      above all we have ever written , prove the strong onion and great sympathy -which now exists among the working classes ; not upon mere personal matters , bat upon- general principles . Here we find strangers to the New Poor Law taking the word of their brethren as their guide , and actnally cheering the return of the proprietor of the Times newspaper , because their brethren of Nottingham consider his , even hiB , return as a stab in the side of the enemy . They say this measure must be a searing iron to the souls of our English fellow-labourers , a serpent , a scorpion , a dagger , a devil , else would they never join in the return of a Tory to mark their condemnation of it . If the Learned Advocates mike no better defence for their other clients , God help the clients !

      We rejoice to see Lowest once more in the straight path : we were convinced that his error was but that of momentary anxiety to deal any even a too hasty and injudicious blow at the old offender . He has now got- them right before hiin , and let him leather away .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —If you wH be bo kind as to publish the following in your next , yon -will oblige your constant reader , J . Greaves . In perusing your paper of the 8 th ult ., I was not at all surprised to see a small paragraph , purporting to have been sent from Oldham , by the Council , announcing to the public that my name had been erased from tho plan of Chartist lecturers ; I can assure the public , through the medium of their own paper , that it is quite true that I moved a resolution , at a meeting held in my own native parish , Saddlowerth , -in favour of Lord Morpetb's Bill for Ireland ; and in order that the public may be put in possession ef facts , I hereby subjein the resolution , which I am proud to say I had the honour to move at the meeting in question : —

      Resolved 1 st "That the people ef Ireland have an inalienable right to the same privileges as those which are enjoyed by other portions of the community ; and though it is admitted the number of electors are much fewer , In proportion to the whole population , there than in any other division of the united kingdom , yet we ate astonished to perceive that an attempt is being made still farther to diminish them , by throwing vexations obstacles and impediments in the way of exercising the elective franchise . " The foregoing is the resolution which I moved at the Saddleworth meeting . I still think I did right in doing so ; and if ever the time should come , when I should again have the opportunity of assisting to obtain the legislative rights of our sister country , as well as those of my own countrymen , I shall always ( health permitting ) be ready to assist in furthering tht great and glorious cause of reform , whether it be for Ireland , for England , or any other part p £ the British dominions . I am favourable . to Lord Morpeth ' s £ 5 franchise , twhich was . contemplated in his first 3 iH , j ; so far as it goes ; but because I take 15 s . in tbe pound from the person who owes me 20 s ., dees that imply

      Untitled Article

      that I am to discontinue my efforts to obtain the -whole twenty shillings ? By no means ; 1 am as much a Chartist as over , and perhaps more sincere in the advocacy of the people ' s cause than & great many of those noisy , bouncing , new-fashioned , mushroom politicians , who are , by their conduct , doing all they possibly can to stamp with disgrace the cause which is already losing ground , by having creatures in the shape of men for its advocates , who are a nuisance to any society to which they belong . The paragraph to which I allude also says something about bit-by-bit reform , and my assisting the middle

      class on certain occasions . All I have to say in reference to this part of the subject is , that I have never assisted in anything bat the obtaining of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland , with a £ 5 franchise , and an entire repeal of the wicked com and provision laws of this country ; and if It be a political sin in this oar day—in the nineteenth century , to be the advocate of equal laws and real justice for Ireland , and endeavour to obtain for the people cheap bread and cheap food , I am perfectly willing to resign myself to the fate that awaits me . I have done nothing bat what has been done by men who were far my superiors—who were an honour to the country which gave them birth .

      Let those creatures who are the greatest enemies to all reform—who are constantly going about seeking whom tbey may devour , because certain persons differ with them upon subjects so important as the repeal of the Corn Laws , read the very valuable writings of a Cartwright , aCobbett , and a Hunt ; all of whom spent their lives , and some of them large fortunes , in endeavouring to shew to tho people of this and other countries that we were cursed to the very earth by high rents , high taxes , and high usury laws . Let the people of this country look at the glaring fact

      that the aristocracy , in the years 1815 and 1816 , passed a Corn Law , which has secured t « them , being about 30 , 000 in number , a sum of no less than from twentyfive to thirty millions per annum . Ought not every man , woman , and child to call long and loudly for the entire repeal of a law at once opposed to the Holy Scriptures , to the laws of nature , of reason , and of justice ? They also got a Bill passed , exempting themselves from the farther payment of the property tax , which , in the last year of its existence , raised to the revenue £ 15 . 227 , 600 , thereby entailing misery and destitution oat the great mass of the people .

      Why should the people who were once united under the banners of Universal Suffrage and no Corn Laws , in the memorable days of Mr . Hunt , bo now divided and split into factions oppositions , upon a question , or questions , which to them are of the greatest importance ? I -was always led to believe that Universal Suffrage meant Universal Liberty of conscience , of mind , and of body ; bat it now appears that that which Mr . Hunt thought was right in 1816 , 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 , those who call themselves Reformers in 1841 , think wrong . Man , the noblest work of God , is no longer at liberty to think , or speak , or act ; bat in conclusion , I will take the liberty of making known to tbe world my determination to retain my opinions upon all questions , whether political or theological . I beg leave to subscribe myself , A Chartist Cora Law Repealer , James Greaves , Saddlewoith . Aasterlands , Saddleworth , May 10 th , 1841 .

      N . B . In the Star , of last Saturday , I saw another small paragraph , also from Oldham , in reference to a Corn Law meeting , which took place a short time ago , at Waterhead Mill . I beg that yon will jast be so kind as to remove a very bad impression which it has made . The manner in which that article is penned , evinces tbe very worst of feelings on the part of the man who wrote it One Lees , the writer says , took the chair , —a factory master . Quite true ; but who iB this one Lees ? Wby , Sir , it was Mr . John Lees , a very respectable , kind , hnmane , benevolent , and charitable cotton master of Waterhead Mill—a man who is universally respected and esteemed by all who know him . In a ward , there is not a person who knows him , who will not » t once manfully proclaim , that a better man and master does not live in oar neighbourhood . I ask you , Mr . Editor , is it fair ? is it at all consistent with the feelings of a Christian and a man , that a man like Mr . Leea , who is so esteemed and beloved ,

      not only by his own work-people , but by all who know him , should be treated with contumely by men who know nothing of him , and who are perfect strangers in the country ? I was present at the meeting at which Mr . Lees was chairman , and—mark well what I say—Mr . Lees obtained for every speaker , whether in favour of or against a repeal , a fair and impartial hearing . He put it fairly to the meeting , for and against , and very truly decided that the motion for a repeal was carried by a large majority . A person in the body of the meeting called put for a vote of censure upon the Chairman , but the moment it was heard by the meeting , a vote of thanks was proposed , and carried by the acclamation of a very great majority of the meeting . I can vouch for the truth of what is here stated , and you may depend upon it that what appeared in the Star of last Saturday , on this subject , is an untruth from beginning to end . I remain , yours .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —By order of the Committee for conducting the visit of the Rev . Joseph Rayner Stephens to these districts , on Sunday next , 16 th of May , I am requested to send to you for insertion in your truly valuable and widely circulated journal , tho following short address to the inhabitants of the Staffordshire Potteries . Your insertion will confer an obligation on the Committee , in whose behalf I am , dear Sir , Very faithfully yours , John Richards , Secretary .

      TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES . Fellow Slaves , —Every day brings fresh proof that you have no real friends amongst tbe so-culled middle classes ; for if we are to judge of them by their conduct , we can come to no other conclusion . Refused as we have been every place for Mr . Stephens to preach in , we are compelled to submit to necessity , and take the only spot of ground we can avail ourselves of , depending on the voluntary contributions of those who alone can appreciate the objeets of Mr . Stephana ' s visit to these parts .

      Countrymen , our objects are benevolence and utility ; the first being for the benefit of that truly patriotic friend of the sons of toil , Mr . R Oastler , who is now confined in the Fleet Prison for debt , and who is confined there for bis advocacy of the rights vf labour ; for if he had advocated tho side of wealth , he would have found numerous friends amongst the rich and the great , whowould have soon released him from duraace vile , and have placed that man in affluence . Conic , then , and show fey your liberality that you , the sons of toil , can duly appreciate his worth . Our second object is to raise money for the erection of a Working Man ' s Hall , where we can hold our meetings , free from the petty obstructions now thrown in our way , by those whose whole wealth is the produce of our labour . We urge on you the necessity of the case and the sacredness of the cause ; nor will we doubt the liberality of our townsmen .

      A tea party will be held in the Saracen ' s Head Assembly Room , on Monday , 17 th of May , at five o ' clock ; and after tea a public meeting . Our objects are well known , nor will the considerate and patriotic ever refuse their support By order of Committee , John RrcHARDS , Secretary . N . B . —It is most earnestly requested that ali persons who may be employed in any way in money matters will not fail to make up their accounts on Monday night , 17 th instant , in order that a balance sheet may be made out and submitted to the public .

      THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Never was there a period more urgent in the annals of our country that we should perform our duty than the present demands of us to do . If we bat exert ourselves as men loving liberty , there is every prospect of our obtaining the release of all political prisoners , and the Executive feel satisfied no government can long resist the just and reasonable demands of the people , if the people , by their virtuous and united efforts , wish to do justice to themselves . One hundred M . P . ' s have promised to support Mr . Dnncombe ' s motion , ef which he has given notice , for the 25 th inst , its purport being for the release of all political prisoners .

      Fellow Countrymen , now is the time for the people to decide whether the Convention shall continue its sittings another fortnight or not The Executive are of opinion that immediate and active steps ought to be taken to raise funds to maintain their representatives in London for two more weeks , when the Convention shall have performed its mission , and then the members of that shall return to their respective constituencies to give an acOL'Unt of their stewardship . Fellow Democrats , if we love liberty , if we really feel for those Victims , and their families , who have so nobly and fearlessly advocated tbe principles of truth

      and humanity , we will support the Convention . Let us never forget the banishment of the patriotic Frost and his fellow sufferers . Let us remember the torture endured , mentally and -bodily , by the good men wlio are now immured in cold , damp dungeons ; and , above all , 1 st us bear in mind , if we perform oar duty as we ought , the principles of Oar sacred Charter shall again be brought permanently before the country ; hoping , therefore , tbat each and all of us will do bar utmost towards raising funds for the completion of so holy and sacred an object , We remain , Brother Democrats , Your sincere Friends in the cause of Chartism , James Leech , President .

      FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Wednesday Evening , May 12 . Nothing can exceed the political and polemical excitement whieh at this m « ment exists here . All our halls , little and great—alt our private meeting placesin fact , every place calculated to hold an assembly is engaged ; and there is not one hoar in the six days , aye , and in many instances , on Sundays , that there is not a public meetlne held by the political partisans or polemical graspers . But not a single salitary meeting is held by those parties to elevate the condition of the working classes . The West India planters are holding daily meetings to guard against their ill-gotten wealth , which bas been accumulated by the sweat of the slaves ' brow . The men in power , her Majesty's Ministers , are holding humbng ticket meetings for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and in favour of the voluntary principle ; both of which are to be their hobbies at the next election . The bloated bishops , the pampered parsons , and all the

      other black slugs , are holding meetings for the extension of the revenues of the church , as by law established , as they say if they are touched the holy structure of Christianity will fall to the ground . At the late meeting , held at Willis ' s Rooms , for the extension of colonial bishoprics , the benches groaned under the weight of the noli episcopari gentry , or , as they call themselves , the " unwilling bishops . " But mark the difference ; at the meetings for the Sailor ' s Home , for the Mendicity , for the Shipwrecked Mariners , for Distressed Females , and numberless other charitable objects , lately held in the Metropolis , net a single bishop or dignitary , and scarcely one clergyman , appeared . As aj straw shows how the current runs , so this derertion of their flock , by their pastors , clearly indicates that the latter will be exposed to the rapacity of the wolves , unless the flock protect themselves ; this , with the blessing of God , they will do , as the conduct of the plundered , deserted , insulted , starving , yet patient , industrious working classes proves .

      Amidst all this political and polemical excitement and turmoil , tbe People ' s Parliament are quietly , peaceably , and determinedly discharging their solemn duty . Their conduct is winning for them praise , even from their enemies , and is commanding attention from all quarters . Their labours are incessant They are occupied from an early hour in the morning , to a late hour at night , in their different offices , while the only rivalship that exists amongst them , is the rivalship of serving the good cause ; and unanimity marks all their procedings . Kot content with canvassing members , sitting on committees during the day , and attending the Convention from five till seven in the evening ; they are at night engaged in addressing public meetings .

      On Monday night , a public meeting was held on Cierkenwell Green , Mr . Spurr in the chair , for the purpose of considering the awful position of the country , and the best means of remedying it . Messrs . Wall , Martin , Skcvington , and Barmby , attended that meeting , delivered speeches , and moved resolutions in behalf of the tax-ridden , enslaved , anc insult . 'd people of England , and ultimately proved that " he who allows oppression , shares the crime . " After tbe meeting . Inspector Penny was busy in arresting a parcel of drunken fellows , Who were no doubt introduced for the purpose of giving that blue bottle gent an opportunity of boasting tlmt ho captured a number of Chartists . Inspector Penny ' s plan will , in tbe long run , prove not worth a farthing . On Monday

      night another meeting was held at Mr . Foxe ' s , Frogmore , Wandsworth , Mr . Howett in the chair ; Messrs . Willmms and Rose addressed the meeting at great lecg h , on the Charter , the treatment of the prisoners , and the delicate state of the health of Bronterre O'Brien . The meeting pledged itself to memorialise for Mr . O'Brien's release . A policeman in disguise was detected in the meeting , but suffered nothing beyond that of hearing a few unpalatable truths . The meetwas crowded to excess . On Tuesday night a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Tower Hamlets , Whitechapel , which was attended by Messrs . Ruffy Ridl , y , Smart , and Skevington . Three resolutions were passed , viz ., for supporting the National Petition , seek n the return of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , and

      pledging the meeting never , to relax their exertions until the Charter be m ; uie thu hiw ol the land . The three delegates addressed the meeting , and were listenenud to with the most profound attention by the assembled multitude , who sympathized most sincerely with the imprisoned Cher lists . On Tuesday night , another meeting was held at the Horns , Crucifix-lane , Mr . Matthias in the chair . Messrs . Morgan Williams , Cullum , and Rose attended the meeting , and were most loudly cheered during their addresses . Mr . Brown also delivered an tuMress . Resolutions were adopted pledging the meeting to present a memorial for Mr . O'Brien ' s release , t « support the National Petition , and to do every thing to forward the cause of thu people . —On the same evening , a third

      meeting was held in the cause of humanity , at the Anchor Room , Bath-place , New Road , Mr . Fasael in the chair . The meeting was crowded by the inhabitants of St . Pancrai , and vtas addressed most eloquently , powerfully , and effectively by Mr . Marly , Mr . Balls , Dr . M Djuall , Mr . Morgan , Mr . Martin , and Mr . Barmt » y . This is a tolerable specimen of the untiring determination of the delegates to work in season and out of season in the great , the grand , the virtuous , and patriotic cause . The few true men who are now representing the people in London , have pledged themselves never to cease their labours until they work out tbe redemption of the working classes—until they secure the fall

      exercise of their just and fair rights and privileges , and until they are enabled to stand in tbe noble position of free-born Englishmen . The Convention scrupulously avoid all angry collision with any party , aici without making one enemy , are creating in all quiir : ers hosts of friends . The people are cheerful in responding to tbe call of the Convention , and are proving that their ( thepeople ' sipawer is nextin strength to that Almighty Baiug , alone , who in the Majesty of his greatness , called that power into existence . Let the enemies and soi disant fi lends of the Chartists say what they will , the Nottingham election has taught "the powers that be" an . awfully moral lesstn tbat reaches ths heart and the soul as well as the

      understanding of aristocrats , autocrats , and tyrants . Chartism is the most awful hand-grenade that has ever yet been thrown into the allied enemy ' s camp : and all dread its explosion ;
