SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

party, and the preservation of the peace of the country,
consisted in their making large concessions to the popular
will. The working classes have learnt wisdom from ex-
perience : they have now found out where their strength
lies ; and the power which they possess they are deter-
mined to bring to bear against their oppressors. Let not
their peaceful demonstrations be laughed to scorn. If
Government should still persist in treating them with con-
tempt, the error will be discovered, but possibly not until
it be too late. On their heads will rest the responsibility of
the consequences that must ensue. And those conse-
quences will be of a frightful nature. We have now
reached a crisis which is to be decisive of the fate of this
country. In the one scale we have peaceful reforms ; in
the other we have commotion, disturbance, and bloodshed.
It is for the Ministry of Lord Melbourne to say which of
the alternatives they will choose.—Morning Advertiser.

The meetings fo-r Universal Suffrage are now pretty
well understood. We never for one moment conceived
that the open exhortations to physical force, and the eager-
ness to draw the line of distinction sharp between the
working classes and the rest of the community, could have
any other result than what has taken place. The Journals
of character and circulation throughout the country laugh
at the impudence and charlatanerie of this new description
of political regenerators. The Manchester Guardian, says,
with reference to the demonstration which was announced
for yesterday, on Kersal-moor, near Manchester, that, "in
addition to the posting up of large numbers of placards,
meetings have been held in various parts of the neighbour-
hood, for the purpose of stimulating the working classes
to attend the meeting : but, hitherto, we believe these
efforts have not been attended with much success ; and the
Kersal-moor meeting is likely to prove nearly as fiat an
affair as the great metropolitan demonitration.'" We
have no doubt that good has been produced by the expe-
rience obtarned.by the ultra-Radicals ; and we have always
contended for allowing every order and condition of men
the fieeit scope in advocating their opinions. But from
the fOovving circular, which we find in the Manchester
Guardian, it would appear that the projectors of the meet-
ing oCyeaterday-wished for freedom, and something more :
" Amongst the measures," says that Journal, " which have
Leen reserted to for the purpose of swelling the attendance,
there is one which, we think, calls for a little remark.
Printed notes have been sent to the different manufacturers in
the neighbourhood, requesting, not that they will permit the
attendance of such of their workmen as may choose to go,
but that they will entirely stop their works for the day, and
turn out all their hands—men, women, and children—whether
they may desire- to go to the meeting, or to remain at their
work. At a Radical meeting held at Middleton, on Tuesday
evening, one of the speakers proposed that, instead of askine
the manufacturers to close their works, they should only evle
permission to attend the meeting for all worhreem who were
- inclined to do so; but this proposal was ton reasonable to he
lit,ned to ; and the meeting resolved to ask for the entire
cloßing','!of the v;orks, and turning out of the whole of the
hands. The following, is a copy of the circular which bas
been sort to the different firms of cotton spinners in this
town and the immedi.te neighbourl:fl :
Manchester, Sept, Is, 1839.
"':Sir, As nearly the whole of the trades of Manchester
and the surrounding neighbourhoods have obtained permis-
sion 11, orn-their employers to attend a meeting which will tak::
place do Kersal-moor, on Monday next, the 24th of Sep-
ten.ber, 1838. we, the Friendly Associated Operative Cotton
Spinners of Manchester (in general meeting assembled), bcg
leave mess respectfully that you will allow. your mail to stop cn
that day.
