      THE GOVERNMENT VICTIMS . An additional demonstration against that vile species of Government tyranny , -which has . within the last few month * , filled the prisons of England with virtuous and skilful English artisans , for seeking , in pnblic meeting , to make known their grievances , and to discus the most legitimate means of procuring a redress of them , together with the means of bread for their " starring wives and families , " took plaea on Thursday night , in the shape of & public meeting , at $ he Hall of Science , High-street , WhitechapeL The jobject of the meeting wm to express the pnblic de-~ testa ^ on of a Government that couM thus act , and to -mark u ' lat detestation the more strongly by entering into a guC" ' 8 sription in aid of the " victims ' ' to so despotic and av * ^ * a policy . On the motion of Mr . Drake .

      Mr . Mantz wJ *« called to the chair . Hs Baid he regrettad the Ch&t ^ t * "were not doir g th-ir duty to themselves , other wist ) tke Hall in which the meet in ? ot ? t which he had the honour te preside , was held , wonld , at that late hour , i ^ Te been crowded to inconvenience . They had met oh . t ° present occasion , not merely as matter of form noi merely to breathe the feelings of indignation against a u jTsrmDent tliat conld act so tyrannically aa the present ™ acting- ; bnt upon a question which concerned thv ^ m * & > involving aa it did the proposition , whether & nian was to " think freely , " or whether tyranny was . *«¦ say , in this enlightened land , " Thus far shall thoa 8 ° and no farther . " The Government that wonld dai \ ' attempt to restrict a people from the free expression ot th-ir grievances , and who wonld say to them they must think only aa they ( the Government ) thonsht , was the greatest of all tyrannies—ihe&x , bear )—bnt all woa . id

      not do ; the mind of man would still be free . —( h « u and lond cheers . ) Man was , by his Creator , endowed with the power to think , and to express his thoughts ; and it was not for tyrant man to dare to stop him in the exerciea and expression of the mind thus given—( hear , hear . ) The enemies of the people ' s rights might Bay , that they ithe people ) lived in " a free country . " and might do this er that But in this they reminded him of the " French" press , which said , " yon siay print this or that ; but you must not say anything against the Ministry . " or State "— daughter . ) And eo with the present tyrannical Governmeat of England—( hear , hear . ) The people might say < . < t think what they plf&sed j bnt as Boon as they said anything against them , they ' ithe Ministry ) , would seizi upon , drag , and cast , them into prison—( hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Mantz ) , might illustrate this base intolerance , bj a quotation ; of which it reminded him , from the poet ,

      namely;" A subject ' s faults , a subject may proclaim , A monarch ' s errors are forbiddenjgame . " ( Cheera ) The people , undismayed fey such proceedings , should fuiluw tht adrice of their tried and valued friend , O'Connor , should not shrink from danger , but lite him , be prepared to "brave the battle and the breeze , " and , as becomes Englishmen , determine to be free—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . They bad a duty to perform to the excellent and patriotic men who are now incarcerated , for no other crime than that of peaceably and constitutionally meeting to demand a redress « f their grievances—( hear , hear , and ' shame . " ) He was sure they wonld do that —( hear;—he was sure thty would not be content with the present state of things—( hear , hear ) . Why should they not mu = ; er in

      thtir moral strength , and act like mea who were determined to bring tyranny down to the dust ?—( Hear , hear , and cheers ) . They were too losg the dupes of those men—( hear)—they had too long allowed themselves to be oppressed by them —( hear , hear ) . — They should , he repeated , show themselves determined , and make their tyrants kno * that they were Englishmen—( hear , hear , and loud cbetrs ) . The tyratts knew * erj well , in incarcerating their leaders , that they were insulting the people at large ; but had the people the right Butt of spirit in themselves , those leaders would never have been seised ; and it was because they ( the people ) were apathetic and had neglected to perform their duty , that the Government had proceeded in the tyrannical course they were punning —( hear , hear ) . He regretted he did

      no ? see that r >* H crowded with men who had hearts to feel for , and pockets at the service af the Government Tictims "—( hear ) . Those victims , bad they been corrupt , might have revelled in the lap of luxury , and in the smiles of the base aristocrats who oppress them ; but no , tfcey were men of nobler feelings —( cfceeis ; . He lamented the apathy of the people towards those highminded and noble-hearted men , whose virtuous sympathies had led them to offer themselves up as victims , " in their ( the people '*) cause ; but he hoped they would , ere too late , show themselves worthy of the suffericrs of those men—ihear , bear ) . After some further ^ remarks , Mr . Mintz apologised for having detained the meeting for so long a time , and corcluced , amidst loud cheers , by calling on Mr . Brown ( a talented operative ) , to acre the first resolution .

      Mr . Brown , who is a decided favourite with his brother worVmen , wsa greeted , on presenting himself , with marked plaudits , and after a few preliminary ob-Berv ationi , proceeded to read the resolution to the following effect : — " That this meeting views with feelings of indignation the conduct cf the faction which now sways the Government of these realms , which has , in opposition to rgbt , law , and justice , invaded the liberty of conscience , seized upon honest and unoffending individuals , and immurtd them in dungeons f « r no other crime than thst ef promulgating the truth and advocating the rights of tnsir enslaved and oppressed brethren . "

      He deeply sympathised , he said , with tee victims to whom that lesomtion referred , and he called npon tbs meeting to consider well the solemn obligation which rested on them them , in pledging themselves to it , to carry it out in all its spirit and meaning—( hear , hear . ! They should weigh Well the solemnity of pledging themselves to a resolution , and when pledged to it , Tinging should prevail npon or actuate them not to carry it ont—( hear . ) For his own part , he duly pledged himself , on the present most solemn occasion , to the resolution wiich be had jest read , and nothing could induce hisa to be unmindful or nsglectfol of tbe obligation into which be had entered—' . hear , heat . ) He was not discouraged whtn he saw small m % etin ^ s on the subject which had then brought them

      together ; for , as " after a storm comes a calm , " so after " great ' meetings , they might expecs " nna ' . l ones on Ae s ^ me su ject ; and of great meetings te rejoiced to ay they had had masy in favour of tbe victims in whose behalf he was at that moment appealing j bear , hear . ) In that respect he would most particularly , and in a marked manner , congratulate the meeting on the splendid gemonstrat'on and bnmper th&y had witnessed on the previous night , in a btoefi ' - in favour of the Tict ims , at the Pavilion Theatre ( cheers . ) The friends of liberty and of injared worth had come from the most distant parts of tbe metropolis to that bentfis , not . let it be said , for amusement , ( for tie working classes , ground down as they are , have neither heart , inclination , nor means to go Ion ? distances at the present time

      for amusinent ' s sake alcnei bat , to their great credit and honour , for the Eake of alleviating , by their sympathy and contributions , the sufferings of the victims , with whose cause they identify themselves , and with whos-6 wrongs they sytnjiathisa—htar , hear . ' And , be it remarked , that all their meetings woald be crowded , but that the working classes are so poor that they cannot afford even a penny en every night — 'hear , hear . ) They saw the victim to tbe cause in -which they were embarked , pining in his gloorcy , unhealthy , ai < d solitary dungeon ; end they , like men and Christians , pressed forward with their mite to aFsis ! him . —i ( applause . ) Who , lo < .

Brown ) had frequently acted in furtherance _ of the glorious cause—that good and viituffus-niiiids-d ¦ manthat man who would get out of his bed at any hour of

      the night to benefit a fellow-creature —( tear , hear)— I that good man was , alas ! at that moment doomed to ! one-acd-twenty-years' transportation for his attachment j to Ma country—( lond cries of " shame" rung through | all parts of the reverberating HalL ) And his wife !

      tyranny , were gettmuned to pursue tbe Charter , and never to rest until they obtain it—ihear , and cheers . )' Yes , they are determined on this , regardless Gf the { threats of a few selfish and mercenary Lords , who threaten them with imprisonment , transportation , •' and even death , for looking for their rights—iHe ^ r ' : and cheers . ) They despised those kzy , good fori nothing drones—( hear , hear—those letches , who suck I and fatten on the life-blood of tha people —( hear , her . r . j " The taletted speaker concluded by assuring the meeting ' and through it the country , of bis fidelity to the Cbar-1 tist cause , and that while he knew the -value of being I on the " right tide , " in other wor ^ s , the outside c * j the strong wj » 113 of a prison , yet that the inside of i . i

      had no terrors for him in connection with the pursuit of such a cause ^—( cheers )—a cause in which he invoked them to apply themselves with energy to breaking up the stubborn ground , and sowtog the " goodseeds of Chartism , " by which be promised them a gloriouB harvest , and the gathering up of the fruits— ( loud and long continued cheera ) Mr . Abel Cooke felt great pleasure In seconding the resolution , because it referred to those kindred spirits who were suffering in the glotions struggle of " might against right . " The association of kindred spirits was one of the greatest and most desirable things that could be for the attainment of the great object which the people had in view . Associating together , they

      were strong ; but divided , they were weak . ( Hear , tear . ) It was awful in a country like England , that men for standing up against -such a system of tyranny should ba seized upen as the victims to whom the resolution referred were , and deprived of their rights and liberties —( bear , bear ) . He ( Mr . Abel Cooke ) felt as if he could " at one fell swoop , " level the tyrants who thus basely , nDjustly , and wantonly oppressed his fellow conntrymen—( Cheers ) . Mr . Cooke then allnded , in a felicitous manner , to the great aid and impulse which the Charter must derive from " the women of England , " coming out , as they were , in its favour , and coBcluded amid the plaudits of the meeting , by seconding the resolution .

      Mr . D-ivenptfrt , a veteran Reformer , moved the second resolution , to the following effect : — " That this meeting deeply sympathise and console witb those brave and virtuous patriots , who , in defiance of the tyranny of despots , have nobly stood forward as the champions of the rights and liberties of millions , to obtain for the mass of the population of this conntry a protection for labour , a voice in the State , and a fair division of political power ; and pledges itself to use lt v s best exertions by way of subscriptions and collections , and all other means in its power , to defray the expe / ices of those victims who are awaiting their trials , and to support the wives and families of those who are now patiently enduring in their brethrea ' s behalf , in ' carceration , anrt all the sufferings which inhumanity has inflicted , and still threatens to inflict with her merciless and iron hand , and thus save them from seeking the tender mercies of the Commissioners of the Poor Law Bistiles . "

      In moving that resolution , it would be reperfluons indeed , in him , he ( Mr . Davenport ) observed , to address any lengthened remarks to the meeting . He strongly advocited a union between the middle and working classes , as the most likely means by which they could- hope to achieve the great and gSorious measure of "The People ' s Charter . " He regretted that the meeting was not more crowded , and would impress on the Chartists , that if even two million ! - out of the " three mi ll ions" of them who had signed' the Charter , would but give one penny each person towards " tbe Victim Fund , " the sum which would-be thus real : » 3 d would be ample for the support of the victims—( hear . ) Why , then , he woald ask , are they , ( and on an occasion calling upon them for their sympathies and assistance ) , so . ipathetie and remiss in the discharge of a duty so much within tbe command ot even the poorest of them—( hear . ) He would not longer detain them , but would propose the resolutionrcheers . )

      - Mr . Lucas , of St Pancras , seconded the resolution , aad availed himself of the opportunity thus afforded him of calling on tbe meeting , and through it , on the public at large , to give their most Btienuoas support to their faithful and invaluable advocate the Evening Star newspaper —( cheers ) . They had been hithert * without a journal of purely Democratic principles to support their cause , and advocate their rights —( hear , bear . ) And bow that they had got one in the Evening Starnow that a gentleman had embarked his capital in their interest , he ( Mr . Lucas ) wjjs sorry to say , they were not by any means supporting the paper he had started for them—ihear , hear ) . The TorieB had got their papers , with the Times at the head ef them , in their interest ; the Whigs had got their papers ; and even the sham

      Radicals had got their papers ; but the Chartists—the working men—were without any paper—( shame ) . And why , then , he would repeat , when one was started fcr their support , did they not prove themselves worthy of the favour , by giving it their most realous and efficient support?— ( hear , hear . ) The working classes , to ttaeit shame be it spoken , hud no Press— ( hear . ) The 7 had made fortu : es for thos 9 whose papers were opposed to them , even for Q-overoment newspaper proprietors , and jet they would not support one in their own behalf—ihear . ) The Government blushed nut to moke use of " machinery" to crush " the people ; " but the people will not , tven when it offers , make use ( by

      supporting ) r . f a paper which comes out to protect them against the G jvernment—tbsar , hear , i If , for instance , ihty were to give but a " ciub" support , and that twenty four of them were to subscribe but one penny prr week , they would have the paper every day— 'hear bear . ) He would , in conclusion , say , that it becomes ; he duty of the working classes to force the paper into ail their places of resort—( hear , hear )—that they onght not to rest until they would run it up to a circulation that would pay ; and that if they should not , in a word , support the Evening Star , they would deserve to bo for ever fallen—( hear , hear , and cheers . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously , after which thanks were voted to the chairman , and the meeting sen&rated .

      THE VICTIM ELLIS . We were just sitting down to call attention to this all-important matter , when Wednesday Evening ' s Star arrived ; in which we find it so well done that we Kive the entire article , in preference to any thing we could ourselves say : — To those persons who have followed the course of Chartist politics , the name of Ellis is familiar ; and they will require no further appeal to their sympathies , than the announcement that prompt exertion upon their part may yet save him from the horrors of transportation , save his wife from the sorrow of

      separation , and save his little children from the cold bastile , and tender mercies of an overseer . To trose who do not know Mr . Ellis , it will he only necessary to appeal to their professed love of justice , and simply to lay his case before them , which is as follows : —Counsel for Mr . Tllis raised an objection on his trial , which , however , was over-ruled by the Judge , pretty much upon the eame technical ground that the point raised by the present Attorney General , in Frost's case , wa 3 oFer-ruled by the same Judge . The Jndge , however , pointed out to the counsel the m ^ de by which his object could

      be effected , which is this ;—The point made by Counsel was , " Tha . t wlieveas the Act of Parliament bearing upon Ellis ' s ca ~ e makes it penal to demolish , or to begin to demolish , any buildiDg , and require 3 proof of such demolition or commencement , and the indictment charged him with the off nee as complete , while Ellis was not proved to have bsen at the place , when the attick teas commenced , and also that the building teas not demo-Hiked . " The reader will gee tbe thing , then , plainly . That an Act of Parliament declares certain things , if done in violation of thafr Act , to be

      punishable with transportation ; and Counsel for Mr . Ellis argues that the things sworn to be done by Ellis were not complete , or so complete within the meaning of the Act as to warrant his conviction , under it . There ia a legal and a moral way , how- ever , of disposing of eoiijecture . The legal way is by appeal to a higher tribunal than that before which the case has been tried . The moral way is , — " Oh no matter whether the Act of Parliament critically embraced his case , damn him , he deserved it . " The latter mode of argument may satisfy the village coterie , or a section of anti-monopolists , but it will

      not satisfy the public , nor would it , we are convinced , satisfy Chief Justice Tisdal . the Judge who presided . In arguiDg this point , then , we are not to be understood aa approving the crime oi arson , or bo much of it as does not come within the statute above referred to , nor yet any part ol it . We are to be understood as dealing with the act and the crime as Judges invariably do , which , ij thus : — " // the Act isfaul ' y or bad , repeal or amem it ; out so long as it is law , abide ly it , and as I is a penal lair , construe it mUdlv , and give the pri

      soner the advantage of its every defect . " Such is the language of a Judge when he regrets the obligation ; under which a faulty Act plaGes him . Ev « n i magistrates not unfrcquently say to c . ilprits , I ; admit yours is a hard case , and that the Act of j Parliament is veiy severe , bnt there it is , and wl at , can I do ? The only course now open to Mr . Ellis is this : —He can present a petition to the StCRETARY of State for the Home Department , setting forth the objection , and prajing that it may be argued before the fifteen Judges . We have no i reason whatever to suppose that Sir James Graham

      Untitled Article

      will refuse to comply with Ellis ' s request * and for this reason : —It would be rery inhuman , very indecent , and very improper , to send a poor creature out of his country , leaving npon bis mind , and upon the public mind , an impression that an ? single loophole of justice , or even of legal escape , was closed against him . Again , there would be no reasonable grounds for refusal , and all precedent is in favour of tbe practice Especially in oases of forgery it has been done over and over again . In Frost ' s case it has been done ; but to cite cases in point would be

      endless , therefore we shall presume that the Chief Secretary ' s decision will follow precedent . This is the first day of Term , and we are in the knowledge of the fact , that the necessary steps have been already taken to make the necessary appeal on behalf of the man whose opposition to the village tyrant , and support of Chartist principles , has called down upon him the vengeance of the law . But what of this ? Tbe foundation is bnt an unimportant part of the work , if not built npon ; and where are the means to prosecute it ? This then , is our appeal , for the means to be collected and

      forthwith forwarded to onr office , to prosecute the good work . Counsel ' s fees in such cases , are heavy , and the ablest must be employed ' The transports are being prepared . The gin palaces and beer shops are foil . The cry of injustice and shame is long and load ; but the injustice and the shame belong to those who see the ohasee , and mil not aid in turning it to- account . Lot it be borne in mind that by perseverance the Doronester labourers were restored to their home 3 ; the Glasgow cotton spinnera were saved from

      transportation ; and Frost , Williams , and Jones from death ; and thst the same active individual who was mainly instrumental in producing those results ^ and , in consequence , has become- an object of unmitigated and warelentisg persecution ' , is now engaged in forwarding this appeal upon > behalf of poor Ellis . Let ua ^ at all evwits , have the refusal , and gratify ourselves with this glorious reffisotion that we- did our part ,, and we were ready to save our friend . Much majbedone ia London at variance with what the local mind approves . As an instance , we give the following aote received ^ thia

      morning p— THE QUEBJf V : WHPTB . " Mr . Justice Creaswell haB made an order ta-dfcy on each indictment , to admit White in bail , bimaelf in £ 200 , and rbnr sureties in £ 50 each j he would not reduce it below this . " The above- ia from Mr . 0 Connob ? s soVioitor ;¦ and by it , it will bB found that the Judges have reduced the Justice ' s bail to exactly one-fifth of the amount required by those worthies , and for want of wbioh poor Gsobgb Whits , as honest a man as breathes , has been incarcerated for nearly two * months ; and

      for which , with God ' s blessing , the Brummagem scamps shall answer before the justice . We rejoice to congratulate Mr . Fellows and his brave followers upon their recent triumph over the rascally League , and their Bright importation from Reohdale . The impudence of these scoundrels , in their endeavours to seduce the Chartists from their allegiance to principle- in the hope of advancing thtir plundering viewa , is beyond all bearing , and can only be equalled by the soand thrashing in store for them , whenever and wherever they pre same to obtrude their particularly awkward and disgusting persons .

      We shall look anxiously for a response to our appeal on behalf of Ellis , his wife and children ; for the foundation must remain in statu quo , until the means are supplied for prosecuting the good work . Every minute is an hour , and not- a MINBTE SHOULD BE LOST . Bear in mind that the worldly prospects of a whole family are involved in this experiment .

      THE STURGE CONFERENCE AGAIN . The Stirge men are most persevering fellows ; as the satellites of / action always are . They are determined to have their " talk" on the 27 th of Deo . and to call it a * ' Conference . " We are happy , however , to peTceive that the intimations of the people that they were not to be humbugged , have forced them to be at least a little less impudent in their obtrusion of their real purposes on observation . The mode of electing this " National" Conference announoed in their laBt circular upon the subject has been discovered during the recent flat-catcb ) Dg expeditions of their great men to be " a little too bad" ; and hence they don ' t hazard an adherence to it . There is never anyihing

      ' of the bold manliness of honesty about baffled 1 faction ; and , therefore , we are not surprised to note the absence of it in the circular now issued from "the Complete Suffrage Council . " Honest and good men , genuine democrats in heart , may make I mistakes as well as other men ; their judgments are not infallible ; they may be led into a false position ; i but , when they find that they are thus circumstanced , they never hesitate , openly and candidly , to acknowledge it , admit their error , and give 1 credit to those by whom they have boon enlightened . ' There is always in honesty a frankness of disposi-; tion which repudiates a false position , when seen , i as cheerfully and heartily as it maintains a true ! one . Bafil d roguery can seldom imitate this beautiful and amiab ' e virtue . If foiled in an attempt \ to blind the eyes of parties , it will give up a position ! wl'ich it sees no means of holding , but it never ' admits that , it has been wron £ ; on the contrary , it ! invariably keeps its eyes steadfastly upon the bafilsd point , diverges from it no further than it is compelled , and looks out ibr some circuit when by , if I an end , it may come back to it , and , if a means , it , may either do so or substitute it by some other means which may Eubserve the same end . Now this is 1 just thi conduct of the Sturge Council upon this occa .-ion . W ; iat thsy now say upon the mode of

      eleciion we 3 rs certainly a much greater air of fair- 1 ness than their former proposition , and it is tanta- J mount—if honestly meant and acted on—to an i entire repudiation of that proposition ; but it is not | a repudiation . It st'll leaves the former plan , open to be acted on if parties choose , although a different course is recommended , at least apparently , i The circular now says : — ¦ " The meetings to elect delegates mns , t be of a strictly ; legal character . Wb erever it ia pr . ittic . ible and usual , \ let a requisition be sent to the local authorities , re-1 questbig them to convene tbe meetings . If thia cannot be done , ifat the Complete Stiflrjge Union ot each district convene its own meeting . In both cases the tneelinps must be public to all the inhabitants in the ( own or district .

      " It is highly desirable that all the delegates Ehould be elected in this way . Tbe Council have concluded not to encourage the appointment of delegates by nomination lists , ' except in cases where the authoi rities absolutely prohibit or disperse the meetings . In | sttch cases tbe nomination sheets mast be forwarded , together witb ft statement of all the circumstances , to i the Council , at least ten days bc-foie the meeting of the ! Conference , " The Council have reason to rejoice in being able to announce , that they have nctjtt Uoatd of any instances

      j in which there mil be any difficulty in appointing , at } the same meeting , delegates to represent both electors I and non-electore . This course tbe Conncil earnestly recommend , as it will display a united energy that will ' augur well for our future success . " | We have no faith in the honesty of these men , i and , therefore , cannot trust them a single inch . j Our reader 3 will observe , however , that the people j have it now in their own power to make this Con-¦ ference what it ought to be—a truly national one . i In every C 3 se the meetings are to be public and I open to all the inhabitants ; without this the

      Conference would have been illegal , aad every member of it liable to heavy punishments . Let the pe ople then see that all these meetings be well attended ; that honest and fair-dealing chairmen be appointed ; and that delegates of the right sort be returned . By " delegates of the right sort , " we mean not blustering , ranting , mouthers—but men of sense , firmness , " discrimination , and cautionmen , who whether they can " make a speech" or not , can judge of the merits of a speech , and are not to be either persuaded or outwitted from a stern ad , *

      herenoe to the interests and weal of their constituents . Let them be men who well understand the character and the position of the middle classes . Let them , above all , be men who thoroughly know the "free trade" question and all its sophistries ; and who are prepared to maintain the interests and rights of labour as * first matter of national legisla . tion , and not to barter them for any class crotchet . We warn them that the object of thia conference is to hand over the Complete Suffrage and Chartist movements to tho free traders ; to "bid" for the assistance of the " extension" men by promising that the first efforts of our newborn liberties shall be devoted to the enabling of them to take from us all the good thereof .

      We watn the people that this is the purpose of the Conference ; while , at the same time , we tell them that it is in their own power not only to frustrate this purpose , bat to make this Conference an effectual means of sifting the "CompleteSuffrage Union , " of driving out of it all the wolves , and of gathering the Bheep into the proper fold , so as to consolidate the people's strength by unitting their exertions . We recommend , therefore , that the people take up this Conference , Bat if they purpose to make it a nationally

      beneficial one they must do it spiritedl y and cautiously No means will be left untried by the Siueoe men to secure for its deliberations the result we advert to . Tbe people may and must prevent this . And for this purpose they must be on the alert . Every public meeting to elect delegates must be well attended—the people must take care to be early that the chairman ba not unfairly chosen . Almost all the good of a public meeting may be frustrated by the chairman , if he be disposed to- do so . Let tbe people see to thia therefore ; let no Chairman be allowed to aotvrho has not bean

      elected by the- meeting . If any attempt bo madeset in all probability tbere will—to-call meetings at an'hour when the workhig people can not attend , and when , therefore ,, the * middle men can have it all their own way ; let a representation be instantly made to the Coaaplete Suffrage Committee , or whoever else have the " gettin&up" of tho-meeting , and if this be unheeded , lot a public meeting on some other evening be called to tleot delegates ; let the delegates be elected •; : and Ifet a letter stating the whole- faets , be forthwith transmitted to the Complete Suffrage council at Birmingham . Let this letter be written in the most inoffensive possible

      manner ; short and precise , merely stating facts , but yet so full as to give every necessary information ; and let a copy of it be given not merely to the delegate eleoted by the people-at the fai * " public meeting , " but also- to some honest delegate whose election is undisputed , and let him bring the matter before the Conference at its meeting , if the council shall not have previously done justice in the matter ; In every case the eligibility to sit of every oaiididate « lected at an unfair meeting should be protested against ; the protest should be transmitted to the Council at

      Birmingham , with the same letter containing 3 statement of the facts-on which it is grounded . The same plan must be adopted if any dishonest means are resorted to- for smuggling a Chairman at any public meeting for the election of delegates .. This may be done , either by obtruding a Chairman without election , or by electing him before- the time announced for the meeting . To all these and many other " -dodges , " the " shoy-hoys" are well " up . " They will need watching ; but with care they may be so watched as to b « utterly unabla to-avoid doing some good whether they like it or not ..

      All that the people have a right to require is that every meeting to eleot delegates shall be a fair , honestly conducted , publ / o meetiag . And if any delegates be received who have not been thus elected or any excluded who have been thus elected , it will ba the duty of every other honest delegate at once to protest against the whole thing as a fraud upon the publio , and come away aud leave it . It is all the more necessary that the delegates should be fairly elected , and that they should

      represent fairly the feelings of the people , because the Sturge mon ^ haviug been driven from their pet point of having half the delegates electors elected by eleotors , they have managed to . contrive another by which they evidently hope to effieot the same purposo of subserving the "free trade' * crotchet . This is cunningly concealed under the guise of a most useful and necessary arrangement , and cloaked ovet with much apparent fairness in the following paragraph from their new circular : —

      "With a view to prevent loss of time , and m the hope that all tbe business of the Conference may be terminated in four days , tbe Council will be prepared with a programme of tbe business under discussion . They propose that tbe Conference , at its first sitting , Bhall elect a committee , to whom tbe programme shall be referred , and that such committee shall decide upon tbe order in which all business shall be introduced . It is conceived that tbere will be no disposition to attributo this arrangement to improper motives , as it is not intended that any member of the Council should Lave a vote , either in the Committee or the Conference ( by virtue of his office as Councillor ) , unless elected as a representative for some constituency . They are , however , desirous of being present , to give an opinion or supply information .

      " Copies of the programme of tbe proposed business may be obtained by each delegate upon arrival . " . Now , why not submit this programme of business to the whole Conference foradoptioa or amendment \ The reason is just here . The committee ia to be appointed the first thing . The Council hope that at the beginning of tho proceedings the attendance may not be full , and they may net a- committee of their own choosing ; which committee having power to determine upon what business shall come before the meeting , and how it shall be conducted , will , if not watched well , tffootually destroy the deliberative character of the Conference ; just ad was done at

      tho Clerical Conference of Manchester . Having experienced tho effoot of " the Committee dodge " there we know how to anticipate it . There the " Programme Committee" drew up the resolutions and put down the names of those who should speak to them , and no other parties were allowed to speak at all . This will be attempted at Birmingham , we expect ; but if the people do their duty in the choice of delegates , and the delegates do their duty to the people , it will not Bucceed—or if it even should—if the people have eent euoh delegates as

      they ought to send—every proposition containing a single expression calculated to harm or jeopardize tho cause of straightforward , bold democracy will at once be negatived . The clause of the former circular about binding the people to uphold the " Free Traders" is sure to be in the programme . Let the delegates bo well instructed on this matter . We give from the Nrticonformist , the Sturge oracle , the following excellent remarks from an Address of the Cirencester Chartist Association , to tho Council of the National Complete Suffrage Union : —

      " You propose to ascertain how far the non-electora may be inducod to pledge themselves to use the franchise , when obtained , in favour of free trade . "No delegate , in our opinion , could give such a pledge on behalf of his constituents . We cannot say at what period complete or universal suffrage will be established . It may be law this day twelve months , or a whole generation may pass away , and a new one spring up before it ia obtained . How , then , can any assembly of meni ( whatever their representative cburaeter ) pledge an electoral boi ' . y , not yet existing , to a . particular exercise of the franchise , at some future but indefinite time ? We must receive the suffrage unclogged by conditions . Wo must not barter the free exercise of the franchise , even for the franchise itself . "

      This is the right tone to take , and must bo followed up by the whole people ia their instructions to their delegates . Meantime , as proof of tho necessity of caution in dealing with these gentry , we just noto that the quasi organ of the SturgUea in labouring to defend the iniquitous clause of the last circular , uow abandoned , rested its argument on the assumption that this was not to a decisive but a deliberative body—not a Convention to adopt measures—but a Conference to discuss them ; while the circular before us assures us that the Confereu ' je is called : —

      "Toprepare a bill to be submitted ta Parliament , cmbjd > ing the' principles : md necessary dtr . ais of representation , agreed to at the Conferinct } hod in April lost , and to determine who shall ba recreated' to introduoo such bill into the House of Cor ^ jnions , andalao to dispose of the othtr businces alluded to ia the address already issued . " Purposing to return to this subject , we now call attention in the way of close to tho following extract

      Untitled Article

      from the Sturge circular , to which we think no objection can be offered ;—" It is absolutely necessary that the names and addresses of tho delegates who are appointed to attend the Conference , accompanied by a copy of the minutes of tbe meeting at which they were elected , under the signature of the chairman « f the meeting , ahonld be transmitted to the council on or before Friday the 23 rd day of December , in order that the extent of accommodation required may be known , tickets prepared , and other arrangements made . " Each delegate is requested to call at the office aa soon as possible after his arrival in Birmingham . " This with what we have given above places all the provisions of this document before the people , whom we now advise to begin at once to prepare for the work .

      THE EXECUTIVE . We have not received the returns from elections of the persons nominated to fill up the vacancies in the Executive . The reason will probably be found ia the following extract of a letter from the General Secretary received , this day—Thursday j— " " I almost imagine the election at present will have to be abandoned , because there has not been time enough given . I have had a letter from BairBtow , and be say * there will be moeb dissatisfaction la consequence of the shortness of the time , and Leseh and myseif expected there would have again been plaoed on tbe list those good and noble minds who have taken so active a part ia our movement Very few Iotalities , as ; yet , have sent in their approval or disapproval

      Ton see there are only twelve names ou the list Mr , WatkinBhas declined . Messrs , Koss , West , and Clayton cannot be balloted for , on account of the informality . Morllng ; thero is an objection raised against ; so that there are only Beven candidates remaining . Taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration , perhape it will be as well to postpone the election until the time is settled by the plan of organisatisa . Bee the great number of honest and talented men who are virtually deprived of having votea tendered for ttoetn ; and I am afraid at this juncture tbe votes weuid be far less in number thin they wore a * the last time . Give this letter yeur consideration , and if it meats-your approbation , write a abort article * stating the- reasons I have gives for the alteration . "

      Tothi 3 we can only add that Mr . Clarst as may be eeen from his letter in to-day ' s Star , cannot bo bal-. lotted far , and thai reduces the number of candidates ' one more . We have already given our opinion that , the election is unnecessary , and need notr r therefore , repeat it- But the matter is for the people ; and not fbi > us to determine en .

      Wb have frequently been applied to for informationjupon this Bubjoct , especially since an infamous fellow , who alike disgraces the priesthood and the magistracy , prosecuted , and caused to be imprisoned , a good Chartist for preaching in an unlicensed room . There is certainly no meanness-to which faction will not stoop for the attainment of its ends ; and hence the- necessity , which we have so often inculcated , of ou ? paying the moafc strict and punctilious attention to even those forms of law which , from our having no . power over them , cannot command our respect .
