We and mood that tbe Assembly met for the purpose of promoting tbe can s- of libertv , not to throw the firebrand of diswnfin our ranks . If Mr O'Connor ' s opinion had been disapproved of by the Assembly , he ought to have been treated as a gentleman , by being called on to defend that opinion . If he had committed an

      error in judgment ( which we are inclined to question ) his lonc-tried services as leader or the movement ought to have induced the Assembly to have treated him with more courtesy and respect than it fcas thought fi t to do . - ' That this meeting , h . vug Wtehed the conduct of fr-argus 0 Connor , Esq ., SI P ., during the long period he has been struggling for the rig hts and liberties of the labouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland , he is justly entitled 10 OCCUpy the position he has so proudly filled ji leader oJ the democracy of Great Britain ; and this meetm * having the greatest confidence in bis honour , integrity , and judgment , consider that he would not b- justified iu reigning the trust reposed in him , at the call or bidding of any Assembly but

And be it further resolved , that we look upon the Northern Star as the harbinger of truth and freedom , and which oujjht to be supported by every lover of libariy throughout Europe ; and that the best thanks o " this meeting are hereby g iven to those gentltmei connected mth the Star establishment , j or tbe noble and able stand made by them in defence of the people's rights , against misrule and oppression * And we finally avow our fixed determination not to g ive any more support to tne

We likewise feel called upon to profess our entire confidence in the judgment and integrity of Mr O'Connor , and to express our determination to work with him for the attainment of our political rights , a 3 leag as his actions continue to merit our approval find applause .

      Wec ' onut intend to firiret the manifold dangers th « t our tried atfd trusted leader * have so long conducted us through , with equal Safety and honour tn both parties ; we do not forget your fcrvicts in 18 X 9 and 18 * 2 , when , but for your wiodom and foresight , tbe movement must have infallibly b ' . en orok n ui > , thrmVh the treiicbery or those tf ho goaded the people to a pitch little short of insanity .

      MANIFESTO OP THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE . "All men are born equal . " Jl All men should ba political ? eqoal . " " The will of tho majority xhould be law . " " All laws made by the majority should he law , " " All law made by the minority should be null and void . " ——AJAViDPOTrt CXI ? TUR V . XV . CJITJVF

      The National Assembl y having been elected by Universal Suffrage , and admitted to be a fair representation of Chartist mind and opinion , have elected us provisionally to carry their will into practical effect , we feel it our duty to address the people in plain terms on their present position and future prospects ; we therefore appeal to you to practice conciliation to others , and charity among yourselves , in the expression of opinion , and to remember that knowledge and union are power .

      Divide and conquer is tbe maxim of your enemies—union and strength are the requisites for the people . We have witnessed with feelings of regret , that the press has chuckled over the idea of imaginary division among the true friends of the people , at a time when a weak government between concession to the popular will , and a morbid adhesion to a system more to be feared than Russian despotism . We call on all men who have the weal of their country at heart , to stand by the truth of the principles of the Charter , and rally around the standard of freedom . Remember your old niottf *—

      -ONWARD AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL ! Abstract principles , true in themselves , are lost to the present and future welfare of mankind , if practical steps be not taken to reduce principles of admitted worth to a working realisation . . ¦ ' Already you have signed numerous petitions , and the Imperial Parliament have laughed at y our wrengs and insulted your miseries . You are many—your oppressors are few—union on your part is weakness to your enemies . England increases in wealth and misery ; annuitants , landowners , bankers and capitalists grow rich , and the labourers—who are the producers of all—starve and die of hunger and want .

      The National Assembly are now about to present the People ' s Memorial to the Queen . We call on the people to support that expression of their will . The National Petition has been received with insult . We exhort you to strengthen the hands of the Assembly , your representatives , and of the Executive , your servants , on this momentous occasion . Display the undivided power of your

      cooperation and organisation ; let not faction shield itself under the idea of a partial support . This Memorial is the peoples will—let the people be prepared to avow it as such . The National Assembly—your veritable representatives—haveagveed to a Plan of Organisation , at once correct in principle and efficient in detail , and wait for the support of the good men and true of England , Scotland , and Ireland ,

      Grant us but your aid , and the long and protracted agitation for political rights will be brought to a close , our country take its place among the free nations of Europe , and an acknovrledgament of the rights of man be the standing motto of national greatness , and the permanent security of the State . I gWe address you as the Provisional Committee , elected by the National Assembly , subject to your will , and waiting for your approval and support .

      The "Liberty Fund "—a proposition to raise by voluntary subscription the sum of ten thousand pounds—will , itself , be a practical test of your sincerity . Give us but the means , and the end is sure . The harvest depends on the seed-time , nnd the ultimatum of the people's hopes on their self-sacrifice and devotion to the great cause of human right . We acknowledge no power but to the people—we owe no allegiance but to the people , - we are their servants—they , our masters . ^

      Be united , and will to be free . A nation ' s voice must rule . Support your friends in the hour of trial . Remember the glorious watchword of your French neighbours , "Voxpopuli , vox Dei—the voice of the people is the voice of God !'' Up , then , fellow countrymen—to your duty . Organise , organise , organise ! Enrol , enrol , enrol ! Let us have one million of men , organised according to our plan , and we shall proclaim the Charter ! Yours , in the cause of Charti « m and Fraternity ,
