When we reflect on the whole of the proceedings
orthe Radicals at Glasgow, from the first Manifeat-
ation of their disposition there, up till the late busi-
ness, in which these misguided men made such April
fools of theniselves, It Is impossible to-applaupoo
highly the spirit, the temperance, and the wisdom of
the Magistrates and well-affected inhabitants of that
great City and the surrounding,country.:- Bat 'there
is one thing which we cannet.entir* aiiterrr, ina
that is, the formation of an Association for tie pur-
pose of rejecting from their manufactories, all those
who have been distinguished as leaders-in the late
striking. The proper and legal way of proceeding,
in all cases ofthis kind, is the best.
indivichsals may act as they think proper with re-
spect to their workmen, but for Gentlemen so en-•
lightened as those of Glasgow, to enter into .a com-
bination against the workmen, is not wise, and cer-
tainly is not legal. Let the objectionable individuals
be seized and punished according to law, and even
let those who particularly employed them before,
cast them off, if they please, for ever ; but' avombi-
natiou of this sort cannot be defended, and we trust
the Gentlemen themselves will see it in this light.
We are happy to see, from the subjoined *accounts,
that the panic is over, and things returning to their
usual course : . 1
FROM vas GLASGOW CHRONICLEorIATURDAY.,
14 The appeal eaide by the Radicals to arm; is now
confessed, even by those most addicted to v4onary'
fear, to have failed. No One now denies chat the
scheme was one of the -wildest and most ridiculous

in the annals of the world.
"'llse Radicals have had every opportunity that
thercould wish for a Bill muster. Their ueason-
able placard was very geaerAlly perused on Sunday.
For the three following dayr they were allowed to
infest the streets, in obedience to its injunction to be
idle; and when theyboisted their banners ef rebellion
in Bridgetown,they remained threehours of thestreets

by any person. So circamstaikecl;they would doubt*
less bring forward whatever strength they possessed.
Its nthnerical amount deserves to be waited. From
Calton and Bridgetown there came ninety-five armed
men ; from Gorbals and tr*destown, sixty ; those
routed at Kilsyth were fifty-one; and if the forty
men that appeared at Kirkintillech did not belong to
Bridgetown, they *ill make a total of two,huedred
and forty-six men, armed with pikesallsrlinaseeea.

64 We have reason to believe, that the total num-
ber of members of the Union Societies belonging to
Glasgow. its dependencies and neighbouring villages,
fall short of a thousand. In the hey-day of Radi-
ealism they never amounted to fifteen hundred.

Public, midif we did not know that the commercial
pressure must have enabled the Radicals to exotic:-
rate their numbers, by confounding discontent with
the wish for revolution.
