w artificial market . The buzz must' not frighten as from the consideration of who and what are the etemies of labour . Upon the one hand , then , I tell yew th * £ , ere long , machinery will make 3 , 000 , 000 an over-population in this country , unless the great agricultural labour mart be opened as a retail market for the expenditure of labonr , and creation and extension of a home market for manufactured produce . And now , my friends , as to cheap corn inBnring cheapbread , allow me at once to explode that fallacy . I have told you one thousand times over , that no act of a government to regulate the price of raw material
« oold by possibility insure any retail advantage to the mall consumer . Now just observe how J support my assertion . From the 11 th of July to the 15 th of August , there h& 3 been a redaction of fifteen shillings in the price of the quarter of wheat , wherea 3 upon the 1 lib of July the price of four founds of bread wasninepence halfpenny , and on the 6 th of August the price was ninepence halfpenny not one fraction of a change ! Here then 13 fifteen ghilling 3 profit upon 208 stone of flour between the jnUler , flour factor and baker : but not a single advantage derived by the small consumer ]
jsow will any Com Law Repealer account , or attempt to account , for that anomaly ! Let me now direct your attention to the course pursued by ihe whole of the London press . ^ In the first instance , all importance was attached to the strike hy the press of the League ; bat the moment that body -was frustrated , then , as if by magic , did both parties gliake hands , when thebar ^ ainwasstruckthat Government should receive the joint assistance of Whig and Tory to destroy us . Thelyingreportsof all matters calculated to damn ns were precisely the same—written by the same hand—in the same language and spirit fer eTery rough daily journal , while the Times has extracted copiously from the Star of last week , for the purpose of saddling all the odium upon my back . The Times quarrels . with the publication of the
names of tie heroes of Peterioo , on the 16 ih Uf August , 1819 ; and asserts that in the list is to be found m&uy names of our most respectable millowners . Respectable indeed ! What I do these who received their Regent ' s and his Minister's thanks for their valour in 18 Id , blush at the mention of their deeds in 1842 Ml But the Tunes omitted to state that the report in the Slar was taken from the Leeds Mercury . However , I may venture to expect that ihe -vigilant gentlemen connected with my office , will procure a file of the Times of that date , and by placing the then comments of that virtuous journal in juxta-position with its present notions the -world will be enabled to form a just estimate of the consistency of the leading journal of the Tory party .
Mj friends , I at first laughed at the postenpt appended to O'Brien ' s letter of last week , wherein he assert 3 that all the Chartist leaders are to be assassinated ; but really , when I came to read the bloody attacks of ihe Chronicle npon Cooper , and those of the Times upon M'DonalL Clarke , Cooper , and myself , those attacks present strong presumptive evidence in support of O'Brien ' s assertion . But now , for one moment , Jes u 3 consider the jnaganimity of these two leading journals . Sir John JSasthope is M . P . for Leicester , and it is known that the valiant Cooper , npon the first occasion threatens him with opposition for the representation of that borough ; and so , like poor Frost , Cooper is to be sacrificed to get rid of his opposition . And then as
for the Times , every article upon the general state of tha country is sure to close with a phillipic against those -who opposed Walter , the proprietor , at Nottingham , and the wretched scribbler in last Monday's paper , ask 3 about , or rather hints at , the expenditure of the pay which I bad received from Mr . Stnrge for my services . Now my friends , I have no secrets with yon ; neither have I with Mr . Sturge ; and therefore I may tell vou exactly what I did receive from Mr . Stnrge , and " when you bear in mind that I spent nearly three weeks , at three different times , in Nottingham" and district , for the purpose of aiding in Mr . Sturge ' s return ., yon will say whether or not I have been even paid for my services . What I did receive there was just this : " Take nothing from nothiag , and receive just the difference . " Now that election cost me between thirty and forty pouud 3 ; and if Mr . Sturge or any other man for
presumed to offer to remunerate me any attempt to serve your cause , I-wouldtake itas an insult . Solo pnt a stopper in the gaping month of the gaby of the Times , I will give any man one thousand pounds who will produce the lamest , or most indifferent proof that I received a fraction from Mr . Sturge or from any person on his behalf ; and I further extend the reward to any person who will in the lamest way support the assertion . I never in all my life received a fraction of a farthing from either faction , or any agent of theirs . No , no , my loved friends . Thank God , my hands are pure from Whig gold , as the Whigs well know ; and , thank God , they are pure from Tory gold , or the Nottingham election would very speedily have let the cat out of the bag , had they been polluted . And I go further , and assure you , that if any mortal had the insolenee to offer me a bribe for an injury to be done to my party , I would kick Mm down stairs , and expose him to ihe ¦ w orld .
LetTne now lay before you a most important fact . An address , purporting to emanate from the Executire , has appeared in every London paper , I believe without exception ; and comments have been made by many upon the document . Yet has" not one single paper published the address unanimously adopted by the Conference ! Is not this an attempt to destroy ns by suppression of facts ! However , my friends , as I wish the Slar to be a book of reference for my conduct and your actions , 1 now come to lay a few plain facts before you . In the first place , then , on my oath , —and you will believe even my word , —there never has been any , the slightest , consultation , of my knowledge , or , 1 believe , with the knowledge of a single leading
Chartist , about the recent Strike ; on the contrary , it came upon us like a shock , &nd an unwelcome one . But now both parties wonld gladly saddle upon us all the consequence ! "Well , we must bear them like men , whatever be the result . But mark ike tyranny of suppressing all public meetings , and handing us , to whom they were a protection , bound neck and heels , over to the press for destruction . Does not the increased hostility of the Whig press , which is the Anti-Corn Law press , prove that we , the Chartists , have frustrated the Repealers in tbeirjendeavonr to make tools of ns 1 Suppress the expression of public opinion , and of course the popnlar cause mnst die ; but , in order to keep it alive , I have succeeded in the fair performance of one man ' s daiy . I promised you a daily paper to meet the last session of Parliament . I was disappointed
however , in my endeavours to establish one ; but bow behold . my friends , I have accomplished my object . The Evening Slar is now shooting above the horizon ; to it yon must look as a substitute for suppressed opinion . You will , no doubt , read the address of the proprietors with delight , in which you are informed that the paper is to support the six points of the Charter , name and all , and has taken " No surrender" for its motto , and that its management and entire control is placed in my hands . It is as large as the Globe or the Standard ; it is a stamped paper , published daily , and sold for threepence . Make it then , my friencs , the organ of onr party . Take it at your clubs—your news-rooms , and yonr reading rooms ; and , as the keepers of aristocratic houses are compelled to suit the taste of their readers , do yeu also make " mine host" provide your favourite dish , for
yon . I nave another word to say about the Strike . Bear in mind that one of the Corn Law Conference relied npon a strike of the colliers as a means of ensuring a repeal of the Corn Laws . Bear in mind . that of all classes the colliers were not Chartists ; and bear in mind , that the colliers were the first to strike ; and that the mining districts have been the head quarters of the League ' s emissiaries . Now , never loss sight of these iacts ; for assuredly we must and will have satisfaction for tha blood that has bean shed : and if no other man does . I will
endeavour to have a full , fair , and impartial Parliamentary inquiry into the cause of the recent Strike , and who the originators were . I can give much e-ridence myself , and especially as regard * Preston , where blood has been shed . Beesley , M'Douall , and Leach will corroborate the fact , that , after my tour in North Lancashire , I apprised them of the machinations of the League , especially at Preston . In strong confirmation of all , on Thursday last , as I was returning from Manchester , a gentleman accosted me , on the platform of the Birmingham Station , and
said" Well , Mb . O'Coksob , do toc thine , that this -hove will fbightkn slb robkst , and get the Whigst back again ! I replied" No , the masters have caused this Revolution for our destruction . " "Nat , " said he , sor so , but we musk't abide IHE TOST SWAT FOB AtfOTHJEB SEASON . " . . Thus , then , my friends , is Chartism placed between ti » two fixes ; disappointed Whiggery looking for ofite , and Toryism in the plenitude of its power ; bat still by our prudence we will stand the double -fire and remain unscorched . In order , however , to insure the safety of our party , and to mar the ma-* &natioBs of onr enemies , we must not be fool-*** dj » The leaders must not allow the taunts and -4 * 6 * 1 of iaeir open foes and insincere friends to en-Sfsp them into anraets of violence . That is just
tow toe Whigs wish . Their game is , let but the ¦ lones go on exasperating the people , and then , on a « hoisfrof evils , they will throw themselves upon ttsforsoeeour . They know our terms . I propounded « ea whilst in York Castle : —thirty out-and-out ¦ Ch artists ia theHonsej to give expression to the popular voice 1 and away go the Tories , and for f ver ! but upon no other terms will I , for one , join Jn displacing one party to make room for as bad one . My friends , although I would not care one farthing if every letter that I ever Teoeived upon public business was placed upon the market-cross , yet I muBt eoaplain that all my letters , and they are very few HOW , aie opened * t some post-office . This-was done by the Whigs in 1839 , during the sitting of the first Convention , when I received some most seditious e » stles , many of them purporting to come from

officers , stating that , if once out , the soldiers would fight for the people . I invariably sent those letters with my compliments to the Home-Office for a second perusal : This was my protection ; and now I would advise every man , who may receive suspicions letters of the nature to which I refer , to transmit them at once open through the post to the place from whence they came , and at every meeting that you can attend pass resolutions , that you will not join in any secret association , or allow strangers to mix among you , or address you , for believe me treacherv
will be abroad . I rejoice , most heanily do I rejoice , at the statesman-like address with which the Trades delegates of Manchester dosed their sittings . That was the way to insure respeotand confidence . Would you battle oppression at fearful odds i Then why refuse to bring judgment to the aid of yonr cause ? These men have really proved themselves worthy the character of statesmen , patriots , and legislators ; and e ' er long their prudent and magnauimous conduct will cause all the Trades of the empire to rally round their standard .
My friends , when the work of desolation ends then do my troubles begin : and as aforetime , bo now . Bear in mind , then , that many , very many , of our poor friends have fallen into the pit of the enemy ; 'We must endeavour to rescue them ! the best counsel must be had for their defence , and for those money is necesssary . Once more , then , I offer myself as Treasurer to a Defence Fund—no profitable office to me—and I invite every man , loving justice and a fair trial , to remit his mite without
delay , " by post office order , addressed for me at Mr . John Cleave ' s , 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet street , London . Mind , as in the case of Frost , this cannot be delayed to the last moment . Let it , therefore , be set about at once , for assuredly the victims shall not perish without a defence ; and as meetings are prohibited for a season , each court of justice , as in 1839—40 , will be a Chartist meetinghouse . I request all good Chartists to communicate anything worthy of publication to the office of the Evening Star , 252 , Stand , London .
In conclusion , my beloved friends , be united , be sober , be wise , be peaceful , and no power on earth can hold you in bondage . Our disunion , and not their strength , give your enemies the advantage over you . From henceforth then , and fer ever , let every man who would perpetuate disunion in our ranks be scouted from them as traitors . For my part , I shall not even condescend to answer any , the most vituperative attack upon me . I tell you , again and again , that you have Tory spies and Whig mischief-makers among you . Disappoint them , I pray you . 1 trust that my appeal for a Defence Fund will be rest > onded to by all .
In London all meetings are put down for tho present , but public opinion will not long remain under a bushel . By all means teach the shopkeepers that they have a direct interest in the well-being and wellpaying-of the labourer . , Your faithful Friend , Feargus O'Comjob . Hammersmith , Aug . 23 . 1842 .

HUDDEBSFIBtD . —Miraculous Escapb — About five 0 dock oa Tuesday afternoon , a lady and gentleman stepped into a gig at the top of the town , for the purpose of returning home to Bradford ; they had no sooner got in than the horse took fright and set off at a tremendous rate down Kirkgate until it came to some iron pallisades opposite the the Saddle Inn , which were torn up , stones and all . The animal proceeded ( managed by the gentleman who still held the reins ) until opposite thr church , when the wheel of the gig was locked within the wheel of a cart loaded with stones ; the driver was thrown out unhurt , and tbe lady lifted out without any injary except fright . The shafts of the gig were broken , but no further injury sustained .
ItKFiPS . —Stealing TeoLS . —On Tuesday last , a man named Joseph Bathos , a journeyman shoemaker , was charged beforo the Leeds Borough magistrates with having stolen a quantity of shoemakers tools , the property of two fellow workmen , named Buck and Richardson . The prisoner , along wich the prosecutors , had been lodging at No . 10 , Upper Towerset-street , and on Saturday week he took the liberty of bolting with the took in question . He was apprehended in Bradford , on Monday , and the tools found ai his lodgings . He was committed for trial .
Sudden Death . —Oh Monday last , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Hannah , the wife of Christopher Smith , residing in the Leylands . The deceased was thirty-four years of age , and has for some time been in very delicate health . On Saturday evening last , she left home about half-past nine o'clock , to go to market with her husband ; she wasi then not well , and whilst in tha market was taken so bad as to render her removal home necessary . She had some tea , and went to bed directly , and was found dead in twenty minute * aftpr she had got to bed . Verdict , 4 Died by ihe visitation of God . "
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . Bbotheb Chabtists , —The events of the last ten days are known to you . The Conference dissolved , tbe address of the Executive appeared , and tho President of the Association -was arrested ; not because any law had been violated , but simply because the truth had been told in undisguised language to an exasperated people . It appears that a warrant was issued against me , and no doubt all tha members of the Executiva I did not see much propriety in quietly submitting to imprisonment , / when my strvices might be required ; and my friends would not allow me to run the chance ;
therefore I walked round the gaping jacks in office , and escaped with the utmost ease . I have not been idle . We have had our encampments in the fastnesses of tbe mountains , where onr enemies could not listen , and dare not come ; where the wild beauties of nature conveyed freshnsss and vigour to the understanding ; where we could both in sorrow and safety brood over the affliction of our country , and anxious ]/ study the best means of destroying the tyranny of ages ; and -where we were brought nearer to the great spirits of our forefathers who lodged with the moorcock and housed themselves in caves , whilst bravely contending for civil and religious liberty in days of blood , and strife , and battle . Oa ! for the glorious doings of our fathers , for the onconquered spirits of the dead .
Is this glorious land to be for ever enslaved , and its everlasting doom to be written on the bloody pavement Of its cities ? Arouse ye Englishmen , and hand in band assist your brethren ef Wales and Scotland , resolve to be free . You need only resolve . What care we about landlord or league now . The Charter is of higher import than tbe contentions of ancient and modern pluderers . We stand thus—The strike was one tor wages—for tho repeal of the corn laws . Had we stood idly by we would have served the League . Had we opposed the Strike altogether , we would haved served the landlords . We did neither , we were consistent to our cause , just to ourselves , and faithful to out country . We ¦ either hung fire , nor damned with faint praise , but boldly , wisely , and timely determined the strite should yield , what fruits were in tbe womb of futurity for Chartism . That is the sole reason of tho course I have followed , with my colleagues .
Who can accuse us ? Who wonld have accused us had the movement driven the Government to repeal the corn laws ? All—because then it would have been said " why not have had the Charter as well ? " It is true we have bad arrests . What of that ? A step further and the only arrest would have been by the bullet or the sword . -But revolution was not ripe as it was in France . The middle class oppose as still , and the trades are not ¦ wholly with us . Either or both are necessary to tbe succcessof a revolution , therefore I approved of , and supported the recommendation of the Conference and Trades for peace , law , and order , not from conviction that injustice demanded peace , robbery , obedience to the Government , or starvation order amongst the people ; not for fear of of the army , of marauders , but
simply because I trembled for a defenceless undis * ciplined and unarmed people who are too poor to purchase justice , too weak to demand it , and too submissive even to avail themselves of tbe means of protection legally afforded te every man for the defence ef his home and his liberty . None complain of a cessation of labour until the Charter shall become the law . They know that such a resolution is merely figurative or else a declaration of war . If the . latter ;' -: it is the announcement of battle , and that would be stone versus bullet , bludgeon versus bayonet . AcGordingto the observation I have made throughout the country , I cannot recommend that course , or indeed any one which is certain to fail ; nor would I advise masses of unarmed men again to parade in face of the military .
J have sure information , even oh ihe top of Ihe mountain where I write , that ihe authorities intend commencing the mills J » the south of Lancashire Jirst , and when they have started them , ihe TKUSTWOfiTliy opebativ . es in them art to be armed ; then ; the soldiers are ( 0 be withdrawn to the north und elsewhere , to force the people to work at the point of ihe bayonet , und to sJiew no mercy ( suck is the ruthless order of the Lord Lieutenant J to man , u-oTnan , or child . : There now , ye stone-and-bludgeon bearers , what think you of that ? What is England come to ? What have you been abo&t ? and what do you intend to do ? My opinion is unshaken as before . It ib as follows : — First , the people cannot contend against the soldiers , and therefore peace , Jaw , and order are wise , although degrading .
Secondly , every engine should be at : work to exhaust the supplies of the Government , by running for gold , and issuing of paper promises to pay by the Trades , or are societies who withdraw their money from circulation . It must be plain that if it is spent when drawn , it goes back to the old shop again . Take all the gold , and give nothing but promissory notes or old rags to the shopkeeper . Thirdly , instead of begging , the shopkeepers and others should be requested to send provisions to a common store fdw will refuse , as on resuming work exclusive dealing is snre to be turned against them , if nothing worse befals them . Trust to thbir fears and evade the Vagrancy Act .
Fourthly , the people sheula , when deterred from meeting , publicly meet in streets and wards , in the most commodious houses , and discuss tho news as well as devise fresh means of passive resistance . Fifthly , they should haV 8 messages exchanged between town and town and believe no rumour . Sixthly , one resolute motion should Le put to all meetings , pledging them to the Charter , and when so many ears are open , the great truths of Chartism should ba unsparingly poured into them . In conclusion , I may remark that I support a continuance of the Strike , chitny because of my belief that some event may yet arise which wo little dream of , which may run like wildfire through the nation and leave us victorious . The longer the people of the north aTeont , the chances multiply of London and Birmingham striking , and the whole of the south being made duly acquainted with our movement .
Scotland is shaking herse / f for the struggle , and toe strike there is the most extensive that has yet occurred ; Ireland takes no part yet . Wales is half asleep . The continuance of the Strike affords time for fate to m > rk her slow , but certain , web around the tyrant ' s den . The cessation of the Strike will not last , becnuse wages will be more and more reduced ; therefore , We will loBe nothing let tbe result be either way : but "which ever way it tends , prepare , prepare , prepare . The Strike is one event which With a flash bsgins , and ends in amoke . Another out of smoke brings glorious light , And fast raising expectation high , Surprises us with dazzling miracles . - P . M . M'DOUALL .

' ' ¦ The public meeting , of which I spoke in mylaist , was held last night , in the Charter-square , and a glorious meeting it was , there being present from four to five thousand persons . A number of policemen ih disguise were recognised among the crowd , as were also , many of the ' respectables' ef the town . I am informed upon good authority that the police from all the surrounding neighbourhood were stationed at a public-house at a short distance from the town , ready for active service in case of need . Such a case did sot occur , however , thanks to the prudence and good temper of the people . Mr . J . Rawlings , at the appointed time , was unanimously called to to the chair . After a few appropriate remarks , he introduced , ¦ r : : Mr . W . Dyer , to propose the following resolution : —
" That we , the people of Trowbridge , in public meeting assembled , do hereby express the deep regret we feel on account of the privations and anfierings of our brethren in the manufacturing diBtrictjB , caused as we balreye these privations and aafferinga to be , by the anti-Corn Law League and the Government .

The splendid concert room , tho balcony , and every other portion of the building was crowded to excess ; over the platform was fixed on the wall a banner , containing the motto , "Peace , Law , and C ) rder . " : ¦ ; : Shortly before seven o'clock , the Committee , accompanied by Thomas Dunepmbe , Esq M . P > arid Feargiis O'Connorj Esq . inide their appearance upon tho platform and were greeted with loud and long continued cheers . . ¦ ¦ ¦'¦ ¦' . ¦ .: , ¦• ¦ , '¦ . '¦ , ¦ - : ; . ¦ ¦; . -
Mr , Rogers , having boeri elected to tho chair , commenced by ; stating that the present were ticklish times , but that undtT their banner of " peace , law , and order s" they would be certain to conquer . The present meeting had been legally con veiled according to Act of Parliament ; and that no pretence m'ght be left to the authorities to commit the follies , not to say the outrages ^ which had been transacted within the last few days , he had transmitted a copy of : th& bill , calling the meeting , with the following note to Sir James Graham : — . " '¦' . " " ¦ I hereby transmifi you a list of the cpnveriera of the Finsbury meeting . J ; : "Your obedient seryani , , ' - ¦'¦ "¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ; .,: ¦ ¦' ' : : -j-, ' : ¦ : .. '" ' " Sam .

To that note he had received no answer , and fee theittfoTe presumed that tVi 9 meeting was leKal , even in the estimation of tho fastidious Baronet . Mr . Rogers then v ? ent on to show that the electors should use the power which the law conferred upon them for the benefit of the whole community . Ihey could gain no true infflrmation of the origin or progress of the present unhappy state of affairs in the North , from the rascally newspapers of the day ; but they well kiiewj that the icause of them Ayas clasalegislation . The piople would never b > in 8 . state of contentment or pibsperity UBtil their grievances were removed , and the electors and persons of property ¦ -ought to be the first and not the last to asaist them . . Tha mass of the people hai nothing to lose , and if those who had property did not look to the interest of the working men . they might , in the confusion which would inevitable ensue , lose that which they now possessed ^ ( cheers . )
Mr . Moore read a note from Mr . 'Waldeyi , stating that severe indisposition kept him from attending the meeting , but hia best wishes were with them , and he was convinced that if there was not shorily a Radical Reform of tho representative system of the House of C ° » nnipns , it would be impossible to retain peace and order , but that the best interests of the nation would bo involved in one common confusion and ruin . Class legislation had beeu the curse of the millions / ;; Mr . Savage rose to move the first resolution , but was interrupted with cries of" Adjourn ; " but the Chairman having appealed to them upoa the inconvenience it would create , Mr . Savage
proceeded hy assorting that ; the present were critical times , and that they needed tho assistance of all good and patriotic men . It was almost impossible to deliberate calmly upon the scenes occurring in the North , unless they were at a distance from the scene of action , They had not in the North the liberty of meeting as they Were then meeting . It almost mado the mind shudder to reflect on the scenes which had occurred , but he urged them to persevere in their peaceful agitation until they had achieved a certain remedy . Mr . S . concluded aspeech which was but very imperfectly heard , owing to tho repeated calls for adjournment ^ by moving the folio svihg resolution : ~
" That this meeting learns with sorrow and dismay , that nearly the whole ol" the manufacturing population . havo foregone their usual industrial occupations ¦"; that the discontent of the peoplo has in some places broken out into Open violence ; that encouniers have taken place , accompanied with loss of life ; that , in fact , civil war is raging throtlghout a large portion of Great Britain , so as to threaten an effectual destruction of security of proparty in all parts of the kingdom . " , . V-. The cries for an adjournment now became so general , that the immense bpdy took possession of the gardens attached to the house , and the Committee and speakers addressed them from tho balcony . At this period hot less than from ten to fifteen thousand persons werein the ground , and many thousands outside unablo to procure admission . ;
Order having been restored , the resolution was put , seconded inan excellent speech by Mr . VValker , and carried unanimously amid loud cheoring . Mr . Watson in an address of consicierable ability moved the following resolution : — , : " That this meeting without pretending to judge accurately Of the - ' . immediate causa of this Sudden out-break , finas no difficulty in deoiding that the remote , all-powerful , and all-producing cause has been class legwlatibn , which by promoting class intere : ts at the expense of genera ) interests has at length produced such ah extreme exhaustion of the resources of the whole body , that general pressure haa produced geneiul distress ; class has been set against class , man against man , by sectional and individual enu ' eavours to escape the general distress . "
He trusted that tho example set by the electors of Finsbury would be followed throughout the empire , and the working men would then be enabled to hold their meetings and express their grievances without poBiing into collision with the authorities . Mr . Pisher briefly seconded the resolution , which was unanimously adopted . Mr . West inoved , and Mr . Witz seconded the next resolution : — ; ¦ ' ; :. ' ^ ' ¦ ' / . . ¦ ' . " . '' ry / :. . , " "That this meetuig have no hopes of remedy in the measures hitherto pursued—nt > hope of peace in the poor destroying the factories or residences of the rich , because the owners can give no greater wages than the demands of class legislation leave
them the power of doing—cor do we see any hope of peace in the rich coercing the poor because they endeavour to avoid starvation . - Tlieso are the means ^ of aggravating the evils , which in the opinion of the meeting , can Only be remedied by removing cla ? s legislaMon ; and they are of an opinion that a petition fouiided on the above resolutions bo presented to the Qaeen , praying Her Majesty to be graciously pleased immediatel y to convene Parliament , and take means for . securing to the people such a ropresentation as will bo iu oonformity with the prayer of the petitioa presented to the House of Commons last session , and which p ^ titiou Was sighed by four millions of her Majesty's loyal subjects . *' - ' : ' ¦ ¦ .

MR . CAMPBELL TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . We have received tho following from Mr . Campbell : — Bbotheb Democrats , —You will pardon me for addressing you at this important crisiSi My reason for «> doing is , if possible , to amalgamate all classes of Reformers to obtain the one grand object , viz ., the Charter ; and I now crave your most serious consideration to the «» ntents of this letter . The country is in a most awful condition , brought about solely by class legislation ; brought on , not by WhigSj not by Tories , not by millowners , not by paraons , not by landlords , or bankers , or government .
separately ; but by the united influence of all those classes , whose sole aim and end is to rob the masses . Now , mind , I wish to be most distinctly understood , that at a crisis like the present , I will not attach all the blame of this extensive Btrike to the Anti-Corn Law League , any more than I would to the landlords . No , no , my friends ; both are alike gnilty ; the landlords wish to keep np high prices in ^ sorn , to enable them to get high rents , and thus rob the people . The Corn Law Repealers wish to have free trade in corn to enable them to tob the people . —Arcades ambo , —and it matters not to me a single pin , whether the Com Law Repealers originated the strike or not , it is our duty as Batons , as freemen , as Char-
