DUNDEE . GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF PRINCIPLE OYER DELUSION . The anti-Corn Law genilemen , in acordanoe with the tactics of the party throoghont the country , on tearing the result of Tamworth Bob's fire months ' deliberation , resolved to get up a public meeting to Enounce the sliding sealo , to petition the House of Commons against it , and memorialise her Majesty for the dismissal of the present Ministry , They , presented a requisition to the Provost , signed by abo'iii 250 merchants , manufacturers , and shopkeepers , and he fixed the meeting to be held en [ Monday , the 23 th ult ., at one p . m . on the Magdalen Yard Green ,
On the Wednesday previous , the Secretary of the Democratic Council , received a letter from the Secretary of the ^ Complete Suffrage Association , suggesting a conference between the Council acd the CociEiittee of the latter body , in order to come to an unanimous resolutioa on the Suffrage , as they understood that that question vronld corns before the mfe ; ingat the conclusion of the Corn La ^ -business . The council had previously resolved to move amendments to _ any resolution that might be submitted to the meeting , pledging them to agitate in any tray on the Corn Laws ; and , at their meeting on Friday evening , preparatory to the conference with the ' Sturge party , " they resolved to adhere to their former decision ; and five members were appointed to
confer with the other committee . On their meeting , the Secretary of the Complete Suffraga Association Eai-d they wished to knovr what course the Chartists intended to pursue on the Suffrage being brought before the mc-etin < r . He was informed that they in ihat matter would ha guided by circumstances ;—that in the event of a notion being snbmitted for complete or universal si-ffrage , it would T > e met by an amendment for the Charier , asd that the Chartisis ivould not agree to any resolnnon for any thing les ? . A copy of a resolution was submitted : o them which received the approbation of almost sli the members of the Complete Suffrage Commitiie . This matter , then , seemed to be cettled . bat the ? , cane the qsesiioi ; of Questions . "Hot ? do yon intend to aft on the Corji Law question ! " asked the Complete Suffrage Patriots . (?) There was the rub . " They weTs told the course
intended to be pursued by the council—a course "which the Sturgites consdered to be " Tery unwise , very ill-judged , and calcalated to ipjarc the cause of Chartism . " The deputation of courss gaTe an opposite opinion ; it was pcljcy they had successfully pursued with great advantage to ikeir cause , a 3 was evidenced by tho formati-m of Complete Suffrage Associations among the middle classes , whe would not have gone that length had it not been for the opposition given io the anti-Corn La-rr movement by the Chartists . The deputation wished one of the other party to move , second , or support the resolution , which was of a sort agreed to by both parries ; but none being present who would nndertaketto dp ibis , it was agreed that six of each Cemraittee should meet on Saturday evening , to make the final arrangements .
They met 33 agreed upon ; but instead of settling about ? pfat * rs , tho time W 23 spent in discussing the policy of opposing the resolutions on the Cora Laws . The Chartists still adhering to their former resolve , the meeting broke up , ihe Complete Suffrage men declaring that the -conference would do more harm than good , as they thosght ilwouM break up their association . - The greatest excitement prevailed on Monday ; by twelvo o ' clock , the streets were throsged with working men , hurrying to the ? ees 3 of action ; a fixed determination to stand by the right visible on their honest open eorntensnees . By one o'clock , 16 , 000 or 13 ; C 00 persons were ccs ^ regsttd rennd the hustings .
Edward Baxter , Esq ., was unanimcusly called to the chair . He opened the business by commenting on the cendccE of magistrates , their refusal to pr £ ? ide , &nd the holding of the meeting on the Magdalen Yard Green , instead of the High-street , during this inclement season - of the year . H « contrasted the condacs of Provost Lswson , the present chiefmsgistrate , in refusing to preside over such an important meeting cf ! he whole inhabitants as i ' r . e present convened by hiirself , ard the conduct of the Provosts , Hackney and Johnston e , who , when they convened a portion of the inhabitants only presided at the me-jtings . Ho read a letter he had received from the Tjtth Clerk , stating that the magistrates
hzd leara-: ^ that other business ihan that mentioned in the req-r sitic-ii , -was to be brought before the meet- , ing , and that an effi ° y of Sir Robert Peel was to be " paraded through ihe streets , and afterwards buriicd in the ilarket-p 12 . ee , and expressing their disapproval of n : ea proceedings , and holding him responsible for the peace of the town . He had returned for answer that he knew nothing of the eSscy until that mqseiit ; that he saw it in the street , and that ihe magistrates should now , as always , be prepared to preserve the peace—( cheers ) . " Us iiien stated the business of the meeting , enjoining them to preserve order , and promised a fair hearing to all Trao wished to ' address the meeting .
Mr . ArEXi > "DE 2 Eaisos , manufacturer , in" a speech composed of the usual anti-Cora Law arguments , moved the following resolution : — - liTba . t this sieetiag considers the sliding scala of dutiEd on foreign gzain , proposed by Sir Robert P . eel , as an insult end a mockery to the patient and long-E ^ eriBg people ; aad this meeting believes tha t the Government would not have proposed such a measure had not the patkuce of ths people , under their "srrcag 3 , inGuoed the arutccracj to believe that they would Ent-mit to aayihing however oi > Dressi 7 e and unjust "
This was seconded by W . G . Baxter , Esq ., who apologised for the absence of his brother , through indisposition , who intended to second the resolution . Sir . John D ~ ycA > " stated that he cordially agreed ¦ with the latter part of the resolution—the patience of the people had emboldened others thai the aristocracy to oppress them . The resolution was passed crauijnonsly . The Rev . Mr . Giltillam , in one of the most ludicrous and bombastic speeches tve ever had the misfortune to listen to , moved the following resolution . " Tiat this meeting declares its conviction that the essential food of irian is exempt , by ths laws cf nature and providence , from all liability to restriction of taxation ; and that every interference with its free exchange for the honestindustrv of the labouring classes is immoral and irreligious . "
The Rev . Mr . Spencs bricSj seconded tho resolution , which was agreed to . At this stage of the proceedings Daniel MeEwen , Esq ., writer , was appointed elerk to the meeting . Thomas Saitcders , Esq .. merchant , - in moving the next resolution , declared his conviction that justice would never be done to the people without a change In the representative system of the country . The resolution was as follows : — " That a memorial to the Queen and a petition to Parliament be presentsd from this meeting , in accordance with these resolutions , the memorial to the Queen praying that her olsjesty -will dismiss from her Cotrcii-B , her present Mir ' sters as altogether rfieompstent and unwi'liBg to cornet tee ifiairs of this great ijation en the principles o : ; : istice and humanity . "
Seconded by D . 1 . 1 c t / ws >\ S- « j-, who declared tha * he war as great a Reformer as any man present , ye refused to officiate as clerk , because he anticipated an arsendmcut being proposed . David retired amid the disapprobation of tho mccti-cr . Mr . Jonrf Dusca :. ' then came forward , and was received -with loud cheers . He reviewed the speeches of the previous speakers , especially the effusions of the parsons , amidst loud buis ' . s of applause . He characterised them as hypocrnes , for standing aloof from the agitation for the rights of the people , yet joiriag the manufacturers in their cry for cheap bread . - He earnestly called upon the people to stand firm to iheir principle ? , and concluded by moving the followiDK amendment to tht resolution : —
" That it is ths opinion cf ihiBineeting that the many svils cf -which th-j -working clashes of Britain have to comp ' iain ari 3 e principally from class legislation , ard ¦ will continue to exist , in one form or another , until Jhe whole m 3 la yopiiiitlon above twenty-one years t f age , he in posses--: on cf the right of electing men to rsprasent them in tiie Hunsa of Commons , according to the plan of representation denominated the People ' s Charter ; acd , beicg convinced that the repeal of an ? fcad law would fail to remedy the existing distress— ( so long as the power of law making rests in the bunds rf \ he nii&ale and higher classes alonej—and that it vrotiid be a profligate waste of the mfeans and energies Ci the peoDie , and a mockery of tkeii iniseiies to agil-tc-lor anything fhort of tlia fall measni-e ox their rights , bCTebj resolve to agitate for the enactment into law of the * People's Charter , and to give ns countenaECi or support to any movement for a Ies 3 measure of jistict . "
( Great cheeriDg . ) 2 , lf . W . Davidson se-rondea the amendment . He urged the people to be £ rm and rely upon them-elvcs , as they could expect no support from either Whigs or Tories . Mr . P . ftkbkts supported the amendment , " - The C-HAiHiiAN then took the vote , when the "hands cf the vast mullitud ? were raised for the amendment , and few , very few indeed , against it . Tue Chairman declared the ameiidmer t carried by a large majority ; we ? hould say by at least fifiy to cue . His " announcement of the Tote was received "with rapturous applaus ; , which lasted for some minutes . The Chaiejias wiihed to know if Mr . Duncan intended to embod y the resoluiioii in a netition .
Mr . Duscax said ho had no objection , and moved a resolution accordingly . The anti-Corn Law psrry then insisted thatthe , spirit of all the re ^ oluuonc should ba embraced in , the peUtion . This was objected to by tbe Chartists . ; After some discussion , . Mr . Dancan withdrew his ' motion , and Mr . Peterkir .-yan ., moved the adoption of a petition embxacing the spirit of all the re 3 olutions , "which was sec-Lsded by Mr . Alex . Ycnng . Mr .

On being put to the vote , the amendment was carried by a large majority . A clerk being required to draw up the minutes of the meeting , Mr . John Hunter and Mr . James M'Pheraon were severally proposed . On a vote being takes Mr . James M'Pherson was eleoted by a large majority , After a hearty vote of thanks to the Cfcairman for his impartial conduct in the chair , and three cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly dispersed . This was truly the moBt important meeting held in Dundee since the commencement of our agitation .
On its deciaon depended the existenoe of Chartism in this quarter , and it has really decided this . It has strengthened us , secured our supremacy as the leading and only political party , and verified the prediction of the Complete Suffrage seers , for it has not only destroyed theia , but laid the last clod on the grave of the poor " corn craik 3 . " Add Dandee to the list of victories . Right has obtained over might ; let those who have not yet met ihe deluders follow our example . On our return from the meeting , we beheld the foolish display of the burning of Peel ' s effigy . Fangh ! Is this ihe " respectable" mode of agitation 1

SINCERITY OF THE ANTI-CORN LAW LEAGUE MEN IN THEIR ADVOCACY OF CHARTIST PRINCIPLES . Evesy week , and almost every day , ig now big with events tending to prove that our advice to the people to " take care of themselves" in the proposed and eagerly sought for aliianco of their new friends , the Corn Law repealing " Extension " men , was fuunded on a clear and right view cf the character of these worthips .-
In cur last , we noticed a great public meeting at ' Wolverhampton , in which it appeared from the fate of the resolutions , of the speeches , and of the whole proceedings , that " the entire animal" had been bolted without the least wincing . The Charter was acknowledged in the first resolution to bo the first thing necessary to be gone for , as a meass whereby relief from unjust legislation was to be had . The resolution was moved by one of their first-rate men ; it contained no reference to any distinct agitation for Cora Law Repeal now but referred to the Charter as the thing to be obtained . Here it is : —
" That the distress under which the people of this i town and district are now—and have been for so 1 long suffering—is caused by the laws whirh restrict ; the importation of food ; that the ministerial proposal foi the amendment of these Iaw 3 adds insult to in- ; jury by its mockery of relief ; that tho certainty of ] such amendment being carried by the majority of the i members of the present House of Commons , is a ' proof of the necessity of putting an end to these and ] other evils of class legislation , by such extension of ; the franchise as shall secure to all ranks of the people = that full , fair , and free representation , as defined in ; the People ' s Charter , to which ou the principles of . tho constitution they are entitled . " The only other resolution , a memorial to the \ Queen , was of a precisely similar character , pray- ;
ing : — i " That , a 3 your petitioners have been denied ' justice by the House of Commons a 3 at present con- siituted , they beg that your Majesty will take such I mea-ures as shall secure to your people a full , fair , and free representation , as defined by tne People ' s ; Casrter . " This memorial was seconded by a Mr . Keitlx ; and a very pretty Chartist kettle he boiled . We have not read a more excellent Chartisj speech this j long time than than this sama Mr . Kexils ' 3 speech , ' ' as reported in the " Plague ' s" orgai ; , The StoffjrdsTiire Examiner , save that it smacks a Icclls too : strongly of Baillie Jarvey ' s " htt poker . " That fiom a newly converted Y / hig is a thing of course : and it was beside so nicely " bevilbd off" that it
might pass , upon the whole , for a very capital initiatory Whig-Cnartist introduction to the school j of peaceful agitation . Take a sample of it from the ' Plague ' s organ : — i " From all he had -witnessed daring his time , he j was now convinced that the representative system 1 was defective ; and that nothing but a fall , fair , and free representation of the people could lead them to hope for any jus . tice . The legislative and executive
in thig country were based upon the principle of aristocracy , and that alonf * . Labour was the only property not recognised by the constitution . The principle of aristocracy ha-J been tried and found , Tvantiug , The intelligence 01 tho a <; e bad condemned it . The aristocracy had cried " no hu r - Tendcr . " Let the people thcut back again "to the principle of aristocracy noquar ^ r' '—( loud cheers . ) The repeal cf the Corn Law wcul-i give them the key of the cupboard ; but Universal Suffrage would give
them the key of the v ? hole hr . use —( great cheering ) . They had that day fully a ? : d fairly taken up that question ; and it wouli be for theai to say whether thsy were 10 go on with it —( cheers , and eric- of " yes , yes ") . Lit" them r ^ mtmber that they had tried the ecasiitutioi ; , j-nc the pinch-point must coko soon . They all felt that m « .-y were upon the ovc of great events —( hear , hsarj . Men had begun to contemplate things that were not talked about . Ho was not an-advocate for physical force ; but there must be a mighty change , or the bonds of society wili be broken Piuiider . ' '
i \ o"w we a ? k . araveiy if a fairer seeming could bo ; asked for by Hit people than tha . which this meeting cxh : bi : s o : v . hearry co-opc-2 - ation of tho ' " plagui * nidii Wit ' a the Chartists , a . determined ' eHbriior "full , fair , a : d free represeuration" ? So ' . adroitly were al ! : lii : ^ s managed that Duffy who "was the ?; said tha : : — 1 ' He and his br&iher Chartists had come there ' lira : < i ~ y determined , if any trickery had been ; practised , to move an amendiflein ; but when he saw t
men comic . " ou : honestly and justly , as the- gentle- men around him had done , to obtain their rights j then he wou > g say all opposition ought to cease—to '' be buried lind forgotten for ever . Ho would say , let them be peaceable , loyal , and ju-c , above ail ; things ; and constitutionally attend to Their own rigais . Let them go forth , and tiiey would obtain i ^ hu Charter . Le * every man prestnt join tlie j Ch-s . rt £ T Association . Ho was proul to see the un- animity that prevailed aniGn- ;; t ihe middle and ! woiking classes of this terra . " j I : i !
Certainly if anything betoken unanimity , and be [ calculated to give the appearance of sincerity to the j proceedings of the " Plague'' men , this meeting did j do so . "What is the fact I "What was itsresult 3 ? Did it end in the whole bevy gi " re ? pec . able" middl ; dass " Plague" men gomg covrn to th : ^ Chartist rooms and enrolling li :-.-ir uames as members ! I Weie the aibscription Hats to a ! i the valuable public Chartist machinery for keeping up thej agitation for , and intimately eccurir-g " full , free , and fiir representation , as defiu-jd by the People ' s Charter , " iimacuLiely swelled out with the contributions c : their ne-w-born allies , that the mutual desire mi ^ ht hi sp eedily accomplished ?
Kot a bit of if . I : osded in Mr . Kettle ' s going down to the Chaitist Room to tell the people i honestly that his speech in the afternoon had been " all gammon ; " that notrithstauJing his hatred of class legislation , aad Iv . i Mjxiety for the principles of the Charter , he had no purpose to have any- other connection with the Chartists than to use them as tools for the carrying of Corn Law Repeal Hear him , as reported by the Plague ' s" organ : — I " Mr . Kettle proceeded to state that he was reluc- j
tantly compelled to harbour such misgivings as to prevent his ferirtiuly joiiiing the National Charter Association , uutil he thould be better satisfied as to Its Executive . He told them that he held in his hand a publication beating the authority ofFoargus O'ComioT , which convinced him that that individual was an enemy to freo irsde , and one by , or with whom , uo Cor . i Law Repealer , desiring to adopt the Charter as a means to an end , coald consent to be led or allied . Mr . Kettle then proceeded to read asd comment on several of the extracts from the

Northern Star , which will be found in our leading article ; and conoluded by declaring that , ; aa he could not consent to attach himself to a party by whose recognised heads the motives and efforts of the free traders were abused , and by whom free trade itself was condejnh&d , ne must receive an unegaivocal asanrance that the Chartists bound themselves to no men ( Feargus O'Connor , or any one else , ) who pursued that course ; but that , on the contrary , they renounced the influence of all such persons , before he ( Mr . Kettle ) would complete the compact at issue . "
Now , whether 13 this fellow a greater knave or fool V Ho professes to seek the Charter as a means to an end ] that end being the repeal of the Corn Laws ; he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws cannot be rapsaled until the peoplo have that "full , free , and fair representation , as defined by the People's Charter , to which they are entitled by thB Constitution ; " he avows his conviction that the Corn Laws produce all the distress ' . of . the country ; that they most be repealed , and that they nevee can bo repealed until the Charter has been got , and yet he refuses to go for tho Charter ,
because "Feakgcs O'Connor , and the Northern Slar , and some other parties , have denounced the " Plague" as insincere in their agitation Could he have furnished better evidence of that insincerity ; at all events as far as ho is concerned ? If the Charter be the only means for Repealing the Corn Laws , and if the Repeal of the Corn Laws j > e the one great thing wanted , what need he care about 3 ny misoheivous influence of O ' Connor and the Northern S ' . ar ! Surely tho wholo League , with its nnghty array of l ! influenco" and talent , and wealth , and its many , very many "best possible
instructors , are more than sufficient to counterbalance any nugatory influenco which might be ex-arcised by one man and one newspaper I Where then is the mighty boggle i The rogues know that they dont mean to go for the Charter at all ; that they mean only , if possible , to " gammon tiie flats , " aad they know that while the influence of Fearuus and the Star continues they can ' t do it ; they will bo too ^ iosely watched ! He nce the organ of this Mr . Kettle , tho " Plague" man—the Staffordshire
Ezamincr ^ —in the very same paper which reports this meeting , occupies feur mortal columns , exactly oneseventh part of his whole paper , with a laboured and most villanousjy Jesuitical justification of the course pursued by Mr . Kettle , designed to quieten the consciences of the moro honest of their followers , and to persuade them that though they voted for the Charter , and introduced it into their memorial to gull the Chartists ; that though they have : —
"Apparently ( the italics are his own ) extended the right hand of political fellowship and bent the knee of political obedience to the disciples and paid agents of the monopoly-supporting Feargus O'Connor—to the approvers of the blood-spilling Frost , Williams , and Jcn ^ , and to the perpetrators of the Tory-fermented disturbances at anti-Corn Law meetings . * * * * * * The rational and consistent Reformers of this borough are no moke Chaktists or less resolute Corn Law Repeaters ihan ever they were . "
Now , then , Chartists I what say you to your new a'Jie 3 ? Did we not tell you that they were " pigs with soaped tails" ? ! Woivcrhampton is not the only instance of this honourable dealing of the new converts to Chartism and " complete Suffrage . " At Huddersfwld , in like manner , they sought to carry with them popular support by uniting the Suffrage with the Corn Law question , in precisely like manner—a 3 a means to an end . Their sincerity hero , 113 at Wolverhamp * ton , appears in its true light when viewed in connection with tho following placard , plentifully distributed on the day of meeting : —
Corn Law Repealers . —Whatever resolutions you adopt this evening , respectiugtho Suffrage , take care that you do not let that question take the . place of Free Trade and Cheap Bread . If you should sink agitation for the Repeal of tho Bread Tax , in agitation for the estenjlou of the Suffrage , that Tax , with all its disastrous consequences , must continue for some years . But if you can honestly and cor ^ dialiy unite for an agitation of the two objects distinct , you are sure to succeed in getting rid of the bread tax in a very short t ; m « . "
However , the Hudderificla " lads met them well and bravely ; their " Completo Suffrage" humbug , with which they hoped to get in the thin end of the wedge , was rightly shivered by Clayton , with his amendment" That it is ih ^ ojiniou of this meeting , that to secure a real , ' fr . 'l , free , and fair representation of tho whole people in the Cammons' House of Parliament , ' the whole of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , > iz : Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , No Property Qualification , Payment of Members , and Electoral Districts , must beccire the lav / of tho laud , the whole of which are requisite and necessary to secure a real aad eflicient representation . "
Tne people e ^ owed thai t his was their opinion by leaving the humbucs with just four hands to clap each other , and keep out the cold for their " Complete Suffrage" move . The thin end of the wedge having been thus disposed of , Clayton again let fall the sledge-hammer of Chartism upon the thick end by moving , as an amendment to Mr . Catsttack ' s motion for a contiauance of the Corn Law agitation , " That tb . 3 agitation for the whole Charter take precedence of all oihi-r agitations . " This floored the hypocrites at once , and left honesty triumphant . So let it be in every place and our cause is safe , and libarty shall shortly greet us with her invigorating smile .
We are'happy to perceive that our counsels have not b- ; ci \ slighted . The . people have , in almost every place , recovered the falso step they made in one or two places , of joining with the trsitorg . Tjio Merihyr Tydvil people , at a full mcetin > r , held on Monday evening , resolved" That- every approach towards an union with the Corn Law Lea&uo must be regarded as a direct step towards a , betrayal of the Chartist cause , and that every public meeting which neglects to affirm the adoption of the People ' s Charter a 3 the only remedy for the distresses of the peoplo must bo considered aa compromising the great right of the working classes to a share in tho Baking oi' the laws . "
| \ ! Thi 3 is the true position for the pecpl 9 ; and the only safe one . Aad thocgh in one or two places the ! English Chartists have suffered thdr national failing of good nature and unsuspeotingnes 3 to betray them half into the toils , the Scotch lads are " wide awake " to it . All glory to the men of Dundee ! The " canny Scots" have done ik . well ! We have seldom been more delighted than we were on reading the report which appears in our present paper of the utter overthrow , discomfiture , and annihilation I of the " corn craiks" by the "bonnie lads" oi
Dundee . They were , indeed , well met ! Every fold of the foul serpent was liid open—every trick foiled ; a more perfect triumph could not have been obtained ; nor do wj ever remember to have seen a display of more wily and well arranged tactics than those of the Anti-corn Law men on this occasion . They first felt their way through tho medium of their friends , the complete suffragists "—they then tried 'the
! ' ' . j j j artful dodge ' of moving resolutions merely de nunciatory of the evils of bad legislation , I without pledging even to any future line of [ conduct , in the hope of getting the blind side I of the meeting by embodying , not the resolutions . i but the spirit of the resolutions , in the memorial—• t he formal voice of the meeting ; which would have enabled them to breathe into those resolutions ! the foul ipirit of patchwork , in the form 1 ~
! . * . -.. ; of an exclusive or unduly prominent prayer for Corn Law Repeal . It was a deep trick , j well played , and cleverly stopped . We fear nothing , ! for the . people with eo much quickness and good i sense about them , as this and the Huddcrsfieid meet- = I ing shew . We defy any set of sophists , or tricksters in the world , now , to " palaver" ihem cut of their watchfulness . They will keep to the right road , and i they will compel all travellers to go with them or . [ stand out of they . way .

" What breast-plate like a heart untaintea ? Thrice he is armed-who hath his quarrel jnsk , And he but naked though lock'd up in steel , Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted . " Brother DEMOCRATS .-r-It is my painful duty to address you upon matters appertaining to myself ; a task to the man of sense always unpleasant , but the more so , when , as in : the present case , duty , not onliy to myself , but to the cause of democracy , demands that I should apeak of others also , who are employed in Sapping the strength of our organization , by calumniating the characters of thOBein whom the people cor ifide , and look up to as their leaders in their stiaggie for right aud justice .
A few remarks upon the proceedings at the late meeting in Paradise-square , are necessary ; at that meeting Messrs . Otley and Gill supported a resolution for universal suffrage and the ballot ; I seconded an amendment for the Charter , whole and entire , which , thanks to the sound principle and sterling honesty of the people was carried by a triumphant majority . By way ef exeusing themselves for the false position they had taken up , Messrs . Otley aind Gill stated that the resolution which they supported had been promised tupporfc by myself and others , and that we afterwards retracted that promise ; that they , Messrs . Otley and Gill being honourable men , valuing their reputation and iheir word , wonld not do the same , hence they supported the resolution . Now hear the facts of the case .
It ia true that on the Tuesday eve preceding the meeting in the Square , a hasty and reluctant assent was gifen by certain members of the council to the said resolution ; but the folly of the step was seen almost as soon as taken , and at a general meeting of the council held next day , it was resolved that the sense of the Association at large should be taken that evening , and that , in the interim , the hasty and ill-advised decision of the previous evening should be annulled . A meeting of members and friends of the Association took place in the evening , at which there could not have been less than five hundred persona present , when , with the exception of threeVot four individuals ., the said resolution was unanimously condemned , and it was resolved that an amendment for the whole Charter should be proposed whenever the meeting ( not then announced ) should take place .
Messrs , Otley and Gill condemn the council for having first promised a certain thing aud then retracting their promise . The doctrine of these gentlemen is , that the council having done a certain thing , no matter whether right or -wrong , the Association is bound to submit ; a doctrine more subversive of the " sovereignty of the peeple , " was certainly never yet broached by Whig Or Tory . Suppose we had a House of Commona elected by Univereal Suffrage , who , in their legislative capacity were guilty of somei erroneous or tyranical act , according to MeBsrs . Otley and Gill they are bound
to submit because they have elected that House of Commons . I think different ; my creed is , thiat the people can never be divested , or divest themsalves of their natural and rightful sovereignty , and that when their representatives fail to do right it is the prerogative of the people to over-rule their decision . Acting upon theso principles , the Council submitted their vote to the Association ; by it that vote was condemned . The course to be pursued was marked out by the Association ; and , in taking the part myself and others did take in the Square , we but obeyed the voice , and carried out the will of the people .
Messrs . Otley aud Gill would fain h , ave had you believe that it was a high sense of honour on tfceir part that compelled them to support the Whig-concocted resolution ; to believe them , they expected help instead of opposition from myself , " and those who acted with roe . Sweet innocents . ' What are the facts of the case ? On Wednesday , the 16 th , ( two days before the meeting , ) by half-past two o ' clock , Mr . Otley had placed in his hands a letter stating that the Council had annulled the vote of the preceding evening , and that the whole matter would be brought before the
Association . In the letter Mr . O . was . requested to summon his Council or Association for that evening , to know the decision , of the Association meeting iu Fig-tree Lana . Here was due notdew given to Mr . Otley tbat the vote of the previous evening had been rescinded by the Council , and that tke Association would probably do the same . What did Mr . Otley do ? Did ' he come to the meeting in Fig-tree Lane , to learn tho sentiments of the people ? No ; but aaneeting was held at the " Political Institute , " and the parties there assembled were ; by Messrs . Otley , Gill , and Co ., pledged to support the humbug resolution .
But I maintain , that independent of the decision of the Association , the council was not bound to abide by its original vote ; that vote was agreed to upon certain conditions , the conditions ware , that the Cora Law Repealers , as a body , should give their support to the resolution ; was those conditions fulfilled ? "NO ! True the resolution was supported by Mr . Palfreyman , ( where ,- ^—aye where is Holberry ?)— by the illustrious Mr . Wardle , by the : patriotic Mr . Harvey , of Chartist Camp ^ meetingnotoriety , who has been " all things by turns and nothing long , " and by certain " go-betweens , " to wit * Mr . "New-move" Allen and Co . But , did Mr .
Ibbetsonand the other " great guns" of the Anti-Corn Law men-.- ' -promise their support of the resolution ? ( Mr . Ibbettson will tell you , you are "too ignorant for the suffrage . ") Did the body of the Corn LawBepealera promise their support ? Did , or will , their organ the Independent , give the resolution its support ? No ' , no ; H » re then the original conditions were not complied with . Messrs . OtJeyand Gill knew this ; what humbug then on their part it was to talk their high-flown stuff about " honour" and " reputation , " when , as their acts testify they were consigning you over to the Whigs , who would deceive and betray yon again , as once too often they have done before .
I have now a few words with Mr . Gill particularly . To believe this gentleman he is the most disinterestad of politicians , and altogether above tho thought of living by agitation , or accepting of anything from the people in return for his very important serviepp . ' I do not'think this gentleman worth any recrimination on my ^ part , or I might show that Mr . Giil ' s services have not been , and are not of that disinterested character he would faiti have ciio ^ pvxbiic believe . Mr . Gill thought proper to denounce me as beingthe paid tool of Feargus O'Connor , on the spot , and before he had time even to turn round , I challenged him to meet me at the close of the businoss for which the meeting had been convened , and there make good , if he could , his insulting calumny , but , where was he when called for ? The bird was flown , like some tcrial sprite ha had vanished ,, " tell it not in Gath , " the valiant denunciator had prudently withdrawn by a back doar . :
My friends , it is quite true , that I am employed by Mr . O'Connor as reporter , or correspondent for the Northern Star , an occupation of whieti I am not at all ashamed , and I maintain I have 21 s much right to' receive payment in return for my services , as any cutler has to receive his wages at the closa of his week ' s "iforq . What spit-of a tool I am to Mr ^ O'Connor , I leave you to judge , when I solemnly assure you that during the six -mon'tas , I have filled the situation , I at present hold , I have not received a single letter , or solitary line of a letter from Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Gill has boasted , in his private coteries , of what he could do—and . what he would do ; that he could make me a pill I would not swallow , &c . &c I now tell him that my publie and private character will both dare and bear comparison with his . . I repeat my challenge , if he has any charges to prefer against me , let him meet me in Fiira ' disc Square , and there , before the great body of the peeple will I confront him .
Mr . Otley , too , tas ma'Io " more free than welcome " with my name ; but , wiser in his generation than his fiiend Mr . GUI , he has confined hiB slanderous statements to his own shap . I know that he has repeatedly slandered me as being , or having been "in the pay of the Tories . " At List I have the means of naming time and place . In his own shop , an Tuesday , the 16 th of February , he there stated , in thu presence of the under-named persons , "That Harney , and othar Chartist leader ? , were , or had been , in the pay of the Tories ; that he strongly suspected O'Connor was in their pay , and always had suspected it since he wrote bis letters to the Irish'Landlords . " The parsons who will testify to the foregoing , are Messr ? . Clarkson and Fry , of SheflSeld , an Mr . Wm . Jones , the North-Riding Lecturer . I shall be very brief with Mr . Otley ; I defy him to prove the truth of his dirty calumny .
Lat me whisper a word of cautiou to Mr . Otley . If his contemptibie coy— " in the pay of the Tories'Vis continued to be raised against henest men , it may be that the . parties raising that cry ^ will Viemselves be suspected by Uie people , of being in the pay of the Whigs ! Brother Democrats , why am I slandered as being " ia the pay of the Tories ? " Because I will not do the flirty wort of the Whig ? . Why am I deaounced aa being the paid tool of Feargiw ^ O'Conhor ?¦ ' Because I "will not ^ bs vhe " tool" of M » humbugs who would

To conclude , never in the annals of our movement stood Chartiamin Uie proud position . it now'occupies ; but beware / lest this seeming hour of our triumph should be the hour of our fall . The middle class are becoming converts to our principles . Good * But , see that they become real , not sham converts . ' If they suppose to go with you for one jot less than the whole Gharter , have nothing to do with them . If they swallow the whole Charter , but make it a ' secondary object to the Com Law Repeal , have nothing to do with them . If joining you for the Charter , they tell yon it ia
necessary "' to get rid of your present leaders , " have nothing to do with them . If they are honest they will join you for the whole Charter—they will consent to make it the one object of agitation , as a means to an end—and , lastly , they will be content to fight under those who have been elected the leaders of the people . The middle class are powerless without us . The question then is , shall we put forth our giant strength merely to serve the interests of a class , or to wrest by one God-like effort the " rights of man , " from those whose empire is built on tho »• wrongs of man .

Meaof the working class , your delivery is in your own bands—the freedom or slavery of millions yet unborn hangs upon your breath .
