      THE O'CONNOR DEMONSTRATION COMMITTEE TO THE FORKING CLASSES OF THE EMPIRE . Fellow Workmen , —The will of God has prevailed orer the will of man , and oar tyrants wbo were deaf to our appeals for the liberation of out friend and champion , have beencom-T ^ fled at length to yield to necessity what they reftised to justice . On Monday next , the afltb of August ,

      O'CONNOR VTILL BE PREEI Afcdj brothers , our present object is to make his freedom a welcome offering , by presenting for his acceptance the increased affection of those for whom he has straggled . It is now more than two years since O'Connor was first tried at York by a special jnry . for what is called libel ; it is nearly a year and a half since be was again tried at York for what is called publication of libel ; and on both occasions we

      had an opportunity of hearing and judging for ourselves , as well of his p rinci p les as of his courage to support them . And , fellow workmen , we unhesitatingly declare that his manly 6 tand agaiast oppression , his utter disregard of self , his firm adherence to oar principles , and his advocacy of our rights , taught us to \ oo& . upon Chartism as the one only xhing ¦ fforth living for or worth dying for . For near ly sixteen -months he Q 3 S been a p r isoner

      ¦ sriitia view of our every thoroughfare ; aua our hearts have suck when often- times leaving the cell , the smoky ceil , which contained the droopiuff and fast decaying body bnt ever joyous spirit of oar friend . ^ ps , we have Biaie it a part of our duty to visit him , and cerer has he allowed us for one moment to 8 e ? pond or to devote an hour towards effecting iis liberation . For many months past ir required no great medical art to convince

      cosmos sense that O Connor s coauceruent vras undermining his constitution : however , the practiuoners did not discover the fac . until last week , when a certificate was forwarded io the Home Secretary , stating thai longer confinement would endanger the l :: e of the prisoner : and therefore an order was immediately sen : for his reles ^ e , and m confonuitv with that order he will be once more

      restored to us on Monday next . \\ e . ice Caanists of York , have left nothing undone toisake his reception what it ought to b ? , but in consequence of the happy event b ? ing hastened by seme weeks , we are compelled to subsiiuxe a meat supper , or Soiree , for the fincer , -nhich is the only change made in our former arrangements , which we submit as fellows : —

      honour Lim with their presence , in a large room prepared for the purpose , and where the delegates may transact tneir business . At six o ' clock there wil ) be a tea supper : price of tickets , ] s . 6 d . After supper Mr . O'Connor and tbe delegates will address the company . Brothers , w-e have thus briefl y stated the arrangements made \ or again receiving the

      man to whose principle and person tbe working classes of this country are most devotedly attached : and in thus submitting our intention , we feel bound to say that upon that occasion York must not be considered as all England ; that the demonstration will be a national , not a local display ; and although taking place in York , where circumstances do not permit the existence of so numerons a bodv of Chartists as

      are to be fonnd in other towns , yet relying upon the cordial co-operation of our friends throughout the empire , we have incurred an expence which each town in the kingdom will consider itself in honour bound to share . Nay , we are coufident that a feeling of jealousy woaid be the consequence of our not affording tie poorest village an opportunity of bearing its convenient proportion of this , in our opinion , not ' ' USELESS DISPLAY . ' '

      The committee beg to assure you that they nave been unceasing in their exertions , both in gist and day since tbe announcement of the glad tidings , ' and that nothing shall be left Undone upon their part to make their visitors from a distance as comfortable as possible . They have made arrangements with the proprietor of the Grand Stand , for furnishing those who shall not feel inclined to remain for

      ^ Pper , with a good lunch of bread and < &eese and ale for Sixpence each . The committee , in conclusion have to request that finery town approving of these arrangements , ' vnU transmit its mite in aid of them at once to our Secretary , -whose name and address appears hereunto annexed . It is most urgently requested that all delegates will bring , from their respective towns , ^ many fiags as they can muster .

      TO THE MARQUIS OF . NORMAXBY , HER 'MAJESTY'S SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT . Mr Lord , —Yoar order for my release from the illegal custody in which I have been detained for nearly sixteen months , reached here on Sunday last , when its contents were immediately communicated tome . My Lord , while you easnot expect my thanks for this act , c .-riaiulv very promptly yielded to necessity , but to loug denied tc justice , yet there is a something eonsolot&ry to me and graceful in your LordsLip , in the accompaniment to your erder ior rav liberation .

      My Lord , I was designated as a most dangerous person ; arid so far had the rule of expediency prevailed under a siiding-scale Administration , tkiv it was all but openly avowed in the House of Commons by officers and members of the Government , tna-i if we , the Chartists , were not legally , we were "nevertheless conveniently removed from ihe excited public . However , my Lv .-J , you have , in my opinion , and very p : operly , cen-StiKG the-jadgm-. nl of lh 4 Court of Q . ictn " s B ^ uch ov cirpe-asing with a compliance vri ' . h that

      portion of me sentence , which imposed upon me the necessity of finding suieiies for my ^ oo-i behaviour for vero jears . To me , cay Lord , this was the only triumph in the victory oi right over might , or rather of necessity over wiii . I am not oi ; e of those persons who say more upon makers personal to myself in newspapers than 1 can avoid ; btr , I co fed i ; due to my ; elf , my cause , and my party , to state briefly the circumstances which led toyoux Lordships' order for my release . I shall not note travel over any oi the long past , but shall confine myself to circumstances which occurred within the last week .

      On Meacay , the & : h Au . -jusr , I was unexpected ;)* honoured w ;* . h a visit from iir . Djecombe , M . P . for Finsbuiy . I was not able to riso '" rom the chair to receive him . I took that , the earliest opportunity which hid occurred , of tha .-j . kin ? Lira for his very great and persevering z ^ al on behalf of the long-imprisoned and bratuaily-treated poor Chartist ? . Ie tbe coarso of conversation , the subjec : cf my own state of health was introduced ; and Air . Duncombe assured me that if I petitioned once more he would back if by a representation of what hchaise&r .. He said he thought I was on the Debtors' side .

      However , I refused either to apply to authority , cr psihion ihs House of Cueikoes , sayict ; that I would rather remr . in in for any term , than owe my liberation to mercy upon the part of the Crown , or a persona ! application to your Lordrhip ; and that 1 wcoJ-d not allow any friend to app ^ y oa my behalf . Mr . Duncoinbe appeared to have a very high opinion cf your . Lcrdihip ' s eense of justice , and ytur desiie io do right ; bat . I had n > notion of putting either to ihe test . Oa the following Wednesday , August 11 , Mr . Higue , chairman of the visiting magistrates , wailed upon me in company wiih the Governor , and

      said , " Mr . O'Connor , 1 was aery to Jcarn from u . e Governor that you have been very poorly for foh := lima . " I replied , " That I thought he should have htardit first and long since from the medical attendant ? ; that I had not stood upright for & . ' orinig ' ii ; ind that the effects of my treatment wore jim what Dr . Thompson had anticipated , and staged in his affidavit . " I told him that I would make no application to the Magistrates , to the House of Commons , to the Home Oiace , or to the meuical ^ entlt me * i ; that a-jythiEg that was done should be done through the usual channel , without anv appeal upon my part ;

      that a felon sentenced to transportation had been liberated from York Castle , in consequence of ill heahh , very recently ; that Mr . Medhurst had a'so been liberated ; but that 1 would not try the experiment . Mr . Ha # ue told me that he thought it bad become his duty to require a certificate of my state of health from the principal medical attendant ; and accordingly Mr . Champney , who very ably filU that department , visited me , and again I refused to ask him to make any certiScate , observing thai I felt assured that

      what ever justice demanded he would do . "Upon leaving me , Mr . Champney wrote the certificate , upon which , together with the recommendation of every visiting magistrate in York , my release was granted . I did not see the certificate or the letter of the magistrates till Saturday , the 14 th , the day upon which they reached the Home Office . Such , my ¦ Lord , are the simple facts connected with my release ; and my motives for publishing them is to bold myself guiltless in the eyes of the working people from any the slightest charge of having asked for mercy .

      My Lord , as you are aware I never wrote one line to the Home Office since my incarceration , I have sot allowed a single friend to interfere since the 1 st of Juae , 184 . 0 , when the allegations in my petition were so unblushing !}* contradicted by Air . Fox Maole . I never petitioned for any greater boon than that prayed for in my petition of June , 1840 , to be removed to another less cold prison , and in my subsequent petition of the same month , asking for the production of the evidence taken before Mr . Inspector Crawford .

      This is as much as I feel myself called upon to state , for thepresent ; while I considermyselfboundin justice to myself and in vindication of my own honour , which has been violently insulted , to assure your Lordship that I am not a person to bear insult tamely , however I may bear oppression nobly . I must and will have Mr . Crawford's reporc ; for rest assured that I Talue liberty at the expence of honour as a very dear purchase , and one which I am not , nor I trust ever shall be , prepared to make .

      My Lord , as I am not in the least desirou 3 to lessen the Talae of a good act , or to pervert facts , I am wUling to place your order for dispensing with securities for my good conduct to your-credit , thus to a disposition not to interpose any unnecessary delay in the way of my immediate liberation , which might arise from the difficulty of one so stampcd by law with distinctlyeiiess , fiudisg volunteer Euretie ' s in a strange plaee . I hare lha honour io remain , My Lord , Your obedient servant , ¦ F-EABGl'S Q * C 0 . V > 0 R . Ccidusned Cel ! , TcrkCistie , Attius ; i 5 i , lfcli .

Mr . P . M . Brophy , the secretary , read the minutes of the lust meeting , after which , thirty new membors were enrolled , aud several notices for the admission of others wero given . The chairman , in a luminous speech , opened the business of the meeting by answering the charges made by Mr . O'Conneil

      against the Charter , and by detailing Mr . O'Counell ' s abandonment cf every principle which he had formerly advocated . He said it was in therecoUociion ot ' every p . rson present , that Mr . O'Connell advocated the total aoolition of tithes in name and in nature , until not a trace would remain behind , and yet when Mr . Crawford brought forward his motion for the total abolition of tithes , Mr . O'Connell voted with every Tory in tho House against Mr . Crawford's motion , and with the mast soul-stirring speeches , urged the people of Ireland not to \ ay tithes , and said that he would rather rot in jail than pay them himself . But when poor Reiily caught the fire thus infused into his soul , and conceived that he would not bo entitled to the namo of

      irishman should he allow Mr . G Conntll to be the first martyr , he was incarcerated for non-payment of tithc 9 . He died in jail , and when Mr . O'Connell found that the last breath had left him—that poor Rsiily no longor lived to reproach him with his treachery—lie meanly sneaked down to tho courts , aud was the Erst man in Ireland to pay tithe ? , after raying so much in opposition to them , and after so much blood had been shed by following his advice ; and that during the administration of Earl Grey , Mr . O'Connell , in his letters to Lord Duncannou , recommended Attorney General Blackburn , and other Tory lawyers , to bo promoted to the beach , where they could do no mischief ; but tho moment Mr . O'Connell found that ho would share in tho

      patronage of the bench , and that he could gtt situations for his own rehuious and followers , fion ; that of common policeman , to the clerk in the Hanaper Office , ha raised tho cry " keep out the Tories . " W % s ever delusion like this practised on a credulous and confiding peoplo ? Mr . Wood concluded amidst great cheering . Mr . Henry Cfark said that , as a Roman Catholic , he felt proud ot being connected with the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . Mr . O'Connell accused the m of having Orangemen among&t ih ? m ; ho hoped that there were many of them members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , in which there was no delusion , and which would prove that we were more successful in conciliating them than Mr .

      O'Connell had been in his five years attempting to delude them into his ever-paying associations , lie hoped that those petsona whom Mr . Mr . O'Connul had endeavoured to stigmatise , would rather pity the man than condemn him ; for in his ( Mr . Clarke ' s J opinion , it betrayed a groat weakness in Mr . O'Connell to pass such unmerited striciureson a working mail , as ho had done on Mr . Brophy , -who ho va , * sorry to > ay , was suffering on account of the unvv ^ rrantablo attack of Mr . 0 'Coune ]) . ( Gro ^ t sen - sation , aud cries of " shame . ' ) Here several persons bore testimony to tho good'moral conduit of Mr . Brophy , some of whom had known him for more than twelve years , and who always found him advocating the rights of the productive classes . Others bore

      testimony to his being an . unflinching supporter oi the temperance reformation , and who knew him to have aided and assisted in the formation of four of these societies in Dublin . Mr . Brophy thanked the members for the testimony they gave of his charac ter , and said , _ although labouring under exceedingly jtreat dinir-ultics , from the attacks of Mr . O'Connell , ho pledged himself that nothing Bhort of sickness or death should ever cause him to relinquish tho course ho was engaged in , and said that Mr . O'Connoll's refusal to hear him attheCorn Exchange , had made him reaolvo to stay in Ireland , and agitate for the Charter and nothing less , until it becomes the law of the land . Mr . OHiggins said , that although the Dublin newspapers had been so extremely kind to him as to

      publish his answer to the unfounded charges which Mr . O'Connell brought against him , yet tho publication of his refutation of the charges in the papers would not be sufficient ; because he knew and was prepared to prove that'Mx . O'ConueU'sfriendB , the very nun who had swindled him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) out of a sum of £ 750 , aud other friends of O'Connell ' s , who by-the-bye are now his companions , but out of whoso houses he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had been under the disagreeable necessity of taking his stolen property , and whom he would have prosecuted as receivers of stolen goods had it not been for the influence of his respected friend , the late Rev . Patrick Walsh . Well , those persons , the &windlers aud their friends , and the receivers oi

      the stolen goods and their friends ., are now , and have been for some years past , the chosen friends of the great Liberator , and have been for years past circulating the vilest falsehoods against ' him ( Mr . O'H . ) vvhich human ingenuity or the devil himself could invent . What a-strangt state of society it is when those men who forfeited every right to remain in the country if justice were done to them , employ themselves continuously in vilifying and traducing tho very man whom they have plundered ; but , dare they , would they veuturo to do so , were it not for the infamous impunity which Mr . O'Connell holds out to them 1 Who are those men 1 What are they i Where did they come from I They herded in sties while those

      whom they traduce went to school . Mr . O Conneli said that heprocured the expulsion of him ( Mr . O'H . ) from the society of Irish volunteers in January , 1833 , for conduct unbecoming a patriot , a gentleman , or a Christian . Now he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had no recollection of having ever been guilty e'f conduct eo unchristian as to , assert such unblushing falsehoods as these . He now challenged Mr . O'Counell to state publicly any charge of any nature or kind whatsoever that was brought against him in the Volunteer Association , or in any other association . He hurled defiance at him . He charged him

      as one of the most base , bloody , and brutal calumniators that ever breathed . lie accused him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) of not being a gentleman , or of conduct not becoming a gentleman , why did he do no ? for tho purpose of securing his cowardly followers from the personal consequences of the lies and slandcra which he encouraged them to circulate againat him C-Vlr , O'tLiggins ) . He agaiu calkd upon him to state publicly and in detail all the charges he could make out against him ; but ht solemnly warned him against celling any more lies . Let him tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth . Mr . O'H . apologised fox
