1 _ ¦ — — ¦ . „_ — MANCHESTER ATTEMPTED MASSACRE . LETTER FROM THE WHIG VICTIM WHEELER , TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR . ' «• The world ia my eonntry , and to do good my religion . " paijtb . Mt Dear Feargcs , —Owing to the varions reports in drcol&Uon , methints you will IDce to hare the-plain facts from old Wheeler himself , which are aa follow : — About half-past one , on Saturday , June the 5 th , * c tamtam home to dinner , I found oat Mends from Oldham , wilting is Tib-street , and in a few minutes I proceeded with them to the place of meeting ,
intending ao soon u thiagi ¦ were settled to leave them in the Hall , and return to my labour . On arrriving at the end of Oldham-street , a procession of Forresters were going . by , asd which , of course , delayed our procession for ten or fifteen minutes , during which time an Irishman , whom I do not know , often urged us to push forward ; but myself asd a man by the name of Johnson , and Mr . Smethurst , of Oldham , determined after the affray oh Wednesday , that nothing should be offered on the part of the Chartista to serve as a pretext to disturb the peace .
WhQe the procession remained , I stepped into Piccadilly , and was hailed by some of our friends that asked me , " who were the parties that had taken the Hall ? " lor they belieTed the money had not been paid . A person replied " Mr . Mahon had taken it , but did fiotpjy for it" They then asked me to go back and borrow the moceyfrom some friend , as they had not then wherewith to p ^ y tor it . I told th&m I had promised to accompany Mr . Smethurst and his men to the Carpenter ' s Kail , and I could not think of going back without first performing my promise . The answer was , 11 Wheeler , yon can go and open the Hall , and the man ¦ will take your word until such time as you fetch the money , ¦ w hich will not be more than half an hour . " This I agreed to do . The Forrester ' s procession had
by this time ail moTed by , and we procfeded along Piccadilly and Portland-street , at the end of which we ¦ were stopped by reports that the brutes were at the end of Carpenter's Hall , and had been running Charles Connor , no doubt to bludgeon him . After a few minutes halt , during which Mr . Mahon came up , and I wished Jehnson to go with him to open the Hall , but he said stop till we get a little further We again proceeded until we came near the canal bridge , isDivid-street , -where a number of people was returning ro . n the Hall with Yariou reports that caused an instant halt , —seme of the reports went to state that special care must be taken of the band , as the villains Wfcre determined to break every instrument . They , therefore , deemed it advisable to withdraw the band ,
and likewise the females who formfxl . a part in the procession . During the confusion , occasioned by the ab . 'Te reports ,, nnsslf and a few friends maSe the best f our way towards the Hall , leaving the procession behind . We were again stopped by the crowd , and * while there pausing , an > individual said " If the Hall ¦ was opened , all would be right" I then perceived Mahon at my elbow , who said to me " come on . " We pruceeded along the pavement but a short distance when I s » w the infuriated scoundrels flourishing their bludgeons in a fknd-like manner , OTer their heads ; and in the nrxfc moment I saw a Tillaiu whom 1 believe to be Finnagan , pointing to myself and Mahon . I aaid "Dd you see that Finnagan pointing us out " 2 £ r . Mahon said " Never mind him , come on . " Mahon
kad now stepped six or seven yards in advance of me , and was in the next instant attacked by six of th ; ruffians who stepped out of the njsjn road for the purpose . It was but the work of a few seconds when I again distinctly saw the same Tillain whom I belieTe to be Finnagan pointing from Mahon to myself , no doubt a signal for their attack upon me , for no sooner was it given than three of those who were belabouring Mahon , left him and came to me , when they , with six others which had come out of the main road , naking nine in number , fell , upon , me , and in an assassin-like manner aimed several blows
at me , when one stepped from amongst the rest , and ¦ with a blow felled me to the ground . The moment I was down , ene of the brutes exclaimed , " Pull off his hat , sod let us bare a fair slap at the old b 's b&re head . " Thi * they did ; and haying taken it eff , they threw it in the air , shontifig at the time , as if in triumph : they began to beat me over the head and body , which did not end until they considered 1 had a sufficiency to deprive me of life . I attempted to regain my walking-stick , which fell from my band when I was Mist knocked down ; but one of the villains saw me , sad kicked me over the elbow , and by that means 'wrenched it from bit grasp .
Having finished me , as they thought , one of the Boosters exclaimed , " Hell tell bo more tiles in the Star ; " and one , more fiendish than the rest , while 1 lay bleeding on tie ground , gare a jump and upper-cut witfc it , which inflicled a vtry deep incision in the back part of my head , at tbe same time exclaiming , * ' Ah , na -ata dh * ul , " of which words I have since learnt the meaning to be , " Your soul to toe Devil . " After this , I was taken from the grousd , bat by whom I know not , for it was dangerous for any person to so far sympathise for me ; and I was therefore transferred from one friend to another , until we arrived in Graaby Bow , the blood flowing copiously frem my head all the while .
From this time I hare but a slight recollection of what took place , until I reached the Infirmary , where there were several more waiting to get their wounds dressed . The Burgeon immediately came t-s me , and said , "This man must not go home to-night , " , and ordered me to be washed , dressed , and put to bed , which ^ aaa done accordingly . Too mncb praise cannot be given to Mr . Ftrmiford , the Louse surgeon , for his kind attention to me night and day , and to whom my wife and four helpless children owe a debt of gratitude , for the saving of my life-It ¦ was n « t until the Friday following that he pronounced me out of danger , and on Saturday be kindly offered me to return home , which I . readily accented .
And now , my dear Feargus , I am in a fair way of lecoTery , trusting it will not be long ere I shall be able to take my part with my fellow-labourers in the great cause of democracy , and to convince' the tools that " dub" law cannot alter truth and justice , is the sincere desire of The Old Veteran , \ Jlm H'DouaH calls me , and I now will adopt it , ) And jours trniy in the cause , J . Wheeler . 9 , Whittle-street , Manchester , June 2 # th , 1541 .
P . 3 . I hear the villain Fmnagan does not deny kaviiig told me to " Prepare to meet my God , " but said it was but a joke . Such jokes had nearly deprived me of life , and left my wife without a husband , and say children witheut a father . And as my labour is their only support , 1 fear the Xew Poor Law Bastile would have beta their lot , which I dreaded more than saeetingmy God . J . W .

MR . O'BRIEN OX THE ELECTION MOVEMENTS . Lancaster Castle , June 22 ad , IS 41 . My DEAS Bowman , —I see by the Northern Star of Sstuniay last , that the Editor has promised " io reason with Mr . OBrien , " &c 4 c ., in his next number , —with » view , no doubt , of reasoning you , and me , and all ¦ w ho think with us , out of our opposition to the new pro-Tory Cbartisi heresy . I hope he will not do so . I hope he will better employ his valuable time and talents . I hope , instead of vainly endeavouring to convince me that black is white , and that Chartism is not the antipodes of Toryism , he will endeavour to get the country to act , at the approaching elections , the part we have both recommended—the part to which we all stand pledged by the Manifesto of the first
Cou-Tention—and which has already received the sanction and promised support of innumerable public meetings , ai no one of' tehich did any Chartist leader , greai or small , eter dare to propound the infamous policy » fchain-¦ mg the Chartist body io the chariot wheels of either faction Whig or Tory ) to tw * U their triumph at tht arpei . ee of ow oven degradation ., and , as it were , in mockery of our mm political impotence sad nonentity . By following up his own excellent advice , and the country ' s excellent resolve , to create a national representation by tie show ¦ f . bands * suffrage at the coming elections , the Editor of the Star may even yet tfftct a world of good for us . By reasoning with mt in favour of pro-Tory Chartism , he will effect none at all ; for I promise him before hind , through yon , that Ms reasoning will have co more weight with me , than mine has had upon
In his mode of dealing with my letters , and in the few comments he has appended to them , I see much to etdmirt , and much to regret . I admire the frankness and promptitude with which he has given insertion to opinions adverse to his own , ( and that too , at great length , and involving the inconvenience of a second edition , ) I admire this unequivocal manifestation of hu love of fair play ; I also admire his deference to public opinien in subjecting his own dogmas to that tribunal , and consenting to abide by its award . I admire tbi complete absence of egotism , personality , and dictation , which characterizes his few remarks , and , above all , I admire the friendly feeling and spirit- of good fellowship with which he hu net my opposition . All those are goodly features not often found in -editoria ' controversy , and for which the Editor of the Stu ( however he may have behaved towards others ) h
entitled to my best thanks , at any rate , as regards the present subject in dispute . But I regret tfeat , in estiaating tbe comparative merits of my opinion Sod hi * own , ha should affect to regard mine I * only that of an individual , and bis own aa that of the great majority of the Chartist public . To thia I demur in tot * . I deny that his opinion on the point at issue between us , is the opinion ef the Chartist public I deny that what I call the new " pro-Tory Chartist heresy" is the established faith of the Chartiat body in general ; and I most vehemently protest against his covert attempt to isolate me from the congregation I claim communion with , by not onlj exhibiting my opinion as that of an individual separatist , but alao making me appear in the inTidious light of dogmatising to my brother Chartists . Tis tru « , my opposition to the policy of supporting Tories at the eiecttoaa , / er Hitmen mke o / tvrn ** f \ oui Whigs , is my own ,

independent opinion , but I know that it is alao the independent opinion of thousands of the best Chartists all over the country—of men who are as incapable of being dictated toby me , as I am of taking my opinions on trust from them . I will bet the Editor of the Star what be likes , that he could not get five Charter electors 1 h Brighton to vote for a Tory , merely to put out Captain Peehell , although almost every man of them would support a Chartist candidate against even Captain PtchelL There ia aa example in the South . Now , take one in tbe North .
There are four candidates in tbe field for Preston , two Tories , via : —Parker and Swain , and two Liberals , Tii : —Sir G . Strickland , and Sir H . Fleetwood . About a week ago , tbe four gentlemen were waited upon by a deputation of four persona from the Chartist Associa tion , to be tested as to their opinions , touching exteasion of the Suffrage , release of Chartist victims , recal of Frest , Williams , and Jones , ic to . Well , the result was , that the Tories would give no pledge in favtor uy Chartist demand—they thought the Suffrage "too much friended already . '" —that Frost , Williams , and Jones , were "justly punished , " fee . —and the other Chartist victims " treated as they deserved , '' &C . &e The Liberals promised to go aa far aa Household Suffrage , the Ballot , Triennial Parliaments , fee ., and to vote for the liberation and restoration of the Chartist victims . Upon this a public meeting was instantly held , at which 13 , 000 people were present ,
in-• fading all tbe principal Chartists of Preston , and their opinion taken as to the course to be followed . The result was an all but unanimous vote of both the electors and non-electors present , to support tbe Liberals ana keep out the Tories , if possible !! What will the Star say to this ? I will bet the Editor what he likes , that act ten Chartist electors will rapport the Tory candidates at tbe Preston election , although there were a good Chartist candidate in the field , he would have all the non-electors , and a very respectable minority , if not a majority , of the electors . Here are two striking instances of the error of the Editor of the Star , in supposing that the policy he recommends is sanctioned by the Chartist body , in general . I have riven him two ; but I could as easily give him twenty . His other errors I shall notice next week , when I have seen what he has got to say . Yours , 4 c James B . O'Brien .

The length at which we have given the important Leeds meeting , tht e ' ections , and immense inriiLc of Chartisi and other noes , has shtU out , this twefc , a larr / e man of most iviere&ing mailer , txueh cf \ chidh tee would have gladly iriven . but are uumble to cram it in . O J for our daily paper ! Our readers have no idea of the misery of having but one weekly paper for Uie whole people . Me . O'Coxsor will cheerful } ;/ accept the offer of his Burnley fustian friends , but only upon one condition , that is , that he shall be allowed to pay all
the expence . Ma . O'Co . nxor a \ d the Babnsley Thi = h Chartists . — We feel convinced that the state of our columns this week , and the recollection of the fact that the elections are all but on , will plead our excuse for the non-publication of their address and signatutes this week . I I shall be attended to upon the very earliest opportunity . Eeratcm . —In Mr . 0 Connor ' s reply to one of the " fustain-jacket and check-shirt Chartists , comical men of Marylebone , " inserted in onr last , for comical" men , read oouncilmen .
G . Grant , Banbort , may obtain Hill ' s Lectures on Etiglish Grammar , through the medium ef any bookseller , from Mr . J . Cleave , of London . Mr . W . Hill has not yet published his New System of Short Hand Writing , but intends doing so shortly . P . W . Buchanan . —His verses are declined . J . Blunt , Hadfield , has sent us a letter about some religious mountebank , called Slater , for the chronicleing of whose pious mendacity we connot find room . Joh . x Mcllollon . — We have given notice twenty times ^ over thai we never preserve rejected communications : parties who wish copies must keep them .
P . Valantine . —We are sorry he is angry , but cannot help U . J . W . Pabkkb , London , writes thus : — We hate 200 , 000 working men in this wen of corruption ; and if the so-colled leaders would but unite upon principle , and principle alone , I am persuaded we should , in a very short time , have the massive portion with u <; as the late great meeting at the Crown and Anchor proved that the great mass are essentially democratic , but unfortunately we have been destroyed by dissension . I implore the active Chartists to unite , and is this , the eleventh hour , to give our enemies a drubbing , and scout every man from their ranks who would attempt to destroy the influence of each other in the good
cause . Now « the time for every good Chartist to prepare himself for the coming struggle ; and when the elections are over * we shall be able to turn our attention to the liberation of Messrs . O'Connor and O'Brien , and escort them into London with at least 150 , 000 men—not so much for thempersonally , astoshow the attachment ofthe people to the principles for which they have suffered : if so , we shall soon have the Charter . I hope the Chartists of London will at once unite , and carry out the above objects , as well as to assist the ^ patriots , Vincent and M Douall , and send their mites to Mr . J . Cleave , treasurer to
the Metropolitan Election Committee . "A Foe to the Bastiles . "—There is no law against hU having his verse * printed and posted on the tealls . P . D . Snip * . — Yes . G . M ., Southampton . —His verses are declined . W . Swatton . —His verses are declined . T . Lording . —We have no room for his letter to "Pullicola : " the proper vehicle for it is the Weekly Dispatch . G . A * Newell must exeuse us ; we have not room . C . Reynolds , Penzincs , acted very foolishly in refusing to fill up the schedule . We love an adherence to principle ; we like to see it holden
with prudence . Portsea Radicals . —Their address to operative shipwrights must stand over , at least for the present . A Woolwich Cadet shall appear as soon as we have room . Charles Cross . —The Gateshead Meeting of the IS th we received on the Zilh . Ratter too late .

Coventry . —A handbill was pretty freely distri-; buted abput this city , announcing that the Right : Hon . E . EUice would address the electors of this 1 city at six o ' clock this ( Monday ) evening . The Honourable Gentleman made his appearance from ' the balcony of the Craven Arms Hotel , at the time specified , accompanied by a good muster of shopo-: crats and manufacturers ; and we should think i there could not be less than two thousand working ! men present . This Poor Law Whig Member made ! three ineffectual Attempts to address the people ; ' and , while bo doing , his friends in the room held a i secret conclave , and advised him to rally the town , j to drive his opponents before them . This , however , i was more easily talked about than effected . He was ¦ from six o'clock till nine making innumerable : efforts to speak ; but only able to articulate , audibly , : the word " Gentlemen" each time .
Ha-wick , June 22 . —John E . Elliot , brother to the Earl of Minto , our present county member , has : this day , after canvassing the county , declared the contest hopeless and that he retires , leaving the ; field clear for his opponent Francis Scott , the nomi-\ nee of the Dako of Bucdeugh . J . E . Elliot was | one of those very liberal gentlemen who voted against the release of the political prisoners .

Birmingham Election . —Moata and Scholefield are in the field on the " Liberal" interest , as it is termed , and Richard Spooner stands forth as the Conservative Candidate . The walls of the town are literally covered with bills from both parties ; one of them , signed Thos . Attwood , informs the people that they are now about to receive the benefits of the liberty which they have achieved , namely , prosperity . Poor Tom , he ' ll find it is " boro . The Chartists are awake , and axe determined to start two working men for the show of hands .
Mjbctik ( i of Elkctobs . —A . mseling of electors , called by placard , was held on Tuesday last , at Bindley ' s ( late Beardsworth ' s ) Repository , for the purpose of hearing Mr ., Spooner state his political creed . He was closely questioned by Mr . Thomson , on the Buffrage question , ' and declared himself opposed to any farther extension . Alderman Weston , Messrs . Douglas , M'Donae )) , and others , who are favourable to the return of the present members also took part in the business . Mr . George White addressed the meeting also , although the chairman , Mr . Alston , at first refused him an hearing . He denounced both factions , and showed that whether a Whig , lory , or " Liberal" was returned , they would equally oppress the peeple , and ezposea the folly and deception of those who talked about an extension of the suffrage .
Carlisle . —A very active canvass is now going on for the Eastern Division of the oounty . In addition to the old Members , William James , Esquire , of Barrick Lodge , and Charles Howard , Esquire , son of the Earl of Carlisle , and brother of Lord Morpeth , there is a William W . Steplaeneon , Esquire , of Scaleby Castle , who it appears is a high Tory . The general opinion is , that Mr . James will be rejected by tbe freeholders of the Eastern Division , as he is looked upon as the enemy of the farmer , being in favour of an alteration . in the Corn Laws , and a thick and thin supporter of the present Government . He is , moreover , a cold-blooded
Malthusian , who would starve the people to death by the accursed New Poor Law . On Saturday last , the present Members for the borough , William Marshall , Esquire , and P . H . "Howard , Esquire , issued addresses to the electors , calling upon them for a continuation of their support . A Serjeant Goulburn is talked of coming forward in the Tory interest . The Chartists are actively engaged in forming committees , and using every exertion to bring forward a Chartist , who will le ^ ully contest the borough . Should a coalition take place between the Tories and the Chartibts , there is a # reat probability ef pulling out one , if Hot boih , of our present
Mem-Worcestkb . —Mr . Robert Hardy Is in the field here on Universal Suffrage principles . We give the following from his excellent and ' manly address : — " In aunoancing myself a candidate for the repre sentation of the City of Worcester , I do eo without having consulted any person , or having been solicited by any party . As i have always aonsidcred canvassing disgraceful to the candidate , and insulting to the electors , I shall neither degrade myself nor insult you by askiDg any of you which way you mean to vote ; and as I shall not expend one shilling more than the law compels , I shall leave the choice entirely in the hands of the electors , which is where it ou # ht to be . 1 shall now give my opinion on some of our national affairs , both in Church and State .
My religion I take from the Bible , and that alone , therefore my Church is sever in danger ; and I cannot find , in any part of either the Old or New Testament , any authority for man to make a religion tor himself , or a Government to make a religion for the nation . I , therefore , consider all national religions anti-Christian in principle , and all history proves them to be decidedly so in practice . My politics I take from the same source as my religion . The Bible tells me I should love my neighbour as myself , and to do unto every one as I would wish them to do unto me : this command is as binding in all national transactions as it is in the affairs of private life ; therefore , he that professes to believe Christianity , and denies his neighbour the same right in making those laws he is bound to obey equally with himself , only proves that he disbelieves what he
professes , or does not mean to practise it . I say , the right is , or ought to be , in the man , and not m the property ; I , therefore , wish every man that has not been found guilty of crime to have a vote . I object to all wars , and to standing armies , as the working tools of tyranny and oppression : ou « -half of what is expended to keep up these hired bands for the purpose of destroying their fellow-men would be suffioient to give the whole of the rising generation a good moral and scriptural education . I am opposed to all taxes on articles of consumption ; property alone ought to bear all the burdens of the state . " The Chartists of this plaee have determined that the Solicitor-General , late Sergeant Wilde , shall not go unopposed , and have invited Mr . George White , of Birmingham , to tell him some of his evil doingu .
Newcastle . —At a public meeting of the eleotora and other inhabitants of Newcastle , held on Thursday , the 17 th , Mr . Byrne , in a very eloquent speech , moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Sinclair , and carried unanimously , namely , '' That the present weak but wicked administration being no longer able to govern the country , it behoves the people , when thus appealed to , to mark their sense of the tyrannical , foolish , and hypocritical course pursued by the Whig government , and to use their best exertions to thrust them from their bad empeum , and to prevent their return to power until it becomes useful to the people . " Mr . Mason moved the second resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Crothers , and carried , namely , "That Jas .
O'Brien , Esq . ie a fit and proper pereva to represent this borough in Parliament , and that the Chairman be authorised on behalf of this meeting to request Mr . O'Brien to become a candidate for the suffrages of this borough at the ensuing election . " Mr . Mason very beautifully eulogised upon the talents of Mr . O'Brien , and his attachment to the cause of truth , and showed the benefit which would be derived by the middle classes and industrious classes in sending such sterling characters as Mr . O'B . to represent them in Parliament . Mr . Fainlough moved the third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Bruce , and carried with two dissentients , " That the meeting cannot find epithets sufiiciently stroDg to repudiate the cowardly , brutal , and bloody conduct of
the Whig ministerial clique in hiring bludgeon-men to enforce their unreasonable and treacherous arguments at lhe recent meeting in Manchester . " Thanks and three cheers being given to the chairman for his conduct in the chair ; three cheers for the Charter ; three cheers for O'Connor , O'Brien , and all the incarcerated and exiled patriots , the meeting separated about half-past ton . The Council of the Charter Association meet every Monday evening , at eight o ' clock , in their own Room , Chancellor ' s Head Yard , Newgate-street , instead of Tuesday evenings , as formerly . Mr . Turnbull , of the firm of D . France , and Co . booksellers , foot of Butcher Bank , was duly elected treasurer for the election fund for the return of Mr . O'Brien to Parliament .
Banbory . —The Whigs are quite chop-fallen , and are driven to their old trick of burling calumny and misrepresentation at their opponents . They are certainly " hard up , " when they have no other chance of making their way , except by representing Vincent as a physical-force man , a denouncer of the shopkeepers , traders , &o . ; while the whole country know that Vincent never either countenanced violence or offered the least insult to the shopkeepers . Yet we have the pleasure to state that Vincent stands unscathed , and can smile at the imbecility of the clique who oppose him . Men' of Banbury , do your duty , and shew the factions that you are " up to the mark 1 "

BABJTSZiEV . —Various efforts are making by the emissaries of the Messrs . Taylor to induce the men to return to work , but no satisfactory arrangement having been mado with the committee , they very properly continue to stand out . We hops they will do so , and that the country will support the * m . HYDE . —Serious Riots bt the Hired Irish Bludgeonhen . —In another paragraph , we have detailed the brutalities committed by the hired ruffians of the Corn Law " Piague" at Stookport ; but , from the information wo have since received , it would appear that Stock p ort is not the only place where these " worthies" are attempting to " bludgeon" the people into their views . At Hyde the outbreak has t > eeu much more serious . It originated shortly after a meetinar . on Friday eveninir .
at which an Irishman named Trainer delivered a a long and abusive lecture on the evils of the legislative union . This fellow donounced the English as enemies of old Ireland , and urged his hearers to obtain their liberties or die in the attempt . The day after , Saturday , the Irish employed in the construction of the Manchester and Sheffield Railway having received their pay , assembled at different public-houses , where they partook of liquor until intoxicated , then marched in the streets armed with picks , pokers , spades , bludgeons , and large pieces of iron , shouting as they proceeded , " Hurrah for O'Connell and Repeal—down with the b—y English . " They assaulted every person they met , and many were wounded and braised very severely . Their attacks were indisoriminateonmen . wemen and children ,
nor did the houses of the inhabitants escape , but many of the peaceable English had their houses broken into , themselves assaulted , their windows and furniture destroyed . The police did their duty in the most active and praiseworthy manner , and they were ably assisted by Capt . Clark , R . N ., of Hyde Hall . * A person named Patrick Callaghan , who seemed to be their leader , wag taken into custody , and has since been committed for trial . However , the English were determined on revenge , and in the heat of the moment forgot that the law in this country is yet enough to vindicate their wrongs and protect their rights . They assembled in large numbers , proceeded to the part of the town chiefly inhabited by Irish , broke their windows , destroyed

their furniture , and beat the original assailants on them and their property . The magistrate abovenamed exerted all his influence to prevent the riot proceeding . He ran among the mob ; he promised every exertion should be made to bring to justice those who had been guilty of violating the law ; and he threatened that any of them who should be known to commit any violence , either' to the persons or property of the Irish , would share a similar fate . His influence was exerted in vain , for daring Sunday night and Monday almost every house in the town which was known , or could be ascertained to be occupied by an Irishman , was attacked—the inmates beaten , furniture destroyed , doors and windows broken , and in some instances the floors palled up . The appearance of the town occupied by the Irish presents a complete wreck , and
the damage done will fall heavily on the Hundred . Thus the Irish have reaped the harvest they were Bowing for their fellow-townsmen . They have done incalculable mischief both to themselves and their neighbours . Nor can the conduct of the inhabitants who partook in the outrage be exoused . TheV ought to have left the autborites to punish their assailants b y law , and to have acted oa the excellent and judicious advice of Captain Clark . In the course of Sunday , Monday , and Tuesday , nearly forty of the rioters have been apprehended , fourteen have been committed for trial , several have been bound ever to keep the peace and others have been summarily dealt with . There were no military in the neighbourhood , but two troops of the 8 th hussars left Manchester on Tuesday morning , and are stationed within a short distance of the town . At the period of our last advices , all continued quiet .
STOCKPORT . —Defeat op the ** Bloodies . " —On Friday evening last , the Irish O'Connellites began a row in this town of a like nature to the Stephenson ' s Square proceedings . The attacks made upon the English were retaliated , and the Irishmen were beat every where and on every occasion . The Association Room , Bomber ' s Brow , was guarded on Sunday , in consequence of the threats of the Repealers . On Monday afternoon , the Chartists of Stockport were determined' to try who should have possession of the walk : a fearful excitement prevailed throughout the town . Messrs . Bairstow , Doyle , and Co . were surrounded by men determined to protect them from the attacks of the
O'Connelhtes , as they went to the Association Room ; and at every street crowds issued from all parts of the town to join the great procession , which reached from nearly the bottom to the top of the Hillgate . When the procession arrived at the bottom of Bomber ' s Brow , the Chartist speakers were hailed with deafening and enthusiastic applause , which caused the " bloodies" to quail . Mr . Doyle lectured to a most crowded audience on the Corn Laws . The repealers did not attempt any interruption , well knowing they would have been soundly thrashed if they had commenced any row . The authorities having found that the Chartists were nut to bo put dowu by the Whig hired tools , have issued a proclamation requesting all parties to be peaceable .
LEEDS . —Borough Election . —We understand that the nomination of candidates for this borough , will take place on Woodhouse-moor , on Wednesday next , and that the poll will be taken on the day following . STALEYBRIDGE . —In consequence of the serious riots which occurred at Hyde , on Sunday , the magistrates of Staley Bridge requested the Chartists to postpone their lecture and discussion on the Corn Laws , which had been fixed for Tuesday evening , to a future occasion . The Chartists , ever ready to evince their love of peace , law , and order , at once consented , and the crowds of people who filled the streets leading to the chapel , being informed of the postponement , went quietly home . The magistrates paid all the expenses attendant on the postponement , and too much credit cannot be given them for this very prompt and yet conciliatory effort for the maintenance of public peace .

TO THE UNREPRESENTED , AND THE ELECTORS OF THE WEST-RIDING OF THE COUNTY OF YORK . p ENTLEMEN , —I am called upon by the unani * \ X mous voice of avast portion of your body , to offer my self as a Candidate to represent your Interests in Parliament at the approaching election . I had not anticipated that you would confer upon so humble an individual as myself so hifih a honour . I had hoped that this preference would have fallen to the lot of one of those Gentlemen , who , possessing qualities so superior to my own , are willing to serve you . But as you have thought fit to place me in ibis proud position , you may fully rely upon the exercise of my best exertions , if elected , to
regenerate our sinking , our falling country . Gentlemen , your choice has given the lie direct to the falsehoods propagated by the Times and Mercury , the two Whig organs of Leeds—namely , "that you had discarded me for the part I took in the late Election at Nottingham . " It has proved that I still live in your confidence ; that you have not changed your principles , aa has been charged upon you by those calumniators who seem to regret exceedingly that you have thrown off the trammels of their party ; that you have commenced business on your own account ; that you have opened your eye- ) to their duplicity ; that you cannot forget the promises made and broken during the period of their oppressions , and especially those during the
agitation for " the Bill , the whole Bill , and nothing but the Bill , " that it was only a step , and that so soon as by your aid they got it they would go on to the completion of reform , and to the consummation of Universal Suffrage . How did they redeem their pledge 1 Why , so soon as they obtained their pet measure , they turned round upon you and declared that reform had gone far enough ; charged you with being in poverty and rags—said that you had not a Shilling of your own ; that you were never satisfied ; that the Reform Bill was a " final" measure , and that you would rob those who had property . With a bold front they informed you that you were too ignorant , and consequently unfit , to possess the franchise . You were wise enongh and prudent enough while lifting the Whigs into power ; but as soon as they were up , they kicked the ladder down , and there below you must remain , until you erect a ladder for yourselves and apply it to your
own elevation . The same faction , by a new cry of" Cheap Bread , " and " Monopoly or no Monopoly , " intend again to delude and betray you into their meshes , in order to proceed onward in lowering your condition still more , that ' they may compel you to continue to compete with foreigners , who , by comparison , are untaxed , while we are taxed to an unparalleled degree . They have unhesitatingly deolared that their sole aim and objects are to lower the price of our goods , which can be done by no other means than lowering wages . 0 A leading Member of the body , in his report of wages on the Continent , states that at Bonn , on the Rhine , the wages are only fourpence halfpenny for twelve hours' labour ; and before we can successfully compete with them , wages in this country must be much lower ; because onehalf has togoinltaxes : and when they can make no profit by your labour they may give you a few days or a few weeks grace ia the bastile before sending
you to rest in your graves . The Poor -Law Aot was passed with the positive intention to compel the poor to live on a coarser kind of food . Continue the Whigs in office , and you will boon have none at all . And why this yell of no monopoly" now ! You must be aware with how small ceremony the Whig Government dismissed the mighty delegation of the Corn Law League , who were treated with Boom and indignity by the very men whom they are now , spaniel like , raising such a tumult from the Land ' s End to John O'Groata" to keep in ofllce . And have they given any publio pledge to repeal the Corn Laws t None whatever . They do
not intend it ; they are themselves landed proprietors , and areas Bach opposed to the repeal as any of their more honest opponents . Their end and their aim is to enforce the New Poor Law , the Rural Police , and the full measure of continental centralisation ; infact , to upro&t the last vestige of the Bmall remnant of liberty remaining to us . Had they been honest in any beneficial declaration , they would have commenced the work of economy , retrenchment , reduction of monopolies , and the eradicating of every oppressive measure , when they took the reins of Government . Had they , instead of making puny reductionsof taxes , part of which had lately been imposed by themselves upon principles of the h ghest refinement , vis ., ef taxing the taxes ; hid they tkan

commenced and carried out real retrenchment , when they were backed by large majorities , instead of making false professions when their " occupation ' s gone , " when they have sunk down to a minority and can effect nothing;—in short , had they been virtuous and honest men , they would now , iutead of being held in scorn , contempt , and derision bj every benevolent and intelligentbaingin the country , stand upon the proudest pinnaole of fame , enjoying the prayers , the blessings , and the gratitude of all , and would have been handed down in the pages of history as the greatest benefactors of the human race .
What a mockery it is now to tell us what they would do for us ! aad how deplorable it is to find so many who endure so much from their misrule , from ignorance and self-interest , following and supporting the vile faction ! more especially as it iejjelf-evidentthat what it has promised would constitute an evil—an injury instead of an advantage—to themselves . Those men ( the Whigs ) gave twenty millions to themselves and others , as the price of oar fellow-creatures—as a remuneration for the restoration to liberty of those human beings , whom they had stolen from the coast of Africa ; and this while
tens of thousands of white slaves remained , and still remain , in a worse condition than those black slaves who have been emancipated . They have added largely to the public burdens during their period of office , and that , too , while we had all but perfect peace ; the almost only foreign skirmish being against the inoffensive Chinese . And for what ! To compel them to pay for that prohibited intoxicating article opium , which had been smuggled by our merchants into their ( the Chinese ) country . Certainly , war upon such abhorrent pretensions never took place since the creation of the world .
Whiletensofthou 3 andswere 8 tarving , they granted to the Queen Dowager one hundred thousand pounds a year , and two or three palaces to reside in , making the old lady ' s income above above £ 2000 a week . Thanks to our stars thoy were not permitted to give to the Queen ' s husband more than £ 30 , 000 a-year ; they were resolved to give him £ 50 , 000 . They paid within a short period , about £ 2000 to carry through the country an army of blue unconstitutional troops to irritate instead of conciliate the oppressed people , who were seeking their rights in a more legal and constitutional manner than they themselves agitated for place and power ; and for less grave offences than they themselves had committed , they imprisoned , tortured , and murdered
the people ' s best friends . They gave £ 70 , 000 to build palaces for the Queen's and her husband ' s horses , £ 30 , 000 to educate a whole people , and between £ 60 , 000 and £ 70 , 000 to support three Commissioners , with their minions , expressly for the purpose of eradicating every constitutional principle , in order io oppress , degrade , insult , and starve the unfortunate poor . Had their course been as rapid and progressive onwards to right and justice , as it has been backward to merciless cruelty , we should have been the happiest nation upon earth ; we should have been vieing with each other who should add most to the happiness of the whole , and every one might have lived under his own vine and fig-tree , none daring—none desiring to
make him afraid . Instead of this , their accursed system of legislation has inspired only irritation , party rancour , envy , malice , and over-reaching of one another ; and while the poor are in terror of the Bastiles and Rural Police , the rich are alarmed for an approaching crisis , in which life and property will be endangered , and which may result in revolution and anarchy . While our best artisans are being engaged by thousands to remove to the Continent and other countries , where they can produce goods much lower than here ; while many thousands are leaving our shores on speculation , to find a home and a resting place for themselves and families , and are employed in many instances upon machines of our own manufacture which have been
sent away by licenses granted by the Government ; —this Government have , on the very eve of a dissolution become advocates of , not a Repeal of the Corn Laws , but of a fixed duty on all corn imported ; while the League are for a total aad immediate repeal . The consequence is that our trade and commerce are moving as rapidly from us into other countries , as they formerly moved from them to this country ; while the middle class who are rapidly sinking down to bankruptcy , seem as blind as beetles to the real cause ; and like Bedlamites , are pertinaciously working out their own destruction . They adhere to the greatest monopolists , and cry down with monopolies !
while to all discerning men it is qu > te evident that skimming the surface will only add to our misery . We must commence at the root , and make a perfect clearance ; we must take the Crown Lands from the hands of private individuals , and appropriate them to their legitimate purpose . The Church property , which , since the Eighth Harry dispossessed the Catholics of it , is , to all intents and purposes , publio property , would , under any honest Government who advocated liberty of conscience , have been appropriated to publio purposes , and all would then have worshipped in their own way unrestrained and untaxed , to support any other .
The standing Army and Rural Police must be abolished in time of peace ; salaries , pensions , and places , must be economized . The debt contracted by the Whigs and the Tories combined , and mainly augmented by the same parties , to support the war of extermination in France , aud miscalled the national debt , ( but which in reality is the debt of the Aristocracy—of those who pledged their property and their lives in support of the war ) , —this incubus must be removed , and we . must prove oUr superior intelligence by lowering the amount of public expenditure below all other governments .
Whenever this is effected , and not till than , can we have an advantageous free trade ; then may we safely call for a clear stage and no favour ; then with the essential accompaniment Universal Suffrage can we add to our own and to the happiness of the world ! Much as the labourers of this country have been abused and calumniated they are more virtuous than any other class in the country , and unequalled in ingenuity and industry , by any people on the face of the globo ; and as soon as justice is extended to them , they will rise in morals , possess comforts of which they have been debarred , and a new era will be commenced . Then let the faction which now governs be driven from power and we are safe ; none other c an carry out their treasonable plans—none else can carry into effect the continental system of coercion and centralization . Put them again at the head of a majority , and the most perfect system of slavery is established .
Reciprocity is the great and fundamental principle or free trade ; hence , when it is established , the whole of the protective import duties must be abolished , as well oa foreign manufactured goods as upon foreign grown corn ; and with our presentjugr * dens , may I ask what would be the consequeaae ! I beg to give you a short list of a few of the many articles of manufactured commerce , and the duty which must be paid upon them on being imported . Wood turnery 30 per cent ;; tiles 50 do . ; pack thread 25 do . ; starch £ 9 103 . per cwt . ; snuff 6 s ;
per lb . ; crown glass , £ 8 6 s . 8 d . per cwt . ; blacking £ 3 12 s . 6 d . ; brioks £ 1 2 s . Sd . per thousand ; sheet glass £ 10 per owt . ; paper 9 d . per pound ; calf and kid tauned skins , 9 d . per pound ; clocks 25 per cent . ; watches 25 per cent . ; worsted yarns 6 d . per pound ; baskets 20 per cent . ; women ' s boots and shoes 30 s . and 36 s . per dozen pairs ; men ' s shoes £ 2 14 s . per dozen ; hats and bonnets of straw , from £ 3 3 s . to £ 6 6 s . per dozen ; hard soap £ 4 10 s . per cwt . ; iron bars 30 s- per ton ; straw plat , 17 s . per pound ; books 25 s . per cwt .
Were these articles and others to be allowed to be imported free , we should be inundated with foreign goods , and the home manufacturers and workmen driven to starvation . Now , many can only Bee cheap bread , but they must also nave cheap imported goods , often ready to fit on to the body . The most splendid furniture , gilded frames , gloves , silks , ribbons , hardware , eutlery , < fec , are being imported daily with these heavy duties ; let them come free and we are done . Women ' s gloves pay 4 s . and men's do . 5 s . per dozen pairs ; millboard , brown paper , and scaleboard pay £ 3 s 8 s . per cwt . ; gold leaf , 3 i . per hundred leaves ; and whited brown thread 18 a . per dozen pounds .
Throw off these and we become importers instead of exporters , and our workmen must seek shelter in foreign countries , or starve at home ; while those Who are the most noisy brawlers for " no monopoly '' would be the first to suffer ; aud unless they will take council and go to the root at once they must be involved in ruin . Give every man a voice in the election of his representatives—establish universal right , Universal Suffrage—it has existed in this country ; we ask for nothing new—establish equal laws and equal rights — 'and our nation will again flourish—our industrious population will speedily possess every means of comfort ; their love for their dear , their native land , will then return ; esteem and respect for one another , and good wi ll to all , will abound in every class—iu every heart—and replace animosity and
rancorous feeling ; while party spirit will vanish from the land . We shall rise from the existing system of devouring one another , not only to live who can , but to the good old plan of live aud let live . Gentlemen , should I be returned to Parliament as your representative , my best exertions will be devoted to the great cause of universal redemption—to that line of action which , in my humble judgment , is best calculated to ensure the greatest possible happiness to all . I shall oppose any Government who does not extend the fullest protection to every human being within their dominions . I shall oppose , in every possible Way , every attempt to establish monopoly in trade and legislation . My cause is the cause of the whole people . My only aim is universal good . I am , Gentlemen , Your devoted friend and humble servant , l . pitkethlt ; Hndderafield , June 22 , 1841 .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , June 2 ith . This has been a barren week , as regards any movement , save that of electioneering . The lads are * U of them working hard , and with honour to themselves . Last night , Mr . W . Villiers Sankey addressed two numerous meetings ; and , in the Tower Hamlets , the Fox got a good run , which ended by the Chartists cutting off the brush . This makes the second run this week , and all were up at the death . From Finsbury Tookk has bolted , leaving the field open to the old representatives . The various local elections which have taken place this week , have proved that the Whigs and Tories are united against the people . This was more particularly developed in St . Panoras , where the two factions joined and defeated the popular party in the election of district commissioners of paving in the Southampton locality .
The elections throughout the Metropolis for Members of Parliament come off next week . The nominations for Marylebone aud the City of London are expected to be made on Tuesday next ; and iu the other Metroplitan Boroughs on Wednesday or Thursday , so that next week will bo a week of action ; and the men of London , it is hoped , will be up ana doing . ,
