TO the Worshipful the MAGISTRATES acting in and for the DIVISION of MIDDLETON. in the County of LANCASTER, in PETTY SESSION assembled at the Flying Horse Inn, in Rochdale, within the said County. The Memorial of the Overseers and Select Vestries of the Townships of Butterworth, Castleton, Spotland, Wuerdle and Wardle, and Wardleworth, in Meeting assembled, at Tweedale's Hotel, Rochdale, January 1, 1841. Humbly show eth— That since the very heavy increase of the County-rate, mainly occasioned by the introduction of the new constabulary force, the Overseers and Colleetors of these Townships have found the greatest difficulties in collecting the Poors-rate, so as to meet the various demands upon it. That the Ratepayers are serious sufferers from this additional tax, which, if persevered in, will involve in ruin many indus trious families. That your Memorialists are of opinion that the condition of the people in these Townships requires that some means of alleviating their distress should be adopted and nothing appears so likely to forward that object as relieving them from the ex penses of the above-named force. That this meeting being fully assured of the inutility of the new force, and more especially being convinced of the inability of these Townships to support so extravagant an es tablishment, humbly beg that your Worships will be pleased to take such steps as to you may seem most advisable, for the abo lition of the new Constabulary force in this County. And your Memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. Signed on behalf of the Meeting, SAMUEL STAN DRING, Chairman. PUBLICATIONS.

THE NEWPORT CONVICTS, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I, a country Chartist, have just read the letter in your Paper of Jan. 19, of a London Chartist. Whether in town or country, Chartists are all one as to " the Charter ;" in all other matters they may differ, as heads and faces differ. I agree with my London brother so far as thinking that poor Frost suffered rather for the headlong folly of some of our brother Chartists than for his own ; but I dis agree with my brother in his opinion of the Whig Ministry, whom I deem far more worthy of Frost's punishment, for having prosecuted him,than was Frost himself. In the case of Frost and his companions, law and a jury weigh as nothing in my mind. Ino more believe that Frost sought to take and ransack Newport, than I believe it to be the Whig Ministers' determination to keep their places, though at the imminent hazard of the Crown—which I do not at all be lieve, despite my low opinion of them ; or than I believe that the design of the great meeting at Leeds on this day is to throw all the country into confusion, and, if possible, at least to annihilate the bread-taxing landlords. A jury of Tories would no doubt bring all the principals of that meeting in guilty, if the principals used such language as you, to your high honour, have been continually using, and if the Attorney-General prosecuted for sedition: Frost mean to dethrone the Queen, or to take Newport ! All Chartists whom I know scorn and scout the thought. But the prosecuting Whig Attorney-General would have it so; and the jury would have it so; and the most ridiculous law in the world for all things but its hor rible penalties, would have it so ; and the present corrupt state of the franchise, allowing no unbiassed jury of their peers to the masses, would have it so; and thus, in my own most sincere belief, and in the utterly immoveable conviction, I am certain, of the masses, poor Frost was basely condemned to death, and reprieved to what was, probably, at the time, worse to him than death, and has been transported to a convict settlement by a Government deaf to the supplication of a million and a quarter of the people, backed, as they were believed, and known by them selves to be, by far greater numbers 1 I cannot, therefore, join my London brother Chartist in thanking the Whigs for what they have done—on the contrary, I execrate them ; yet will I give them my aid in keeping the Tories out, and from my soul will I thank them, and ever with all my might will I labour to keep them in, if they will restore Frost, and striver honestly and their best to abolish the accursed Corn-laws, and to make every honest Eng lishman, Irishman, and Scotchman in the United Empire free, by securing to him a free and unembarrassed vote in the Government of the country.

LEEDS, THURSDAY EVENING.—This has been made a day of very great interest, if not of importance, both by the Reformers and the Chartists. You tare aware that it hos been fcr some time in contemplation to hold a meeting in this town, at which all classes of Reformers might co operate ; and it was proposed that there should be a union of all those who agreed in opinion that there ought to ho conceded to the people Vote by Ballot, Household Suf frage, no property qualification, and re-distribution of the electoral districts. To give the greater effect to these principles, it was determined that various Members of Par liament should be invited to attend. This demonstration gave great displeasure to the Chartists, not of this town, who arc, I believe, few in number, but to all in the sur rounding districts, and who have the advantage of read ing Mr. O'Connor's paper. All these persons have been urged on and incited to assail Mr. O'Connell especially, because he has given offence to Mr. Feargus O'Connor, and has before now spoken in the strongest terms of cen sure against the Chartists themselves. But no description can give an adequate idea of the violence of the language used against Mr. O'Connell. I therefore send to you a copy of one of the placards issued and circulated by the friends and admirers of Feargus O'Connor " WORKING NEN OF YORKSHIRE. " Producers of wealth, but bearers of the slave-mark ! You have toiled long and arduously to better your condition, and to remove the slave-mark of inferiority from your brow. " To accomplish this you have held out the right hand of fellowship to all and every one who offered or promised to render you aid. "To this end, you have often attached yourselves to the middle classes ; have suffered them to lead you, and to em ploy the power you possess—irresistible when rightly directed —to the accomplishment of schemes for their own aggrandise ment. " You never yet, though, formed an alliance with the mid- Ale classes that they did not betray you, and sell the power you had placed in their hands for benefits in which they always denied you the slightest participation. " These same middle classes are again trying to coax you into alliance with them, that they may again use your power in the way they have hitherto always used it. " The operations and the workings of the present system, which have ground you to the dust, have also begun to twitch the middle classes : they feel uneasy, and wish to throw off the burden thus cast upon them—but at your expense. " To accomplish this object, they have engaged the powers of blarney and humbug possessed by the most hollow of all friends;' the most mercenary of all traffickers; the most de ceitful of all hypocrites ;—the man who, for years, has lived upon the miseries, the wrongs, the tears, the groans, the wast ing flesh and blood, of his fellow men. _ _ This friend,' Daniel O'Connell ! sold the political right of 300,000 forty-shilling freeholders of Ireland for a seat in Parliament for himself and his tools ; and thus procured the turning out of their holdings upon the wide world, as vagrants and wanderers, thousands upon thousands of his brave country men. " - 1 his hollow-hearted friend exerted his blood-and-life bound power to prevent the establishment of a rightly-grounded Poor-law for the relief of these vagrants and wanderers, hoping thus to starve them off the face of the earth, that they might no longer remain living-in-death monuments of his unparalleled treachery. . . . . . . " This personification of Deceit constituted himself the • Factory Child's Chancellor,' and then sold their blood, their tears, their lives for 1,000/. !! which he received, full tale, from the millowners of Manchester, though conscious that every copper of the sum was the Devil's price for an im mortal soul ! " This foul-mouthed traducer of everything good, every thing virtuous, had the monstrous hardihood to declare that out of every twenty English women who were married, nine teen of them were mothers before the marriage knot was tied !' " This cowardly trickster, when you sent a missionary to hold out the hand of fellowship to the working men of Ireland, in their own metropolis, in order to a good understanding and unity of action between both sections of the operative commu nity, packed the meeting room with his hired tools, and refused to hear the voice of your ambassador of peace. " This disgrace to the human form, when your faithful friend Frost was betrayed by Government spies into the hands of the soldiery at Newport, and when twenty of your brethren were laid dead upon the field by their murderous fire, this' man' (?) set up a yell of savage satisfaction, and blurted out Serve 'esti right ! Serve 'em right ! 0! I thank God it was my own boys, under Sergeant Daly, who did it I' " This hideous lump of hypocrisy took the chair at a public meeting, in the year 1829, in London, at which the Political Union for the attainment of Universal Suffrage was formed ; he also was one of six members of Parliament who drew up the People's Charter,' telling you to agitate for, and procure its passing into a law ; when you did as he bid you, and your ' arritation had become so formidable as to alarm f action, this horrible dissimulator turned round, and denounced both you and Universal Suffrage, and offered to bring 500,000 Irishmen into England, to put you down ; to force you to tamely bear the wrongs and sufferings which injustice and want have in flicted upon you ! " Producers of wealth ! • This is the man whom the middle classes have engaged to wheedle yuu again into their clutches; that, conjointly, they may again make merchandise of you—again sell you. " In aid of this, he and they are to meet in Leeds on Thurs day, the 21st. T. frustrate "-'', a IlleQting /ow, order has been con vened, in the same town, on the -same day. - - " At that meeting, it is intended to tell the middle classes that their days of betrayal and deceit are over; that the working classes have set up in business' for themselves, and that they will never again give themselves to the guidance or into the power of any other class. " It is also intended at that' meeting to tell that mendacious lump of selfishness and deceit, Daniel O'Connell, of the estima tion in which he is holden by the working men of England and Scotland, and their wives ; For this purpose deputies from every part of those two kingdoms will be present, to ' re gister a vow in heaven' never again to trust him ; never again to work with him, or have any, the slightest, connection with him. " Operatives of Yorkshire ! "To that meeting you are called ! To that meeting you will come ! If you love honesty and hate deceit ; if you respect up rightness and discountenance dissimulation ; if you feel for your babes, love your wives; regard with jealous watchful ness the fair name of your virtuous daughters, to that meeting you will come. You will come and tell the barterer of his countrymen's political rights for Parliamentary seats—the cause of the extirpation and death of the elonewith freehold ers, the refuser of the relief of a good and humane Poor law, the seller of the lives of your factory children for 1,000/., the traducer of your wives and daughters, the gloater ever the blood spilt by murderous spies at Newport, the doubly damned traitor, who first set you to agitate for Universal Suffrage, and then denounced you and it, offering 500,000 men to put you down—you will come and tell the hideous monster, who has wrung hundreds of thousands of pouncts, from his miserable, naked, starving, famishing countrymen ; and whom he has kept in this condition that he may continue to suck their blood—you will come and tell him, in terms not to be misunderstood, that you know him : and that he is wel come te all the execrations which chastity, honesty, and up rightness can pour upon his head ! Come and speak out ; right out; and let the betrayer know that his day is gone !" Another moans resorted to for exciting the passions of the populace has been the publication of caricatures. One of them is cleverly done, and with very 'great spirit. It describes the place of meeting in the evening, on which Mr. O'Connell stands, as on the front of a stage, while he is speaking to an assemblage composed of none but geese, who are hissing at him ; and behind him stands Feargus O'Connor engaged in depriving him of a very handsome peacock's tail, with which he is decorated.—The Char tists held a soiree in the Music Saloon, South Parade, on Wednesday evening. There was a very thin attendance. After tea the Rev. William Hill was called to the chair. He said as several strangers from a distance intended to address the meeting, he would call upon Mr. Moir, from Glasgow, to speak the sentiments of "The people, the only source of power." Mr. Moir spoke at considerable length ; he alluded to the time when the Whigs aroused the country from centre to circumference, and whilst agitating for the Reform Bill declared out and out for the principle of Universal Suffrage. At :that time he said the Whigs of Glasgow memorialized his Majesty Wil liam IV., and in a resolution, calmly and deliberately drawn up, told him that they wore ready to arm to a man for the obtaining of that measure which the Tories had rejected. This was the way in which the Whigs of those days spoke of physical force. At a meeting, held on the green of Glasgow, at which two hundred thousand at tended, such a resolution was put and unanimously adopted. Mr. Moir spoke of another resolution to which the Chartists of Glasgow had agreed on the Bth instant, namely, never to agitate for less than the full measure of justice, and by all means in their power to prevent others from agitating for less also. Mr. Moir contended that the people were as fit at present to exercise the franchise as they will be forty-five years hereafter.—Mr. John Collins followed, and was received with rapturous applause. He spoke to the sentiment, " The Charter, may it soon become the law of the land." As he would have an opportunity of addressing them to-morrow, and further, as he had complied with a request to deliver a course of lectures in Leeds and its neighbourhood, he would not make a long speech to night. Ile alluded to the policy and importance of his subject, r.nd the folly and impoliey of agitating for an ex tension of the franchise less than universal suffrage.-11c was followed by Mr. Mason, of Newcastle. " Frost, Williams, and Jones, their speedy return to their native country," was his subject. He eulogised Frost as a man, a husband, a father, and a patriot, and hoped that, though at a distance of 16,000 miles, Frost and his exiled com panions might yet have the pleasure of visiting the land of their birth.—" Feargus O'Connoe," " all the imprisoned Chartists," " the Northern Star and the Chartist news paper press," and " the memory of Cobbett, Hunt, Paine, and the other noble spirits who in less auspicious days had advocated the cause of the people," were seve rally dwelt upon by different speakers. Thu meeting was quite orderly throughout. A vote of thanks was awarded Mr. Ilill for his conduct in the chair. Ile returned the compliment, and requested that the Chartists would thank him more substantially to-morrow, by meeting him more numerously. The meeting dispersed shortly after ten o'clock. Considering the efforts that have been made for so many weeks, I certainly expected that a great demonstration of physical force would be made by the Chailists. I have been greatly disappointed, foe notwithstanding they had band: parading the streets all the morning, still they were not able to collect at Hal beck-moor, their pluce of meeting, more than three Thousand persons. lam quite sure I over estimate their numbers, although I heard a half-drunken Chartist, who stood beside me on t he hustingi, declare that there could not be Ices than fifty thousand present! This is, however, n very common mode of calculation "in the north." The hour appointed for tie Chartist meeting was eleven o'clock ; but there was not a single being, except , ing three females, at that time to be seen near the•hus tinge. It was not until one that they came upon the moor, headed by their military bands—they call them " the PRICE sd. Platoff bands." They carried with them a great number of banners, on which there were various inscriptions, but none so peculiar as to be deserving of description. At one o'clock it was moved that Mr. Hobson, the pub lisher of the Northern Star, be called to the chair. The motion was agreed to by a show of hands. Ile then read the requisition for the meeting, and ob served that Mr. O'Connell and others had drawn up the basis of the Charter, and then sent it forth to the world, asking them to strive and to agitate for the purpose of passing it into law. They had done so, and showed they were determined to have that which they w re bid to ask for ; and when that was seen, it was said that Household Suffrage should be asked for. The first move was made at Leeds, and now the people were determined to concen trate, and therefore there were delegates from all other parts of the country to trice pre sin the proceedings. He read a list of the delegates. The names of Collins, Leech, Degan, end others, were received with loud cheers. Mr. CLARKSON, of Bradford, moved the first resolution. He said he would not occupy their time with any senti ments of his (inn, and would, therefore, read the resolution, which was this:—" That we, the working people of the West Riding of the county of York, as well as of the rest of England and Scotland, represented by their several dele gates, in public meeting assembled, do hereby resolve, front this day forth, not to join in, or countenance, any agitation for any measure other than the accomplishment of Univer sal Suffrage; being well convinced, that so long as one an an's property constitutes another man's title to vote, the owner of such property will have it in his power to exercise a de structive influence over the elective franchise; thereby (however speciously right may be said to be conferred,-or however secretly its use may be exercised) leaving an un just control in the hands of the owners of suffrage pro perty ; and which, in point of fact, was the one evil prin ciple sought to be abolished by the Reform Bill." This showed that the meeting was pledged to support the Char ter, and nothing but the Charter.—(Cheers.) They were all satisfied that the Reform Bill had been a failure. —( Hear, hear.) He thought if they agitated but Uni versal Suffrage it would be a very long time before they got anything else. Mr. JOHN KNOWLES, of Keith, seccnded the resolution. He said he was a working man, and he was an advocate for the Charter, and, young as he was, had been so for eight years at least, and was determined to continue to be so. He said, let them be determined, however O'Connell might try to persuade them, that nothing less than the Charter should be the law of the land.—(Cheers.) They would show the shopkeepers that they would be peaceable and carry their object. Mr. COLLINS, of Birmingham, was received with loud cheers. He said he had never met with so many circum stances to afford him pleasure as within the last twenty-four hours. He saw men prudently and calmly determined to possess the rights of freemen. He was himself not an old man, but he remembered a time when working men tried to pass themselves off as gentlemen : but circumstances within the last twelve years Lad taught workmen that it was an honour, not to be gentlemen, but to do their duties to so ciety.—(Cheers.) Ho was appointed at Birmingham to represent that town to Leeds during this week. He read the resolution appointing him, and then proceeded to say, that there was to be a meeting that evening, in order that they might have the earliest news of their proceedings that day. They had been told the Reform Bill. would be a stepping-stone to other measures ; and then those whom they had assisted turned round on them and became their opponents : and they, therefore, would not assist in making more enemies to themselves. They asked for what they knew were their rights, and they asked for no more. As honest men they could not hear others reproach them with wishing to tyrannise over them. They were called Destructives, and it was said they wished for a distribution of property ; but they who said this knew it was a calumny ; for they well knew that if there was not security for property there would be no reward for labour. Again, they were made responsible for the acts of those who were not of the working classes : for instance, they were charged with the crimes of the gipsies and others, who were not more of the working classes than the parsons were.—( Cheers.) Ile was ad monished by the Chairman that others were to fellow him, and, therefore, he would give way to them. Ho bad waited on the gentlemen who got up the meeting at Mar shall's-mill, and he found they had abandoned their resolu tion upon Household Suffrage. It was agreed that the Chartists should have as many speakers as they had. This was done because it was thought necessary that something should be done. This showed that those persons were opening their eyes; and one of them said, that by House hold Suffrage he meant a vote for every man who lived under a rooL—(Laughter and cheers.) The working men were determined to have nothing less than the Charter, and by the help of that God who smiles upon a righteous cause, they must_they shall succeed. Mr. O'Neil. would, he said, address the other meeting that evening. He should, therefore, content himself with saying that they were resolved upon abiding by their Char. ter. For this they had been coerced, and had been perse cuted ; and for this some of them were in prison, and some over the Waves. He called on them to uphold their dig nity, and to let honour be their political god. Mr. 13RA:4RLY was happy that his countrymen were re solved to huvo --h the principles of the Charter, To make them triumph they were ready to suer with their friends now in prison who had been entrapped by the Whigs. All they asked for was a fair hearing, and they would give a fair hearing to their opponents, and they would succeed by fair argu ment. As to Household Suffrage, it was only the excuse for other parties who wished to join them. As to O'Con nell, he said, let them give the beast a fair hearing— (Cheers)—for he would be followed by Mr. Lowry, who had gonu to Dublin, where lie could not obtain a hearing; but they would return good for evil. As to the middle classes, if they did not join the working men, the working men would see them dipped before they joined them. Before the resolutio❑ was agreed to, the persons present took off their hats at the desire of the Chairman, and it was then passed by acclamation. Mr. PITTKEITIILEY, of Iluddersfield, moved the next resolution. It was this : " Resolved—That this meeting cannot look upon Messrs. Marshall, Stanfeld, and other capitalists, who have dared to introduce Me. Daniel O'Connell among us (the most profligate politician ever known in this or any other age or country), without feelings of disgust and contempt; well knowing, as expressed by their organ, that the said Mr. O'Connell has shrunk' from every sound principle, and sold to a corrupt Government that political power, which the circumstance of being one of an oppressed religious creed, coupled with the great ignorance in which his poor countrymen have been sedu lously kept, has conferred upon him; thus proving to us that the contemplated end is monopoly ; as ;the proposed means of acquiring it are base, bloody, brutal,' and treacherous in the last. degree." Mr. WITHER HEAD seconded the resolution, He begged those who attended the meeting to-night should, when the brute O'Connell rose to speak, turn their backs upon him, and give him three groans, for he had sold the fac tory children for 1,000/. He would not hurt a bone of O'Connell, but he would give him three horrible groans. _(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. LOWRY said that, notwithstanding their persecution, they were resolved to persevere; for he who commenced labouring for the Charter, and supposed he would not en counter persecution, was a fool.--( Cheers.) There was no distinction between the terms " working men" and " Chartists." The working man, who was a Whig, had no right to appear at a public meeting, for his principles were inconsistent with the declaration. He repeated his opinion, that if there was no security in the cottage there should bo none in the hall. If he was to be imprisoned for not supporting his children, then he said let Prince Albert and the Germans support theirs also. There should be no peace in England until the whole inhabitants were represented in their own Parliament. It might be said that they were poor ; but it was they who produced all the wealth, and, if they had it not, somebody must have robbed them most villainously. He never prattled about constitutions; but his rights 'A ere registered in the court of Heaven, and were as immutable as the source from which they came. Ho said let every man do his share, and that which was difficult for a few would be easy for the many, and no power on earth could resist the might of millions. The resolution passed unanimously: Several other speeches were delivered ; but as the time for the Reformers' meeting was approaching, I left the Chartists still speaking. The following were amongst the resolutions adopted by them ; they also passed an address to the Queen : Resolved, That this meeting, constitutionally representing the working classes of Great Britain, is heartily in favour of a repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Britain and Ireland ; while they will not stir, aid, or join in any plan for its accomplishment recommended by Mr. O'Connell, who, while he has made it a source of personal wealth, has endea voured, by all the artful means in his power, to deter England from acquiescing in the measure ; apd who, though he blusters, vapours, and repeats his oft-told rigmarole to his staff, has just now refused to meet Dr. Cooke in fair discussion upon the question ; thereby proving, either that he is not a friend to the measure, or that he feels his inability to defend it ; while he must be aware that, if successful, such a triumph would be worth ten thousand meetings, where none are allowed to dis sent from him under pain of political excommunie.atien." " 4. Resolved, That this meeting considers the Govern ment of Lord Melbourne as the most cruel, incompetent, reck less, immoral, bloodthirsty, and profligate that has ever held office within the memory of man; and that, therefore, we pledge ourselves to use all the means in our power to relieve her Majesty from the disgrace, and the country from the danger, of being longer governed by the present Administration; and that, in pursuance of such resolution, an address be presented from this meeting to her Majesty, praying that her Majesty may be graciously pleased to dismiss her present advisers, and call to her councils men who will make the support of universal suffrage a pledge of their fitness for office, as the only means of preserving the country from all the horrors of civil war. 5. Resolved, That the address now read be signed by the Chairman, on behalf of this meeting, and presented to her Ma jesty by those persons who shall be appointed to present the addresses on behalf of Frost, Williams, and Jones, and at the same time (that is to say, upon the same day), and that this meeting pledges itself to support the Delegates in this our first and noble endeavour to open a pure and unsullied channel of communication between the Monarch and the people." THE REFORM MEETING. You will have observed, by looking at the speeches made at the Chartist niceting, that a sort of compromise has been entered into, and that there is to be a discussion between the Retort - tiers and the Chartists. I doubt, how ever, that Mr. O'Conneli will be listened to by the latter. I proceed with a description of the place in which I am writing this. The building in which this immense com pany assembled is the new mill just erected by Messrs. Marshall and Co., liar spinners, fronting Marshall-street, Little Holbeek, undoubtedly the largest of any of a similar caistruction in the United Kingdom, and pro- ~~~ - ._,,, EVENING EDITION. bably in the world. The building covers rather met: than two acres of ground, and consists of one entiee room 132 yards in length, and 72 yards in width, witbia the walls. It is divided into 66 squaree of 144 yards each, and lighted by 66 domes. Fifty massive iren pillars support the arched roof. The: portion of the mill set ap ar t f or t h e purpose o f thi s festival, COES!StE of twenty_four of the squares before described, or an area of 3,456 square yards, nearer to Marsh&lle street, which is rather more than one-third of the whole. The form is that of an amphitheatre. The hust ings, for the speakers, are erected on the left of the en trance, at an elevation of about five feet from the floor, the entrance to which is by a flight of steps erected with out the principal entrance. The tickets of admission to this part weic 53., and seats put down for 500 persons. Immediately in front is a desk running the entire length of the platform for the accommodation of the reporters, of whom there are several present from the metropolis end various towns in Lancashire and Yorkshire. The centre of the mill is appropriated to those whose tickets of nd mission are 2s. 6d. and Is. 6d. Seats for 200 1 wet provided for the former, and 1,500 for the latter; Te e entire number for which seats have been provi ded amounts to 8.600, so that, had the whole room been fitted up, nearly 24,000 persons could have assembled. About 200 tons of timber were required for the un dertaking, the value of which is estimated at 1,400/. Over the chair there were in brilliant letters of gas 'ho words, "Justice to one rend to all." It was at half -tee::: four o'clock that Joseph flume, Esq., M. P., John \Yid liares, Esq., M. P., S r George Strickland, Bart., M. P., Sharman Crawford, Esq., J. A. Roebuck, Esq., Gully, E. 4., • Thomas Hardy, Esq., of Birkagate, Middleton, of Middleton Ilall, Henry Cowper Marehei Esq„ George Goodman, Esq., Leeds, J. D. Ross, o f Rosstrevor, T. P. G. Thompson, Esq., Jellies Lees ' Esq., of Delphi Lodge, Hamer Stansfeld, Esq., Dr. Epps, of London, Lieutenant C. P. Ladd, IL N., of Falmouth, P. B. Sanderson, jun., Newcastle, William Perkins, Esq., of Manchester, Councillors Cliff, Hall, Shackleton, White head, Richardson, Mresre. Moir:( Glasgow, ) Collins, O'Neil, Deegan, Barston, and Lowry, Chartist delegates ; and other leading Reformers appeared upon the platform_ They were rcc7:.ivrel by their respective friends on both sides with loud applause. It was not until four o'clock that, the chair was taken by JANIEs G. MARSHALL, Esq. He was received with ap plause and a few groans, and spoke as follows :---Brother Reformers—l cannot look around this vast assemblage and consider that it contains true and ardent friends of liberty, collected from all quarters of Great Britain and Ireland, from London, Birmingham, Manchester, New castle, front Scotland, from Ireland, north and south, and, from our Yorkshire neighbours of Bradford, Halifax, and. Sheffield, without expressing, in the first place, my high delight in witnessing such a noble company of Reformer; as that now met together.—(llear, hear, hear.) The. Members of the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Associatiee feel that in convening this great meeting, they have in curred no small responsibility ; and it is, I am sure, to them a high gratification to see the hearty support and the sanction given to their important undertaking ; by the attendance to-day of so many distinguished- leaders amongst Reformers, both in Parliament and out of it, bear of the middle class and the operatives, as you now lice be fore you on these hustings.—( Hear, hear.) It is my part to say shortly a few words on the motives that actuated the Leeds Association in taking so bold and decided a step as the convening of a general meeting of the friends of liberty and good government from all parts of the coun try. The Reformers of Leeds have, in commute I doubt put, with all who hear me, witnessed with deep regret, the progressive decline, for some years back, of the true spirit of progressive Reform and popular liberty,—( Hear, hear, and hisses. ) However great may be onr disappointment in the results that have been realised by the prwaing of the last Reform Bill, all Reformers must, I think, admit, that there then existed amongst the friends of liberty of all classes of the community an admirable spirit of energy, of union, of ardent devotion to the great com mon cause, that extinguished all minor differences cad selfish interests; and carried triumphantly through a cor rupt and boroughmongering House of Commons, and a Tory House of Peers, what was, for the circumstances of the time a very large measure of Reform.—(Cheers, and cries of "No Whiggery.") Then we saw, in deed, a magnificent display of the irresistible work ing of the moral force, supported by, but controlling and governing, the physical force of a great people. Thatße term Charter, it cannot be denied, is a failure. Fatally mutilated when first passed, it has since beer, abandoned by ton many of its former and foremost supporters, with unworthy apathy and selfishness, an unresisting prey to the corrupt arts and violence of the bitter enemies of popular liberty.—( Cheers.) No honest and sincere attempt has been made to improve and reader efficient the last Reform Bill, by those who had the power to do it. Here, doubt less, was a grievous blow and heavy discouragement to the cause of Reform. To that, in my opinion, is to be attri buted the fatal and disgraceful dissensions that have sinea divided Reformers, and rendered them powerless for any great and good purpose. But what is to be done ? Is it safe to fold our hands, sit still, and trust to the chapter of accidents to help us? Shall wo gain our object if each section of Reformers wraps itself up in its own plans and objects, and treats all others as enemies.—(" Give us the Suffrage and no humbug? ") No, my brother Reformers ; it is clear that nothing :short of the restoration of a cordial union between all sections of the Liberia party, and above all betweee the middle and working classes, can again render the cause of liberty triumphant. To endeavour to effect that union is the special object of the Leeds Parliamentary Reform As sociation. They had a choice of difficulties before them. It appeared extremely difficult in the present divided state of public opinion, to propose any practical measure that should Lornmanel geiieral support. Yet it appeared stilt eso r re hopeless to re xcite the ... spirit and energy of tlie embodied in any great practical measures. They decided upon boa) , facing the difficulties of the former alternative. They adopted what appeared, on the best eonsideratiou they could give the subject, the largest measufte a of Re form en which a majority of Reformers of all elasees could be expected to unite, And they determined, by convening the present meeting, to place this subject fairly before the general body of the friends of liberty through out the country, in order to ascertain how far their own views were correct, and what measures of reform would really unite all classes in its support.—( Cries of " Stuff ") These, brother Reformers, were our motives for bringing together this assemblage, for the calm and earnest dis cussion of this highest of all social questions, the means of obtaining a just and honest Governtnent. That such a movement as the present has originated at; Leeds has been owing, I am willing to believe, to the fortunate circumstances of the existence in our locality of more moderation, more good feeling, and right ueder standing between the operative and middle classes, than perhaps most large towns can boast of.—(Cheers meet hisses.) The increasing numbers and activity of our As sociation proves, in a most satisfactory manner that in our district we have struck a note that is heartily responded to. If the middle classes in this town have not yet cease forward so largely as might have been wished and es... pected to join us, we may, I believe, attribute that to a cause nut, I firmly hope, likely to influence them perma nently. They have been misled and deterred by the hos tility to the principles of our Association of some leading Reformers amongst us—l mean the editors of the Lteds Mercury —( Hisses.) However much my personal friendship and regard for those influential gentlemen may make me regret, for their own sakes, their altered position, I anticipate idothine. b but advantage to our cause from the di scuss i on they have excited. The very able and high-principkd letters of my excellent friend, Mr. Stansfeld, have already done much to remove the strange mystifications throwa about the subject by the editors of the Leeds Mercury. —( Cheers. ) The thorough sifting of the various points of that controversy will, I doubt not, be treated with mach more ability by the distinguished speakers who will follow me, than I could bring to the subject had I space to enter into it. I shall content myself here with a word or two on what appears to Inc by far the worst part of that sophistic argument, and one I fear really calculated to work deep in jury to the cause of enlightened liberty and social improve ment. For I perceive throughout that document, with equal astonishment and regret, the deliberate adoption, by professing Reformers, of the narrow and exclusive prinui plea of the determined enemies of liberty.—(Clicera.) The prejudices, the unfounded fears, and selfish interests of the middle classes of our town population, are openly and prominently appealed to.—( Loud cheers.) I see in that production no trace of firm reliance in the safety of acting honestly at all times ors the bread eternal princi ples of justice, and of Christian good-will and charity to all men, w Isich applies to the weighty affairs of government no less than the common business of life between man and man. Yet this faith is the corner-stone en which must be built all hu. man advance in liberty. Wheu the different classes of society have learnt blindly and foolishly to regard each other as natural enemies, the smallest causes serve to keep theta aloof from each other, or to provoke thsrn to open hosti lity. In such a country, farewell the lieppy life of peace ful and well-rewarded industry, and of the calm and ra tional enjoyment of liberty. Everywhere there is a dismal civil war of clashing and selfish interests ; man set against man ; one class preying with remorseless cruelty upun an. other; everywhere the mass of the people arc exposed to innumerable evils not naturally irrFident to their age or country. I fear that this is tod much for the present state of our country, and the great master cause of it is the existence of the irresponsible government of a ruling class for their own selfish and exclusive beeefi t.—( Cheers. ) Therefore, the reform of this evil, the parent of all others, is the first duty of every man. But how effect it ? Hove remove the ignorance, the apathy, the selfish fears of te numerous and powerful supporters of the present system' Shall we follow their example, and retort evil fur evil; cursing with cursing, and wrong with wrong ? No, surely—for this would increase and perpetuate titre evil. No, my brother Reformers, we have a far wiser, nobler, and surer mode of conquering our liberties, and that is by overcoming evil with good.---( Cheers.) Here is, indeed, a difficult course opened to us, but one how splendid, how delightful I Let the people once fairly demonstrate that they deserve, that they know how to use, liberty. and no earthly power can withhold ite— ( Great cheering.) Let us, then, to vigilance and energy, in contending on all occasions for our just rights, ncid the power of self-constraint, of calm, manly, rational discus. sion, with the sole desire of attaining truth. Then shall we find ourselves bound together in the Limon of meat and glorious brotherhood, the brotherhood ulliherty.—( Cheers and hisses.) I have now the great pleasure. of intro ducing to you it gentleman to whom Reformers - have bear,, lung and deeply indebted for his indefatigable and valuables services in Parliament, in supporting every - measure rend_ rig to enlarge the liberties, or diminish the burdens of the , people—whose opinions and advice in the present critical situation of affairs cannot tail to be extremely weleornta to this meeting, Joseph Hume, lEsq.—(Cheere and hisaca.) See: us remember that the eyes of the whole of our fellow countrymen are upon us ; this important meeting is, per haps, the first in which the two great sections. of the people, the middle and working classes, have met vo gether with perfect mutual confidence and condialitat— frankly and freely to express to each other their own e pi- Mom without any hosthity ; but, on the contrary,, with the siecerc wish to meet and conciliate the opirl,on zu,d good feeling of other classes of Reformers.—(Cly sere. ) //z 4 4 40.; stern
