" Being an Extrael frcm a letter sent j / rivatel y by that Gentleman to a Friend in Scftland ! " As to the projected union bettpjen the middle and working classes , it is all moonshine ; or rather the i ff-prSng of an old aj reement h-eivreen certain fahe " Chartists'' and their secret // lends , the profit ' virngtrs , to which " respeciibl ? " class the faise fellows either bdoES themselves , fit aspire to belong . So far as the honest workies are concerned , it will be a union of havrts and sparrov .-s , or of wolves and lambs—the understood ierm 3 dlwhich '' union ' will be , thai the hawks and wolves shall spare a few particular sparrows and lamias ,- on condition ihat th ° sa d favoured individuals sV ..

      and afterbiddmsgood bye to Messrs . MTheraon , Storey , and the landlord of the Temperance Hotel , ( Mr . leader ) where 1 stopped during my stay in tbe town , and who made me extremely comfortable , I went to Mr . Pierce ' e to dine , and then I started for Buy SL Edmonds , when I bad a . good meeting , and fifteen members took out their cards . I have now visited Lynn , Norwich , Wisbeacb , Harleston , Ipswich , and Bury . J 3 U Edmunds ; and I am proud to state that Chartism is rapidly extending Uirough tbe agricultural distrUta , The AsEOd&tion must be established in Swaffhara , DeeT&am , Sudbury , Stowmaiket , and scores of market towns in the three cenntiea . .

      I "Wish to point ont ( more partienlaily to shoemakers , tailors , and members of other trades who are compelled to tramp from town to town for employment ) to members of our Aesociation who leave one town to go to another , " that their first inquiry should be to discover if there are any Chartists in that town ; if not , to commence making some . If any , and not organized , to at once unite them ; if organizsd , to lend his assistance to forward the cause . I have now to address a few remarks . ' . to the General Council residing in Lynn , Wisbeaeh .

      Norwich , Bury St Edmunds , and Cambridge . What I wish to point oui is tbe necessity , tbe absolute , paramount necessity of employing a talented lecturer for tbe three connties of -Norfolk , Suffolk , asd Cambridge . The Lynn , Wisbeaeh , and Norwich Chartists have promised me that they will raise their share of the expeaces . If crw , if the means could be raised to employ one fOf sis weeks ; to begin by his own exertions in breaking jnto fresh towns , tbe residue might be raised to -pay him for a quarter ef a-year . I have been informed tbat Yarmouth will contribute to so laudable a

      purpose . I hope tbat the Council will take theBe points into their most serious consideration , as I am perfectly satisfied the Government have the greatest dread of the agricultural counties being instructed in tbe principles -of Chartism . In conclusion allow me to state that I cannot again , on any consideration , make another tour . The corres pondence of the Association cannot be carried on until I return to London .. I shonld not have been away from it at this time , but that 1 had long promised to visit thtse three counties , in consequence of representing them in the Convention .

      On Wednesday I Btaxted for Cambridge ; tbe secretary , Mr . Taylor , was at tbe Coach Office waiting for me . We bad a splendid and enthusiastic meeting at night . Mr . Cooper was in the chair . Eleven persons took cst cards of membership . I forgot to mention that I fell into company-with Sir . Sewell , one of the London lecturers—fee knew me—I did not know him ; however we were both , soon engaged in conversation A gentlesian sitting beside Mr . BcWell , said , " Why you two are perfectly acquainted already—why how is that ? * We told him we were Chartists . He asked th ' e measi : g of Chartism . I explained it He said he was a Chartist I at once enrolled him . He lives in Newmarket , bat dare not publish his juame . However 1 have his name down .

      -I nest visited Royston , in Hertfordshire , where there was no Association , and Mr . Wood , Mr . M'Donald , and other friends , said the wisest way to go to work would be to explain tbe principles first , and see how tiey -svonid be received . I acted on their advice , and after I had explained each point of the Charter separately , I took 3 shew ef hands ; and when I had gone through tbe whole £ ix , I told "them they were all Chartists . At the conclusion I issued upwards of twenty cards of membership . I arrived in London on Friday —commenced writing-. I have been yerj busily emplayed ever since . Ls 3 t night ( Monday ) I attended a meeting of 15 . 000 persons , on Stepney Green . All parties will have their cards of membership by Monday ntxt I remain , Tour brother democrat , John Campbell .

      . P . S . —Every place I visit , I recommend the Star , Stalesma . 11 , and Circular . I send copies of this letter to the Siar , Slaiesuian , and Trumjid of Wales . Notice , all letters for me to be addressed to the care of Mr . Jobn C'eave , Bookseller , 1 , Shoe Lane , London , to whom all monies for the Executive mast be made payable , and I wish it to be most particularly understood , that any letter for me in future , unless pre-paid , I wili not release , as the postage is sufficiently heavy otherwise . Cares can now bs had through the London bookseller's parcels to the remotest part of the country with little , if any , expenw for postage .

      T-iiE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION . We hope that , npon this subject , we have mads the people sufficiently to understand that the National Charter Association is 072 c entire body ; not an association of different and distinct local bodies ; that no meetings of any separate part or section of the Association , nor any meetings of the members of the Association resident in any particular place , as such , can be ( . legally ) holden ; but that they may still bear in mind , that in becoming members of the National Charter Association , they lose not one of their previously holden rights , as citizens and Chartists . They have a right to meet in their individual

      capacity as Chartists ; to interchange thtir opinions and sentiments upon any subject of discussion ; and if a difference of opinion ari ? e , to iake means for ascertaining how many of them adhere to the one or to the other > ide . They can , therefore , thus talk over among 5 '' each other , at their weekly meetings ' aoy subject of public discussion in which they may feel interested , and express , ly resolution or otherwise , their opinion thereupon ; and thi 3 local expression of opinion being carefully watched by the several officers of the National Charter Association , iviil be made to serve as a guide for their movements in re f erence to the matters afft-cted by it .

      Every toTm and village in . the Kingdom may legally have a distinct Chartist Society of its own ; there may legally be two , or ten , or any given number , of such societies in any town . Any person may legally belong , at the same time , to as many of these different societies as he may choose . Each of these different societies may have its own council , and s person may be a member of as many different councils as he may chc-cse ; and be may speak and vote in all the meetings of all the different societies and cormcils of which he is a member . AH these different societies and councils may be governed bv

      the same rules ; but they must hold no official cor respondence with each other , either by letter or delegation . Any man who is a member of two or more of these societies may state to one society , of which be i 3 a member the transactions of another society ; hut he must mind to do' so in his owncavacitffi individually , as a member of that particular society , and kot as a belegatz from the other society . Every member of all these different local associations may be also a member of the National Charter Association ; but it does not therefora follow that tbe local associations are branches

      of the National Association . A man may legally be a member of the Methodist Society , and at the same time a member of a Mechanics' Institute ; all the members cf a Mechanics' Institate might ba also members of a Methodist Society ; but it would not therefore follow , that tbe Mechanics' Institute was a trai _ cn of tbe Meihodist Society , or had any connection or correspond en ce with it . Just bo the

      information communicated by a member to one local society , of the resolutions or plans of operation of ar . y other local society of which he may be a member , i = no evidence of correspondence between the two societies j not even if like resolutions or plans of operation should be adopted in consequenee of the information ihiis given ; provided only that the said information be communicated individua ! 3 y » on bis own account and responsibility , and

      NOT IN THE CAPACITY OF A DELEGATE . This position may be thus illustrated . A man may be at the same time a member of two different money clnbs , one meeting at the Fox and Goose Inn , and the other at the Hare and Hounds Inn . The Fox and Goose money dub may have determined to advance no premiums to members without the security of two sureties in addition to that of the principal ; the same subject , of advancing premiums to members , may be afterwards discussed at the Hare and Hounds money club ; a disposition may

      be there manifested to advance on the security of the principal alone ; and this man may get up and inform the club that in the Fox and Goose Crab , of which he is a member , it is thought requisite to require two bondsmen j and because of this information the Hare and Hounds Clatr may determine that they too will require two bondsmen ; and yot , it is quite clear that all this wonld cot pro ? e any connection or correspondence between the two clubs or societies as such . From all this it will , we trust , appear sufficiently eyident that the bodies of Chartists [ associated to-

      Untitled Article

      gether : and meeting with each other in the different localises , do bo without any direct reference to tbe National Charter Association . They meet as distinct local bodies , having no necessary reference to or connection with each other . The fact of their all adopting the same plan of government , of their all adopting like means for the extension of Chartist principles , and of their members severally and separately belonging also to the National Charter Association , is merely incidental . '

      These local Associations acting separately and by themselves give tone and expression to the public mind , and the officers of the National Charter Association , through whom all Its operations are conducted , . having thus the opportunity of being acquainted with the public mind , proceed to act on it . .. .-. - '¦"¦¦' " .. '¦ ¦ . '•¦ : To make this plain , we will Buppose Ihe nomination of members for the next General Council to be now taking place . The Chartists of Bradford meet in their nsual place of resort , on Monday evening ; among other subjects of discussion , the relative merits

      of nine men who have started as candidates for the General Council , and out of whom seven are to be elected , comes upon the carpet ; the people express their opinion upon the matter by vote ; they have a right to do . so ; it is a matter for public opinion ; and though this expression of public opinion forms no part of the actual operations of tha National Charter Association , the sub-Secretary , whose duty it is to nominate the Councillors , will , of course , nominate to other persons than those whom public opinion has thus marked ont for him .

      Should he dare to act otherwise , he would , in our opinion , prove hims

      Every distinct local association should have its own books , especially a book of general entry , in which are entered the names , trades , and residences of all parlies making profession of Chartist prinoiples . Every local secretary who has hot a book of this description should instantly provide himself with one , ruled in columns for the name , trade , residence , and date of entry . It would also be well to have columns to specify such as may be municipal or Parliamentary voters . This is the local register . I : contains no test or declaration of faith or principles ; but it is known and understood that eyery

      man who authorises the insertion of his , name in this book professes himself a ChaTtist , and he becomes thereby an enrolled Chartist of that locality . In this capacity he meets with his fellow Chartists of the neighbourhood , and agrees to or dissents from the several resolutions or matters of public discussion which come before them . But all this has nothing to do with the National Charter Association ; of which he beoomes a member by taking out his card from any Sub-Secretary or other person authorized to enrol members . Generally the Secretary of every local association should

      be also a Sub-Secretary of the National Charter Association . It is then his duty to exhort ever j person professing Chartism in his locality to take out a card of membership in ths National Charter Association . For this purpose he either keeps a separate book for tho enrollment of members of the National Charter Association , or which is perhaps better , he ticks off by some marks known to himself , the name of every one on his ChartiEt roll , to whom a card has been issued . It

      is his duty , at all times when required by the General Secretary , which should be every week , to send these names—of the parties to whom cards have been issued—for insertion in the books of the General Secretary , which ought at all times to exhibit a list of all the names of all the members of the National Charter Association , open to the inspection of all the membera . Any neglect of this duty by the General Secretary would make himself and every other prominent member of the Association amenable to the law .

      Now we hope that , after this , we shall have less trouble with watching and rewriting the numberless Chartist reports thai come to us . Let every such report begin— " The Chartists of snch a place met and did bo and so " ; not " The members of the National Charter Association , " or the " National Charter Association" did so and so . Let all resolutions and addresses commence , not " We , the members of the National Charter Association , in public meeting , < Slc , but" we the Chartists" of such or such a place ; so in describing meeting rooms , never talk of " the National Charter Association room" of such a place always " the Chartist Room . " So again , in speaking of Councils , never say " the General Council " of such a place , did so and so ; always " the Council , " or " the Councillors . "

      The various Chartist secretaries and sub-secretaries can have no idea of the amount of trouble they hava hitherto given us in reference to these little things ; notwithstanding that we have before , more than once , called their attention to it . Some of our own paid correspondents are equally careless . We hope that this final notice of the matter will save us the trouble hereafter , and save the rascally factions the opportunity which would otherwise be given them of gleaning evidence against us from our own document ? .

      We hope never to see the people slavishly fearful of the law or its myrmidons ; but there is much difference between betDg slavishly fearful , and needlessly fool-hardy . There is no need to run our heads wilfully against a post . Bad and villanous as the law is , let us at least comply with it as far as we can do so , with a little extra care . We shall next week begin a general commentary upon the rules and co&stitution of tbe National Charier Association , and the means by which they may be safely and effectually carried out , and our glorious cause pushed en to triumph . - — * fi * ffrrfi ^ fnrr j j-i ^^^ B ^^^^^^ m - n ¦ « - - ~ — — . «* - -. ¦ mi ^

      THE "DEBATE" ON DUNCOMBE'S MOTION . When the Tories are out of office , they , like the Whigs , can loudly inveigh against the acts of persecution and prosecution perpetrated during the sway of the antagonist faction . This , interwoven with strong protestations of their zeal for tho common weal , constitutes their stock-in-trade on their accession to power . But no sooner do they get firmly seated on the saddle of power than they show the cloven footj riding rough-shod over all who oppose their misrule , or expose their nefarious

      designs . The two factions evince a like deadly hatred to all who will not succumb to their vil lanies , and laud their atrocities to the skies . They dread publicity being given to their de 3 dB and would fain hunt every man out of exi 8 tence who has the honesty and courage to draw aside the veil , and exhibit their delinquencies to the public gazg . They know well that the peoople . cannot now be hood-winked ; that they will not be diverted from their onward course , in pursuit of a complete or radical change of the

      Governmental system , by an ; faction-hatched humbug however tinselled , or by whomsoever propounded . No ; the tyrants know that the' workies * are now on the right scent , and Trill eo continue until the game is ran down . Hence arises the hostility of the whole host of corruption to the Chartist cause . Against it all their artillery ^ js directed , But , thank God , we lire to see that cause rendered invulnerable to every attack , whether coming direct from the seat of Government , or ; from their hired subordinates .

      Chartism is now all-powerful ! Like the rolling snow-ball it is incessantly increasing in magnitude ; while faction is in its dying agony , and ajusi soon be numbered amongBt the things of olden times : a

But any kind of irrelevant nonsense serves to rivet the sages to their seats when their purposes are to be subserved , either in coercing the people , sneering at their prayers , or squandering their hard earnings on the idlers , in the shape of pensions , grants , or emoluments .

      Maiialieu , appears to us , from the circumstances detailed , to bo a reptile who would not feel the least compunction to swear away the lives of one half of the country to serve the purposes of his employers . But such wretches are eyerseleoted by ty . raots-to do their dirty work . Honest men would much rather beg their bread from door to door than submit to become the paid tools of an overbearing

      oligarchy . ; well knowing that when they thus engage themselves , they forfeit their character and the esteem / of every good man . Mallalieu is indeed fit for no society save that in which his forerunner , Beam an , moves ; and we guess should he ever commingle with any portion of the ^ . community , other than the sneaking tribe with which he is properly connected , he will receive such a lecture as will deter him from repeating his . intrusion ! . '" . "

      We last week told our brethreri to keep wide awaker and eye well all strangers ere they accost them as friends , or allow them to enter their councils . We again repeat the caution ; Watchfulness is more requisite now than at any former stage of our movement . As wo approach the haven of our hopes , our vigilance must be increased ; otherwise our anticipations may be out off even on the very threshold of fruition . Chartists in various localities have very wisely refused to countenance any lecturer ueless ho bo furnished with satisfactory credentials .: ' this ib as it ought to bo : but there possibly may be other dangerous characters prowling through th e land , who may not ascend Ihe platform , yet they may perfect their share of a traitor ' s work 1 Beware !

      We are happy to announce that the harpies have signally failed in . establishing any serious charge against M'Douall or others for the part they took at the meeting in the Broadway . Not even the shade of a shadow of evidence could be adduced on which to hang a charge of sodition , riot , or illegal assembling , and all the vaporing about such matters in the tax-trap , were only wild dreams floating in the phrenzied brain of our crest-fallen legislators .

      Their tools , no doubt , were instructed to make out a case , subjecting the persons of some on « or more of the leading Chartists to "durance vile , " but though the "blue bottles" might be full to the very neck with zsal to do their maBtera will , yet the materiel was wanting , and the Chartists have grown too wise to furnish it ; Thus the affair dwindled into a paltry charge of obstructing the highway , and oven this Was unsupported by evidejoe .

      Had double the number assembled on the same ground to witness an exhibition of Punch and Judy , the polics would have made themselves scarce , and the performance would have concluded without interruption . Had some canting field-preacher occupied the ground for the purpose of vemiting forth a tirade of abuse against the " Infidel Chartists , ? and

      corrupting the Word of God by promulgating passive obedience and non-resistance to tyranny , then the " forcp" would have practically obeyed the latter portion of his creed . Anything to stultify the public mind must be encouraged ; but this was a Chartist meeting , and , of course , the spy , the bludgeon-man , and licensed disturber of the peace , must be at his post , to do that which he is ostensibly commissioned to suppress .

      All these doings of the confederated band , Whigs and Tories ! demonstrate their fear of our gigantic strength . ! They know we are in the ascendant , in fact the only powerful body m the state . They dread us ; in our Btrength they see their own weakness ; in our success they perceive their own overthrow . We are working peacefully and effectively , and shall assuredly come off more than conquerors , it we be wise , vigilant , and watchful .

      We know that our organization is such that every assembly of oUr body will be characterized by peace and order , if not interfered with by the myrmidons of despotism ; but as the wolves are among the flock , as tho blood-hounds are abroad , as the jackals arc in quest of prey for the enraged lioDB , we corijaro our brethren to be on the look out , and fail not to give the alarm . Wo cannot now spare another man , and therefore let not the beasts of prey have another Frost , another Williams , another Jones , another Clayton , another Holberky . For the blood of the Chartists they pant , but let disappointment overtake them .

      JOHN FROST . In the House of Commons , on Friday , August the 29 ; h , Mr . Sharman Crawford stated that he had been requested to ask the Noble Lord , the Secretary for the Colonies , whether the rumour which had been circulated with respect to the convict Frost was true , to the effect that he was compelled to work in chains in a penal colony . Lord Stanley answered , that there was no such circumstance stated in the last official report from the Colony , and that he did not believe there was any truth in the rumour .

      The London papers do not notice this . We happen to know that the report is but top true . A letter has been received by the family of Mr . Fsosi confirming it .

THE NATIONAL CONFERENCES ^' We perceive from the reply of the Executive to the Leicestershire Delegates , that they persist in the call for a "National Conference" at Manchester on the 16 th of August . We were in hope that the Executive would condescend to give the Country a little more information touching the necessity for these conferences . Such , however . does not appear to be their intention . We know not what the country mean to do about it , for very few places have spoken out about it . However the timeia at hand , and we , therefore , make no apology , for repeating the following direction s from last Week' 6 ' £ ? ar , iri order that if the people do call these conferences , it may be done rightly and legally , giving no handle for the

      enemy to lay hold of . The 16 th of August draws near ; and the people , if they mean to have a / ' ^ National *' Conference , should begin to prepare .

      Brief Rules fob . tub Government of all whs . write for this Paper : — 1 . Write legibly . Make as few erasures and interlineations as poi > 8 ibie . In ^ writing names of . persons and places be , more particular .. tban usual to make entry tester distinct and cl « ar—also in using words not EDgHsh . 2 . Write , only on one side of the paper . 3 . Employ no abbreviations whatever , but write out every word in full . 4 . Address all communications intended for publics tion to the ' ¦ " Editor "; all other communicationssuch as orders , remittances of money , id . —to tke Publisher , " Mr . J . Hobson ; all remittancea of money to any of the public funds for which books

      are kept here , to Mr . ArdiiL Much unnecessary trouble often arises to us from a want of precision in attending to these things . Never mix up these ditfereut matters in the same sheet . Always prefer to send au enclosure , or even a separate letter . Much confuaion of ten becursj and many articles of cew 8 get overlooked , because of theit being vrritten on the same sheet as contains the order of an Agent , which goes into the Publishing Office , and Is liable ,,-in the hurry of the business , to be forgotten instead of being sent up to the Editor . So again orders have been sometimes neglected , because of their being written on the back of news paragraphs , which being sent to the Editor

      have been by hint ' put in feandi" without remembering to transcribe the order . All these accidents will be prevented , if persons who Bend here will Bebd their communications severally to the right quarter , and not " muddle" them together . 6 . When you sit down to write , don't be in a harryj Consider that hurried writing makes alow printing 6 . Remember that we go to press on Thursday j that one aide of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are obliged to go on filling up the paper the Whole week , and that , therefore , when a load of matter comes by the last one or two posts ^ it unavoidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it is therefore necessary to be prompt in your communi-• ¦ - Cations . ' ¦ ¦ . ' - ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ - ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ - . .- ; -. ¦' .. ¦ .

      All matters of news , reports of meetings , ic ., &o referring to occurrences on / Friday , Saturday , or Sunday , should reach us by Monday ' s post ; such as refer to Monday ' s occurrences by Tuesday evening ' s post ; Wednesday ' s occurrences by Thursday's post ; and Thursday ' s news by Friday morning ' s po 3 t , for second edition . Aay deviation from this order pf supply will necessarily subject the matters so received to the almost certainty of rejection or serisus curtailment , and we takenoblameforit AU personal correspondence , poetry , literary ' communications , and articles of comment to be here by Tuesday , or their chance of insertion for that week will be very small indeed ; if not here by Wedneadky we don't hold ourselves bound even to

      nohecthem . ; ' : : 7 . Finally , remember that we have only forty-eight columns weekly for all England , ; Scotland , Wales , and Ireland ; that we have nb inteiest in preferring one town or place to another , be ^ causa ours is not a local but a . national paper ; that we are bound , therefore , in dealing with the masses of matter whibk come to us , to hold the scales of Justice eyenly--our first object being the promotion and enhancement , according'to our own best judgment , ef the success of the great and good cause ; and our second , the distribution of our time and space so as to . ' -give'feast cause of complaint ; that we are alike bound to this course of aciion hj inclination , interest , and duty . '• ' and that ,

      therefore , it is useless and senseless for individuals to fume and fret , and think themselves ill used because their communications may not always be inserted , or for societies to trouble their heads and waste their time , ia passing votes of censure upon us for devoting too niuch space to this , or too little to that , or for inserting this thing which they think should have been omUfced , or for omitting the other thing which they think should have appeared . All these are matters for our consideratioiU and for the exercise of our discretion and judgment , which , we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , without feat or favour to any one , and without being allowed to be turned for one instant from its
