John O'Conjjeix's exhibition at Conciliation Hall , where he denounced , . w ^| . and the Land Company , by irlnch J hare cndeaTonred to eleTate English Elaves to a

      . state of freedom ; but if his father had applied the people ' s money to locating the people ¦ of Ireland in their own homesteads , on their own labour-field—then Ireland , instead of being one great GOLGOTHA , as now , would represent a bnsy hire of indusixiou 3 Lees . This young gentleman charges me with having declared myself in favour of separation , at the recent meeting in Dublin , though I would take care to eat my words , if challenged with the expression in the House of Commons . Gentlemen of his character have short memories , . or he would have recollected that I used the very same words in the House of Commons , in 1848 ; and , upon being challenged by Lord Johx UcssEix upon the subject , I-repeated

      iheiii . There are some men who will talk , boastingly , of " dying upon the floor of the House for their country /* but who , nevertheless , live npon the credulity of their countrymen . At the Dublin meeting I expressed my disapprobation of all antagonism , and sought to unite the several sections of the Irish minds to secure the redemption of the Irish people ; but , alas' my countrymen , as long as agitators live and prosper upon deception , so long will the Irish mind remain in a state of degradation ; but , irom that holy union which is now being cemented , I anticipate such a thorough developement as -will compel the English Government to yield to doubt—I will not say fear—what they refuse to justice .

      My countrymen , within the week I have attended such meetings as you never saw in Ireland , in the great manufacturing districts of this conntry—at Bradford , Halifax , Sheffield , and Derby ; and although trade is good in those several towns , I never witnessed greater harmony and union than now prevails amongst the best employed . The mind of England is now so instructed and improved that it bases its policy , not upon the mere temporary satisfaction that does exist , bnt upon the permanent comfort that should be established . And

      not the least pleasure that I derived from those tast gatherings was , that the greatest syni-- , pathy was expressed for tfie Irish ja&qple , and ihe firmest resolution to co-operate with tltem in the good work of regeneration . ily countrymen , you will have gained wisdom from the speech of Mr . Grattax , delivered at the meeting recently held at the Ttotunda , where he openly declared that he had heen offered £ 5 , 000 for a vote in Parliament

      and you will not be astonished at such a declaration , when you understand that vote 3 in the Irish Parliament , to carry the Union , cost not thousands , but millions of money . But , Ir ishmen , as I never despond or despair as long as the Irish mettle and Irish spirit can he aroosed—not to madness , but to wisdom , organisation , and union—I hope , ere long , to see my native land " the envy and admiration of surrounding nations . " I ask you again ,

      whether the most fanciful or acute minister can point out a greater anomaly—nay , agreater absurdity—than idleland , idle labour , idle money in a fertile country , with fertile laud , a genial climate , and uaemployed labour ? And yet tLis anomal y has been based upon Irish misrepresentation , and English dominion , based upon Irish disunion . M . j countrymen , again assuring you that Mining Avill give me greater pleasure than to attend the meeting at Castlecomer , I remain , in spite of persecution and slander , Yonr Faithful and Devoted Countryman , Feabgus O'Connor .

      TO FEARGUS O'COX >* OH , ESQ ., M . P . P ear Sib , —Heing at a mec-iing on the evening of Iriday , the . 14 th instant , called for the furtherance 0 : the Suffolk Freehold Land Society , my attention , and the attention of the meeting , were unexpectedly called to listen to a most unfair attack upon you and the National Land Scheme , -which interference I was then compelled to notice , and which has caused a few friends of the Charter to wait upon E ; e and request me to inform vou thereof . On referring to the Suffolk Chronicle , I fiud that the same speaker , Air . " James Taylor , the founder of the plan , made a statement of a similar nature at a meeting held in the Temnerance Ball , Ipswich , on Tuesday week .

Be wished also to dislingiiisli the operations of

      this Society from the operaUons of another Society , winen was called a Land Society . He wished the meeting to understand that they did not appropriate , nor hare title deeds made out to themselves —( hear , hear)—they were not the parties to use . the . money of the shareholders and apply it to their own personal benefit and advanUige . They did not profess to make promise * , to give two acres of land , a house ; and £ 20 or £ 30 M 6 fhe hai ^ aiii , ' aSa Tairfor , ' £ 2 [ 14 j . Theydidnotintendtpput themselves in . such . a position ilfilraJnrV ' of the&'Munflymeiishoula say they had swindled the people out ot £ 112 , 000 . ( Hear , hear . ) lie wished tnmake that nLser ration because their Institution had been

      confounded with another . And the most wicked thing of all was , that the Times newspaper attempted to stab the movement by saying the working classes were being deluded by it in the very same manner that they had hem by the Institution to which he had alluded . The Standard also attacked them in the like spirit , telling them that they were deluding the people , only in a more decent and orderly manner , and chiating them of their money . The Britannia , too , declared that they were nothing more than a gang of begrars , be * ginj ; the working classes to contribute to the funds , and it said it was for no other , purpose than to deceive the working classes under the plea that they were their political friends . The fact was they were the last men in the world to ask or beg of any class in the community ; their object was to inculcate the principle of self-depen * dence , to inculcate the principle that when a man could

      obtain a thing for himself never to ask nothing for it . ( Hear , hear , and applause . ) At all events , if that was begging , then thej would not cease to beg until they had increased the number of freeholders , so as to cause the fiftytwo counties to make their representatives take the side of the people in the House of Commons , and sec that justice was done to them , ( Applause . ) Before he left home he had received a tract , from an anonymous writer , which he believed had been extensively circulated in order to mar the progress of the Institution . In one place the tract declared that the ol-ject of the society was , in an underhand way . to induce men to rob their employers . ( Laughter . ) It said that the society told these men tbey did not care how they obtained property so that it was obtained ; whether by the plunder of employers , or by murder , they did not care —( loud laughter )—so long as they got a vote . He

      stood there to repudiate snch a foul assertion , and to declare , from lus very soul , that if lie thought huch a base act as robbing his employers would be performed by the humblest individual in the society , who thus wished to raise himself in the scale of society , his protestation should be carried on against thatiudividual until he was l » oth denounced and exposed . They stood on the broad principle that he who wished to better Vis position in life was not the man to rob his employer , or be jjuilty of theft in any way ; on the contrary , that he was tlie man likely to become more moral Ul all his aCU , to pay the strictest regard to all transactions in life , and to fet ) a tenfold interest in the well-being of all classes of his fellow creatures . In another part of the tract it was stated that the society was opposed to the principles for which their forefathers bled . He had never known before that their forefathers

      Wed for other than the principles they were advocating ; they did not bleed , because they were opposed to an extension of the suffrage , or because they did not wish the productive classes to obtain their rights as men and citizens . ( Hear , hear . ) If their principle * were opposed , it was not because they desired to malce the working classes wiser and better men , in the several relations of life , but simply because there was a vote attached to the movement . ( Hear , near . ) If there was no vote connected with the Society , if that fact could be forgotten by any maa . liuweier exalted his position , or whatever his political opinions , he would be the man te come forward and stand upon their platforms , and advocate their principles . ( Applause . ) He had merily referred to the tract just to show the animus of those who opposed the Society ; the best argument they could employ against it was that they had a

      desire to induce men to rob their employer ^ , commit murder and arson . ( Laughter . ( Well , as regarded the objects ef the Society , he had no need to go throuth the rules again , / for jvhen he was here some time ago-lie had the pleasure of explaining them at length . ~ And lie was happy to tell them that the newspaper press , both provincial and metropolitan , from the north of England to the south , had published , the observations which he made then , and the result was that more than forty applications were before him , to visit various towns in the kingdom . And here let him thank the editcr of the Suffolk Chronicle , in the name of the working men , and in the name of the members of their societies , for the very full reporthe gave of the meeting , and for the manner in which he had supported the objects of the society , both before and since . But while there was no need to go through the rules he might still

      remind them that , if at any time thoy wished to leave the society , they could do so , and have their money back , except Cd . per share per quarter , to defray the working expenses ; or , if they chose , they could transfer their shares to any one else , and make the best bargain they could for themselves . He understood the shares in Ipswich were at !! 3 s- premium , and lie was satiifioil that the purchase they had made , of nearly 100 acres of land , was highly advantageous to their interests . He had had the pleasure of walking over it in the morning , and as diehard Cobden bad requested him to sec what the people of Ipswich were doing— { applause }—for lie had entertained but little hopes of extending the movement into the agricultural districts , he should have the pleasure of repeating favourable of what had been done . ( Hear ; hear . ) He understood they had paid for the 98 acres of land something less than * . 'd . per square yard , and that each allotment would consist of

      about one-third of an acre of land . 3 Ir . Taylor , in proceeding to expatiate upon thepolitical , social , and moral , advantage of the movement , gave a resume of his address on a former occasion , observing that in every point of view lie knew of nothing that could excel the investment . Referring to the constitution and character of the House of Commons , he stated that out of the 15 !) county members for England , Uti had no sympathy whatever with the great mass of the people , and since his last visit to Ipswich the premier had declared that the working classes were utterly unfit for the exercise of the franchise . He contended from these facts that it was a useless task to petition for an extension of the Suffrage , and that the only means of accomplishing tlieir object was , through the medium of the Freehold Land Scheme . He concluded with an earnest appeal to his hearers to support the movement , and resumed bis seat amidst loud applause .

      Now I thank my friend for sending me the spcecK of Mr . James Taylor , and , as the cansure of slaves is adulation , I have no little pleasure in rmblishinp- it . This LAND

      TKAMP PEDLAE — this AGRICULTUHAL SPECULATOR—has more than once had the use of the columns of the Slnr to ad-\* ertise his goods ; and when I met him at Aylesbury , which was the fitting opportunity for this speculator to have explained my Land Man upon the platform , in my presence , he was mute . This fellow tells you that all the provincial papers , without exception , uphold and laud Iris Land Scheme , while one and all reprobate mine . The very fact which should damage his Plan , and recommend mine . Does ttiis philanthropist devote his unpaid services to the carrying out of his Plan ? Have his accounts ever been audited ? And if they were audited , would they stand before the public as mine do ?

      This ass , that wouldn't know a cucumber from a handsaw , tells his hearers that I promised to give my dnpes two acres of Land , a house , and ; £ 20 or ^ £ 30 into the bargain ; and all for £ 2 14 s . Can there be a greater pest to society than a corrupt and wilful ti&T ? "W as not this juggler aware that my Plan was based upon the principle of co-operation—that I was to huy and sell the Ltrnd , and to go on locating the members by the return of their money . Is he aware , that when I was at Great Dodford , several of his dupes waited upon me to have my opinion as to whether or no they could receive then-monies that had been paid to him , back again , for the purpose of investing them ia my Company , and that I refused all counsel and advice , as I would not offer an antagonism to any project ?

      Header , peruse the following sentences , if you can , without laughter , that- I extract from the speech of this philanthropist : " Iteferring to the constitution and character " of the House of Commons , ho stated that " out of the 159 County Members of I ^ ng land , " 146 had no sympathy whatever vcitli the " great mass of the people ; and since his last " visit to Ipswich , the Premier had declared " that the working classes were utterljjUufit " for the exercise of the franchise . He = con" tended from these facts , that it was J £ jtsp . " less task to petition for an . extension o&jthe " suffrage , and that the only means , of ac $ 6 mv

Sir , —Enclosed you will find two certificates of four shaves each ; be pleased to have them cashed , and apply their value to defraying the costs of actions which the law has put upon your shoulders . The holders of the abeve scrip think you have a right to their funds , to be indemnified for all losses sustained by you in the attempt of rescuing the impoverished labourer from his wrecked condition , if the assistant of a wrecked ship lias a right to be indemnified for losses sustained even in ° an attempt in rescuing her inmates . ¦ W ithout flattery , we cannot less than admire tho fortitude which you have borne the ingratitude of those whom you have cared the most for . Yours ever truly , John E . Jonks , Broad-street , Jaiiez Je . vkins , Market-piace . Merthyr Tydvil , March 19 .

      M y friends , the enclosure of your scrips , amounting to £ 1012 s ., for the discharge of my legal expenses , gives me no little pleasure , and convinces me that I have not laboured in vain for the grateful members of the Land Company ; -while , at the same time , you will , I am sure , pardon me , if I decline to appropriate so large an amount , coming from two working men , to defray a nation ' s debt . The scrip shall remain in my hands , and when the Company is wound up , you , I trust , together with others , will receive twenty shillings in the pound for what you have paid . Your Faithful and Thankful friend , Fbargus O'Connor .

      mXpung Irelanders ; wouia- ' be pWowi ^ and mf ^ m ^ f ^^^ ^^ yiMi \^ Mii feudal jealousy would cease' to exist , and- the work could be accomplished . ' Ho briefly stated ; in impressive words , the grievances that- existed and required to be remedied , but could not actually devise any plan for attaining the measures required ; for , by petitioning a hostile House of Parliament , it was superfluous—by soliciting tho landlords to reduce the lands to an equitable and fair rent , it was nonsense ; as for gagging and putting down land-jobbers , it was quite impossible ; but , in coneluding , he ( Mr . Lawler ) said it was a bad right to have dogs loose , and stones tied , and that the gaining of the people ' s freedom depended on the people themselves , for the work required to be done , and that by tlie people .

      Mr . Oabkoll ( a great O'Connellite ) next came forward , spoke in a strong manner respecting tlie intrigues of landlordism , and proclaimed aloud to the people to tell the landlords that they would not submit to them longer , that the end of tyranny was drawing nigh , and if their grievances wero not abolished , that they would go straight forward , boldly and fearlessly , in demanding anvi obtaining their rights ; and now , as the clergy was joining the people once for all , that they the clergy was determined to go with the people , to stand by the people , and be with the peeple ; and , therefore , the people should not dread the government .

      The Rcy . Mr . O'Kkkffr next addressed the meeting , in an eloquent and impressive manner . lie commenced by reading Sir William Somerville ' s Tenant-right 15 ill , and condemned every article of the same in detail , as being in favour of the landlord and injurious to the tenant . Mr . William Campion , of Chatawovth , then addressed the mooting . The Rev . Mr . 0 Shea—the great originator and founder of the Tenant Movement—spoke in fervent ,

      eloquent , and impressive language , and said liia mission was the banishing ; tho touds and reptiles ! of the land that St . Patrick forgot , when banishing them of old . lie pronounced all sorts of deprecations , evils , and abominations against land-jobbers , told tho people that the days of tyranny were nearly nt an end , that the clergy or the people would never swerve from the cause until all tyranny should be abolished , and that their desires would be shortly accomplished , if tho entire people would be only unanimous .

      The Rev . Mr . Aylward , P . P ., of Castlecomer , concluded the meeting . On Mondaymorning , at an interview with the Rev . Mr . Aylward , and other clergymen of the meeting , respecting the cause of Democracy , I explained to them the intent , purpose , and cause of our society . Every roan of them concurred with me , and said that they were democrats , arid . . that the pintform should not be taken down from the front of the , chapel until I ¦ would write , to the proprietor of the Irishman , letting him know

      that they yore . unanimous in agreeing to' have a monsterJOepocratio / meeting heTd . ln Castlecomer , and'' tliat 'they ' . wb ' ujjirreceivo ^ Feargus /¦ O'Connor tliere Es ^ afrientf ^ "tnet ^ cause , and to the common eause of the country , and that they believed there would be 11 , 000 members enrolled on the day of meeting ; so you must think that Castlecomer has got a great change for the better , and that there was never a wider field open for the cause of Democracy , and for the strength of its organisation . Feargus O'Connor will be received with open arms . —( From a Correspondent . )

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . i , Christ Church-street , Preato » , March 22 nd , 1800 . HoxouitED Sib , —I am desired by the Short Time Committee of this town , to return you their thanks for your able support of Lord Ashley , and also to forward you ft few copiea of a letter . extracted from the Preston Chronicle , March 16 th , believing it will be of service in the cause of the Factory . Rill . I remain , yours on behalf of tho Committee , John Bowman , Secretary .

      THE SHIFT AND RELAY SYSTEM . The Secretary of tho Manchester Association of Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers having forwarded a copy of their petition in favour of an Eleven Hours Bill , ari «! of a legalisation of the Shift and Relay System , to W . Ainswortli , Esq ., the Honorary Secretary of the Preston Association , requesting the support of the Preston cotton spinners to the prayer of the petition , that gentleman returned the following reply , which was published in tho Preston Chronicle of the 10 th of March . It will be seen that , after duo consideration of tho matter , " all the most influential of the master spinners and manufacturers of Preston are , without a single exception , opposed to that movement , " and in favour of the bill introduced by Lord Ashley . This decision cannot but have its influence on Parliament and the country : — Preston , 14 th March , 1850 .

      Sin . —I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of the 13 th inst ., and in reply beg to state that I lmve seen several of our most influential master spinners and manufacturers , and they are all , without a single exception , opposed to the movement recommended by the Association . The mill-owners generally of this town and neiglibourhootl , nre decidedly opposed to the system of working by shifts , or relays , as not only impolitic , but oppressive to the operatives—leaving women and .

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . It is now evident , from tho announcement made by Mr . O'Connor in the House of Commons , and also by the Directors , through the Star , that the affairs of the Company will be wound up : this I am not sorry for , as the discontented portion of those who have reaped all the benefits tbafc they ever were promised , or I firmly believe ever expected they should receive from the Company , has placed it in that position that there is a necessity for winding it Up , as it must noir be evident to all concerned that confidence 's so completely destroyed amongst the great majority that we cannot

      progress much further . But I still think that a great number of the members care little for tho price of their shares , provided they saw the principle fully and faithfully tested , and thereby prove to the world that the opposition < riVen by the press and others was of an interested nature ; and also that the principles propounded by Mr . O'Connor , if adhered to , were not Utopian , but sound in principle if honestly tried . For these reasons I think that an opportunity ought to be given , in tho winding up of the Company , to those so inclined , to purchase one of the estates with the scrip which they hold . If this could be done , they could either form themselves into a joint-stock company , or vest their

      property in an individual , in whom they had entire confidence , for their behoof , so that we might be allowed an opportunity of previns to the country that we were right , and that the Whistlers , the Bradshaws , the Roebucks , and all the other curs that were barking at our heels were wrong , and that the great propouiider of the Land Scheme was right . This , in my opinion , is worthy of a trial , as it would prove also that the working classes Of this country were not the gullible creatures that parties would make them appear ; that there were men of discrimination amongst them , who , as Sergeant Wilkins Stated in his speech , were as far BeeinK

      as Mr . 'Roebuck was / andalso were able tp teaeh him on many subjects , "both of a social and political nature , which induces me still more to make this proposition as the fact , that if the land be brought into the market , with the stigma of these villains branded upon it , it will , as a matter of course , sell at a price far below what it cost the Company . So in this the curs will have another opportunity of assailing Mr . O'Connor . Trusting that members holding similar views to myself upon this question will think over the subject , and see if a plan cannot be put forward which will leave us in a position of proving the truth of our principles ,

      I am , gentlemen , yours faithfully , Duncan Sherkikotok . Glasgow , "March 25 th . My excellent and talented friend , Duncan Shesrington , who is not only an ornament to his class , but to society , may rest assured that 110 recommendation coming from him will be sli ghtly treated b y me ; and , therefore , his ablo suggestions shall have my best and fullest consideration .

      PRESENTATION OP A SILVER SNUFF BOX TO W . J . VERNON , BY THE DEMOCRATS OF MARYLB 13 OME . On Monday evening , March 25 th , the large room of the Rock Tavern , Lissongrove , was crowded to excess , by democrats who wore anxious to testify their esteem and regard to their persecuted friend and advocate , Mr . Vernon . A substantial and excellent supper was provided , which having been done justice to , Mr . George Hitchin was called to the chair . Over the chairman was suspended % beautiful banner , on which w ; is inscribed " Emiiietfc Brigade ; " " What is Life without Liberty . " The Chairman said : The business for which they had met was to pay the honour due to their friend

      Yernon , whose services were duly appreciated by that meeting —( cheers)—and it would appear equally well by the government ; for no sooner had he exhibited his zeal and devotion to the cause of-, tha people , than the government offioera pou ' n'ccd upon him , caused him to be convicted , sind' sentenced him to a long and cruel incarceration in Tot'hillfields Prison . ( Hear , hoar .- ) In addition to ? tha presenting a testimonial to Sir . Vernon , they were desirous of promoting that' cause for which Mr . Vernon had suffered . ( Loud cheers . ) IIo congratulated their friend Stallwood on being sufficiently recovered to be amongst them , and he had much pleasure in calling on him to jjive the first sentiment . " The . .. Sovereign People . "; ' ( Loud cheers ' . ) ' - ' ' ' ' ¦• : '

      ' Mr . Stalmvood briefly , yet ably , dilated om the meaning and bearing of the words '^ Sovereign Peo « pie , " and stated his belief , that-government by , and for the people , was the only system thai ; could ensure the prosperity and Happiness of the masses ; - and that the best and shortest mode of obtaining this desirable result , was by joining the " National Charter Association , " smd thus obtain political rights , which should be looked on , and oxerciacd so as to procure social rights and the fullilmeiit of man ' s social duties . ( Loud cheers . ) Having invoked the assistance of the men of Alaryiebone in general , and of the enthusiastic " Emmett Brigade " ! u particular , Mr . Stallwood resumed his seat loudly applauded .

      The Chairman then gave the second sentiment" W . J . Vernon , and all inc . ircer . ited and expatriated democrats ; " at tho same time presenting im appropriate address , expressive of their sympathy for his sufferings , and their admiration ot his undaunted patriotism ; and then placed in Mr . Vernon ' 3 hands the address and : i » elegant snuff-box , of a quarter oi'a pound weight . Mr . Vkkxos rose , evidently labouring under strong emotions , and was greeted with the most hearty and . prolonged cheering . He said , he could but think any services he had yet been enabled to render them was but small , whilst their tribute of respect was large . He had entered into a compact with the peoole when he was elected their delegate

      at Cumberland-market , and had endeavoured to fulfil hia portion of the agreement . With such services as he had rendered , they appeared to be satisfied , and were giving ample proof that they wore determined to fulfil theirs by supporting and' rewarding him . ( Loud cheers . ) lie , perhaps , was somewhat " high burnt , " aud it might be , tbafc events in France had somewhat excited him ; but , be that as it may , he believed at the time—184 S —< that the people could enforce their rights . He believed lie had the people with him . llo meant what he then said , and was prepared to take the consequences which might resulc cither in success or failure ; and he hoped it was no treason to tell the world what be thought and meant in 18-iS . Hear , hoar . ) However , he was now on bail to be

      of good behaviour to everybody for three years—( laughter)—and it was not for him to talk of physical force in 1 S 50 . AHhoujh he could not say that his opinions had undergone any chango as to the right of the people to employ certain means to obtain thoir undoubted political rights , yet , iitthis particular juncture of our affairs , lie tlicuglid moral means tho most adequate , and moral appeared to him only to apply that which was right ; he trusted that they would follow tlio excellent advice ot their friend Stallwood . ( Loud chuers . ) Organise themselves , and then ( hey would ! m-o tho means of knowing what thsy really wantedpolitically and socially—whom they could act with , and the best means' sind time of obtaining what they required . ( Loud cheers . ) Having calmly

      made up his mind , previous to , going to prison—incarceration bad done him no harm , so far as haaltli was concerned—aud as regand « d pecuniary ciroum-Btances when became ouChaliad 110 more property than he stood upright in ; . but as his knowiedgebox contained materials , of ; exchangeable value—( laughter and loud applause ) . —why he had nothing to dread , but he must direct their aUentica to tho families of those victims who were stilL incarcerated oy expatiated ., lie lamented to lea ;; a that the Victim Fund was so low ,, but trusted tbey would make- the case of the victiias thinr own , and furnish such means as should enable tlio several families to be tau recipicntSsOf weekly sums , which , they would be pleased to receive , as the due reward of theirhusbands aud fathovs patriotism , ami which the . democrats ought to bo as proud of giving as then * testimony ofi'espcct to the devotion . » f the patnoU . alludedin bho
