      EAD THIS , AND DO AS IT RECOMMENDS . Mx Beloved Friends , The Land question will keep—it will wait itthe Election question will not ; and I wish ' oreover , to convince the false prophets , thati ith me , at least , the Land is of secondary im . rfance , « hile the CHARTER is of paramnt importance , and always has heen . I am iwsoing to astonish you . hy telling you that n- have no ri ght to complain of any one ierance , and for this single reason—that you

      j ve it in your power , to-morrow , to separate hurchfrom State ; to make FREE-TRADE national blessing ;; to convert your BASILES into colleges or hospitals ; to have the jwer of educating your own families : " to disfnse with a standing army , and all pauper tus , and io have a "PAIR DAY'S WAGE k > R A FAIR DAY'S WORK ; " to he posk-ors of the entire fruits of your own indus jy : to secure sanitary reform , legal reform hd all other reforms .

      Attend ! and mark your power . In 1838 I i dovn the plan by which you may secure proponderance in the REPRESENTA-[ OX of the country ; I will now restate it dso simply that you cannot misunderstand it-, 1 to understand it and not execute it is cril [ nal . I will tike Blackburn for mr Ulustra } n . I * U 1 presume that in Blackburn and fctrkts there are 8 , 000 men depending upon Lur ; and I will presume that 300 electors [ even 200 , standing together , in addition to lat principle could insure , would secure a lilidate ' s returru . ...

      iov , observe how this is to be done . Let 8 , 000 living upon labonr divide the boch into 40 wards , 200 heads of families conuting a ward ; this would give you 40 nh , with 200 families to each . Appoint ard secretary , and allow the 40 ward secreies to constitute the CENTRVL BO UGH ELECTION COMMITTEE . When ir machinery is complete , get election ks ; in each book let the address of your didate be printed , followed by a calm * and peetfidapiieal to the electoral body on his

      ialf . ITiat appeal should explain how the pkeepers , to" : whom it is made , live upon , r wag < s , and hold the franchise in trust for i It should be written in very plain and pie language , without the slightest attempt loquence or fine writing—ivritten i ,, st as rite to you , and should show that a well-H labouring community is the soul and life their trade . It should combat the foll y that I return of your candidate would in anywise Ire them ; it should show that Labour ' s invited condition would relievethem from police rates

      s , poor , litigation rates , and many ¦ r vexatious burdens . That done , let the names of narJinen be appended , and let the ¦ eury wait upon the butchers , bakers , rerr , tobacconists , and corn and bacon , and fer and cheese , 'and > ap : and candle lers , and say that he has called with a fixed determined resolution , adopted by those heads of families , not to deal vfith any sleeper who shall not vote for their candi-;; and let those shopkeepers wh <» are ing to do justice to themselves and you , i and pledge to vote for vour man " and

      , AL ONLY WITH SUCH . Don ' t hoi exclusive dealing as a threat , but PRA . C-¦ E IT IS A REMEDY . Then mark ! One cher , one baker , one grocer , one tobacco-Land one provision-dealer , in each ward , es you 2 C 0 electors . 200 heads of families , ill presume , spend 10 s . each amongst those ? . or one hundred pounds a week , or - ^ 20

      h each shopkeeper in the week , that is 040 per annum . 1 know I am much under i mark , as there ' are over 6 , 000 members in Weavers' Union alone , and in nine weeks y have expended £ 2 _ . 2 G 0 in a strike , ile one-tenth of that amount would ure them against strikes . Of course , i can , unfortunately , command all the rticans and beer-shops—and SHUT THEM

      -DRY THEM-STARVE THEM OUT , hey refuse to support you . This done , the ? wardmen are relieved from any further k , and the BOROUGH CENTRAL COMTTEE should meet at least twice a week ; I on each Monday , after work , there should a large out-door meeting , to hear reports m the general secretary ; and the best men mid be selected to address the people , to > w them their power ; and the candidate iuld be pledged , in writing , to resign his t when called upon by a majority of a blic meeting convened for that purpose , and which ten clear days' notice should be given him and to the people .

      In Blackburn vou have over 2 , 000 of my ILD GUARDS , " and 4 . 000 of my JUVE-131 STATESMEN ; and I WILL GIVE ) U A LOAN OF THEM , as Mr Duncombe « to theAVhigs . I wish you to remember that who were six years old when I commenced litical teaching " are now of FULL CHAR-£ R AGE—twenty-one years . Let me now > w you what an united people can effect . In 32 , 1834 , 1837 , and 1841 , the Irish people , spite of landlords , parsons , magistrates , ivernment influence , soldiers and police

      : uraed a majority of Irish members pledged their principles , while all England can only turn ON E . " Yes , " you answer , " but what et they were ! " True " , I admit it ; but their rytitude does not affect the argument , je reason that Ireland has been so ten sold is , because there Las existed no plant popular control ia the country—belise the fomentors of strife and getters-up of riktion lived upon popular confidence and •|> ular ignorance . None but members dared

      go speak , or were privileged to speak , at the gtional gatherings , and " they spoke the lan-Wiageoi slaves seeking patronage . Ifanocglsuin-privileged stranger spoke out of TUNE ^ ie organ-master silenced him , and the spellgpund dupes hissed him down . Noworkino-* an ever dared to speak ; and if one ventured m reason , his INSOLENT INDEPENDENCE JUSTIFIED HIS DISMISSAL , ijghdi was hailed with unanimous applause . In Ifreland there never has been a popular move' ^• nt , except in 1823 , when I was obliged to Jjly my country for , thirteen months to escape i || be threatened vengeance of Castlereagh , ant \ m 1532 , when we would have abolished tithes

      it for Mr OConnell , who sold us neck id crop , had us tried and persecuted , and roken up ; and there never will be a popular lovement in Ireland until the Irish people ho work are allowed to speak their mind and

      re REPORTED BY THE PRESS . I con-: nd , without fear of contradiction , that the !; iglish people are better prepared for liberty ban any people , not only in Europe but in the orld , and I say , with vanity , that 1 have nought them fe , that state . The French are ot prepared for liberty , and for this sin « le eason , —because the people have not had the

      rivilege of meeting and discussing their rievances , and , bad as Louis Phili ppe is , the iiivfTiuuent of the middle classes , that will be ailed as a substitute for his , will be , beyond all ¦ '• mparison , a more tyrannical and anti-popuar government . The next French change ill be effected against A BAD SYSTEM ; « w next English change will be effected for A iOOD SYSTEM . Now , herein is all the

      difference : an untutored , badly-directed people contend merely against A BAD SYS'i'KM ; a tutoied , well-directed people contend * r A GOOD SYSTEM . The people o -inland would , NOW , no more tolerate a PHYSICAL REVOLUTION than they w « uld abandon their CHARTER *; and why ? Be ; -ause the sound , and tutored , well-directed « iind of England sees in its moral iiowen the

      niK »; s of effecting a change , which , if effected uy physical force , would be used by the niidtiii ! chusj as an engine to destroy popular hiflnoaoe . I have told you a million ol times that << W'ussionisthe very main spring of legislation , and you owe your greatness ^ to that ararce , DISCUSSION—to every man ' s right to abuse FeargusO'Conuor , and to his right to " - ' ** ' ' . 3 iin tun .

I know of no such preparation for the next election as I have described , and . therefore , I know that yon DON'T WANT THE CHARTER ; and your enemies must naturally believe thiit you are governed to your TASTE . In Paris , ' the

      Itelorwers , as they fancifull y . call themselves have had a grand banquet in honour of electoral refora :. "We showed them the road ; but the French PEOPLE are not prepared for it . lhe Swiss have a Republic ; but the lower orders are perfect slaves , ; ind merely because they allow their SUPERIORS to buy and sell them . I spent a week in the frontier town of Switzerland . My landlord had been ten years m England and Scotland , and as I wasenjraffen

      writing a letter from that town ( Chiasso ) to you , I heard a great row , and ran down stairs and found the landlord threshing a great big fellow without shoes and stockings . I asked the c | Bse of quarrel , and the landlord *» d , « You-see , sir , there is one law for the RICH and auntner for the POOR , here as well as in England ; thisfellow has been sleep , ing in my loft , and lounging about here , though he could earn an HONEST LIVING . " " How do you know ? " « r i < l I . " Why , " said he , "I offered him good wages for SMUGGLING formeacross the Al ps ; but he prefers begging . "

      I shall now call your attention more fully to what the next Government move will be : it will betheendowmentoftheCatholicpriesthoodand the admission of a portion of the Catholic prelates to the House of Lords ; in the first instance , such prelates as Archbishop Murray who can be safely entrusted with the protection of monarchical privileges ; and , mark my words ! he will be as faithful a guardian as the Protestant Bishop of Exeter . In the first experiment the Archbishop of Tuam , Dr MHale , will not be admitted to a seat in thr upper House ; but the old system , based upon

      the union between Church and State , being nearly exploded—the Whisfs under Russell , or the lories under Peel , will . look to the infusion of new blood and new appliances , and will rely upon the Catholic hierarchy to supply them . There is a gulf between the Catholic hierarchy and the inferior clergy , but the blow will be aimed by the English Government , the Pope , and the Irish Catholic prelates , and we must be prepared to resist it to the DEATH .

      Ireland will be prepared , if the " people are properly tutored ; but what I fear is , that the English Treasury will do the work of a DOUBLE-BARRELLED STATE CHURCH , lite Pope requires protection against the Austnan despot , and the English government must ha \ 'e protection against Irish agitation , and the Catholic hierarchy will be enfcted . You must not overlook , or lose sight of , this prospect , nor must you forget that at the REFORMATION , as it is whimsically called , when the nation by a sudden impulse turned from Catholic to Protestant , to gratify the beastly lust of a beastly

      king , that , with the exception of about seventy of the inferior clergy , the priests followed the bone , and changed religions for the tithes ; and whatever splutter may now be made , believe me , the BIG DOGS will look for the BIG BONE , and Ireland will be once more diverted from the consideration of its CIVIL RIGHTS by religious feuds . Every honest man in the world , whetherCatholic or Protestant , is bound toresistthisDOUBLE ADULTERY , this double State-Church communion . God knows one is had enough , but two would be a double plague ! Resistance to such a project should be

      put to every candidate , and should be enforced by every constituency . What ' 1 have said of Blackburn applies equally to Halifax , | Nottiugham , Derby , and all other towns ; and yet who will < io it r James Sweet will be the first man in England to set the example , and William Beesley will be apt to follow it . I have done my duty in mapping out the plan ; you will not have done yours till you carry it out . No ; you will threaten your " power of exclusive

      dealing , whereas you should COMMENCE it on Saturday ni ght , and Ro berts , Jones , M'Grath , and scores of others would be sent to the House of Commons to represent you . Men of Halifax ! will you do this ? and Jones is secure . Men of Leeds ! will you do it ? arid Sturge is secure . I beg to acknowledge ONE POUND from a friend , for Sturge ' s election , and I beg to say that if I had a hundred votes I would give them all to Sturge , as he is the very sort of man we want—men who evince

      courage and boldness in resisting the prejudices of their own order . I hope to hear that after ten years' enforcement of this plan , that it is now to be carried out , and then the PRESS will be compelled to notice us , and confess our strength , our union , and our devotion . Ever your faithful Friend , Feakgus O'Connor .

      WARRINGTON TEA-PARTY . We have seldom witnessed a more glorious exuifotion than our town presented on Monday evening last ; the two factions respectively contending for the honour of being slaves to a Whig Railway Contractor , and a Tory-Brewer ; the Whi g Free-trader Imicli < 7 w 5 th his own wcapons-OPEN HUU&tSj—to dubauch the thoughtless . And here we may mention , that the sura of £ 10 odd vraspaid toonehttle Reer-house man for Whig knowledge , ln ° ne evening ; and yet , though the : town was in * , tended to be kept in a drunken bustle , never was there a more sober , orderly ; and attentive : audience than that which crammed the TOWN-HALIi on Monday evening .

Secretary . " Messrs O'Connor and Koberts were met at the station by a large concourse of tlie VfOrKing classes , and were escorted through the town in an open carriage , junid the hearty cheers of the populace , and were received in the Hall with several rounds of applause . : Mr Anderson , in moving Mr Roberts to the , chair , said , that it was an unusual thing to find a Solicitor preferring FAME TO FEE ; however , such , he could state from his own knowledge , was Mr

      Roberts s present position , as he had refused a large fee to attend at Blackburn that day , rather than disappoint Messrs LION AND STUBBS . ( Immense cheering . ) After a few appropriate remarks , Mr Roberts was voted to the chair , and a more glorious exhibition of popular feeling we have never ' wit . nessed on any occasion : The several speakers acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of the mtseU ing . lmt the speeches of Ashton and Richardson , the two allottees about to be located at Lowbands , were particularly touching , from their simple eloquence

      and real thankfulness . According-to the arrange ^ rnents the chairman invited any person who wished lor information to question Mr O'Connor , whereupon a person in the body of the Hall asked how a man could support his family and save 4 J 100 a year upon four acres , and if Mr O'Connor calculated at the present price of wheat ? Mr O'Connor replied , that he had laid down the mode of culture , and that he had only estimated wheat at 50 s . a quarter , not at 100 s . or 120 s . ; potatoes 3 d . a stone , instead of 3 d . a pound ; and all by wholesale price .

      A Mr West , a Quaker and manufacturer , who was on the platform , and who appeared to take great interest in the proMedings , requested to be allowed to make an observation , and was loudly cheered : he said that he kuew a cottager who sold the produce of nineteen Cheshire rods , that was just forty statute rods , or a quarter of an acre , for £ 1 ? 12 s . ( loud cheers )—they were potatoes , and lie would have ; a second crop on the same ground ; and he had now on . the platform one pound six ounces of potatoes dug from one stalk , off land that was waste last year , ( cheers , ) and believed much more might he done . : ; ' After the speeches * Mr O'Connor entered into an argumentative conversation for a length of time , which appeared to give unbounded satisfaction ; when

      Mr Roberts ( upon thanks being proposed to him ) rose , and made a slasher upon themagistrates , whom the people ' s co-operation had driveu into retirement ; and upon the TEETOTAL policeman , " who would never again break open a poor man ' s box ; and concluded a very eloquent appeal by assuring the meeting , that whether in or out of parliament he would always prefer popular fame , honestly earned , to professional gain , The meeting gave several rounds of applause , and Mr O'Connor left for Lowbands , to prosecute his operations .

At the conclusion , three hearty cheers were given for Mesarti Jones and Miall , and several electors pledged for Mr Jones . The following address has been extensively published : — r ¦ ADDRBES OP THB NOS-KLECIOBS TO THE ELECTOtS OF HALIFAX .

      # Gentlemen , —\ ou are on the eve of a general election , and right glad are we that the experience of the last few years of'blundering and abortive legislation ;> f your members ' has opened your eyoa . to your true interests . Society is rapidly progressing onward * , aud you plainly see it is absolutely necessary that you should select members of parliament who will assist the countiy to remove every obstacle in the way ; of good and cheap government . ThU lesson has . been bard to learn . The people of England have been too longthe passive subjects of oDDressibn . with .

      ? p { . 1 $ f i ? hance of bettering their condition , lhank Uod , this information has at last got abroad , although it has been purchased at an enormou . s ' amount of suffering , the . condition of the labnurine classes being reduced to a state of misery and degradation beyond all precedent , whilst bankruptcy and rum are hanging over the mercantile and trading euaWishmenta of the countiy . Still , we would not encourage a spirit of despair ; we hops the united efforts of electors and non-electors may yet obtain such a parliament aa wiil consider ' the interests of the , nation as one and indivisible .

      Several meetings of electors and non-ekctors have been held m this town , to determine who shall be called upon as candidates for this place , and it was unanimously agreed that MESSRS JOKES AND MIALL were fit aud proper persons to discharge the important trust attaehed to members of parliament ; and if the Liberal electors and dissenters stand to their principles they will be returned . It very seldom happens that objections are not raised against a candidate not being in every point of view suitable to the individual taste and fancy of some elector . It should be reraembere ' d , ttiat they have the vote to exercise for the benefit ' of the nonelectors ; the vote is not the vote ( f the ' electors

      alone , but also the vote » f ' the non-eleelors ; it is no toy to be played with , no commodity for their private use , nor ought to be dispoced of contrary to the wish of the majority ; and we think the only rational method is to vote for men who will pledge themselves to the advocacy and Bupport of great principles , and the furtherance of measures calculated tc-ameliorate the condition and advanca . the general interests of the country , and who engage to retire from the rep resentation at the close era session whenever a majority of electors and non-electurs think proper ; in that case you would not have to be annoyed with their blunders and misdeeds for the loag period ol seven y ears .

      There is-one thing wo may be assured-of . that th& choice of candidates for tin ' s borough is-fuH as likely to answer your purpose as the choice of many other constituencies . Do we not find them sending fos ,-hunting parsons , mad-blooded soldiers , unprincipled lawyers , horse-racers , gamblers , and Borne of the veriest hasum-searums that could by possibility be raked together througheut the length and breadth of the laud ? : It has been remarked , that this boreuRh w as rotten as old Sarumsever was , andsthis is ab out to be testad at the ensuing election ;; it will then b seen whether the electoral bligkt has affected disiStntera more- than tho potato blight the potatoes .

      VVe deprecate exclusive dealing' # nen brought to bear on persons who censcieHtiousiy . diffor in their political views and opinions ; but we fear tlicre are persons who call themselves Liberals , and Life *] dissentoss too—persons- in trade , wd 6 ho }» keeBerswho will acknowledge they are entrusted with the ( ranchise in order te « btain the greatest good for the greatest number , who , when they , come to vote , will not only discard th ;* duty , but vote iu direct opposition to-their own avowed principles . In all oases of this-descnption , itcertainly wills be an apologv , and

      indeed can scarcelj ! l » considered wrong for . persona seeing this , whethev they be elwtora or non , electors , to- afterwatds make a selection of those tradesmen wk& act consistently on genawl and avowed princi ples ; for such .- conduct , wa think , canaot fail to win the favour , of a discerning public , unless virtue aad honesty should be allowed to go unrewarded or annoticed . We leave you iayour choice , as well as those who are inclined to- take the crooked path a * thetltction , and claim fos-ourselvesthei ' ree exercise of our judgment in the selection of our tradesmen

      AFXKB THE . EI . SCTION . The poll book will give m the names of those wh » keep theisj- votes in thair pockets—of those ! who . are induced to abscond into some skulking hole till tho election ia over—of those who remain at home under some sham illness , as well as bhosc who plump e split iheir votes ia opposition to . their previous , opinions . All true Liberals and Dissenters will feel oMiged to vote fot- those who wiil supposs their causa . They cannot in justwe give their vote to one wlo in parliament would oppose their just claims , and even trample to extinction their rights &u& liberties .

      Shrink not * then , from this avowed adveeacy of your principles : your cause isholy and claiaasyour attention . Relij-ious frecdora an only b » secui ' ed by the establishment of wise institutions , and a general support ot civil liberty ; liberty dwelt * with the millions , tyranny with ton few , in all nations . Strive , then , to get members who will , as far as in them Iks , obtain the ^ rentest good for tho greatest number , lor suoh men are tho keepers and tho only good security ef property , liberty , and every tiling valuable on earth . Suffer not the stand-still policy of tho Whigs nor the calls for backward-movements ofthe Tories , to draw you from the path of dutv .

      A few moments' reflection will convince all dee lors who wish to progress with the people , that they connotvotie for tho present members , nor can they , with any consistency , split their votes between them and a new caudidati-, for this would ncutralizs their voto , and make the election . 1 nontntity ; therefore tho honest and struinhtforwnrd course will be to stick to MESSRS JONES AND MIALL through evil ap . d through good report , whether we win or not . Dis-[ charge the duty reposed-in you faithfully , and if you I fail ia the attwnraeuc of your wishes , you cau retire
