      LOVE OF COUNTRY . NOTHING can possibly prove an Individual ' s Patriotism more than the efforts he is making in behalf of his afflicted countrymen . The strength and bulwark of any nation lies in the happy frames otMier . Sotis andDiughterS . "A bold Peasantry , our Country ' s pride , " onct reduced lo effemin - ioy , slanda poor chance of successfully competing with the enoroaohiBents of foreign interfeftne ?> , or of domestic tyranny . Iu the pale and lanqnid invalid , there is seldom the spirit to maintain an independent position when assailed by the insidious or threatening attacks of the Oppressor , but ho seeks rather to conciliate , or even concede a point , than to resist the intiiction of a wrong ; thus havins ; once allowed the iron to enter , like a wedge , by slow degrees , it was dr ven home , and the tottering fabric of liberty comes to the ground . Tho revolutions and full otEmf ires prove this to be correct , and the history o . f progressive independence , froth the commencemenVof time , furnishes us with the faot , that those mighty deeds of imperishable iamo , which grace itfj pages , have been achieved only by the healthy aud vigorous ; the mind partaking ot the naturo of the body , glowing with rational enthusiasm , has asserted its right , and the strong arm of daring achieved ihe victory . In Politics , every one seems to be well acquainted with the various / evils that afflict society , andyet , but few are found sufficiently enlightened or b »! d enough to prescribe a remedy . It is just so with the diseases incident to the human fiame ; all can talk of and lament their existence , and jet few iadeed can be found to point out the mean ? , sufficiently within the reach of all men , for obrainiaj ; their removal . The extensive use of Parr ' s Life Pills has , however , dispelled the mist of ignorauce » arid tens of thousands who have been cured oi the riiosl inveterate maladies arc now gratefully employed in recommending their more general ado . ptkm ; If every iamily in the kingdorn would keep a supply of this incomparable Mudioine by them , premature old sge would never happen , and seldom iadeod should wo behold in civr streets the , pale and haggard lock , the confunipiive cheek , or tottering debility ; we should rise a ? a pwplo ana . iinprove as a nation .

      THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is a gentle stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions . of ¦ ¦ life , aiid is exclusively directed to the euro of siich complaints as arise from a disorganization of tho Generative System , whether constitutional Or acquired , Ios 3 of sexual power , and debility arising from SyphiUtc dis ase ; and is calculatefl . to afford : decided relief to those who , by early indulgence in solitary habits , have weakened the powers of-their system , and fallen into a statni of chronic debifity , by which the constitution is loft in a deplorable state , and that ncrvo ua mentality kept up which p ! aoes the individual in a state of anxiety-for tho remainder of lifo . r fhecohscqnpnces aripihg from-this dangerous practice are not confined to its pure physical : ' result ' ,. but branch to moral ones ; leading thft excited deviating mind into a fertile field of Keducive f-rroT- — into a graduail but total degradation of manhood—into a pernicious application of those inherent lights which nature wisely instituted for tho preservation of her spfcies ; bringing on preraatj ' . re-decripitude , and all the habitudes of old age : —such a one cafries with him tho form and aspect bfoth . er men , but without the . vigour and energy of that season wh-ch his ; early youth bade him hope to attafn . How many men cease to be men , or at least ,. ' "' cease to tnjpy manhood at thirty ? How many at eighteen receiva the impression of the seeds of Syphilitic-disc « se '" it- - seif . 1 the consequences o * which travel out of tha ordinary track of bo illy ailment , covering the frama with disgusting evidence of its ruthles 3 nature ,, and impregnating the wholesome stream of life with mortal : poison ; conveying into families the seeds of disunion and unhappiness ^ undermining domestic harmony ; and striking at the very soul of hamaa intercourse . The fearfully abused powers of the human &enerative System require the most cautious preservation ; and the debility and disease resulting from early indiscretion demand , for the cure of those dreadful evils , that such medicine should be employed that is most ceitain to be successful . It is for these ca ^ es Messrs . Perry and Co ., particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM which is intended to relievo those persons , who , by an immor derate indulgence of their' passions , havo ruined their conatiiutioii 3 , or in their way to the consummation of that depForabfo state , aro nff-iotod with any of those : previ : > u 5 symptoms thav betrpy ; its approach , as tho various affections of the neivous system , ' ob . 3 tinA . to gleets , excesses , irregularity , obsiructions of certain evacnations , weakness , total impotency ,. barrenness , &c ..

Mowbray , and / carried unanimously : — «« That while we have the greatest confidence in the political integrity of the Editor of the Northern Star—that while we can bear testimony to the honest and consistent manner in which he has advocated the : rights of the industrious classes , yet we deeply regret and deplore the dispute which has recently taken place between the Editor of that paper and Robert Kemp Philp , which it appears has originated in

      the over-sensitiveness of the latter in the first instance , and been continued by the retaliation of / the former ; and we nave reason to believe that if a more cbncilLttory spirit had been evinced by . . each i it would have reflected greater credit upon the people ' s cause . We cordially concur in the recommendation of the Executive that Chartists should be slow to condemn men whose Jives haye been devoted to the people ' s cause j and we take thia opportunity of expressing our confidence in Robert Kemp Philp until sufficient evidence can be adduced to convince us that such confidence is misplaced .

Hill , in reference to resolutions coming from other quarters is most puerile and unjust , and cannot be too much condemned . "

      LONDON . —LiMEHOUSE . —At the weekly meeting of the LiiBtthoustj locality on Monday last , Mr . Frtzsr , in rising to propose a vote if confidence in Mr . Hill , Editor of the Northern Star , « aid he was glad the crisis ( which he bad some months ago predicted ) , had arrived , when it weuld be of importance to act with decision , in reference to the unfortunate misunderstandings that at ' present , existed between that gentleman and some of the prominent members of the bady , more especially the Executive Committee ; that intriguing treacherous politicians and disappointed men ¦ would feel annoyed by him , or any other man who would discharge his duty fearlessly was as natural as that the thief should fear each bush ah officer , but that thu Executive whose conduct upon the whole , had

      gained them unfading laurels , should feel so thinskinned upon a mere queatior of technical legality touching addresses , was to him inexplicable ; he was sorry to Bay that he / eared those who were accastonjcd to look on their proceedings with a jaundiced eye , would say it afforded evidence that they were murd tenacious of thbir own legal acquirements than the general safety of the movement they wore appointed to direct ; he regretted this , as he would have wished them to have lefc a better impression upon the public on their retirement , though he was in hopes he would see a majority of them renew their lease of tffiee . It would appear from the condnet pursued to thu Star and its E litor by some men , that they would like an " organ " very well , but then it must bu ft bah-i orgiv .-i , and the

      player a mere automaton—every tune must be in praise of themselves , not even an extemporaneous variation must be introduced ; now he would like the musician to compose his own airs , and alter the suljact as circumstances might require . He said he never read a piece of music more congenial to his taste than the whole of his article of Saturday , June tho 11 th . He would admit that the Editor had faults ; one of them he thought the most prominent was the extreme caution and stuilitd courtesy he pursued towards the " Lions" of tbe movement , which he believed was the sole cause of the presenfc bickerings , they having pref-unieil upon bis forbeamnctj . . He might ^ ay himself , as fax as he was personally concerned ^ he bad teen treated more courteously by theSfar than by any other journal

      with whick he had the honour to correspond ; but was that any reason that he should endeavour to deprive the Chartist cause of an honest , talented , arid unflinching advocate ? The conduct of Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , who had the coutagB to bbard one of . the angry Lions , cannot be too much admired by bis brbtber Chartists ; for notwithstanding his fierce and ungovernable ravings when allowed to roain at large , yet when attacked by the arms of reason alone he seemsto be quite a harmless animal . He thought if the people would follow tho example of Mr . Cooper and express their decided opinion upon mature deliberation , it would Bhow public men that they were only to-be judged by their outward bearing , and would eventually be the cuuso of introducing a better state of things , , H < 5 thought tha

      strongest proof of the honesty and efficacy cf that unflinching journal , its Editor and Proprietor , was the extreme hatred entertained towards it , and them , by the opponents of the amelioration of the condition of the working classes , which alone was a sufficient cause for the Chartists reposing renewed confidence in it ; and then , after a lon / j speech in which he revieweii the conduct of some of the discontents , he concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That the members of the Limebousc locality , believing the conduct of public mon in their public capacity to be fair ground for public critcism , aro of opinion that Mr . Hill , in his capacity of editor of the Northem Star ( the accredited agent cf the National Charter Association ) had done no more than his duty in delivering his opinion upon their actions , at the same time leaving the columns cf his journal open to

      to any explanation or contradiction they in ayhave t » effer . They at the same time cannot dismiss this sutject without expressing their unfeigned admiration of the general conduct of the Executive , and their deep sense ; of the extensive benefits conferred oh . the causa by the txertions of Mr . Hill : " The motion having been seconded , Mr . Gilroy moved as aa amiiUiiment , which was aecontiBd fey Mr . Squires" . That Mr . Philp ' s name be excluded from that part of the vote relative to the Executive ; and that Mr Cooper , of Leicester , recoive a vote of thanks for his courageous conduct with reference to the affair with O Brieu , " which was carried by a considerable majority . Thanks having been voted to -the Chairman ( Mr . Tuynton ) , the meeting broke up with tha greatest harmony , proving that the .- ' small fry" can reciprocate opinions without abusing each uther .

      Chabtist Boot and Shokmakers . —Mr . Ilhngworth lectured here on Sunday evening , at the Star Cyffoe House . Golden-lane ; after which the meeting resolved unanimously , " That we have the greatest confidence in the Editor of tho Northern Star , whom we respect for his fitraightforwurd aiid nmuly conduct ; and our confidence in him shall continue as lona : as ha continues to advocate the rights of the working classes fearlessly and boldly as lie has hitherto done . " Hit or Miss . Globe Fields—At a full meeting

      of the numbers of this lucauty , the following resolution was resolved unanimously , " That we , the members of this locality do p ace the most implicit , ci : nu > ience in the Rev . Wm .

      London Halters , Brown Bear , Southwark Bridge Road . —At tho w-. ouly mce-tni ; of the above locality , after the local bu = ine *< had been settled , lite following resolution was carried unanimously : — " That we consider th p remarks made by the Euuor of the Star , on the Bath movement , w . trp ueriectly justified and called for by tho circumstances of the case .

Sir—We , the Chartists of Hey wood , after due consideration of all the circumstances connected with the various " new moves , '' are of opinion that yoa have acted in a mariner calculated to advance real Chartism , and retard the progress of real humbug , for which we return you our best thanks ; also we pledge ouisslvea to support the Proprietor and Editor of the Northern Star , bo ; long as they act in the straight forward manner in which they have hitherto done . James Milne , sub-Secretary . Heywood , June 12 , 1841 .

      TO THE REV . MR . HILL . SIR , —It is with considerable pain that we , the undersigned , see the necessity of ana werihg your call to the ; people , whether it . is in accordance witii the wish of the people that there ahculd be so much bluster about dictation and denunciation in the Star . We think it the duty of the people to come forward and support the ' ¦ . Star and its Editor in tho present juncture , and tell their enemies ( we can't call them . friends ) that they will not allow their citadel to be undermined . Sir , it is painful to see such men aa O Brien and Philp sojealou 3 of their own importance as to consider themselves above suspicion , and not suffer their names to be mentioned by a public writer , except in praise and commendation , without considering them-Belves *? denounced , " and using virulent language in what they call their " vindication . "

      We have . read the Stars of March and April last , over and over again , and we can see nothing to call forth the unmanly attack made upon you by these gentlemen . We consider snch conduct suspicious , anJ we say they are doing more to injure their influence in the Chartist ranks than you could fdo in seven years were they honest . We have carefully read your comments in the Slur of the 4 th inat ., and we say you are fully justified in those remarks in ennsequance of Mr . Philp ' s letter , and his attack in the J ^ indicator . Sir , it is with pain and deep regret wo see the Executive this week go so far out of their way to , the length of six pargraphs in censuring you , we thought some of the Executive would have learned different from the opinion given by the whole of the meeting in Carpenter ' s Hall on Sunday night , the 5 th inst ., when they brought forward their palt y resolutii-n . This shoves a disrespect to public opinion ' -, and is much m ire deserving of censure than anything they have charged upon you .

      We are sorry these gentlemen are so sensitive , because a document of theirs was acknowledged to be altered by you ; it made them " criminally ignorant of their duty , " and " lowered them iu the estimation of tho people , " forsooth ! Taey have laboured hard to strain at a gnat , and swallow a camel . We think you deserve credit for your careful perusal of every document you send to press , and yeur good intention to keep . our society out of the fangs of the law . The Executive are but working men like ourselves . " great bulwark of the nation , " consequently , cannot be sufficiently versed in the various Acts of Parliament

      touching political societies . If you , Sir , were not s-ufiicientiy cautious , vhat would be the constqiience ? The Star would be like the ilavcheslei Herald of former days ; the publisher of which had twenty-one indictments against him at one Assizss , in 1821 . Tee eonseque : ; ce was the failure of the paper . And does any one think the present Government ( a chip of the old block ) would not pounce on the Star , in the same manner , and crush it at once , if they had the least chance ? All they want is a pretext to do so , and it requires great caution and care on your part ; the more so as there are many others who xronld willingly crush the paper , as well as the . Government .

      Sir , continue m your straightforward and manly course , arid yon will soon vanquish all your narrowminded and selfish foes . Yim have the strength of the nation at your back , and who can withstand them ? Iu justice to you and the cause we have at heart , we tb . ua step forward to declare our full approval of your upright conduct , and our determination to support you and the Star , : :.

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —In reference to the angry feeling manifested towards you by Messrs . O Brien , Philp , Vincent , and others , we have come to the following resolution : — Resolved , — " That the thanks of this meeting ate due , and are hereby : « iven to the Editor of the Northern Star , for his untlinching auvocacy of the people ' s cause , and likewise for his mild yet manly criticisms on the actions of several individuals belonging to the Chartist cauBe , and that we promise him our support arid confidence bo long as be continues in the straight-forward course he has hitherto pursued .
