| Working Men of Stockport, the hand of oppression is still upon us,
continuing its horrifying work in our dwellings, scraping from our
tables the last mouthful which the trifling wages dealt out by the
niggardly hand of capital enable us to procure: which ever way we
turn, misery and destitution present themselves. |
| We have petitioned Parliament, we have laid our grievances at the
foot of royalty, we have besought Her Majesty's ministers to inquire
into the causes of our sufferings, but in vain. What then are we to
do? Common sense and common prudence point out, as the only remaining
resource, the uniting of every good man for the obtainment of an organic
change in the institutions of our country. |
| We therefore call upon you to sanction, by your presence, those
principles which alone can save our common country from impending
ruin. |
THE CHARTIST COUNCIL OF STOCKPORT. |
| N. B. A public Meeting will be held next Monday, the 14th Inst.,
for the purpose of appointing a delegate to attend the Manchester
Conference on the 17th. |
