MEETING OP THE WORKING CLASSES TO SUPPORT 

 THE TRUE SUN. 



WE had not space among our Notes of the Month to notice an event 

 which is certainly one of the most remarkable features of the times. 

 We allude to a meeting of nearly three thousand persons assembled at 

 the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in aid of the fortunes of the True Sun, 

 a paper very recently established; but one that, in its short career, 

 has established itself in an unprecedented degree in the confidence and 

 attachment of the working classes. Its funds, however, have proved 

 inadequate to its full and complete establishment ; and the proprietors 

 have determined upon the hazardous, but, as it turns out, most success- 

 ful experiment, of throwing themselves for efficient support upon those 

 classes in particular whose interests it has especially advocated. 



The merits of the paper have been acknowledged by men of all 

 parties. The Examiner says " On the merit of the True Sun it is 

 unnecessary for us to dilate ; it became conspicuous in a very short 

 time ; indeed, no paper within our recollection has obtained such high 

 distinction for ability with such rapidity. At once it took its place in 

 the foremost rank of the champions of truth and justice, and became 

 recognized as a leading power." And the Standard remarks, that " we 

 believe the writers of this journal to be perfectly honest men, and we 

 know that they are men of talent." " No one," it is observed, " can 

 charge the True Sun with want of talent, or its patrons with want of 

 zeal; it is by the contemptible weakness and want of money of the 

 party > that the difficulties of the journal must be explained." 



The Radicals, we are happy to say, are repelling this charge with 

 alacrity and decision. Committees in aid of the paper are being formed, 

 and public meetings convened in various districts of the metropolis, and 

 in most of the large towns throughout the kingdom. The poor man is 

 finding out what he can do with his penny. A Penny Union is estab- 

 lished ; and the Radical party will soon secure to itself a permanei 

 representative in the Daily Press.
