HUMAN LIFE . PROBABLY no theory can come more welcome -L to the human , mind than the one whioh establishes , on good grounds , a hope for prolonged existence ; for , notwithstanding the trials , vexations , and difficulties incident to this life , the love ef life increases with our years ; it is one of the innate principles of « ur nature , and cannot be explained away by any of the subtleties of the sophist , nor overcome by any amused dignity derived from a false philosophy . There are many of these inextinguish able principles in ou » nature—our love of freedomlove of country—love « f borne , and many others , but the love of life predominates .

Stockton . —The ** lads" are all alive h ? re . Lord Harry Yane paid his respects to the good folks of this place on the Wednesday in last week , as candidate for the Southrrn Division of the County of Durham . The nobic candidate amused the men for some time , and was heartily laughed at . Some questions put to him by Mr . Maw , touching his snppo « of Universal Suffrage , seemed to produce a ahomical effect upon bis physical constitution , and , with various personal contortions ., he housed himself in the Black Lion , from the window of which he had been speaking , as speedily as possible ; after which the people retired to the Hall of Science , where they jren addressed by Mr . Maw , in an excellent and p ^ motie speech . Cheers vrero given for the Welsh martyrs , for Feargus O'Connor , and all the other Ticimis .
Stocxpobt . —Candidates fob the Bosocgh . —In oempliance with a requisition of the inhabitants of Stockpori , calling upon Mr . Bairstow to come forward as a candidate at the coming election for the representation of this important boroogh in the Commons' House of Parliament , npon Chartist principles , be arrived on Tuesday week , ior the purpose of personally explaining his views . On Wednesday , a nnmerous meeting was convened at the large room , Bomber ' s Brow , Hillgate , and Hi . Bairstow addressed the people at great length , shewing how they had hkherto been deceived bj both Whig and Tory . At the conclusion , a resolution was carried unanimously , " That Mr . Bairstow and Mr . George Julian Harney are fit and proper
persons to represent this boroagh in the Commons House of Parliament , and tbatthey deserve the rapport of all friends to the inteNkts of the working classes . " Up to this time various reports were in circulation as to what step the Chartists wonld take at the coming election , consequently , the announcement of two mare candidates being brought into the field created excitement amongst both toe factions , as both parties had been canvassing for many weeks . On Thursday Mr . Bairstow ' s committee issued a splendid placard convening a meeting in the Marketplace , that evening , to give an opportunity to Mr . Bairstcw to explain his views , and likewise to giTe tee electors and non-electors a chsneo of hearing cpon what principles he claimed their support . The
meeting was called for eight o clock , but Jong before that time people were seen coming in all directions to the place of reeling . At eight o ' clock the numbers were estimated to be from ten to twelve thousand . It is our firm conviction that there ooald not have been less than the latter calculation . A message was sent to the committee to inform them that the people had assembled DtimeroTi 3 ly , and that it was time to commence business . Accordingly , Mr . Bairstow , . accompanied by two others , repaired to the meeting . Mr . Joseph Carter was called to the chair , who observed that there was their old and weli-tried friend Mitchell , present , who wodld first address them : after whieh Mr . Nathan Biirstow , the ever
ready and faithful advocate of the rights of the hitherto enslaved millions , would address them . ( Loud cheers . ) He would , therefore , not take up any of their time by auy remarks of hi 3 own ; bin would at once inirodace to their notice the unflinching advocate of the People ' s Charter , James Mitchell , late member of the College , at Chester . Mr . Mitchell rose and watf grevted with long , lead , and enthusiastic cheering , ciajping of kinds , ic He jsaid a time had arrived when it behoved the working men of Stockport , to shew to the factioss that they were something in the scale of ssciety . ( Cheers . ) A time had arrived when it behoved them , as woiking men , to let the country understand that they were not that degraded race " of
beings which the enemies of the people and an hireling press had represented them to be . ( Cheers . } There had been a time when the working people —the despised Chartists were scorned and scoffed a ; . They were not then called upon to exercise their influence , in favour -of a faction , but they were then cail < rd npon to use their induence on behalf of a candidate who would , if returned , vote for their political enfranchisement . 1 Cheers . ) In walking out that day he had met with another gentleman , who was likewise a candidate for the Borongb , at an Inn , sign of the Bishop Blaize . He caught him by the arm , and asked him whether be wonld have a word or two with Mitchell . He ( the gentleman ) turned round
and looked at him , and asked him ( Mkchell ) whether he was an elector or not . Mr . Mitchell ¦ re plied by saying he was not . Mr . Coppock was b / at the time , who also told him that he ( Mitchell ) was not a voter . The candidate then said that his business was with the electors , and not with hima non-elector . ( Here a many voices cried out * name . " Mr . Mitchell said it wa 3 the humane Siephenson ' 3-sqnare chairman , Mr . Cobden . ( Groans . ) The speaker went on to s&y that if a person could afford to rent a £ 10 honse , he was not worthy of Mr . Cobden ' s notice , unless it was , by the bye , to wnness , as he ( Cobien ) did , one party of working men breaking the heads of another party . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) It had been stated by the Whig
party that the Chartists were in the P 3 y of the , Toriea . and ihattheywereendeavourJEgasfiraslay in ' their power to assist the Tories . Now , in answer ; to that , he ( Mitchell ) would ask when it was . j that he , & 3 an inhabitant of that boroagh , took Eides with the Tories ! They all well knew that , previous ' to tis arrest , he wa 3 employed by Major Marslasd for five years , and while he ' was under hi 3 ; employ , he opposed himat the first election , and , j consequently , ran the risk of losing his situation . \ He would not praise tne Major as a Tory , for he detested both ; ont , to give the d 1 his " due , he was a good masrer . At another time , when he was working for Mr . Thomas Steele , that gentleman called his band 3 together , and told them he
con-Kdered the Major a fit and propsr person to represent the people of Stockport ; he ( Steele ) wonld support him himse ] f , and requested that all the hands would accompany him to the hustings : ai this bis blood boiled within him , and he told him he would do go such thing . Then ., again , when Mr . Davenport put up as candidate for the borough of Stockport , he was the favourite among the people ; he , however , instead of supporting the Major , spoke at every meeting where he had a chance , in favour of Lloyd and Davenport . Mr . Mitchell then went on to Bay that if he had the least inclination to take side with the Tories , it would have been when be was in a good situation under the Mayor , and not when he had B&ihiag to lose . ( Cheers . ) He would support neither Whigs nor Tones but support a candidate who came nearer his own principles , ana one who has offered himself and who they would
have a chanoe of hearing shortly , and that gentleman was Mr . Bwrstow . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Mitchell then denounced Mr . Cobden for his conduct as Chairman of the Stephenson ' e-fiquare butchery , and remarked that however much he might have respected him before , that he saw sufficient on that occasion to give him a surfeit and to lead him to the Comiction that he was sot the man for Stockport . ( H » ar . ) A man who could usblasbingly stand by and witneea the blood of his fellow creatures being spilt -without taking the least steps to prevent it , bat on the contrary , IsugU and rejoweatit , wi ^ Jiit theman for him .

sentiments of his mind honestly and impartially ; lie belier ^ J j ^ - ^ jd a li fl e could to prevent his countrymen from resetting to such brutal conduct . After giving , priest Thorns credit for his candour at Stepbenson-square , and touching on many other topics , he concluded by exhorting the electors and non-electors to use their influence on behalf of Mr . Bairstow , as a candidate who would , if returned , go further than any other candidate then in the field soliciting their suffrages , and sat down amid the plaudits of the vast assembly . The chairman then rose and said , that he had the pleasure to introduce that eloquent advocate of the people ' s rights , Mr . Bairstow . ( Loud cheerisg . ) Mr . Bairstow then rose , and said lie came
before them tb&t evsaiag for the purpose of explaining to them his political principles , and to answer any questions bearing upon his political life and opinions which might be asked by the parties present ,-and likewise te explain the reasons why he had . . consented to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of that borough in Parliament . No doubt the idea of a Chartist coming forward and contesting the election of so important a borough as that of Stockpor t , might cause many an antiquated Tory to laugh , and maay aa hollow hearted Whigling to curl the lip of contempt ; he could allow the grimacing hj » oas to laugh and sneer at his expense , as that seemed to be their only original propensity . They knew , from painful experiment , that the
Whigs would not hesitate at the perpetration of any crime , however dark , nor any deeds , however atrocious , to effect their own sinister and mercenary objects . ( Cheers . ) Without being in the least affected by the supercilious , grovelling conduct of the Whigs , he would proceed in the task be had undertaken , cutting away right and left , so long as the nation was cursed with each a cowardly , imbecile , and cruel faction . ( Cheers . ) Although he had consented to offer himself at xb&t important crisis , he Wished it to be distinctly understood that he had not the slightest conception , at the coming election , of gaining a majority of votes . The Whig rag , the Slockport Chronicle , had denominated the Chartists of S : wkport a mere nominal party : but they were
going to prove whether it was so or not . It had been said they were weak and powerless , but they would test the truth for once , and they ( the Chartists ) will have learnt in what their strength consisted , and what force they had , and would prove who were their real or professed friends , and would suta veto upon the false delusions of many who professed to be the friends of the industrious millions 10 their face , but when tried yrexe found to be , by their actions , their avowed and inveterate enemies ; and if he gained nothing else , he and they would do that . In even doing so much , they were justified , because it would Dring the Whigs , Tories , and Chartists to an understanding with each other , which vas , he oonsideredv a very
desirable and essential point to arrive at . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Before the Nottingham election , tfee-Chartists were sneered at by ail the hireling prfcss m country ; bn ; the conduct of the Chartists on thii occasion h& 4 proved to a demonstration , ihe strength oi the Ch&rtusts , when they think prudent to put it in force , more than anything the Chartists had done since the name of Chartism was heardfcheers >—and tince that , the factions had boen compelled- to acknowledge them as a party . ( Cheera . ) The Chartists of Nottingham brought forward a liberal man as & candidate , but the Whigs would not support him . Mr . B&irstow then gave a full explanation of the conduct of the Whigs during the election , and analyzed the principles of Mr . Larpen ; ,
and remarked that , because the Whigs would uot support the Chartists , they would not support them , ano the result was that the Conservative gained the seat . Since that event , the Whigs have denounced the Chartist leaders as Tory Chartists ; the press has Wen equally as severe in declamation in wreaking their vengeance , so much so , that when a person who is said to be a Chartist , attends a public meeting , and claims a fair and impartial hearing , if the Whigs have the power either by physical or moral means to prevent him from obtaining a hearing , they never hesitate to put it in force . ( Hear , hear . ) .. The speaker commented upon the conduct of a Whig druggist , who had put a paper in his window , certifying that at a public meeting the
evening before , at which Mr . Bairstow was present , it wi ? all but unanimously passed , that Mr Bairstow was a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Stockport along with Major Marsland . He said that if this lying and officious druggist had lived forty or fifty miles from the place wbero the meeting was held , he shoald not have been bo much surprised , and again there wonld have been more excuse "had it been a month from the time when the meeting had been held ; but when it was within three hundrefi yards of the house where this ambitions druggist lived and put up such a lying statement , -and indeed in loss than twenty-six hour ? , between the close of the meeting , he could attribute such base , mean , loose-minded viliany , te
nothing but the consistency of Whiggery . ( Cheers . ) Here Mr . Bairstow read the resolution alluded to : — " That this meeting is of opinion that Mr . Bairstow and George Julian Harney are fit and proper persons to represent this borough in Parliament . " The Whijp were the best adepts at lying ; they lie so often that they are best satisfied and more in their ' element , when they are hatching them . Their tongues were hung upen a swivel betwixt truth and falsehood , and their propensities for the latter , overbalanced the former , and thus gain the mastery , and produce what the Whigs appear to take most deligkt in—scandal , calumny , and unblushing barefaced lies . ( Here a score voices cried out that no such resolution as the druggist alluded to was passed . )
They could not conceive , said the speaker , the ditferecce betwixt telling lies and truth , and if ever they didteilthe truth , it was only by mistake ; but Bonaparte was ambitious , the Duke of Wellington has been ambitious , and many other mea have been ambitious ; and , forsooth , this druggist , in order to show that he espoused Whiggery , that he was a consistent member of the fraternity—that he could piay his part in the game—and that nothing , howe-rer dirty , meao , and atrocious , came amiss to him , coald , for the sake of blasting the characters of the Chartists , and rake up all the prejudice aud odium of the deluded and unthinking against them —went home , and wrote a paper , and construed the name Harney into Marsland . ( Shame , and
numerons voices " Name . " ) Mr . Bairstow—Why , it wa ^ they'deptPatten , ofHeafcon Laise . ( Groans . and other mark > of execration . ) The speaker then castigated Cobden and his party , who profess to wish to give the people a big loaf , and could tarn up their eyes like a duck at thunder , could pull as long a face as any saint , exhibited all the symptoms of benevolence and charity , with as mealy a mouth and oily tongue as the biggest hypocrite in Christendom . 0 , said the speaker , what bowels of compassion those guardians of the poor—those kind hearted benefactors of the poor , those men who had so boldly andmanfailydenounced the cruel iandlordsforrobbiug the poor . In a word , these men who never studied
their own interest , so that by their labours they coald benefit the poor—who coald almost go on their knees one day on behalf of the poor and next day hire a number of working men to break the heads of their fellow creatures with bludgeons , and while the poor helpless creatures were being slaughtered in their presence , called it a fair demon-! stration of public opinion . ( Execration . ) Was such a cold blooded wretch as that a fit person < o ; represent the people of Stockport ! ( Cries of " No . ") : Why did the pretended friends of the labourer not join ihe working classes to obtain iheir political rights , which would enable us , uot only to Repeal i the Corn Laws , but protect labour . ( Cheers . ) , What would the middle classes do without labour
Labour , which cut all the navigations and constructed the railroads ; labour , which made the raw material valuable , which tilled the land , prodaced all the hats , coats , shoes , and all the necessaries of life ; which erected the mansions and splendid palaces ; and lastly , without which the world would soon be a desert ; from the king to tha peasant , all had to subsist upon it : and though it did ail that , yes-it was the only thing which waa unprotected . God had Baid that man should eat his bread by the sweat , of his brow . St . Paul declared that those who would not work should not eat . ( Cheers . ) Here Mr . Easby , the Editor of Bob Logic ' s Budget , got upon a wall , and began addressing the people ; a general rush was made towards him , which . stopped Mr . Bair&tow for a short time ; bat no I sooner was it found out , than they groaned and ; hissed him down , and came back again to the > C nail * n » ann 4 nrwoa ^ enn •? ftsv / 4 \\* r n im Vi w X ) a If . ! speakerand tnoee who stood by himMrBair
, . . - : stow then broke off his former discussions , aud eX ' ! posed the Whig trick in sending their tool to dis-! turb a peaceable meeting ; after giving the Whigs j And Mr . E&sby a sound thrashing for their attempt , to disturb the peace , he continued to say that the | Whigs may attempt the same game at Stockport | as they had played in the Staffordshire Potteries . j They , perhaps , would resort to the same means as , they had resorted to at Manchester , where his life had been threatened . But ho would have them to understand that if there was no protection afforded for the life and property of a Chartist—if they were I not allowed peaceably to txplain their principles , I there should be no security for the lives and proi pertyj > f the Whigs . If they were determined to ! stop the mouths of Chartists , the WhigB wonld ' find that others could play the same game towards ; themselves . ( Cheers . ) He had come there to assert
, j ¦ | i i ' | i j ! I ' : the rights of man ; he would continue , fearless of l consequences , to advocate those rights , and wonld I never cease till the working people were la pos-| sesasonof a voice in the legislature of the country ; —till labour as well as property was protected . — i ( Cheer ; . ) H « would Bet both parties at defiance , : and teach the people not to be led astray , but for ! 'he future to be determined to play their own i card , irrespective of either party . The achievement of those objects which they had so long been in pur-! t , u ; t of , would tend to secure the peace , happiness , ' arid prosperity of ihe natioa . The working mil-; iions had declared that they would never rtsi j sarlfcfied untii they were brought into Poihic . il j exisienee . They had not hitherto been looked 1 upon as having any part or lot in the happiness

and prosperity of the nation , yet on the working classes depended the existence of all other classes Mr . Bairstow then drew a horrible bicture of the New Poor Law , and the three 'Devil Kings who sat at Somerset House , and asked whether they would have a man who supported them to represent their interest in Parliament . ( Loud shouts of No ? ' ) Then down , down with Cobden , and the infernal New Poor Law ! ( Loud cheers . Several women"We won't hare it . " ) Mr . Bairstow then commented oa the proceedings at Manchester , In * strain of manly and forcible and catting language , and concluded by protesting against the return of Mr . Cobden for Stockport ; and on' withdrawing was greeted with loud cheers . Mr . Isaac Johnson rose
and said he had been delighted with the sentiments uttered by their candidate , and was glad to hear that the Chartists of Stockport had come to the resolution to support neither party . He detested the New Poor Law BUI from the time it was passed ; but where was Major Marsland when , it passed 1 ( A voice- ^ - " In the House . '') Then ( said the speaker ) he had given it his support , and he thought he deserved denouncing as well as Cebdea , and hoped they would not return him to Parliament . A gentleman of the name of Williamson then stepped upon the platform to put a few questions to Mr . Bairstow . Mr . Williamson— " Sir , will you vote for a repeal of the Corn Law if returned to Parliament ! " Mr . Bairstow said he deemed the Corn Law to be unjust
in principle , oppressive and injurious in ita operation , and ruinously fatal in its effects . He detested it as a monopoly ; he would vote for its repeal when the working classes grasp the suffrage , with which to control the benefits of such a change , convinced as he was that , under the present limited suffrage it never would , or could be repealedthat the working millions must first be enfranchised ere that law would be repealed . < Loud cheering . ) Wfren the People ' s Charter was made the law of the land , then , and not till then , would be vote for its repeal . ( Cheers . ) The result of its repeal at present would simply be a transfer of the power of plunder from the hands of landlords to the cotton lords , money-mongers , and our « oidisant enterprising manufacturer ? , whose interest
it waa to carry labour to the cheapest market , in order toensuro a flourishing trade-, always deducting the loss in the . prices ' obtained iroxa the wages of the artizan—not from the profit of the speculating master . ( Loud and repeated cheers ) Therefore , he was a Corn Law Repealer with the Charter in his hand . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mr . Williamson—Sir , will you , if returned to Parliament , vote for the repeal of the New Poor Law ? Mr . Bairstow said he was , under all circumstances , a decided enemy to that Bill , and wouJd vote for its unconditional repeal . ( Rapturous applause , which continued ^ ome moments . ) Mr . Williamson—Sir , will you in Parliament vote for a repeal of the law of primogeniture ! Mr . Bainstow said lie waa a
decided enemy to the law of primogeniture ; its tendency being to transmit tho property of the father to the eldest son , leaving the rest of the family , who had neither learned to toil nor spin , like " Solomon ' s lilies "—( hear)—the one to the church , another to the army , a third for the navy , and the last for the law , thus forming a pestilent swamp , prolific of nothing but paupers , sharpers , or cunning peculators . ( Great cheers and laughter . ) Opposed to ali grievances as he was , he vroiild , therefore , vote for the annihilation of that master-piece of aristocratic abuse and monopoly . Mr . Williamson—Sir , will you vote for a repeal of the legislative union' between Great Britain and Ireland ! Mr . Bairstow—On that subject there existed much error and misapprehension . He was
happy that the gentleman had put that question . Great prejudice existed among the Irish iu that country , from Daniel O'Connell terming them Tory Chartists and Orangemen , fa . But why abuse the Chartists as opposed to Repeal of the Union , until he had proved that they were either the only opponents of Repeal , or opponents at all ! ' * ( Tremendous cheers . ) He told his followers to bludgeon them , because they were not friends to Repeal . But why bludgeon the Chartists any more than Lord John Russell , Lord Aforpech , and other ministerial lackeys , who arc as greatly opposed to a repeal as the stanchest Orangeman in the United Kmgdom , and yet he coalesces with the same party , who refuse repeal , and who , by his own reasonings , are Orangemen . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) But it was a foul aud foundation's falsehood
that the Caartists generally and himself personally were opposed to a repeal of the Union . One of the cardinal principles of tho Great Nothern Union , founded by the patriotic and martyred Fexrgna O'Connor , was for a repeal of the Union . ( Enthusiastic applause . ) So much then for the Orange Chanisi Fcargtm O'Connor and his wild associates . ( Cheering renewed . ) He was a repeater of the Union . He wished Ireland to have au independent legislature suited to her wishes , representative of her inhabitants . Catholic and Protestant alike , to see her a nation , not a proviace . He would vote for a repeal of the legislative Union , disbelieving as he did that its pru .-ent agitators wished not to effect their avowed o- « jtut . Mr . Williamson , —Sir ,
Will you vote for tr . e reparation of Church and Stite ? Mr . BuirstoTv—He had ever looked upon the establishment oT any creed , or doctrines , as binding on the belie :, and compulsory support , by the whole of a country ' s population , as pregnant with the most dreadful results to the morals , condition , and peace of society . Christianity needs no such artificial appendages , or gilded trappings , as those with which the state had encircled it . The attempts of men to establish the Christian religion have ever proved abortive—the worst enemy to religion could not have kit on a more effective expedient to swamp practical Christianity in heartless hypocrisy , holkr . v profession , and bliud and stupid bigotry . ( Cheers . ) The existence of our
Established Church was tantamount to a right in the rich rector , assinine vicar , to plunder the conscientious di 3 ? cDiic 3 ) jt of bis property in the shape of rates and tithes , sheaves' , or the Irish peasaat ' s screaming pig . Look at the butcheries of Rathconn&c and Nevnonbarry ; look at the hittory of establishments in all times and countries , and one uniform but appalling picture would present itselfof dogmatism , intolerance , bigotry , fanaticism , proscriptioD , persecution , and bloodshed . He objected to the lordly bishop being fed in luxurious extravagance wrung from the heart of the toiling labourers , whik- preaching a religion of benevolence and compassion io -be pour . ( Cheers . ) He objected to the enormous expenditure of o « r national church costing n . or « - liiaa all the other churches of Christendom united together . ( Shame . ) He wished to see every party , religious or otherwise , stand or fall
by the voluntary contributions of its supporters . He would therefore most decidedly vote for the separation of Church and State . ( Loud cheering . ; Mr . Williamson—Sir , will you vote for the People ' s Charter to become the law of the land ? Mr . Bairstow ( humorously;—Aye , to a dead certainty with all my heart . ( Cheers , and laughter . ) He would stand by it till death and then his spirit should assist posterity . ( Renewed cheers ) Yes , that Charter should yet outshine every cloud and illuminate tho world ' s horizon . ( Loud cheeriDg . ) Mr . Clarke then moved that Mr . Bair 3 tow is a fit and proper person to represent the Borough of Stockport in Parliament , seconded by a person , put i > y the chairman and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given to the Caairmaa and the assembled multitudes left the meeting , admiring the talents and eloquence of their new candidate .
Marvlebone . —Spirited meetings are held here every evening by our Chartist brethren for the promotion of the election of that thorough-bred Chartist , Villiers Sankey , Esq . We are happy to learn that the requisition presented to him by the electors has been so numerously signsd . He is certainly a man of the right sort , and will be an honour to any constituency : he has ever adhered to the principles of the Charter , and , through good and through evil report , has undeviatingly advocated the interest of the productive classes . We have long known him , and can truly say that his talents and principles entitle him to universal support . Let the electors and non-electors ot Marylebone be " up and doing . " They , no doubt , know their duty ; we tell them to perform it .
