      in the cold and gloomy castle-eetl of Lancaster—at the head of this generous , this glowing assembly , we crown you , O'Brien , with joy ; for O Brien ' a press is the anchor of our hope ! John Wat&ins , Honorary Secretary to the London O'Brien Press Fund Committee . Mr . O'Bmss on rising to return thanks , met with enthusiastic applause , that for several minutes ceased only to be renewed with increased vigour . Inspiring as it was thus again to meet with his old and honest-minded friends of London , after seeing nothing but the faces of thieves during the last eighteen months , he yet felt himself eo physically weak , as to be enable , he feared , to do justice to the

      noble cause , to' whose advocacy he was devoted . But he did not come there to teach or lecture the people ; he earae to prove himself the same man now as he was before he was thrust iflto a dungeon . ( Approbation . ) The past had not subdued , nor had the future any terrors for him . He for one was for going right onward for the Charter . As an evidence of this , he need but instance the fact , that although he bad only been forty-fire days out of gaol , he had attended forty-one pu blic meetings , not one of which had proved a failure , and on the average had spoken three lionrs at each . He rejoiced exceedingly that he had found no relaxation in their efforts on the part of the Chartists , —so far from that , he found th « temper of men ' s minds

      improved since he was sent to Lancaster castle . The wildness of disorganised enthusiasm had given place to a not to be vanquished determination ; they bad , it was true , no mad talking of carrying all before them in a month , of 3 , 000 armed men in Yorkshire , who oould foon beat the raw roornits at the Tower , especially if led on by him , —( cheers ); they had none of this now , but they had what was much better , a strong phalanx of reasonable and determined men , who were determined to carry their point . They wished to blend intellectual knowledge with physical force . The Chartists Were now preparing a system of organising , a system by which the people cculd oppose force by force . ( Eteafening cheers . ) The Chartism of the present day was as far

      superior to the Chartism of 1838 , and 1839 , ss the light of the sun was superior to the light of the moon . ( Cheers . ) It was neither the moral force delusion , nor the physical force madness . ( Hear and cheers . ) Tke partisans of both were now equally repudiated . Mr . O'B . then characterised & portion of the first General Convention as haviDg , albeit arrayed under the seemingly antagonist banners of moral and physical force , combined to destroy the popular cause . He should probably hereafter make some startling disclosures connected with those parties in tLe Convention ; for the present it would suffice to affirm that he had not been victimized by the Government so much as by these men . Yes , they had all beea sold by these hypocritical villains ; others had been

      sold with their eyes shut , but he with his eyes open . ( Cheers and execration . ) He bad never spoken treason ; he had always been most particularly cautious ; and whatever his desire might have been , he had always enveloped himself in the mantle of the law ; but , because he had been so cautious , the government set their mark upon him , and said , '" That 13 a dangerous man . " ( Hear . ) As he had previously , so would he then caution the public against any premature display of physical force . If his advice had been taken the Birmingham riots would never have taken place . He also did his bost to prevent the calamities which afterwards occurred in Wales . And yet he had been branded as the most violent man in the country . ( Shame , shame . )

      He had been imprisoned for a perfectly legal speech at Manchester , and denied the use of pen , ink , and paper , and branded by Lord Normanby as the most violent man among the party . ( Shame , shame . ) It bad been alleged against hJm by a- lying press , that he had openly counselled the people to arm , but in truth he had been ever exceedingly cautious how far he committed himself upon that subject , though he would admit tha ' . he had often at night prayed the Almighty to dispose the people to the exercise of a great constitutional right . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Mr . O'B . having detailed his own sufferings in prison , proceeded to describe the horrible privations "witnessed b y him during his recent tour in the manufacturing districts—where within a few years , wages

      had been reduced to less than one half of what they formerly were . ( Tbtse statements produced a strong sensation in the meeting . ) Having described the condition of the plundered , he would next , after the mode adopted by the police , endeavour to trace tbo stolen goods to the receiver .-, previous to exposing the actual robbers . Mr . O'Brien then in that masterly and effective style for which he is celebrated , demonstrated tiiat millocrats , profitmongsrs , and fixed-irrome capitalists had received the spoil which kuavish-aristocrat-law-maker 3 had plundered from the nation . All the miseries of the people were owing to class legislation and bad government ; and- he would undertake to prove against any man , either in England or out of

      England , —1 st . That the whole of the social evils of England were the result of acts of Parliament , or the wants of acts of Parliament ; —2 ; id . That the pernicious sets of Parliament to which be ascribed the social evils were made for the purpose of enabling tke one class of eeciety to rob and enslave the other classes ; and SJ . He would undertake to bring any man from the body of the rocrn , and ? o instruct him , that he would be able to placf . his finger upon e ^ ery objectionable statute , aye , and to substitute others in their places . ( Cheers . ) Tne great remedial proposition he laid down was , that until the people obtained dominion ovor the land , and ov * r the eredit and circulating medium of the countrv , there could be no sensible amelioration of

      tk ? condition of the masses . If ever he had a seat in the House of Commons ( and there he o « cht to be now , having been legally elected for Nevrcastleupon-Tyne , he would bring in a bill to the tfxoct , that , on tbe death of every landlord , his estate should revert to the nation , and the full value of it should be distributed amoEgst the heirs—( cheers)—and upon that , as the principal , should hang many more bills which he would brin ^ fonvard . ( Cheers . ) Tiie landlords were , in one way or the oifcer , receiving £ 80 , 000 , OCO a year for property which of right belonged to the nation . He ( Mr . O'Brien ) would then propose that Government should let out the land in small allotments , so as that poor men might be able to rent small portions of it . Mr . Fcargus

      O'Connor had in the admirable series of letters recently addressed by him to the landlords of Ireland , demonstrated that ibisvras not only practicable , but that plenty of employment and of enjoyment would accrue iherefrom to the now starving millions . ( Applause . ) The rent which the state "wonld receive from the land , bo let ont in small allotments , would be at least £ 12 , 000 , 000 a year ; while under the altered system of things , £ 5 , 010 , 000 would suffice for carrying on the Govenmeiu of the c-nntry . But he ( Mr . O'Brien ) would allow £ 20 , 000 , 000 annually for the purpose of carrying on the affairs of tbe country and educating the entire nation . There would consequently be a yearly surplus of £ 100 , 000 . 000 in the hands of tho nation .

      Now , vrhat he proposed to do with that surplus would be , to pay off the national deb . This he would be enabled to do in thirty or forty years ; for he would sweep away the usury laws , and not pay over again that portion of tbe debt which had been paid over again by the exorbitant interest which had been exacted from tbe nation . But he could not conclude his speech without something political , and therefore he must impress upon the meetirjg that the people couid never accomplish the great object he proposed until they obtained tbe Charter . There were three things which the people ought to do . They ought to procure 4 , 000 , 000 signatures to a petition for the Charter before the meeting of Parliament . And they ought at the next general election to hold up

      thtrir hand * for candidates of their own principles in every town and county throughout the kingdom , and wherever there was a majority of hands for the candidates , let all tboso candidates meet and legislate for the people . Then they could , in tbe third place , refrain from working whenever and whatever length of wime suited themselves . He would juBt only make one observation more , and that was that the people in case ef necessity , could provide themselves with weapons of defence , and then if they allowed themselves to be shot , all tbe devils in hell could not save them . ( Loud and long-continued cheers . ) Upon the termination of Mr . O'Brien ' s addreso , of which from its extreme length , the above is necessarily but a mere abstract , a general call was raised for Dr . ^ 1 'Doua . U . ( who had just previously entered the meeting . ) He congratulated them upon having so numerous an assemblage , and hoped that , as the Executive , of which he was a member , had

      arrived in London , they would be enabled to remove strch canses of division as had previously existed among them . ( Approbation . ) He had that evening attended another meeting , to do honour to one who , like Mr . O'Brien , had suffered much for freedom ' s sake . That meeting had been presided over b y a member of the House of- Ccmmons —Thomas Dancombe . ( Loud cheers . ) He ( Dr . M'Douall ) felt assured , from what had there fallen rom Mr . Duncombe , that the Chartists might , from bat night forward , claim him as one of themselves . Increased plaudits . ) The worthy Doctor having urther eulogised "honest Tom Duncombe , " and innounced the Executive ' s determination not to xmntenance any party but that of the great body if the nnenfrancnlEea , resumed his seat amidst ; eneral applause , . Mr . Benbow commented upon some observations > f Mr . O'Brien ' s , bat , as it subsequently appeared ¦

Three hearty cheers were then successively given for the Northern Star , Mr . O'Brien , and the speedy restoration to their country of the patriots Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and , the customary complimentary vote having been presented to the Chairman , the meeting terminated at a late hour . :

Alderman Pnwson , as a fit and proper person to nil tbe office of Mayor for the year ensuing . Mr . Councillor Joseph Cliff seconded the nomtoation of Alderman Pawson .

      Mr . Councillor Howard had no personal objection to Mr . Pawson—be believed him t « be a highly respectable man , but he thought it was due to the state ef parties in that room that for the first time within the past six years a gentleman of polities different to those of Mr . Alderman Pawson , should be elected . Such a gentleman , one In every way qualified for the office , be had the honour to propose . He begged to nominate Mr .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Until very lately , I and mauy other persons here have been strongly opposed to tbe principles and doctrines of the Chartists . We had been misinformed as to their tendency , and had been in the habit of regarding them as a class of levellers determined to introduce strife , confusion , and anarchy into the country ; in a word we so abhorred eke Chartists that we would not even , open a Chartist paper , lest we might be polluted with the doctrines those papers preach , and the principles they disseminate .

      Some time ago , our venerated Bishop , the Right Rav . Dr . Goer , encouraged ( we have learned ) by a certain Wealthy gentleman , took it into his head to talk upon tha poiats « f the Charter ; but , in the course of bis remarks , he very candidly confessed that the demands of the Chartists were anything but what they had been represented to him , and declared that they would be of infinite benefit to the country , if obtained in a peaceable way . His admissiou converted many , who were either wavering before or opposed to the Charter ; among tha latter class I am one .

      I find that Dr . Coer was made , by a vile Ti > ry paper , ( the Godivay Advertiser J to say that he ackuowledged himself as a declared Ministerialist , that is a friend to the present Tory Administration , and that be delivered a withering denunciation against the Chartists . Nothing , Sir , can be farther from the truth than thoso two assertions . What ho said was , that the Whigs had the will but not the power to do good for the country , and that the Tories had the power , and he hoped when time was allowed them , that they would uhow that they had the will to serve Ireland . " The same foul Tory organ vilifies tho R sv . Mr . Macklin , for his attachment to the principles of tha Charter . This gentleman long ago confessed to the Cbartist agent here , Mr . B . Macdonell , that he himself ( Mr . M . ) saw nothing evil in the demands of the Chartist body , and , therefore , he is attacked because he did not join hi the hue and cry raised against them .

      I feel great pleasure in being able to announce to yen that the principles of your paper are gaining a fast hold upon the minds of all classes hare , and as a proof of my assertion , I can assure you that it is now as fashionable to call for the Star , as for any other paper in our newsrooms , although the members of those rooms consist of Whigs , Radicals , Tories , Repealers , aud anti-Repealers . The letter of Mr . Hayes , from Cork , which appeara in the ia&t Star , has brought over very many ; and the other happy declaration made thereon that ' Mr . O'Connor would henceforth make use of no personalities against Mr . O'Connell , " now ( and O , the glorious triumph ) Lord Mayor of Dublin . Ab , Sir , what a

      strengthening to the great aud glorious cause of civil liberty would be effected by a coalition between the Irish Rspealers nnd the English Caartists ; soon would we behold the happy , the long-wished for consuniKiatiaa , the downfall of monopoly , the end of class legislation ; soon would we sea the political locusts which now overspread the length and breadth of the laud , crushed , destroyed , annihilated . Yes , Sir , we would soon see the human hive purged of the diones thai revel and fatten upon the labours of the working classes—the industrious bees , by whose assiduity and toil are filled and replenished , with the honied stoves of food , wealth , and riches , all the various cdls which constitute the great hive of the human society .

      That such a coalition may speedily be accomplished , is , Sir , the ardent wish of ono who has the honour to subscribe himself A Loughrea Chartist . Loughrea , Nov . 2 nd , 1841 .

      TO THE EDIT 0 R OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Taking a deep interest in every incident calculated to promote or retard the progress of the present movement for the attainment of Universal Suffrage , it was with feelings of no common description that I rend your report of the discussion between Patrick Brawster aud Feargus O'Connor , which took place hi Paisley last week . That discussion is likely to benefit the eansa of the people . It will enable them to distinguish their friends from their foes . The result is such as every sensible and well-informed individual might have anticipated . It has proved , almost to demonstration , that though Brewster is the professed friend , he is a real enemy to the progress and prosperity of the movement

      All parties allow that it is unmanly and unbecoming to trample on a fallen foe ; but there is one feature of this Rsverend agititer ' s conduct that all appear to have passed over unnotic « d—a feature , however , deserving attention , inasmuch as it might , long ere this , have convinced the Chartists of Scotland that Brewstc-r ' a professed attachment to , and his advocacy of , the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , were insincere ; and it is to point public attention to this feature that I now write to yon . Patrick Brewster has for years advocated tho justfco , propriety , and necessity of Universal Suffrage . He has done so , he says , for the purpose of putting an end to all those unjust monopolies that have sprung from , and been upheld by , class

      legislation . But of all the various monopolies tbat have been the result of exclusive privileges , not one has been more insulting to the understandings of the people ; not one has been more irritating to their feelings ; not one more abominable in their eyes ; not one more oppressive to their persons and properties , than the practice of endowing certain claeeea of religionists , and upholding their peculiar systems at the public expense . To one of vbesa exclusively privileged parties , Patrick Brewster ? s attached . By this unjust and monopolising system , he has his wealth . This system of robbery and oppression , legalised by Act of Parliament , P . Brewster cannot break down —cannot abolish single-handed . But one thing he can do , and one thing he ought to do , to render his

      advocacy of equal rights consistent . He can throw up his situation in the church , —he can refuse to touch the unclean thing—he can cease to countenance the system of sectarian monopoly which has ground down and oppressed his fellow-citizens from time immemorialbe can practically , aa far as be is concerned , put an end to this crying grievance . This he ought to do , to render his conduct and professions consistent . While he lives by monopoly , and advocates the principles of eternal justice , every good man , every wise man , will set him down as one of those inconsistent characters " who say , and do not" His conduct will not bear to be tested by the scriptural criterion , " By their fruits shall ye know them ; " for if tried in this balance , Patrick Brewster shall be found wanting .

      If be is reaily in earnest to see mtfgovernment , corruption , and oppression banished from the land , let him set us the practical example of renouncing all connexion with them or profiting by them . This -will evince bis sincerity—his devotion to . tbe cause of truth and justice . It will raise him in the eiitim&tloa ot the people : it will increase his influence ; It will proclaim bis consistency ; promote his comfort and command the respect of his enemies . Let the preacher therefore remember , and reduce to practice the practical assertion , "that example is better than precept" Till this is done , Patrick Brewster must be looked on as the enemy of the people , and tbe practical promoter of injustice and oppression . Yours , Samoth . 8 th , Nov . ; i 841 .

      Sir , —The Chartist leadera of South Laneiahira have drawn up a plan intended for the better oTgaciziUon oi the different Chartist bodies in and around Manchester . In this plan there is a list of twenty-seven lecturers ; likewise , a list of the different towns enrolled , in the National C&arter Association , showing at one view who will lectare in any of the said towns or districts , each locality paying their lecturer's expsnees , and -wi'hnufc boasting I believe we pay them as liberal as any other place , according to their own acknowledgment . Notwithstanding this , and feeing on tbe plan to the tarr . ain , we have been disappointed three different tinms within the last six weeks , which Is a serions injury to our Association , a ? there are several vrho come upwards of three miles to hear our lectuirs . TMs is very di » tiearteniDg , and in fact several of our members have fallen off in consequence . I would likewise mraind the lecturers of their own resolutions , which aTe attached to the Cbartist plan . They are these : —

      " N . B .. It is particularly requested that each lecturer will fulfil- hia appointments puactually , or get them efficiently supplied . " Minute passed Jan . 4 th , 1841 : " Resolved , that no lecturer on this plan engage to go to any other place pa those days he ha 3 appointments on the plan , without coiisuitiug th " e parties where he is appointed : nn < l that no parties engage any lecturer without consulting the lecturer appointed on the plan . " Now it ia most likely that each lecturer agreed to the above resolutions before hiB name was entered on the

      lisfc . Then why not be punctual to the letter of his agreement ? They have no excuse whatever , as they could either send one in their place or write , us stating they couM not possibly fulfil their engagements . By this raeans we could either find auotber or announce that no meeting would take place . ' Hoping tbi 3 will have the desired effect ; and hoping als > that our leaders may set us more practical examples and less in theory , I remain , youre , &c : George Lindsay .

      A VICTIM OF TYRANNY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STA . 3 . Sir , —I beg you to state to your readers tbat Richard Broofcfl , of Leigh , Lancashire , was sentenced at Kir&r dale Sessions , to twelve months' imprisonment , in Lancaster Castle , for seditieus libel ! A libel pretended to be uttered before the . holiday in 1839 . Oh , Sir . thera is a charge of tyranny , cruelty , and vintlietiveness , on the part . of the prosecutors in this case , that must , aye shall , come before the world , I , therefore , request through your journal , that some kind friend in Laigh will furnish you or me , with the full , true , and particular account up to the time of Brooks leaving for hia trial , and I will forward the farcical but viUanoufl court part of the business . Poor Brooks has been torn from a wretched wife and family , and what we cannot do , or have neglected to do for him ,-may be done for her .

      I have forwarded to Mr . Abel Heywood , sixteen shillings , which was subscribed op her behalf by tha friends of good government in this town . Her situation I know to be deplorable ; therefore , let our mite be added to by the mites of others , aud the worst may yet be avoided . ' . ' Democrats ! Broo&s went to prison for ye—he went to the dungeon more a corpse than the man I once knew him , through his sufferings for your sakes . Do not let the last withering blow be added to the rest ; < af remember a true democrat heeds cot the malice of tha oppressor—it is the ingratitude of the old associates that kills . Brooks thinks much of his family , therefore , do let something be done for them and speedily .. George Lloyd . Liverpool , Nov . 9 tb , 1841 .

I also request that each sub-secretary when giving me bis address , will write it very plain , aad tell me also in what county he resides . This is often neglected , and causes mistakes , and for the future I expect that ail letters addressed to me will be pre-paid . Our expencea foe postage are heavy enough without an additional burthen of this Bort being heaped upon Us . AH letters for me , from this date , Saturday , Nov . 13 , must be dirtcted &a follows during \ ht time tae Executive shall be in London : —John 'C ampbell , at T . M . Wheeler's , 7 , Mill's Buildings , Kuightsbridge , London ; aud all monies for the use of the Executive must be forwarded

      to London during the Executive's sittings in the metropolis . I must make ono remark here ; there has beea a meeting in Stockport during last week , where it is stated that Campbell , the Chartist , spoke in favour of the Repeal of the Corn Laws ; now it must be distinctly understood that I am sot the Campbell mentioned , although I am a thorough Corn L % w Repealer , but then t do not want the Corn Laws repealed in the way the plague do . Hoping that the sub-secretaries will pay tbe most strict attention to the hints I have thrown out , and that every one of us will use our best exertions to forward the cause of liberty , I subscribe myself , Your Brother Democrat , John Campbell , Secretary . Salford , November the 8 th , 1841 .
