ifieeiiug , after such mettings had been declared unlawful by a proclamation Jrom the Lord Xientenant . Repeal has not yet attained the commanding position It occupied in those years .

The light rays of the sun of libertj illuminating the borders of our dormant scene , proclaims the night is far spent , and the day is at hand I
The political world is like a giant arising from a deep slumber , alive to . the galling pinch of oppression ! Men and women of Hyde ! awake ! and shew to the world that Chartism is neither dead nor sleeping 2 Come forward , in the majesty of your moral strength , and let your oppressors see that you are determined to make your country ' great , glorious , and free' !

'—Baron Roffe , February 1840 . Signed by order of the Chartists of Hyde , J . M . Leach . " The Whigs were terribly alannei when the placards appeared . The League began to Quake , and the shopocrats were astonished to see Mr . Leach make his appear ance ; because Leach has been buried since the Strike . The triumph" in the Queen ' s Bench however brought forth bis lesnrrection ! The cotton masters -went thronsb their mills , admonishing jtheii slaves to refrain
from such meetings , or else forfeit their employment . One lord swore he would LEAV 32 them 1 and go to Frana ! . ' !
