Ob Saturday last , the masters came to the decision to reduce the men three-pence in the pair .

ROCBDAliE . —Police law . —1 hare before && occasion to draw the attention of your readers tt the doinga of the great Unpaid" of this town , w 1 think their decision in the following case gands unparalleled . The following magistrates Were w the bench . —Messrs . Royds , Qadwick , Kelsall , Otslej , && < i Heape . A person of the name of Lee , from Heywood , summoned Sergeant Batho ud Inspector Abbott , of the county police , for an iswft , and illegally breaking into her house ; she ore her evidence as follows : —On Sunday morale the 21 st instant , between the hours of ten and n rehe in the forenoon , she , with some neighbours , ¦ sb at in the house , when Batho came in , and
tfter looking all round went away again . ShorJy i&tr . he , accompanied by Abbott , another policeman , ud 1 churchwarden , came past the window ; the vises seeing them earning , went to her door for ue purpose of fastening it , when Batho attempted tt burst it open , which tne witness resisted , but Jang overpowered , the door was forced from its geges with great -violence and hurled ink ) the pddle of tbe floor , and herself much injured by taBg thrown against the wall ; she was then solfain ? from the ill-treatment she had received This eridenee was corroborated by other witnesses . Di the police being called on for their defence , a * j said they had reason to believe that the tease in question was what is here called a
'kishshop , or place where beer is sold without Eeesse , and that they went for the purpose of xeetaminx that fact , and considered themgfres justified in acting &a they had done . Oi being asked by Mr . Chadwkk whether they had bu& any beer , they answered * No . " It ought kre to be remarked that the police , last week , temfhf up Lee for selling beer , but the ease was oaiased as a frivolous charge . It was evident to nj ^ prejudiced mind that the breaking into the par woman ' s honse was the result of disappointment is sot bung able to sacrifice their -rictim . So per iueadent Fbentz said that he had , the week before , based up one of his men , and sent him to this
tasein disguise as a navigator , ( hear that , ye men i Rochdale I ) to fee whether any " hush" was sold tbffe or sot . He ( the policeman ) had seen nothing mag en the premises , and being discovered , he to , as ali such spies and traHors should be , kicked bc of doors . Mr .-Itoyd , as Chairman of Vhe Bench , fpe it as his opinion , beirg backed by a majority rf the Beach , mat the police had acted perfectiy Efki , and lie would flWrJifas the ease . Whereupon ] b . William Chadwick rose up in a state of great astement , and said he was surprised how any Bpstraies could come to men a decidon upon the rndenee before them . They had no evidence of an j - icsi except the breaking into Lee ' s house ; the
B knsh" buaness was all supposition , and he maintosd the opinion that the police had 00 right to i ? ak into any person ^ house without the warns ; of a magistrate . " If , " said he , " it bd been my house , I would have taken the fcw into my own hands , and maintained ca right to defend my own castle . Things were ana to a pretty pass wien people ' s houses could be teken into , because a policeman thought proper to Bspeet something against the inmates . The woman Inhere asked who was to pay the expences . The Qairmansaid the case is dismissed—yos must each W Tonr own . Mr . Chadwick 5 aid \ " Dont pay ) tj e ^ enees ; before 70 a shall pay anything , I will

Chadwick aid to the Superintendent of the district- ^ - " Well , fesix , a Bench of Magistrates have decided that iw have a perfect right to break into any person ' s nse you think proper—so there is no responsibility cached to you ; yon are » t perfect liberty to act U y « i deem fit . " The court was very much crowded *» the above took place , in consequence of its « eag the first general sessions since the introduction f a * Baral Police .

at the New Houses of Parliament , Mr . Speneer in the chair ; the meeting was addressed by Mr Wilson , a delegate from London , and Messrs . Edwards , M'Farlan , Quick , Bobbins , tad Milkr ; and resolutions were adopted pledging tbe meeting to use its influence in supporting those noble-minded men in their battle against the monster Allen , backed as he is by power and capital .

THE MASON'S STRIKE . TO THB EDITOa OP THB « O £ THEBM STAU . Sib , —Permit U 3 through the medium of the Siar to inform the stonemasons throughout the country , that the strike at the new Houses of Parliament , Woolwich Dock yard , and Nelson ' s Monument , is still pendiDg , with a probability ef being bo for a considerable time yet , inasmuch as the walls are being covered up for the winter . The object of Grissell and Peto in doing this is , no doubt , to starve the masons , if possible , into submission to their wishes , having through sad experience , discovered that men without principle are in general without talent .
As most of those who came to London for the purpose of working at these jobs , plead the excuse of having heard or understood that the strike is settled ; we wish it distinct l y to be understood , that such is not the ca ? e , and that hundreds of efficient masons , unconnected with our strike , are walking London streets out of employment , bat who , though solicited byAUen , to commence work at these job ? , from a knowledge of his inhuman treatment , have manfully and icdipiantly spurned hh entreaties . The local masons and other trades of London have nobly done their duty—they are with cs to a man ,
fully determined to support us to the last . The trades of the country too have generously come to our aid . The only enemies we experience from the operatives , and which is not & verv formidable band , are those creatures who have pome to Loiidon professedly journeymen masons , and who are fs ? t proving to GrLssell and Peto that they are as deficient in the necessary abilities to perform their work , as they were in kindred feelings of humanity towards their fellows—having already destroyed , through their ignoranet > , more work tban their gratuitous services could repay for years .
In illustration of their inespacrty and neannew , it perhaps may b 8 proper to stat « that while in London journeymen ' s wages are" five shilliLgs per day , these voluntary instruments of degradation are working for from two shillings and sixpence to five shillings , the great majority receiving only three shillings and sixpence . Grissejl and Peto , writhing under tbe lash of pnblic opinion , have , without the slightest particle of evidence , given a flat denial to the charges we alleged to Allen , and some of Allen's friends have also denied them for him ; he { Allen ) being incapable of writing for hfmself . We have challenged them far the production of their evidence , ( ours being at any time ready . ) and profferred to submit the case to arbitration ; but which , tenacious that " their digriitv would be lowered , " they reject .
Since the publication in the Metropolitan and Provincial press of these denials by Grissell and Peto and their man Friday , Allen , the individual , Thomas Hickey , who had his leg broken , and who they stated was still in Grissell and Pew ' s employment , has published in some of the daily papers , his own version of the case , and which more palpably demonstrates the biutality of Allen , than auy thing we have asserted or written . To controvert Hickey ' s statements , Messrs . Barker and Allen mason ' s foremen , and Wardle , Grissell and Peto ' s pay clerk , hare appeared before a magistrate . Wardle for the parpose of making oath that he did not believe Allen had made U 3 e of
the language imputed to him in Hiekey ' s letter . ADen for the purpose of making oath that he never discharged any man without giving good reasons for so doing , and th * t he never made use of such language as Hjckey had imputed to him . B&ikerfor the purpose of making oath tbat in his 0 pin ' . on , Hickey deserved to be discharged . But strange 10 say , the magistrate , notwithstanding compliments from their superiors , " either from the appearance of these gents ., or the vacillating manner m which they gave their statements , or tome other , to us unknown cause , objected to admit any of iheir statemeats on oath . We admit at once , that Alien did not discharge Hickey without his own reason , but we deny that his reason was a good one ,

1 being accoording to Hickey ' s showing ia the letter he has published , because he ( Hickey ) was a ^ a- — -d lame cripple ; " and this is so very like Alkft ' a general language , that ao one who knows him will doubt its truth ; bat if any does several men , who beard tbe language , are ready to beariestuBOBT to its accuracy , « nd who are * 8 worthy of belief as Richard J . Wardle . Bat the faeUs , they know Allen ' s conduct will not bear pnblio investigation . They at first fancied , in their ignoranoe , that they could Bet us at defiance ; they next tried to create division in our ranks ; ( hey then tried to delnde men to London , to supplant us ; and , finding all those ineffectual , they are endeavoonng , through niisrepteseutation , to destroy the confidence of our friends .
They publicly assert that they want no more hands , having as many as they need ( certainly , of the sort ) , yet continue their Agents ia various parts of the oouatry , practising their delusions upon the unwary , recommending them to the Houses of Parliament ; but where is the man , possessing the feelings Of humanity , who would knowingly submit himself the miserable slave of &noh men ! If there-are any so basely disposed , we shall merely tell them that those agents hare a similar interest in sending them to London as a pig-jobber his cattle—namely , so much per head for any efficient mason who goes to work at either of the jobs Btruck against . Butfrexnthe knowledge we have of our fellowworkme
n , the- disposition they have already shewn and are ooatiauiog to exhibit in our favour—from the knowledge we have of the inability ol those poor degraded serfs , who have attempted to supplant us —from the determination manifested in our own ranks we are sanguine of an unsullied victory ; we know that in every town and village in the queendom we have a host of sincere friends ; we know the straggle we are engaged in ia no ordinary one ; we know that the eyes of our fellow men are upon us ; and beg , therefore , to Btatethat our determination is to maintain that position we have assumed , fearlessly and perseveringly to pursue that line of conduct , which is becoming the character and dignity of men determined to be free .

FABKT AND ILOTD JONES , ON THE COMPARATIVE CLAIMS OF CHABTISM AND SOCIALISM TO PUBLIC SUPPOBT . At the appointed time , half past seven , the two disputant * arrived , Mr . Parry nominated Mr . Morton to be his chairman , Mr . Fleming was appointed on behalf ot Mx . Jo&es . and Mi . Com acted as moderate * , it had been previously arranged that the gpeakers ahonld occupy alternate half hours , and tbe discusaion should dose on each evening at half past 10 o ' clock ; the proceed * after paving all expenses , to be equally divided between Messrs . Parry and Jones , to be by them given to some public purpose . Charge for admission , hall , 2 d . gallery , - * d .
Mr . Lloyd Jones . —The subject they had to dis cuss , did not bear on an ; metaphysical doctrine , on which it was easy to excite the passions o ! an audience ; the question was which of the two systems was best calculated to better the physical , moral , and mental condition of man , which would most speedily and easily guide them to tbe attainment of that liberty and happiness of which they were la pursuit , and the system which in their opinion was best calculated to do this , would receive the support of the majority , or there would be no utility in holding the discussion . What Is Chartism and what is Socialism ; what their probable result when pat into practice ? Socialism is founded on the principles of tho nature of man u au individual ; and collectively as a society . Socialism recommends its
principles to no parties but themselves ; it is independent of foreign aid , it takes advantage of the laws as they exist , to forward the objects it has in view . It is the duty of any body of men before they propose any measure calculated to break up all existing laws , to prove by practical illustration , the usefulness of that which they call upon the masses to adopt , lest tbe proposed remedy should prove a source of extensive Injury Socialism does this ; we are engaged in practically illustrating our doctrines ; bnt to be carried oat on & large scale it demands an extensive capital , and we appeal to the clear-sighted amongst you if you think our views correct , to assist us in carrying them into effect . Socialism etarta with the principle that men will never act well in muses until they act well as Individuals :
we therefore insist upon a good education being given to every human being ; we demand that the land out of which vre have so long been defrauded , ib&U be put in our possession ; we know that by the sanction of the law it is in the hands of others , and that by no logic or argument can we induce them to yield us possession ; the easiest way then is by purchase . I grant that if by a short scuffle , without much bloodshed , we eould get possession of our inheritance , seeing the gTeat misery which exists , that ; wo » ld be the beat ; but seeing that tt # struggle woulii be long and difficult , we think it the safer way to try on a small scale the principles we profess ; to prove by practical measures that a common holding of the common land , is superior to tbe present private holding ; in settling on the land our axiom is ,
tbat no one sheuld be compelled to do for another , what he can do for himself , without yielding a proper equivalent ; erery member of society should use his exertions for the benefit of society , and in return should be entitled to an equal share of the benefits derived from the labour of the whole ; misery and crime would then be banished the earth , none would netd to ask their brother men for leave to toil ; and you must bear in mind that tbJB could be effected without the passing of any new law or the abrogation of any law now in existence , this we have clearly proved by practical experiments . I put these principles , thus supported , against those advocated by the Chartists ; they only claim political power , forgetful that they must be in possession of knowledge to rightly secure that power after the Charter ; you will tben have
to decide whether you will repeal tbe Corn Laws , abolish the House cf Lords , remove private property , or what measure you will adopt , and te agree upon this would take you as much time as it would , if you clearly understood your interest , to remove want , and the fear of want from the face of the earth , * to complete your views yea mast have a majority of the nation , ours can be accomplished by a section ; you are far from being united ; you have even Operative Conservative Associaations ; your Hunts , jour Cobbetts , your Cartwrights have gone to their graves , and still you are in the same position , and likly to remain so . One of our infiuemial jouru&lB says , tnat with a few exceptions you are a set of incorrigible scoundrels ( Name ) The Times . TIiIb shows the ttrong feeling agaiast you : Socialism is superior to Chartism , because we do not depend upon others , we rely only on our own resources .
Mr . Parry . —\ l my Lord Normanby or any ether profound legislator was to enter this room , he would suppose we were met to congratulate her Mujesty upon tbe blessing she has given to the country , which , ia the language of the newspapers , has filled t * ie hearts of her subjects with tnmultons joy ; bnt how greviously -would he be disappointed on finding that T ? e had mat to dUcover the true cause of our grievances , to endeavour to throw the wealth , the Government of tbe count-y into other hands than those which now possess it Mr . Jones has placed before you Socialism as a means of remedy . I will not attempt to arouse a prejudice against men whose laudable endeavours to promote human advancement I greatly respect ; I will merely tvrnTn ^ Tia 'w hether the rational system of society will
prove a remedy for evils bo universally admitted , but before doing bo we will examine if the Charter is the crude undigested scheme Mr . Jcnes represents it to be . The Charter was drawn up by int diligent honest ineu ; the names of some ot tho meat talented men in the country -are appended to tbat document . Mr . Jones has said the Times newspaper has called us a set of incorrigible scoundrels . What care we , what cares any friend of freedom , for what that mass of Inconconsistency and absurdity says of our cause ? we well know the justioe of ear cltAmg , we are anxious to bring into practical operation that sygtsm ef equal representation which ha * been the goal towards which all tfooA and great men have directed their attention . Mr . Jones tells you of the difBculties you will have in persuading
the Honse * of Legislature to listen to your ciaims ; 11 these parties look with an evil eye upon Chartism , do they regard social communities with a more favourable aspect ? In my opinion our object is to discuss principles and not difficulties , else I could bring such an overwhelming host of difficulties in array against Socialism , that even Mr . J' > nes wonld admit there were greater difficulties in the way of Socialism than Chartism . Mr . Jones may not be able to see the advantages we should attain from the passing of the Charter . I will not pretend to demonstrate , lik » a problem of mathematics , what result * will ensue . But if any reliance can be placed on history ; if from a review of tbe past , we may estiaiata the probabilities of tbe future , tben we must coma tatha canelusion , that man's happiness ia mads or marred by the political institutions under which he lives . We shall always find that those who have been possessed of political power , have had the means cf benefiting
themselves . If th « power baa been vested in tbe monarch , there has been , no distress , in hAa abode ; the same in an oligarchy ; they have flourished in luxury and effluence , regardless of toe evils by which tbey were snaoundeil . Rarely , very Tately , has the power been in veiled in the hands of th « people ; but in ancient Greece and Route , in Switzerland , in America , or wherever Vaey have possessed political powers there have they been enabled to increase their physical comforts , to risu in tho toale of moral and inteUsetna * dignity . Place the pulitieal power we demand , in th& hands of the people , and tne evils which now press upon us would no longer be suffered to exist I do not mean that the Charter , like the wand of Prospero , would immediately produce all we are in need of j we have lived too Ion ? under tbe baneful effects of class legislation far its effects to be rooted out in & day . But U : is it will do—it . wiligive iistbe power gradually to destroy all th ^ tneeds destruction , and to reform all thai c « d » improvement Mr . Jones say * , " We do not go fai enough , " we do not

propose enough . " Tnw , we do not propose aa Socialista does , to do everything to torn this world into a perfect paradise . Mr . Parry then read an extract from the laws of the Social Community , itating that akktiew wonld scarce ever intrude upon tbeir dominions , and that poverty and the feat of poverty would be baniabwl forever . This is indeed aa handaome offer , and if « a were oertaia it would be realised , we moat be mad not toembrac * lt Bat Ujla is only prophecy ; I too might prophecy , ] # ve > peao * . and JiappiiutS toalL Batw » appeal to history ; and experience to bear us out ; 1 appeal to Mrf Jones whetbja , every attempt of Mr . Owen or his disciples tr realise sr Commnnlty has not provjed a failure ? Tbe system of socialism i * . a dreamy system ; U Is opposed to huntonature ; itcaanever
be carried into operation , unless yon can rednce all mankind to one dead level ; unless you can annihilate human passions . A « well might you expett the dwarf to stand on a level with the giant , as to expect a man ot . enlarged mind , to place himself on a level with one whose mind is scares above the grade of an idiot ; and you mu » t neceeaar iiy nave' tbeae clwtacteM to community . Mr . Jones ha * implied , tnat If we were in power we should make no proflsion for reUgJooa freedom , and says , the SodaUsta are a Hying monument of persecutien I admit they are , bat there is a growing desire amongst all clawes to do away with these unjust laws to allow every man to worship : according to his conaoientioua belief . In the Charter we give to every man a vote , regardless whether he is a Jew , Mahomedsn , or Christian .
Mr . ^ Jones—To the Chatter , as fat as it goes , I have no objection ; there i » not a principle in it but I agree with , and I have a strong desire that these principles should , as speedily as possible , be brought into practice . Bat though the principles of the Charter are good , othw principles may be more valuable : there may be , if I may so term it , golden principles of truth , and copper principles of truth . I consider the principles of Chartism to be equally true as those of Socialism , but of less value . Mr . Parry has told you of the misery among the werklng classes , and that the Charter would remove it . I admit that if tbey bad the power they would desire to remove it ; but they might be deficient of the knowledge . The Chartists , as a united body , have only laid claim to the privilege
of law-making ; they have laid down no defined plan for their future conduct The Socialists have laid down a plan ; they say that machinery is the prime cause of the distress of the working class , and therefore they will pat it under better direction—that competition is at the reot of these evite , and they will abolish it by planting communities . Mr . Parry saya that we must discuss principles , and not difficulties ; but the relative djffloultiea must form a portion of our discussion , for granting that both systems aie true , that ia most worthy of oar support which la accompanied with the fewest difficulties . Mr . Parry states that there are greater difficulties in the way of our receiving public support than in the way of the Charter . I grant that there is a hundred times greater difficulties , bat
we care nought for this : our planB can be carried out by a Tew ; we do not want the majority . Oar plan , though surrounded with greater difficulties , if more feasible ; we rely on ourselves , not on others . When the Bishop of Exeter brought Socialism before the House of Peers , oeforo these exceeding wise old women , the Great Captain of the age said if it was true it was horrible . They all declared , with the mock modesty of old maids , that indeed it was very bad ; but what conclusion did they come to ? Why , the iron Duke told them that they could not interfere with us , while we kept within tbe laws , without interfering with same of oar most valuable institutions . We care not with what sort of an eye they look upon us , or what they say oi ua ; we shall be like that animal of
which it is said that the more it ia earned the more it thrives . Mr . Parry has objected to our large promises —to our saying tiutt sickness will be almost unknown , and want entirely . If we make promises , which we cannot perform , we are guilty of great weakness , to call it by its mildest term ; but where great poverty exists , there will yon find groat disease . Bemove the cause , and the effect will cease . Where does sickness most rage bat in low haunt * of crowded cities . This evil Socialism would do away with , or greatly ameliorate . Mr . Jones then explained why Mr . Owen had not succeeded in forming a flourishing community . If Mr . Owen bad failed in every attempt , that should not deter them from endeavouring to attain perfection . Mr . Owen ' s experiment at New Lanark bad perfectly Succeeded as an educational and commercial establish meat , and had realised him a handsome fortune . The Shaker and Rippite communities in America had also succeeded . The first railroads , the first steam engines ,
* c , were failures , but from these failure * experience was gained which ultimately led tj success . Mr . Parry says ours is a prephttcy not founded on facts . I assert that the benefit ) to bo derived from the Charter are only speculative , and it remains with you to decide which prophecy Is meat likely to prove true . Mr . Parry has asked how property would be distributed in a community , If he had carefully examined our laws , be would have possessed every information on this subject We do net want to bring the giant in mind or body to a level with the dwarf , but we want to hinder the giant from oppressing the dwarf . We do not want to bring all to oue dead level , but , like the various notes in a piece of muaic , which are all dissimilar , ytt , whtn properly mingled , produce harmony and beauty—bo would our ' a be a By&tem ot mingled or common interests . Political power is only valuable to procure domestic happiness , and we contend we can attain this with our present political
power . Mr . PaBBY said , Mr Jones has asserted tint I have equally prophesied with himself . Surely Mr . Jonea must have forgotten himself . I asserted that no atate of society had yet realised that state of freedom from sickness and want anticipated by Mr . Jones ; and , therefore , It was prophecy . 1 stated tbat any body of men who hod gained possession of political power had always been enabled to advance their own Interest * Those who wielded the power were not sufferers ; those who hbd not the power did suffer . I appuajed to history in proof of this . I deduced from this fact that if the people of this country were in possession of political power , they would , as far as their knowledge allowed thorn , exercise it for their own benefit . Mr .
Jones might have complained that my proofs were not good , but not that I asserted without bringing proofs . Mr . Jones has humourously said that there are golden and copper principles . I think Socialism lays hold of the golden ones . The grand abject of Socialism is the establishment of communities ; once obtain entrance there , and all other benefits would speedily follow . Mr . Parry then read extracts from the laws , shewing that , £ 50 must be paid by every individual previously to entering the community . True , it need not be paid aU at once ; it can be paid by sums as low as sixpence per week , and with such means , they can produce , in spite of our present laws , a scene of happiness and plenty . But how can the poor , -wretched , ill-paid operatives of this country ever expect to pay £ 50 ?—a
man , with his wife and four children , to give £ 300 to get into community ! Can tho Spital fields weavar bare any hope of such an eveut ? InaLBaJ of taking his sixpence to a community , he wr > uld take it into a baker ' s shop . It is almost mockery to talk to inea dying at their loohia of the beauty and prosperity of communities ; it would take tho average duration of luan'a life to pay £ 59 , at the rato of sixpence per week . You must first gt t political power , to enable you to get ths ' necessary fun . is . One rule of the Association I would , aa a well-wisher , press upon youi Congress to alter—that wisich . st- ' . tes that all otherlhinga being equal , tho person wlv- > baa paid tile moat money shall be the firat admitted h > to the community . Socialism puts forth a system which professes to be perfect they say that theirs is ihe most perfect system
which it is possible for the mind of wan , with his present amount of knowledge , to arrive at ; they make no allowance for progression . We do not profess to put forth a system ; wo int rely desire the adoption oi certain principles , the result of which will be to give to all an equal share of political power , and there is no doubt that , vritb . th « hatred Ihey entexUln to certain existing itstitulions , they would effect many changes ; but it ia premature to say now what those changes will be . "Whence have the power ; and have collected into one focus the intelligence of the age , it is for them to dacide upon the measures to be adopted . Changes which might ceeonteinplated now , might not be nt-eeisary hi a foiv years' time : wa only desire' tha power to be enabled , as society progresses , to suit our institutions to its new features . Mr . Jonta has
admitted that the difficulties in the way of Socialism are one bundrci times greater than those of Chartism : not only are religious prejudices to be overcome , but also those of private property ; and by no charm of eloquence—by no chain of argument , can you persuade men who have property to give it up to those "who have none , for tbe Sake of some future benefit . You may get a few philanthropic Individuals , hut the bulk of those who havo property will ever be opposed to yon , from toe Great Captain of the age down to the £ 10 peddling shopkeeper . I think Mr . Jones will see the force of this argument
Mr . JONES . r—KIk . Parry has found fault wita our mode of admission to Community . I think it is but ju 3 t that all other qualifications being equal , the parson who I xb pr . id mott should be the mott eligible . Ho groat ' y objects t > ours because it ia a perfect ) plan ; the Charter proposes nothing , this he considers wisdom . 1 differ with this entirely . You intend to pull down the present system of society ; the plan yon intend to substitnte should be well discussed in all its bearings , Done bat fools or madmen would attempt to pull down their habitation unless they were prepared with one to occupy in its stead ; we have done so ; we have preparedJa system to replace tho one , and endeavour * ing to do this , Mr . Parry calls presumption . He alao
says we make no allowance for progression , we do not say that our plan shall last for ever , that there shall-be j no alteration , but we do B&y it is the btst that our i present knowledge will allow ua to devise . I admitted j that our difficulties were greater than those in tbe way of the Chartists by Vooo times , but society is fast working for us ; the ttomach of man , tbat most powerful of ell reasoners , will come to our aid , and before it pw > - judico ¦ will vanish ; if by the success of our experiment we can prove that plenty and happiness can be realized , what working man can shot hia eyes to such facts ! what man- will fail to be convinced 1 they may say our metaphysics are bad , but community is good , and we ¦ will go wifi yoi , and they will then demand eommunii ties with a voice a thousand times louder than they now

demand the Charter . The very cupidity of the other classes will force them t ? assist to , they will see it ia a profitable apeoolation Ior their capital ; we are aware tbr > . t all eannot at' obee enter conunnnitar , that the spitaifielda weaver cannot give us sixpence wa do not want it of him ; bat there are others who do aymp&thto with us , who , by t ! ieir extra contributions , will find an asylum in community , even fog the Spitalfields weaver . The Chaitiat only claims a right to vote , he does not even hint to the pnblio bow h * will exercise that vote . The ChartistSMa body an disunited ; then are moral force rn&n and physical force men ; they follow this leader aad that Jesder , and fcav » to beg awl pray for thoir rights to those who am interested in - keeping

It cares not for the parliament , but stands ori the truth of its principles and their application to practice ; the man who depends upon himself is a thousand timea better off than thw-man Who depends on others ^ Look at your dissensions with Brewster . Look at the conduct of the two bodies . We acting under one head fa a concerted movement , as one united body . You split into sect ? and parties . You boast of your political prisoners ; this shows your wsuit of wisdom . I think 1 have clearly established the superior wisdom and practiblllty of the Social syrtsm . in of
Mr . Pa ^ ry— Mr . Jones appealed proof the correctness of bis systeai , to tbe isolated Communities in America ; I to the united testimony of human history . I leave you to judge , whose appeal is of tho most valne . Mr . Jones saya , Communities moat succeed because the Shakers and Bappltes nave eat ibliahmeots in America . Bat taero is this great difference ; America is a new country , is almost « n untaxed country , land ia to be obtained' for a mere trifle ; England is an old country , possessing institutions formed to suppress every attempt made on a large scale to benefit the whole community . England is crowded With a busy competitive population ; every inch of ground it claimed and appropriated . Is it fair to draw a parallel between the two cases ? I have no doubt that certain
pait ' es might form a Community which would benefit themselves , in the Sandwich Islands , the wilds ef Australia , or any other isolated place if they agreed amongst themselves ; bnt if the system iir perfect it should succeed everywhere . Mr . Jones admits that the very poor cannot be expected to get into Community until some period far in pr # » peetiva What a prospect is tola for unhappy Ireland , for the millions who are in ntter destitution , many compelled to exist on sea weed andfisb 1 What a prospect for fch » starving population ef England f truly may it be said , to be " fine by degrees and beautifully less , " and by degrees it vanishes altogether . True , the Charter lays down no system , bnt we have certain things floating in our heads . There is universal education : this we cannot
obtain on account ot the well-pud priest , bat we would get rid of the priest , or at least pay him so as to make him dependent ; we could then gtt education . We call upon the people to arouse in their micbty power , and we havd such confidence in the forcv of truth and intelligence , that we fear not tbe result . In agitating for the Charter , we are advocating a grand national plan-Socialism is but a small petty scbeme . Only think of the presumption of a Benefit Society founded of the ltth of George the IV ., and the < Uh Elizibetb , completely setting at rest the whole of oar national grievances . Yet Mr . Jones says he glories in this presumption . He tells you it has , anoeeeded in America ( of which I shall say more to-moffaw eveuipg ) and therefore it will succeed In every aitv&ttou , . He tells of
their splendid Halls throughout tho country . I allow that these Halls we valuable , but because they have Halls in two or three large towns , doe * it warrant ua in believing that these HalU will be found in every town of the kingdom I . Look at the usual , manner in which this Hall ia occupied . Lecbuves , singing , dancing , grammar , and other classes . Why , in these respects it is inferior to the meanest Mechanic Institution in any town in the kingdom , differing scarcely , in any , respect from them , save in presumption . If the Socialist bad the buildings used as Mechanics Institutions throughout the country , they would think the millenium bad come ; these things are all good in their way , but they are bnt one of the phases in tbe mighty progress of society . Mr . Jones referred to Spilt * in proof of the practicability
of kia system ; bat in Sparta , the mind , the intellectual portion , was entirely neglected , aU their aim waa to render their physical condition perfect In this Lycurgus partly succeeded , but surely Mr . Jones would aot wish to put Sparta , because it was somewhat of a religious community , because they eat at one common table , as an example to us in England . In Sparta the ' r sons and daughters were complete slaves ; their minds were in a deadened state of stupour . Socialism paid so much attention to the body , that it neglected tbe mind . They had in no instance attained eminence in arts or literature . Mr . Jones had said much about their d \ annion ; there was no disunion respecting the principles , and he must consider their vast numbers , and that they
had not bad tbe advantage of a rational system of education , and that the strong feeling induced by their necessity would , in some Instances , overpower their reason . Mr . Jones had taunted them with their political prisoners ; bad they had no respectable booksellers imprisoned for blasphemy ? It might ba well for the members of a Benefit Society to talk of peaceable quiet measures , but it was impossible that a nation goaded almost to madness by d la tress , could talk or act without some symptoms of violence . Ha scarcely believed that such perfect quietude could be obtained even in a Socialist Community . It was his firm eonviction that Universal Suffrage would become the law of the land long ere tho land was studded with universal communities .
The Chairman congratnlatad tho assembly on the manner in which they had conducted themselves , and felt convinced that the same conduct would characterise them on the following evening .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREA . T BRITAIN . Bbothbb . Democrats , —In addressing you again , I will lay before you , in as concise and plain a manner as I can , onr actual portion . The Association now extends to 282 localities ; that is , they have formed , or are forming themselves into the National Charter Association , It is very trne that in very many places they have not been enabled to send for their cards of membership : in Stockport , Colne , and Beveral other districts , such is the amount of destitution , tbat it is impossible they eould come forward with their contributions to the good cause . But the poor fellows have done their best . Having left Manchester on last Friday fortnight , I travelled via Hnll . where Mr . Leach had
a glonous meeting , After having agitated the principal towns in Yorkshire , we met some good men in Hull . We sailed from Hull , and arrived in London on Sunday evening . The Executive commenced their sittings on Monday . The country have before them Borne of our deliberations . We have had a good deal of business to transact ; and , from the letters I have received from all parts of the country , every satisfaction has been given . The balance sheet is partly in type , and will be out on Saturday week . The expenees we have been at have not amounted to ten pounds per week , whilst eur income during nineteen weeks has been about £ 170 ., our ontlay ^ 183 . Tbe Corn Law repealers have expended more monev in one week .
aye in one day , than we have in five months , yet such is the intellige&ee of the people , that tbe Corn Law repealers cannot progress , whilst onr principles are progressing with railway velocity . I must now allude to London and the prospects of our cause . There are now twenty-five districts , in each of which the association numbers from twenty to three hundred members each . The materials in London are excellent , aye , my friends in London , in aristocrat io London , Chartism ia widely disseminated I met Mr . Maynard , an excellent Chartist , not exactly one of your talking Chartists , but a hard working Chartist , who treated me very kindly , in fact not only did Mr . Maynard treat me so , but also did Messrs . Wheeler , Salmon , Taylor , Polling , Jago , Rohsos , and several other good men and tne . The plan adopted by the London Chartists to obtain
signatures to the petition , is well worthy of adoption by all , namely , to take a p « tiHon heading to every house , and after it has remained a day or two , to call for it again , and then to solicit the signatures of ail the adults ia the house . The London men are resolved to visit the Archbishop of Canterbury , Lord John Russell , Sir Robert Peel , the Duke of Wellington , and as many of the aristocrats as possible , to obtain their signatures to the National Petition . The London Chartists anticipate half a million of signatures from the Metropolis alone . My friends , you . should see to understand the real position we occupy . I lectured in St . Pancras , us Sunday week last , to an overflowing audience . After ten o ' clock , I had to tramp to Marylebone , where there was another densely crowded meeting . I addressed them for half an hour , and they urgently requested me to remain in town for another week , and lecture for them . I consented to do so . On
Monday night , I addressed a pnblic meeting in Wandsworth , where the National Petition was adopted in the most enthusiastic manner . On Tuesday night , I addressed them in Lambeth . On Wednesday night , the Execntive attended the meetings of the General Council . On Thursday and Friday nights , I attended the discussion between Loyd Jones and Mr . Parry . On Saturday night , I attended at Limehonse , and on Sunday night , I lectured at Maryiebone , to an audience of about 800 perBonB . The meeting was a bnmper and seemed highly delighted with my humble efforts . And now a word forthe discussion betwixt Messrs . Jones and Parry ; In my humbleopinion , Mr . Parry had the best of the argument . He never dealt in personalities , whilst Mr . Jones , I think , did do so , making use of the rascally Times , which called the Chartists aa incorrigible set of scoundrels , and shewing up to the meeting the fate of poor Frost . however but
The two disputants , , are cleyer men , Mr , Parry ' s conduct , at the close of the discussion , more firmly rivetied in my mind the good opinion I entertained of him , by his giving up his share of the proceeds to the masons on strike . I thought Mr . Jones was abont to do the same thing , when , to my surprise , he said he would give his share to the Tytherly Community . In conclusion , brother democrats , allow me to congratulate you on our present glorious position . Oret every mountain top are the glad tidings of Chartism carried ; through every valley are they wifted . by every passing breeze ; in every village , borough , and city onr principles are predominant . Onward , and we conquer ; backward , and we fall Universal Suffrage . , and No Surrender ! I remain , Brother democrats , Your fellow-labourer in the good cauBe , Jobs Campbell , Secretary .
