My approyal u not based on oonsideraUons of eheapnai , 1 abhor the cheap and mstyt system .

      . If the acts of the newExeflutive have not yet SSi ^ tV M ? 0 ' Teiyrtriking , I can at any rate testify that the actiTe members ( those residing in the metropolu , ) have not been idle . Clearly the first prat need was the production of a wb « O 8 of organbation . That hat blea accompliihed ; It » true that the task was not one of great diffi . cuity . seeing that the Birmingham meeting had preyiouslyre ^ doptedthe oWplanoforJianiBatien . sub . jeot to any amendments the new Exeoutive might devise ; From the reports whwh have appeared in this journal , the Chartist brotherhood will have seen that the said amendments have been the subjeot of anxious deliberation at the weekly meetings of the Exeouhte . The Star of the 2 nd instant contained T

      the amended " plan / It appears that that ' plan' has been generally approved of . Its formal , adoption by all the looalities u , I presume , already an accomplished fact . If it ! ?~ error »— " in ome . plaoes—feif' or manythe plan' has not yet been dismissed and adopted , ' I earnestly urge the trne demoerats of those places to set to their work without delay . ; Valuable time is flying-time which should be devoted to the work of preparation . Unless the working men of this country are willing slaves , 18 i 9 must see the Chartist forces agtm in action . Kin any place , where weekly meetings / of Chartuts are holden , the new plan of organisation his not been adopted ; let it bo adopted at the Very next meeting . Whemer-reither from puWio Rpattiy , or the want of tweeting accommodation—regular meetings are not at preient holden . let the best men of

      that pjaoe , —two or three trill suflBce for a beginning , —come together , and resolve to lay the foundation of the organisation in their town " or distriot . To merely sanotion the plan will , however ' , be of little semoe . The rule * must be at once put into ope ration , and alidei by . The 4 th and 5 th rules should be ever present to the minds of the active and Ieadragmembersof theAnociaeQn . The Executive must bo powerless . unlessproiided withthsmiBBng of action .

On the 16 th of April the bourgeoisie came forth in their trne colours aa the enemies of tha Damooratio Republic The workmen ^ had auembled , on the Champs de'Msn to nominate fourteen offioers of the staff of the . National Guard .,.. Their standards were flying ^ with the mottoes of February : . Abolition of the . SwKrviency . of Labour , to oilier mien ' s profit * !' ' Organisation of labour !?

In the meantime , the bourgeoisie were circulating the most absurd rumours throughout Paris . It was reported that the' CoinmuniiU- ( the fourjww * thus designated the workmen ) had attaoked the Hotel de

      yuie , setnre touurotei aesinvaiidee , were fighting in the Faubourg JSt Antoine , and pillaging in the Faubourg ^ St Germain ., ' . Thece perfidious reports had the intended effect . The city was thrown into a state of paaio , a panio whioh even reached the Ministry of the Interior . Lxoru Rouin ordered the rtppdto be beaten in all the quarters of Paris . A fatal blunder . ' There is no doubt that the dsmectatid Minister , acted under the influence' of wrong impressiona , derived from false information ; but , though uraest ,. he was guilty of an error , for whioh since then both himself and his friends have smarted . . I am no admirer of the maxim , that' a political blunder is worse than a political onme ; ' nevertheless I must * ooncede , ihat in politics the blunder of a good man may be aa productive of evil as the crime of a villain . . ' . ' .,

      . The effect of the mistake of ordering the beating oj » e rapptl , was to . marshal the National Guards Bgainst the workmen . Battalion after battalion poured fiom sill parta of Paris to the Hotel de Ville . The procession of workmen adyanciDg fwm the Champa de Man along the quays , * found the Qardt Nationals and Garde Mobile drawn up in hostile array , and filling all the approaches to the Hotel de Ville . This occasioned great dissatisfaction amongst the workmen , and a report that Loyfr Buxo had been asiauioated excited the most intense , agitation . Seeing , however , that the intentions of the unarmed workmen were evidently pure and peaceful , Generals Coubtais and Duvtvnit ordered the armed forces to

      opena passage to allow the column which had arrived from the Champa de Mara to file off before the members of the Provisional Government . Some fifty individuals on the steps of the Hotel de Ville never ceased crying . 'Vive la Republiquel ' ' Dotm with the Communists / ' cries which were more or leu repeated by the National Guard . ThUmattsttvw , attributed to Milord Miami , split the people intotvo parties . The workmen cried , ' Long live the Democratic Rapublio 1 ' ' Long live Louu Blanc !'' Long live Lirou Rouw !'

      oommenoed the Social Republic—that is , the Re . public of Justice , in France , —and launched the Revolution 'Democratiquo et Sooiale' upon the aurroundiBg nations , then it might have been policy to have delayed the elections .

      THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO -THIS * CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Feliow CovKTaYUEN , —The position ;; of . -trust ' which we now hold in the'Democratic movement by virtue of your confidence and respect , and the duties , imposed upon us by the acceptance of that trust , require that we should , at the outset of our labours , have a distinct and clear understanding with you as to the amount of support which you are prepared to > give us in our efforts to advance that political faith ' which we conjointly entertain , and to the adoption of which we look for the salvation of labour , and tlis establishment of laws agreeable to justice and . humanity . , . .. "' . '

      Recent as well as passing events on the continent ^ of Europe , and also in America , strongly incline M ; , to the belief that upon the English people will it ' yet : devolve to carry into-practice the actuality ofD 6 i ~ ~ mocracy ; that to the deep and thoughtfal ' infnd jtf ' ^ England will the triumphant success of Universalh ' Suffrage yet be owing . That to the peaceful , " but ^ sure growth of opinion in these islands , will trittt and toleration yet owe their establishment . With these impressions strong . upon our minds , we have . determined to recommence the struggle for Right , . with all the vigour and capacity we can command , and to employ every proper and legitimate mode of operation in furtherance of that object . We are

      prepared to do all that we can do , and we now require from you some earnest of your intentions . We have duties to perform , and those duties we will perform , but if we are to be at all successful , yoa must also take upon yourselves yonr own share of the good work . We will direct and pay , each of tu according to' hh ability ; and we require that each ofj you to whom we now address ourselves should forthwith , each one according to his means , put us in possession of funds , to enable us to commence a campaign of agitation , so that eur oppressors may be instantly awakened from the delusive sleep of security , into which unfortunate circumstances and out apathy have allowed them to repose .

      We propose to you , Chartists , ¦— ' Old Guards 'who have never been found wanting—sentinels who have never slept at your posts—to rally again t—to upraise once more , higher and prouder than ever , the banner which has aever been sullied—the flag which has never yet been' struck' — to renew your fealty to the' good old cause , ' and to march again a 3 you were wont to do , with the cry of the' Charter , ' the great and sacred' Charter , ' to the familiar tune of ' ¦ We'll rally areund it , agate and again '

      —to meet injustice and beard it , with the bearing ol men , conscious of suffering wrong , and with the greatpnrpose of beating down injustice—to act a part in the cunning times , worthy of the genius of Labour , and to raise up in this laud of wrong a Temple , whose ample porch shall be open to all those ., children , of our country , who know « Old England' only as the place ol their birth , and the grave of their hopes 1 . ¦ < ¦ ¦ : ; , ¦¦'¦ ¦ .:. - . NEW YEAR ' S GIFT . ....

      Amoie fitting time than the approaching new year could not , we think , be selected for opening the intended campaign . By the expiration of this year , the law ' s terrors will have done their worst . Before the last day of 1848 , the dungeon ' s door will , we fear , have closed upon some of the best , truest , and bravest of our comrades . The trials at Chester and Liverpool , exhibit clearly what is the animus of those with whom we have to ; deal , and if we would ; show ourselves men , just at the time when the enemy imagines he has Btruck us down , uuch time is exactly the moment when we ought again to start into renewed life , and show such signs of energy and determination , as will convince the miserable delinquent faction , who now persecute ui , that we still live — that we still dare , and that we will ultimately conquer . Let all , then , who » ijb

      us well , aid us with the most efficient of weaponsthe pence . We propose a New Year ' s Gift for the Charter—what more needed ? We invite every sincere friend of freedom to contribute his mite . We call upon all . councils , committees , and localities , , id make , preparations for the collection of the 'New Year ' s Gift . ' Noinanis so poor but that he can give something . We are aware that there a * e other funds , and other calU , but amidst those « alla and funds , the Charter must not be forgotten .: Ii we arejto be an acting body , we must have support , and that support yen can g ' myif youhaye thewill to do so .

      , THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY .-EXPULSION OF MEMBERS . At a meeting of the Hawiok branch of the National Land Company the following address waa adopted : — . 1 XO THE DKUOATSS OP IHB UTS COKFSBKNCB ANB MSUBKBS OF THB NATIOXAL UKB COUPANT . ' Bbeihbbn , —The benefioial results that woula flow from the auooessful issue of the . National Land Company made the oppressed artisan fly to It aa a refuge and a home from the false and iniquitous competitive system in whioh necessity had forced hint to drag out a precarious existence . When the infant institution was first ushered , into being by its ' benevolent founder , its aspect was oomely and .-was ad * mired by thousands of the dowa-trodden and

      emaciated sons of Labour , till it beoami a Heronlei in stature , and threw into the shade all other compit * nies . Let not the anticipations of the industrious poor be disappointed . Taking a survey of the parahaed state of our manufacturing operations , and the thousands of unwilling idlers that roam , our streets , and thousands that have been but partially employed , and the privations that must have been felt by their familisa in oosBoquenee , make us . ' the members oS the Hawiok branch of the National Land Company , feel ounelves placed in rather a painful poiition by the Btringent . rule adopted by the late Confetence relative to . the expulsion of members by being a quar * ier in arrears . Now we hold that owing to the preoa * rious nature of our . employment we feel it to be a

      severe blow towards our : poorer brethren , who cons pose the majority of the present Company ; Thera weuld have been fewer objections to the rule had there been an exoeptlbp . allowed In case of »! ckie « a or the want of employmsnt , but in its present aspect it will throw without its pale many thousands who looked upon it as tha , anchor of their hopes , to save them from the insults , and . contumely heaped upon them by parochial boards in their deolining ; yean . We also hold the opinion that whatever amonnt of money is paid in by membera is a benefit to the Company . Unpaid . up . membBrs pay theie than of expenses . No inter «« t is allowed for th « amount the y may have paid : they . omnot withdraw

      their money , neither ia there any land purchased for , them , consequently , by being allowed to remain members , the Company are gainers by the amount they pay but never can be'losers , or be injured by them . According to the prinoiple that the Company was formed upon , expulsion of its membera would be an aot of injustice towards the poor . ' I Hoping theae plain » t » teminto , penned in the beat spirit , may be the means of drawing the attention of the offioe-beawrsand members generally of the Gom « pany , so that some alteration or modification of tia rule referred to may be brought about , ia tha cants wish of the members of the Hawick branch oltfcl Nutional Land Company ; IBy orttet of the general meeting , I ' Anawn Haia , Sffitfefti
