      which I prepared -with a view of improring their organisation , and in -which my friend Tickers and the Secretary hare promised that the members' names shall be inserted . The class-book is formed on the principle of street-districts , -with a view to enlisting the serric&s of collectors , on onr Leicester system . 1 reached Sheffield on Saturday night , and with that intrepid and incorruptible spirit , Julian Harney , visited the widow of the murdered Holberry oa the succeeding forenoon . I -was much affected by the interview . She is a remarkably fine-looking woman , and in spite of all her heart-rending sufferings , wears a latent fire in her eye , ana a dignity in her carriage , that tellsyou she is worthy to have been the "wife of tbe unconquerable patr iot , Samuel Holberry . Great excitement still

      prevails in Sheffield , on the . subject of his death . They have got plaster busts of him , from a cast , taken after death , by Mr . Demaine of York , a young Chartist of great natnral genius . We will have one of theee bnsts at Leicester , my brave Shakspereans . Holberry bears the highest character for integrity . He was a very fine looking man and -was a head and shoulders taller than common men : his coffin measured six feet nine inches , and was but two inches within too long far the corpse Tea poor murdered prisoner was se completely skeletonised , that his widow could only recognizi him by his hair as he lay in the cofSa . Poor woman ! no wonder that she became delirious ! now , however , she is happily recovered . May the God of the fatherless and tbe widow be her support . I preached twice to the

      Shtffieldirs , in the open air on Snnday last In the evening , the death of poor Holberry was part of my theme . His faithful widow sat in a chair ciose by the table en "whicn 1 stood , — and -witb . a perseveranca and - ardour Which prove her to be a woman of no ordinary ValUB , —gat torouoh the whole discourse , surrounded by frum sis to seven thousand people , and would not move from the ground till 1 hud enrolled one hundred and fifteen names as Chartists ! I thought , as I gave her my arm to conduct her off the ground , amidst the thiong cf hundreds , who crowded round to gtza , —that if every Chartist in Etgland could have seen that brave , bereaved , and noble -woman , —they would have sworn , as I did , in my inmost soul , either to compass the downfall of the horrid tyranny by which her

      husband was martyred , —or to spend life in the attempt Ic the name of the departed patriot , let this poor ¦ w iuow be remembered , and that effectually , in every Chartut locality . On Monday night the Town-hall had been hired , for fear of rain ; but we were compelled to adjourn to the Hsymarket , immediately on entering it , through pressure of the immense numbers . Till ten o ' clock , I addressed as large a number as on the preceding night ; and I believe the enthusiasm was so deeply-eaated , and so \ 7 iaeiy spread , that I Eiiould have been able to enrol two hundred more names , if it had not Deeii dark , and I had not been completely spent Hsrney , however , enrolled thirty-two names , at the 100 ms , alter that time of night .

      1 should have told you , by bfcloved Srlgade , that 1 introduced our favourite song ; "We'll rally around him , " and » - > ma o ' . her snatches , common at Leicester ; * nd the Shefieldera , as -well as the Bclperiaus , learnt them right heartily , I got to Leeds , amidst a disagreeable change of weather , on Tuesday afternoon , and was compelled to lecture in a small room , noi capable of containing more than 500 people , at night . The meeting had been announcer , for the open air , but it was imposible so to held it The vast majority of my audience , of course , ¦ ss-ere earelled Cbartists ; but I enrolled twenty-two new members , nevertheless , at the class . Mr . Hill , tte invaluable editor of the Star , addressed the meeting in a pointed and energetic manner , after I had concluded .

      On Wednesday , I had the unexpected delight of mating our great champion , O'Concor , at the Star OfSce ; and after paistog a couple of pleasurable hours in his company , I set out for Hclbeck , a suburb of Leeds . The meeting had been called for in-docrs , but I persnsded the Holbeckers to turn out , and we tad a pleassnt meeting , in the open-air . Sixty were enrolled at the close , ana I ltf t the Chartists of this district of Leeds , full of enthusiastic admiration for our popular Leicester BODg , " We 11 rally around him , " and also for our stirring chcrus " Spread the Charter ! spread the Charter through tie land ! Let Br itons , bold and brave , join heart in hand !"

      ORGANIZATION . Thebe is not , at the present tims , any other subjfcCi of so much or of such immediate consequence to the people as this . It 13 only by union that our power can be known and manifested , and it is only by organization that our nnion can become effective . It is not enough , that an uniformity of opinion should obtain among the pgopie ; there must also be aix uniformity of energy and determination univertally manifested . In nothing can the fixed purpose and determined ejiergy of tho people

      be so well manifested as in the steady aiherence to all the principles and all the details of their own national plan of organization . We have never b&en in the habit of assuming for tie Northern Star , the position of a dic'ator or a guide ; vs-e have sought rather to make it a reflector iQ .-wh . ch the public mind—the people ' s will—should appearinitsown j-isiproportions ; striving only to pre-Teht those proportions from be "; i ! g marred or hidden by the machinations of laa treacherous , the attacks of open fce 3 , or tho folly of indiscreet and

      unreflecting friends . We are , however , qaite aware that a large portion of ear brejoren look to us , and depend on U 3 , for the necessary word of caution , whensvtr , from any of thete causes , or from any other cause , danger may be apprehended ; and we should ill discharge the duty which we owe the poople if we neglectsd so to do . We have , therefore , oa several late occasions , bid the people to remember who were now in power , and who were seeking to make tool 3 . of them to attain a double objecttho affrighting of the Torj Government anxi

      the making of more elbow room for vfcsir machinery . We hare seen that there 13 great danger from the neglecting to observe generally the national organization ; whereby the fcody-bscomes liable to the Telentiess inroads of the landsharks—the lawyers and middle-class jurors . We promised in tbid matter , last week , to rapublish in pur present number the plan of organizxtion , of which some Ioealirie 3 and some officers of the

      association seem really as ignorant as if it tad never been published . That plan we give in another column ; and we beg that it may be read , learned , and inwardly digested by every Chartist in the kingdom . We append hereto the observations made nponit in the Northern , Star of the 6 th of March , 1841 . They axe as clear as anything we could now write upon the subject ^ and as necessary to be noted now as when they were first written .

      * Among the many good things whioh O'CoRffKLL has said , we remember one saying of his : that" the next best thing to being right yourself is io pnt your enemy completely in the wrong . " We fully accord with' this doctrine ; and hence we have ever been most anxious that the operations of the people should be conducted peacefully and legally : knowing that if their moral strength was well marshalled ,

      and their numbers well organised , they were invincible and irresistible j—able to carry any measure of a wholesome and sanatory tendency , without -violating any of those forms and appearances of law with which the harpies have fenced round the carcase of corruption , in tho hope of . feasting undisturbedly thereon . There 13 no power in any state successfully to resist the rl £ ht ? OTi 8

      demands of a people , united in purpose and opinion , and bo organised as to enable them to express their opinion and to prosecute their purpose as one man . Of this the factions are meat perfectly aware \ and hence their highest dread has ever been the organisation of the people , and their greatest care to provide against its existenoe . It is only by a well digested plan of Organisation , generally understood and acted on , that the power of the people can be efficiently made mmifest . The isolated struggles of individuals , or knots of indiviclualSj or separate societies or localities , even though all directed to

      the same end , are but like water thrown by bucketfulls out of a mighty river against the walls of a citadel , which ex pends its force in impotence , producing a splash and nothing more : while a national organisation , enabling the whole people to move at the same time , and in the same direction , bending their energies against the same point , is like the mighty rushing of the whole torrent , against which no obstacle can stand . The vast importance of this subject has been always seen , both by the people ' s friends and by their enemies ; and hence , from the time when the House of Commons was first sought to

      be emancipated from the direct oontroul of the crown , and placed in its due position as an independent branch of the legislature , to the present moment a period of about 250 years , an incessant struggle has been going on , between those who wished to organise , a : nd those who wished to destroy , tho expreBsion of the people ' s will for right . This ' straggle baa been carried on with more or less of spirit , a 3 the parties anxious for right , and understanding it , have been more or less numerous , talented , or

      influential . It would be easy to run over the entire history ; but it would comport neither with our space nor purpose to do so . Suffice it that the lynxeyed jealousy of faction watched every movement ; and , having ia their hands the power of law-making , met every organised movement with new and more close restrictions ; till it was thought that effectual provision had been made against any possibility of any national organisation existing- , other than such as might accord with the designs and purposes of the dominant class .

      The laws now in force , in referenca to political societies and national organisation , aro comprised in two most sweeping and comprehensive statutes , the 39 Geo . Ill , chap . 79 , passed in July 1 / 39 , and the 57 Geo . III . c . 19 , passed in March 1817 , undso well are the meshes of these two insidious and iufamou 3 statutes spraad out , tint it was doubtless deemed to ba impossible for any " national " organisation to escape them . And so it would be , in the absence of a national organ of communication . When the scoundrels hatched this

      iufernal piece of villany , they did not calculate upon a Northern Star rising in the political and social hemisphere , and sheading its rays ov ? r the entire surface of tho Empire . That advantage the people will now feel , as , by means of it , iboy may be enabled to make the plan of organisation , now offered them , as thoroughly efficient as it is perfectly legal ; aad thus bafflj all the _ &rts oi' all the enemies of freedom . In calling attention to the plan of organisation propounded by tho national meeting of delegates , and to the mode of working it , we begin with placing before our readers so much of tho provisions of the law upon the subject , as were capable of being brought to bear upon the former plan .

      Freemasons , Quakers , and all societies of a pure l y religious or charitable character , and in which no Olhar subject shall , under any circumstances , bo diecuFsed , are specially exempted from the operation of tbe r-ts above-named ; and with such exceptions only , ' by the united force of these acts , every Si > c ; oty the member of which , or any meinbera whereof shall , either verbally , or in writing , subscribe , or asieat to , any test or declaration , not required by

      law , is an ualawfui combination asd confederation . See the carefulness with which villauy has drawn the net strings 1 Nut content with prohibiting such oaths , tests , or declarations as might be against the liw , the words not required by law extend the prohibition ta all voluntary declarations of whatever character ; even a declared determination , by tho members of any sDckiy , to uphold the law , might by this clause be construed as illegal .

      Tina raade the very outset of the former system of organisation illegal . The fifth paragraph , on " The conditions of membership , " being as follows : — 5 . All persona will become members of this Association on condition of signing a dec l aration , signifying their agreement -with its objects , principles , and constitution , when they shall b « presented -with cards of memtarship , which shall be renewed quarterly , and for which thoy si » all each pay the sum of twopence .

      Kow , this signing a declaration was quite ' -unnecessary-: every man desirous of being a member Of the Association , of course agrees with its objects principles , and constitution . The " signing" is no protection against spies or traitors , whom the good seuse and vigilance of the members will as easily detect without tbe " signing'' as with it . In the new plan of organisation it ia , therefore , omvt' . ed ^ Every Chartist is supposed , necessarily , in virtue of his being a Chartist , to desire tho objects—to hold tho principles , and to approve the constitution , of the Association . This is the ; iirit great improvement of the amended plan ; by which the fangs of the le ^ al harpie 3 are removed from one limb of their prey .

      The , next has relation to the abolition of tho classes , ward diT . ' yns , and local officers and council ? . By the Acts beforo ns . ! 2 cd , every Society composed of dffirrn ! bra-. ches or divisions , acting is any MaN . nek separately or tiislhicily from each other , or of xch ' wh t : v . y part diall have any distinct President , Secretary , Treasurer , d ^ efjaie , or other officer , ok XSy P £ BSCN aciir . ff as such , elected or appointed by or for inch part , or to act IS ANY OFFICE for SU'h part , shall be deemsd and hoi < iuu to bo an unlawful combination and confederacy .

      This , of course , brought all the classes , all the Toy . " ii Councils , a , U -ward divisions , officer ? , and Councils , ali the local Treasurers , and Secretaries , and all the Riding and County Councils , within the meshes of the law . Becxuao in . all "these cases the several part 3 of ; he Assosiatiou acted separately and distinctly from each other , having reference to their own local arrangements only , and without any reference to , or any overt cognizance thereof by the

      whole Society . Tha Council for Bradford , for instance , was a distinct Council for that locality . It was elected by the members residant in Bradford only , and its functions were clearly referable to a ^ part of the Association , separate and distinct from the other parts . In like manner , the Treasurer and Secretary for Bradford were officers oiily for that part of the Association , and not for the whole ; and so on for all the other local officers .

      Having declared the cases m which political societies shall be deemed unla ^ vf ul combinations and confederacies , these Acts provide : —That any member of any sveh society , and every person who shall direotly or indirectly maintain correspondence or intercourse with any such society , or with any division , branch , committee , or other select body , president , treasurer , secretary , delegate , or other officer , or member thereof , as saeh ; or who ihall by contribution of money or otherwise , aid , abet , or support mchsocicty ^ or any tnember thereof , as such , shall incur certain penalties . The penalties are of two kinds . u 1 . By summary process on information before ONE " Justice of the Peace ; on conviction , a fine of twenty pounds , or three monthB' imprisonment in tho common gaol . 2 . BY INDICTMENT ?

      ON CONVICTION , TRANSPORTATION FOR SEVEN YEARS . " Thus was it doubtless hoped to render anything like a national organization for political purposes utterly impossible , without subjecting all the parties therein concerned , to the full penaltits of this master-piece of class-legislative villany and cowardice . Indeed , our opinion was , after having carefully and often looked through the acts , that there whs no possible mode of escaping their pre-

      Untitled Article

      visions , ! otherwise than by taking advantage of some one or © 'her of the forms and names incidental to soma one or other of the special exemptions therein provided ; > And as we most conscientiously believe the Christian relig ' on to inculcate all the doctrines of truth ¦ and righteousness , personal , social , and political ; as in fact we hold politics to be part and parcel of Christianity , and inseparable therefrom , being mixed ; up with , springing out of , and fiastaininjs ; all its principles and doctrines , we were desirous to have seen , for the first time

      since the age of the Apostles , a true Catholic aha Christian church , acknowledging , in all the fulness of their comprehensive import , the precepts of that religion which . being hitherto talked of , bat neither understood nor practised , has been , and is now being made , the most fearfully effective tool that ever tyranny employed for the destruction of man ' s liberty , and of all clear recognition of the principles of moral right . We hold the principles of Chartism to be religious principles , and every Chartist society to be consequently a

      religious society ; and we were desirous to see them so declare themselves , and leave to the rile herd of despots the option of openly and manifestly trampling under foot their own lawa , or of crushing ^ along with Chartism * Methodism in all it ' s varieties of aspect , thei association of the Baptist churches , the Society of Friends , or Quakers , the confederated unions of Unitarians , the newly-organised aiid admitted -association-. of "Rational Religionists / ' and every other religious society whose creed , forms , discipline , or worship , should involve ,

      declarations of principle not required by law , or the several societies of which should correspond with each other , Or appoint deputies to meet each other , or in any other way transgress the almost all-comr prehensive provisions of these two acts . This was our opinion ; it has been our opinion long—in fact throughout the whole movement . We were sorry to be unsupported in it by O'Connor , for whom , and for whose opinions every- true Chartist must have respect , amounting almost to veneration ; but we permit not even the respect due to him to shackle as

      in the entertainment and the expression of our own honest sentiments . Wo ask , however , for no deference ; \ we are quite contented ' . to have Our ... opinions estimated by the people , and to accept for them just so much influence as they are thought worthy of . The National Delegates rofused to shrink from the direct avowal of their political objects and purposes ; claiming tho right to consider their principles to be those of religion , they would not take advantage of that right to place themselves in any other position than ' the bold and manly one of meeting the

      enemy in front . Their voice said , almost unanimously , " Let ua go right on—legally , if it may be —illegally , if the law be suchas that we cannot comply with it—but let us at all events go right on . " In the spirit of this determination they sat down , with the law before them , but without any assistance from its paid / mystifierSj to exercise the shrewd"judgment of plain working man , the clear Leads ot teetotal Chartists , and the earnest anxiety for tho " following of peace with all men , " of

      Christian Chartists , in the concoction of a plan of national organisation which , while it conducted the people ' s operations on a straightforward and avowed basis , should , at the same time , render strict submission to .. all , ' even tho moat tyrannous , requirements of ih . 3 concentrated essence of tyranny , which lay before thorn m the two Acts of Parliament so oft reverted to '' -above .- They have succeeded , we believe , to the very letter and right glad are we to congratulate them and tho people upoa that success .

      The entrapment of the local Councils has been wisely provided against , by the amalgamation of all those into one body , as a General Council of the whole Association ,. provided for in No . 7 , of the new plan . The entrapment of the local officers has been in like manner provided against , by making them not local , but general officers , acting rospeelively , not for a part , but for the whole , of the Association . While their election , not merely by the members . ' , resident- in their own locality , but by all the members of the Association , guards effectually agaiuSt the Wily trap of a part oi' the society acting separately acd distinctly from the other parts .

      Tno Bradford Councillors are to be now considered , and indeed are ,, not . local-Councillors for Bradford onty , but nu-mber 3 of the General Council , by whom the whole Government of the whole Association is conducted , and whose residences happen to be at Bradford ; the Bradford Treasurers and Secretaries arc , ia like manner , not Treasurers and Secretaries for that locality alone , but Sub-Treasurers and Sub-Secrotarie ? , acting under the

      direction of the General Treasurer , and General Secretary , and performing such duties a 3 may be necessary te assist them in conducting the affaira of the whole Association . Thus , every officer acts as an officer , not for any part separately or distinctly , but for the whole . Thus , every mesh of this most elaborately and oautiously co ' nstruoted legal- ' net , has been avoided by the wisdom of the delegates .

      Of course , and of neoossity , the plan , to be legal , is exceedingly general ^ and it may bo siomewhai undefined , in its detwls ^ Wq observe some of its provisions which are liable to abuse , and which may , unless precluded by tho prudence Qf the people , give rise to somo incouvfcnience in its working ; but on comparing these "lost carefully with the tortuouij enactments of which its cohcoctors had to steor clear , wo are fully Eatihfied that no other way , or , at

      icast , no other way so gcoi could have been adopted for securing tho double objact of tho delegates , the active operation of the people , and the eviting of all collision with the law ; and wo know too much of ihe people not to feol satisfied , tliat when , those Points . are . fairly laid before thoin and osplainoU 'heir watchfulness' and prudenco will como in to tho assistance of their leaders , and take : caro that that shall not be crippled in operation which has been devised so well add wisely .

      We have studied the plan most carefully ; wo think we understand it ; and we haye ho doubt of being able to show the people that , though its form is apparently more general , and its details less bracing , than the original , but illegal , plan of i > rga > nisation , it may bo made in working to superadd tQ the immense advantage of being perfectly con-i sonant with * the law , every praouoal advantage posseted or provided for by the old plan . For this purpose , as we have been requested by the delegales to call to it the attention of the people ia a series of articles , wo shall return to it , probably more than once . Wo shall take up its several clauso ^ , and

      shew the people how we understand them ^ -how : we think they should be applied in operation—what , means we advise for tho avoidance of any iuconvehience which might otherwise arise , frem any necessary laxity of expression forced on its .- authority by the tyrannous mandate of the lavv ; we shall show them how , so far : ; as we Understand thig document , they may , by a careful and universal adherence toits provisions , go on , ^^ certainly , safely rlegally successfully , and triumphantly , in th > prosecntion ' . of those great principles , to ^ which the beneyoleniand just of all classes are pledged and bound by their adhesion to the rules ond principlea of moral rieht .

      Thus shall we put our enemiea completely in the wrong , by fencing ourselves round wwith the ( provisions , not merely of moral ; social ^ and religious , but of legal right ; taking all ihese upon their own shewing . TheV National Charter Association of Great Britain may tiien ^ bid / defiance to the Government . It shall stand ; it ehall prosper ; it ehall flourish , in despite of all their power , and in despite

      of all their sophistry , or they shall do one of two things—they shall ; make a speoial law for 'its extinction , as was done with the London CorrespbadingSociety—Cthe very law now in amended operation , by wkich it ^ as ho ped to eitinguieh all Political Sooieiiea for ever ) --or they shall at once throw off the mask , which we haye no doubt they will do . as eoon as they inay deem it expedidntj and , trampling under foot all semblance of respect

      REAL UNION WITH THE MIDDLE ¦ . '¦ .. ' ¦ - ' ¦ CLASSES . j " ¦ ' . ¦ ; . - : ' We have bnt just time to point attention to the proceedings as reported , in another column , of an important meeting of shopkeepers at Burnley . Our effort has been for some time back to show-the working portion of the middle Classes , the honest Bhppkeepers , that their whole interestsi . are inseparar We ; even for a moment , from the prosperity of those whose pence fill up their tills ; happy are weto see one portion of them apparently conyinced . The shopkeeperB of Burnley take the right course . They apply ( for the true remedy ; and they do so in the

      right way . They do their own work : the people very properly not interfering to destroy the distinctive character of their meeting . With men like these there is some hope of an useful because honest union / And this Is just what we have all along told the people must come if they were but faithful to themselves ; and forbore to go over to the middle classes instead of insisting on . the middle classes coming over to them . Let them , however yet be wary . The Burnley shopkeepers are not all the middle classes . The war is not over because

      one regiment of honest mea have joined us . The Leaffie are as crafty and as willing to lay hold of popular gnpport without giving anything to the people as they ever were . Let the people read the-following silky , wily , letter ; to the Chairman of the anti-Corn Law Cohferenoe in London ;—"My Dear Sir , —I thank you for your communication . I think you will have another Delegation from Coventry , but not for repeal only-- ( cheers . ) The people here are ripe for a struggle ; We have to-day presented a requisition to the Mayor , well signed , at a short notice , to call a meeting to consider the state of the country . He has done eo , arid we meet ou Tuesday . Our measures are not ; resolved upon , but wo cannot keep the people baok : and I think

      we had better give the reins in favour of democracy . Do urge upon the Leaquti tho propriety and policy of leading the people * Wb want but leaders , and we will do anything and everything , but the masses will not restrict their efforts to Corn Lai ? Repeal . Our language will bo denunciation of aristocracy and clas 8-logislation , and defiance of the present H ouse of Commons . I shall be glad : of ; the latest information from head-quarters , that our measures on Tuesday may be ia harmony , if possible ; will you write on Monday night ? : Above ali i impress upon the Delegates that if they want the people at their back they must lake up the suffrage question . Without that , their efforts are hopeless , and the people will throw themselves upon more daring and reckless leaders .

      " I am , yours truly , ¦"' . " J . WHiTTEBW , " Let this letter be well read . It exactly corroborates and substantiates all wo have ever said aad written as to the obvious purpose of the new-fledged patriots in " taking up the Suffrage question "—just to place themselves again in the position of " leading the people . " Let the people submit to be again "led" by them , and whither will they lead thorn ? To the Suffrage I Not thoy , indeed ! but to the accomplishment of their own projects of " Extension , " when , with small ceremouy and less feeling , they will hand over their blind * followers to an amount of ruin

      even greater and more pitiable than that which now engulfs them . Let the people but keep their eyes open , and their feet steady , and they are all right .

" Sir , —Tbe last number of that vulgarand stupid rag , the Northern Star , contains a column of abuse of me , grpct ' nded upon a pure lie . invented either b ; that wretched tool of ^ Peargus O'Connor , the elitor of tho paper , or niore probablyinveuted by abject FVargashimeelf , to try to HtJtve a purposa .

      "Now , is will be perceived by reference to the reported evidence , that I never once mentioned oralluded , directly or indirectly , either to Chartists or Chartism . I could not have done so , for the person from whom ! got my information at Bloomabury , and who was by my side , and who gave bis evidence at Bow-street , a person of the name of Fdhbrothor , '¦ ¦ ; distinctly ; - declared thit he had heard that the observation was made at a different kind of meeting altogether .
