The Sun. — 1839-01-05 (London, England)

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1839.  had.—(" Yes he has," from the same person, and cries of Turn him out.") If Mr. O'Connell had rightly wielded the po,eer and influence he had over the Irish people, Ireland would not still have remained in such a degraded state.— ( Hear, hear.) The men of Lancashire would not allow Stephens to be trampled on by any Government.—( Never, never.) Before O'Connell's base, bloody, and brutal Whigs should victimise Stephens, he knew they would lose their lives, and Stephens was worthy of their lives.--( Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) He was worthy of all the sympathy and support they could give him, and he ( Mr. Deegan) should feel much pleasure in telling the men of Ashton and Staleybridge, the glorious outburst of feeling that had manifested itself in Bolton..—(Cheers.) He would now tell them a fact, which he hoped the gentlemen of the Press would be good enough to give publicity. The Whigs were circulating a pamphlet written by a man of their own party, for the very purpose of murdering the children of the poor. It abounded with arguments to prove the necessity and expediency of checking the increase of population, and urged that a law should be passed to prevent any married couple from having more than three children.—(Cries of " Shame ! shame !") A new gas company was to be formed ; that gas company was to send out a medical man, and after the poor mother had borne her lovely child, nine months in her womb, and had suffered the intense anguish of child-bearing, the Whigs proposed to give the little infant a dose of Whig gas, quietly to destroy it.—( Shame, shame.) When things came to that pass, it was time to give over Qpeaking. [ A person in the crowd said, " From what authority have you that ?"] It was written under the name of " Marcus"—any one could purchase it at Messrs. Eton and Ogle's, in that town—( Hear, hear, hear. ) It. was no use petitioning. They must have Whig muskets. —( Hear, hear.) They had as much right to have muskets as the linen-drapers of Leigh had. A linen-draper of Leigh told the Magistrates he had " a pair of right good uns."— ( Laughter.) Let the people be prepared with " a pair of right goood uns" also, and their judgments would tell them when to use them. —(Loud cheering.) In conclusion, he would wish them a happy new year, and trusted that next year they would have no occasion to call these meetings. Mr. WARDEN moved the following resolution : " That we continue to place the fullest confidence in Feargus O'Connor, Esq., and the Northern Union, and disclaim all connection with Daniel O'Connell, considering him the greatest enemy of the working classes of this empire."—( Great cheering.) The career of Mr. O'Connell had exhibited a degree of uculency that had not been shown even by a political demagogue.—( Hear. hear.) Mr. Warden then read the following extract from an Address of the Precursor Society, in The Sun of Saturday last, which he said was written by Mr. O'Connell, and which would show what a miscreant that man was. It was as follows :  '• And moreover, they state, as a reason for refusing to disclaim the bloodthirsty Feargus O'Connor, that they are unwilling to lessen his usefulness'—aye, his usefulness'—that is the very word they use. So that, according to them, a man might suggest the burning of factories and homesteads 1" He (Mr. Warden) would a3k, Did Feargus O'Connor ever suggest the burning of factories and homesteads ?—(Cries of " No, no.") —the resorting to armed violence and sanguinary insurrection, and the commission of high treason itself, and still be considered useful to the purposes of the London Working Men's Association." That was a specimen of Dan's recent eloquence. Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously.  The neat resolution was proposed by Mr. Dewhurst, and seconded by Mr. R. Jones—  " That the attainment of the principles contained in the People's Charter, will necessarily lead to the repeal of all laws inimical of the public welfare. This meeting discountenances all agitation for the accomplishment of partial measures." Agreed to.  A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the netting broke up.
