      •¦ Turn about 1 * fair play , « aya the English Minister te the IQngo ! the Barricades ; tee have exhausted oxr resources for the purpose of upholding your title to the throne of Prance , and now , according to all the rulet of sood faith and " » dj » oriiy , ^ we hare a claim upon you to uphold our ascendancy , at home . True , Mr . Pitt and the statesmen of hl « day were actuated by a doable motiTein putting down the French Revolution ; SniQj , by their du ^ y to Kng » generally j and secondly , lest the example set in Franoe ahould be followed by the English people ; and if the interests of France and

      England were so inseparably united in 1792 , as to Justify the expenditure of so much English blood and 'Rngliah money not yet made , the same reasoning , with a mere change of circumstances , would hold good in 1843 : * hat is , if the ra * e for BepublicaniBm in France is 2752 justified the English Jfinister of that day in expending the country ' s resources to suppress it , surely , KxSatirmukotdis , and , by a parity of reasoning , we haTe n « w a justifiable demand upon the French Exchequer , for the pznposa of suppressing the same spirit in England , which , if not sflenced would aet a bad example to France and to the world . "

      We woald modestly ask if s greater coincidence of opinion could possibly exist than between ihat expressed by ns on the 7 th of September , - and that expressed bj La J > res * e at the close of the month . Did we * ot prophesy the demand upon Trance to aid England in carrying ont her policy ? and did we not say that Locis Philippe would bleed at every pore rather than see a Republic established in Spain , at the Union between Great Britain and Ireland repealed ! But tre said more in the Bame article . We said this : " who trill venture to assert that the invasion of Ireland iy an army of Frenchmen , may net be at the present moment matter of di plomatic consideration ! " That the question of a Repeal of the Union is to be ushered forth

      as one of paramount importance to French diplomatists , we gather the following article which appeared in the Journal des Debais , within the last week : — " Erery one must haTe remarked , that . since the Queen of England , in proroguing the Parliament , expressed in / & : most explicit terms her indignation against the attempts made to produce a dismemberment of the United Kingdom , there hare been less meetings La Ireland , many less monster speeches from O'Connell , and many less hurrahs for Repeal . The Queen ' s speech hu deprived him of his last chance of any longer abusing the simplicity of bis auditory . Tearing

      several months he had daily repeated to his credulous countrymen that the Queen was with them , that she wished to grant Repeal , but that she was the prisoner of a Saxon Government and Parliament ; that they would not rcffer the roice of her faithful Irish subjects to reach her ; that it was far the Queen herself they were fighting ; that their cause was her own j that it was te deliver her from alaTery ; that It was to restore to -her the free exercise of her prerogative that they leagued against the Saxon . But the Queen met the Parliament expressly to denounce and energetically to blame the agitation fox Repeal What does Mr , ( TConnelldo ? He says It is not the Queen who spoke ,

      it was ha Mmiatere , who spoke by her mouth ; the Qaeen is not free , ' Tain subtleties ! The people will no lemger believe it Here commences the embarrassment of the agitator ; he 1 b in a dilemma where he cannot remain without danger , or leave without committing an » ffc of . madness , fie sees himself at the head of an army whose number astounds him , and whose force threatens to tun against himself . Formerly he called meetings to pass renews , and , as he said , to count heads ; at present he confesses that he only holds them to xo&di the boiling eour&ge of the Irish people to evaporate , who are asking him every day when he will

      lead them against the Saxons . Thus Mr . O'Connell , in place of agitating , seeks but to calm ; he only wishes to find an issue to give a passage to the waves he has confined , and by which he fears to he carried oS . 2 io one better + > nm Wrnmif comprehends tYji * critical posit tion : he Imovs better than any other that the first step made towards violence would be his destruction , and at the same time & sanguinary repression . He knows well that the Repeal of the Union is an insane dreambe knows that England , which is the stranger , wOl not gtsst it , because -it -would -mate her descend to the rani of countries of the third order—he knows that not

      only it would be the rum of Ensland , but that it would also be the ruin of Ireland , because the Irish people , in their present « osditioa , ar » incapable of living and walking alone ; but it is beeanse he knows ail this , and knew it beforehand , that a heavy responsibility weighs upon his htafi . Ah ! we comprehended and admired Mr . O'Connell when he agitated his countrymen for the cause of emancipation , and when he orgsnisadover the whole surface of Ireland that vast association which opened to the Catholics and Dissenters the entrance to the national representation . Brit emancipation was something practicable ; the half of England wished it with Ireland ; it could be realized legally and pacifically , and the proof is , that it was se .

      But Rspeall the thing is impossible- Nevertheless Hr . O'Connell apaches it as the only and last remedy to all the evils of Ireland—as a panacea which cneht to cure all the physical and moral wounds of that unfortunate country . ' 'You have no bread , I wDl give you Repeal ! no clothing , the Repeal I no shelter , the Repeal } Remain quite some-time longer , and I promise you shall have if He promises , and he knows he cannot give it . Bat the people , tired of waiting , " and waiting in Tain , will not remain quieV They have been taught to regard ibis dream as a reality ; they have been told that Repeal woald make them a nation ; that withRepeal their fields-would become fruitful , and their

      town * prosperous ; their Chief and their priests nave told them bo , and they believed themi the fools who could play with the passions of the people with impunity , and who are now afraid that these deceived and irritated masses should turn on them , and say , * On what day , at what hour , shall we be free ? When shall we be a nation ? What are you waiting for that you do jh « lead m against the Saxon ? ' O'Connell neither knows what to answer , or what to do . He is like tbB TTHg iwun » bo created a monster and gave it life , bat her © the creatnre revolts against its creator , ana say»—* SnffidcBtly long have I beea your slave ; in your turn be mine , and march . '

      " This is the present situation of Ireland ; it is sad , acd can inspire bat sombre anticipations . " TEhere are , we know , evils to be rem «» died , bnt the Irish themselves appear to oppsse an obstacle to all reasonable reform . Mr . OConnelJ ias ventured his stake nr » n a dangerous card ; he has placed Ireland between Repeal and revolution . Repeal he cannot have ; asd as to revolution , if it were attempted , Which God forbid , the attempt would infallibly conclude in an unfortunate and impotent revolt . " To those who are unaccustomed to the mode and manner in which ministerial journals prepare the way for ministerial action the above article would present no cause for alarm ; bnt to ns who are in

      the habit . of tracing all the acts ofgovernments-from this very source , we recognise in this an ti-Irish tirade , the note of preparation intended to precede the development of thosi plans agreed" upon at the Conference of Monarchs . Apart from this foreign note of preparation , we gather gloomy forebodings irom the smdied silence of our minister , and the appearance of a large fleet in the harbour of the Cove of Cork . In an undertaking which must necessarily re quire jjreat military skill there is no doubt that all the warlike preparations will be entrusted to the Duke of "Wellikstos , while from Mb well known policy of a word and a blow , that execution fihoald follow npon the very heels of design , it is not at all unlikely that even Sir Robert Peel Mmstlf may be kept ineniire ignorance of the

      intentions of theDnke . Enough however peeps throagh the curtain to coBTince us that a conspiracy is on foot 1 that a tremendous blow will be aimed 1 that France and England will be ike chief actors in the Tragedy and that Spain and Ireland will be the stages whereon the drama will be acted . We should not be at aD astonished to find numerons eases of mffitarvand police defection : in Ireland urged as a reason " for an exchange of troops ; and the more especially , as we gather from the press of Franee that thai country and England are now united by a

      Bolemn Leagne and Covenant j while onr eontempwariesat home wonld stonily argue that the amiwile bearing of France , and the evident hostility of Ireland justified reliance npon French soldiers , rather than upon native troops ; while upon the Principle of exchange onr legions may be transporfed to Spain , ihere to fight the battle of despotism , behave great reliance , however , npon the improved aind of JEngland , Ireland , Scotland , and "Wales , and we have a firm conviction that that mind well organized and jodkionsly directed will he capable of resisting any nojust interference with the march o f Democratic priuciptes . 3 "b . e > days of dioot-

      ing and batehery dare not be revived in the present dissatisfied condition of the working and middling classes of this country . The bugaboo of Jacobinism and Republicanism has lost its charm , and that which haunted ike prejudiced mind as a hideous hobgoblin , some fifty years ago , has now been transformed , by the system which crushed it , into a more sightly thing . While matters are thus progressing in France and England , every town and city , in Spain ib riBing up in arms against the recent usurpers ; and the inliabitaDts throughout the country , are crying for the ? -mm *» v *« I knlAj > H . J __ - L 1 _ 3 •__ »* .

      blood of those tyrants , under whose Btandard what remained of the constitBtion was butchered , and are loudly calling oul for a Repnblic . In Spain , that even Napoleon with his conquering army could not subdue ; in Spain , desolated by civil war and revolutions following in rapid succession ; in Spain , all attempts to foist class ascendancy upon the people has failed ; and with one accord Spaniards cry out for a Republic , as the only means of gathering up the whole strength of the nation for the protection

      of its liberties ! The elections are now going on ; and as far as they hare proceeded they furnish ample proof that the bloody Nxevaez ; the soldier-shooting Nxrvaxz ; the liberal-instiration-destroying Nabtatzj the ruffian Nakyaiz , whose bloody deeds affright him from sleeping two successive nightB in one house : these elections prove that that usurper is not even the representative of the electoral body , and therefore lacks all the qualities by which even tyrants jastify their rule .

      There has been no country in the world so trodden upon and oppressed by a legion of unrestrained priests as Spain ; and the very fact of Espaxtebo , who curbed their licentiousness , and wonld have ultimately crushed their power , still standing in favour with a large majority of the people , proves that Spain is tired of priestcraft , and pasts to throw off the remnant of those shackles which the Inquisition imposed upon their forefathers .

      THE "RENT" WAR . CORN EXCHANGE CONSISTENCY . M Don ' t nail his ears to the pump , " is a negative invitation , we presume , under the law to take care that if the job be done , it should be well done ; and never was there a more striking exemplification of the onfcward and visible signs of a thorough respect for the law than that evinced in a speech recently delivered in the Corn Exchange , by aMr . DjiUKi , upon the subject of Mr . Consob ' s recent motion for a manifesto against the payment of " rents , rates , tithes , and taxes . " After a very severe phillipie npon the general principle , Mr . Daitkt proceeds : —

      " Never was there & more complete developemenV of the principle of the bandit t than that on which Mr . Connor ' s motion rested . Not pay rents ? Why , as well might a sum go into a shop and take away the property of its owner without paying for It as occupy the bouse or farm of his landlord and refnse him his equitable remuneration . Had they sanctioned that principle they woald have been no longer th « Repeal Association but a banditti . "Pie people of Ireland were as completely under the controul of the Association as was a good team under the management of an experienced whip . "

      Now , that's plain reasoning , and comes within the scope of the meanest understanding . It means that the Repeal Association has set its face against any interference with the question of rents . But let us see what the very next sentence is . Mr . Dauht proceeds : — " He would therefore advise the landlords of Inland , if they were not destitute of common sense , to Ion not a moment in joining the Association , for their interests were deeply at stake . IT WAS THEIR DUTY AND BUSINESS TO COME THERE ; AND HB ADYISED THEM , IF THEY DID NOT BECOME BEPEALERS , TO LOOK TO THEIR RENTS . "

      If we can understand plain English , this far outstrip 3 Mr . Coksob ' s proposition . The people of Ireland , we are told , are as completely under the whip of the Repeal Association as ever a team of horseB were under the waggoner ' s scomrge . The use of the waggoner's whip is to make the team perform its ** business" and "duty ; " aad , trot , if it is the " business" and " duty" of the landlords to join the Repeal Association , it becomes part of the business and duty of the Repeal whip to make them de so ; and if not , aa Mr . Daunt emphatically says , " LBT

      THEM LOOK TO THEIR RENTS . " We believe ihat it was before Baron Gaihow a man was once tried for committing a rape j and when the crime was fully proved against him , upon being called for his defence , he proved that a fieW of beans belonging to him , upon the road-dde , had been for some time subject to the depredations of the village damsels . After having exhausted all threats of proEecution according te law , man-traps ,

      Bpring gunB , and bo forth , he exhibited large placards , declaring that he would ravish the first girl found trespassing upon his premises . He was as good as his word : he did ravish the prosecutrix ; but upon proving the notice given in the placard , the Judga < iirected the Jury to acquit , and told the criminal that , though he had taken the very best means of saving his bacoa , he had taken the very worst means of saving his beans .

      Now , precisely such is our opinion with respect to the protective influence of Mr . Daukt ' s speech . The Association may be ravished ; bnt the land lords will find that the saving of Mr . Daubt ' s baoan will not tend to the saving of their rents . It would have been much better to have allowed Mr . Coh « ob ' s motion to have died a natural death than to have given it increased vitality by farther discussion .

      THE ENROLMENT OF THE NEW FLAN OF ORGANIZATION . This has not yet been effected . The Certifying Barrister is »// . He is confined with a sore throat . An interview was arranged with him , if well enough , for twelve o ' clock on Thursday . Of course we have not yet heard the result ; but expeot to do so , in time for some of our later Editions . The people however can be carrying out the Buggestion 3 we offered to them last week . They can be making all preparation . Get the funds together ; and the list of names ready for enrolment , the moment the books and cards are issued . No time will then be lost .

      There is one point of business to which we must call attention , crowded as we are for space just now . But in this matter the people have begun to tcork ; aud we want tesee every portion of the work that all and each have to do carried on systematically and properly . The subject to which we now call attention is the sending of funds . We have a General Treasurer . He is also Treasurer to the Victim Fund . To him , and to him alonk , ought all monies either for the Executive Committee , or for the General Victim Fund to be sent . Now , this is a

      point ef business that every one ought to attend to . On no occasion should it be neglected . Let the payments be made to the Treasurer direct . Then all confusion is avoided . Some , at present , send their monies to this office ; others send to other parties . We wish this not to be . We wish no man to assume an office to which he has not been appointed ; and we wish every man who has been appointed to office , to have thrown upon him all tub responsibility of his office . Let the people , therefore , Bee to this . The carrying out of the Plan of Organization

      will mainly depend on themselves : and if they will not observe the common business regulations , they may depend on it that their officers will not long do so . Wo have drawn attention to this matter at the beginning . We wish all to begin well ; and in no matter is regularity and system so much desired as in the transmission aud custody of funds . Get into a lax mode of dealing with them , and we shall soon find all onr basiness laxly conducted : observe strict rule and order with the management of these , and the habit will infuse itself into all other portions of

      our business . Every penny , then , for the Ganeral Treasurer , either for the General Futd , or for the Victim Fund , must be sent to him direct ^ by an order made payable only to himself . Then he will be clearly responsible for all he receives . Such responsibility cannot be thrown upon him , unless this is uniformly done . The address of the General Treasurer is : 11 F . O'Connor , Esq ., care of Mr . John Cleare ,

      1 , Shoe-Iane , Fleet-street , London . " Let ub hope that , in this particular , the sending of funds , all will go right in future .

      DR . P . M . M'Docall ' s Position . —Mt Friends , — Although as Treasurer to tbe Defence Fund I should sot hold myself justified in applying one farthing otherwise than as directed by the Committee appointed iu Manchester tor its application , and although you will believe that I am snfficiently just to view the sufferings of all our victims with an impartial eye , yet do I feel myself as a nan , a Chartist , and a friend , called upon to make a distinct appeal on behalf of Dr . M'Doaall , whose case , in my opinion , is distinct from any other . He it in a strange country , living amongst strange people , and , for aiight we know , unacquainted with their language ;

      and consequently incapable of following his profession , or of supporting himself otherwise than by begging charity in a strange land , which God forbid that we should allow him to do . Even before the law ' s © pprewdon had marked him for spscial vengeance , I made an appeal to you upon bis behalf , stating the sacrifices that he had made , and the prospects that . he bad surrendered to aid in the accomplishment of your rights ; therefore I at all events did not wait for the fall measure of that misfortune of which he hw rinco tasted to consider him worthy of public notice . What is now his situation ? An outlaw ,- an"d allowed to starve with his wife and family in a strange laud by millions , who , like

      myself , have of tea been charmed with his eloquence , and delighted by his enthusiasm * I candidly confess that , were I in Dr . M'pouaH'is position , although I hae \ r Towed ne ve * io receive a farthing of your money y 6 t under such clrcumstanses I should consider your support a debt doe to my exertions , and would gladly receive it ; while your neglect of me would make me doubt your love of the principles of demoeraoy ,: Surely it is no part of justice , equality , or pbUanthropy to say that according to the principles oi ^ mocraoy all our yiotims shoul d be equally treated without reference to circumstances ; and if we desire even to be guided by thacrulaI think inM'DouaU ' a case U has been grossly violated . Just contrast what waf done for Stephens who deserted usand

      , M'Douall who . has never deswted us ; and in that case we sever heard a word as to the propriety of making all equal , or of the glorious principles of democracy . No , no , not a word . I Jove justice and I love to See it equally administered to all ; and it is not justice that one person should have been saddled with nearly the whole expeuce of supporting Dr . M _ DouaU tor the last few months , and especially when that person is a working man . Now there is no task that I more dislike than that of reminding you of your duty : however it is necessary to be done ; and therefore by the love that you profess for the principles of Chartism , and by the affection that you ought to bear to Dr . M'Douall , I would implore of you to transmit each your mite for his auppert addressed <¦

      to Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleetstreet , London , " who is treasurer , and will see to its immediate and proper application . I may add here upon the general topic a request that the Manchester Victim Committee will transmit to me , from time to time , an account of the funds they require for the support of our victims ; and whioh shall be sent to them by return of poBt . I have not as yet beard from them . Feargus O Connor . Scandalous Treatment ov a Youth . —Mr . Henry Dawell Griffiths , of No . 4 , Philpott Terrace , Edgeware Road , London , has sent ub an account of the inhuman treatment of a lad by a person calling himself a " gentleman " , of which we subjoin the following - particulars : — •« On Sunday evening , August 20 th ,

      as a poor , fatherless , and labouring youth , named George North , residing at No . 3 , Lower Uxbridgestrefet , KenBington Gravel Pits , was passing through Wise ' s Fields' , in company with his twe brothers and an acquaintance , the boy heard a train coining up the Great Western line , and ran across the fields to look at it . Wise , the proprietor and occupier of tbe field , was looking over the parapet of a bridge ( a portion of tbe railway ) close to the field where the boys were . He called to them to come out of the grass , which two of them did ; tbe others did not , but made their way to a gap they wished to get through . Wise again called out that they had no business there . Upon hearing tbis , the youth whom he so brutally treated replied , that " other persons

      went there , aud he should . " Incensed at this reply , Wise rushed down the " slope" from the bridge , and struck at the boy with bis walking-stiok . To avoid the blow , the youth made an attempt to take a hasty leap over a ditch , when his foot slipped , and a stake , which was fastened In tbe ground , passed up the left leg of his trousers , and entering bis flash juat above the inner bone of the left ancle , forced its way through tbe calf of his leg , coming out a little below that outer bone of his knee . The poor youth , feeling the pain consequent upon so dreadful an incision , cried oat to Wise , who was now beating him most unmercifully , that he had " broke his leg" but it was not until he bad broken his stick about the youth ' s back that he ceased bis

      cruelty . Freed from one species of torture the youth tried to extricate himself from the other ; to do this he was compelled to draw his leg from the stake ; Wise remarking "It served him right , and would make him remember tbe next time . " Wise now affected the humanity of sending for a wheelbarrow to convey tbe aufferer to a sirgeon , which having been procured , the poor , lad was taken to Mr . Brown ef Kensall Qteen , who slightly dressed the wound ; after which he was conveyed in a cart by Mr . Lander , junior , stone mason , of Kensall Green , to St . George ' s Hospital , a distance of about five miles , where he still lies in a very weak state , the wound not being healed yet , and his leg and foot being very mnch swollen . ' * Mr . Griffiths adds that the field In

      which the boys were is commonly passed through by the public going from Krmaall town to Wormbolt Common , and has a foot-path across it . Two or three footpaths in the neighbourhood have been closed fey this Wise . Mr . Griffiths adds also , that although the youth North had lost bis income of eight shillings a-week which he earned as a plasterer , not one farthing has Wise given htm towards his support . Mr . G . concludes by expressing a hope that those who peruse this account , and are able to give any pecuniary aid to the sufferer , will do so : and also that some kind friend will take him into bis employment , or assist in providing for him until such time as be 1 b fit to resume his former labour . Any person who may be inclined to visit th « said George North will find htm In the FitzwilUam Ward of the above

      hospital , ' when be can be seen any day of the weak . except Sunday or Wednesday , between the hours of three and four o ' clock . Rufft Ridley writes us that he highly approves of the New Plan of Organization . He says— " I was rather averse at first to seeing any other question mixed up with tho Chaita * j but , since then , argument and rtfl motion have quite changed ny opinion . I hope all friends to human redemption will aid in the good work with spirit and perseverance . Let every man give his mite to strengthen the bands of tbe new Executive ; the Treasurer has mine . " Mr . Ridley states that for some months past he has been in a bad state of health , and hence has been unable to take tbe active part he could have wished to have done in tbe Chartist Movement .

Leeds Municipal Elections . —Thomas Beaumont addressing his " fellow-burgesses '' of the borough of Leeds , ^ appeals to them " to vote only for men who will look upon the interests of their constituents ; men who will give their sternest opposition to the present odions Poor Law ; men who will reform the Anti-English police system , and relieve from their ' ardueus duties (?) not a few of the " blue-bottles " who bo , numerously infest the streets of Leeds , kept not for the purpose ef protecting proverty or preserving the peace of the town , but for the purpose of " breaking the heads" of the " lieges , " when

      Hebden Bridge . —We think our friends willl see that the letter of Mr . O'Connor published in this vreek'a Star will serve all the purposes of their resolution . For parselves , we think tbe object of their wrath is not worth the words wasted on him . Posterity will do him justice ; and unless he minds his p '« and q ' s the present generation will be very likely to , anticipa * e the judgment of posterity . If our exclusion of their resolution should put our Hebden friends into ba 4 humour , we would prescribe for them a doBe of Punch—we mean our friend Pwndi , of London , in the number of which , for last Saturday , they will find ample " justice" done to the object of their oeniure—something that will make them , in their mirth , forget how to be 111-tempered with us .

      Brethren , we therefore call spon you to do your duty , as we are determined to do ours . Applications crowd upon us ; and , unless the country immediately assist us witt the funds , our appointment will be useless . Shall it be said tbat the Chartists ef Great Britain have no feelings of sympathy for their suffering countrymen—suffering in ] dungeons for their causa ? No I every principle of justice forbids it . Up , then , and prove to the world ; that you deserve your freedom , by showing your determination to support the men and tbeir families who are Buffering in your behalf . i Id conclusion , we have to state that we have relieved all the oases that have been bronght before us as their several eases required and our means wonld admit of . We would also recommend parties , making application for relief from the fund , to attend to the following rule : — . * ¦

      We will not attend to any application without it coves through the sub-Secretary of the locality in which the applicants reside , or the nearest locality to it : and farther , we do not consider it to be our duty to relieve any but recognised Chartists .

      j Dublin , Sept 23 rd , 1843 . Dear Sir , —In my © pinion there is nothing will inspire the timid , but at the same time honest and well-intentioned , portion of the community with more confidence than an ample " Victim Fund . " In sending you my subscription , an } Irish one pound note , to that fund , and regretting that I cannot afford to send a hundred pounds instead , I beg it to be distinctly understood that I have no sympathy with evil doers—no feeling for those who wilfully , perversely , or ignorantly and obstinately knock their heads against the wall , and thus damage ; the cause in which they are embarked , and involve those who had more experience than themselves in the same troubles which their headlong and } thoughtless course had caused . There is no merit in violating the law ; in running tilt against it , and becoming its Victim . Movements , in strict compliance with the law are the best , aad most successful in the long run . 1

      For instance . Sir Robert Peel got a lau passed which compels the banks to pay their notes in gold ; now it is complying with the { taw , and at the same time complimentary to Sir Robert , to get gold for notes at the banks !!! \ With every wish that this fund may soon be | amply sufficient to meet all just claims , I am , very truly , yours , j Patrick O'Higgins . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., London . J . R ., Pa islet . —Daniel O'Connell did give his sanction and affix his signature i to a series of resolutions embodying the whole of ! the principles of the People's Charter , on which resolutions that document was founded . He did give to Mr . Lovett « diaught of a BUI which was used in the drawing up of tbe Charter , and which "draught" embodied the whole of the principles , and we believe almost the exact details , of the Charter .

Mr . O'Connor ' s character is too firmly established to be shaken by the nonsense of a man who has evidently taken leave of his senses ; we therefore advise our Sunderland friends to let him alone . 11 To the Alkali or Chemical Workers on the Tyne and Wear .

We are not combined amongst ourselves to protect our labour , but pur mas . tors are united amongst' themselves to protect their interests . And why not tho sons of toil unite to defend their prepetty , viz . their labour ? If we look to the present efforts of tbe pitmen , tbe quarry men , and a number of other trades , we must acknowledge we stand self-condemned for sot doing our duty to ourselves , our wives , and children—bat let us no longer neglect that duty . Let a delegate meetiDg of those employed in tbe Alkali Works be immediately called at some central place , say Newcastle , { South Shields , Sunderland , or some other place , that may be most convenient ; and and let us endeavour tof draw up such roles and regulations as will enable us to act together—to support one another In sickness -, to protect our wages from being

      reduced ; to relieve each : other when out of employment ; and to cultivate a feeling of brotherly love , Let some of our friends name a place , aad say when a delegate meeting shall be held , and let tbe men in every Alkali Works net neglect to do their duty , but send a delegate to such meeting . ; R .

      Scotland and the I ^ ew Organization . —We have received the following letter , addressed to Mr . O'Connor , from ene of the noblest patriots breathing , Mr . Molr , of Glasgow . jWe are sure our readers will peruse it with no ordinary interest , coming , as it does , from a man who for years past has ecjoyed the confidence of the working classes of tbat city . Mr . M . expresses bis approbation of tbe " New Plan , " and does so in the best possible way , by sending to the General Treasurer ( Mr . O'Connor ) half a sovereign as his contribution to the Executive . We implore of our readers in general , and those of Glasgow in particular , a serious consideration of the weighty truths contained in Mr . M . ' a letter . Let there be no more of the " werse than nonsense * ' complained of by Mr . Moir : that of shouting for " the Charter and no surrender" at public theetings , and then doing nothing practically to get the Charter . The man who so shouts , and does nothing more , is nothing better than a '' traitor" te the democratic cause . Let every man , according to his means , imitate Mr . Moir ; and let every Glasgow Chartist beprtpared with his name and his pence to join the New Organization tbe moment it has received legal sanction .

      ; 174 , Gauowgate , : Glasgow , 23 rd Sept , 1843 . My dear Sir , —As Treasurer for carrying out the New Plan of Organization , I herewith enclose for you half a sovereign as my mite for the said object In making this communication to you , I cannot help remarking tbat there has not been anything in the conduct of the great mass of the Chartists which has grieved and irritated me , and [ which has extorted from me from time to time stronger and more unqualified nflections than the dishonesty ( I say it advisedly ) hitherto exhibited by them in carrying out the resolutions of the body . I

      To give you a proof of what I mean . In this great city in which I reside , we have had on many occasions , multitudinous—yea , very multitudinous expressions of public opinion in favour ; of our principles , of which you yourself have been witness on more than one ocoasion ; and yet , strange to say , we never had , in the whole city of Glasgow and suburbs , more than two thousand members in our Association ; and I believe we never bad even that number !/ or three months at one time Now , Sir , such things ought not te be ; and such things must not be , if the people have any idea whatever of accomplishing their object No similmr number of tnen to that which toe have hitherto had to work the work , and pay the money , evet can accomplish the object . I make this assertion that that portion of the people who have hitherto contented themselves with looking on and waiting to reap the benefit of our exerlioas , may be thereby stimulated to do their duty .

      I believe the statement I have wade respecting Glasgow is of universal application or nearly so ; aadi » entirely discreditable to the great body of the people for either the people do want the Charter or they do not If they do want it , fi think the xperieaee they bavehad might be sufficient to satisfy thim tbat remaining neutral to not iexaftly tbe way to obtain it in either the shortest time , or at the feast possible expense .

      THE MONSTROUS COALITION . WHIG AND TORT JUNCTION . It is now eighteen months since we prophesied that the success of the Tariff would lead to a junction between Peel and Rdbskll , or that itB failure would lead to the resuscitation of Whig hope . From its enactment to the present moment , one adverse circumstance or another , bas served to buoy up the drooping spirits of Whiggery . England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , have been severally hunted for a Whig crutch : thai forlorn and scattered faction

      greedily cherishing the hope ef party strength oat of national dissatisfaction , disquiet , or even revolution . The astounding announcement of ** iacreased prosperity , through improved trade , " added to the rejection of Whig co-operation by the Irish Repealers , has however cut both legs , —commercial distress , and Irish Whig Revolution , —frena under the rotten body ; and , as we are informed by ibemost able and consistent of onr eotemporaries , the Morning Advertiser , the Whigs , thus commercially and polkicalJy disappointed , have reselved upon sharing the loaves and fishes . i » thet Cam , with tbeir Tory

      brethren !

We faoey the remarks of the Chronicle to which we allude may be reg » med a > bearine on this point . Perhaps , indeed , Sir Robert Peel has never entertained the idea f « a moment of coalescing with the Whigs . It may , in possibility , be that be would disdain to do so .

      are reckoned nothing but rubbish f But let others be surprised ; ve are not We were dismally sensible of what our Russells are composed ; and wear * free to ewn that upon a bet of the upshot , should fiir Robert Peel he induced to advance tbe proposition of coalition , we would have staked ourstlves to infinity on the manner in which It would be received . The Whigs all of a sudden discern that there "is an undoubted general revival of trade and sommgree " that " passing from our eeonemical to our social and political condition , that there is a very considerable improvement in the feeling of the balk of the working classes ; " that "Chartism has fallen from fever heat to the freezing point , " and that while our Btate is prosperous to this extent is the time to—what may tbe country think t Why institute _

      such great measures a * Education and general Drainage ! "The whole object , however , in alluding to such indications ob the part of the Whigs as these , can be simply for the purpose of placing the more credulous part of the community upon their guard . Tbe more sagacious will see through tbe deception at a glance ; and while execrating the political pandering , feel nothing but a renewal of thai nausea which the Whigs have so invariably and powerfully excited . Of the consequence of & ooalition of the nature adverted to , we imagine there woald be but one thought throughout the country . In all agea , and under all disposition ot circumstances , it has proved so , that when men combine to foreg * their principles at the shrine of some political object , treason is tbe only spirit that presides

      upon tbe scene , and that truth and honesty are cast down like vain gsds to be spumed , but no longer adored . Tha Peel amalgamated with the Russell tenets in politics , or tbe Russell with tbe Pee :,- and then the issue that would ensue , could there be anything more monstrous ? To prevent " movement" would be the first grand effort ; to place barriers of iron against the principle of progress would he the first resolute design . The sliding scale might , it is possible , be induced to succomb t * fixed duty , and the work of education might be re-attempted under the auspices of a church hierarchy . Bat as to government which tbe country could endure from snch

      a combination of principles , tbe idea were villany ran mad . We say it in a spirit of the most perfect composure of conviction , that the country could not tolerate the profanity of a Peel-Russell Administration . Under appalling circumstances it has , it is true , been tutored to a state of unexampled forbearance and docility ; bnt to assume that the first genuine instincts of the British millions would suffer without rebelling against a Government composed of profound despotism and unquestioned treachery , were to assume that the natural laws < Jf the human mind were reversed , and that Britain , boasting of its political freedom , were suddenly sunk , enslaved under the strongest and the foulest political bondage .

      " If , therefore , the genius of Chartism sleep , let It arouse itself now , when such a prospect of national degradation darkens the horizon ; if , therefore , the liberties and the honour of the country are thus assailed , let not a moment be lost in placing at defiance the menacing array of inauspicious circumstances . " We are of opinion , however , that the rumour is a fiction got up to shew the current of the wind . The nature of public sentiment being ascertained , the Whig organ will , doubtless , be as ready to repeat bis veering propensity from the left as to it , and be only too happy in the chance of an opportunity to renew the hollow adToeaey of views and opinions which he can shift off with an adroitnes ^ peculiar only to Whiggery . * ' But however this may be , we on our part are prepared to stand stanch to the national cause , and to resist to the death the faintest manifestations that may indicate themselves of a Peel and Russell coalition Cabinet "—M $ rning Advertiser .

      We thank our contemporary for the invitation to arouse . It is true Chartism has slept ; but is now awakened , and prepared to arrest the " national degradation that darkens the horizon . "
