      Mr Diub fem-Aiif P rtTidenCe raS Bbedtofavonr our knd project , upon my arrival in London Ilearned thattbe title of ~ ** * "H arr-t = »?? SS 32 ? i « "" -tterforthefirstcation foot jon wiU seethe list of the successful candidates . You will not expect a long letter from me this week , vhile I cannot resist the temptation of telling jon that we , tha directors , confidently anticipate having a ballot for one"hundred members during the

      Whitsuntide holidays . OntbeSthofMaywereceivepossession of ourfirstpurcnase these , weretheconditions ; then \ re 1 go to work and , without delay , arrangements will be 1 made for the reception of the successful candidates . I Xou will see that our first colon ; consists of English , Irish , Scotch , andFrenchmen , and , from the number 1 of agricultural labourers that have drawn prizes , I don't think a more judicious selection could have been made , even if fitness had constituted the qualification . J think jon are entitled to the opinion of every good man upon this your noble , your national undertaking , and therefore , as I believe there are none in whomyou have more confidence , or for whom you have a greater { respect , than for Mr . O'Higgins , I here present you . with a paragraph f rom a letter received from him this morning ( Thursday ) .

      In my opinion , your land plan deserves the unqualified support of eTery honest man . It appears to me to be not only practicable bnt inimitable . The little holdings , or houses and lands , aie , as I understand i t , to be bona pie estates , andif so nothing can surpass the plan . The nonse and land held in perpetuity at a small rent for the benefit ot the little community , still going on increasing into a large fund to buy more land . Once you get the first _ colony settled yon can accomplish anything . I think that opinion will be very satisfactory to the members of the Land Society as members , and , now I stall furnish them with an extract of a political character which , will also have its legitimate weight . Inspeakingofthemode of electing the Executive , Mr . O'Higgins says ,

      I am glad to see , after all the battles on the subject , that the Chartists are beginning to see the propriety of the Convention electing the Executive committee . 1 fought hard for this in the Convention at Manchester . In fact ; I drew np the clause in committee , and my friend , Mr . StaUwood , censored me severely for having done so . If time permitted this week , I owe a compliment to the City Chartists , which I would have assuredly paid them , for the justice that they have done to my foresight , and the manliness with which ihey confess their former error and adopt my censured policy . In ISii I was the delegate of that body , and l ^ d a severe vote of censure passed upon me by them for having voted for the election of the Executive by the Convention . But mark how a little reflection

      will persuade honest men of their follies . On Saturday last the Northern Star informed ms that those Tery Chartists who unanimously censured me inlSii unanimously adopted the same policy in 1846 . For the present , I can only express my thanks for the conversion ; they have been the loudest in denouncing man worshippers and their hist magnanimous step convinces me that they never will become tools , as it is even better and less criminal to worship a good man than to be the slavish tool of a cunning man . I trust that all Chartist bodies will act with the same heroic magnanimity , and I beg to assuremy friends , that the balm of their conversion more than heels the poke with which the snrrenderer of any angle opinion is threatened .

      I now beg to call your attention to the question of the Irish Coercion Bill ; of the certainty of war with America ; of the shaken state of English parties , and the consequent necessity of a better undeistsndins among the Chartist body . I would Implore of you—you , the veritable working men—the fustian jackets , blistered hands , and unshorn chins , to arrest every attempt at dissension in the outset ; to nip the hope of eTery crotchetmenger ; to blast the ambition of those who would achieve power to destrov as , by making Chartism more respectable

      I cannot openly deal with them while they remain within their narrow shells . I cannot prevent . their slime spreading a little , but when they presume they have strength enough to come forth fiom their shells , then we shall know how to deal with them . Men who are systematically captious , constitutionally irritable , and naturally authoritative , are sot likely to be satisfied with the plodding action of their consistent fellows . Xovelty i 3 their cry ; better manage ment is their object ; better men—of which they are the very best—is their only aim .

      I cannot conclude withont tendering my warmest thanks to the people of Manchester and of Oldbam , and the delegates from several parts of England , for their kind reception during the Easter-week , nor shall I hastily forget THE EASTER-WEEK AT MANCHESTER , the perusal of which I hope will give satisfaction to the working classes generally . You will see by the form in which the subscription list is published , that 2 To . 1 section is closed , and section No . 2 is now opened . The two names which stand at the head of that section paid up their full shares while the

      ballot was proceeding . And now I beg that it may be distinctly understood that there is no possible reason why section No . 2 may not progress as speedily and as successfully as No . 1 . Indeed , it does not at all follow that section No . 2 may not get in advance of No . 1 ; it all depends upon the contributions Here follows a list of the successful candidates , which is not as complete as it ought to be . I gave it to the Secretary at Manchester , with sixty names , for the two acre lot ; twenty-six names for the four acre lot ; and twelve names for the three acre lot Now , as 18 , 19 , and 20 , of the two acre lot may have

      a very good chance of three refusing the present location , they would like to see their names , so , perhaps , with U and 15 of the four acre lot , and with 6 and 7 of the three acre lot . The omission is not mine , however ; I gave the list to the Secretary com plete , with the understanding that I was to receive them as complete for publication , but I have . only received the following .

      EASTER WEEK IN MANCHESTER . For many yeara the professors of political economy have waged deadly war against the amusements of the working classes . There is scarcely a single poor privilege that has not been destroyed , a single little right that has not been invaded . There has been a long struggle between hypocritical saints and good Christians for the appropriation jto . their own purposes of the few remaining hours that can be stolen T 7 . ACTT 7 W VXnnriT TV UivniircTt'l ? ¦

      from toil . The economists cry work , the saints cry work and pray , while good Christians cry work , pray , and play in " proper season . It is very difficult to abstain from the error of falling into extremes , aud it is the more refreshing when we find an oppressed class like the labourers of England resolved upon going on progressively , without touching upon the shoals of hypocrisy upon'the one hand and immorality upon the other . It is no easy task to induce an enslaved race to devote almost the only holiday that

      THE LAW HAS LEFT THEM to the advancement of principles which promise them better days instead of devoting it to dissipation or idle enjoyment . ; if the scoffer wants materials for exhibiting the working classes in an inferior point of view , he goes to Manchester and the surrounding manufacturing districts , and there , without enquiring into the causes , he finds what he thinks justifies him in branding the working classes , not as willing slaves , but as irreclaimable infidels , savages and barbarians . He never reflects that the gin palace , the brothel , and the gaming house are the recruiting offices of the government , the church ,

      and the capitalists . He never considers that in order to seduee the neglected , the thoughtless , and the unprotected from those dens of misery , disappointment and ruin , that it is necessary to furnish to them objects at the same time of virtuous excitement and hope . We have always contended that under the present system there is no inducement to the slave Bhut out of the market of competition to become thrifty , no reward offered for meritorious distinction , no premium for prudent economy , but that on the other hand there is strong inducement , temptation and invitation to lead a loose , reckless and immoral life .

      Firstly , it REPLENISHES OUR EXCHEQUER . Secondly , IT MAKES MEN SLAVES and fits them for the iron rule of tyranny . We have laboured hard and not unsuccessfully to open a safe port for all who are prepared to abandoitfheir haunts of dissipation and practices of vice , and the many weather-beaten mariners of all ages who have flocked to our harbour of promise for safety and comfort proves that we have not laboured in vainproves that in the syatem-made vicious there yet remains a spark of virtue , that , if properly fanned ,

      may be kindled into a name of generous thought and moral action—in short as we have often said , men are born with propensities that may be nourished into virtues or thwarted into vices according to the training , and while the depravity and necessities of the grudging , the grasping and the speculating have gone far to thwart all feelings into vice , it has been our study to nourish them into virtues . With bo much preface and using our editorial licence to consider Good FridajjB a portion of theEaaterlwlidays , we shall now chronicle the proceedings of . the RECLAIMED , and we commence at the foundation .

      GOOD FRIDAY . This mill holiday , usually and naturally devoted by the slaves to some little Cuuntry excursion , was this year celebrated by layii . g tht foundatiun-itouo of a People ' * Hall ; and , although some who owa their ail to the working classes , who have courted them in their strength and pledged vows of eternal fidelity ' to their cause , u « e their poor endeavour to frustrate their noble purpose , jet did this unexpected unprovoked opposition but add nerve to their resolution .

      THE PaOCESSION was to have started at ten s ' clock , bnt by the order of a sanctimonious hypocrite , who Iap 3 up infants' sweat , and revels luxuriouily on human luffering , backed by the land offices of a professing friend , the proceedings were postponed till after service—till after pious flocks had joined with PAD ) PARSONS in praying that God might preserve the fruits of the earth to THEIR KINDLY USB , so that in due time THEY may enjoy them . Howerer , thanks to the indomitable courage o ( the working classes the petty tyranny of the open foe and the thoughtlessnesi , we Bill give it no worse distinction , of the professing friend , was foiled . The people met in thousands , yea in TENS OF THOUSANDS , and proceeded in

      LARGER NUMBERS , with better hearts / and more firm resolution than we have seen exhibited within the last five years in Manchester . If we were inclined to exaggerate we are subjected to too much criticism to 2 iop « to use it BuccessmUy , and , therefore , as all who saw , at well as those who joined , will have the power of judging for themselves we need make no boast of our display to them , while to those who did not witness the gioriouti exhibition of DEAD CHARTISM , but who know something of Manchester , wo need only observe , that from tht Carpenters' Hall , along the straight line of streets , as fai as the eye could reach to the Oxford-road , was one astounding dense mass of working men . At half-pasi one Mr . O'Connor arrived at Carpenters' Hall , and on

      stepping into an open carriage-and-four was loudlj cheered by themultitude . The procession then started , the bands playing merry tunes , aud by the time it arrived at Great Ancoat-street , the uridest street in Manchester , equal in width to four wide streets , the entire length was filled with one denBemass , which continued to increase by an accesion of tributary streams until it reached Heyrod-itreet , Ancoats , where the foundation-stone was to be laid : there a platform was erected in an enclosure to which the committee and speakers were admitted , and outside the proper machinery was erected for laying the foundation-stone . Mr . Wheeler , the president of the Building Society , took the chair by virtue of his office , and , after reading thep lacard announcing theproceedings , be introduced Mr . O'Connor to addregB the assemblage previously to laying the foundation-stone . This

      gentleman , who was received with thunders of applause , accompanied with " Down with the Irish Coercion BUI , " after commenting upon the indispensable- necessity of the people hewn * Halls of their own to meet in as the only means of organising and exhibiting thrir morul power and growth of knowledge , observed upon the fact , that wherever the people had buildings of their own there the cause of Chartism was sure to progress , and instanced the state of Manchester as proof , while upon the other hand , it had been often his fate , and the fate of others , to visit towns in the hope of procuring a place of meeting , and yet being consigned to disappointment . He observed , that in passing over the bloodstained ground of Peterloo that day every mau must have ken struck with the unholy trinity of buildings that presented themselves to the survivors of 1619 . Tfiere they saw , bound up together , as if emblematical of the

      present system , a CHURCH , a THEATRE , and a SLAUGHTER-HOUSE ( aUndingto theFree Tradeflall ) . He would recemmeud a subject to the consideration ol tlie respective performers—to the players , " William Tell ^ to the preachers , ' « Whoso sheddcth man ' s blood by maa also shall his blood be shed ; " and to the capitalists , "Labour is the source of all wealth , and is the only legitimate source of power . " ( Great cheering . ) He then turned to the Irish Coercion Bill , and made his

      hearers , especiall y his own countrymen ( thousands of whom were present ) , jump again at his recital of Irish wrongs , and hishearty denunciation of the " base , bloody , and brutal bill . * He stigmatised every man who with , held his signature from the national petition as a voluntary participator in every act of oppression that was perpetrated underthemonster—the UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEVIL—and after a speech of considerable length he retiied , amid reiterated cheers , when the meeting wasaddreBsedby

      Wilmam Dixow . who said , my friendg . m shew you the indispensable necessity of bnildings such as that we are this day assembled to lay the foundation-stone of . We are told that we have grievances , as Englishmen we have a right to discuss them—a very fine theory , but let them see how it was in practice .

Well , we were not long ttere when an official , ( Mr . Hulton ) son of of the

      . , necessary arrangements were made , Mr . O'Connor proceeded to lay the foundation stone , the centre of which was hollowed out and in which was deposited , in a bottle , portraits of Mr . Duncomhe Mr Roberts , and Mr . O'Connor ; a document signed by the trustees and directors of the Hall , and sereral other mementos of Chartism ana its growth . The hollow was covered with a . flag bedded in cement , and when the cperation was performed the assembled thousands made the air ring again with proud acclamation of their own power if THEY WERE ONLY UNITED , and the meeting peacefull y and cheerfull y separated . We should have observed that , besides Mr . O'Connor ' s carnage , there were several very haHdsome open carriages m the procession , each bearing its frlr proportiou of Chartist company . At five , the evening festivity commenced with

      A TEA PARTY . in the Carpenters' Hall , while the ceremony of drinking tea lasted for two hours and a half , the company being so numerous that four different sets where obliged to be accommodated . At seifen o ' clock , Mr . Roberts and Mr . O'Connor entered the hall , accompanied by the committee , and were loudly cheered in their progress to the platform . This large gathering in the evening conferred another honour upon dead Chartism , as . it was the largest thing of the kind that has been seen in Manchester for many years . Nothing could surpass the arrangements made by the stewards . When the cm mony of tea drinking was over ,

      Messrs . Clark , M'Gratn , Roberts , and O'Conner , severally addressed the audience upon the most interesting topics of the day , and as a proof that the girls of England are now beginning to take a lively interest in the cause ' of Chartism , we feel pleasure in noticing the fact that although the speaking was to be succeeded by a ball , yet there was none of that impatience which used formerly to ba manifested by the fair portion of tha audience at all exhibited , but , on the contrary , the ladies listened with attention , applauded with enthusiasm , and bided THEIR TIME withont impatience . When the speakisg was concluded

      A BALL opened , and we could only wish that some of those who arrogate manner , decorum , and even fashion , to themselves , hail witnessed this creditable display of working class enjoyment . After the parties had marched round the hall for some time , we were cheered with a mtrry country dance ; after which a son of Mr . Whitaker , a youth about eleven years of age , danced a hornpipe , to the great amusement of the . company . Then came the first set of quadrilles , and after that Mr . TVhitalter's son , and a daughter about two years younger , danced the Polka in admirable style , which was rewarded with hearty plaudits and no small amount of more substantial satisfaction liberally bestowed upon the children . We then took our leave and are informedtf » t the proceedings were continued most credittMy till an early hour in the morning , when the parties mournfully substituted the slaves ' attire for their gay ball dresses , and returned to the work of BLOOD COINING FOR MAMMON .

      In justice to the Manchester Examiner we here insert its comparatively fair report of the proceedings of the dayfair as compared with the beastly Guardian .

      [ From the Manchester Examiner . ) Tire People ' s Hall . —The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of a new building , to be denominated ' The People ' * Hall , " was performed yesterday afternoon by Mr , F . O'Connor . The hall is to be erected in Heyrodstreet , Ancoats , aad the funds have been raised in shares amongst the Chartists , for whose accommodation the structure is intended . The day was one of rejoicing and festivity amongst the Chartists . A large number of people walktd in procession to the site ; and the carriage of Mr . Feargus O'Connor , drawn by four horses , formed a prominent feature in the midst of theassemblagc . The fact of th « day being a gem-ral holiday , and the weather being remarkably fine , would account for the presence of a great multitude of persons , who were animated by no

      other feeling than that of curiocity . The stone-laying took place about two o ' clock . We are informed that tht ! Rev . Mr . Scholefield is one of the principal shareholders , and a director in the undertaking , and that he was expected to be present , bat that for someunexplained reason he absented himself . Placards were on Thursday posted on the walls of the town , in which therevcrendgeHtleman distinctly stated that he had never intimated his inten . tion of being present at the proceedings , aHd that his name had been used not only without his sanction , but in direct opposition to his wishes . In-the evening a . teaparty , in celebration of the event , took place in the Carpenters' HaU , Garrett Road . The admissiou to this festive party was—to the platform Is . Gd . and to the body of the room one shilling . The number of persons who

      attended was so large that three different sets had to sit dotvntotea . Mr . Abbott presided . About seven o ' clock Mr . Fearius O'Connor arrived , and took his seat on the platform . After tea , persons were admitted iuto the room on the payment of fid . each . The assemblage , which consisted of f ersons of both sexes , was addressed by the Chairman , Mr . dark , Mr . M'Grath , Mr . Roberts , solicitor , and Mr . Feargus O'Connor . Mr . Roberts only said a few words . Mr . O'Connor , however , delivered an address of considerable length . His principal topic wns the land scheme , on the importance of which he dilated at large . It'bad been predicted , he said , that the plan would be a failure ; but some persons had admitted that in about ten years subscriptions to the extent of £ 5000 might be got together . What , however , was the fact ?

      The plan had only been before the public ten months , and there was now in the bank a sum of between £ 7 , 000 and £ 8 , 000 . Mr . O'Connor announced that en Moudaynext there was to be a ballot for the members who were to be located on the estate which he had just purchased near London . In the course of his speech he remarked that a new election was almost certain to take place very shortly , and lie expressed a hope that men would be returned to Parliament who would really represent thp feelings and opinions of the people . The departure from ofibe of Sir R . Peel would , he said , produce a gap much too large for little Lord John Russell to fill , even tliougli his rotundity were eked out by the addition of Mr . Cohden . The speaking closed at nine , after which the compauy amused themselves by dancing .

      The beastly Guardian , ever true to its beastly avocation of under-valuing the exertions of the working classes , has so justly entitled itself to the enviable distinction of

      GREAT LIAR OF THE PRESS , ( thus having acquired nationally what the Lctds Mercury could but achieve sectionally ) that we should have abstained from comment upon its latest fabrication had we not another object in view—the object of telling the working classes that the Manchester Examiner is in every possible way superior to the Manchester Guardian . The original matter is not to be compared , the selections are made with more taste , the arrangement is more judicious , snd the tone , though not at all coming up to our mark , is divested of that foolish acrimony that has ever characterised the writings of the

      GREAT LIAR OF THE PRESS . One circumstance is worth notice . After the proceedings were all over , and when the dancing was fur advanced , two reporters actually came upon the platform and asked for a description of the day ' s procsedings . One had the i nsolence to appeal to us and asked what numbers might have been in the procession ! We answered " thirty , or , perhaps , from thirty to ^ fifty . " " You mean thousand * . " " No , thirty to fifty men , women , and children ; I give you what will suit the Manchester Guardian . " TSow , it is a fact , that those scribblers had learned that the thing was ofsuch magnitude that it could not be passed over without notice , and they accordingly sent their feathered tribe in search of rumour . We really think that the Man . Chester Chartists might make the Examiner serviceable to their cause by merely reporting their proceedings ; a step that would compel " THE GREAT LIAR OF THE PHESS" to waddle a little faster .

      SUNDAY . On Sunday morning , at half-past ten o'clock , Mr . O'Connor arrived at Oldham to address , the working classes in their own Hall , and . as he observed , he had the most moral , the most religious , the most orderly , useful , respectful , and largest congregation of any parson that was then preaching atOldham . He addressed his audience for 4 hours and 20 minutes in a speech upon various subjects interesting to the working classes at the present time , which gave unbounded satisfaction and was only interrupted by frequent bursts of applause . He spoke of the present election , of the tactics and prospects of parties , of the duties of the working classes , of the state of Ireland and the bounden duty of the English OhartiBts to petition against , and in every way resist the passing of , the Coercion Act . After the Chairman had read the article from the Star entitled Ireland , he read the petition among thunders of applause , and sultsequentl y he read the trial of Darby Houseless amid expreBBionB of the most tbrillini !

      horror . We must confess that the clear , chaste , nnd emphatic manner in which the Chairman read thost several articles would do honour to men in the higher ranks of life . In speaking of tho approaching election for Oldham , Mr . O'Connor observed that he would not dictate to men capable of judging for themselves , the manner in which they should use a sacred trust . He would merely base the pretensions of their chosen candidates upon their own pro per merits , and say , you have shewn wisdom to prefer a townsman to a stranger . You have shewn prudence in s » lecting one , who upon all questions of local taxation will be guided by local requirements and properly influenced by local vigilant popular controul , in preference to a stranger who cares not whether you grope your way through the mud in the darkness of night to your miserable hovels , while taxes wrung from you , light others over the fairway to their princely mansions . You have shewn prutSence in adoptingjhe townsman , who , after his sessioaal labours , will re-

      Untitled Article

      turn to hU constituents and receive their smiles as a reward jtfor virtue , or their frown 6 as a punishment fov vice , in preference to the stranger who becomes but a unit merged in the large class of oppressors , nnd , relying for distinction upon tho approval of men equally corrupt , equally influenced , and equally indifferent ns himself . You have shewn wisdom in selecting * man who may preside over your councils , enlighten you with his knowledge , defend you by his eloquence , and protect you by his influence . If you } laVe a member , have something typical of your order , and prophetic of your ultimate triumph ; if you have a member have one who will not . be ashamed to write his name James Hatliday , M . P ., for Oldham and Millwri ght—( thunders of applause)—rather than one who writes minister or barrister-at-law after his name . . __ ... . . _ ... . . ... ..

      Upon the whole , those who heard Mr . O'Connor ' s speech on Sunday last have unhesitatingly declared that instead of tiring and growing old he is mending and becoming new . it would be impossible to describe the effect that his diversified lecture had upon his audience ann which was rewarded b y a subscription of £ 1 0 s . for the widow Seery— £ 2 5 s . was the sum collected and the other shilling was kindly given by the committee to the person who drove Mr . O'Connor to pay the turnpikes , which , however , he has added to the fund , being resolved to be able to say that the Churtists never even paid toll for him .

      MANCHESTER . At half-past two , Mr . O'Connor arrived at Manchester and attended a members ' meeting of the Chartist body at Carpenters' Ilall , when several matters that will be made known through the proper channel were anxiou 3 ly and aldy discussed with the best possible temper and without the slightest feeling of irritation . The question as to the mode of electing the Executive occupied a considerable time —; the meeting was numerous , and a great majority of the speakers spoke decidedly in favour of the Executive being elected by tha Convention .

      Mr . Jaues Leach recited numerous instances of fraud and roguery that were practised at Bilston , North Lancashire , and elsewhere , under the old system of election , and concluded by faying , if you want to take the movement out of Chartist hands , you cannot do it more effectually than by encouraging the old system of voting in the localities . At half-past three o ' clock , the discussion was still proceeding , when the directors of the Land Society and the delegates from Lancashire were summoned to attend the delegate meeting . Here , also , several questions of momentous importance , connected with theland movement , were discussed in the most ealm and friendl y manner ; the propriety of establishing | a tract society in

      Lancashire for the purpose of diffusing useful agricultural knowledge seemed to meet with general approbation , and was unanimously adopted by the delegates . The question of applying the expense fund to the estu . blishmentofa bank of loan was also discussed at consi . derable length , and was adjourned to another day —the majority considering that the first fruits were due to the first occupants , and that the sum was much too trifling to embark in so extensive a speculation . Mr . O'Connor taking upon himself the censure that was deserved for placing the expense fund ( of which he is the treasurer ) to the account of theland fund receiving iuterest , instead of retaining it in his own possession without paying any interest .

      CHARTIST EXECUTIVE AND LAND DIRECTORS . The question of separating these two offices was introduced by Mr . Donavan and seconded by Mr , Leach . Mr . Donovan urged as a reason for the separation of Land and Charter , that it was impossible for one bod y te perform the double duties . He said , as proof , they had tlie admission of the officers themselves—that the Council had written to theExecutivo to London to come and agitate the Charter , and the answer they received was that they were too much occupied with theland subject . They then subsequently wrote and asked them to com « and agitate the land question , and they replied that they were too much engaged with the political question , so that the delegates would observe that they had no security for the proper performance of either duty as long as the offices were incorporated , and proposed that in future they should be separated .

      Mr . Leacu seconded the proposal , and said that the laud project had now become so great a giant , and was likely to become still greater , that to insure justice being done to it , it would require the undivided attention of the dircetors . That the two bodies could not prosper together ; that as long as the offices where united , there was no security for the funds of the association , for if there was a political struggle to-morrow , and if the directors in their capacity of an Executive should take part in that political struggle , the government would have a double interest in strangling both associations together , which they could do by throwing our directory , not as directors , but as the Chartist Executive , into gaol , and every man knew how anxious government always was to pounce upon the funds of an association . He thought for liimselt that the two bodieB and the two movements would each gain much by a separation while there was no danger of any damage , aud for these reasons he would support the motion of Mr , Donavan . '

      Mr . O'Connor Baid , in rising to speak upon this apparently harmless motion , I cannot avoid attaching to it that paramount importance which in the end will be visible to every man . We hare discussed important questions at our several delegate meetings , in our several conferences , and in our several conventions , but not one separately or all unitedly , at all approaching the present motion in immediate consequence and ulterior results . ( hear , hear . ) I greatly admire the apparently unimportant tone in which it has been introduced ,- but still I ounnot divest myself of the belief that sufficient previous con . sideration has not been given to the subject . Not , Mr . Chairman , that I would be prevented from repl ying to the motion if the delegates here assembled had been previously instructed upon the subject , yit , I deem it mv

      duty to ask them individually , if they have received any such instructions from their respective constituents . The question being put , and being answered with one exception , that they had received no such instruction ; Mr . O'Connor Baid , nevertheless I shall proceed , and if my brother directors feel as I do , they will be animated with a double interest—thai of individual feeling and corporate duty . The individual feeling that they would rather be released from a portion of their labours , and the corporate duty which teaches them not to shrink from any amouut of trouble or responsibility that the double office may impose upon them . Now , I shall first apply myself to Mr . Donovan ' s observations , and I think I shall be able to strengthen the claim that he would weaken . He says that application was made to the

      Executive to come ^ and agitate the political principle , and the answer was that they were too much occupied with the land question ; again , that they were applied to , to come and agitate the land question , and the answer was that they were too much occupied with the political question . Now , let us see how circamstanees stood at those various times . They were applied to to agitate the political question , while they were ordered by the same parties to remain in London to procure the enrolment of the rules of the Land Society . They were then applied to , to come and agitate the land question , when it was known to the world that their duties were required in London on behalf of FroBt , William ? , and Jones—( hear , hear)—and well they discharged them . From the termination of that discussion

      they have been engaged in perfecting the necessary preliminary arrngemente for holding a Chartist Conference , and for taking the first ballot for the first section of the Laud Society . Now , I will not for a moment presume that these unseasonable applications were intended to embarrass , while the various compliances were impossible . I shall now reply to the observations of Mr . Leach . He says that ihe two bodies cannot continue united with advantage to either , I tell him that they cannot be separated without certain death to both . ( Hear , hear . ) I tell him that the ligaments that bind them are like the living links that unite the Siameso Twinsif you cut them in the hope of making either stronger you inevitably destroy both ; but when the proposition is m » de it naturall y compels those who have filled the

      double office to refer to the discbarge of their duty in their double capacity . Well , then , let us take that view . In 1842 Chartism became paralysed , it remained so till 1845 , when the warm breath of the land breathed new life into its nostrils , nnd gave it new strength nnd vigour . In 1843 the Executive , now also the directors , were appointed to office , to take tho command of a movement that was shattered by lecal dissension , disturbed by secret letter writing , and poisoned by itinerating Ice turers , who looked to their wages and not to our princlpleB . ( Hear , hear . ) The Executivehas trampled upon this trinity of evils , it haR destroyed contention , smothered treachery , and strangled deceit , without creating a single feud itself . It did this while the movement wan comparatively dead ; it did this without wages ; it did this without the bupport of many who now marvel at the extraordinary strength we have given to the cause , and would now hazard a relapse into those jealous , dungerouE

      times , which must be a consequence of having an agitating body who would be obliged to depend upon the mere aystem of perambulating lecturing and enthusiastic speeches as a means of livelihood . ( Hear , hear . ) If you want to killChartism appoint officers you cannot pay . Mr . Loach has admitted that the oldest , tho best , the staunchvst : members of the Chartist Association are now members in the Land Society , Think you that those meu will object as members of the Laud Society to pay their fair ' share for the support of tho political society . Or upon the contrary , must you not be convinced that the very step proposed is tha very one of all others to hold you , and me , and all of us up to scorn , derision , and contempt . Perhaps you were not aware that the first handle made of such a fatal proceeding would bo the exultation by the enemy that after all it was found thntClIAHTISM WAS NOT LANDISM— ( hear , hear ) , —while I ' m- myself I defy you to separate them . Mr , Leach has told you that government , in the event of a political agitation ,

      mar our might Land project by seizing upon our funds this is too ridiculous toadmit of comment , he might just us well suppose that if they prosecuted the League -they could take their funds . The director have nothing to do with the funds , their persons do not represent the funds , and if they were all sentenced to bo hung to-morrow it would not have the slightest effect upon the funds ; all that you would have to do would bs to appoint netv directors , while at the same time , I thank Mr . Leach for doing the Exoeutive the justice to believe that when the struggle does come the directors will be in the front of the battle . ( Ucar , hear . ) Gentlemen , much as I love the infant , I love the heir better ; mu 6 h as I hope from the land , I hope more from the Charter , and for myself I tall you unhesitatingly , that if I am called upon to make my election between the guardianship of the infant and the guardianship of the eldest child , I will leave the infant to its fate , and throw my protection around ils eldest

      brother . ( Cheers . ) But , gentlemen , I believe that both I and my brother directors can do ample justice to the whole Chartist family , and when we find ourselves unequal to that tank we will be the first to apply for aid . Of course you will tolerate the expression of warm feelings upon this subject , and for this simple reason , because if your present officers were consenting parties to this dangerous experiment they would bis justly taunted with ignorance of tlnse results which must be the inevitable consequence of two bodies whom circumstances , let them watch and guard as they will , would naturally bring into collision . The Executive have done their . duty—the country has not , and when the country is prepared to act with the same vigour as their directing body , then we shall be aMc to shew them ourselves w ? ierc we are weal ;) and to carry out your political views and social objects with more satisfaction to you and more credit to ourselves . I would much rather see the election of an

      Executive entail also the appointment of the directorsthat is , that the election should be for an Exoeutive , and that the lesser honour should merge in the greater dignity . In conclusion , gentlemen , I beg of you to bear in mind that you imposed the office upon us when the plea for saddling U 6 with the double burthen was the lingering state of Chartism , and now the cause assigned fer sevoringthem is , that we have raised Chartism to that preeminence requiring an exclusive management of its own ( Cheers . ) Mr . Leach , with the consent of Mr . Donavan , then moved for leave to withdraw the motion , in order to afford time for the delegates to receive the instructions of their several constituencies upon the su ject and it being past six o ' clock , and as Mr . O'Connor had to be in the Hall at seven , he moved that leave be granted to him to eat bis dinner . ( Laughter . ) \

      MEETING IN . THE CARPENTERS' HALL . Before the delegates separated , the public began to assemble in the Hall , and by seven o ' clock , fl-Jien Mr . O'Connor arrived , the sanctified edifice presented an awfully-astounding appearance . Mr . Abbott , the secretary of the Miles Platton Association , who jumped out of the gallery of the Hall of Science when Mr . O'Connor was attacked there by the League , presided , as on Friday evening at the teaparty , and upon both occasions gave unmixed

      satisfaction by his very praiseworthy conduct as chairman . Mr . Clark was first announced , aud gave a most lucid , and indeed an eloquent , sketch of the progress of Chartism since it was coupled with the land movement . He illustrated the capabilities of the soil from many proofs that he had seen himself , and went extensively into the probable results of the experiment . He showed familiarly and feelingly the striking difference between a factory operative slaving for auother , and an agricultural labourer working for himself . When he had concluded

      Mr . O'Connor was announced , and was received with three stunning cheers , and one cheer more . He said that they saw before them that night the proudest man that ever stood upon a public platform —they saw a peaceful general addressing his peaceful soldiers upon the eve of a peaceful struggle , in which no blood would be shed ; but a struggle that would result in the prolongation of life , in the insurance of peace and the permanency of comfort . ( Loud cheers . ) Oh , how long he himself had struggled to bring : the English mind even to hear a proposition for England ' s regeneration ; when he came ami . n ^ st them they had heard of wheat , of bread , of bliss , of house , of home , of comfort , but no one told them that theland of their own soil alone cjuld produce these

      several blessings . ( Cheers . ) But he was straying . His mind was so full of anticipation that he " had forgotten to announce the order of his discourse . lie would address them upon four topics—firstly , Ireland —the Irish and the bloody Coercion Bill . Secondly , Chartism as it wan , Chartism as it is , | and Chartism as it would be . Thirdly , the prospects of his numerous family—the land members —( tremendous cheering)—and fourthly , the unnatural war , the free-trade war , now being waged by the masters of Lancashire against those engaged in the building trade , and he would then deal a heavy blow at the factious , dissatisfied and discontented , who would destroy confidence by affecting to doubt his integrity . ( Cheers . ) Yes , he would murder them with honesty . He would produce the Star of last Saturday with his account of the land-fund as the deputy treasurer , and the bank

      bookol the treasurer —( great cheering)—and when compared , every item would be found to correspond in date and amount as stated in the several accounts of the Star . This was the way to live down prejudice . This was the way to inspire confidence . This was the way to strangle disaffection , nnd to annihilate slander . He then appealed to the' aiidicnee on behalf of Ireland ; lie explained the provisions of the Coercion Bill , the miseries that he had witnessed and heard of . under the clearance system . He showed that uncertainty of tenure was th ' e natural parent of suspicion , idleness , and crime , which were not characteristicsof tke Irish people , but were consequences of oppression and misrule . He related several anecdotes of scenes and trials that he himself had witnessed , and wound up a touching tale of woe by an exciting appeal to his audience to arrest liceased murder by signing a petition against the Irish

      LANDLORDS TYRANNY PRESERVATION BILL . After which , Mr . Claiik read the petition to the House of Commons , which was followed by a unanimous cheer , and subsequently the trial of Darby Houseless , which was followed by as unanimous a yell of execration . Mr . O'Connor then proceeded—1 see faces , hundreds of faces here , that remind me of my ; country . ( Loud cheers from the Irish . ) They have sought my life . but I forgive them ; the conductors of their servile ' press have denounced me but I pity the hirelings and laugh their littleness to scorn . I have stood up for my country ' s rights , while the creatures don't know what the term means ; and while 1 have been

      copiously assailed , and while I had good reason to feel sore and irritated , none will dare to say that a sentence or word derogatory to my country , my countrymen ' s rights , or their religion , has ever escaped my lips , or flowed from my pen . ( Cheers , and Never . ) No , never ; but upon the contrary , I have ever told the English people that if I could prevent it they should never have their rights a single day before Irishmen had their ' s . ( Cheers . ) Are my countrymen yet prepared to hear the truth ; are they yet in a state of mind to believe that £ 128 , 060 expended in six years might have been applied to regeneration . ( Loud cheers , and That ' s it . ) Do they know that the Irish patriotic staff have divided amongst them that amount within that * period ? And do thev know

      that if I had had that Bum at my disposal that I would by this time have located a million of Irishmen upon their own land usurped by the Saxons , and that that would be a better petitioning body , with the unbranded freeman ' s musket in their hand than seven millions of ^ slaves with one hundred and twenty thousand tokens of their folly in their j uggler ' s pockets . ( Tremendous cheering . ) There may be some here as well as myself who heard Mr . O'Connell at White Conduit House , declare that if he had a petition from FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND FIGHTING MEN , humbly stating their grievances , that their prayer for their redress might be very short . ( Loud cheers , and cries of I did , 1 did . ) This was the first introduction of physical force in England ,

      which has cost me and others so much pain , persecution and trouble to resist . ( Cheers . ) Much of my time has been spent in eradicatiug-the evil teaching of others , while they have actually used obedience to their foolish instructions as arguments against the principles we contend for , but in spite of all , chartism , to which I will now refer , has lived in defiance of their treacherous folly , in defiance of open opposition , in defiance of covert malignity . See what Chartism was when the law was strained against it , when it was struggling against a combination of elements that were irreconcileable excopt for its overthrow , see what it now is , when it defies persecution , and boldly affirms through me that it

      alone is big enough , and powerful enough , to stop the next hole that faction makes in the constitution . ( Cheers . ) We know that there are many hard hearted souls who would select the weakness of individuals in a great national movement as matter sufficient to damn a great cause ; but we also know , ( which charms us most , ) that their censure of iudiyidual weakness is but proof of their own individual jealousy . ( Loud cheers . ) My friends , who will point me out a single individual who has assailed even me in the hope of correcting any fault or error that I may have committed , examine them in clashes or individually , whether the Birmingham stags , the mournful Cobbetitcs , the London whig hunters ' , or tho trafficking pedlars , and you will flud that the

      being procured in ten days for the restoration of m ^ three . Chartists . ( Renewed applause . ) While > 11 "V ^ other parties unitedly cannot fabricate half a million f ^ signatures within the session . ' Is this not an answer f \ to those who would ask for an illustration of Ciiartisfc \ strength ? and , although properly belonging to the V next head of my discourse , I may here introduce to J your notice a new feature of Chartism , and to this 1 branch of my subject I will implore your most u » - \ divided attention . Some years ago , j will take the » jobsolete period antecedent to the Reform Bill , ^ political parties were merely distinguished by their 1 political names , and were rallied under their mere ( i nominal banners : if Toryism required an exhibition , i M the banner of Toryism was raised : so with I / J Whiggery , so with Radicalism , but , thanks to the ' I > teaching ot the peoplu , that irresistible nower of know- '

      ledge which almost imperceptibly produces incipient effects , compels the several political sections to putthe ¦ social objects of their order upon their several banners . 1 ho Tories , whose principle is ever negative assumed resistance to democratic progress as their social emblem . The Whigs , after a long season of tinkering , wereobliged to emblazon Free Trade as their social emblem ; and Chartism not lagging in the fashionable course into which it had driven its rivals , mounted the Land as the only means of rewarding individual industry as its social motto .

      ( Loud and continued cheering . ) As long as we were unable to give a distinct illustration of the social meaning of Chartism we were Bcoffed at as impracticab ! es , contendinj forathingtliatwasnot intended to realise any object ; but now that we have presented an understandable meaning to the world nv man longer seeks the definition of the practical to be made use of Chartism . ( Loud cheers . ) We have not only told the world that it does not mean resistance to progression—that it does not mean free trade ; that it does not merely mean HIGH WAGES . CHEAP

      BRhAD AND PLENTY TO BO , but that it means high wages , cheap land , good remuneration or labour with comparatively LITTLE TO DO . ( Loud cheors . ) It means to buy land in the cheapest market , and to sell your produce , after wholesome consumption , in the dearest market . ( Cheers . ) Free trade means national grandeur through class distinction and national civilization , which the neweconomist , tells us means a consequent increase of pauperism , chartism means national grandeur manikst in a nation of happy individuals . Now , my ul « t ^ ' ooeed t 0 mythird bead-the Land ; but first I will ask your Secretary , Mr . Murray , to hold your Treasurer ' s Banker ' s Book in his hand while Mr . Clark reads over the items from the Star , stated to be placed to his credit and all remaining

      without a fraction being dram ( JJta this ceremony was completed amid repeated cheers , Mr . O Connor observed , ) "But tbat ' smy account only to the end of March , since then I have received £ 1200 , and here it is ; " ( exhibiting an awful roll of unsigned Post-Office Orders and Bankers' Cheques , ) which Mr . Murray handing to a reporter / observed , "Here , you see they are all right , no forgeries , you may tot thcm ; upifyou like . " ( Cheers . ) Now , said Mr . O'C , you have cheered me for a simple act of duty ; no hoi . osty whatever connected with it ; I don't Want you to applaud a mere act of duty , although I am sorry to . say that you have good reason to be astonished with it , for the cause of every popularfailure has been the dishonest use made of the people ' s funds ( Cheers

      , and it ' s true . ) But I haven't done yetr-that ' s your side , the cheering side of the picture—now look hero , hero ' s my side , the gloomy side , the profitable aide of Chartism . Here are £ 228 worth of Post-Office orders , dated January , February , and [ March , and tor which I cannot get cash ; they are neither payable to Mr . Roberts , to Mr . jWheeler , nor to me ; some are payable at Manchester Post-Office , some at Leeds , and at every Post'Office , without exception , in London ; and then , nobody knows to whom they are payable . And mind , lliis amount represents a portion ofwhatlhavepaid to the Treasurer ' s account , to keep your accounts clear : besides this , there has been nearly £ 50 irregularly paid into Banks , which I cannot get . ( Cries of shame . V , Well . I have done

      with disagreeables , I have treated of my monster , aud now I turn to the most lovely infant that nature ever produced—I mean my rosy-faeed Land child . ( Loud cheers . ) What shall I say of those who have confided in me to give them the benefit of a science of which they were purposely held in ignorance , while every tongue is full of its importance , in one shape or other . Ten years ago , five years Kgo , three years ago , who heard of the Land , except for the political patronage tbat it furnished , the commercial speculation which it encouraged ? Who among you knew that it , and it alone , produced his hat , his shoes , his coat , his sliirt , his breakfast , his dinner , Ins supper and his bed ? ( Cheers . ) Who amongst you knew , that whilst the jeweller may starve amir ' st

      Ins treasured wealth , the Land alone furnishes not only the means of living , but the means of increasing the value of his baubles , by an exchange of your surplus ? Who amongst you knew , that by the application of individual labour to the Land , that every man was not only in possession of a well-stocked larder , but of a bank upon which he could draw tha means ^ of exchanging for those necessaries of life that lua own labour was not adequate , or was not applied to furnish . ( Loud cheers . ) Here I am , after less than ten months engaged in an obstinate battle , victor over prejudices , conquoror of slander , and oommander of , with ' . niy brother directors , a sum of over Seven Thousand Pounds , above all expences . ( Loud cheers . ) And in speaking of expences let me

      remind you , that the mountebanks and jugglers who furnish you with the fascinating prospectuses of a life without toil , and riches without exertion , invariably wind up ^ the society ' s affairs by furnishing you with a bill of liabilities above receipts , advertising to diffuse a knowledge of the scheme having swallowed up the paid up capital . Here then is a society embracing the nation within its fostering , wide , and tender arms , that has notcostits members ONE SIXPENCE in advertising . ( Loud and continued cheering . ) Can you longer marvel then at the opposition , nay , afthe hatred of the press—that fourth estate of the realm hates the non-advertising community as tailors hate the breechesless , as shoemakers despise the shoeless , as publicans despise the sober . ( Cheers , and roars of

      laughter . ) Monday , Mr . O'Connor continued , will indeed be a proud day for England , when the working classes are receiving the reward ef their generous confidence . He then explained the principle of Education which he meant to propose as an auxiliary to the Land plan , and after many pleasing illustrations of the capability of the soil , he referred to the extensive manner , the complete and crowning manner , in which the trades could carry out the principles oi restriction , by applying their funds to the purchase of Land , which would pay them 4 per cent , with good security , instead of 2 J per cont . upon bad security ; and at the same time make labour more valuable m the artificial market , by removing the surplus hands from the free labour market . ( Cheers . ) He next

      turned to tlie consideration of the strike now going on in Lancashire by the building trades . He showed that he had fully anticipated what the result of free trade would be , if not accompanied by a perfect equalization of power . He assured the trades who are out that they had received but a foretaste of free trade olemency , and that if he could , at all apart from the famishing state ef Ireland , bring his mind to a distinct acceptance of the principles of free trade , it would be only from a conviction that it would create such an organization of the whole of the labouring classes , as would enforce from tyranny a fair representation of labour . ( Loud cheers . ) Aye , if we had free trade to-morrow the poor , the virtuous , the brave hand-loom weavers

      would no longer be compelled to struggle alone for their rights , but labour , simultaneously oppressed , would simultaneously rise , and simultaneously crush the serpent ' s head . ( Tremendous cheering . ) ' Even in distress , I cannot flatter . I cannot extend my undivided sympathy to men who have proroked their own suffering by their own subserviency , or their own indifference to their order . ( Cheers . ) They have joined the National Trades' Association now , it is true ; but when did they join it ? Not when they were strong , and when they could have nurtured its force for the day of battle , but when they became weak , nnd required assistance from their more confiding tellow labourers . ( Loud cheers . ) Had they not read the meeting of the London paper-stainers that took place on Thursday night , where it was shown that the masters , in anticipation of Peel's tariff , and of tlie reduction of the price of provisions , had

      taken Is . 6 d . from every 3 s . 6 d . of the men ' s wages ? ( Cries of "Shame . " ) Mr . O'Connor : Shame , indeed , shamo upon the or . o who unresistcd pluuders , or upon the many who umesistedly permit him bhanie , eternal shaine upon the uncoufiuing millions , but no shame upon the confiding tyrants . ( Great cheering . ) See the situation of those contractors . Peel ' s tariiF will alter the price of timber , and many other articles used in building and finishing houses . A master builder has a contract to build a house for £ 1 . 000 . Peel ' s tariff will allow him . to build it for £ 150 less , leaving him the profit he originally calculated upon . Tho men legitimately say , " We have a sharo to a slice of this godsend . " "No , " say the masters , " it is much too little for us adventurous speculators ; we'll have it all , and more if we could get it . ( Cheers . ) Well , the same holds good in the case of a man who is building a house upon speculation ; but what do the mastors say ? Work more ( Concluded in the Eighth Paga . ) .
