MANCHESTER . —The Bvely , * taeere , Industrious , and systematical CfaartiHts of Brown-street , assembled -iWTTOmeroB ^ r oo Sunday evening , tte room overloimgwiUi a respectable and attentlre wdience , to latttomsafteriSSToVn bwrt-tto Wd ^ Bwte of tberr and his own rlghto-a credit to faimselfand his erder-lfce tyrant ' s foe , the exposer of clap-trap and hnmtmg . and the friend of the inflfions-Mr . James laechTl fiutfaa jacket was called to the chair ,, who , alts a few remade * , introduced , in a flittering manner , the « bore •' ahMp-biUnjf Leech" to « ddreas | a » meetiag , £ commenced by anal / ring the speech made by Cel Thompson oa Friday evening , answering him point by ¦ aint to the ¦*»¦¦""'* conenrreoee of his hearers , and
& an edifying and instructing manner . To give aH his points would be impossible , without taking vp too much room , which would b * an injastioe to the rest of obi correspondents . Coloael Thompson said tbere was » principle of » eiasnnesi amio , -with - wb&h fce ( Mt . Xeaeh ) perfectly agreed , and vhteh , be eanfteaded , furnished one of the most cogent reasons -why the power should be extended to ettay man who performed hs&uI service to society , to protect himself- againsfctheinflaenoe of capital , and the grasping , grinding , s 7 arice a * d aelfiahiiees of his feltow t " " * Seifiahueas "was " » n fcnberent principle of toman nature . It ires that which sore or leu propelled , the actions of aH Irving beings . Bat again , there was another principle , "vis . justice , and Which should not be lost sight of—tbe power should
1 m placed in the majority to enforce it—to protect the labourer and his labour against the capitalist -and his capital—to protect the weak against the strong—to put down tint most atrocious and sKbear&ble system , of tyranny and craelty -which \ ras so ^ reralent , and to ensure good food , good clothing awt lodging'to the prodacing milliens—to do away with the phenomena which existed , whkh left the most usefal -class of society at the mercy of tfae -worthless , and that while the former -were cooped ap in the workshops and the noxious , poisonous , sad body-destroying faeiories ; they were subject to the insults and theiron-beeled despotism of the latter . Society < said the speaker ) wassocanied on atthepresent time , that Tice was virtae , and virtue Tice . All schemes were resorted to for the purpose of throwing
era portioaof the working chests into-the streets and bringing tie other * lower in tbeir wages , so that they were scarcely able to obtain an honest livelihood . It was the selfish principle assisted -by the power of the l » w which protected property aad left labour unprotected—that esrased the matters to take the n \ oney from the operatives add enabled then to feed and exercise those speculating , g * n » K » Tig , and cnbearing propensities , which allowed and stimulated them to go into the fac--toryand take as mochas « s . out of 163 . iTr . Leach then related what a working man would hare to pay . even allowing him to get the former sam , and argued that the reduction in the wages was not all which operated injuriously to the interest of the working man , for whilst his wages were redmoed , Ms rente , leys , food
and clothing were stationary , « o that he would have" to pay as much for his articles out of-gs ., as he would when getting double the sum . Henoe It was , that thousands were brought from cottage houses into cellars , to be dressed in rags and only half-fed . The tyrants , the cotton lords , the property classes , had formed a foul unprincipled and diabolical conspiracy , and haying a power ever the law , they tad -carried their nefarious designs into execution and sneered and laughed to scorn the working people whilst they were plundering them . He denied the assertion that the interests of the middle classes and the working classes were identical Such as bakers , publicans , and other small shopkeepers who stood behind the counter were somewhat identified , because the better the wages of the working classes , the
larger were their profits . If then they depended upon the wages of the operatives , they most fall in the same proportion . Though such was the ease , this class who had risen oat of the ranks of the working classes , were generally speaking , the most haughty and ambitions , and the inveterate —** mif * to liberty . Those who bat a abort time had been lifted out ef the puddle hole were the greatest tyrants . After referring to the Corn law Repeal cry , Mr . Leach next adverted to the question of muchisery , and grappled powerfully with Colonel Thompson ' s observations . The speaker next shewed how property had finhaaryxl is Tatne , asd referred to the property of Lord Egerton , who got apriTatt act passed , which would benefit him no less than , £ 10 , 000 by his coal mines , and
were xtaot far that act they , the working classes , could have had tie coals laid at their door , twopence per hundred cheaper than they were paying . One man could get an act passed fox his own benefit , while the working classes might pray and petition seven years , aad ao notice be taken of them . He then referred to the taxes of the country , and was of opinion , that if they were to be taken off altogether , under present circumstances , the nullioaa woald not be beneflUed . The usurer * would receive the benefit . He instanced the Stockportmasters , who wanted to takelOs , from the spinners , and showed its evil consequences . Mr . Leach then combattod the faftfio * . of the repealers , who said that the Chartists should assist fox a repeal , because wages would come down whether or not . The Com
Law repealers were continually patting arguments into the Chartists' mouths , they made use of and then refuted them , and called them the arguments of the Chartists . Sir . * rh , in conclusion , hoped *>»» - * erery working ssan would attend the meeting on Tuesday evening ; and sot leave it till the business was over . Let there bo bo hissing , shouting , or bawling . If the Cora Law Bepealers would hear the Chartists peaceably , why , then , the Chartists must hear them . He had evaded theii meetings of late , because they bad been convened in an underhand wimu »» Hn £ for the future the Chartists must be present and test the intelligent working «» of 'Mft . 'n ^ T'gtrrr as to whether they deem machinery a Heating as at present arranged , or a curse . There should fee two chairmen and an umpire to decide betwixt them .
2 e £ ore he sat down , he would wish to impress one thing mpon thdr minds , which was , that until the working classes were in a position to claim their rights , they would remain as they were—slaTes ; and when they asked for them they would ( as they were then ) be net with a satirical grin of despotism . Mr . Leach then aat down * after delivering an excellent lecture , for which he was applauded while speaking and at the conclusion . Mr . Whitaker then rose and moved , the following resolution : — " That the best thanks of this meeting are due , and are hareby given , to Messrs . Christopher Doyle , James Leach , and Henry Vincent , for the spirited and manly manner in which they exposed the fallsciffl and deceit of the anti-Corn Law party on Friday evening last in the Corn Exchange ,
sad tee talented manner | q trhica they advocated and defended those just and natural rights contained in the People ' s Charter ; and this seeting further pledges itself they will never agitate for anything short of a full measure of justice for the whole people , and that they are convinced can never be obtained until the Peopie' Charter becomes the law of the land . " The speaker said the time had arrived when neutrality was a crime ; when they witnessed the distress on every side , it was the duty of every individual to come forward and declare his opinion . He perfectly agreed with the resolution ; he believed that justice would never be done to the working classes until they were in a position to do justice to themselves . At the meeting on Friday night , they would not let Boyle speak until it was carried by a show of hands , and Mr . Watkins threatened that if the Chartists opposed them be and . his party would attend every meeting for the purpose of opposing them . He was disgusted with the
Corn Law party in bringing a resolution forward condemning Sir Robert for proroguing the House , and iben at the end of it to attach all the misery to the operation of the Com Laws , which was only an effect ( A class legislation . He was proud to see the men step forward as they did on that occasion , in vindication of of truth . It was the duty of the working men to sapport them . Had they been middle class men they would have received the thanks of the working men , and he could see no reason why they out of their own sacks were not equally as deserving . He was glad to witness the progress of the Temperance cause , and of Chartism in Ireland . After other remarks be sat down by moving the resolution . Mr . Clark , of Manchester , in a neat and suitable speech , seconded it The Chairman rose and put it , and was carried unanimously . Mr . Leach made a short speech in reply , in which , he exposed the trickery of Cobden and his improved machiaery . The meeting then separated .

Mr . William Thomason , of the Yale of LeT < m , t he people ' s representative for Paisley , was appointed to the chair , and opened the meeting with an excellent speeoh of considerable length . Two addresses ,
on e from t he Ch a r t is t s of Eld e relie , and t he other from those of Paisley , were t hen read and p resented to Mr . O'Connor , who was then introduced to the meeting , and spoke at great length in his usual able manner . He showed up the absurdities of the anti * Chartist Corn Law repealers , moat effectively throwing the ridicule upon them which they have so well deserved . He spoke at great length of the suffer * ings of the working population , and of t he best remedy , the oae he nas always anninchingly advocated , political enfranchisement—showed most convincingly that no emig ra t ion was re q uir e d if the land was properly distributed—went at considerable length into the absurd moral-force question , aad proved that it was now happily dead and buried—and
ended ; in hisaocuBtomed masterly manner , repeating his well-known motto , " Universal Suffrage and no Surrender . " It is needless to Bay he was vehemently applauded throoghont . A social meeting had also been called , to be held in the Exchange Room , Mossstreet , admission by tickets , threepence each . This p lace , which is ca pa bl e of holdin g 1000 persons standing and sitting , was also crowded to excess , indeed whole crowds had to go away , unable to gain admission . What is called the " free and easy" principle was acted upon with regard to the refreshments provided , e ach person being served with whatever he called for . Mr . Thomason was chairman here also , and commenced the business by a speeoh of considerable length . Mr . James Lee , farmer , of Stanley . green , was the croupier , and acquitted himself in a
most praiseworthy mannner . Ail the toasts usual on these occasions were drunk and appropriately responded to . Mr . O'Connor spoke for more than two hoars , and was , as he richly deserved , repeatedly interrupted with the most deafening cheers . A number of patriotio and other songs and recitations wer e g iven , and altogether the evening was passed with a groat deal of instruction and amusement . The audience was decent and orderly , about a fourth or fifth of them being females . The only interruption which took plaoe was given by one of tho " intelligent classes" —a drunken lawyer who had to be carried out . With the customary votes of thanks the meeting brok e u p a bou t twelv e o ' clock , having enjoyed themselves for three hours and a half , or thereabout . —Scottish Patriot .
