      UPON THE NECESSARY PURITY AND POWER OF TEE PRESS . TO THE _SDIIOE . OF _TIIE _SOMHEIIS STAK . Sir . —I _sm _dtsirous _, through the medium of the Star , to draw the attention of the Executive , the General Council , end tbe Chartist body , to the powers cf the _prcs 3 , in furthering or injuring our _imited bul _TOirks . My apology ( if ono is needed ) for addressing the _peoples elected officers is , that they are fallible men lis * _ourselves , hut more particularly , _because I con ceive , that the life Ezecniivs did cot pay sufHcienfc attention to , or mimata _Kfastaitiy-tao importance cf this ssrjtct—a _sulject second to none other . I am bold to _s'atc this , because they _fave their sanction a _psper _edited ty one of their body , which , at _commencrmf-jst . did , week after week , publish under the Spirit < f the Charfet Press , _ths leading articles the Ods l ' eilosr ; which articles invited the _people f . _jrra air . tber National Association , for some other suffrage , that _c-.-nid be agreed upon by all parties ; fsct , a backward movement ; and therefore deseitlon the Charter , -. aid the National Charter Association which course every Chartist will now admit would fatal to that object for which cambers have sacriued so icuch . How " this _Executive-sanctioned print ended its _csreer , way be seen b y rtferenc-j to its last numbers to & e in slander and abuse cf the sitting Chartists Who opposed tho backsliding policy ef the Editors .

What I have written of tbe western paper is in sorrow that one who had ever appeared and declared _himself an uncompromising democrat , should have sent forth & uch odd articles under the title of Chartism ; but my solo orj ; ct is _byreconVnj ; one great fault oi the late , to inncce tho present _Eseautive not to sanction any publication , or honour it with the name of _Cfaarti .-i . that does Eot throughout advocate true _strathtforwara Chartism and no surrender .

Gentlemen , —Having taken into our most serious consideration the delegate meeting that has been announced in the Star to be held at Colne , on July 3 rd , we beg leave to offer yon our opinions ( at the same time we would state that it is tho opinion of a majority of tho localities of North Lancashire ) , that the delegate meeting is uncalled for , and that it would put tho country to a very great expencc and inconvenience , and that , instead of promoting union , it would create division and discontent ; and as we havo just elected an _Execntivo for the government and guidance of our _agitation , it is unnecessary to elect any other body . We therefore recommend that no delegates should be sent ; as a delegate meeting will in a short time be called bv the District Secretary of North Lancashire for that district . And another reason that the delegate meeting should not take place , is , because that out of eighteen localities only four delegates were sent to the meeting at Blackburn , from which the calliug of this meeting has _spruug . We remain yours , The _unflinching advocates of the Charter , William Beesley , District Secretary for North Lancashire . Thomas Tatteksaix , Burnley . John Slater , _Ciitheroe .

      THE APPROACHING "END !" THE SQUEAKING OF THE SHOPOCRAOY . The shopkeepers are now holding meetings : meeting of _therese ' _ves , and called by themselves . And for what purpose ! To _sgwecftout their suffering consequent on general distress ! To declare that "something must be done to relievo the starving population , or _ivretriavable buin is their inevitable portion" ! To call for ( he " united" e ff orts of all classes and parties , to press upon GOVERNMENT the imperative necessity for " speedy remedial measures" ! How times have changed ! How lowered is the tone , how humble the manner , of the once hectoring , blustering , shopocraey of England ! How _different now their bearing and language , to their bearing and language in the year 1817 ! Then all bluster , all boast , all feather ; now " ruinated " , " bankrupt " , "insolvent " , " dark _atd gloomy retrospect " , '' still more dark prospect " , and "hope entirely fled " . Great God ! how just thou art ! In the year 1817 , upwards of a million-and-a-half of working Englishmen petitioned for a Radical Reform of the Parliament . The labouring portion of the country was then in a state of great distress . It _was manifest to them that that distress arose from excessive taxation ; from an enormous expenditure and waste of the public money ; from pensions , dividends , sinecures , grants , and emoluments , and from other causes of wasteful expenditure ; all which arose from a want of due representation of the people in Parliament ; and that no remedy could be applied unless the Parliament was Radically Reformed . They traced the sufferings and the distress that then prevailed to the want of a Reform in the Parliament . They saw and loudly proclaimed that the distress then existing would spread ; that ruin and misery would be the lot of all ; that the earnings of no man ever could be called his own , unless measures of bemedy and security were passed , through the means of a Radically Re- i \ _ o _ . . , .. _° _J ° l L _™ _± _?™ ' formed Parliament . All this was seen and declared by the labouring class in the year 1817 ; and up- j wards of a _miiiisa-and-a-half of them signed peti- tions to Parliament , setting forth in clear and dis- licet terms the reasons that prompted them to ask for such Radical Reform . Where were the shopkeepers then ? ! D ! d they " units" with the labourers , to ask Government to avert impending ruin ? Bid they encourage and sustain the _walking people , in their endeavours to stop the _process of that system which was pauperizing the worker , stripping the cottage , and preparing to empty the till ? Did they lend their aid to strangle tho monster which , even then , was eating into tho vitals of the nation ; and which , it was plainly shown , would shortly raven up the shopkeepers themselves \ Did they then " SYMPATHISE" with the poor ; give vent to their bewailings ; and call upon Government to adopt " speedy remedial measures ?'> Did they then do these things ? No ! They basely calumniated the working people ! They traduced vilified , and persecuted the known Reformers . They denied the existence of distress . They applied the epithets " idle scoundrels ! " " scum ! " " worthless rabble ! '' " disaffected mob ! " to those who complained They " UNITED" TO LEARN HOW TO SHOOT THE RAGGED RASCALLY RADICALS ! They mounted their horse ? , pat on their " uniforms , " dubbed themselves " CAVALRY , " and with newly-ground sabres , and with " courage" inspired by drink , embraed their dunccons with hundreds of Reformers ; for driving ' hands in the blood of hundreds of the working people peaceably assembled to petition the Parliament for those " remedial measures" which these same " cavalry men" now so " humbly pray" for ! 0 God ! thou indeed art just ! Yes ! they then " united" to learn " military exercise" ; to learn how to SKOOT . They then " united" in "VOLUNTEER , Associations" , to repreEs " _dhaffestion and "sedition" by means of the firelock and _rifla ! And they met in public meetings too ! For what purpose ? To applaud the Government for passing Power-of-Imprisonment bills ! for passing the SIX ACTS ; for cramming the poor Rilev to cut his throat ; for shaking ths bowels out of poor _Oonss { for employing _Onvnn and Edwabxs to hatch plots and conspiracies all over the country ; for hanging and beheading Thistlewood , _Bbunt _, Ings , and Davison , in London ; and for tucking np to tbo gallows Brandretii and his fellow martyr at Derby . Yea ! tho shopocraey then met not only to do these things , but oven more . THEY LED THE WAY to the persecution of the Reformers ! They did not wait till Government persecuted , and then applaud ; but they paved the _tcay ; they hardened Government on ; ! thfty _calIed u ? on Jt t 0 F rocee < _J » " they pledged themselves to its support , should it do their bidding ! In this work , the shopkeepers of Manchester took the lead . They were followed b y their brethren in London _5 and then throughout the country .

Several resolutions were _passsd with entire _unanin % _^ _Si S , _« ™ S declaration agreed to , which CANNOT BE TOO HIGHLY APPLAUDED , and which we trust will be adopted by all other towns .. ' DECLARATION . _t _/ K _^ _s _^ undersigned _macistrates for the Division of Manchester , the _lioroughreevesmd _Constoi _& fi of Manchester and Saiford , and other inhabitants of these towns and their neighbourhood , being at all times fully sensible of the many blessings of the constitution , under which we live , feel _ourselves called upon at this moment to express our fiTmattachmenttoits lawsfss well as our utter de- s s ni of t by of it few that any 1 , l per years SIX

      . testation of those mischievous attempts which are pursued with incessant diligence and ardour , to excite a general spirit of disaffection . We especially de prelate the circulation of seditious tracts and the adoption of _itJammalorff speeches to produce AN IMPRESSION AMONGST THE LABOURIN CLASSE _? THAT THE PRESENT DIS TRESSES AND PRIVATIONS ARE ATTRI BUTABLE TO THE CORRUPTION AND MISCONDUCT OF GOVERNMENT , and may be removed by a Bystem of representation , embracing almost Universal Suffrage , Annual Parliaments , the unqualified exclusion of all persons , deriving emolu ment from the public , and consequently of his Ma jesiy _^ s Ministers , , _. . 2 . The numerous meetings held for these purposes both publicly and secretly , the organized sy 3 temof committees , delegates , and missionaries , the contribu tions levied , particularly for disseminating pamph lets , calculated to mislead and irritate the public mind , tho indecorous and highly unconstitutional refections upon the exalted Personage noio exer cising the regal authority , the marked disparagement of the most * extensive charitable relief iu _seasons of unavoidable pressure , the language of intimidation not merely hinted , but plainly expressed , tho appointment of popular assemblies in various parts of the kingdom on one and the same day , after the meeting of Parliament , and the _preuious assembly deputies in London ; all those _circumstances afibrd strong manifestation of meditated disorder and tumult , and bear no analogy whatever to the fair and legitimate exercise of that constitutional liberty which is emphatically the birthright and security of Englishmen . . ... 3 . With these decided sentiments it is our duty unite in supporting the laws and constitution against these wicked efforts , which we are convinced must be regarded with equal abhorrence by the great majority of His Majesty ' s subjects in every class and condi tion of society . We , therefore , severally PLEDGE ourselves to contribute , by the most effectual means our _situations may allow , to the maintenance arid tranquillity of these towns and their neighbourhood from the unlawful and NEFARIOUS designs those who are SEEKING TO INVOLVE US IN RIOT AND CONFUSION ; and we earnestl solicit the co-operation of all friends of SOCIAL ORDER and good government . '" Working People ; such were the purposes for which the shopocraey of England met in tho year 1817 ! In nineteen days after the above meeting , the scoundrel merchants and bankers of London , " met and issued their equally false and lying " Declara tion . " This was followed by similar meetings all parts of the country . The base wretches who drew up and signed those " Declarations" knew that they were upholding oppression and corruption They knew that they were upholding that which was tho cause of infinite suffering to the poor . They knew that ; but it was then profitable ! They hoped to fatten themselves while tho poor starved ! They knew that the Reformers did not want to involve the kingdom in riot and confusion ; nobod knew this better than they did ; and yet they could deliberately and coolly be the first to put forth lies and false alarms , for the deliberate purpose of paving the way for measures to take the Reformers lives , or to shut them up in dungeons 1 The above report is a sample of their attempts to cause the Reformers to be driven out of the country , or to be put in chains ! Soon after the issuing of their never-to-be-forgotten " declarations , " Castle reagh ( whose horrid end all know of ) opened out the Green-bag conspiracy ; and the _Power-of Imprison ment Bill was passed ! and Sidmouth crammed the dungeons ! How many victims , good Ged ! suffered under those terrible laws , of which these base and lying " declarations" were the forerunners ! When we think of these things , we can hardly refrain from wishing to see the whole group lie in the dust with horse-flesh or draff half-chewed in their mouths ! The men , however , who met for these horrid purposes in 1817 , and again in 1822 , have now a dif ferent object to meet about ! They now see ruin staring them in the face ! They now see property transferred from hand to hand , and cannot divine the cause ! They _nmfeel the pinchings of distress and < ue _7 have before them the prospect of speedy pauperism ! They are now " humble" enough , God knows ! so humble that " they do not even venture to express an opinion as to the cause of the wide pread suffering now endured , or to dictate a remedy" ! so " humble" that "theywill content themselves with barely stating what their condition is , leaving it to the WISDOM and EXPERIENCE of GOVERNMENT to devise » remedy" !! Strange fact ; but so it is ; the shopkeepers of Manchester have led ihe way in this new meeting business 1 Strange faot ; but so it is ! Manchester ;—Manchester ; that led the way to tho dungeoning of the Reformers in 1817;—Manchester , that exulted in the deeds of the sixteenth cf August ;—Manchester , that chuckled at the Oldham inquest;—Manohotter , that applauded the Grand Jury , of which Lord Stanley was foreman;—Manchester , that nest of cruelty , infamy , foolishness , and hypocrisy;—Manchester has been the first to cry out that the merchants and shopkeepers are kuined ! Never were malignant wretches more appropriately punished ! Bear in miad that these tools of corruption—these cruel tyrants—sought to have the Reformers put in dungeons ; harassed , chained , dragged from gaol to gaol ; put out of existence this way , or sabred or trampled to death , beoause they wanted a Reform of the Parliament to prevent that very ruination whioh has now come upon the shopkeeping class ! because they ascribed the distresses of the country to the misconduct of the Government ! 0 ! God , is just ! His judgments are manifest ! The cup of poison which the base shopocraey prepared for the Radicals has returned to their own lips ! The mischief which they had invented for others has fallen on their own pates ! Into the pit which they had dug for their neighbours have they now themselves fallen ! Leeds has ollowed the example of Manchester , in holding a Squeaking Meeting . Upwards of 200 of the shopkeepers and tradesmen presented a requiition to the Mayor , desiring him to call a public _meeting of their body , "to make known the UNPARALLELED DISTRESS which prevails in the Borough , and t _\ m gradual DECAY OP TRADE consequent thereon ; and to adopt such measures relative thereto as may be deemed advisable , regardless of all party considerations , with a view to avert impeadingruin . " The Mayor ( seeing that they were not Chartists ) granted their request , and gave them tho use of the Court House to meet in . He moreover presided over their meeting , holden on Wednesday ght last . It was numerously attended ; princicipally by shopkeepers . The platform or bench , was crowded by the Leeda bawlers for " Extension Commerce "; nearly every one of them was present ; " clever" Plintand"clear"Stansfeld being about the only persons absent . They seemed to be congregated together to proclaim their own _shamelessness , and the credulity of the dupes who have joined them in their bawling . « Extensions of Commerce" were placed upon their trial ; testimony was adduced as t _» their effects upon the condition of the peoplo at large ; and sorry testimony it was ! Two overseers of tho poor testified hat more than one-fifth of tho whole population was pauperised ; that the _shepkeepera were without custom ; that the spirits of tho poor wero broken ; that oertain ruin awaited all , unless relief waB speedily obtained . Their statements were borno out several different tradesmen , whoso opportunities judging were ample . One of the visitors connected with the late relief-fund in the Borough gave in as a fact that he bad found many families whose united income , derived both from labour and from parish-pay did not exceed 5 _£ d . per head per week ! Another statement , made on the authority of some operatives who had made the examination , was , thirty-four families , comprising S 04 individuals , were found , in a very circumscribed district , without income at all ! and that 207 families , comprising 009 individuals , bad incomes , derived from both abour and tho poor-rates , amounting only to Is . 3 d . head per week ! And this is the stato of the working people , after all the "Extensions of Commerce" that we have had ! During the last fifty wo have increased our foreign trade neariy TIMES OVER ; and this destitute and starving condition of both operative and shopkeeper is the price ! Hurrah , Jada _, for " Ex .

      - G - - - - , - - - of . to - , of y " - in y ' - - - tension o ? Commerce" ! g our foreign trade six times over in one fifty years brings both operative and shopkeeper to the workhouse ; how many more " Extensions" will it need to bring us to anarchy and dissolution ? There i £ a question for you , " Extension" men ! Solve it ! Let us have the answor ! and meanwhile we will cry out—Hurrah ! for " Extension of Commerce" ! The meeting was unanimous in its resolves . The speeches of the speakers were but detached portions as it were , of the horrible picture pourtrayed ; but the meeting put them together in one conneoted whole ! Let it be attentively looked at ! Let it be _thoroughly scanned ! View it in all its phases Contemplate its every feature .. Rf fleet upon what is thus presented to view . Here we gazette the resolutions of this meeting as tho TRIUMPHS , * OP " EXTENDED" COMHISKCE . 1 . " That this meeting views with alarm the present unparalleled distress and suffering experienced by the productive classes in the manufacturing and commercial population of the United Kingdom , more especially those who reside in the borough of Leeds , many thousands of whom arc entirely depending for their subsistence on parochial' relief or charitable contribu tions , without having the most remote prospect of again obtaining employment;—That vast numbers of sober , honest , and industrious artizans in this borough have received parochial relief during the last twelve months , who have never been chargeable to the parish on any former occasion ; and very many others are already reduced from comparative comfort to the most abject poverty , who have not yet applied for parochial aid , although their scanty income does not enable them to purchase a sufficiency of the necessaries of life;—That it is a well ascertained fact that in the township of Leeds , at the present time , there are not less than 4040 families , composing upwards of 16 , 000 persons receiving parochial aid . This shows that about one-fifth of the whole population of the township are reduced to the condition of paupers , and there is every reason to believe that nearly all the other townships in the borough arc in an equally distressing situation ; and , although this is the most favourable season of the year lor procuring outdoor employment , the number of paupers is still on the increase . 2 . " That in consequence of the extreme poverty of so large a population , and the numerous failures of merchants and manufacturers in this district , tradesmen arc deprived of a large portion of their former trade , and have now to contend with insuperable difficulties ; for the shopkeepers and innkeepers pay a larger amount of-local rates and taxes , in proportion to their means , than any other class in the community , and they are aware that their local rates must shortly be augmented to a larger amount than has ever been known before ; that for a considerable time past their trade has been gradually diminishing with reduced profits , and many of tho most honourable , industrious , and intelligent amongst them , have already been brought from comparative affluence to poverty ; and as there docs not appear to be the slig htest prospect of any improvement in trade , this meeting is of opinion that unless the Legislature can speedily adopt remedial measures to remove the distress that generally prevails , nothing can save tradesmen in manufacturing districts from impending ruin ; and no one can contemplate the awful consequences that must ensue from such a state of things , without entertaining the most serious apprehension for the continuance of public peace and order . 3 . " That this meeting , solemnly believing that the safety and well-being of the community will be seriousl y endangered by the much longer continuance of the existing state of things , turns with the utmost anxiety to the Legislature , beseeching it most earnestly to institute an immediate and searching inquiry as to the extent of distress amongst the manufacturing population , in order to ascertain the causes thereof , and to the instant application of such remedies , as its wisdom and experience may suggest . 4 . " That a Memorial be transmitted to Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen , and that Petitions be sent to both Houses of Parliament embodying the foregoing Resolutions , and signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting . " Well done , "Estension " -men ! Can you add to your own picture ? Remember it is painted after a SIX-TIMES increase of our foreign trade during the las . fifty years ! Remember that you yourselves tell us that we were " well to do , " when we began to " extend" our commerce ! Remember that you yourselves tell us that even when bread wa 3 7 s . per stone , the working man could get it ; because he had wages for working ! Remember that you yourselves tell us , that the workman ' s prido waa to have a goad furnished homo ; and that an eight-days clock was an indispensible I Remember that you yourselves describe him now as being without bed , without clothing , and withont food ! Remember that this is AFrER A S 1 X-T 1 ME _3-OVER INCREASE OF OUR FOREIGN TRADE ; and remember , also that YOU tell us that another " extension" will set us all right !! !!! One peculiarity attending this meeting we cannot but notice . Great pains wero taken to make the meeting believe that the parties calling it were influenced by no party considerations ; that their one and sole object was to give an opportunity to tho shopkeepers of Leeds to detail their present _suffering ; and to paint their rain in prospect ; and then leave the Government to devise a remedy All politics were to be eschewed by the meeting . _Wiae foresight ! The causes of tho "impending ruia" are not political ones , of course ! The remedy , even though it should be another " Extension of Commerce" through a Repeal of the Corn Laws , will not be a political one ! Politics lrave nothing to do with the wide-spread misery aud poverty everywhere _aboundiiiK ! 0 , no ! no politics ! Aud thus the shopkeepers are gulled ! The parties calling the meeting first meet in secret , and send up Hamer Stansfeld- and Co . to London , to attend another anti-Corn Law Conference ; and to press a Repeal of the Corn Laws upon tha Minister ; when they have taken this step , they call together a meeting of the Leods shopkeepers , and get them to pass resolutions to strengthen tho hands of Hamer and his asso ciates , to procure for themselves " another Extension of Commerce" and they do this on tho pretence that political considerations aro to be hold in abeyance Famous foxes ! and gaping geeso !! Tho third resolution drawn up by the Leeds " Extensiou " _-men , and agreed to by the Leeds shopkeepers , we commend to tho especial notice of the Ten Hours' Committees' Deputation that waited upon Sir Robert Peel and tho other Ministers in the month of fJanuary last . We remember tho yell of disapprobation raised by the " Extension' * men , and especially by the Leeds ones , because that Deputation ventured to recommend the Minister to propose to the Parliament to " institute an immediate and searching inquiry as to tho extent of distress amongst the manufacturing population , in order to ascertain the causes thereof , and to the instant application of such remedies as its wisdom and experience might suggest . " And , at the end of the Session , when the inquiry cannot be had , these same " Extension" men of Leeds , notwithstanding their yells and execrations , propose tha same thing in the very words of the parties whose actions and motives they so recently maligned ! But , Wobking People , the shopocraey now want UNION ! They fed distress . They see certain ruin before them . Profits have failed . Trade is done up . Incomos are gone . Capital is being wasted . Savings are dwindling . One b y one aro the shopkeepers dropping into the Gazette and into tho Insolvent List . They now want UNION ! You asked them to unite with you to pi-event all this in 1817 . They insolently and perseeutingly refused ;

      , ! for Not had subdued you for ever . They deceived them selves ; and little did they imagine that their own ruin was to be the consequenoo of thoir then attcmots to enslave you ! But it is so i They are confessedly on the brink of ruin . They now want UNION to avert the horriblo consequences hang ing over their heads . What say you ? ' Shall we unite ? Not to learn to SHOOT 1 Not to malign and traduce , and vilify , and pave the way dungeonings , and hangings , and beheadings ! for these things ; but to rescue our common country from that fate we have so long foresee n and fore told 1 Shall wo " unite" for this ? Yes ! as soon a ever the Shopocraey are ready ! Notwithwithstanding their former conduct and treatment ; notwithstanding the miseries thoy have been the cause of inflicting on millions of their fellow-creatures ; notwithstanding that they , and THEY ALONE , havo stood between us and justice ; notwithstanding all these things as soon as ever the shopkeepers are ready , we will " unite" ! ~ Bvt they must be ready ! They must be up to the mark ! They must know the eause and be agreed upon the remedy . They must be pre pared to go-a-head ! No shilly-shallying . No ! squeamishness about " polities . " They must be pre pared to help to obtain the CHARTER ; to uso it when obtained , for the equitable adjustment of the debt ; for the reduction of our taxation to £ 4 , 000 , 000 per annum ; for the keeping at home the vast heaps of wealth wo yearly create , to be enjoyed by our own people , instead of being given to the foreigner ; and for the obtaining of the Land to enable our own people to grow their own food Whenever the shopkeepers aro ready , and will enter into proper terms and arrangements , we will unite : but not before ! Shopkeepers ! what say you?—Not ready?—Down with your noses to the grindstone!—You soon will be ready . '

      How Many More Victims? Holbkrry Is Alrea...

      HOW MANY MORE VICTIMS ? _Holbkrry is already dead , and Brook and Peddie , the Bradford victims , now lio in Northallerton and Beverley Gaols , pining _awayf and apparently fast sinking into the Victims' Tomb . If we do not timely bestir ourselves to effect their liberation , or an amelioration of their treatment , they may soon he beyond the reach of our sympathies and aid . If such an event should happen , could we have the oonsolation of knowing that we had discharged our duty , Let us do our duty now . _Btook ha a wife and a large family ; Peddie has a wife—a most excellent and . deserving woman . They have both been steady , and good , and worthy men . Let memorials for their liberation be immediately got up from every district , town , and village ; let them be firmly , but yet respectfully worded , and sent to the Secretary of Scate . Holberry ' s death may mako some impression , even on Government officials . At least , lot them be ' asked whether it is their purpose to make any more such sacrifices . Meantime forget not that poor Brook needs present aid , oven in his miserable home . He is allowed to have aid if he oan get it ; though Peddie is denied even that poor privilege . Mr . Isaac Wilson , weaver , Brompton , will supply any information respecting Brooks' case . He has been named as a fit person to be made Central Treasurer for Brook . We have no doubt that Mr . CharlGs Connor , of Bishop-Auckland , Mr . Bragg , _Priestgate , Darlington , and Mr . E . Burley , York , will eaoh in their respective localities receive subscriptions ; Mr . Williams will act for Sunderland . Let all collected be forwarded to Mr ' Wilson , Brompton , he can visit Brook every week , and will doubtless see that the money collected is properly applied .

      ************ Watkins' Testimonial. We Un...

      _************ WATKINS' TESTIMONIAL . We understand that a Committee lias been formed and meets every Sunday morning at So , Old Bailey , in order to raise funds from all persons disposed to present to Mr . John Watkins a suitable token of respect for his services , sacrifices , and sufferings in the cause , Tho Committee are wishful to raise the requisite means for the Testimonial previous to Mr . Watkins's departure for tho provinces , and as a _sonse of their appreciation of * his services in London particularly . Wo have been sorry to learn that Mr . Watkins has suffered recently an amount of pecuniary inconi venience greatly exceeding , we are quite sure , anything of which the Chartist public , who owe much to him , have had any conception . Reared in ihQ lap of comparative affluence , Mr . W . has been excluded the pale of what is called " society , " and cast out ev 6 n by his own parents , for his attachment to our principles . Mr . Watkins , though himself from the middls classes , has had the merit and the virtue of standing proof , amidst all temptation , against all the various " new moves'' which have led off some on whom the people had much reliance , and who , we believe , had less trial of their honesty and clearsightedness than Mr , Watkins has had . We do think that the people are in duty bound to pay respectful consideration to honest merit struggling with adversity , and to patriotism fighting the battle of liberty without fear of consequences , wherever and in whomsoever it may be exhibited .

      THE STAR AND ITS ESTIMATION BY THE PEOPLE . We still continue to receive gratifving testimonies of the confidence and esbiraation of the people . This week we have the following from Hawick : — " At a publie meeting held in the Chartist Hall , on Saturday , the 25 ; h instant , Mr . Richard _Pudie in the chair , the following ; resolution was unanimously adopted : " That this meeting , taking into consideration the efforts made to discredit the Editor and Proprietor of that palladium of the people cause the Northern Star , and recognising the untrammeled liberty which is due to the surveillance of tho public press , _dfiBire to _express emphatical admiration of the mauly integrity , unsparing faithfulness , and distinguished energy , so eminently characteristic of both ; and express unfeigned hope that they will continue the same nndeviating course till it results in final triumph . " Resolutions of a like gratifying character havo been received also from Paisley , from Tonbridge in Kent , from Cheltenham , from Haworth , from Coalbrookdale .

      - ! A Chartist, Banbury.—The " New Move"...

      - ! A Chartist , Banbury . —The " new move" men know the mailer to be a death struggle . They must either destroy the St & xorthe Star will destroy all the cobwebs by which they hope to catch the people . There is therefore no wonder at their ravings . Let them go on ; 'lis all well . The face never looks more ugly than when unmasked by themselves . James Monarch , Bishop Wearmouth . —Thanks , for his kindly expressions of confidence and esteem . We hope ever to deserve the confidence and esteem of good men . A Chabtist and a Contant Reader . — 'Tis not alone in that locality , thai ihe game of petty and malevolent detraction is going on ; reports of alike character reach us from other places . It is a game at which the players always lose . They never eventually injure any but themselves . As to tne fact of Mr . Hill ' s being or not beinq a member of the National Charier Association , the prating scoundrels must have known themselves to de lying ; because the question has been two or three times answered in the Star already . Mr Hill was a founder of the present National Charter Association ; and has been a member during the whole period of its existence . If our friend had read his last week ' s Star carefully , he would have seen that Mr , Hill is a member of the General Council .

Another mighty struggle is being made to deceive and entrap the people , another blow is apout tp _H > e aimed at our ranks , another attempt to _paralyza our efforts , to swamp our agitation , to lessen tho number of our leaders _bybribery , intimidation , aad persecution , has commenced . Mason liaa been arrested , poor Hol _^ berry has been sacrificed !!! and some of those who a short time ago were the acknowledged leaders of the people , have ceased to be members of our _Association . The ' agents of Satan are stalking _throuah the country , and sowing the seeds of treachery and deceit in every corner of our land , where for the want of a pilot , or a shepherd , eur friends are not able to mention the noble position they have assumed . Wilmslow , Northwich , _Middlowich , Nantwich , Congleton _, and _Chester , where _Associations have been formed , are almost politically dead for the want of lecturers . Sohio of them are broken np altogether , and have suffered themselves to be led by the hand to Corn Law meetings , where our opponents have always provided themselves with somo one who has gab enoueb to cause the timid and the weakminded to hold up their hands , in favour of their deceitful projects . _Koutsf . _ird , Sandbach , and many other places , where good Associations might be formed , and thus add nuihbers to our ranks , are lying dead for the want of political information . Six wotk _' _a agitation would rouse tha whole of them to a sense of their duty , and would enible them to maintain a _lecturer of their own .
