      THE O'CONNOR DEMONSTRATION COMMITTEE TO THB tf'OBKING CLASSES OF THE EMPIRE . F ellow Workmen , —The will of God has prerailed over the will of man , and oar tyrants wbo were deaf to oar appeals for the liberation of our friend and champion , have beencom-• r ^ fled at length to yield to necessity what they refused to justice . On Monday next , the gOtb of August ,

      O'CONNOR "tfTLL BE PREEI And , brothers , our present object is to make his freedom a welcome offering , by presenting for his acceptance the increased affection of those for whom he has straggled . It is now more than two years since O'Connor was first tried at York by a special jnry . for what is called libel ; it is nearly a year and a half since he was again tried at York for what is called publication of libel ; and on both occasions we

      had an opportunity of hearing and judging for Ourselves , as well of his princip les as of bis courage to snpport them . And , fellow workmen , we unhesitatingly declare that his manly Bland against oppression , his niter disregard of self , his fina adherence to our principles , and his adrocacy of our rights , taught us to look upon Cbarrism as the one only ihiag ¦ jrorth living for or worth dying for . For ¦ Bearlv sixteen -months be D 3 S been a pr isoner

      ¦ vriibia view of our every thoroughfare ; aua our hearts have sunk when often- times leaving the cell , the smoky ceil , which contained the droop ing and fast decaying body but ever iovoas spirit of our friend . "\ ?? , we Lave made it a part of per duty to visit him , and cerer has he allowed us for one moment to ies ^ oni or to devote an hour towards effecting his liberation . For many months past i * required no great medical art to convince

      common sense that O'Connor s coauneiuent vras undermining his constitution ; however , tbe practitioners did not discover the fac ; until last veek , when a certificate was forwarded va the Home Secretary , stating that longer confinement wonld endanger the li : e of the prisoner : and therefore an order was immediately sec : for Vis release , and in conformity wiih that order he ¦ will be once 12 ore

      restored to us on Monday next . V > ? . the Chartists of York , have left nothing undone to make "his reception what it ought to be , but in consequence of the happy event b ?; nsr hastened by seme weeks , we are compelled to subsiinxe a xneat supper , or Soiree , for the dinner , which is the only change made ia our former arrangements , which we submit as IcRoxvs : —

      O'CONNOR WILL LEAYS TE 2 CASTLS AT OXi O ' CLOCK PRECISELY , accompanied ry TH £ MARSHALS AND COMMITTEE , WHO WILL CONDUCT HIM TO A TEIUMPH 1 L CAR ! EriLI ZXPEESSLY TO ? . THE ? VK ? GS 2 .

In this order the procession will proceed through the principal streets of tbe city to Knavesmire Grand Stand , where Mr . O ' Con' nor will briefly address the people . After the public meetins Mr .

      committee will receive the friends who may honour him with their presence , in a large room prepared tor the purpose , and where tbe delegates may transact tneir business . At six 0 'dock there wil ) be a tea supper : price of tickets , ] s . 6 d . After supper Mr . O'Connor ana the delegates will address the company . Brothers , w-e have thus briefly stated tbe

      arrangernents made for again receiving the man to whose principle and person the working classes of this country are most devotedly attached : and in thus submitting our intention ^ we feel bound to say that upon that occasion York must not be considered as all England ; that tbe demonstration will be a national , not a local display ; and although taking place in York , where circumstances do not permit the existence of so nameroas a body of Chartists as

      are to be found in otbpr towns , yet relviDg upon the cordial co-operation of our friends throughout tbe empire , we have incurred an expence which each town in the kingdom will consider itself in honour bound to share . Nay , "we are coufident that a feeling of jealousy would be the consequence of our not affording the poorest village an opportunity of bearing its convenient proportion of this ^ in our opinion , Dot ' ' USELESS DISPLAY . '

      The committee beg to assure you that they have been unceasing in their exertions , both ffl gU and day since the announcement of the glad tidings / aud that nothing shall be left Undone upon their part to make their visitors from a distance as comfortable as possible . Aney have made arrangements with tbe proprietor of the Grand Stand , for furnishing those who shall not feel inclined to remain for

      sapper , with a good lunch of bread and < &eese and ale for Sixpence each . The committee , in conclusion have to request that e ^ er \ -town approving of these arrangements , ^ iii transmit its mite in aid of them at once to our Secretary , whose name and address appears hereunto annexed . It is most urgently requested that all delegates will bring , from their respective towcs ; as many flags as they can muster . By order of Committee , W . CORDETX , 2 ' , Mlcilerate , York .

      TO THE MARQUIS UF NORMaXBY , HER ¦ MAJESTY'S SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TfciE HGiltu DEPARTMENT . Mt Loud , —Your order for my release from the illegal custody in which I have been detained for nearly sixteen months , reached here on Sunday last , when its contents were immediately coxnaiuaica : ed

      to me . My Lord , while you cannot expect my thanks for this act , c-riaiuly Tery promptly yielded to necessity , but eo loug denied t-o justice , yet there is a something eonsbioi&ry to me and graceful in your LordsLip , ia the accompaniment to your # rder for my liberation . My Lord , I was designated as a most dangerous person ; and so far had the rule of expediency prevailed under a siiding-scale Administration , tkii it was all but openly avowed in the House of Commons by officers and members of the Government , thai if we , ibe Chartists , were not legally , we were ¦ nevertheless conveniently removed from the excited public . However , my Lv .-J , you

      hare , in my opinion , and very p : o ? crly , cen-55 KG the juJgm-. nt of ihi Court of Q . ictii " s Bcuch by dispensing with a compliance vrv . h that porlicn of the sentence , which imposed upon me the necessity of Ending sureties for my ^ oo'S behaviour for two ) ears . Tome , iay Lord , this was the only triumph in tee victory of right over might , or rather of necessity over wiii . I am not oi ; e of these persons who say more upon ma : ters personal to xnyselt in newspapers than 1 can avoid ; bu ; I co fed h due to my ; elf , my eau . se , and my party , to state tritn . . the circuzasianceswiiica led toy our Lordships' order for my release . I shall not noic ; ravcl over any oi the long past , but shall coa&ne myself 10 circumstances which occurred within the la ~ t week .

      On Meaday , the 9 : h Au . ^ usr , I was unexpected jv honoured with a visit frcm Mr . Djccombe , M . P . for Finsbui y . I was not able to riso from the chair to receive him . I took that , the earliest opportunity ¦ which hid cccorred , of thanking Lin for bis very great and persevering a ^ al on behalf of tbelong-iiuprisoued and bratuaily-trcated poor Chartist ? . In the coarse of conversation , ihe subject cf my own state of health was introduced ; and Air . Duncombe assured me that if I petitioned once more he would back it by a representation of what ho had seer .. He said he thought 1 was on the Debtors' side . However , I refused either to apply to auihority , cr petition ihs House of Commons , saying that I wojU rather rerar . in in for any term , than owe my liberation to mercy upon the part of the Crown , or a personal application to your Lordrhip ; and that 1 won « d not allow any friend to apply ou my behalf . Mr . Duncombe appeared : o cave a very high opinion of your . Lordship ' s eease of justice , and ytur desiie to do right ; bat I had ni notion of putting eiiber to the test . On the following Wednesday , August 11 , ilr . Ho ^ ne , cbairman of the risking magistrates , waited upon me in company vriih the Governor , and

      said , " Mr . 0 Connor , I was aery to Jcarn frosa tt . e Governor that you have been very poorlj for foh ; = i time . " I replied , " That I thought he ilr . uld havc- j heard it first and long since from the medicil attend- ( ant ?; that I ha-dnol stood upright for a foxinig ' ii ; snd tbat the effects of my treatment were jim what Dr . Tboczpsoa had anticipated , aad stated iu "hu affidavit . " I told him that I would make no application to the Magistrates , ' . © the House of Commons , to the Home Onice , orto the medical gentlemen ; that anyiLiEg that was done should be done through the usual ckannel , without any appeal upon my part ;

      that & feloa sentenced to transportation had been liberated from York Castle , in consequence of ill heal : b , very recently ; tbat ill . Medhurst had a'so been liberated ; but : ba : I would not try tbe experiment . Mr . Hague told me that he thon ^ ht it had become his duty to require a certificate of my state of health from the principal medical attendant ; and accordingly Mr . Champney , who very ably filU that department , Tisiled me , and again I refused to ask him to make any certificate , obserring that I felt assured that

      what ever justice demanded he would do . Upon i ltifing me , Mr . Champney wrote the certificate , npon which , together with the recommendation of every visiting magistrate in York , my release was granted . I did not see the certificate or the letter : of the magistrates till Saturday , the 14 th , the day I upon which they reached the Home Office . i Sach , my ¦ Lord , are the simple facts con-; nected with my release ; and my motives for publishing them is to hold myself guiltless in the ejes of the working people from any the slightest charge of having asked for mercy .

      My Lord , as you are aware I never wrote one line to the Home Office since my incarceration , I hare sot allowed a single friend to interfere since the 1 st of JuBe , 1840 , when the allegations in my petition were so unblushing !} - contradicted by Air . Fox Maole . I never petitioned for any greater boon than that prayed for in my petition of June , 1840 , to be removed to another less cold prison , and in my subsequent petition of the same month , asking for the production of the evidence taken bsfore Mr . Iaspector Crawford .

      This is as much as I feel myself called upon to state , for thepresenJ ; while I consider myselfbound in justice to myself and in vindication of my own honour , which has been visleatly insulted , to assure your Lordship that I am not & person to bear insult tamely , bowerer I may bear oppression cobly . I must and will have Mr . Crawford ' s report ; for Test assured that I value liberty at the expence of honour as a very dear purchase , and one which I am not , uor I trust ever shall be , prepared to make .

      My Lori , as I am not in the least desirous to lessen the Talae of a good art , or to pervert facts , I am willing to place your order for dispensing with securities for my good conduct to your-credit , thus to a disposition not to interpose any unnecessary delay in the way of my immediate liberation , which might arise from lie difficulty ot one so stampcd by law with distiiiciiveueas , findicg volunteer sureties in a strange place , I h&re ihe honour to remain , My Lord , Your obedient servant ,, F&XE .

      merged from its original purity successively into its present miserable condition , and showed that the causes which produced these effects lay in the exclusive power the aristooracy lal in the making oi lawn , and appointing officers to ihe administration of them .

Considerable discussion took place in consequence ; all parties , however , agreed that siich a step ivas necessary , especially as regards the Q'leenshead brunch , for the distance it is situated from Bradford , and the late hour at which the UradFord Council generally transact their business , renders it almost impossible for them to attend . The Q'leenshead branch lias for a length of time been little better than a nonentity . In order to make the p . ' an as efficient as as possible , aud , at the same time , to extend the field oi operation , it was agreed to hold another meeting at the same place

      rhat day fortnight , and , in the mean tlma , to visit all those who are known to be friendly to the principles of the Charter in the snrronnduiK villages and hamlets , and request them to zorm a nucleus in various neighoourhoods , round which to collect inet-oattereu elements of dtnjocracy .

In order to removo this evil as soon as possible , a lecturing class was formed wi : h evory prospect of success . They will meet every Sunday evening to discuss some political subject or otlicr . Could this plan be carried into operation in evt : ry district , it would tend more than anything else to place Chartism on a proper basis , by making every muu his own lecturer , and thus prevent it from becoming a mere system of lectureship . Tlio Committee especially request that their friends from the surrounding neighbourhood will attend .

Mr . P . M . Brophy , the secretary , read the minutes of the last meetuij !; , after which , thirty new membors wcre enrolled , and several notices for the admission of others were given . The chairman , in a luminous speech , opened the business of the meeting by answering the charges made by Mr . O'Conneil

      against the Charter , and by detailing Mr . O'Counell ' s abandonment of every principle which he had formerly advocated . He said it was in ihe recolloction of every p . rsou present , that Mr . O'Conneil advocated the total aoolition of tithes in name and in nature , until not a trace would remain behind , and yet when Mr . Crawford brought forward his motion for the total abolition of tithes , Mr . O'Conneil voted with every Tory in tho House against Mr . Crawford's motion , and with the mast soul-stirring speeches , urged the people of Ireland not to 1 ay tithes , and said that he would rather rot in jail than pay them himself . But when poor lleiily caught the fire thus infused into his soul , and conceived that he would net bo entitled to the naino of Irishman should he allow Mr . O'Conutll to be the

      first martyr , he was incarcerated for non-payment of tithc 9 . He died in jail , and when Mr . O'Counell found that the last breath had left him—that poor Reilly no longor lived to reproach him with hia treachery—lie meanly sneaked down to tho courts , and was the fiist man in Ireland to pay tithes , after .-aying so much in opposition to them , aud after so much blood had been shed by followiug his advice ; and that during the administration of Earl Grey , Mr . O'Conneil , in his letters to Lord Duncatinou , recommended Attorney General Blackburn , ami other Tory lawyers , to bo promoted to the bench , where they could do no mischief ; but tho moment Mr . O'Conneil found that ho would share in the patronage of tho bench , and that he could gtt

      shnatioiis for his own relations and followers , from that of common policeman , to the clerk in tht Hanaper Office , ha raised tho cry " keep out the Tories . " W % s ever delusion like this practifed on a credulous and confiding peoplo ? Mr . Wood concluded amidst great cheering . Mr . Henry Clark said that , as a Itoma : i Catholic , he felt proud oi beingconnected with the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . Mr . O'Conuell accused tin m of having Orangemen amongst them ; ho hoped that there were many of thtm membtrs of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , in which there v . -a . ^ no delusion , and which would prove that we were more successful in conciliating them than Mr . O'Connell had been in his five years attempting to delude them into his ever-paving associations , lie hoped

      that those persons whom Mr . Mr . O'Connul had endeavoured to stigmatise , would rather pity th

      these societies in Dublin . Mr . Brophy thanked the members for the testimony they gave of his charac tor , and said , although labouring under exceedingly great difficulties , from the attacks of Mr . O'ConnelJ , ho pledged himself tbat nothing short of sickuess 01 death should evor cause him . to relinquish iho course ho was engaged in , and said that Mr . O'Connoll ' s refusal to hear him at tbe Corn Exchange , had made him reeolvo to stay in Ireland , and agitate for the Charter and nothing less , until it becomes the law of the land . Mr . OHiggins said , that although the Dublin newspapers had been so extremely kind to him as to publh-h his answer to the unfounded charges which Mr . O'Conneil brought against him , yet tho publication ofhis refutation of the charges in the papers

      would not be sufficient ; because he knew and was prepared to prove that Mr . O'Conuell's friends , the very nun who had swindled him ( Mr . O'Hi « gins ) out of a sum of £ 750 , aud other friends of O'Connell ' s , who by-the-bye are now his companions , bus out of whoso houses he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had been under the disagreeable necessity of taking his stolen property , and whom he would have prosecuted as receivers of stolen goods had it not baea for the influence of his respected friend , the late Rev . Patrick Walsh . Well , those persons , the fewindlers and their friendp , and the receivers oi the stolen goods and their frieuds , are now , and have been for some years past , the chosen friends of the great Liberator , and have

      been for years past circulating the vilest falsehoods against ' him ( Mr . O'H . ) which human ingenuity or the devil himself could invent . What a-strange state of society it is when those men who forfeited every right to remain in the country if justice were done to them , employ themselves continuously in vilifying and traducing tho very man whom they have plundered ; but , dare they , would they venture to do so , were it not for the infamous impunity which Mr . O'Conneil holds out to them ? Who are those men 1 What are they i Where did they come from i They herded in sties while those whom they traduce went to school . Mr . O'Couneli said that he procured the expulsion of him ( Mr . O'H . } from the society of Irish volunteers in January , 1833 , for conduct unbecoming a patriot , a gentleman , or a Christian . Now he ( Mr . O'Hjggins ) had no recollection of having over been guilty e * f

      conduct eo unchristian as to , assert such unblushing falsehoods as these . He now challenged Mr . O'Counell to state publicly any charge of any nature or kind whatsoever that was brought against him in the Volunteer Association , or in any other association . He hurled defiance at him . He charged him as one of the most base , bloody , and brutal calumniators that ever breathed . He accused him ( Mr . O'Higgins ) of not being a gentleman , or of conduct not becoming a gentleman , why did he do no ? for the purpose of securing his cowardly followers from tbe personal consequences of the lies and slanders which he encouraged them to circulate against him ( Mr , O ' Biggins ) , lie again called upon him to state publicly and in detail all the charges he could make out against him ; but he solemnly warned him against telling any more lies . Let him tell the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth . Air . O'H . apologised for
