      TO THE CHARTISTS . Mt Fbiesis , —You will bare learned from th « letter of the Executive which appeared in the Second Edition of last week , and also from my letter to Mt . iKdd Pratt m the present nsmber , that that functionary has most audaciously and unwarrantably Tefnsed te uersify our New Plan of Organinfion . You will feave further learned that he had made up his mini to refuse , before the rales were presented to Mm . In addition to which I hare aletter now lying before me from a bighly respectable- gentleman , m which is the following passage : —* ' Iirast by this time jon hare heard further from John Tidd

      Pi * tt ; and 1 can assure you that I have submitted ndes to the correctness of which he has certified wi&ont ever looking at them , but merely passed them ibttragh the hands of his clerk ; " but tee know the reason . " Now that ' s the extract ; and-1 have the letter : and I too , aaustknow the reason , and the whole country shall know the reason , as I never ieep secrets upon pnbBc questions . . I mast also know the reason , and you loo must know it , why -John Tidd Pratt has refused to certify our rules Upon being appointed to office I toH the delegates ihat 1 was strongly opposed to the step , and was only urged to acceptance of it in lie hope that it objj urgeoTO acceptance or at m tne hope that it woold

      , ¦ give confidence to our body . While 1 have \ suffered more than any other man for the acts of ; others , I hare the proud consolation to know , that i during eight years I have succeeded after . good ) watching in keeping within the prescribed limits of the law . I 2- quite agree with our excellent friend , Mr . ; O ^ Higgins , is the belief that we are stronger inside \ than outside of the law ; while the difficulty of ob- ! taining ingress to the sanctuary musfr be now -risible ; to aaL I would ask you , is doe this refusal of Tidd Pratfs a direct and insolent attempt to " keep the people without the pale of tbe Jaw , and I would ask I the people , as one of lieir officers ; unanimously ' elected to see their movejDent carried on under the :

      strictest proTisions of the law , whether they would honour jwd obey me and my -colleagues , if we surrendered our cause ai the shrine of an insolent official ! And if the ABSwer ^ hould be ** No , " I would then ask the people whether or not we are bound to lonourand obey them , if tfcev are intimidated-by the rasi and illegal act of the Certifying Barrister J I have but littl « respect-for the man who , regardless of the interests of those whom he is bound to serve , will snrrender discretion to his own passions or angry feelings- ; and I nave as little respect for Mm who will fell short m zeal and action , when adverse circumstances present themselves . I "have not been honoured with * reply from Mr Tidd Pyatt , to either -of my letters ; and from this feet we must arrive at the conclusion that the nation is to be thrown upon its appeal against the officials decision . I iavn submitted the wbole plan for ihe opinion of Counsel , but bave not yet received it . However , yon may rest assured , that nothing shall be left undone npon my part to have -our case fairly brought "before snch tribunals as the law admits ofz for beaten I am

      determined not to be . Indeed my projected tour for the remainder of tbeanonth may be mainly attributed to tbe position in which Mr . Tidd Pratt hoped to place us , added to my wish to convince tbe people that when I BDdertalce to perform service for them , I mean to do it to the very best of my ability . I addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting last night in the large Theatre of the Rotunda . The place was full in every part , even to the door ; and bo excited were their feelingB Tipon tbe subject « f Mr . Tidd Prates refusal , that I verily believe , had We been ETBDSM *? ariii «* rdfi . ninelj-nino -out of every hundred present would have enrolled themselves as members . The feeling of the meeting as to the prndeneeano * propriety of mixing tbe Laod and tiie . Charter -question was most unanimously , -Bnesorrccally , and enthusiastically expressed . This was -something ; ythes 1 inform you that a paltry clique of Tractarmns had succeeded in creating the leaven of discontent in London ; and that a few of tbe drones actually mastered outside the door for xhe purpose of creating dissension : bnt afrer the usnal imoiint of threats and bJnster , they betook themselves to their biding places . I was always perfect !? aware that the Governaient

      would tolerate a mere political move for the Charier ; bus I lold yen as eariy as 1841 , that the moment practical Charthm was directed to the attainment of ah © Land , teat then the owners and representatives of that commodity would persecute me with oniiririg energy , if I had not seen the absolute necessity ior propounding the Liod question , and if the ablest friends of the people had not fearlessly taken it up , our movement would have long « nce died a natural death- * Tbe increased vitality and spirit which now presents itself ircm aJl parts of the country is a eonseguence of the increased hope of something practical being forced spon the public mind . Onward then , and we conquer . Backward , and we fall . It 13 for you lossy whether or no the legions who bave sever quailed before the Saw ' s oppression , shall now bend beneath the i-fficial ' e lash . Even Btill every Etep shall be legally taken ; so that tyranny shall be baulked of its prey : but every necessary Etep-shall be legally taken .

      THE LAND . ' THE LAND I On Tuesday evening , Mr . O'Connor lectured upon this all-hnportant subject , at the Hall of Science Gate Rotunda ) , Blackfriars Road , to a crowded and enthusiastic audience . Shortly after eight o ' clock , Mr . Pabksb was called to the chair , and he briefly introduced Mr . O'Connor to the meeting , who on rising was greeted with tremendous applause : Mr . O'Coknob commenced by addressing himself to the chair , the working men , and , on that occasion , he trusted he might also add middle-class men . He had come that evening to instruct those who might be ignorant apon a most vital subject , the means how the working cksses could best ensure ** a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . " He had spent an

      attentive political life in minutely scanning every political nostrum which had been brought forward by the Minister of the day , the free traders , and every other class of political economists , with a view of ensuring that result to the working classes , and of guaranteeing to the middle class that they should be a little better fed and clad than their neighbours ; and he had seen them all fade away , without leaving a trace of benefit behind them . After being stigmatised for twenty years as a crotchet-monger , he bad the satisfaction to see the whole of the press of the country , the tractarians , and the magazinewriters , all nibbling , bit by bit , at the Temedy be had propounded . Even the Prime Minister of England , tbe pilot who was to save the ship from the Ehoals

      by which she was surrounded r after having outstrippt d , by means of his tariff , even the Free-traders themselves , seeing that it bad failed , had now become content to play second fiddle to Lord Hatherton ; and , at a public dinner , declared in support of a speech from that nobleman , that the land was now the only remedy . It was a maxim that a man was known by his company . Surely now that he Mr . O'Connor had got into company with Sir Robert Peel , he should no longer be esteemed a demagogue and a crotchet monger . He knew not what reflections they were that had driven the Prime Minister of England to this declaration ; whether it was the qnesiion of Repeal in Ireland , the critical state of afiairs in Spain , the glorious revolution in Greece ,

      or the growing demand for republican institutions over the whole world—( great cheering ) . He knew not whether these things had directed Sir Robert ' s attention to the clodpole's at home ; or ; whether it was that all his other schemes having failed , he bad discovered , that pass what tariff he would , the eontinential powers could interfere to make it uselesB ; and that tbe land at home was the only raw material with which they could not interfere . The Ttmes , the Globe , the Strn , and the best of the whole lot , the Alorning Advertiser , were now turning their attention to tbe land ; a subject by tiie bye , which they [ knew no more of than an Irish pig did of Geometry . ; but this shewed the importance the subject was gradually acquiring .

      { Previous to the chair being taken , a bill had been posted in the room , inquiring why Mr . OXJohnoi did not bring out some plan , and why he did' not show , by a practical experiment that the land was the only remedy . Without that , his lectures would be of no a-railO

      ! In allusion to this , Mr . O'Connor asked where ' was tbe man in the whole -community who bad gone so far as himself in bringing the subject into public . notoriety ? fie was of opinion that he was much ' more nseful in instructing and awakening the atten-. tion of the masses than in settling down on a four ' acre experiment . He had many years of practical . experience to guide hhn , and knew that a public opinion mnsl first be created in its favour ere any practical experiment would succeed . There was : great danger to all plans from a too qaick concuri rence in them , ere they were perfectly established in i the public mind . Tbe great cause of the failure ¦ \ of many systems was that they were adopted by the i middle class and the aristocracy before the demoi eratift mind of the -oountrv h&d been broni » ht

      } to bear upoa them , tie fl * d shown , them I-on many occasions that they could not ee-? parate politics from the Land ; it was the Land \ which furniBhed their opponents with political i power ; it was the monopoly of the Land which caused them to look to foreign nations for their dinner or their breakfast ; and yet tiey wire told by some that they should stick to politics . They had , had enough of theoretical politics ; it was time to . show fcome practical good which the Charter wcnld produce . If they had a Chartist Parliament tomorrow , and the land had never been proponnded , they would go on altering and passing tariffs with

      as little knowledge cf them as other Parliaments ¦ had done ; and all would end in disappointment . Tbe working classes seeing that no general benefit i accrued to them , would prononnce it , like the ! Reform Bill , to be a delusion . In order , then , tfeat the next great change might not be a babble or a , shadow , be had thought it his duty to instruct the public mind relative to that great subject . Tbe great fault of the present Government was not ; what they did do . but because they knew not what ¦ to do . They must be -careful to avoid that error . Hi-! therto the people had looked at the subject in the Uiciw iuc ^ rcv ^ io ijflu iwftra an uic cuuj ^ v * iu » uw

      ' ' bulk ; they had looked into the kaleidescope of ' the Tories , and seen a , variety of squares , octagons , ; &c , highly coloured . They had looked into the ' Whig kaleidescope ; and they liked their Sgores I better ; but they seemed to forget that they had to \ pay the same for each view . The working men now \ wanted to look into a kaleidescope where they ^ ould see some benpfit arising to themselves . Let them look at their situation in London ; had they not greater e ^ ils to complain of than e ven the National Debt ? The Corporation of the City of London had a revenue of . £ 400 , 000 a-year left by charitable ! personB for benevolent purposes . How was this money expended 1 Why , on mac » -bearers , Lord Majors , Punch and Judy shows , &c . Sec . They wanted the Charter , that this mewy might be properly applied to the education of the people , aod tbe establishment of eood institutions . The Corporation also derived £ 300 , ( 00 from church-rates , and £ 260 , 000 from a duty on coals , making in all a revenue of nearly a million a year . The city did not contain ebove cne-fifieenth of tbe population of London ; and yet this one-fifteenth of the population of the metropolis paid to the Corporation a yearlv amonnt eqn-1 to one-thirtith of tbecost of tbe National Debt . Why did they not complain of this wholesale extortion ? because it taken from them in siy uec&use &s laxeu iruiu ujwu tu ? i ?

      was so a mann v > m a . manner : and yet in the midst of thi 3 extravagant expenditure they were told by Pari-cu JBabtist Noel that 500 , 000 persons knew not where to get their break-¦ fast when they rose in the morning , and were living without God or hope in the world . Now leaving God or religion out of the qnestion , as it wai always advisable to do at political meetings , was it justice that Vhfcse men should be left in this destitute state , ¦ while such immense funds were paid to gratify the ; appetites of aldermen and corporations I Suppose that the city contained one-fifteenth , or saj onetenth , of this pauper population ; that would ¦ be 50 . 000 , its million of revenue would rent 1 , 000 , 000 acreB of Land ; this would give twenty acres to each of the 10 , 000 , whereon to provide

      . for bis breakfast and supper , and would save him from liviEg without God and without hope . It was necessary that they should , bear with what might be called the effervescence of Chartism . Mary men knew that a pig made bacon ; but they knew not how to feed the pig to make the bacon . They were aware that the Conference had decided npon mixing up the question of the Land with that of tho Charter . Many who might be called tbe cream of Chartism , who floated and bubbled at the top of the srteam ; and who were only known as bubbles , atked why they interfered with the Land ? Was it not the Land which produced class legislation ? He woald argue the question with any one in that meeting , or M « * sv * -v nlntfn ^ n TT » T # \ TI A t \ X \ HT \ tK T \ TfWft tYmt t ^ iO Phoi 1 . latform in Londonand that the

      Char-! on any p , prove ter meant the Land and the Land the Charter . He was prepared to admit the first principles of political economy , but not the deductions drawn - . from those principles . Ho was prepared to admit that ii one channel of trade was closed , another should be ; opened ; but he was not prepared to admit that their i own channel was the best . He thought that instead of \ ruining the farmers and operatives by insane \ attempts to supply the world-with cheap goods , aj better channel wonld be , to do away with the law of j primogeniture , and open the lands of Kent , Surrey , ) and Sussex to fair competition . Take away from the j Land and the landlords , the exclusive possession of : political power ; and then they need not go toforejgn ! lands for their breakfasts or suppers . Why did not the free traders with their £ 50 , 000 at their backs , direct tiwir attention to the growth of corn at home .

      No ; they would sooner see the land covered with an incrnstation of lava , than open the soil , to the energy of the labourers . The Cobdens , the Thompsons , the Gregg * , &b » k » BW that while the land was looked h from tbe artizan , the great ca pitalist was enjoying light , whilst those of small capital were » in utter darkness . While this system continued , they would always have an empty pabho Exchequer . Sir Robert had not now cash sufficktit to supply the Chelsea pensioners with twelve rouncs of bail cart- j ridge .

      money left to indulge the Queen in a foreign tour . How came this scarcity of funds ? Never was money more plentiful in the money market ; but it was no sign of national prosperity when money was locked up m Savings' Banks ; when capital could not be remuneratively employed ; no direr calamity conld befal a nation than to have a surplus of capital in the market , combined with a surplus of unemployed labour . The Times and the Chronicle were now boasting of the increased prosperity of trade . He believed that Sir Robert Peel would not find it ; that he would be unable , even with his Income Tax , to realize the expenditure ; for no national benefit was ever experienced , unless the benefit was felt by the whole people . He would

      ask the middle classes present , whether they had received any benefits from our increased trade 1 He would put the same question to the working men ; and if these two important classes had received no benefit from increased commerce , and from the many inventions which science had given to the country , they might be called changes ; but they could not be called improvement . Did they suppose that Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell would let them get hold of the Land , or grant them political power ! Not they ; and if they did not , the people could not be benefitted . They were now threatened with a coalition between Feel and Russell . He had been looking for it for the last six yeara . He was perfectly aware tbat when the

      circumstances of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , required the strong arm of power to put down tbe democratic feeling ; that the little abortion Russell , tbe smallest man evor seen for nothing , would not refuse a Tory coalition ; but the question wa 8 , would tbat coalition benefit them ! It , would bring the people into the two classes h « had long predicted , tbe poor oppressed , and the rich oppressor . He warned them that if a motion was brought forward by Peel , and seconded by Russell , that th « down trodden , the degraded , the oppressed people ot England , would speedily put down the allied tyrants The Moniing Advertiser asserted tbat if the genius of Chartism slept , it should now awaken ; n was the only hope of the country . What ! were the

      powerless , the insignificant Chartists , the last hope for the institutions of the country ! By the institutions of the country , he did not mean the Church and State extravagance , the Army and Navy , or the bumbeats of the Horse Guards ; but that every man should receive protection in return for his allegiance Every working man was equally entitled to a retiring pension , as if in the army or navy . How was it that the public mind was so dissatisfied 1 it was owing te the diffusion of thought , to tbe spread of mind . The penny postage , and steam , had greatly assisted in this . We could now shake hands with America , ' and kiss France . The people could no longer be held in check by their Six Aots , or other equally monstrous and iniquitous restrictions .

      We were now able to communicate with other nations , better politicians than ourselves . The King of France was surrounding himself with public opinion is the shape of batteries planted with cannon . Look again at Spain ; though groaning under the tyranny of the brutal and soldier-shooting Narvaez , ruling with despotic power , without even a council to back him , yet the pure mind of Spain had risen above this tyrant , and they were every where " pronouncing " in favour of Republicanism . True , they coupled it with loyalty to Isabella ; they cared not who wielded the executive power , so long as they had republican institutions . Look also at Ireland ; without even a blow being struck , or one anticipated , they were making loop-holes in their forts and garrisons , and

      provisioning them for three years ; and this because the people demanded a legal Governmental change . They were told it was legal to agitate for the Charter . What made it so ! In 1839 it was illegal ; in 1843 it was legal . The law had not changed ; but the persecutions which they bad braved and undergone , like the Scotch Covenanters of old , had taught the Government that Chartism must be made legal . What was Ireland looking for but the Land . Rebecca was contending for the Land ; Peel was for the Land ; Spain was for the Land . Why was not France looking for the L&Qd ! It was because she bad gpfc . it . Mt . O'Conjjor then snowed foe diflKrenee between the holding of land in France and England , and also explained how Paddy was a better agitator than John BulL He also showed the injustice of thelrish Church ,

      and prophesied that in ten years time a State Church in Ireland would be like a fairy tale , a thing which had been . If all other countries were contending { for the Land , was it not time for the people here to contend for it ! Was it not time that they should be taken out of the artificial and placed in the natural market ? As long as tbe labour market was under the control of speculative capitalists , so long would it be impossible to have a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . The working men hid not got capital to purchase the raw materials of other lands , but they had the best of all capital , their arms and sinews , to cultivate the raw material at home . England was said to bo the envy and admiration of the world . In what did it consist i The

      aggregate of prosperity should be combined of the prosperity of the atoms . This was not so . Had the English Parliament any power to control the tariffs of foreign lands . No ; in this she was only a secondary nation . Tbe continental nations could at one fell swoop destroy all her commercial regulations . Surely tLat was not greatness , that was not a condition to excite envy and admiration . If a tenth of the money spent in supporting foreign dynasties and the balance of power abroad , bad been spent in cultivating tbe land of their birth , they would not have had their five hundreds of thousands living without God and hope in the world , He ( Mr , O'C . ) had written more than any other man in the country upon this subject , with the exception , perhaps , of

      Mr . Cobbett , a man with whose views he generally agreed . He Lad not compiled the works of others but had written from practical experiments , having had more experience of spade husbandry than even ilr . Cobbett . Neither Cobden nor others of the League would meet him on that point . They had robbed the working men of £ 50 , 000 , by forcing them to take up two shillings and sixpenny , one shilling , aje , and one penny cards , to swell the fund ; and not content with robbing them of the just reward of their labour ; with grinding tne poor to death , and converting the gristle of the factorj child into gold , they must rob him of his hardearned -wealth under the pretence of voluntary contribution , tbe dirty rascals . These men never talked

      of the burdens on oppressed industry . J'hey boasted of our aehievsmeuts in China—that the British flag floated atPekin . and that they would wear clothes manufactured by British slaves . But they tell you not of the opt-raiives starving in your poar law baatileB . There were only two classes who had no retiring salary—the working classes and the par sons . The working man was compel ' ed to look to his own resources , and tbs parson was uevf r too old or too ugly to work . They heard occasionally of a Judge retiring from age , or an admiral on halfpay , but they never beard of a retiring or half-pay Bishop . If they had one foot in the grave and the other scarce oat , they were not too old or too imbecile to save souls ; though the soldier

      was often too olo to save their bodice , and . must have a retiring pension . Mr . O'Connor then showed that a Government composed of Bright , Cobden , and other Free Traders would be equally as interested in keeping up tbe Army , Navy , and State Church as tbe present rulers . It was for advocating these beneficial changes that he was called a leveiler , a destructive , a very devil . A Croydon Jury only valued his character at twenty shilliugFj and a juror stated that he would keep them locked up a fortnight before he would consent to a verdict carrying costs . Though his character was only valued a * , twenty shillings , he doubted whether Walter woulii get five shillings for his reputation in any Court of the Kingdom ; so that his character

      was worth seventy-five percent , more than Walter ' s ; and Walter was not the worst of his party . Although Chartism had slept , tbe Morning Advertiser need not fear ; they would speedily arouse themselves . It was impossible to quell the spirit of Ireland . Rebecca was a tToublesome customer ; they had the souls of the Scots to quiet , and the bodies of the English ; and the difficulty would be enhanced when Chartism was again in full vigour . The present were critical time 3 . He had no doubt there would be more martyrs in the cause . He would not wish any one to be deceived ; in times of great peril no man should take an active or prominent part in the movement , unless he was prepared to be found in the first rank of danger—be did not mean on the battle field ; but the law ' s danger and reprobation . They would probably

      suspend the Habeus Corpus , and inflict on many the law's vengeance ; but he was prepared to go on , regardless of danger or difficulties . There was something reviving in the thought that the drill serjeant had been abroad ; that the middle classes were more enlightened than formerly ; that when the Ex chequer was empty they were the firec pounced upon ; they might rely upon it that the Queen did not visit France for nothing . The presentposition of Ireland and Spain was a thorn in the side of Peel . Other nations were as alive to the tide of thought as ourselves . Peel would find it difficult to follow in the steps of that boasted statesman ; Billy Pitt . He Mr . O'Connor had made up his mind to the course to be pursued . He should ever reprobate the looking ior foreign interference with our domestic concerns they might rely upon it that , as

      \ u ojtW eases , the arbitrators would run away with the pruse , and leave them the bone . It was impossible that the Government could go on without paying deference to the publio mind ; that mind was prepared for a great change , apd the change would be what the public were prepared to demand . [ Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the revolution in Greece , where * without shedding a drop , of blood , iu the oottrse of one night , the King had been forced , by a uaion of the military and the people , to grant them their constitutional rights . Spain also was pronouncing in favour of liberty ; and even O'Gonnell had declared , at his late meeting , that he would have tb Parliament in College Green , and every man present should have a vote ; ail these things were

      encouragement for them to proceed onward . After referring to the agitation for Repeal , Mr . O'Connor administered a Bevere caatigation to Tidd Prait , the Revising Barrister , for his-conduct relative to tbe enrolment of the Organization . There were now two great Dictators in existence ; one was Louis Philippe on the throne of France ; the other Tidd Pratt ,: of BoHon-streefc , Pie&ditiy . These men thought to rule the world by their sole dictum . The Chartist b ^ ody had drawn up a plan of Organization , as IS £ al or more legal than a lawyer would make it for he would be sure to leave some loop hole in it ; and Tidd Pratt , at York , before receiving the plan , had stated that the Chartists would not get htm to enrol Universal Suffrage ; and when be got the plan , he bad the matchless audacity and the unblushing

      impudence to write on the margin , in bad English , that the plan was illegal . The truth was it was too legal , so legal that he could not pick a hole in it ; and , therefore , could not make any definite objection . If the plan had been a backward step , or likely to prove an abortion , no doubt Pratt , when he consulted the Home Secretary , would have received orders to entol it . Did the Dictator of , Bolton-street think they were made of such stuff as to be shaken by his dictum . He would run him through every Court in the kingdom up to the foot of tha throne before they : should bow to his decision . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had been appointed a responsible officer of the Organization against his own consent ; but he would faithfully perform his

      duties , and he wonld give a practical proof that he did nut wish others to do what he did not practise himself . As soon as the Cards were out he should take one for himself , send a duplicate to Tidd Pratt , and see what he would then say . The people would not , he was sure , be disheartened by the refusal of a Government official ; they were not so easily to be cowed . He had written a letter to Tidd Pratt , which would be published . The voice of their thirty-one delegates assembled at Birmiutfham was not to be annihilated by one man . Mr . O'Connor then stated his intention of taking a tour in tho country , to enrol members , and try titles with the Government ; and concluded , amid much applause , a brilliant and effective lecture .

      Mr . Gverton moved , and Mr . Cowan seconded , a vote of thanks , which Mr . O'Connor briefly acknowledged ; and iu return , moved a vote of thanks to Mr . Parker , the Chairman . Mr . Wheeler seconded the motion , which was unanimously agrt-sd to ; and the meeting dispersed , giving cheers for the Charter , the Organization , O'Connor and the Star , &o . &o .
