( Ahridgedfrom the Staffordshire Gazette . J Tim meeting appeared to excite almost universal interest in the Potteries , and the ChartistB were determined to moTe amendments to the resolutions proposed bT the repealers . Accordingly they placarded the town pretty freely with bills , calling spon all working mea to attend and witness the death ^ rasp of the Whigs , who had been in a dyiDg state for the last six weeks ; another and smaller bill was also pretty generally circulated , headed "The last kick of the Whigs . " In this little bill ttaay plain matters of fact were bronght forward , and it concluded by assuring the working classes , that the only object of the Whigs was to reduce wages by repealing the Corn Laws , and thus
supplied them with the strongest motives to rally and defeat the faction . The Whigs being aware they should haTe a powerful opposition to encounter , had recourse to their usual and characteristic thongh dishonourable course of maccBUTering . Bands of Basic , paper mottoes , calico flags , & . S ., were provided in abundance , but by whom ! One report is , that a itrennons advocate of liberalism ( whose professions are being appreciated as they ought to be ) actually deducted from the hard earnings of his workmen , » omen , and children , the various amounts of fd ,, 4 i , and 2 d ., for the purpose of gratifying his own pride and securing a triumph for his par ; y . Another report is , that the workmen in the " employ of a near relative of the aforesaid illustrious ** liberal , " were compelled to paint and letter these calicos , or a fenUe hiat was given that their services would be no wager required . In addition to this "respectable " fceanness and tyranny , th » miserable party knew
it was a matter of doubt , or rather of fact , that if ttsy did sot by coercive- means compel their dependents to attend , the much talked of demonstration would turn out a miserable failure . In order , therefore , to secure a large attendance , the workmen in fte several employs of Messrs . John Ridgvay and Co ., tie monopolists , W . Bidgway , Messr 3 . Green tod Richards , Messrs . Mason , Wedgweod , andotaer fi&Talmanufacturers , received notice , that , in order to gratify the passions of their employers , to shout and cheer when bidden—they must lose aday ' s work , « nd join in procession to support them , or seek for other masters . Accordingly , these several very * liberal" masters brought up their dependent , tkonghnnwilling slaves , to . enable them to carry their sieasures . The Chartists were alive to all this , and Bade the best use of their time ; one or two delerues were sent for from a distance , and at length tie Hinch wished for day of battJe arrived .
The meeting was fixed to be held in | the Marketplace , Hanley , and thither wended all those Dot in &e secret of the Whig scheme . The ChartistB , * o ; hing daunted , were at the spot early with a * aggon , exhibiting a placard on which was written "Hypocritical Lord Jack Bigway's 10 per cent . Cora Repeal . " We now detail the manoeuvre adopted by the liberal Repealer ? . Aware , as we before said , ioat the Chartists had mustered pretty strong to PPese them , they , for the purpose of throwing the « mer off their guard , actually had places dug in which to entrench the wheels of the waggon for the ¦ Peakers , and sent up a party of their followers with
» wo nags , whilst they themEelves formed on % vacant * pot called the Crown Bank . The Chartists , how-JJer , soon became aware of this , and immediately got " » order to proceed to the field of action , not shirking * nd running away , xrtheir opponents had done . A * & » ber of men dragged the waggon all the way ; " 8 other party thinking then friends moved away , J * d the Chartists came alongside the repealers in "wnpa , much to their dismay . At this time there w upwards of 7000 persons present , including wo-* en and ' . children . The calico and paper banners were distributed in profusion . After some inter'option , R . IL Hsathcotr , Esq ., proposed , amidst great ^ MKrar , that the Chief Bailiff take the chair . f ir . Ahkgdoh seconded the resolution
. * fc Baibstow proposed that Mr . Mart take the Tbe proposition was seconded , when * " •• Hkathcotb said he appealed to the meeting J ^ e tber they would allow strangers to interfere , * M interrupt the meeting . tCries of " No , no , " allowed fey Chartist cheers , hisses , and groans , and general uproar . ) « e Chief Baixiff took the Chair , and the up-* wr increasing , the reauisition calling the meeting f ^ s / ead by him ia a " loud tone , but scarcely a J ^ ra could be heard . He proceeded to say , that Sp otier snbjcc ; s but those could be diecassed by * e meeting , and those only by inhabitants of tho

Borough , . { Dis * pprob * tion ud uproar . ) He imped , as * t&Toor to himself , they would grant every speaker a fair hearing , and « nde »? our to nfeserre order and good temper during the proceedings of the day . By the Chartists—Will any person be * ll » wed to speak against the resolutions proposed ! Chief Bailiff—All who are inhabitants of the Borough of Stoke-upon-Trent , none other —( considerable uproar , and cries of You are afraid of hearing the Chartists . ") . ' Mi . John Ridgwat came forward with great pomp , and informed the Chartists that if they oontinaed their interruptions there would be » great peril , as they ( the Repealers ) would compel the people to drive away their concern , and them with it- ( Renewed uproar , followed by derisive laughter from the . Chartists . )
A gentleman on the platform ordered the mob " to drive at them . " The Chartists contended for their Chairman , when The Chikp Bailiff said he had before distinctl y stated that nose but inhabitants of the borough would be allowed to address the meeting . ( Cries of " Yoa are afraid , " &c . ) It was a borough meeting , and it had been called by the inhabitants of the borough , and tor what reason strangers should interfere he could not tell . ( This -was the signal for renewed tumult , the Chartists groaning and shouting and the opposition cheering . ) Mr . J . Rtchakds said the Corn Law was a national question , and they had as much right to speak as their opponents . ( Cheers and hisses . )
The Chief Bailiff , in conjunction with several gentlemen , then shouted out at the top of their voices , "You cannot be allowed to speak—( groans)—we cannot hear you / ' ( Renewed groaning , which continued for some time . ) R . £ . Hxatzcote , Esq . then came forward , and amidst continual interruptions , groans , hisses , and signs of disapprobation , delivered himself of a short speech , at the close of which he moved— " That this meeting regards all nations of the earth as forming one great family , and all amply provided for by a I bountiful Providence , and believe that a free interchange of their respective productions would promote the prosperity and secure the comfort and happiness of all" ( Uproar . ) Mr . Abingdon—Hold up both hands , lads . F . Wjjdcwoop , Esq ., briefly seconded the resoi lution .
The Chief Bailiff then came forward and commenced reading "the resolution amidst the most discordant sounds , which rendered it inaudible ; the uproar seemed to increase from an evident increase of the Chartist body , who had got in front of the waggon . The- Chartists exhibited a paper , " The Chartists' amendment . " Richards began to speak , when some person on the hustings , in the garb of a gentleman , cried out " Newgate , " " Billingsgate . " Richards said if he understood the resolution , it was condemnatory of the Corn Laws . ( Cries from the liberal waggon , " no hair on bis head . ") Mr . Heathcote thinks a repeal of the Corn Laws will
save the people . I do not think so ( cries of shame , followed by Chartist cheers and Liberal groans . ) 1 have a right to think . ( You are paid for it . ) [ The poor old man , it appeared , had a defect in his limbs , which the very liberal gentleman noticed by telling him to " walk like another man . " ] Richards resumed—asking if the men in power would ever have thought of a repeal © f the Corn Law if it had not been to keep themselves m office . ( Cried of no , no . ) They would not repeal Corn Laws , or any other , for the benefit of the working men , if it did not suit their purpose , except at the point of the bayonet . ( Uproar . ) He detested the Corn Laws , but there was the money laws .
Chief Bailif ? at tne instigation of several of his friends who were much disturbed at the idea of a Chartist daring to interrupt their proceedings , and who loudly exclaimed against it , among whom , none more vehemently than Mr . Abingdon , called upon Mr . Richards to keep to the question . ( Great uproar , hootings , cheering , and groaning ) Richards continued his remarks , wheu the Chief Bailiff received a hint from his back friends to call on the meeting to support him ; he did bo , but alas ! he called , but they would not hear , and he was obliged to submit . Bjchabds proceeded . Chief Bailiff—Question , question , ( uproar ) , during which the placard which we have before referred to , seeded very muoh to annoy
John Ridgwat , Esq ., who with burning face , addressed the Chief Bailiff , wishing to know if that abominable thing was to stand there . Chiu Bailiff—Take it down ! The Charasts did not acknowledge his authority for such an order , and refased to obey it , when a rash was made at the instigation of some party on the waggon to seize it . The Chartists had their force concentrated and repelled the approaching party . Johh Ridgwat , Esq ., then suffering all the pains of mortification , and finding hi * popularity quite gone even in his own town , mounted the taile , and here his pride was doomed to a still more severe mortification , for the mass were more uproarious than ever , and continued so during the time Mr . Ridgway was ele > ated . He said , as near as we could catch , " Allow me to say a word in answer to that villanons placard" ( renewed uproar , " my answer , " continued hooting . )
Mabt , the Chartist Chairman , protested against Mr . Ridgway speaking till Mr . Richards had done . ( Cheers and « roaus . ) Joh . n Ridgwat , Esq ., again attempted to proceed , saying , " 1 will pledge myself to satisfy you that that viiianous handbill ia just in character with its author . " ( Hooting and ckears . ) Mast { addressing John Ridgway , Esq . )—It is disgraceful in you . ( Cheers and groaus . ) John , you 've lost your dignity ! ( Laughter , hooting , and cheers . ) Richards ( to J . Ridgway)—It is a fact ; it is your own act and deed . Johs Ridgwat , Esq . —It ' s false ; it ' s false . ( Hooting . ) Chief Bailiff ( to Mr . Richards)—I have to request that yoa will go on ; but you must keep to the point . \ . Uproar . ) Ma : rt—Mx . Heatheote , I want order .
Joh . n Ridgway , Esq . —Don ' t be disorderly then ( another general rush was made to get to the Chartist waggon to overturn it . ) R . E . Heathcotk , Esq ., said he should like to know what his friends at Coventry would have said to the interruption . If the men had oommon sense they would move them away . Richab-ds was proceeding about the money laws when the Cmu Bailiff interrupted him , by calling the speaker to the question , and telling him that the money laws had nothing to do with it ( which announcement , by the bye , shewed how well he was acquainted with the subject ;) but he waa fortunately put right on that head by J . A . Wtse , Esq ., who said " Oh ! yes they have ; don ' t say that . " RichaBds would give them all sincerity for their sympathy to the poor , but where was it last ilartinmas ! ( Cheers and hooting . )
Chjsf Bailiff—That has nothing to do with it . ( Hooting and hissing . ) R . E . Heathcoib , Esq . —When I come again , 111 come with my black tmil on , and shall then be able to get oier Mr . Copelaud ' s bludgeon men . The Chief Bailiff , very anxious , no doubt , that further exposes Ehould not coiae forth , still kept cryisg out at ihe top of his voice , " Touch on the question of the Corn Laws /' Richards protested he would support the Charter till his dying day do which a " Liberal" gentleman
replied , " take off the 30 ~ . a week , then you won ' t ; you'll have a new coat for this , old chap . ") Richards then attempted to prove the right jof the people to the Charter , in which he was loudly cheered , which were met by the other party with groans and hootings . He said he supposed the chairman would call him to order if he gave the anti-Corn Law League a bit of a wipe—they richly deserved it . ( Tremendous cheering and hooting . ) He then charged them with incarcerating the Chartists . ( Cheers and uproar . )
Thomas Cafpek , of Tunstall , then came forward to second the amendment moved by Richards . Mabx then , previous to reading the . amendment , prefaced it with some remarks , which were inaudible but to a very few . The Chief Bailiff called in vain to the meetiDg to stop Mr . Mart . Mr . Dcttos : Push on ; you'll have them down just now . Mart proceeded , declaring the cry for a repeal of the Corn Laws was all humbug , to keep place ; why did they not try to repeal them when they had a majority-of 150 in the House of Commons ! [ During this speech various small talk took place between the mighty fallen and the speaker , the latter declaring the former had blown his nose at him , which compliment he very politely returned . J He was told that
Mr . John-Ridgway was a sincere friend to the working classes , and a minister of the gospel ; and yet he had stopped 4 d . and 6 d . from the hard earnings of his working men to make paper flags . ( Great uproar . ) Chief Bailifp would not allow that ; he would appeal to the meeting whether they would support him ! ( Answered by nooting and eheenng . ) Mast called on them to place no confidence in men who professed to be their friends , Dut who were their worst enemies . He then read the following amendment : — " That while it is the opinion of this meeting that the tax on corn is unjust and iniquitous , yet it considers that a repeal of them would not permanently benefit the working classes ; further , that this meeting is of opinion that the only panacea for the cure of the existing evils is the People ' s Charter . "
After a great deal of elamour , the Chief Bailiff put the amendment , when a show of hands was held up , and then came the resolution itself ; and in order that the dupes might not mistake which way they must ^ put tneir hands up , the Chief Bailiff very impartially ret them the example by holding up both his . He declared the resolution carried , and go did

the Chartists their amendment , and it was difficult to Bay which bad it . : J . A . Wtsk , Esq . then eameforward to move the next resolution . The resolation was to the following effect : — That taxes ought not io be imposed bnt with a due regard to the ability of the classes burdened by them ; that an impost upon the bread of the people was a violation of just principle , because it taxed the poor more heavily than the rich , inasmuch as bread formed the larger portion of the poor man ' s iiailj food . " The resolution was seconded by a man named Hdxlbt , from TunstaH , we believe ; who being a teetotaller , began to preach up his abstinence doctrines , much to the annoyance of the vast majority present , although the very impartial Chairman never called him to the qnestion . After rambling upon almost ev « ry topic agitated , the man was fairly clamoured down , when a man named Robinson presented himself on the Chartist side , to move an amendment .
Chief Bailiff—Are yon an inhabitant of Stoke 1 Robinson—I am , store ' s the pity . He then read his amendment , amidst continued hooting , yelling , and counter cheers . The Liberals were proceeding towards the Chartist waggon with their punted calicos , when the Chartists made a rush , and would have carried away their colours , if the party had not moved off . A couple of stones were hurled from the Liberal camp , which were speedily replied to from the opposition benches ; the parties on the outside of the meeting
commenced running in all directions . Robinssn continued saying , they had been o penly robbed by one party , but secretly and unmanly by the Whigs , who continued professing friendship towards them , yet had brought them and their families to a state of starvation . ( Chartist cheers . ) It might be said he was not keeping to the point ; he contended he was , for the Charter was the point , and the question of all questions wap the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheering and confusion . ) The Chief Bailiff then read again the requisition , amidst great tumult .
Robinson—The Whigs had imprisoned 460 of their fellow-workmen . Chief Bailiff—Question , question . ( Uproar . ) A Man—I hare as much right here as Mr . Ridgway . John Ridswat , Esq . —Oh ! yoa are a very ungrateful fellow . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Robinson—The Ministers told them now they could not remain in office any longer , that they would repeal the Corn Laws—could they believe them 1 , f
( Cries of "No , and great cheering . ) He would appeal to that meeting—Could they put confidence in those individuals ! Those gentlemen on the platform might have very patriotio views , but they had allowed them to go almost to the grave from starvation before they stepped forward . ( Cheers and counter cheers . ) [ Another stone was thrown from the Whig ranks—Robinson asked if that was Chartism 1 } He would rather die the death of starvation than abandon his principles like the Whigs had done . ( Cheers . ) i i ¦ 1 ¦ 1 t l
Makt to J . Ridgway , Esq . — " Who stopt the workpeople ' s wages to make paper flags ) 1 " ( Cries of shame and uproar . ) Robinson—Who was it but the Whigs who made Bristol and Nottingham rise in flames , and goaded every man to desperation 1 He then proceeded to decry as a clap-trap , the cry of the Whigs for a repeal of the Corn Laws . ( This created considerable tumult ; the Chief Bailiff desired him to stick to the point ; this made the confusion more confounded . ) Robinson proceeded to call all the men brought up by their masters " fanatical slaves . " The Whigs had a proof that the numerical strength of the Chartists exceeded that of the Whigs with all their coercion . ( Cheers and groans . ) He begged of the working men to be no longer duped , reminding them that one man there had deducted from their wages for paper flags . ' I ^ ' " 6 Q
John Ridgwat , Esq ., with great warmth , " that s false . " ( Cheers and hooting . ) Robinsox—Another compels you to take houses from him , and pay rent for them , although you cannot live in them , because they have no roofs , or else leave his employ . ( Loud cheers and disapprobation . ) These were the vaunted Whig sympathies for the poor—would they believe them ? ( No , no , and uproar . ) [ Another stone was hurled at the Chartists . J Fanatical slaves ! ( resumed Robinsou , ) will you hurl a stone at a man who is telling your tyrannical masters that which you have not courage to tell them yourselves ! John Ridgwat , Esq . —YeB , they have . ( Great uproar . ) Robinsok continued his address , and was loudly cheered by the Chartists , and hooted by his opponents . 8 13 l " * it e ' , ' y ,.
The Chief Bailiff—I cannot stop him . He then put the resolution , at the same time taking particular care in this , as in the following cases , to put up both bis hands . The Chartists , finding their speaker stopped , now began in right earnest , and were determined that not one syllable more should be heard . The Chief Bailiff , of course , declared the resolution carried . The noise and uproar increased more and more ; and it appeared the Chartists only had oontroul over the vast multitude . in kr j , ) t , j . ie it le
Mr . C . Mason was very desirous of stilling Robinson , and very blusteringly and majestically marched to the front of the platform , and uncovering himself very gracefully , bowed to the assemblage , which was acknowledged by three groans and tremendous upr , which quite tired that gentleman ' s patience , and a . 1 > lf 13 p . 1 C |

after noving the next resolution , retired behind , amid the hooting and yella of the people . ( Two pieoea of bread , said to . be the allowance for man and woman in the poor-homes , were exhibited , and excited the Chartists much more . ) A Mr . Ashpord seconded the resolation which was pnt by the Chief Bailiff , and decidedly negatived by the Chartists , although declared carried . Mr . Abingdon then mounted the rostrum to move the fourth resolation , and said , Oh ! poor depraved men , poor deluded creatures ! here he was obliged to end his soliloquy , and nominally move the fourth resolution . Mr . Walteb Simpson seconded it . The Chief Bailiff pat it , to the meeting ; the noes again preponderated , yet it was said to be ¦¦¦¦
carriea . .... . . ¦•¦ . Mart protested against any petition going from that meeting ; and the Committee , fearing lest it should be lost , one of them whispered in the ear of another , " I would not hazard the petition a second time ; it has been carried five to one ; Mr . Ridgway proposed it with the last resolution . Mr . Ridgway denied this , and a regular smuggling of the petition took place ; it was immediately put out of sight , and the very same resolution moved , seconded , and deolared carried last , was actually re-proposed , seconded , and deolared to be carried again . No doubt Mr . Green was perfectly right in proposing the petition , but the supporters were alarmed for its safety , and therefore juggled it in the way we have desoribed , although we are well aware it will come forth as a petition adopted by the public meeting . vVe feel it necessary to make this expost , so that when the statement" is made that we anticipate , the publio may know how to appreciate its value . We were close to the speakers , and when we heard the dispute about the petition we took particular notice of the whole transaction , so that we oan stake oar reputation on the fact . Mr . Elijah Jones seooned the resolution , which the Chief Bailiff declared carried . We again assert the petition was never submitted to the meeting . John Ridgwat , Esq . came forward again , and begged to propose the cordial thanks of the meeting to his nephew , the Chief Bailiff , for his able and impartial condnot in the ch&ir . Mr . Abingdon seconded the resolution , and when put , it was decidedly negatived by the opponents of the Whigs : so ended , at half-past four o ' clock , so fax as the Whigs were concerned , one of the most stormy meetings we ever remembered to have seen , The Whigs were completely rooted , notwithstanding all their manoeuvring and trickery . Mr . Baibstow remained and addressed the meeting for a considerable time , without any interruption , p lainly proving that three-fourths of the mas would have hooted down the Whigs , had it not been for fear of displeasing their employers , and consequently losing their employment .

Carlisle . —It ie said that a Tory candidate will be brought forward at the next election , in opposition to the present Whig Members , If so , the Chartists ought to bring forward a good man ; and , if the Whigs will not give way , and allow one Chartist to be returned , they should split with the Tories . We believe a great majority of the old freemen will vote for a Tory and a Chartist . Martlebonk . —The St . Panoras Chartists held a meeting , on Monday evening , at the Goat and Boots , Brooke-street , New Road , Mr . Herries in the chair . Mr . H . B . Marley , the Secretary , read aa address from Mr . Villiers Sankey ; and it was unanimously resolved , that a requisition be got up , to be signed
by the electors of the Borough , respectfully requesting him to become a candidate at the next election , for the representation of Maryleboue . It is anticipated that the requisition , within one week , will have 600 signatures , when it will be presented to him . The Association continues , week after week ' increasing , and the work goes nobly on . Hurrah ! for Villiers Sankey , Esq ., for Marylebone ! Ipswich . —Mr . John Goodwya Barmby , the Chartist poet and lecturer , a member of the late Petition Convention , is about to be called into the field for this Borough ; and , if we are rightly informed , will contest it stoutly , and with no mean hope of suooess . Bravo , Chartists ! Keep the pool stirring , and make the factions look out for the breakers a-head .
West Biding of Yobkshire . —All is here active bustle and preparation . The Whigs have joked together Morpeth and the familiar name of Milton as the pillars of their streugth . The Tories have again started the oft-beaten John Stuart Wortley , and , with him , Mr . Beckett Denison . The Chartists , anxious to do nothing rashly , have taken more time to think about it—one or more candidates they will have , undoubtedly , but we are not yet able to announce them . A meeting of delegates was to be holden , on Sunday , ( to-morrow ) to compare notes , and to fix upon the men ; but our paper was at press before the result could be known . Before our next number appears , the men will appear , and the brightening face of Chartism will bo exhibited in a new aspect throughout the Riding .

*• Hear me for my oause . "— Brutus . Being accustomed to find Chartists in the country , like Freemasons , ready to extend the right-hand of fellowship to every Chartist , especially if a visitor , I naturally expected , though I confess myself one of the least of the Chartists , and scarcely worthy of thenam « , to experience the same brotherly respect in town . It was not , therefore , without some surprise that , on coming up to London , I found , not merly a lack of that oommon courtesy and hospitality which every Chartist , who comes in the name of a Chartist , receives in this country , but an
absolute degree of jealousy and opposition . The topics most dear to as all , met with no congenial reception ; but rather roused doubtful and angry disputation . I could not divine the reason of this at first ; but subsequent events have sufficiently explained it . They whom , in the country , I had regarded as the leading Chartists of London , were of the old school of Radicals , Cobbettites , who look upon young Chartists aa upstarts . As Falstaffsays , " They hate us youth . " We were born out of due time , but am much mistaken if we do not convince them , that all old fashioned prejudices are passing away , and that all things are becoming new . Yes , England like an old eagle is now soaring to the sun of
knowledge to renew its youth . When , in my Bimple desire to serve the oause , I offered the drama of John Frost for publication . — " Oh , " said one , "go to another , "—and that other said— "go back to the other . " I was thus to be bandied about like a shuttlecock ; but I no sooner saw this , than I resolved to publish the play myself . Then , eaid one , let me sell for you . I let himnave a few copies ; but found that his intent was to shelve the work , and so I was compelled to be my own bookseller , as well as publisher and author . This put me and the purchasers to great inconvenience ; but what could an individual , a stranger and an exile , do in such a case with sueh a combination of
swampers ? This unexpected treatment—may I not add undeserved also!—for I am not conscious of having done anything as a Chartist to merit it from Chartists—occasioned me to do what I had never thought of before , to take a house and shop , and render myself independentof such insults . 1 the more readily adopted this determination , as I was requested to do so by several of the honest working men of London , who are not identified with the trading clique , nor under their leadership ; but who think for themselves , and have good men and true , such as the indefatigable Wall , to act for them . There is a spurious Chartism in London—begot between the Whigs and certain Chartists—a mongrel
breed , who deeming themselves somebody , attempted with thair tail , to draw away a third part of the stars of our heaven ; but they found to their cost , that London has it its genuine Chartists as well as thecountry . Theseeaakeainthegrassnowlikeworms , seek to wriggle themselves into favour again ; for they find that the poor man ' s penny is as good metal as the rich man ' s , although they feel more flattered when their itching palms , " are kissed by the latter coin . The grubs being killed by a little Chartist quick-lime , our tree of liberty will flourish like a Roman laurel of victory or myrtle of peace . Now , I invite the advice-and co-operation of all
true Chartists , to assist me in rendering the depot I have opened useful aud available to the people and rheir oause . Without them I can do nothing—with them everything . I have not scrupled to takeupon me the station of a servant of the people , for such service ib perfect freedom . I serve the only sovereign I acknowledge—the sovereign people!—to them alone do I ewear fealty , render homage , and only for them do 1 teul the loyalty of a subject . Born the heir of class distinctions , I nevertheless cast off all tiawon privileges and flung myself into the ranks to fight my way up with the people . I will not wear auy honours but theirs , and this , I consider , true nobility .
I seek to supply a desideratum . I am no trader in patriotism ( the vilest of all trading ) but adealer in genuine Chartism , whether of town or country extraction . No books but Chartist ones—none of your Joe Miller ' s Jest books , those crackling thorns under the pot—aye , some of our Chartists boil their pots by the sale of such stuff—I am and always have been aud ever will be a serious Chartist—a stern enthusiast in the cause . I am no turneoat , nor turnpenny—I would not sow tares with the seed
though I were paid double for it— " exclusive dealing" is my motto—Chartism exclusive of Whiggism , Toryism , knavism or foolism . Why , I have just written a life of my friend Chambers , the marine artist , and made a Chartist book of it . All my ambition is to be a good Chartist , and could I succeed in establishing a Chartist depot for the publication of a weekly original tract and monthly magazine , I should attain the ne plus ultra of my utmost hopes *
What say you , people I—will you have a shop of your own 1 Come , then , let us lay our heads together—I ttustqur hearts are already united—let us join hands and form a Chartiat elub . We will see what we can do . I have engaged a brother of Vincent to assist me—and a fine little fellow he isa fierce physical force Chartist , as all young Chartists are , and are all the better for it ; for they make the best moral force men ; Chartists , now for the cause ! I am , Though a " banished man , " Your devoted friend And dedicated servant , John Wazkins . London , No . f 9 , Bell-yard . Fleet-street . ' ' ' '

M'Leod had at length been removed from Loikport to Netr York , by a writ of habeas corpus , and was on the 6 th ult . brought before the Supreme Court of that city . The question of his detention , however , having now assumed an international character , the hearing of his case was deferred till the following week . It is universally believed that he will be discharged from custody . It would appear , from oertain statements in th « New York papers , that the boundary question offered
fewer difficulties towards its adjustment now than heretofore , it being stated that a convention had been agreed on between Great Britain and th « United States , appointing six commissioners to arbitrate the matter , with the power , hi case ol ' uonagreemeat , to appoint three more ; the decision of a majority of the whole number to be fiaal . No intelligence having been received of the President steamer in New York at the time of the sailing of the RoECoe , which brings the latest intelligence to the 11 th ult ., all hope of her safety had bees abandoned there .

ELECTION OF THE EXECUTIVE .
Untitled Article
TO THB CHARTIST ELECTORS , AND OVERTAXED WORKMEN OF GREAT BRITAIN . Friends and Brother chartists , —An election will take place ia a tew weeks . Ate you prepared and preparing for the struggle ? The Chartiat electors of many places have proposed starting Chartist candidates , and since we have determined to destroy the Whigs , it is of the first importance , not only to start , but at all hacards to return your good men and true to Parliament Why ? Because , if the Whigs should have a majority , your representatives , or , more properly speaking , candidates , ought to be in the House to upset thtm on all great party divisions , and , if the Tories muster strong , there is even a more powerful reason for the presence of trustworthy men , for you may rely upon it , that the Tories , if strong , will ( if Ireland does not prave too troublesome ) not let your complaints be beard except in tbe House . The great principle of action with us should be , to possess the balance of pewer without , and to hold the scales within . I know of no subject more deserving of your consideration , or more worthv of vonr exertlnnt
There is another thing which appears to me necessary to be mentioned at this time . It will be much more consistent for us to vote for , and support , such Tories as the benevolent and vety highly gifted Oastler , a declared Tory , but still a consistent advocate of the rights of labour , than send into Parliament a furious enemy of democracy , or a rabid Peelite . Sir Gfeorgo Sinclair , too , is most deserving of support , not only on account of his supporting the poor man ' s rights , but likewise because he voted with Duncombe . O Connor is right -with regard to Peel . He ia wily , and his followe rs are to be feared , as much as bis policy Is constructive treason against the labouring classes of thia country , notwithstanding all his Bibles and tracts in the library of Tam worth . It ia clear that we can expect nothing frem the Whigs . They must be destroyed before they can be reclaimed , and the Tories must be lulled asleep before they are exterminated . A blow for one , a smile for the other , and the labourers walk over the bodiea of both factions to the possession of that political power without which we shall be the prey of the one and the dupes of tbe other . Northampton has promised to return me , and there are whispers of splitting votes with the Chartists . Do you , my only friends and supporters , desire it ? If you do not , then I can be just as useful as ever . If you do , then you must support the men of Northampton with money to defray the hustings' expences .

Pitkethly withdrew from the General Committee , Mr . Cleav » was appointed treasurer , and Messrs . Cullen , Barmby , and M'Douall a finance committee . That committee , afterwards , when Mr . Cullen left for Glasgow , anil Mr . Barmby for the country , consisted of Messrs . Smart and M'Douall ; and therefore we consider it our duty to give an account of the receipts and expenditure ot the Finance Committee of the Convention in both instances . We have to remark that Mr . OComnor handed over to us every penny he had received , even the interest upon the money which ia in his hands , and to this point we particularly direct the attention of h » friends and his foe * .

In the meantime , we propose to pay the Doorkeeper , and soiu * minor expences , out of the balance , reserving the overplus , until we discover whether or not a full settlement will be made by the country to the various Delegates .
We likewise propose that the various Delegates am receive the deficiency in the following manner : —Th » London Delegates to draw their balance from Mr . Cleave , and th * country Delegates from the Star-office . Leaving the above matter confidently in 70— - hands , We remain , Your devoted friends in tbe cause , T . R . Smart . P . M . M'Douall .
