MEETING OF THE CHARTISTS
OF FINSBURY.-(LAST NIGHT.)

A meeting of the inhabitants of this district met last night
at White Conduit House, for the purpose of carrying out the
principles of the Charter. The meeting was crowded to suffocation.
A great number of the provincial delegates were on the platform.
BAILLIE CRAIG, Delegate from Renfrewshire, was called to the
Chair, and was received with loud applause by the meeting,
He came, he said, upwards of 400 miles, in the midst of this.
inclement seasen, on the people's errand, for the purpose of advocating
the cause of Universal Suffrage—a cause that they had all at heart.
In a month, I hope I will have it in my power to return to my con:
stit uents, with the pleasing intelligence that we have acquired nil'
vernal Suffrage, without which, there is not the least chance of gel'
ing any of those obnoxious laws repealed, which now press so heavY
on the working classes. We are electing a Parliament of our
own. You will now have an opportunity of discerning the difference
between the people's Members, and the Members of that House which
assembles in St. Stephen's Chapel. You will see whether they are
honest or not, a right which ought to be yours at all times.
He returned thanks for their confidence in having called him to the
chair, and begged to introduce to their notice Mr. Vincent, wh°
would move the first resolution. It was to the effect—That this
meeting approves of the princples of the people's charter, an d they
engage not to desist from agitation until its principles are carried
out.

Mr. VINCENT, in a long address, spoke to the resolution with
much effect, and on its being seconded by Mr. SANKEY of Edo'.
burgh, it passed unanimously.
Dr. TAYLOR, of Newcastle, next addressed the meeting, and was
received with loud and oft repeated cheers. He addressed the
meeting for nearly an hour in a speech of much force and energy,
and which was received by the vast multitude with repeated
acclamations. We give a few of the passages which Inn't
drew on the sympathies of the people. He must tell thee
he was from the land of the mountain and of the flood.-...(Hear.)
He did not at all anticipate a meeting of this magnitude; he
was proud of its vastness, for it belied the assertions of the ene-
mies of the Charter when they said that London was inactive. He
came from that country where liberty was worshipped in ber remotest
glens, to London, not to agitate, but to deliberate, and if necessary to
ACT—if necessary !I!—(Tremendous sensation, and cheers.) Dud
the word touch you ? It does all ; then, if so, I will call on you
some of those days. You must give proof that ye are not coward's
you men of London. When the people are in earnest, who can
withstand them ? There's is the power that none can overthroW.
Imagine the thoughts of the aristocracy of the land, when they
sometimes, as they do, meet one of those half-starved and famishing
wretches whom their system of oppression keeps bowed down
with the yoke of poverty, a system which brings to the
multitude all the privations of starvation and a lingering
death, and to the few riches and happiness.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
Dr. Taylor continued, the day is come when we cannot stop. our
way is pointed out; we must go on in our path ; there is
no going back ; advance is the word. We will ask those
who stand in our way to step aside, or come, with us, but
if not, we must pass over them.—(Great cheers, and We will.)
That the Metropolis will be up and do its duty, whatever that dull
be—(loud cheers, and " We will !")—whatever is required of you,
money, agitation, or arms 2—(Great cheering.) Are they not
our own rights ? Are they not our's by the law of the
Divinity ? Has not he imprinted in our souls a feeling
that all are equal ? Is it not flat blasphemy to contradict it ?
Mr LOWRY, a delegate moved the next resolution, which was 10
the effect that the National Convention had the confidence of the
people. The workmen did not wish for blood : God forbid there
ever should be a necessity for shedding it, but they know that there
is a worse murder than that inflicted by the musket.—(Hear, hear.)
There is the slow murder of oppression and degradation, which kill'
by slow degrees.
Mr. Mont seconded the resolution.

Mr. DEEGAN, of Chissha, and Mr. Buggy, from Yorshire, spoke
on the hardships of the Factory System, and were received with
much applause, in support of the third resolution, which related
to the getting up of funds to carry on the agitation.
Dr. M'DONNELL, Delegate from Ashton-on-the-Lyne,
half an hour on the hardship of Mr. Stephens, the Poor-law agi-
tator, and was loudly cheered by the meeting. We cannot attemPtt
from our limited space, to give even an outline of the Doctor's
speech. spoke for

Mr. F. O'CONNOR was then called on, and his appearance
received with deafening shouts, which continued for a—folig

rest in the classes who are represented by the persons
who compose the' Convention, than for whose who
have their representatives in another House. How do you
like them ? Nething-like comparison ? Do not you think these
men—(pointing to the assembled Delegates)—will be able to get
through your business better than the gentlemen who sit in that
other house ? He was led to believe from the doctrine of that old 13,11.
the Morning Chronicle for sometime past that he would be honoured
by having his name mentioned by the lips of Royalty in the
Speech from the Throne. But such had not been the fact. This
had astonished him, but had not Peel in one house, and VV!is:

pitiable Whigs hope to make up for their in.door weakness
by their out-door agitation, and by way of relieving us, they

All the nonsense about physical and moral force makes us laugh'
What are the titles by which all hold their kingdoms but by physical
force. While little Johnny Russell was penning his epistle on
physical force in Downing street, the Queen was leaning on
the arm of her uncle the King of the Belgian!,
walking on the terraces of the Castle. And how the
he acquire his kingdom but by physical force?--(Hear, hear:)
Mr. O'Connor concluded a long speech by reminding his audi-
ence that they should have what they required, even if they
died for it.—(Hear, and cheers, and "We will.") If he was 313

Hear, and "IT is.") If we are to be resisted in our exertions to
procure our happiness WHAT WOULD YOU DO!—(Here a loud and
deafening shout of, " We'll fight, we'll fight,' was repeated several
times.)

Mr. O'Connor then sat down without uttering another word.
The resolution, and another of thanks to the Chaisman passed►
and the meeting dissolved.
