  O'CONNOR'S LETTER TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . [ We were last week obliged to cut short Mr . O'Confv ° |> letter : a mistake in directing of it through ' tne Post Office having caused the latter portion of it not to reach us till after the paper was sent to press . At Mr . O'Connor's request we this £ ** Kr **? ** " > lett * ** ita entire form . — . . La . A ^ S . I
  
  Mr bear FMEfiDs , —Yon invited me , after my incarceration , to Tisit your country for the purpose , as your letters stated , of pro-ring that your affection towards me had not abated . In compliance with your wishes , I went to Scotland before I had visited any disjjct of England , and after attending nearly fifty ^ arge meetings I had the heartfelt consolation to find that you were a people worth suffering for ; while nothing more increased my affection towards you than the hearty response with which my appeals on behalf of my native land were met .
  
  For seven years 1 have laboured in England and Scotland in the cause of national liberty j and although almost exiled from the loved land for which my family have suffered an unprecedented martyr-. dom , yet have I at all times , out of season and in Season , brought the woes of Ireland before you . When I went amongst you in 1835 , 1 found you distracted betweea the undefined tests of O'Gonnell and Durham , as they were called ; and then , for the first time , did I , in person , nniie the whole of the working classes in one great national union . My subsequent visits to Scotland have been numerous and expensive ; and it was my delight to hold you up in all my speeches and writings as the stronghold of democracy .
  
  In October aud November last , I say , I attended nearly fifty large public meetings , at e&ck&ad all of ¦ which the National Petition was unanimously adopted , while a distinct pledge to assist Ireland in her struftle for redemption was also carried . During my sojourn , a National Convention of Scottish delegates was spoken of , and , without my inowledge , ihe good men of Eldereley , the birth plwse of the immoral Wallace , did me the honour to elecime
  
  as thtrir delegate . Kmherglen followed the e . xzucple tf Eldersley , and by its election strengthened aj bands by the increased confidence . While I was ai Scotland no opposition , not any , was offered to th * [ Nal-onal Petition . No amendment was moved io itswiej tion—all was unanimous , till those , whose Luty it was io preserve union , met in Convenion on the third day of January ; and to he proceedings of that body I Rrtail now apply
  
  QJ feii . I should have written to you on the subject in ast week's Star , but I preferred waiting till you lad the whole of the proceedings before you j and iven now , in consequence of the neglect of my ¦ epcrter , you are in but very imperfect possession if the facts . Kay , I cannot make head or tail of us infernal trash myself , although I was present . [ must cow relieve the proceedings from the obscurity in which neglect and treachery have eureloped them .
  
  On Monday , the 3 rd , the delegates met . I was lot present upon that day , and I have no reason to egret my absence , as . I learn that BreTvster , the ild torment , occupied the whole day in an attempt o sew discord and confusion ; he was baffled , bowiver , by the good sense of the delegates . Nothing if more importance than putting down tnis firebrand iccnrred on Monday , beyond the very discreditable aanaer in which one of the Synod of Glasgow awared his election . Brewster said that any four > r five persons mighi elect a delegate ; and on the nstani off ran Mr . Charles M'Eivin to a few houses sailed Gavan , tapped at a few doors , which -were > pened , and on Tuesday their pious representative presented his credentials and was admitted ; thus . eavins Gatton and Old Sarum ia the shade .
  
  You shall now hear how the principle of equa representation was practically carried out by the Church-Chartist Synod of Glasgow . Fifty-four dele- ' ^ afces was the greatest number that voted , and of these fifty-four Glasgow alone returned seventeen ! Aye , seventeen I and of those seventeen the following were Whigs—rank Whigs , and compose the Chartist Presbytery of Glasgow : —M'Farlane , he wa said to be elected for Montrose , Malcolm , ( for som country district ) , Partesoo , Currie , Jacz , M'Ewin ^ Dixou , C&ssels , JLodgers , and some other whose name I do not recollect . Isow , all these ran abont
  
  like rats , endeavouring to get a constituency ; and I am bold to assert that altogether they did noi represent 500 of the workiDg classes of any part of the world . Added to these we had Brewster , and three of hi 3 tools chosen by ; he shopkeepers of Paisley , and a person , of the name of Mitchell , elected at a twopenny ticket meeting at Aberdeen , one of the Caltoc Hill bucks ; and subsequently one of the " new move" sentry . Now , Proudfoot , Ross , Colqxiioun , and Meyers , ( the treasurer of the Chartist Church ) , as fine a fellow &a lives , and myself were also elected for parts of Glasgow , -Messrs . Proudfoot and R- ^ s being bound down by the instructions of
  
  their constituents . Thus , there were tea Glasgow preachers , all Whigs—not a drop of Chartist blood in their veinsfourBrewsterites and Mitchell , making a total . of fifteen -, and will any man in Scotland tell me that the set represent SCO working men ! and yet we had to contend against them . In consequence of M'Donali ' s very excellenfletter in last week ' s Star , I shall be explicit . That letter ¦ was written under a misapprehension . It was written under the impression that the vote of the Synod , by which we were to have had two petitions , remained undisturbed , while , thanks to Lowery , for a very excellent amendment which rescinded the one ol the Synod , we were spared the
  
  disgrace of a double petition . I shall now lay before you all that happened of importance during Tuesday and Wednesday . On Tuesday Jack moved the rejection of the petition and the adoption ol a new petition for Scotland . One of the saints , of course , seconded it , and that firm aud noble fellow , John Wallace M'Crea , moved an amendment for the adoption of the petition as it stood . To this Lowery moved another amendment , to the effect that all places where the National Petition had been adopted should go on procuring signatures ; and that in future , to prevent disunion , all extraneous matter
  
  should be omitted from a National Petition . The rote was first taken upon the amendments , when M'Crea ' s was carried by a large majority . M'Crea ' s amendment and Jack ' s resolution were then put when the numbers were equal , 27 and 27 j the Chairman having voted , and Rodger who was pledged by his constituents to support the Petition , having refused to vote . In this dilemma the Chairman was called upon to give his casting vote . I with others protested against this , as he had voted before ; however , he requested five minutes refiection in the vestry room , and at the end of that period , he gave the casting vote against the National
  
  Petition . Emboldened by their temporary triumph , Pattern another of the Synod , moved a resolution , deprecating all interference with meetings which had for their object the removal of what he termed '' infamous monopolies" —a mo 3 t rascally resolution-one calculated to hand us over , bound neck and heels , to the League ; the Synod to a man , with Brewster and his tools and a few who were looking to thePresbytary for preferment , voted for this ; but we carried an amendment of Lowery-3 recommending the old course of explaining our principles and taking tie vote at all meetings , by a sweeping majority .
  
  On Wednesday morning the committee brought j in & new petition for . Scotland , and Brewster , who j objected to any details , even the mention of Repeal , and the Poor Law Amendment Act , opposed it , because there was no mention made of Paisley 1 Now , Scotchmen , what think yon of that man ' s brain 1 Did I not always tell you that he was m daft" However to this petition there was some objection , but it was subsequently rescinded by Lowery ' s former amendment , which was put as a gnbstantive resolution , being carried by a sweeping jaajority , the saints protesting against the vote ; but we beat the hypocrites . Aye , toy are hypocrites ; and we saved the Nahoxal Wiix from the disgrace of & Wms CoDiax being appended to it .

  The only other business of importance was the dividing Scotland into six districts , thus clipping the wings of the rotten leadere of Glasgow . Upon this a splendid report was brought up by Lowery Rankin , and A . Duncan ; and here , speaking of Rankin , it would appear from my muddle-pated reporter , that Rankin seconded the amendment of Pattison , whereas there was not a more efficient , consistent , able , or talented delegate in the Convention than Rankin : he was , indeed , an ornament to " modern Athens . " Would to God all had been gnch 1 i
  
  There was £ 35 of a Victim Fund on hand . Ten pounds were Toted to Mrs . Frost , £ 5 to Mrs . Jones , £ 10 to the families of the incarcerated victims , and £ 10 allowed to remain in the Treasurer's hands , to discharge the expences of Mr . Ross , who kindly accompanied youDg Frost to his home when his physicians ordered him from Glasgow . Some other minor votes were come to , and at the close Mitchell proposed a vote of thanks to the middle classes tor their co-operation . I moved , as an amendment , a vote of thanks to the working classes who bad T > ravely withstood their oppressors , and only few delegates being present , both were carried .
  
  On Wednesday evening , that incessant plague , Paddy Brewster , brought forward his humbug " nnder-no-eirenmstances" resolutions again , and made an attack upon me , when the audience hissed him and hooted him , and he left the Convention , declaring that he would no loDger co-operate with the Chartists , This was a point gained at all events . Now , Scotcbaen , it is folly longer to- disguise the fact from yoa , who have shrewdly watched the progress of our adorious cause . Instead of probing
  
  onward , watchicg the fitting opportunity , and taking advantage ef all favourable einmmstaa « es , and even of accid « at 3 T you have seen those who were loudest in the eutset , either become timid , as our power increased , ersell themselves , when theypresumed that they had attacked some vaiue tothei ? persons . Can you coifMe in * ny man , or set of men , who are ready to fail back stair ' s breadth fromthe adopted' National principle , aud join anything : short of that principle .
  
  The time is now arc-jred wheE- every man must and shall speak out . / unit no longer be thevictim of private letter-writers , eaves-dappers , csrnerwhisperers , grumblers in cvnmi ( tecs ± slabbers in the dark , and att ntcki I know-that I am hated by all who wish to make profit of agitation ? and I feel the power which silencs would a 3 brd to the slanderer to fritter aw » y my utility , vainly bopine . to establish
  
  iame upon my ruin . I defy thaw one and all ! I mly ask them to do as I have done , make princi ] jle their idol , and thei ? guide ; jit © praise to whoa ¦ praise is dae , and ¦ wi thhold censure and slander where its promulgation tends but to ¦ sreakenaod diannite . Geod Good r is not tb © field wide enough amply wide enough for all , and-must not those for whsin alone I- contend ^ , recognisa-an eoemyin every eneaiyj of mine t
  
  Lpsn the eve of our- grand move every engine will be at work to frustrate ou ? © Sorts , asd I-holdthe lukewarm equally responsible as the open foe . It was the fasiion to stamp any suggestion * of mine as aa act of dictation ; . but sinoe the election of your Executive , with whose every > act I xnGrt oordially agree , hav& I not ascheerfuily ^ followed . 'on as I previously boldly led ? ' I have , to the utmost of my power , supported that body , and have rejoiced at finding all suggestibns emaua-inkg from ihem , as your recognised leaders , generally approve *! . by . the * country ; but I tell you that discontent , egotism , weakness , vanity , aad insolence , ar& pouriag _ forth their arrows as them also , because they will . notgive way .
  
  Of your synod of Glasgow , I tell yon that they are , one aud aH hambags—ran ^ caoting hygoorites , who wouJd perpetuate grievances , in order that thejs . may have ready access to youi feelings . I- don ' t mean those who- go to warship in Cbartiafe churches—no such taing . I liie a cheap , ohurch £ bnt I Bean tkose who complain of religiousintolerance aad commence thair own tolaration by . reproving one df their preachers for preaching in & short jaoketj ' aadwho threaten to withholds all their immDnkies and privileges frwn Mr . Thempson ,. ef
  
  Greenoek , if he would not comply with their rules , canons , and regulations . What stuff and ; humbug ! and this to be the foundation of a CharSist Chiureh ! and these preachers who coaplain of tb » Episcopal interference in the House of Lords , to constitute almost a majority of yoar Convention i If you bled them all to death jou would not sqneexs out one drop of democratic blood . Ever doubt the man who mixes up religion and politics , otherwise than to deduce from the scriptures , man'fe right to freedom , and the disgrace which slavery attaches to the willing slave , made after the image of his maker .
  
  I must now have a word with the brave men of the Vale of Leven . I tell them that if they were fairly represented in the Convention , then th « y are not the same by day-light and torch-light , neither is their delegate . In no part of Scotland was greater enthusiasm evinced for Ireland and the National Petition than in the "Vale of Leven . When going to Scotland , M'Douall said of all places go to
  
  that Chartist paradise , the Vale of Leven . Now , I tell them that Thomasoa , their delegate , voted for every Whig motion bronght forward by the Synod . Of course , I have a right to state facts , aad to make my comments . If the men of the valley are satisfied , then no harm is done ; but Scotland should know whether or not the people of Leven were consenting parties to Jack's motion , and to P&tteson's motion for non-interference at Whig
  
  meetings . I unhesitatingly declare that the cause of the working classes is dearer , far dearer , to me than life itself . I have Buffered too much in Ios 3 of liberty health , property , and friends , to dread an encounter with all its foes or pretended friends . I trust that the example set by Glasgow in the late C » nvention will serve as a -warning to those districts called upon to send delegates to the forthcoming National Convention . One good fellow can gain
  
  time , if necessary , for full consideration . Every delegate should be solemnly pledged to total abstin . ence , and to read over hia correspondence with bis constituents in Convention . I do not make the observation without a full knowledge of the utility of both . I am as sober a man as breathes , yet I pledge my honour net to drink anything stronger than water during the time of my delegation , and not to write a line to my constituents whioh shall not have been previously submitted to the whole body .
  
  Scotchmen , perhaps you have never seriously thonght of the enormous stake for which we are now playing . It is LIBERTY , LIBERTY ; civil and religious LIBERTY , brave sons of Wallace ; a thing worth living for , and worth dying for . For myself , I shall oaly say , that the sneerer , the tattler , the reviler , the good-natured critic , aud the open foe shall find me ever ready to take my part and do one man ' s work in its accomplishment .
  
  Some men abuse both me and the Star . Poor simpletons ! If I must speak out , when did human eye ever behold snch an advocate of pure democracy ] When before have yon had a journal of which for between four and . five years it could be said , " Prove Us delinquency f " It is also the fashion to abuse the Editor most unlimitediy , and when he ventures a reply he is censured . Again , I say show me a man on earth who in the capacity of Editor of such a paper , has preserved bo pnre , so undevia ' . ing , so consistent , so polite , so gentlemanly , and so usefnl a course . You were long looking for such an advocate ; but mayhap " The beauteous toy se fondly sought , Has lost its charm by being caught . "
  
  Scotchmen , should disunion be sown amongst you , and should you require my aid , send for me , and you shall have a thirdvisit this winter . Scotchmen , stand by your order !—remember the noble deeds of your forefathers and what they achieved ! and wkile you have yet the privilege of placing one foot on the martyr ' s hallowed grave and the other upon the land of year birth .
  
  " Wbawenld fill a traitor's grave , let him turn and flee . " Scotchmen , sign the National Petition . Every man and woman sign it the more readily because the woes of Englishmen and Irishmen are set forth therein . "A house divided against itself cannot stand . " No two Petitions . Leave that to the total Repealers ,

  REJEAIy TJESTEBi AT > FOU > A « . AND FOUND WANDi ing . —Ob Mo / aday evening , the 17 th , a public meeting t » ok place in the Seoession Church , to hear a report of proceedings fi om Mr Jt Adam , delegate to Manchester . Provost 3 ootli was requested , but declined to take the cbair , when . his predecessor , Jt > hn Lawson ., Esq ., wa > nnanimon » 5 y elected The Chairman , by a- few temperate , well-timed remarks , introduced Mr . Adam , who would be prepared to answer any questions , and ^ ive explaaati ous , either on the special Business , or the observatior . s made to hisJourney . The latter , with the greatertBhi > w of eaodour and courtesy , repeated the statement , and proceeded to his detail , in a-calm , collected , and' bi isiness-lii-e manner : the report of the 2 fameiester-Gi *> irdi& > supplying the material in part
  
  Mr . Adam , awtr having eulogised Alderman Brooks , complimented Mr . Lianey ., a Chartist , for his strenuous efforts to icpn ss the- uproar of his tumultuous associates at a I 'Ublic meeting , where the Ailderman jaresided at- IV Manchester , on New Teat ' s Day , but reversed thtstj lun . to the credit of a stonemason , who , w-e- -were ioforoied , » aking his way through the im-. xsense assetabl r , banded op a note to be read . Mr . | A >' s new friend , the Chairman , was-represented-by him as expressing extreme regret , if it should be imposed upon him , to jslace in-competition two points , buth of -which had his hearty concurrence , and imploring that the amendment ! should be withdrawn in that form , and ' submitted aa-an aftep » re-solution , -with the advantage of being entered upon oar-minutes , whether pawed or not ,
  
  but probably with success . Toe pertmaoity of the stonemason , bowetezs-much to the regret of uvery rightminded Oartist , it was stated , persisted to a-dividing of the house . I thought , gentlemen , this was simply taking a vote , as air home , but I-assure you it is very different , a fearful tiling , the minority must walk out The Aldorman , w&sm told , extricated hiraealf , by submitting whether tid meeting would entertain the question as- an ameniJawnt , when , out- of thaee thousand , about two . hundred , were left s > one end , when a howl and uproar were- immediately set up ; bnt they wera compeMed . to walk out . Mr . AJam . was introduced into , the Alderman ' s MH 1 Establiahraent by him , and favoured with 9 V&ry inforaoation lie saught ; foi instance , &s& dressing by maolune , which with extra waste , 4 c ,
  
  wasstateito cost two shillings and sixpenae per hundrtd weight , and replied to as being threepesce or sixpenae higher per cwt . than by hand ; . but the Alderman said , notwithstandiog appearanca , to aboikh the machme wo « ld be a personal losa . too coasiderable for him to sustain ; tiom which it was asseited , that the greater cost of machine operations , &t ones , showed they could not depress the price of heckling by hand . The above explanation was given ia reply to a question , as i ) the effect of machinery upon , manual labour . Several other q ueries were put , and responded to in a similar manner , but Mr . Adam being dasired tosSate whether he represented himself at the eonfaren «* as delegate from . " the miBoiitj ot a public meeting , w the inhabitaziis . of Forfar ? " retorted " Mr . 3 ? avJea > being a stramree here , 1
  
  do not consider mysdf accountable to him !' . ' A vt » te of approbation to the delegate ^ before the meeting , M * DavieB requested tftobsecv © . possibly he had been longer in Forfar than many , were » ware , and wo » Jd probably remain longer than , agreeable to Mr . Adam , notwithstanding whose description of the conduct o £ Chartists , he hoped the paemissioa to state , that bere-oi elsewhere , in his experience they need only be treated as men , to rescue from llum a manly behaviour ^ a fact he was happy to resark so well borne oat by the present assembly , amd whieh he assured them should meet no disparagemest from him . Mr . Adas ) , waa certainly at liberty to reply as he pleased , but after the assurances given at the commencement of proceedings , it would scarcely be out of order to anticipate n mora coTdine and
  
  eatisfaetory answer . But whatever position the delegate might assume at the conference , in Manchester , he could sot but appear in the triw one at home . Had he convened an association , ot reported to the minority who authorised his mission , an unweleorue interference had "been properly avoided , but when publio approbation of the proceeding of a party is sought , especially by a formal motion , surely it cannot be wrong to test the merits of the claim . I impeach not Mr . Adam , merely as a political paxtiaan , but upon a dereliction of principle , not as a man , but a politician—a Chartist . And , be it observed , ia the gathering , portentous blackness , overspreading the horizon of trade and cop ,. merce , the question is important , momentous , to ev'jry individual , in every station . The great political
  
  movement requires to be simple in its nature , and eff actual in its result The elevating , the dignified , t > ue truly noble , moral , and virtuous character of real tJhartism , need only be understood to be appreciated by every manly bosom , as adequate to the case . We avail ourselves of the admissions of the various Anti-Corn Law parties , which concede , more or less , the position we maintain . We perceive that a very minor struggle diverts from , and protracts the great end in view . We jealously watch every substitution , and with a conscious , manly , moral bearing , proclaim "The Charter , nothing less , and nothing else—wanting that . " I honour " the stonemason , * whose manly stand , and unflinching perseverance , have been characterised as " pertinacity . " I revere the rectitude of principle which resisted the
  
  Alderman ' s seductive urbanity , and exposed the wily policy , inflicting injury by success . It succumbs the major to the minor ; nay , by supplanting , seeks , or at all events , promotes subversion . True policy seeks the Charter as a means , and repeal as a consequence . The conduct of the stonemasons " was praiseworthy , it accorded with his adopted standard ;* while that of Mr . Adam , instead of commendation deserves to be reprehended , fcr it "was desertion . His conduct repudiates the profession , and disqualifies him for deciding who is , or vrho is not , a " right-minded Chartist . " The Anti-Corn Law movement is denounced by us , not in defence of the monopoly , but as the struggle of faction . Money-holders against land-holders . The one , it is true / have cut down the loaf , and raised up the price ,
  
  but the other have equally pared down the wages , and taken away the work . While the abolition of small farms has reduced the holders , and impoverished the labourers of the soil ; the sympathy of factory lords has found an asylum , not by the employment of ablebodied labour , except in creeping , crawling , lickspittle sycophancy , and subservient tyranny , but by overtasking juvenile strength with protracted labours , and wasting exertions , till distorted decrepitude cast them a burden offensive upon society , or premature exhaustion sink them to an untimely grave . Such only , is the release generally , from the relentless cruelty of the
  
  horrible bastiles , set up and supported that " capital may bear interest" The selfish , grasping avarice of this class of men is eloquently , and too truly described by Burke— "their ledger is their Bible , the countinghouse their temple ; their money their God . " Yes , and bowing at the shrine of Mammon , hecatombs of sacrifices are duly presented , in the poverty , distress , misery , and starvation of the sons and daughters of tolling industry . The chairman apologised for interruption , — found the meeting not with him , when resenting " declamation" —and requested the speaker to be as short as he could . He ( the speaker ) complimented in return , and took occasion to remark , that be and his friends had

  heard Mr . Adam , with the most exemplary attention to his amen , and trusted to meet 'With a like return j but he should be briet Taking a reyieir of the long operation of the Corn Laws , previous to the interference of the ; . " League , " he would press upon the meeting the fact , that only when they ^ felt the pinch on their " sin toes , " they cried out "Ob . these wicked Com Laws J Down with the Corn Laws J" He gave a rapid glance at the result of repeal , as a solitary measure , being profit to the capitalist—disappointment to all else ; and after rain to the : occupiers ; destruction of the holders '; and transference of the land to devouring money lords ; and despotism , the inost deplorable , as a reward of confiding itollj . He would just advert to the
  
  Alderman ' s machinery Hlnstnition . Mr . Adam states , that because the actual cost ot machine operation is greater than by manual labour , therefore the reduction of thehecklers wages is not produced by the former ; but did he not tell us the machine was adopted , in this very instance , because the men were standing oat at a price ef three shiUinga , upwards , of conrse from attemptevl redaction or insufficient remuneration : that the Alderman ventured a large outlay of capital rather tban yield i that taking his own statement , that iron or steel would work for less than flesh and blood , bone
  
  and smew ? Then the competition continues , till , to find employment at all , they must underwork the reduced price by some three or six per ieent . And the Alderman , reminded of this , does he abolish the machine in sympathy ? Oh no 1 it would yet aotject niin to loss of principal , so body and soul may complete the wreck of humanity I And this is the man whose compeers you are wished to approve as your friends J Tpa are called upon to thank a townsman , who has deserted and thus seeks-to betray you ! Do as you please . The motion was withdrawn at Mr . Davis ' a recemHtendation , and with him the mass of the audience then withdzew .

  FXNSSURY . —REJMJTIOW OP NATIONAL PETXtion By ike Scoxxish ^ legates —At the weekly meeting of the Finsbury Chartists , on Monday i * last week , Mr . Watte brought forward the foHowirigreso-Iution , which was , after sene debate on the objections to the National Petition , caaTied , and ordered to > be sent to the Simr . for insertion - > - " That it is the opimtn of this meeting that the insertion in the National Ptetttion of the people of the TJiiited Kingdom , of a coatplaint of the wrongs and injuwes of every portiea thereof was not only politic bvi expressive of : a wiee and just sympat&y for their fellow men , and furthei *
  
  that the people of every portion thereof are the best ? capable of judging as to what in 1 to theia a source of evil orof good . Tl » tthe partial rejection \« f that petitiob by our brethrea the Scottish Delegates , is to be attributed rather to-a wish to lessen the papular influence of English leaders , and a mistaken , though perhaps sincere , desire' to avoid the evil of placing too niU'cb power inthe-baud a of one men ; th » nt » any well grouatijed objection io > tbe well known gtieyanses of the people of Ireland being mentioned ttaerein ; - and this meeting further opines- that many vwH-meaiKng men have been on this occasion made the dupes ef men whose ostensible motiTO was not the res ) one .

  TH ' E . ' O'Connor DEMONSTaATiON . —Monday was the mbst glorious day for Chartism ever experienced in Leicester . We formed on * procession in the Market Place atone o'clock , > nd with two marshals on horseback at our head , followed by the Moonfc Sorrel harid , pur train composed of thousands of working men and women , with a score flags and streamers , followed by the Leicester Independent Band in uniform , and a carriage and four for O'Connor , with a carriage of Chartist women , c each Burrounded by Council-men and leaders bearing white wands , marched to the Railway Station , where we received the great chief of Chartism punctually at two . The sun shone gloriously , and eor gallant show , during one hour iand a half , passed through the most populous streets of the town . Cpopeii
  
  Bairstow , and Skevington , of Loughborough , weie honoured with a place in O'Connor ' s carriage , and each severally addressed the immense , concourse , fpllowed by Mr . O'Connor , for a few raimitea , from the : balcony of the George Inn , at the termination of the display . O'Connor ' s reception by the thronging thousands was truly Hearty and enthusiastic , and the whole affair was such a one , * as he himself confessed , he had never expected to witness in the Midlands . A tea meeting toot place at the Shaksperean Rooms , at four ; and oiir greatest Tegret concerning it is , that , from the immense numbers y > ho strove to get accommodated , so great confusion arose as to render it impossible for us to arrange every thing as we could wish . The spacious Amphitheatre ,
  
  ( perhaps the largest building of the bind in England , except the Opera House , in the Metropolis , ) was thronged long before eight o ' clock , and when O Connor appeared on the stage the plaudits were deafening , and were again and again renewed . When a verse of the Leicester Chartist Anthem had been sung , Mr 3 Cooper was appointed to the chair , and very briefly ^ but pointedly , introduced the business of the night . Mr . Skevingtonand Mr . vHarrison , of Calverton , ( each in a brief but pointed manner J , proposed and seconded the following resolution : — " That this meeting pledges itself to stand by the People ' s Charter , and never to give- up their demand for the whole of its principles , nor to agitate for any measure ; of Reform that falls short of the whole Charter . " This resolution was passed
  
  amidst reverberating acclamations . Mr . Bairstew then proposed ( in a speech of his usual elpquerice ) and Mr . Beedham ( our treasurer , ) seconded , "That this meeting farther pledges itself to support the incorruptible patriot Eeargus O'Conhpr , unswervingly convinced , from : a review of his whole political life , that he will never desert the principles ot the People ' s Charter , bat costend for them' to the death . " Theloud and prolonged cheering by which this resolution was received , whea put by the Chairman , was an unequivocal evidence oi the truth that O'Connor and Chattiim are conjoined in the- deepest affections of working men andvwomen . O'Connor , at length , rose , and for an hour and a half , roused : and delighted the hearts of the intmense
  
  audience , displaying the stratagems of false reformers , the cupidity of manufacturing philanthropists , the selfish spirit of aristocracy , the grasping practices of the priesthood , and then the broad and indefeasible character of the rights' of working men ; again and again , interrupted by bursts of enthusiasm and shouts of approvaL The ChairHian then gave out three more verses of the anthem , and after three times three had been given for the People ' s Charter , and the same number of cheers for O'Connor , ; the brave patriot gave the audience a brief admonitory address by way of farewell , and took leave of the people amidst renewed « oclamations Mr . O'Connor returned jo Xondon by the ffiidBlgW train . ' - . - - . ¦ ¦' ,. ¦ . ¦ ¦; - ; - ¦ ¦¦ . ¦ ¦¦ "' ¦¦ - . : v - : . - /
