Though there were no delegates present from Scotland , I beg to express » hope that neither yon nor the men of the South -will ccnclude that Chartism is dead in the ** land o'csies . " Haying read Mi . Hill ' s

      letters , aDd tdso those of Mr , Harney , I have no hesitation in giving my testimony to the troth of the statements contained in them regarding the condition in which our cause stands in Paisley , sad other places both east and west of it There are few meetings being held -, little or no organization ; no ltcturing ; do contribut ions ; fcnt along with the iron that has entered the aonl , has entered a deep and firmly rooted conviction , that so sppliance , no proposed remedy short of the Charter , is in any degree worth one moment's consideration , as calculated to remove the macifoid oppressions -which msrnle has long Imposed upon the toiling multitude ; which no . artifice , no showj parade , no promise from any party or person , however respectable or honest soever lie may be be , can ever ablactate or destroy . Ko

      - Ours is -do seedling chance-strewed by the mountain , In summer to flourish , in winter to fide . *' Chartism , believe me , is ia life , and waits only the call to awafcen from a most relreshiug slumber , which will 1 » found to cave invigorated , strengthened , and given sew energies to it , far surpassing -what the ««" ^ or snr&ee observer , ignorant of onr character , might suppose . Of late , and even at * T »» moment , great and Important lessons are being read to the world . Think youttat the " canny Scot ™ cannot appreciate these , and take counsel from them ? Be assured he has been and

      is doing . In the midst of our distresses , for the long period of eighteen months , and while we were repeatedly l&ctared on the great advantages that would result from a total and immediate repeal of the Corn Laws , it was utterly imposable for the League , even when- the suffering in this town waa at its worst , to get one lecture passed eff with its fallacies unopposed , even ¦ when it was deemed by that party ^ sitnated as we were , to be the very height of inhumanity . TMs proves something Barely for onr fixedness of purpose , and onr attachment to the great and glorious principles which we have espoused .

      Scotland , Sir , it precisely the very kind of soil on Which Chartism , to the best and most lasting advantage , can be made to grow . It may bourgeon more slowly than in some other and more genial climes '; it may not appear so pleasant to the eye & ¦ where it is to be seen dazzling at every look ; bat it is , permit me . to say , more healthy on that very tecount , and better able to stand the blasts as tkej blow across the channel of adversity from time to time . I / st , then , the full decision of the Conference and the Plan of Be-organintion to which they have agree ! , be laid before -us . Xet us examine it , and digest it- and if it meets with onr approval— -which I think it is likely to do from . what we know of it already—you will find that Scotland will rally to your assistance , and I trust that her conduct in past time is no bad guarantee for the future .

      P . Q ., TOBMOKDEH . —His advice to the " I * overs of Liberty in the Yale of Todmorden "' is very goed , but too lengthy for our columns . We subjoin an extract : "A number of the people ' s delegates have met in Conference at Birmingham , and have almost unanimously adopted the Plan which appeared in the Northern Siar from Sis pen of the Editor , very recently . Some slight alteration * and amendments have been introduced ; but in substacca toe plan adopted is thai above referred to . This Plan con-Beets the Land qnestian "with the Charter . This yon istrncted your delegates to oppose ; but a majority of the delegates having decided in f avonr of the Plan , it becomes your duty to assist in carrying it out . If o ¦ man who cannot , without sacrifice , subscribe to the

      Land Pnnd , or who censdentiously objects to it , is compelled to do so . Me may , as heretofore , subscribe only to the General Pond of the Association . As & whole it is an excellent Pian , and will , 1 hope , have your hearty support . 1 trust , then , that you -who thhiV the Charter is the just right of the people , will come forward and rally round the New Organization , determined to give it a fair trial as the means by which we may legally and constitutionally obtain oar rights , and destroy for ever corruption and oppression . " J . 2 J . H . —We cannot spare room for his long communication . He must excuse us . The general reader aetks not , nor lifces not , long letters . Occasionally ¦ we-give such : but "whenever we do so , a loud outcry

      is the consequence We * hall have to discontinue the practice to a considerable degree . A Middle Class > Ja 5 , Lo > 'doji , must take the above answer to hiiiiself . Mr . Cajtdt—We have received a communication from a person at Bilsten , who writes on behalf of Mrs . Candy , of a nature which it much behovta Sir . Candy to know of and notice . If he desires it , we will pnt him in possession of the alleged facts set forth : and if he does not desire this , we shall send the communication to the proper quarter , and leaie the matter to be dealt with as the parties think fitting .

      not inserted . This non-insertion "was in accordance ¦ with a determination on the part of the present conductor of the Star not to give publicity to accounts of local or personal . squabbles or quarrelling * . - This determination ho means to abide by ; and has no doubt but thsf a perseverance in it will be found Eost beneficial to the Chartist cause . If any difiS .-ence should spring up in any lecality , it must be settled by the locality itself . At all events the Siar shall not interfere in it Its doing so tends to widen and extend the breach , by filling every body * menth , and setting the whole country to canvass a matter , and probably to quarrel ever it , when it only belongs to the locality itself ; and who , were no notice taken of them , would soon nuke it up and be friends , or " asree to difft 2- Koberi HAanLTOH . —We know of no way by which

      Thos . Wikter , Leicester . —We are not aware" any communication that has been unattended to . If any such have been sent , and withheld because deemed unimportant , most assuredly it would not be mentioned in the "Notice to Correspondents . " Were ^ bto to notice all that we receive and Tej ^ ct , we sbonld sometimes almost fill the piper with ootices ThiB , we fancy , would not be" » ery well relished . Merthtr Ttdyil Cuartjsts—We have no knowledge of the letters of " Q ^ archen . '' unless they are

      some letters by Mr . Thos . P .-ice , of Porth-y-glo . If they are the letters we bave named , we certainly Cinnot afford them space : for , independent of tho consideration that they are on a &u " ycX not generally interesting to the ma& ^ fs , n great portion of them are in the Welsh language—a language which ¦ we certainly have no idea of ; and therefore , have no means of knowing whether the writer is not indulging in the" rankest of sedition and treason at our expence . This alone would prevent our inserting them .

      Hahiltox Gbat need be under no fear . It does not necessarily follow that because we have been unable or may be nnwilling to find room for his communication , that therefore " with the change of E litor there is to be a change of principle . " No one in the Northern Siar has laboured more than the present conductor of it , to expose the fallacies , and demonstrate the nnsouniners , of what are called Free Trade principles . It is net , therefore , likely that we shall note advise a " yielding to the League . " Our " squeamish sensibility" about the manntr in which " Hamilton Gray" presents Sir . Swing , may surprise him ; but we fancy that were he in the position of soma people ,

      made to bear a prosecution for " seditious libel , " with that ptosecution followed by sixteen months solitary confinement in a felon ' s cell , ho "would be surprised still more- It is all very well for aucb . men as ' * Hamilton Gray" to write " sternly , " in an assumed name , and get other people to run the riBk of publication ; and it is better still , when those " other people" hesitate to be so used by men who say " these axa no times for indolent fear" land yes write under assumed Bcnnes ) for these Eitne men \ with assumed names ) to pretend thut a " change of principle" is involved in such hesitation . " Hamilton Gray" says he does not

      like" This cutting out , and cuttiDg in ; These fears to lose ; these hopes to win ; Shuffling , and sorting , and concealing , With double games , and much misdfciling . " By all meanB then let him write in his own name , and rnn his own risks ! Moses Simpson and Friends , Staffordshire- — We would recemmend that Mr . Thomas Siarkey lay his case before the Vietim Fund Committee , which will no donbt be appointed in Manchester , in accordance with the recommendation of ihe Conference at Birmingham . They can consider

      it ; and would probably deem it one calling for some little aid . The Defence Fund is tor another object . It is for the drjenoe of those yet in the toils of the law . From the communication cf Mr . Roberts to the Conference , it seems that there will be little enough in hand for that purpose ; and , if the whole case should have to come before the fifteen Judges , there will be far too little- Belief from that sonrce , therefore , cannot be had ; but if Mr . Starkey applies to the Committes we point him to , there is a chance that something may be done for him out of the slender means at their disposal .

      northern Star for September 2 nd , 1843 , and in . the fourth column of the third page be will fianbe announcement he speaks of . That announcement went through all the editions of the paper for that week ; and we are surprised that it can have escaped R Brook's-observation .

      onio . i , patience , and perseverance in their present straggle . Pbogress of the Cause and Reception of the ~ Sev ? Plan . —From Mr . D ^ vid Boss , the talented , and prudent Chartist lecturer , we have received the following : — Dear Sir , —I find the good friends of democracy here are gaining ground every d 3 y . On Sunday last , upon my arrival , I found npwards of thirty of my good friends , who had travelled from Keighley in order to spend the day in the cause of democracy . This is as it should be ; it proves lhat we are interested in each others welfare , and not above showirjj it . On Monday I delivered two lecture * , and { as the stagers h 3 ve it . ) drew crowded houses on both occasions . Last night I dwelt upon the new Pian of Orgair . zi ' . ioB . and 1 never found a better feeling pervade a mt-Ktine st any previous time .

      I ihint it would very nmch tend to the advancement of our principles , if yon wonld print the New Plan in a circular , or pamphlet form , many thousands would then obtain it , who are now , alas ' too poor to purchase s . Siir , and it is important that the world should be apprised of our future intentions , for not a few of our enemies will be astonished when they find , despite our ireas' jnub ' e propensities , tbet we have at last wrtsted from th «> bands of our ereraies all the protection that the laws of our country in this instanct can afford .

      Mj Dear Friends , —In my short letter to you from Glasgow , 1 mentioned some things in which it was my purpose thereafter to spejk with you more at large . I told you that I had then lying by me an article from the Times newspaper , which afforded arguments for the Urbanization of the people more cogent and oonclasive than perhaps any that I fcave yet seen submitted to you from any quarter . Here it is . It is taKcn from tho leading columns of the Times newspaper of the 4 th of August . Its immediate point of reference is to the " Rebecca" movement in Wales ; "while its reasoning shews that the enrmy fear nothing so much as the cool prudence , thb intelligent inquiry , and peaceful , quiet , " systematized , " organized onward movement of the public mind . Just in proportion to the amount of bluster and noife , and violence , and physical destruotiTeness which they evince , are the " agitators" of the public voted harmless—( and often indeed useful)—by the factions . But how ! let the Times speak : —

      " One remarkable and very consolatory feature in the Welsh movement hitherto , has been the entire abser . ee of political character in its professed efforts and aims . Much as any series of disturbance and violations of law is to be blamed and regretted , mere disturbance—mere matter-of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not what excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman . It is when that disorder begins to reason and systematisewhen it appeals to broad principles and deep foundations , that it becomes really ominous and formidable in the politician ' s eye . Discontent then becomes disaffection , and diForder revolution . The Welsh rioters have kept clear of these dangerous assumpT tions , and coufined themselves to particular definite grievances ; and therefore it is , wo presume , that they

      have obtained no patronage from the Liberals in this coantry . Had they vapoured about the origin of society , the . rights of man , and the social compact , instead of attacking toll-gates , the Rebeccaites would doubtless have obtained the applauding sympathies of Mr . Hume and Mr . T . Duncombe . As it is , these and other worthies of the Liberal school Beem , by their silence , to have v * ted the Rebecca movement a ' slow' affair , undeserving their attention ; and the month that would have been wide open , declaiming against the oppression of country Fquires and magisterial auioorats , had no tangible or accessible grievances been shewa , are shut when a real case is made out and proved , as we conceive it is now , by the poor and dependant , against the rich and ruling class .

      " We sincerely hope the Welch poor will continue unconnected , as they now are , with the Radical theories , and vulgar politics of the day . So long a ? they are clear of such connection , they will have the sympathies of all respectable peoplo with them , so far as regards their intelligible rightful claims . Mourn as we must over the downfall of so much timberwoTk as has taken place within the last week or two , and little as we like the ironical female habit , and the Jewish nomenclature of these certainly not very ; feminine or delicate movers , we had rather see them acting their grim farce than talking Chartism . We Drefer Miss Rebecca to Miss Mary Ann Walker . Do not philosophise , do not speechify , do not prate , we would tell them , but stick to your

      tolls and market dues . Do not mount upon stilts , do not be carried sway by demagogues , do not make your cause , which is at present a most clear , intelligible , matter of fact one , a seditious theory , hairbrained sentilmentalit-m- At the same time , we would beg fo remind the Magistrates oi Carmarthenshire , the turnpike trustees , the learned Government Commissioner ( Mr . Hall ) , or whomever else it may concern , that these grotesque exhibitions will certainly end in something further , if redress is not actively and conscientiously looked to . Itebscca will doff her bonnet for the cap of liberty , and take to more offensive weapons than the mallet or crowbar , if something ia not soon done . We are happy to gee that some of the trustees of turnpikes are already beginning the work of clearance , are opening

      the roads , and facilitating access to the market towns . These and the like remedies are politic , and absolutely necessary . If they are applied immediately , they may save a population from becoming the victims of revolutionary oratory . Wait , procrastinate a little , and you will have embassies from the Political Unions , the Reform Associations , and the Operative Club , deputies from Manchester and Birmingham , nay , and Repealers from Ireland , Yankees , Frenchmen—the whole kit of them offering their polite service to Rebecca , congratulating her on her bold achievements , and gently initiating her into all the mysteries and freemasonry of the Radical cause . Tne Welsh people are not so far gone as yet , we believe , but that Esal , taci , and good feeling combined may bring them round again . But if nothing is done , people are driven into Chartism . "

      Here you have the whole matter " put" very hoDestly , and very simply . Outrage , disturbance , and disorder ; destruction of property , " mere matter ' of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not tchat excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman ! " No , no . There is always enough of force—organized force—at the command of " the Statesman" to : enable him to deal with "mere matter-of fact disturbance . " It ) b when the " poor population" begins to inquire into the why ? tho how ? and the wherefore?—when it " reasons" — when it " appeals to broad principles , and deep foundations "—and most especially , when , after the reasoning and the appealing to broad principles and deep foundations , has begotten clear conceptions of

      effects and causes , it begina to * ' systematise , " that its operations " become really ominous and formidable in the politician ' s eye . " " Discontent then becomes disaffection , and disorder revolution" Yes ; ye 3 ; Mother Times ! We know all about it . And , thank God , the people are beginning to know all about it . They are beginning to understand and practice the lesson 1 have been dinging into them this dozen of years past—that their power is in their intelligence which enables them to " reason , " to " appeal to broad principles and deep foundations " , and to " systematixs " , to arrange , and bring into a focus , their moral energies . A peaceful appeal to

      principle ; a consistent exhibition of principle ; a steady perseverance in principle , whenever exhibited , always " excites the alarm and apprehension" of the statesmen who live by public plunder , and whose interests aTe bound up with those of the robber classes . While the people can be kept in that Btate which limits their exertions for the removal of oppression to " mere matter-of-fact disturbance "to mere destruction of property and physical violence , they may be always used as tools in the hands of the middle classes to work out their purposes , and laid by , or destroyed , as soon as those purposes are served .

      The " higher" classes are always as ready to beat down the middle ckases as ihe middle men are to trample on the labourers . The iandlorda are always willing to extract as much rent—the parsons lo exact as mnch tithe and church-rate , and the jobbers of all sorts lay on every kind of impost which can and will be borne as heavily , as they each can . These in iheir direst influtnee fall upon the middle classes j though the poor labourers pay for all in the long run ; because , though having neither cans , horses , beasts of burden , norlands , they are not liable to pay tolls , tiib . es , nor onurch rates , and not much amount of rent , yet their l * buur it is , out of which all these very payments are made by the middle men , and without which

      they would not be made at , all . The payment ot these several imposts is first made a pretext for bringing down their wages to starvation-point ; and then , when this has been accomplished , the middlemen begin to consider how they shall get rid ot the payments and pocket the money . This is just the whole matter now at issue in the " Rebecca movement , " as the riots in Wales are termed . I have long since , in the Northern Slar , warned you that this was a middle-class movement for the effecting of the purposes and the serving of the interests of those classes by the exertions and at the sole cost of vhe working men who may be fools enough to aid in it . I told you tbat the labour of pulling down the toll bars , the harrassment of these nocturnal

      excursions , the risk of being shot by the military on the spot , and the reward of being imprisoned , tranu ported , or hanged , when their work was done , was all that the working men would be allowed to get from this " movement "—while the middle men would get rid cf many of the imposts they complain of , not only without mending » he condition of the labourers one bit , bat that they would be the first to transport and hang them out of the way . I see nothing yet bnt confirmations of this view of it . I have read carefully the article " Rebecca Movement" in last week ' s Star : 1 have

      noted especially all that is said by ** Our oien Correspondent . " I Had it all of the same cast ; tolls , tithes , and rentBAre the burden of the song . Something is Baid about " fixity of tenure" fox the farmers , but nothing about land for the labourers . A great deal is laid about the crying evil of high rents , and heavy tithes and tolls , bat not a word of any purpose to spply ft single fartbing of the moiiey which now goes for these purposes lo ib . 8 increase of wages . There is something , to be Bare , said about the New Poor Law , and that seems i ^ be a poor man's question ; but there ar « two « a « to that fuesuoo ; and the Star ' s torreafOL dent

      does not tell as which of the two strings Robecca I "" 55 ? » b 0 * mth He does not tell us whether it D 3 the ill treatment of the poor , under this hellish system ,, or the increased expenditure and heavier rates which it occasions , that is the chief ground of compjamt by the midnight orators to whose secret meetings he Was admitted . I strongly suspect that ihe latter ! S the real grievance . ihe whole struggle is one for the division of the plunder . The Welsh farmers think that they have not so large a share of it as they ought to have . The corrupt press , therefore , of which the ' . Times is chief , feeing that the whole pillage is still " to remain m . tai * » " fin - ds H easy and convenient to counsel that the distribution should be made somowhat

      fair ; that the " rogues" uhould cease to " fall out , " lest the honest step in for their own , and the people bo "driven into Chartism . " The limes knows perfectly that if onoo the people be " drives into Chartism , '' they will sooa make the discovery that it is a matter of no consequence at all to them whether the farmers pa mu £ h orii . tlleofrent , and tithe , and rates , and tolls . They will then look to higher sources of universal mischief , and to tho appropriation of tho rents , taxes , rates , tithes , and tolls so paid and levied . Hence tho politic fear of the Times that the people should " begin to reason , " and to " appeal to-broad principles and deep foundations . " The Ttmes knows perfectly that whenever the people do

      this , generally , the foundations" of class rule , and clasB robbery consequent on . class rule , must speedily give way . Hence his fear of the " embassies from Political Unions , Reform Associations , and Operative Clubs , " and of tho deputies from Birmingham and Manchester . " Philosophizing , " " reasoning , " systematizing , " " appealing ( , o broad principles aDd deep foundations , " talking of "the rights of man , " audthe " social compact , " plays the very deuce with factions . It " puts the cat among 3 t the pigeons" with a vengeance ! Aud hence the difference in tone assumed by the Times , and other newspapers in reference to the riots , arsons , and destructions of property in Wales , and the peaceful

      movement of the Chartists , who were induced to join the strike movement last year . They " appealed ito broad principles and deep foundations "they appealed to common sense , to " the rights of man , " and to the " social compact" ; they destroyed no property , but they said " these are ' broad principles' of general right which we wish to see established for the protection of our own property . We do not see these broad principles recognised or acted on , and , therefore we are ' discontented and cannot but feel ' disaffected' to the system which robi as of the proceeds of our labour . " This ' was " Revolution "; and the" authorities" were loudly called on to act instantly and effectively with "« vigour beyond ihe law" I

      Of course , the people will learn from all this , the lesson that there can be nothing but mischief to themselves come of their giving their aid and countenance to any schemes for mere" matter-of-factdisturbance" or to any reforms which do not" appeal to broad principles and deep foundations . " As trhey have always hitherto had , so they always will hereafter have , merely the hangings , transportings , and imprisoning for their share of the bouofits reulting : from such revolutions . But I trust that they wUl also have a deeper lesson than this from it . It scarcely needed this excellent artiole from the Ttmes to teach them this lesson now . I trust they will see from this fair statement of the character of the " Rebecca" movement and of the Times' reasons for sympathising with ihe R jbeccaites , the

      necessity for that Organization which , though its importance is self-evident , they have never yet had . How piteous it is to see poor men—honest menworking men—fooled by the middle classes into these " mere matter-of-fact disturbances " , for want of that knowledge of their own right , of" t . he rights of man " , and of " the social compact" which might enable them to " appeal to broad principles and deep foundations" I They cannot have that knowledge , save from " the embassies " , " the deputies" from Birmingham and from other places ; and they cannot have these , because no efficient organization exists by which missionary enterprise can be called into active and extensive requisition . Was I not right , then , in saying that this article afforded most powerful arguments for a National Organization of the whole people for these objects ?

      I have read carefully the report in the last Slar of the doings of the delegates at Birmingham . I wait anxiously the appearance of their plan . And , in reference to that plan , let me , before h comes , say one word to ail those who attach value to my thoughts and counsels . It is scarcely probable that it will ; meet every one ' s approbation . There may likely enough be some things in it which some may think had been better otherwise ; but if it have but two great qualities which are indispensible ; if it be perfectly legal ; and if it be at all workable , —for Heavens sake let us have no bickerings about trifles ; but let it be at once adopted and let it be brought into vigorous and universal play . Let no man who names the name of Chartism dare to make

      his own crotchets a stumbling block in the way of our onward progress ; and if any man do so , out of the ship with him as a piece of vermin ; overboard with him at once , beforo he have time to do mischief . There can be but one opinion upon the necessity of our haying some Plan of Organization possessing the two requisites I have named—legality and workableness—all others are minor considerations , and none but an enemy would seek to divide us upon them-Any minor imperfection may be either guarded against in the working of it or remedied hereafter ; but now is not the time to stickle on them . Legal it must be ; readily workable it must be : beyond this .

      while every man has a clear right to commont on . it —to shew what he thinks to be its defects , if any , and where he thinks it capable of improvement , no man who wisheB well to the movement has any right to offer one jot of obstruction to its adoption or operation because of the objections he may have to particular pori iona of it . He who does so , whatever he may pretend to be , or whatever he may think him-Belf , I think to be no true Chartist , 1 am , as ever , Your faithful friend and servant , William Hill . Hull , Wednesday , Sept . 13 , 1843 .

      P . S . I learn from several private letters , that my friends in the Newcastle district are much disappointedat my not visiting them on my return from Scotland as first arranged . I regret , but could not help the disappointment . When my arrangements for my late tour were made I had no conception of the " change" which was to come over my own position and affairs ; this change brought into operation circumstances wich compelled me to get back to Hull a week or two sooner than I purposed . I trust this will satisfy my friends that I did not " pass by" them from any want of courteous feeling . They do not know the difficulties of my position just

      now . I must remain here for a abort time . I am making arrangements which will enable me to go through the whole country , if required , after that time . Newcastle , Shields , Sunderland , and Carlisle , and all that district shall have my first attention when I move . I shall take them on my way back to Scotland again . I will take care to give notice of my coming ; and when I return again from Scotland , I-shall be at liberty to attend to any invitation I may have received to any part of England . I wish in the meantime to hear from good men and true all over , that I may know " how things are . " All letters directed to me at Hull will find me . W . H .

      IO THE EDITORiOF THB NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In the Northern Slar of last week , there is an ariiole headed Complete Suffrage Lie , containing ai attack on some observations of mine , made at the late Leicester meeting , which requires some explanation from me . I found that reports injurious to Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Sturge ' a Committee , were in circulation , to the i-fffct that the former was encaged by the latter , and that £ 28 was paid for O'Oonnor ' ri services at the NoMingham election . Although I had given a public contradiction to this , the public press which inserted the calumny , did not insert the denial with one or two exceptions ; and I heard the matter named ] in its most offensive form oa the day of the moeing . I took that occasion to repeat what I | had previously stated in my public letter—the whole of which was perfectly true , and quite in accordance with whiu was

      published by mo immediately after the H- 'Ction , in the British Statesman—That Mr . OConnvr ' s services were perfectly voluntary , and was given tcith a distinct delardtwn on his part t ' tat he would not receive any reward for his services—not even repayment of his traveling expences . That Mr . O'Connor ' s services ware recognised by the committee , and appointments nude by them , and correspondence entered into with him , has nothing at all to do with 'ho fact I stated ; which referred to O'Connor ' s first , offer of assistance , which was uninvited and unexpected : for from the manner in which he he had jspolte ot Mr . Sturge and his movement , it could j not have been expected that he would have come forward at the election . 1 have always said that this conduct on his part was honourable , and 1 can prove that his first speech in Nottingham fully bears out all 1 have ever said on this subject . i

      As to the £ 27 103 . paid by Mr . O'Connor to some of " his brigade , " ( to use his own expression , ) I never named it until waited upou by O'Connor's friends , in order to disprove the calumny of the Times . I felt it my duty to do this when invited by thorn to do so , and did not think it out of place when I found it current in Leicester . I did not speak of it as involving the slightest disparagement to any party . Mr . Feargus O'Connor has taken the liberty of speaking of me as the paid Secretary of the committee . There is no term sufficiently strong , even in Mr . O'Connor ' s elegant vocabulary , to designate this enormous falsehood . It is unfortunately characteristic of its author . I nev <* r received even the

      value of one shilling , | either directly or indirectly , for any services iu that election—in fact never received any reward for any public service . It is well known to many ; that I have injured my prospects in life , and my business by the part i look ; but have never had any reward , either by money or interest ; and I have no hesitation in stating my conviction , that O'Connor knew this to be false when he stated it . As I do not think it necessary to imitate his example , by going into a court of law , to vindicate myself from charges like these , I merely call upon him to substantiate or retrace

      it . One he cannot do ; and ho has not the magnanimity to do the -other , Therefore , I cau only pity the man , whoie reckless temper and fierce passion will not allow him to view his fading influence amongst the people with better feelings than that of the bitterest animosity against all who may differ from him in opinion , in any allusion to the events of that election , I have had no other wish than to do the fullest justice to all parties concerned , j Your ' s , very respectfully , ' Thomas Begg 3 . Worcester , Sept . 13 , 1843 .

      [ Wehave 4 with all readiness , given insertion to this explanation ; though had we imitated the example sefc us by the organs of Mr . Beggs ' s party , we should just have contented ourselves with misrepresenting him , and then have left him to make his best uf it . He himself says , that" the public press which inserted the calumny , " —that which gave rise to all that has beeu since said and done — " did not insert the denial . " Let ua ask Mr . Beggs , did even the " Sturgeite" papers dp this i Did the Nonconformist ? Did the Leeds Times , tho Bradford Observer , the Leicester ChroriicleJ or any other of Mr . Beggs ' s mouthpieces ? Now had we meted out the justice to Mr . Beggs that his friends have meted out to us , we should not have inserted his contradiction- to what now appears to'j have been an unfounded

      allegation . Not long ago the Nonconformist came out with a most cold-blooded rascally attack on the character of Mr . O'Connor ; an attack more attrooious and saintly than any that ever disgraced any portion of the English press ; and that is saying a great deal . ! To that attack we gave such au effec&iv . « and conclusive answer , that tha Nonconformist , who had promised to return to the onslaught , has been silent ever since , as far as his own fulminations have been concerned . But did he insert the answer 1 Not be indeed ! And while the attack was duly chronicled in every Complete Suffrage Whiffier throughout the land , not one of them had the fairness to give currency to the answer , or even to note the fact that we had driven the antagonist from the field . Such is the sense of justice that actuates Mr . Beggs's friends .

      Mr . Beggs says , "ihe does not think it necessary to go into a court of ilaw to vindicate himself from such charges , " &c . ' He has no need . JuBtico is afforded him without ; . He has asked us to afford him the opportunity to explain tbat a representation that he had been paid for his electioneering services , inserted in oui : columns , was unfounded . We have given it to him . Would his own friends have done so , had he been a Cnartist { Did they do so in the case of Mr . O'Connor , when they had charged him with theft and fraud ? Mr . Beggs has himself' snewn that they did not ,

      and would not . jit waa therefore necessary , in that case , to " go into a court" ; for when the verdict was given that tfeeir lies were libellous , then they did insert the contradiction , but not before . They did to compulsion , for fear of consequences , what they could not afford to do to love of justice . We , on the contrary ^ can afford to allow Mr . Beggs to state his own caso ; nay even to advertise his sacrifices and his own self-devotion ; and , withal . to have a fling at Mr . ! O'Connor ' s " fading influence . " Therefore he may well say " he does not think it necessary to go into a court to vindicate himself . "

      We have thought it proper to mark the difference of conduct pursued by Mr . Beggs ' s justice-loving , quiet , cool , philosophic friends towards the Chartists , with that pursued by us , of " reckless temper and fierce passion , " in the ( not very strong ) hope that the contrast may shame them into a better behaviour for the future . Into the general question , as to the propriety of Mr . Beggs ' s conduct , and that of his associates , at tho Nottingham election , we have not entered . Wa shall leave that for Mr . O'Connor himself . —Ed . N . S ]
