      " MEASURES , NOT MEN . "

      THE CHARTER AND NO Sl RRENDER ! In no spirit of petty triumph we point to tie exhibition of national feeling recorded in the columns of this day ' s Star with regard to Jlr O'Connor and his accusers . The people have given their verdict , and in such terms as must convince the most rabid of Mr O'Connor ' s foes of the utter hopelessness o £ destroying- the object of their hatred , so long as he remains faithful to the cau . 'eof uhich he is the recognised representative , and true to the movement of which he is the acknowledged thief .

      The mass of resolutions and addresses on this subject contained in this week's Star , do not include more than half the number received , 'i e bave given the whole we must have curhi ' ed the reports of the Assembly ' s p : » ceedin * g ; we preferred rather to postpone till our next number many of the enthusiastic testimonials of popular regard , which , jjj jus tice to Mr O'Connor , and to the people themselves , ought to have appeared in our present number .

      We have said we record these popular manifestations in no feeling- of petty personal triumph . Every man in the National Assembly will see in these manifestations his owd safeguard against calumny and misrepresentation . Let any Chartist leader , as well as Mr O'Connor , he unjustly assailed , and he will find the people prepared to as zealously defend him . Every honest man will consider that he has a share in Mr O'Connor ' s triumph —only knaves will regret his victory .

      This week the Assembly has repudiated the fcile ^ ed hostility to Mr O'Connor , popularly a ^ Ciibed to it . For ourselves we never imagined that ever any consideiable number of the Delegates were animated by a sentiment at once so unjust and so impolitic . We knew that the denunciators were but a few . Unhappily they were the noisiest , and so stamped the body with a character which was unjust to the Assembly as a whole . The Assembly has now set itself right in the eyes of the public , and we feel confident will not again allow any foolish or evil-disposed men to place it in the wrons- '

      fj Vi e adopt the Assembly ' s motto , " Measures , not men . " As far as we can concur in tne acts of the Delegates , their " measures " shall have our hearty support , quite independent of the question of " men . " The principal work the Assembly was delegated to perform , was , undoubtedly , the presentation of the Memorial to the Queen , and this should have been , if not the first , one of tlie f rat subjects of its deliberations . The unfortunate affair of the National Petition , unquestionably did the movement considerable damage . The wickedness of our enemies , combined with the want of judgment on the part of our friends , rendered the National Petition worse than a nullitv . In our humble

      Obinion , tbe Convention should have taken steps to have remedied this misfortune . In answer to the triumphant yellings and scoffings of our enemies the Convention should hftve engaged to have procured some manifest * tion of public opinion , similar to what the National Petition was intended to have been ; of course , taking the necessary means to guard against imposition and misrepresentation . It was most essential that some such exhibition of toe Will of the people should hare preceded the presentation of the Memorial . Unfortunatel y , the Convention decided otherwise . We tt-nect that the Assembl y did not reverse that decision .

      . Declining to re-open the National Petition question , the best mode sf presenting the Memorial should hare been the first subject of

      Untitled Article

      the Assembly ' s deliberations . To discuss ' ulterior measures '' before presenting the Memjrial , was " putting the cart before the horse . " Now that the subject has been discussed , the delegates appear to have come to a prudent decision thereon . It appears that the Lord Chamberlain is already in possession of the intimation that a deputation from the people desire to see her Majesty the Queen , face to face , to present tbe Memorial , demanding a dissolution of the present corrupt House of Commons , and the dismissal of her

      unpopular advisers , to make way for hone 3 t men , who will be prepared to do justice to the people by making the Charter a Cabinet measure . Certain parties are clamorous for a procession to attend the deputation to the Queen . Under present circumstances , such a move would be the perfection of madness . A procession means fighting , for which the people are not prepared . Circumlocution of speech on such a subject would be cowardice . We give utterance to what we believe to be the truth . We , too , wish to " brin ; r the question to an issue , " but we wish also that tbe issue may be victory for

      Chartism . To sanction any move which , in all probabil ) ty , 'would bring another sort of issue , would draw down upon us the curses of millions , and render conscience itself our unreleDting accuser . We perceive that the Assembly has voted the holding of an aggregate meeting of the men of London , to sanction the Memorial . We understand that the said meeting will take place , on Monday evening next , on Clerken-« ell Green , We trust that every Democrat in London will rally to that gathering , to the cry of

      " THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !" Amongst the " measures" included in the work of the Assembly performed within the present week , which we feel called upon to applaud . we may enumerate the resolution of Dr M'Douall and Mr Councillor Brook , regarding the middle class agitation for the Suffrage ; Mr Ranldn ' s resolution respecting the Army ; Mr West ' s resolution in support of the Repeal of the Union , and Mr Carver ' s resolution against State Church-craft . These resolutions are calculated , we hope , to bring us " troops of friends . " We should not omit favourable

      m intion of Mr Kydd s excellent addiess to men of all classes . Such " measures" do credit to the Assembly , and will , we hope , command univer .-al approbation . The new plan of organisation we shall not discuss at present ; we wait until incomes before us in proper form . It will be seen that a new Executive has been appointed—provisionally . In the course

      of a few weeks , the people will either confirm the Assembly ' s choice or appoint others . Holding ourselves at perfect liberty to discuss " measures / ' we shall leave " men' * to speak for themselves . The members of the new Executive are » "ell known to the people , and their acts in the past , the present , and the future , sufficiently speak , and will speak , for them .

      The Assembly has determined to ask the people for a " Liberty Fund" of 10 , 000 / . Of course every locality will respond to the ap * peal . For the new Executive to earn the confidence of the people it must work ; but to work 3 and work efficiently , that Executive must be supplied with | the means of working . As the acknowledged organ of the Chartist movement , we feel we but express the general opinion of the Chartist body , in expressing our thanks to the good men and true who formed the late Executive , and for so many vears braved the battle and the breeze of

      aristocratical hostility , and bore up against the * till more formidable oh-siacle of public apathy . To be ice-bound by the freezing breath of popular indifference , is far worse than to be blow a by the gusts of tyranny upon the leeshore of political proscription . We have always objected to the duties of the Land Directory and the Chartist Executive being imposed upon the same body . It is impossible fur one set of mei to perform the duties of both offices fully and faithfully . We therefore gladly aceept any arrangement calculated t » t nsuie the proper guidance of the Chartist movement , without injuring the Land movement . It , however , must not be forgotten

      that , but for the Land Directors giving their gratuitous services , there would have been no Executive , and nothing in the shape of an organised Chartist party . It may be true that the late Executive did not do all for Chartism that ought to have been done , but that was the misfortune of its members , rather than their fault . Men as honest as Aristides , as eloquent as Demosthenes , and as devoted as Regulus , could do nothing for the peoples ' s regeneration , unless supported by the people themselves . Let us hope that the new Executive , "coming into office at a more favourable time , will not lack the necessary support for necessary action .

      ONWARD , AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL ! FHE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . ;; The stir and bustle outside of Parliament , which has this week crowded our columns so much as scarcely to leave room for our usual commentaries upon passing events , is singularly contrasted by the proceedings within 1 ' arliament . Day by day the fact becomes more palpable , that the State machine is in want of more efficient engineers , and that , unless they are speedily found , it will stop altogether . Virtually , we may almost say it has stoj ; ped , for it is impossible to look at the melancholy list of " count outs , "

      postponements , and excuses of all sorts for shirking work—which have characterised this week's proceedings—without feeling that they are tantamount to an abrogation of the duties of Government and Legislation . In the House of Lords , Lord Stanley made the Diplomatic Correspondence of LurdPalmerston with the Court of Spain , upon which we recently commented , the theme of a severe , but well-merited , castigation . The only defence offered—if defence it could he called—was , that tbe dispatch was a confidential one , and our Minister at Madrid had exceeded his instructions in sending it to

      the Spanis-h Foreign Minister . This was truly a Whiggish defence—mean , and truckling , and ungenerous . The only back-door by which they could escape , was to throw the blame upon an underling , and endeavour to screen Lord PaJmerston by sacrificing Sir H . Bulger . But even this miserable subterfuge failed them , because—hs Lord Stanley afterwards conclusively proved , by an extract from a subsequent dispatch of Lord Palmerston—that Minister formally communicated the " approbation of Her Majesty ' s Government " , ( not his own approbation , be 'it remembered , but

      the approbation of the Government ) , for the course ae had taken in the matter . When this puzzler was put to poor Lord Lansdoivne , he was p .-rfectly " dumb-foundered ' —as they say across the Tweed—and begged , for mercy ' s . ^ akp , they would say no more about it . The quarrtl was a nasty , foolish , and disagreeable one , but it was now all over ; and where was the necessity for reviving such disagreeable subjects ? Very true . But who got you into that scrape , my Lord r And if Spain

      had been a little more able to stand up for herself than she is just nuw , the people » f Eng land might have been got into the scrape too . As it is , no doubt the offence has been recorded as one of many for which , some time or other , a day of reckoning may come . It is well that Palmerston slight of hand dexteritv , which has S ived him frew detection in so many previous instances , fen * net succeeded hi throwing the public off theaeent this time , but that he shouh stand detected ? as the impertinent , meddling , and miscbifivoag coxcomb , that he really is .

      SPT / ENDIP DEMONSTRATION AND CHAR TIST PROCESSION AT LEICESTER . Feargua O'C « nner , Esq ., M . P ., visited Leicester on Monday last , and was received with great enthusiasm . It had been arranged in the course of tbe previous week , that a procession should take place op the occasion , and some of lie wealthy Tone * either were or professed to be afraid , that if it w , v aliowed tbe peace of the borough would be disturbed , and probab y their property might be injured . In consequence of these fearB a Bpecial meetins of the magistrates was held on Saturday , to consider the

      propriety of preventing the precessien . This meeting was attended bv tbe Mayor , John Bigg ^ E ^ q , who is an advocate for freedom of thought , and freedom of speech , and who , vre believe , entertained no fear of the Chartists ; and there were other liberal inagieiriWs pretext , bo many indeed as to out votf the Tories , and so the procession was not put down . To quell the feara of the timorous , however , the Chartist Council issued a emill handbill , assuring tbe public that they intended nothing at variant with pttace , law , and order , aHd requesting all who mu'bt join in the procession to do so , without either a walkinc-3 tick or cane in their handp .

      The wefctueroti Monday was esctedingly fine , and many persons from the surrounding villajep , and some from Lougbborough , a distance of eleven miles , availed tbemse ) ve 3 of the opportunity to pay their respects to the great champien of Chartism . Before two o'clock in the stterooon the people began : © assemble in Isrgi numbers in the market p ' ace , and a procession of tbe ui , fortuDate workmen , who , by the depressed state of trade have been long oat : f employ ratnt , and have been employed latterly iD breaking stoce 3 , and working at the workhouse mill for tenpenca a-day , took their stand in front of the

      Exchange-The order of the procession was j a follows : —Band engaged by the Council of the National Charter Ae fiociation—acarraigeand pair , containing Mr George Buckbyand triends—the stone breakers- ( a number of stocking makers and other 3 out of work , and who are thus employed , I suppo » e absnt 1400 ) — carriage drawn by four splendid h > r » s 8 , containing F . O'Connor , E ? q .. accompanied by a Gentleman from Lincoln , and Messrs G'een and Burton of Leicester—the Chartist Council in ehar-a-banc and pair . followed by mem bare . ' and friends the National Land Company , headed by their c > m mitteein carriage and pair , with band following ;—the trades , also headed with band—the couatry , Loiighborough taking the lead with bard , and a carriage

      containing MrSkeviDgton and frinds . it is difficult to form a correct estimate ; I have heard many and widely different calculations given ; on this one point , however , 1 think scarcely a doubt remains , namely , that no procession in Leicester , in modern times , has exceeded in numbers the one that took place on Monday last . Banners , flags , &s ., engaged by the various com panies , were distributed throughout tbe procession . The route taken was as follows;—From the Railway-station , down London-road , Belvoiratreet , Weiforl-Toid , Oxford-street , Friar-hne , Market p . ' a ^ e . ( enterirg by the Fisa Market , ) Highstrest , North Gate street , Sanvy Gate , Church Gate , BeL-rave Gate , Wondboy-stree t , WhaW-strtet . Rutland-streel , Grnnuy-streec , and tlamberstone Gate .

      Tue procession having been properly rcar « ha ! led , proceeded to the Railway-station to meet Mr O'Cen nor who arrived by the up-train at a quarter past three o ' ciock . Thousands of person were anxiouslj awaiting his arrival , and iraroeiiately on his appearance at thesta'ion d < -or he was greeted with trf-m >;« jdous cheering , clappiDg of hands , acd waving r . fhats , and m any pressed torward to bave the pleasure oi shaking him by the hand . Having taken his seat in an open carriage , drawn by four hor « ea , accompanied by Mr Green , grocer , sud Mr \ V . H Barton printer , of Leicester , and a gentleman from LincolD , the jtoeeision moved on . In all parts of the route , thf streets and windows were thronged with spectators , and Mr O'Connor was frequently greeted with enthusiastic applause . Festoons of evergreens were bung across several streets through which the pro cession pas !< ed , and at the office of the Land Company , in Church Gale , a full length portrait of Mr O'Connor was exhibited , and a motto

      Welcome , O C-nnor , Yfelcora . ! band In hand Tf itn our loved Charter , > . nd tbe smiling Land . ' was posted near te it . The portrait attracted the attention of all paasers-by ; and on the approach of the carriage in wbich MrO'Concpr rode , a n » rober of ladies appeared at the office window . and greeted him by the waving of handkerchiefs . At about half-past five o ' elocV , the procession wa 3 brought to a close in ilumberetone gtte , where many tlzou ands ef persoHS hud a ^ setnt'Ied , aad Mr O'Cbnaor , attended by the leading member * o > the Cbartist body in Leice-tttl' shire , made bis appearance on . the balcony in front of the Bell lintel , and tras r . oeired with load and lsoe continued < hs riag .

While looking at the little children of Leicester that day , he had thought of the difforrnC ' between them and the little children whose parent ? he bad placed upon tbe land , and he was now

      determined to place them all there before he stopped . He had sworn that every roan who wag now cauRine a glut in the labour market should be removed from tbe nlace where there was a surplus of hbour , and placed where fce could obtain a comfortable livelihood—as God bad commanded him— 'by th * sweat of his brow .
