Mr. Chairman : 1 would ask il person* not posseting one hundred and tidily l>u dollars in soil, arc permitted to address ’hi» meeting. If so, 1 wish to make a few rc ranks. This community seem* to ba di vided into two parties. N d Jackson me and Clay men, not M isons and Auti-M > sons, but Aristocracy and Democracy. Ihe term Aristocracy denotes a privileged class Although the Oo tslituiiun ul the United Slates'acknowledges no he editary right, yet there exis’s among us a class well tie serving the name ol Aristocrats. 1 wd menti m some of their privileges, They claim the right of sneering at any, and ail the rftVls made by the working men to im prove iheir condition. Have we not Sir, hen contending foil m ruths to obtain die acknowledgment > t| and u > lnubted*right, to wit : I'ne ng.ii gel’ our • wii time in such quantities as we deem expedient ?

Where did he G» | vemmeilt get this power which they havej gi y .0, and which you to misuse ? D.d it not come from the people ? And the peo ple can, ami will t..ko it from government if th manufacturer continue his oppressive measures. Have we not, Sir, while con tending o the education ot the rising ge neration, and for our own improvement, seen tnc smile of contempt and the frown of vengeance, ligh'ing up and darkening; the c ran nance of our opptessoia. Sit,! this aristocracy cf wealth claims the righl| to shu up in the Cotton Mill the almost tn-j fant child for 13 or 14 hours per diem, wiih only 2) or 30 minutes lor each meal, that) is, breakfast and dinner, thereby depriving' them of Ihe best of all earthly go id, an edu cation. If the M nuficlunr will put out! our mental eyes, by keeping us grinding in their prison houses, and then intend to hnng us out to mike sp rt for the Bliillistiiies, wo hope they will lead us to the pillars ol the Temple, of their god, Dagon that we may bow ourselves for tho last time, and with one mighty elfitrl, fumble the vist fa bic of ihe American System, falsely so called, m one wide and desolate tuiti, ra ther thin soli wit to om oppressors. Sir the dominant potty in this 'own arc drive g from their nr; k- many, very many m.-ti, by their ovotbearing conduct, and the opposi tion to 'he w "king men, is tnanufacluiing anti-tarififni 'ii, as fast as (he power loom ni*ik*-« VAi<lSi of coa*se Co’*on cloth.

With the most painful feelings we have ; to state that from the riotous conduct mani fes'ed by the lower of the Canadians and 1 1 i-h partisans on Saturday, the Poll was adj mrned to this day, when the Magistral cy and a large b uly of the Constables very •properly attended. We have been inform ed that throughout the day the most evident syn p. oms of increasing insubordination and, desire for riot was manifested, more espe cial!'/ when any of those persons favorable of Mr. Bigg presented themselves. To wards evening the Constables were beaten from their posls, and many of them most scandalously ill-treated. It was at length found necessary to order out the Military, who promptly, attended, under the com mand'of Col. M Itrlosh. The Rio Act was then read. Orr our arrival at the French square, v/e found a i large number of pet sons collected, and eve ry now anti then some person or other as saulted and knocked down by (he "bullies” jin attendance. On the pell closing for tha day another indiscriminate attack was made lon the Cons' ablest—and also ns we have ' been informed, upon Mr. Bugg himself— who, if we are correct,.was shamefully mis • used, as well as several others whom we ob served cut and mangled very much.
