      The Charter And No Surrender!

      THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !

      In No Spirit Of Petty Triumph We Point T...

      In no spirit of petty triumph we point to the exhibition ef national feeling recorded in the columns of this day ' s Star , with regard to Mr O'Connor and his accusers . The people have given their verdict , and in such terms as must convince the most rabid of Mr O'Connor ' s foes of the utter hopelessness of destroying the object of their hatred , so long as he remains faithful to the eause of which he is the recognised representative , and true to the movement of which he is the acknowledged chief .

      The mass of resolutions and addresses on this subject contained in this week ' s Star , do not include more than . half the number re--ceived . Te have given the whole we must have curtailed the reports of the Assembly ' s proceedings ; we preferred rather to postpone till our next number many of the enthusiastic testimonials of popular regard , which , in jus tice to Mr O'Connor , and to the people themselves , ought to have appeared in our present number .

      i We have said we record these popular manifestations in no feeling of petty personal triumph . Every man in the National Assembly will see in these manifestations his own safeguard against calumny and misrepresentation . Let any Chartist leader , as well as Mr O'Connor , be unjustly assailed , and he will find the people prepared to as zealousl y defend him . Even * honest man will consider that he has a share iu Mr O'Connor ' s triumph —onlv knaves will _regret his victory .

      This week the Assembly has repudiated the alleged hostility to Mr O'Connor , popularl y ascribed to it . For ourselves we never ima _^ _ined . that any considerable number of the Delegates were animated by a sentiment at once so unjust and so impolitic . We knew that the denunciators were but a few . Unhappily they were the noisiest , and so stamped the body with a character which was unjust to the Assembly as a whole . The Assembly has now set itself right in the eyes ofthe public , and we feel confident will not again allow any foolish or evil-disposed men to place it in the Kroner .

      We adopt the Assembly s motto , " Measures , not men . ' * As far as we can concur in the acts ofthe Delegates , their " measures " _sh-dl have our hearty support , quite independent of the question of " men . " The principal work the Assembly was delegated to perform , was , undoubtedly , the presentation ofthe Memorial to the Queen , and this should have been , if not the first , one of the first subjects of its deliberations . The unfortunate affair of the National Petition , unquestionably did the movement considerable _damage . The wickedness of our enemies ,

      combined with the want of judgment on the part of our friends , _rendered the National Petition worse than a nullity- In our humble opinion , tbe Convention should have taken steps to have remedied this misfortune . In answer to the triumphant veilings and scoffings of our enemies , the Convention should have engaged to have procured some manifestation of public opinion , similar to what the National Petition was intended to have been ; of course , taking the necessary means to guard against imposition and misrepresentation . It was most essential that some such exhibition

      of the Will of the People should have preceded the presentation of the Memorial . Unfortunately , the Convention decided otherwise . We lament that the Assembly did not reverse that decision . Declining to re-open the National Petition question , the best mode ef presenting the _Memorial should have been the first subject of the Assembly ' s deliberations To discuss « ' ulterior measures ' before presenting the _Memalial , was " putting the cart before the horse /'

      I Now that the subject has been discussed , the delegates appear to have come to a prudent decision thereon . It appears that the Lord Chamberlain is already in possession of tbe intimation that a deputation from tbe people desire to see her Majesty the Queen , face to face , to present the Memorial , demanding a dissolution ofthe present corrupt House of Commons , and the dismissal of her

      unpopular advisers , to make way for honest men , who will be prepared to do justice to the people by making the Charter a Cabinet measure . Certain parties are clamorous for a procession to attend the deputation to the Queen . Under present circumstances , such a move would be the perfection of madness . A procession means righting , for which the people are not prepared . Circumlocution of speech on such a subject would be cowardice . We give utterance to

      what we believe to be the truth . We , too , wish to " bring the question to an issue , " but we wish also that the issue may be victory for Chartism . To sanction any move which , in all probability , would bring another sort of issue , would draw down upon us the curses of millions , and render _conscience itself our unrelenting accuser . gWe perceive that the Assembly has voted the holding of an aggregate meeting of the men of London , to sanction the Memorial . We understand that the said meeting will take place , on Monday evening next , on Clerkenwell Green , We trust that every Democrat in London will rally to that gathering , to the crv of

      « THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !" Amongst the " measures '" ' included in the svork of the Assembly performed within the present week , j _« hich we feel _called upon to applaud , we may enumerate the resolution of Dr M'Douall and Mr Councillor Brook , regarding the middle class agitation for the Suffrage ; Mr Rankin ' s resolution respecting the Army ; Mr West ' s _resolution in support of the Repeal of the Union , anil Mr Carver ' s resolution

      against State Church-craft . These resolutions are calculated , we hope , to bring us " troops of friends . " We should not omit favourable mention of Mr Kydd ' s excellent add ; ess to men

      of ail classes . Such " measures do credit to the Assembly , and will , we hope , command universal approbation . The new p lan of organisation " we shall not discuss at present * we wait until it comes before us in proper form . It will be seen that a new Executive has been appointed—provisionally . In the course of a few weeks , the people will either confirm the Assembly ' s choice or appoint others . Holding ourselves at perfect liberty to discuss " measures , " we shall leave " men" to speak for themselves . The members of the new Executive are well known to the people , and their acts in the past , the present , and the future , sufficiently speak , and will speak , for them .

      The Assembly has determined to ask the people for a " Liberty Fund" of 10 , 000 / . Of course every locality will respond to the appeal . For the new Executive to earn the confidence of the people it must work ; but to work , and work efficiently , that Executive must be supplied with the means of working . As the acknowledged organ of the Chartist movement , we feel we but express the general opinion of the Chartist body , in expressing our thanks to the good men and true who formed the late Executive , and for so many years braved the battle and the breeze of

      _aristocratical hostility , and bore up against the still more formidable obstacle of public apathy . To be ice-bound by the freezing breath of popular indifference , is far worse than to be blown by the gusts of tyranny upon the leeshore of political proscription . We have always objected to the duties of the Land Directory and the Chartist Executive being imposed upon the same body . It is impossible for one set of men to perform the duties of both offices fully and faithfully . We therefore g ladl y accept any arrangement calculated to ensuie the proper guidance of the Chartist movement , without injuring the Land movement . It , however , must not be forgotten

      that , but for the Land Directors giving their gratuitous services , there would have been no Executive , and nothing in the shape of an organised Chartist party . It may be true that the late Executive did not do all for Chartism that ought to have been done , but that was the misfortune of its members , rather than their fault . Men as honest as Aristides , as eloquent as Demosthenes , and as devoted as Regulus , could do nothing for the People ' s , regeneration , unless supported by the people themselves . Let us hepe that the new Executive , coming into office at a more favourable time , will not lack the necessary support for necessary action .

      ONWARD , AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL ! THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER

      Parliamentary Review .; The Stir And Bus...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . ; The stir and bustle outside of Parliament , which has this week crowded our columns so much as scarcely to leave room for our usual commentaries upon passing events , is singularly contrasted by the proceedings within Parliament . Day by day the fact becomes more palpable , that the State machine is in want of more efficient engineers , and that , unless they are speedily found , it will stop altogether . Virtually , we may almost say it has stopped , for it is impossible to look at the melancholy list of " count outs , " postponements , and excuses of all sorts for shirking work—which have characterised this week ' s

      proceedings—without feeling that they are tantamount to an abnegation of the duties of Government and Legislation . In the House of Lords , Lord Stanley made the Diplomatic Correspondence of LordPalmersion with the Court of Spain , upon which we recently commented , the theme of a severe , but well-merited , castigation . The only defence offered - if defence it could be called—was , that the dispatch was a confidential one , and our Minister at Madrid had exceeded his instructions in sending it to the Spanish Foreign _Minister . This was truly a Whiggish defence—mean , and truckling , and

      ungenerous . The only back-door by which they could escape , was to throw the blame upon an underling , and endeavour to screen Lord Palmerston by sacrificing Sir H . Bulwer . But even this miserable subterfuge failed them , because—as Lord Stanley afterwards conclusively proved , by an extract from a subsequent dispatch of Lord Palmerston—that Minister formally communicated the " approbation of Her Majesty ' s Government" , ( not his own approbation , be 5 it remembered , but the approbation of the Government ) , for the course he had taken in the matter . When

      this puzzler was put to poor Lord Lansdowne , he was perfectly " dumb-foundered' _'~ _as they say across the Tweed—and begged , for mercy ' s sake , they would say no more about it . The quarrel was a nasty , foolish , and disagreeable one , but it was now all over ; and where was the necessity for reviving such disagreeable subjects ? Very true . But who got you into the scrape , my Lord ? And if Spain had been a little more able to stand up for

      herself than she is just now , the people ef Eng land might have been got into the scrape too . As it is , no doubt the offence has been recorded as one of many for which , some time or other , a day of reckoning may come . It is well that Palmerston ' s slight ofhanddexteritv , which has saved him from detection in so many previous instances , has not succeeded in throwing the public off the scent this time , but that he _should stand detected as the impertinent , meddling , and mischievous coxcomb , that he really is .

      Another Of The " Lost, Stolen, Or Straye...

      Another of the " lost , stolen , or strayed Irish measures made its appearance in the House of Lords on Monday night . The Encumbered Estates Bill passed through a stage , but whether v » e shall _ag-ain lose si _^ ht of it till the end of the session , when , with other unfortuaate abortions , it will be consigned to limbo—remains to be seen .

      The Public Health Bill, After Many Alter...

      The Public Health Bill , after many alterations—so many that it is impossible to recognise the original—made its appearance iu the Lower House on the same evening . It passed the allotted stage ; but no one , now , has the least confidence in the wisdom or firmness of Ministers . Probably , the' next time we get a sight of it , the measure will be " transmogrified" into something altogether different .

      On Tuesday The House Was Counted Out At ...

      On Tuesday the House was counted out at half-past seven , after some unimportant business , mainly consisting of questions and answers , had been gone through ; and on Wednesday evening the business—so to speakconsisted almost entirely of postponements of business , and the House rose two hours before its usual time ! Such conduct might be worthy of a _^ m ore extended comment , hut , mindful of the pressure on our columns , we pause for the present , leaving the fact to speak for itself .

      SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION Aim " CHARTIST PROCESSION AT LEICESTER ,

      Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., visited Leicester on Monday Ia _? t . and was received with great _onthusiasEi . It bad been arranged in the course of the previous week , that a procession should take place on the occasion , and some of the wealthy Tories either were or _professtd to be afraid , that if it wa > allowed tbe pence of the borough would be disturbed , and probab'y their property might be injured . In consequence of these fears a special meeting of the magistrates waa held on Saturday , to consider the _propriety of preventing tho precession . This

      meeting was attended by the Mayor , Jobti bigg . ' , _&*<[ , who is an advocate for freedom of thought , and freedom of speech , and who , we believe , entertained no fear ofthe Chartists ; and there were other liberal m » ei 8 ir » tt ! B _present , so many indeed as to out vote the Tories , snd so the procession was not put down . To quell the fears of the timoreus , however , the Chartist Council issued a small handbill , assuring tbe public tbat they intended nothing at _variance with peace , law , and order , and _requesting all who _miilht join in the procession to do so , without either a walking-stick or cane in their hands _.

      The weather on Monday _was _exceedingly fine , and many persons from the surrounding villages , and some from Loughborough , a distance of eleven miles , availed themselves of the opportunity to pay their respects to the great champion of Chartism . Before two o ' clock in th 8 afternoon the people began to assemble ia large numbers in tho market place , and a procession of the unfortunate workmen _, who , by the _depressed stale of trade bave been lona OHt of employment , and have bsen employed latterly in Waking stone 3 , and working at the _workhonse mill for tenpence a-day , took their stand in front of tbe _Exchange .

      The order of the procession was r s follows : —Band _eneased by the Counoil of the National Charter Association—a _carraige and pair , containing Mr George Buckbyand Iriends—the stone breakers—( a number of stocking makers and others out of work , and who a _^ e thus emoloyed , I suppose abant 1400 ) — carriage drawn by four splendid _horses , containing F . O'Connor , E _? q ., accompanied by a gentleman from Lincoln , and Messrs Green and Barton of Leicester—the Cbartist Council in _char-a-lanc and pair _. followed by members and friends —the National Land Company , headed by their com mittee in carriage and pair , with band following—the trades , also headed with band—the country , Loughborough taking the lead with band , and a carriage

      containing _MrSkevington and Muds , itis difficult to form a correct estimate ; I have heard many and widely different calculations given _; on this one point , however , I think scarcely a doubt remains , namely , that no procession in Leicester , in modern times , bas exceeded in numbers the one tbat took place on Monday last . Banners , flags , & s , engaged by the variou 9 . compnnies , were distributed throughout the procession . The route taken was as follows;—From the _Railwaystation , down London-road . Belvoir . Street , Welford-road , _Oxford-fctreet _. Friar-line , Market-place , ( enterirg by tbe Fish Market , ) Highstreet , North Gate-street , Sanvy Gale , Church Gate , _Belgrave Gate , _Woodboy-stree' , Wharf-street . _Rutland-street , Granby street , and _ilamberstone Gate .

      Tne procession having been properly marshalled , proceeded to the Railway . station to meet Mr O'Connor , who arrived by the up-train at a quarter past three o ' clock . Thousands of persons were anxiously awaiting hia arrival , and immediately on bis appearance at the station deor he was greeted with _tremendoua cheering , _clappiDg of hands , and waving of hats , and many pressed forward to have the pleasure ot shaking him by the hand . Having taken his seat in an open carriage , drawn by four _heroes , accompanied by Mr Green , grocer , and Mr W . H . Burton , printer , of Leicester , and a gentleman from Lincoln , the procession moved on . In all parts of tbe route , the streets and window . * were thronged with spectators , and Mr O'Connor was frequently greeted with en . _thusiastic applause . Festoons of evergreens _weie hung aeros * several streets through which the pro . cession passed , and at the office efthe Land Company , in Chureh Gate , a full length portrait of Mr O Connor was exhibited , and a motto

      * Welcome , O _CNnnor , ¦ Welcome ! band in hand With our loved Charter , > . nd the smiling Land . ' was posted near to it . The portrait attracted the attention of all passers-by ; and on tbe approach of the carriage in which Mr O'Connor rode , a number of ladieB appeared at the office window , and greeted him hv the waving of handkerchiefs . At about half-past five o ' clock , the procession was brought to a close in llnaibers ' . one gate , where many thousands of persons had assembled , aud Mr O'Connor , attended by the _lsudins members ofthe Chartist body in Leicester _* hire , made his appearance on the balcony in front of the Bell Hotel , and was received with lond and l _. _insr continued cheering . When the _cheerisg had _subsided , the honourable gentleman said : —

      That _tilorious scene would warm the blood in oolder veins than his , and their cheerin ? countenances , and heart ? welcome , made even his Irish blond run hotter in his veins . ( Cheers . ) Although the re < t ofthe world might frown upon hira , so Ion _? aa he had the smiles of his children , he Bet the world at defiance . ( Cheers . ) He had come amongst thera at an auspicious time , when the monarchs an-1 governments . of other countries were obliged to bow their _despotic heads to tha will and the power of the people . He came to tell thera tha ; be would not long suffer such a state of things as ho had that day seen depicted in the pale faces ofthe little ohildren of the hard-wo kins poor , while idlers were revelling in luxuries . ( Cheers . ) Thero was no man who

      knew hin ? . bat knew that he would rather stab him self to the heart , than gire up a single point of the _people's rights . ( Cheers ) They were all entitled to a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s wotk . That was the principle which was animating men in other countries , and if ever the day should come when the rich and the po _> r of this country should be arrayed azainst each other , be would be found in the ranks of th 1 ) poor . ( Cheers ) It was very well for those who had plenty of this world ' s good * to say ' Wait a little longer until you have knowledge . ' They bad sufficient knowledge to tell them tbey would not wait , much longer for their rights . ( Cheers ) ' That wss language no stronger than he had used in the House ol Commons . Other countries had said that

      labour must have its due , and be would tbat day swear before high Heaven that tbe labourers of England and Ireland to * , should have their dues . ( Loud cheering . ) Labour should have its _representatives as well as wealth . No longer should the £ 10 ho'i « e be more knowing , or have more _powa-, than the brains of man . It was true their leaders hadbeen jarring , but notwithstanding some little differences did exist , their enemies need not exult orer them , for , like man and wife , although they allowed themselves to fall out , they did not allow anybody el < _e to interfere with them . ( Cheers . ) There might be paleness in his cheeks but the blood was warm afc his h _< art ; and if younger and stronger men out-stepped him for a time , they must have long legs to

      outrun him in th . 2 end . Ue invited the middle _o'asaes to hear hira that evening _,- and be would show tbem that the people were not so ignorant as some pe < pie bad repte 3 _entel them to be . They had _knowledge to know when they were hungry , and when their children were crying for bread . They bad knowledge to dis in _;; u ' ah between a good man and a tyrant , nnd that wai whit they feared . If hey were ignnran ' , _ihsy would enfranchise them to-morrow . Was it necessary that they should learn Latin or Greek , or those ungrammatical language ! in which the acts of Charles and James were printed , and which the Attorney-General had been so industriously bringing to light during tbe last few weeks ? Such _knowledge was not necessary t » enable a man to exercise the

      franchise . While looking at the little children o » Leicester that day , he had thought of tha difference between them and the little children whose parents he had placed upon tbe land , aud he was now determined to place them all thero before he stopped . He had sworn that every man who waa now causing a glut in the labour market should be removed from tbe place where there was a surplus of labour , and placed where he could obtain a comfortable livelihood—as God had commanded hira— 'by the sweat of bis brow . ' ( Cheers . ) He had sworn that while there was so mu : h surplus labour in the market , no idle _sstof parsons should continue to waste the produce ofthe land 00 themselves . ( Hear . ) Leicester was a _jjreat tree trade town , and for God ' s sake let them not be monopolists in salvation . It

      the ixore woe and tribulation they had in this world , the greater would be their happiness in the next , let the parsoi a have their share here , that they might be as happy as their neighbours hereafter . ( Cheers . ) After censuring tbe London press for thc unfairness it had manifested in reporting the numbers and proceedings ofthe Chartist body _. Mr O'C- n nor congratulated the Leicester people on their having two papers , tie _Chronicle and the _Msrcubv , which had given them faithful reports . Ha was no monopolist in circulating opinion , but would recommend those who could not take two papers to give up the Nobtder . v Stab , and take the Mercury ( Cries nf ' No , no , we never will . ' ) Aftera few words more , Mr O'Connor concluded by announcing that the meeting in tbe Amphitheatre , would commence at seven o ' clock .

      THE EVENING MEETING was , according to announcement , held in the Amphitheatre . Lung before the hour appointed , the spacious building began to fill with great rapidity , and soon alter seven o ' cloek was crowded to exc _^ _s ; wliith rendered the atmosphere so oppressive that hundreds of men in the front gallery pulled off their coats . before the arrival of Mr O'Connor , Mr Buckby , the delegate of tbe late Convention , gave out tbe hymn , commencing Base oppressors , etc ., ' which was sung with great enthusiasm . The arrival of Mr _O'Crn-jr was the _signal for load and long continued cheering , and when that had subsided ,

      Mr Gbeen was called upon to preside , and said ,, he would not occupy much of their time ; but wb _^ he saw such a meeting as that , he was perfectly $ a >

      The Chairman then said , he had great pleasure in 'ntroducing their _unpurchasabie friend , _Fenrgut O'Connor , Esq . ( Loud cheering , clapping ot hands _, and waving ot nats and handkerchief ? . ) When the cheering bad subsided , Mr O'Co . vnok said , although that exhibition mii > ht bi _dangerous in these times to a person oi his excitable temperament , yet when he saw the gladdening fac' 8 of freemen before him , he trample _^ the Whig Treason Act under his feet . ( Cheers ) If there were not intended to be one statute law for the rich , and another fe > r the poor—the spirit of iw constitution for the wealthy , aHd the blank letter fir the indigent , he saw now be'bre him , and had heard in their _sont-, enough knowledge to break

      through all the absolute tyranny of a Whig governr aent . ( Cheera . ) He told them in ' 33 , and he told ihem now , thatthey lived in new times , and r - quired new men to _eoveru thera . The Whigs at tempted to govern them on the _oldsy-tem ; butthif _waian age oi steam , of prin ing pre _* s _* B , of penny p 6 'tage , and of tbe electric _telegraph , and it was ne cesaary that these clodpo ' . es _thould march oawa'd out of their way , or else the people would marcli over them . _iCbeers . ) They got the Reform Bill a few years ago , wbich waa to have given them peace-, retrenchment , and reform . Id had given them _<< forced peace at home—it had increased taxes to the amount of £ 12 00 ft 000 annually , and given the landlords tho power to ride rough shod over thera : bu

      there was no Reform in tbe cabinet and the govern merit . They wero next promised cheap bread high wages , and plenty to do ; and they _cntt-ndefj , like men , for it . They denounced him ( Mr O'C ) not for opposing free-trade , but beeause he weni further than them , and told them they wanted free-trade iu legislation , as well as in bread . The _> had it , and how did they like it ? ( A voice— ' We never got it ') They had now more tban two hundred new members returned at the last election , in consequence of pledges to do something for thpeople , and yet he ( Mr O'Connor ) pronounced the present , tke most c irrupt parliament , which ever sat . ( Cheer ? . ) Why did he tell them this ? TV teach them i hit all these _things wbich had been

      promised them , had done them no go » d _, and tbat profiting by past times they should not be deceived an ) longer . They had nowawoiU _awaken'ng to free d m . Crowns were _facing—thrones were crumb bling—( a voice— ' Increase the number ') , and there rfv-8 no country where there was so much despotism as in this . Tbey wero asked to wait a little longer until tbe sane mind of the country has _propounded its system of reform . He ( Mr O'Connor ) told them in 1829 that they would vol _nothing by the Reform Bill , and they got _nothing b _> it . They had got nothing by tree trade . Now they were a ? ked to unite again . Now he ( Mr O'Connor ) would not trust unless he was trusted . ( _L-uid capering . ) Juggled so often—deceived so often—he

      said , if their principles were to benefit the many , lei them go with the many . ( Hear . ) They bad no antipathy to the middle classes . ( No , no . ) They said that the raan who was shut up in a poor-law bastile . was not , sn good a customer as the man who was at work , The people had come ta a _resoluti m that the next conflict for labour was one in which the _ptojibshould not _bejuculeil . If _theruiddo _olasses would come and join them , they w _>> uld open their arms to receive them ; bnt if they thought ol plucking one bristle from the animal—if they thought of changing tbe name of it , the people would bave _nothing to _dwith them . ( Cheers ) The Frenoh people did pot ask for the Charter , but they got it before the _English had decided up » n it . And _wht-n they who wera not

      prepared fur ic had got it , were they ( the _Endisb ) _, _though death should staru them in the faoa , to be satisfied without it ? W hy were the French not so prepared for it as the English ? It was not the fault o ' tha people , but of their tyrants . The people of En « land knew their rights . Ii had been his ( M _> O'Connor ' s ) study through life to organise public opinion , and to direct it . He _wasof opinion that no persons understood the labour question so well as the working people of England . Take the land from the parsons who now _piweseed it—for it was intended for the benefit ot the fiuck , nnd not for that of the idle shepherds . ( _Chten . ) If the tithe property were appropriated to morrow , it wonld locate five millions of persons , and allow each father of a family . £ 50 to

      begin with . ( Cheers . ) Would they be told that men ' s souls were lo be 9 aved by tha perch , thc rood _, and the acre , and not by their own exertions ? Would the middle classes never _bc-j to the land 1 See how they would be _^ benefited by a proper appropriation _<>( the land . If they had five millions of persons located _, and allowed that each only took £ 3 worth of manufactured _gonds in _.- » year , that would be fifteen millions , which would be five times as much a * ihe Americans take . After a few more _observations , showing the benefit the middle classes would derive from looating the surplus labour on the land , while the _people located would be removed from starvation to comfort , Mr O'Connor said , he would lay to tha middle classes .

      • Ye ones , come and join the thousands . ' Heshould be denounced by the press to-morrow , but the denunciation oi faction was adulation . When the press bfgan to praise hira , then let the people suspect him . W > re aot their principles worth living for , and worth dyim ; tor ? Faction always _rejoiced i ver the _differences of the people , but they were mistaken if they thought they were going to see their _rank-i broken up . However sorry be might feel in his own breast , because he could not _plcaao all of them ; however the National _Assembly or any other men might _abu-e him . he would not desert them , but when they had done , like man and wife they could kiss and make it up again . ( Cheers ) Perhaps his voice wa _^ _wesri , and hia energy iniizht be fading or gone ; bu

      _? till bis Irish blood was warm in their cause . And if there were men who eould see through the kaleide _? cope at one vie w more than he could , he wished t hero God speed . Why should he check them ? fledid notlike to see ardent spirits too much checked ; and if they had tbe people with them he would go with them too . ( Cheers . ) Look at Ireland with her Mitchel and O'Brien . As soon a » these young rrei talk about fighting the government secretary comes down and wants to quadruple the elective franchise . No famil y had suffered so muoh in the cause of freedom as his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) family . lie had _suckeo rtvolution from his mother ' s breast ; he had been rocked in a rev _ilutio ary cradle , and had sworn t hisG > d that , if need be . be wonld die for his coun

      try _m endeavourin ? to obtain tbeir _rijjhts . ( Loud cheers ) Did they suppose he was going to be jug gled outof his shard of the present movement ? Giviup the name of the hrg to morrow , and the whole animal would be buried the next day . If anvthine was to be gained it was by being resolved . If ihey surrendered pnything they would lose all . In the Sturge Conference they preserved it well , and if they gave it upnow they would think them weaker than they were then . They talked of giving them Universal Suffrage , but he wai afraid their _Univeri-a Suffrage meant Household Suffrage ; and he would rather have Annual Parliaments with the _presen '

      suffrage , than Septennial _Parliaments with Universal Suffrage . With Septennial Parliaments members juggled them for six years , and then turned good just at last , when they wanted _elictini * _asain . It a man deceived him _onoe he blamed him for it ; but it ho deceived him a second time he blamed biuisel ' , Referring again to the Land question , Mr _O'Coiinor said , they were bringing thoir food three thousand _raWes across the Atlantic , and then many miles mo _> e by inland transit to Mark lane , while tbeir own land _*** _as crying , ' ¦ fjome and' till me . ' Instead of beinn in a Poor Law bastile , his notion of a labouring man I was that tho unwilling idler should be aa well fed as the _tsan _wko was at _werk . The man who _resa from

      his bed ofstraw able and willing to work _/ with his children crying tor bread , tbat man wa _^ as deserving of food as any ether , and _oujjbt to be provided for by the state . _Ar-. d every man who worked eight hours ¦ % day ought to bavo as good a breakfast , as good a dinner , as good a tea , as good a supper , and as good a bed to lie down upon as the Queen had . ( Cheers . ) Who fed the Queen ? Wbo supported h _^ r f . _traily ? The families ofthe piorwere sent by God , it was said , as a curse to them , but her family w & _a a bles--ing to her . When , on the 10 th of April , they marched through tho police force , the specials , and the military to Kennington Common , the bishops addressed her Majesty . He should like to know _wheie the loyalty of tiie bishops and parsons would bo if they took away their tithes ; where would the byally of the landlords ba if they took away their _rm's ? and whero would the loyalty ot the specials le ilthey only left them their staves to feed upon 1 lie confessed to them that his loyalty never _burstedhioi , ahd

      never troubled him much . Lord _Bolingbroko said , ' It is as n . uch the duty of the people to rebel against a corrupt Hou _* eof Commons , as ith to lehol againit a tyrannical prince . ' Mark , ( to the _reporters , ) those are not . nay words ; they are the words of Lord _Colingbrolce . _t do not say that , our Ilouse of Commons is corrupt , so you may send it t' _- > the Secretary forthe Home Department , the Attorney-General , or the Attorney General ' s devil—a person who it very well known . ( Liughter . ) I do not say that our Prince is ty r « _nnical—how could she be ? She is a woman . There can be no tyranny in petticoats . ( Laughter . ) _But , as be had said , there was a power behind the throne greater than the throne _itself , so there was a power under the QueenV

      _ptfc ' . iooabi' greater _thm the Queen herself—a power wbich ho ( Mr O'C . ) would not venture to enter upon , lest be might violate the Crown and _Guvernmrnt Protection Act . ( Roars ol laughter . ) It was tho most astonishing thing in tt-. e world to him , that a man twenty-ono years old , had not sense enough to have a vote ' or a member of patltaroent _, and a girl of eighteen should havo sense enough to govern a country . Tbey had no government _no-v . Lord John Russell had no power . Th » v _e- 'iild tarn him out to morrow night , but for the Tories . It was that hypocrite , Peel , who kept him in otfioo . He ( Mr O'Connor ) liked Poel onoe , but his hypocrisy had turned his blood to gall . A plebeian _hinise _.-f _, he was seeking the countenance of the

      _afit'tocracy and the cofifi ' lenco in the rnoneyocracy . The demonstration which he had seen that day had quicke-ned hi * blcod . Ue had been denounced for not moving fa-t enough _, lie had always been _gjing befor _« , and calling , ' Cotae after rae , ' and nobody came ; but as soon _ai there was an impetus given to the cause-, they ran and mid , ' Come after us" and he would go after them . He would ask the middle classes of Leicester if they thought that if ha were denounced by the press—it : hey hotindtd the whole world—even his own _chilwn--upon bird , did they suppose be would abandon his principles ? No ! If they were to do so to-morrow be would die with thera , rather eban in another party . ( Cteers . ) Rather than

      desert it he would travel with his infant naked through the land . He had carried it under his coat when it wf > i > a litt _' e one , he had nursed it until it was of a monstrous size , and withal of beautiful _proportions . Many never heard of the Charter until the 10 th of April . Peop ' e now began to ask if that was the rickety bantling which required all those police and specials to puc it down , he would defy them to prove that there was anything vicious in any of its principles . Annual Par : _iamnnts meant _sh » rt accounts ; ene year , and what shopkeeper _likod more ? Universal Suffrage was . that every man who was taxed , should have a voice i i sending a _representative co make the taxes . Vote b' Ballot was to protect thera from injury forgiving

      a honest vote .- and Equal Electoral _Di-tricts wou d p-event a small town having as much influence as a large one , as was the case at present . No _Properti Qualification was , that they might send any honest raan they liked , whether he had money or not ; and Payment of Members would enable them to elect a working man if they chose . They must not remove on ° bristle from _fcliis . This would be tue time for an r tul man to truckle ; to turn round and join in a . 'itating for some moderate measure' * . But he had tiffeied for them , and nursed and nurturriu them in th ; principles of the Charter , and lie would not -bindon either it , or its name . ( Cheers . ) If tbe people _sunendered any portion , it would all be sur . _rendered for them . The Charter was his eldest so . "

      and the Land was his daughter , and , although it was n t legitimate , he _h'iped to marry them sometime Althou _.-h his uialth was not good , _tnanks to tho lunatics in the Ilouse of Commons , hd came amongst tbem , and would travel tbe length and breadth of tne land ; from East to West , and frora North South , _btf . _ire thay should bo _deluded tbis time . ( _Ctlterd _. ) If thoy were honest , tbey would join ihe p ople , and , i . ' not , tliey wguld sliun them , They _

      _« nd never wrong for long . What he had seen that day convinced hiro tbatth- re waa tt _power behind tbe throne , < _tronucr even tban the throne itaolf . ( Cheers . ) Een Ireland ivasjnniDg them , and nbat government could withstand that ? Tluy could not _raaiat such a force an that . Althongh he was called a demagogue , thtre was ao : a woman in tbat large assembly with a tenderer neart than his . As Nap . deon said of Murat , he wai a woman in tbe cabinet , a lion in the field If the _surrender of bis life was necessary for their principles , take it ; rVir , by flod ! ho would _ratber die a freeman , tban _livi ; a _alave . ( Cueer * ) Tbat was the _lauguagt h » had _apoken ¦ n t _»>© Honooof Cjmmons . Tho largo muster roll ( a placard , issued by the Reform L ague ) , he had seen en nia way tothe _t'O'c ! thnt day , had no magic for him . If

      the mid'le classes were not prepared to trust the people , 'he people were not prepared to tru _» t the middle classes . M w times were _coming . It was impossible to Bay what a month , it _wa 9 impossible to eay what a fortnight , or even wbat a week , might bring forth . Il _waBitnpoBidnle to soy wbat the Irish trials wouli _effect nest Monday . His opinion was , tho Irish had borno _oppression too long . ( Cheers ) _Wbenuver the _Chariists wer « tired "f hira , thero was a field open for bim ; let ihim bbj tbat tbdy were tired of him , nnd there was another _plsce for him . ( 'Weare not . ' ) Ona of his ohildren , seventy _ycari of age , said they conld not spare him . H _, had the _'arrest family of any man living , and bad _cMldr . n thirty years older than himself . When he left that meeting , he Bhould travel to London ; and on _Tuesday n \ ght

      he ehould be ill tbe House of Commons , aad should see f they would tount him with the failure of that _proocB-* i < m and _meeting . lie should see , also ,- what the press said . The women were the best men now . ( Laughter . * They wero afraid of _joioing Chartism when the men were taken from them , but now they wero beginning to bave a desire to smell the fresh air , and live upon the land , they came amongst the _Coarttsts , He wished there was not a man there that night , but that they _wetb all women . Lot the middle classes _understand that , so long as he _livvd _, he would rather te a private tn tbe Chartist ranks , than a general in any other as a de . _ser-cr . Letthemundirstaiidth . it , while all other na . turn were _projrcsalns , the noble army of Chartism were not going to retrograde , Let them understand that tbo penp e , coming Into Leicester with their baskets on a Saturday , taking the value of their produce in goods

      would be betts r customers than the men in a Poor Law bastile . Thero must be failures in a great cause , but _success was the _Inuvitable result . Where _wei-e the man who would not rather die at once in the ranks of Freedom , than in tho ranks of _Oppression t Ifbe was asked whither he would _proft r being found amongst tho ranks of the slain of a people fighting for tlieir liberties , or living among the rich _oppresoors , be sbould chose to be ouad _amongst the slain . ( _Cheira . ) Uo should watch the progress of the middle class , _moviment . If thej marched _onwurd , ho would go with them ; but If thej ia £ ircd behind , be sbould kick tbem like a mule . It was f _« r them he h _. ld that trust ; a > d for them he would discharge it and , as long as theru nag lifo in him , he should stand by the ;' rlibrr ; le 3 and ihe Charter ; and if there were younger men than him , who were _disposed to ijo a-bead , he should go on with tbem . ( Mr O'Connor resumed his _soat amidst 1 md cheering )

      Mr _Bockri moved : — ' That this meeting is cf opinion tbat the able and _unfl ncbing _advocaty of tbe people's rightB by Feargus O'Cennor , E : q _, is deserving of the support of evtry lover of freiduni , and pledges itself , at all times , to give bim thtir hear y support . ' Mr Beedham _eaconded tht resolution , which waB car rli d unanimously . Mr _MiBKHdM gave a detailed account oftho attempts f tbo Tory _magistrates to prev > nt the procession , end ot ho way in whioh tbey were deflated , and _movi-d : — ' That this masting tender their fcearty _thatks to the major and _Liberal magistrates , who resisted iho at . tempts of the Tcrloa to put a stop to tho meeting to-lay ' Mr Watts seconded tho resolution , which was _cariiel unanimously .

      Mr O'Connob said , tbey had seen two shows of single _hands—an'l he was now going to mora and 3 _ccond a resolution himsiIf , All those who were _determined to p rs ' _.-voro for the points of tho Charter , nnd to _preaorveits name , would signify the same by holding up both imndh I Tbis was _responded to with great enthusiasm , ) He had another appeal to make to thero . He hoped those who could support the Chartist _cbusj by their contributions would do so . Let them not tnko any notice of him and any other parties _Bquahbllng a bit ; it would soon _bfl over , and all would be right a _^ ain . He had baen prosecuted for tltho agitation , and had to quit his countiy for thirteen months , for _favouring Wl

      _leaboyism _. H « had been _triod iu Ireland and In _England and they must tako cars how they tried him again . It might ba his turn to try tbtm next .

He faw ao danger to property or tO Ufa 1 " granting to tho pet'ple what they were entitled to : but he did see great danger in deferring to give ih . m what thoy were entitled to .

      Manifesto Of 'Ihr Executive Committee Of...

      MANIFESTO OF 'iHR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE . " All men aro born equal . " " All men should be politically equal " '' The will ofthe majority > himld be law . " " All laws made by the t / ipjori _' -y should be law . " " All Uw made by the miuoritv Bhould be l all and void .

      The National Assen _. bl y having been elected by Universal Suffrage , arid admitted tt » be a fair representation of Chartist mitiel _tind opinion , have elected us provisionally to carry their will into practical effect , we feel it cur duty to address the people in plain terms on their present position and future prospects : we therefore appeal to you to practice conciliation to others , and charity among yourselves , in the expression of opinion , and to remember that knowledge and union are power .

      Divine and conquer is the maxim of your enemies—union and strength _jtre the requisites for the people . We have witnessed with feelings of regret , that the press has chuckled over the idea of imaginary division among the true friends of the people , at a time when a weak government halted between concession to the popular will , and a morbid adhesion to a system more to be feared than Russian despotism . We call on all men who have the weal of their country at heart , to stand by the truth of the principles of the Charter , and rally aroun 4 the standard of freedom . Remember your old

      _motto" ONWARD AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL !" Abstract principles , true in themselves ,, are lost to the present and future welfare of manic ind , if practical steps be not taken to reduce principles of admitted worth to a working realisation . Already you have signed numerous petitions , and the Imperial Parliament have laughed at y our wrongs and insulted your miseries . You are many—your oppressors are few—union on your part is weakness to your enemies . England increases in wealth and misery * annuitants , landowners , hankers , and capitalists grow rich , and the labourers—who are the producers of all—starve and die of hunger and want .

      The National Assembly are now ahout to present the People ' s Memorial to the Queen . We call on the people to support that expression of their will . The National Petition has heen received with insult . We exhort you to strengthen the hands of the Assembly—your representatives , and of the Executive—your servants , on this momentous occasion . Display the undivided power of your cooperation and _ore-anisation ; let not faction shield itself under ithe idea ofa partial _suppoif This Memorial is the People ' s Will—let the people he prepared to avow it as such .

      I he _National Assembly—your veritable representatives—haveagreed to a Plan of Organisation , at once correct in principle and efficient in detail , and wait for the support of the good men and true of England , Scotland , and Ireland . Grant us but your aid , and the long and protracted agitation for political rights will be brought to a close , our country take its place among the free nations of Europe , and an acknowledgment of the rights of man be the standing motto of national greatness , and the permanent security of the State . We address you as the Provisional Comy nittee , elected by the National Assembly , subject to your will , and waiting for your approval and _support .

      J he "Liberty Fund "—a proposition to raise by voluntary subscription the sum of ten thousand pounds—will , itself , he a practical test of your sincerity . Give vs but the means , and the end is sure . The harvest depends on tbe seed-time , and the ultimatum of the people ' s hopes on their self-sacrifice and devotion to the great cause of human right . We acknowledge no power but to the people—we owe no allegiance but to the people ; we are their servants—they , our musters .

      Be united , and will to be free . A nation ' s voice must rule . Support your friends in the hour of trial . Remember the glorious watchword of your French neighbours , " Vox po ~ puli , vox Dei . "—" The voice of the people is the voice of God ! ' ' Up , then fellow countrymen—to your duty . Organise , organise , organise ! Enrol , enrol , enrol ! Let us have one million of men , organised according to our plan , and we shall proclaim the Charter ! Yours , in the cause of Chartism and Fraternity , P . M . M DOUWLL . JOHN M'CRAE . SAMUEL KYDD . ERNEST JOKES .
