      My Friends , Presuming that I have now heard . all that is likely to be said , thought , and p rinted about fte anti'dtmcratic act of allowing shareholders who have obtained their allotments to part Trith them , 1 shall proceed to comment upon the several objections , first observing , that some have been written in a friendly , some in alspitefu ' , and some in an ignorant style . Sowever , as I believe the pride of silence upon matters of apparently trifling importance has done much damage to the popular cause , I shall consider the question in all its bearings , making no apology for not having answered

      the several querists , some of whom requested , and some of whom had the insolence to demand , an immediate reply by letter . Old sayings—if they really have a meaning , and if their application is apt and apposite—sometimes save an immensity of argument . Once upon a time , then , an Irish squire of the old school hired a butler—and in the olden times in Ireland it was little short of high treason for a butler to appear in boots ; but , mayhap , the failure of King Murphy may reconcile their honours to bare feet . Howbeit , the squire being of an easy disposition , bore the insult , until , upon one occasion , he was about to en -tertain a large party at dinner , and then he remonstrated thus : —

      "John , how comes it that you attend table in boots ? it ' s a thing I don ' t allow . " " "Wh y , your honour , '' responded John , " I could give you twenty reasons . " " Wen /* rejoined the squire , "let us hear than . " ,.. " Why . your honour , " observed the butler , *• in the first place , I hact no shoe * " — ^ " There , there / ' said his honour , " that will do : that ' s as good as the twenty . "

      Now , I might treat the question just as laconically , and reply to all the objections thus : "Wh y , in the first place , we have no power to prevent ; and I think all reasonable objector * will respond , "Well , well ; there , that will do ; that ' s as good as all the rest . " But , as-it is my custom to probe those matters to the bottom , I shall not treat the subject thus ^ smartly or lightly , but shall add , that if we had the power , I , for one , should object to so despotic , so unjust , and so antidemocratic a use of it . As most objections have been based upon the violation of democratic principles , let us

      bow test their " validity" by two democratic axioms , namely ; , — " An injustice done to an individual is an injury to society ;' ' and again—* When one of the community is wr ^ % ed , all society is injured . " Now , upon which of those horns do the advocates of absolutism choose to hang , or upon which will they suspend the wrong-doing directors ? Now , I contend , firstly , that we have no colour of right to prevent the sale ; and if we had , that its exercise would be an injustice to the individual wishing to sell , and , consequently , an injury to society , and , therefore , really

      antidemocratic Again , I contend that the member -wishing to sell , and prevented by a despotic use of power from doing so , would be wronged , and , consequently , society would be injured . Upon the other hand , will any one venture to point out or describe the wrong done to any individual , or the injury done to society , by the power of free action now allowed ? 1 defy them . If any made the attempt , it would be based upon an ideal , not upon a real injury ; because the injury would be undefined , and not attachable to any individual in the one case , but defined , applicable to , and felt by the individual in the other case . For instance , ' a 3 the

      presumed wrong now stands , it is divided between 20 , 000 members , not felt by any , and its injustice neither real or perceptible—a kind of " incip ient self-tormentor—a mere conception of a disordered brain , to . fret a distempered con-: stitution ; while the exercise of the power vould . be felt by the individual wronged , and -would be a real , grievous , and permanent wrong . I will now presume that the directors had tne power , ana exercised it . And I wiu suppose a very probable case . Suppose A . B ., the son of C . D ., to have taken a share in his father ' s life , with a prospect of succeeding his iather in a business more valuable than the

      cultivation of his land . In such case , A . B ., upon the death of his father , has the choice of evils—the evil of being excluded from his father ' s business , or the evil of being robbed of his interest in his holding , and the proceeds of his labour ; for , let it be borne in 'mind , that the nicety of democratic principle cannot possibly assign the exact time when it is unjust and injurious , or just and beneficial to sell . If a member may sell at one time , he has a perfect right to sell at any time : and one little fact has wholly escaped the nice distinction o f many complainants—it is this : that the conveyance which the rules compel the trustees tojmake once made , precludes the possibility of resisting the estrangement . The law would not allow it . But a still

      stronger democratic reason is this—that the rig ht would be imperfect if shackled with the condition of occupancy . In fact , the law of the landlords is much more democratic than these who sign themselves " Real Democrats " "True Democrats" "Democrats to the Back hone . " Some , indeed , should have signed themselves "Democrats to the Pocket" I will now prove that the law of the landlords is more democratic . The law of the landlords

      says , that when a man has rightful possession of anything , he shall have full enjoyment , use , -and government of it ; and he could not have full use , enjoyment , and management , if the law of democracy capriciously tied him to one use only , namely , the use of occupation . Some true democrats oppose the transfer , lest it should create a landed aristocracy . Was ever anything more laughable than the notion of a two-acre aristocrat , a three-acre squire , or a four acre noble lord ? Others say that it will fail of producing one of the desired results , namely , thinning the labour market *

      How truly ridiculous ! because , firstly , in ninety-nine cases in 100 , the man will work himself , and then the object is achieved ; and , should he not work , then he must employ from the surplus , and the object is achieved doubly . As far as transfers havebeen effected are have seen the very benefit I anticipated , which is this , that a bad man may venture his £ 2 12 s . on a gambling speculation , and woulc be a bad sample of the newly-created class , if forced to occupy ; while the man who purchases , purchases from choice of occupation , and brings some capital to aid us in our great

      experiment . Again , every transfer aids us with funds : thus , a member sells to a nonmember , and thus enlists one who looked for certainty , and is willing to pay for it ; the man who sells takes out another share , and -thus the society has two members for one . There is one condition which , in my mind , maybe enforced in case of sale . It is this : that , in all cases of transfer , the purchaser should not receive any capital from the Company . Nowj this would not be an injastica , be * cause he would purchase with his eyes open , and because he would not have to pay interest at 5 per cent on the capital , and the Company would be in possession of so much the more

      available capital , and shares would not sell for a penny less money . The only difference would be , that the INTERLOPER , as some correspondents call him , would not receive our capital , and would not have to pay so much rent . One of the features which promises the greatest security to the Land Flan is the right of sale , the greatest drawback would be the prevention . Kan idle man becomes unfortunate , the inefficacy of the plan and not bis inability would be assigned as the cause of bis Mure ; whereas , his power to sell will always keep up a community of willing husbandmen , who select the profession , and are willing to pay for liberty to follow it . The directors have come in for their full share of abuse in

      many anonymous letters—one especially from HUDDERSFIELD ; but no one praises the directors for the alterations they make , in

      favour of members . It was a great act of tyranny to ; ake a room off the bouse , but no one complains of having ten useful rooms instead of two useless onesno one complains of having a pump in his back kitchen—no one complains of 5 per cent , being charged as rent , instead of £ 5 on the first £ 82 10 s ., and 5 per cent , on remainder of purchase money no one complains of the vast and unexpected changes made by the directors , and all in favour of the members ; but all fail to bestow praise , and some are ready to administer censure , where the act is the act of the conference , and in obedience to the law which regulates the right of property . I tni 3 t that I have dealt plainly and satisfactorily with this subject . tayour oimerabers . It was a great act of tyranny to

      And I shall now proceed to the consideration of another liberal act of the Directors . As a matter of course , and of necessity , our Banking arrangements must have been to a considerable extent based upon the certainty of interest upon our available but unappropriated capital ; that is , the capital not applied to the purchase of land , but reserved , as a certain amonnt must be , to meet withdrawals ; If we made ourselves liable to a rate of interest which our

      unappropriated capital would not produce , we should be guilty of a fraud upon those depositors who can withdraw their monies ; and as the best terms that any bank gives is 2 | per cent ., and that very capriciously ; for instance , in three months you may only receWe one month ' s interest—thus , if you lodge on the 2 nd of the month , you get no interest for that month ; and if you withdraw before the expiration of the 3 rd mouth , you receive no interest for that month—so that in such cases vou receive less than

      1 per cent , upon your money for the three monthsnot 1 per cent , for three months , but at the rate of 1 per cent , for the whole year . Such , however , is not our rule . In our Bank , money bears interest from the day it is deposited to the day it is withdrawn . We naturally and justl y then looked for the best security for our unemployed capital ; because / jf we placed it in a bank , we might be losing over 2 per cent , which would soon break us . We find that Exchequer Bills were the safest , as well as the readiest security . They pay the largest interest , and by THE DAY , and are always worth their full amonnt—fluctuations in that stock merely affecting speculators . I explained the nature of this stock

      fully in the advertisements published in the Star It is a Government bank note of sot less than £ 100 . but as large as you can purchase in £ 1 , 000 bills . They were about 3 $ per cent when we regulated Gur rate of interest by the stock in which alone we could safely invest funds for immediate use ; and , therefore , we promised what we could pay by this standard , namely , 3 | upon deposits to be withdrawn , and 4 upon deposits for redemption . Now , the Chancellor of the Exchequer has raised the interest upon this stock to 3 d . per day , or £ 4 Us . 3 d . per cent , per annum ; and , therefore , to hold faith with our CUSTOMERS , we are proud in finding ourselves able to raise the rate of interest on deposits to 4

      PER CENT ., and upon redemption to 41 PER CENT ., thus giving the public the benefit of the improved interest . Some people very naturally wish to know what an Exchequer Bill is—it is precisely of the same value , or within a mere fraction , as a bank note of a similar amount , with this exception , that , from the day you purchase it , to the day you sell it or change it , you get the interest at the rate , NOW , of £ 4 11 s . 3 d . per cent . Suppose , for instance , that we had £ 10 , 000 in Exchequer Bills , and wanted cash to meet a run or complete a purchase , in than less three minutes we could change them into gold . Well then , says a £ 10 depositor , or a £ 90 , or a £ 200 depositor , why not give £ 4 11 s . 3 d . to us ? Why , simply because the two former , the £ 10 and £ 90 , depositors get a larger interest at 4 per cent . ; firstly , b . cause the smallest Exchequer Bill is £ 100 ,

      and they should pay brokerage , and watch the market , aud so with a £ 200 purchaser . Just as I explained iu the advertisement ; it is only a market for wholesale dealers , and we are the wholesale dealera with the fives , and tens , and nineties that could not be so applied , and we give OUR CUSTOMERS the benefit of the wholesale transactions . And I am happy to say that we were PREPARED FOR THE RISE , as we are now holders of from £ 8 ,-000 to £ 10 , 000 worth of stock , not wishing to run the risk of trusting any banking concern during the panic , and not wishing to pay interest out of locked-up capital . I trust that the Despotic Directors will be pardoned for this Anti-Democratic step of USING the Government that uses them , when it served their purpose and the public interest . Your faithful friend , Feakgus O'Connor .

      Mil 1 ^^^^ 11 0 t rj-jTjytfT * TO THE OCCUPANTS AT O'CONNORVILLE My dear Friends , While plague , pestilence , and famine are depopulating my country , and beginning to sweep the houses of your countrymen , it is no small pride and consolation to me that I ] have rescued you from the monsters , and placed you in your own castles , on your own domains : Dear as provisions now are , and compelled as you necessarily will be to purchase those provisions until your labour shall produce them , yet I will venture to assert , that those earning a pound a week will not be as well off as

      the most unfortunate of your little community ; while your labour will be sweetened by the reflection , that it will yield you a fair reward , and all for yourselves . I hope you have treasured up all that I have predicted as to the coming of the present chaos , and I hepe you have read and studied my warnings to the Irish Landlords , written from the dungeon , the felon ' s cell , the condemned cell in which the Whigs immured me for sixteen months ; and I hope you have read my speeches and predictions upon the question of Free Trade , and especially my speech in the House of Commons , in 1834 ; and I hope yon have read my letters to Daniel O'Connell , published in 1836 , and my letters to Mr

      O'Malley , published in the Star in 1840 , predicting the result of Irish agitation , Irish credulity ,, and Irish confidence ; then remember that I told you , when the Whigs last came into power , that he ( Daniel O'Connell ) had undertaken to break up the Irish party ; remember , that in September , 1845 , 1 foretold the second year ' s failure of the Potato Crop ; and last July , when the Timet and FREE TRADERS were exulting in the prospects to be produced by the measure , that I predicted the present state of the labouring classes , as well that of the agricultural labourer as of the operative and mechanic . I have now drawn your attention to a series of facts , all bearing upon the general subject

      - 'Labour ' s dependance upon Capital , and the capitalist ' s mode of dealing with the labourer . Having thus refreshed your memories , by a recital of transactions covering a long period of time , I shall now call your attention to the mode in which I proposed to meet the monster Famine in the outset . When Free Trade anticipation was at its highest we called a meeting at the CROWN AND ANCHOR , and I proposed a resolution at that meeting , that a certain portion of Church Property should be sold to meet the great calamity ; still leaving the State Church Parsons in a comparatively better position than Free Trade will leave any other class in the State . The Government might have realized over FIFTY MILLIONS of money , and

      without stinting any man living of a full meal , or depriving any one of ample luxuries and comforts . Now , the attempt of the Government to base permanent measures of relief upon the present famine , would strengthen the justice of that resolution . However , wonderful and scandalous as it must appear to all , the property t ) f the most idle , the properly most liable and most applicable to such an emergency—the property tf the poor stolen by the Church—has been the p- nly property spared by the Government ; nay , indeed , the value of Church property is incalculably , increased in value , both in security and amount j while all other property has become deteriorated . I now mention this feet , because I think the hour hw arrived for

      Untitled Article

      demanding the restitution of what is called CHURCH PROPERTY to its original and proper use ; namely , the best mortgage that the riehtful owners of the land can have upon the land ; and every attempt that has been made by the owners of the soil to rid themselves of this DIVINE TITHE and mortgage has recoiled firstly upon the poor , and will shortly recoil upon themselves . -In 1832 I was tried in Ireland for a conspiracy to ROB THE CHURCH by abolishing tithes ; and as the injustice of the law has never intimidated me from the discharge of a solemn duty , I will now create an agitation in England and Ireland for a TOTAL ABOLITION OF TITHES , demandinKthe restitution of what ; sm , il « ir . HTTRCH

      and the APPROPRIATION of that property , not to the casual support , but to the permanent happiness of the people , by the purchase of land , and erection of houses . This agitation we will call THE DEATH STRUGGLE , and we will conduct it without violence or tumult , but we will not NOW let it cool until we see justice done . I tell yon , and I tell the Irish people , that Church influence and Protestant ascendancy , are the master grievances of the age—r and that neither the Charter nor the Repeal of the Union would be worth a groat , if this * evil liete-M continue ; and that , those measures achieves , we " should have to fight those old and sturdy enemies : In this agitation w e shall have an incalculable

      amount of support from all shades of politicianswhile the state of Ireland and the prospects of England furnish good and sufficient ground for the demand . Having said so much upon this important subject , I now call your attention to those measurei by which you will be enabled to maintain your present position , independently of all adverse circumstances . This season has been a very backward one ; and , in truth , seeds and plants were nearly as well out of the ground as ' in i t , up to this period ; the ground ' will now be like a HOT-BED , and you must make the most of the season . The value of your present trade is , that , even if inclined , no MASTER FARMER can withhold his

      knowledge from his neighbour ; you have , fortunately for you , the experience of " seven or eight market gardeners , and what THEY DO , \ 'OU DO ; and they will be glad to teach you . As potatoe are dear for seed , I cannot recommend as much as I otherwise would ; but , believe me , in three years from this time the potato will be as extensively grown as ever . Its unfortunate application as human food—the exclusive food of the Irish people —has made a ^ reat many wise men , though ignorant of the value and properties of that root , condemn it in wholesale terras ; but I tell you that the best crop of potatoes for their LEGI . TIMATE USE , is worth three times as much a *

      the best crop of anything that is extensively grownthree timeB as much as either the best crop of turnips or wheat . Corn is the least valuable crop grown . What I should now recommend is a succession of cabbages , Belgian white carrots , a few Swede turnips , some mangel wurzel , and peas and beans for a succession of crops , with other garden stuffs in the garden ; and , even yet , it is not too late for barley in your ground , if you wish for more than I have sown , which is about forty acres , besides potatoes , cabbages , peas , beans , carrots , and other garden stuffs , that have been sown in good season . Keep your ground clean of weeds ; don ' t allow ONE TO LIVE , for a weed and a cabbage cannot live

      together . Take care of every SPOONFUL OF MANURE : it is gold . Don ' t sow nor plant too deep this year , till you give your ground a good winter ' s trenching , and then you may go deeper and still deeper every year . Keep THE BIRDS OFF ; and when you see plants shaken by the wind , STEADY them with your hand or heel , or a blunt stick , and put some mould to them . Keep your cabbages and potatoes well landed up , and make the earth fine about thenu Begin to make a heap of your weeds and spare earth , and suds and wash , and never think you turn and stir it enough ; it is a kind of sponge , sucking the oxygen from the atmosphere , and the more open you KEEP ITS

      MOUTH , and the more porous you make it , the more it will inhale . Keep your heaps of stuff high and compact , in the shape of a roof of a house , to let the rain fall off , and if you keep always stirring it , ten times a day , so much the better , though once a month , or when the weeds begin to grow , will do . DON'T ALLOW THE WEEDS TO GROW IN TOUR HE APS . I wish each man would procure , for love or money , six of ihe largest potatoes he can get , and plant them whole with some dung and keep laying the stalks as they get , strong and covering them well with soil made fine

      and water now and then , and put them in twelve square yards of ground , and keep a good base of earth , the potatoes planted two yards apart , and you will be surprised to see the basket-full that the six will turn out . On the 24 th I will show you how to do it I knew a clergyman , the Rev . Mr Madras , who grew more than alarge horse-load from a single potato ; any -who can afford it , I would recommend them to join and buy two boat-loads of London horse-dung . The price for dung and carting from the wharf will be about £ 24 , it will be worth £ 50 , and will pay GOOD INTEREST : it will pay for itself in the first crop and will remain in the ground

      Be CAREFUL OF EVERY SPOONFUL OF DUNG ; DON'T ALLOW A WEED TO GROWSTEADY YOUR PLANTS , IF SHAKEN BY THE WIND ; KEEP OFF THE BIRDS ; BE UP EARLY , AND YOU WILL PICK UP THE WORM BEFORE HE PICKS UP YOUR SEEDS OR PICKS OFF YOUR CABBAGES . 1 look forward with great pleasure to Monday , the 24 th , and shall expect some . of my children to give me a bed on that night . I remain your fond and affectionate friend , Feargus O'Connok . - ^ j . jrrf . L 1 ^^ r J _ J ^

      CHARTISM IN THE NORTH .-GREAT MEETINGS IN YORKSHIRE . Halifax . —The Chartists of Halifax haying determined to hold a public meeting to consider the present crisis of affairs , and Mr Ernest Jones hiving been invited on the occasion , on Friday evening , the 7 th instant , the Odd Fellows' Hall was filled to overflowing by a respectable audience , anxious to raise their voices against clas 3 legislation and its disastrous effects . Mr Bawden was elected to preside . On the arrival of Mr Jones , he was

      greeted by prolonged applause . Mr Jones delivered a most luminous address , to attempt to give an outline of which would be impossible ; suffice it to say , that he spoke for an hour and a half , with the most impassioned eloquence , and handled the subject in a masterly and convincing manner , interrupted frequently by the cheers of the meeting , which was the largest holden in this town for a long time . At the conclusion of the lecture , Mr R . Satliffe moved the Mowing resolution , which was carried unanimously :-.

      That the belt thanks efthisnieetlug » re due , andjtrs hereby given , to John tielel » n , Esq ., H .

' Mr Rushton moved a vote of thanks to Mr Jones , for the able lecture that he had given , whioh was oarried by acclamation . Three cheers were given for Mr O'Connor . Mr Jones acknowledged theowapliment , and proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman , when the vast assemblage separated , highly delighted with the evening ' s proceedings , Dzw 8 BUBT .- "On Saturday night last , Mr Ernest Jones delivered a brilliant lecture at this placo , where

      tha large room at the Duke of Leeds had been secured for the occasion . At eight o ' clock Mr Titus Brook , a friend of the people , wag called to the chair , and introduced the business of the evening in ft neat and pithy speech . Mr Jones addreased the meeting at considerable length on the Laud and the Charter , nd , at tho conclusion of his address , an old Chartiit of th « district asked the lecturer some questions , as he thought it impossible for a man to live on two acres of land . This gave the lecturer an excellent opportunity of establishing his position , which he did ( not only by argument , but by instancing facts which had occurred in that very part of the West Riding , ) to the great gratification of the meeting , ai also of the querist , who expressed himself perfectly convinced by the explanations hereceived .

Mr Alderson sat down amid the applause of tha meetins . ¦ rr

      -Mr John Shaw , of Leeds , defined the pernieioui effects of our government , and the fallacious hoDes of those who expected much from its advocacy . Ho then adverted to : the evil results of intemperanee , Mid delivered , a powerful exhortation in favour of S * netyynnion and order , at the same time that he fcposed the sufferfngflof his countrymen , and warned them to depend on no other source than their own exertions . Mr Shaw ' s excellent address wa 3 hailed with merited approbation . Mr Ernest Jokes then rose , and was greeted with prolonged cheers . lie adverted to thewretched state of the manufacturing population and the condition or the community at large , and next proceeded to examine whether this arose from the deficiency nf the country , the indofrnce of the neonle . or the

      special wrath of the Deity-when , having dearly proved the adequacy of the soil lor the support of the inhabitants , the unparalleled industry of the latter , and vindicated the mercy of the . Deity , he traced the effects of evil legislation back to the ' ir source , and analysed in succession all the so-called measures of reform that had emanated from the government since the Reform Bill , —fully exposing the quackery of party , and fallacy of free trade ; and said , alluding to its results , the parsons told us we must not do eood on a Sunday—for his part , he thought the better day the better deed—but , under the blessings of free trade , the factories had grown as religious as the parsons , since they not only did no work on the Sunday , but were idle every day in the week as

      well . He then alluded to the Education Scheme , observing that government were not able to stifle the desire for education on the part of the people ; therefore , sooner than let the people give themselves a good , education , they had stepped in just in time to give a bad one , subservient to their sectarian principles and enslaving policy . He ( Mr Jones ) believed the best foundation for a good education was roast beef and plum-pudding , since it was useless to preach honesty to a man while hunger was prompting him to thieve—or order , while misery was driving him to violence ,-or morality , while he was dograded by a pauper-dress , and unmanned in a Bastile , — or honour , while he was disgraced by being a slave . From the result of the Ten Hours' Bill , the speaker deduced arguments illustrative of the power the people possessed at the present crisis , and thus went over the means at their disposal for obtaining re .

      • Jress . After payin ? a due tribute to the glorious Land Plan and Trades * Union , heproved how nothing short of the Charter could lead to the deBired goalhow it was wedded to the Land Plan—how political power could only be met by political power , andjhow endeavouring to _ annul tyranny by social amelioration alone was impracticable , as long as the ' same cause existed , which had once already reduced us from social prosperity to our present Elysium of " Free Trade " and " Education . " Mr Jones concluded by a truly stirring appeal to the people , calling on them , as once they had rallied ( deluded by Whig Reformers ) for " the Bill , the whole Bill , and nothing but the Bill "—thus now to be satisfied only with the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing but the Charter . His address had a powerful effect on the meeting , and was greeted with prolonged and hearty acclamations . .

      Mr L * cr , W . R . S . J then read a circular replying to the assertions of a Wesleyan preaclior , who had come forward in the pulpit to misrepresent the principles of the Charter . Mr Smith , of Bradford , refuted these caluranios , and forcibly contrasted the purity 0 ! the Charter with the foulness of priestcraft . Thus ended one of the most important meetings that has long been held in the North , and from which we augur brightly of our renewed agitation . Notwithstanding the torrents of rain , thousands came ( from great distances to hear their glorioui principles expounded , and none flinched from the ground until the proceedings had been duly con-Oluded . The Utmost enthusiasm characterised ihe

      proceedings , and a spirit has been rekindled in the West Riding that will not soon expire , and bids fair , if emulated throughout the country , to shake Monopoly to its foundation . : Bridjobd— On Sunday evening a publio meeting w « b held in the Temperance Hall , Leeds-road , to hear an address from Mr Ernest Jones , of London . Long before the time announced for the meeting taking place , the doors were besieged by parties , anxious t » hear the Poor Man ' s Poet and Advocate . When Mr Jones entered the Hall , it was crowded in every part , and it was with the utmost difficulty that h « could make his way , aided by the committee , to tha platform . Mr Anderson cave out the Chartist hymn : —

      Britannia ' s ions ! though slaves you be , Clod , your Creator , made you free . The whole meeting joised in chorus , whioh had a most impressive effect . Mr Jones was cordially greeted on his appearance , and for above two hours riveted th « attention of the audience to his highly eloquent and powerful address . In aid of the local expenses , a collodion was made , which soon amointed to a considerable sum , and the maeting separated , highly gratified with the evening ' s proceedings .
