      TTHE SEAL SENTIMENTS OF " ILLS . O'BRIEIs OS THB ' . S , UESTION OF THE PBETEXDKD "UNICXtf TO THE MIDDLE CLASSES . " Being ar ^^ a ^ frcm a UlUm m ^ -pri ^ atel y by Owl Gentleman \ lo a Friend in Scotland ! "As-to ibe-prejscted union between the middle and working classes , it ia all moonshine ; or rather the « ff-pring of an old a > reement between certain fake "Chartists" and their secret friends , -the profit mongers , to which " respectable" class the false felloW either belong themselves , or aspire to belong So far as the honest workies are concerned , it , will be a union of hawked sparrows , or of wolves and lambs—the understood terms of which " nnjon will be , that the h&wks and wolves shall spare a few particular sparrows and lambs , on condition that the said favoured individuals shall aid and assist the

      a < or * Eaid bawks asd -wolves in getting more easy access to , and a more complete mastf ry ovrr , ail the other fparrews and lamb ? , that is to say , the whole of their respective " orders , " save and except the few favoured conspirators . Even the&e will find themselves ont-witied , and immolated in the long ran ; for the moment the hawks and wolves find they can dispense with their FeTvic 3 S , they will pay them Polypbemus ' s comi-limentthat is , " ear them lass of all ! " The only conspirators who will escape are the few who may have , meanwhile , emerged from their " order , " and got snufly incorporated among the ** respectable ' " orders" of cats and wolves . This , my dear * * is tie history of all pretended " unions" between the middle and working classes , and I entertain little respect / or the understanding of any man who

      txpeefcs any other result from the present u unicn . " There were sach onions established between the middle and working classes during the first French Revolution , bu : they all ended in the likeresultviz . " tbe niterliertructiDn of the people ' s honest Jeadeia—toe makmg tbeir fbrmnes for a few traitorsthe complete schjngatioa of the workie ? , who were fools enough jo trust in them , and an accession of fieree power and exemption from responsibility to the middle-class murderers of French society . The same will be the result here , if the " nnion" goes on / The false leaders of the Chartists will be made cse of to destroy tbelionest ones—the people will get rooie devoied than ever—then will follow cisappojntnieijj and disgust—then apathy and despair , and then canes the finale—increased power for the op ? res ? ot—increased misery { if thit be psssible ) foi the oppressed !

      and afterbiddin ? good bye to MeMr&M'Pherson , Storey , aDd the ] ami ] ord of the Temperance Hotel , ( Mr . Leader ) -where I stopped during my stay in the town , and who made me extremely comfottable , I went to Mr Kerce ' sto dins , and tbsa I started for Bury St Edmunda / . where I had s good meetlog , and fifteen members tooiont their cards . I have now Tiaited Lynn , Norwich , Wisbeach , H »» leston , Ipswich , and Bury St . Edmunds ; and I am proud to state that Chartism ia rapidly extending through the agricultural districts . The Association must be established in Swafiham , Deerham , Sudbury , Stowmarket , and scores of market towns in the three counties . ^^__

      I wish to point out ( more particularly to shoemakers , tailors , and members of other trades who are compelled to tramp from town to town for employment ) 4 o members of out Association who leave one town to go to another , that their first irquiry should be to discover if there are any Chartists in that town ; if not , to commence making gome . If any , and not organized , to at once unite them ; if organized , to lend his assistance to forward the cause . I Lave now to address a few remarks to the General Council residing in Lynn , Wisbeach . Norwich , Bury St Edmunds , and Cambridge , What I wish to point out is the necessity , the absolute ,

      paramount necessity of employing a talented lecturer for the three counties of Norfolk , Suffolk , and Cambridge . Toe Lynn , Wisbeach , and Norwich Chartists have promised me that they will raise their share of the expences . Now , if the means could be raised to employ one for six weeks ; to begin by bis own exertions in breaking into fresh townB , the residue might be raised to pay him for a quarter ef a-year . I bare been informed that Yarmouth will contribute to so laudable a purpose . I hope that the Council will take these points into their most serious consideration , as I am perfectly Eatiifled the Government have thecreatest dread of the agricultural counties being instructed in the principles of Chartism .

      In conclusion allow me to Bta « e that I cannot again , on any consideration , make another tour . The correspondence of the Association cannot be carried oa until I return to London . I should Dot have been away from it at this time , but that I had long promised to visit thes 8 three counties , in consequence of representing them in th& Contention . On Wednesday I started for Cambridge j the secretary , Mr . Tayior , was at the Coach Office waiting for me . We had a splendid and enthusiastic meeting at night . Mi . Cooper was in the chair . Eleven persons

      took out cards of membership . I forgot to mention that 1 fell into company wltli Mr . Sewell , one of the Londoa lecturers—ae knew me—I did not know him ; however we were both soon engaged in conversation . A gentleman sitting beside Mr . Sewell , said , " Why yon two are perfectly acquainted already—Why IlOW is that ? ' We toid him -we were Chartists , He asked the meaning of Chartism . I explained it . He Baid he was a Chartist I at once enrolled him . He lives in Newmarket , bnt dare not publish hia liame . Howevtr I have his name doWc .

      I ntxt visited Koyston , in Hertfordshire , where there was no Association , and Mr . Wood , Mr . M 'Donald , and other friends , said the wisest way to go to work wnuld be to explain the principles first , and see how they would be received . I acted on their advice , and after Iliad explained each . point of the Charter separately , I took a shew tf hands ; and when I had gone through the whole six , I told them they were all Chartists . At the conclusion I issued upwards of twenty cards of membership . I arrived in London on Friday —commenced writing . I have been Tery busily employed ever since . Last night ( Monday ) I attended & meeting of 15 , 000 persona , on Stepney Green . Alt parties will have their cards of membership by Monday next I remain , Your brother democrat , John Campbell .

      P . S . —Every place I visit , I recommend the Star , Statesman , and Circular . I send copies of this letter to the Star , Statesman , and Trumpet of Wales . Notice , all letters for me to be addressed to the care of ilr . Join CJeave , Bookseller , 1 , Shoe Lane , London , to whom all monies for the Executive must be made payable , and I wish it to be most particularly understood , that any letter for me in future , unless pre-paid , I will not release , as the postage is sufficiently " heavy otherwise . Cards can now be had through the London bookseller ' s parcels to the remotest part of the country with little , if any . expancs for postage .

      THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION . We hope that , upon this subject , we have made the people sufficiently to understand that the National Charter Association is one entire body ; not an association of different and distinct local bodies ; that . no meetings of any separate part or Bection of the Association , nor any meetings of the members of ike Association resident in any particular place , as such , can be ( legally ) holden ; but that they may still bear in mind , that in becoming members of the National Charter Association , they lose not one of their previously holden rights , as citizens and

      Chartists . They hare a right to meet in their individual capacity as Chartists ; to interchange their opinions aud sentiments upon any subject of discussion ; and if a difference of opinion arise , to take means for ascertaining how many of them adhere to the one or to the other side . They can , therefore , thu 3 talk over amongst each other , at their weekly meetings * any subject of public discussion in which they may feel interested , and express , by resolution or otherwise , their opinion thereupon ; and this local expression of opinion being carefully watched by the several officers of the National Charter Association , will be made to £ er ? e as a guide for their movements in reference to the matters afftcted by it .

      Every town aad village in the Kingdom may legally have a distinct Chartist Society of its own ; there may legally be two , or ten , or any given number , of such societies in any town . Any perssn may legally belong , at the same time , to as many of these different societies as he may choose . Each of ihese different societies may have its own council , and & ¦^ crDon may be a member of as many different

      councils as he may choose ; and he may speak and vote in all the meetings of all the different societies and councils of which he is a member . All these different societies and councils may be governed by the same rules ; but they must hold no official cor . Tespondenee with each other , either by letter or de-Ifgation . Any man who is a member of two or more of these societies may state to one Bociety , of which he k a member the transactions of another

      society ; but he must mind to do so in hts own capacity , individually , as a member of that particular society , and kot as a delegate s&oh thb otheb society . Every member of all these different local associations may be also a member of the National Charter Association ; but it does not therefore follow Vnat tte local associations are brandies of the National Association . A man may legally be a member of the Methodist Society , sad at the Same time & member at a- Mechanics' Institute ; all the -members of & Mechanics' instiiBte jnieht be also

      members of a Methodist Society ; bnt it would not therefore follow ^ tiat th e Mechanics' Institute was a branch oF the'Methodise . Society , or bad any coaceciion or coireppondcnce with it . Just so the infer mat ion communicated by a member to one local society , of the rcsolmions or plans of operation of any other local society of which he may be & member , is no evidence or COTieBpondence between the two societies ; not even if like resolutions or plans of operation should be adopted i » consequence of the information thus given : fkotided omv

      that tne said mforxnauon be communicated individually , on his own account and responsibility , and NOT IN THE CAPACITY OF A DELEGATE . This position may be thns illustrated . A man may be at the same time a member of two different money clnbs , one meeting at the Fox and Goose InD , and the other at the Hare and Hounds Ion . the Fox and Goose money club may have determined to advance no premiums to members without the security of two sureties in addition to that of the principal ; the same subject , of advancing

      preminms to members , may be afterwards discussed at the Hare and Hounds money club ; a disposition may be there manifested to advance on the security of the principal alone ; and this man may . get up and inform the club that in the Fox and Goose dab , of which he is a member , it is thought requisite to require two bondsmen ; and because of this information the Bare and Hounds Club may determine that they too will require two bondsmen ; and yet , it is quite clear that all this would sot prove any connection or correspondence BETWBK 5 thb two clubs or societies assucJi . ' - From all this it will , we trust , appear sufficiently evident that the boaie ? of CbariistB associated / to-

      gether and meeting with each other in the different localises , do so without any direct reference to the National Charter Association . They meet as distinct local bodies , having no necessary reference to or connection trith each other , The fact of their all adopting the same plan of government , of their all adopting like meane for the extension of Chartist principles , and of their members severally and separately belonging also to the National Charter Association , is merely incidental .

      These local Associations acting separately and by themselves give tone and expression to tha public mind , and the officers of the National Charter Association , through whom all its operations are eonducted , having thus the opportunity , of being acquainted with the public mind , proceed to act on it . : ¦ ¦ ¦ . . " . : " To make thia plain , we will suppose the nomination of members for the next General Council to be now taking place . The Chartists of Bradford meet in their usual place of resort , on Monday , evening ; among other subjects of discussion , the relative merits

      of nine men who have started as candidates for the Genera ] Council , and © nfc of whom seven are to be elicted , comes upon the carpet ; the people express their opinion upon the matter by vote ; they have a right to do bo ; it is a matter for public opinion ; and though this expression of public opinion forms no part of the actual opexationa of thft National Chatter Association , the sub-Secretary , whose duty it is to nominate the Councillors , will , of course , nominate to other persons than those whom public opinion has thus marked out for him .

      Should he dare to act otherwise , he would , in oitt opinion , prove himself to he be utterly unfit for his situation , and we should adviso the Association instantly to replace him by a more worthy man-The people must bear this in mind , that their weekly meetings , in their several localities , are not meetings of the National Charter Arsociation ; they are meetings of the Chartists thereabouts resident in their individual capacity . The business of the officers of the Association is , to watch the current of opinion in their several departments of the ChartiBt world , and to regulate their movements accordingly , '

      Every distinct local association should have its own books , especially a book of general entry , in which are entered the names , trader and residences of all parties making profession of'Chartist principles . Every local secretary who has not a book of this description should instantly provide himself with one , ruled in columns for the name , trade , residence , and date of entry . It would also be well to have columns to specify such as may be municipal or Parliamentary voters . This is the local register . It contains no test or declaration of faith or principles ; but it is known and understood that every

      man who authorises the insertion of his name in this book professes himself a Chartist , and he becomes thereby an enrolled Chartist of that locality . In this capacity he meets with his fellow Chartists of the neighbourhood , and agrees to or dissents from the several resolutions or matters of public discussion which come before them . But all thia has nothing to do with the National Charter Association ; of which he becomes a member by taking out his card fi ; dm any Sub-Secretary or other person authorized to enrol members . Generally the Secretary of every local association should

      be also a Sub-Secretary of the National Charter Association . It is then his duty to exhort every person professing Chartism in his locality to take out » card of membership in tha National Charter Association . For this purpose he either keeps a separate book for the enrollment of members of the National Charter Association , or which is perhaps better , he ticks off by some marks known to himself , the name of every one on his Chartist roll , to whom a card has been issued . It

      is his duty , at all times when required by the General Secretary , which should be every week , to Bend these names—of the parties to whom cards have been issued—for insertion in the books of the General Secretary , which ought at all times to exhibit a list of all the names of all the members of the National Charter Association , open to the inspection of all the members . Any neglect of this duty by the General Secretary would make hinueif and e ^ ery other prominent member of the Association amenable to the law . -

      Now we hope that , after this , we shall have less trouble with watching and rewriting the numberless Chartist reports that come to us . Let every such report begin— " The Chartists of such a plaC © met and did bo and so "; not -Th " e members of the ; National Charter Association , " or the National Charter Association" did so and so . Let all resolutions and addresses commence , not " We , the members of the National Charter Association , in public meeting , &c , but we the Chartists" of such or such a place ; so in describing meeting rooms , never talk of "the National Charter Association room" of such a place always " the Cbaitist Room . " So again , in speaking of Councils , never say "the General Council " of such a place , did so and so ; always " the Council , " or ' * the Councillors . "

      The various Chartist secretaries and sub-secretaries can have no idea of the amount of tronble they havo hitherto given us in reference to these little things ; notwithstanding that we have before , more than once , called their attention to it . Some of our own paid correspondents are equally careless . We hope that this final notice of the matter will save us the trouble hereafter , and save the rascally factions the opportunity whioh would otherwise be given them of gleaning evidence against us from our own documents .

      We hope never to see the people slavishly fearful of the law or its myrmidons ; but there is much difference between being slavishly fearful , and needlessly fool-hardy . There is no need to run our heads wilfully against a post . Bad and villanous as the law is , let ua at least comply with it as far as we can do BO , with a little extra care . We shall next week begin a general commentary upon the rules and coastitution of the National Charter Association , and the means by which they maybe safely and tffectuaily carried out , and our glorious cause pushed en to triumph .

      consummation long and ardently desired by the enslaved people of this " siayeemanpipatihg land , the rulers of which , weep o'er the sufferings of Afric's sons while they laugh at the calamities of those around them * - Vv ¦ ¦ ¦ .- . -. . ; ¦ ; ¦ - ; . ¦ .., ..: ;¦ .. : ..: ' . - ' ¦ :: V" ' " ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ i ; , "¦' . ' While perusing the ) debate in Parliament x > n Mr Duncombe ' s motion for an inquiry into the uncalledfor arrest of Dr . M'Douall ( whioh our readers will find in another part of our paper ) we could no * refrain from indulging in a laugh at the

      miserable sophistry to which our ; opponents are driven in order to screen the misdeeds of their underlings . Had the House been composed of men of common sense they would have made their exit long before the close of the debate . But any kind of irrelevant nonsense serves to rivet the sages to their seats when their purposes are to be subserved , either in coercing the people , sneering at their prayers , or squandering their hard earnings on the idlers , in the shape of pensions , grants , or emoluments . ;

      Mallaueo , appears , to us , from the circumstances detailed , to be a reptile who would not feel the least compunction to swear away the lives of one half of the country to serve the purposes of his employers . But such wretches arei ever selected by tyrants to do their dirty work . Honest men would much ratber beg their bread from daor to door than eubmit to become the paid tools of an overbearing

      oligarchy ; well knowing that when they thus engage themselves ., ; they forfeit their character and the esteem of every good man . Mallalieu is indeed fit for no society save that in which his : forerunner , BEAHAN / moveBj and we guess should he ever com > mingle with any portion of the community , other than the sneaking tribe with whioh he is properly connected , he will receive such a lecture as will deter him from repeating his intrusion ,

      We last week told our brethren to keep wide awake , and eye well ail strangers ere they accost them as friends , or allow them ip enter their councils . . We again repeat the caution : watchfulness is more requisite now than at any former stage of our movement . As W © apptoabh the haven of our hopes . oUTvigUance must be increased ; otherwise our anticipations may be cut off even on the very threshold of fruition . Chartists in various localities have very wisely refused to countenance any lecturer ue ! es 3 he be furnished with satisfactory credentials : this is as it ought tobe : but there possibly may be other dangerous characters prowling through the land , who may not ascend the platform , yet they may perfect their share pf a traitor ' a work I Beware !

      Wa are happy to announce that the harpies have Bi ' gnally failed in establishing any serious charge against M'Douall or others for the part they took at the meeting in the Broadway . Not even the shade of a shadow of evidence could be adduced on which to bang a charge of sedition , riot , or illegal assembling , and all the vaporing abputsuch matters in the tax-trap , were only wild dreams floating in the phrenz'ed brain of our crest-fallen legislators .

      Their tools , no doubt , were instructed to make out a case , subjecting the persons of some one or more of the leading Chartists to "durance vile , " but though the "blue bottles" might be full to the very neck with zeal to do their masters will , yet the materiel was wanting , and the Chartists have grown too wise to furnish it . Thus the affair dwindled into a paltry charge of obstructing the highway , and even this was unsupported by evideace .

      Had double the number assembled on the same ground to Witness an exhibition of Punch and Judy , the police would havo made themselves scarce , and the performance would hare concluded without interruption . Had some canting field-preacher occupied the ground for the purpose of vomiting forth a tirade of abuse against the "Infidel Chartists , " and corrupting the Word of God by promulgating passive obedience and non-resistance to tyranny , then the " force" would have practically obeyed-the latter portion of his creed . Anything to stultify the public mind must be encouraged ; but this was a Chartist meeting , and , of cojirsej the spy , the bladgoon-man , and licensed disturber of the peaco , must be at bis post , to do that which he is ostensibly commissioned to suppress .

      AH 'these / doings of the confederated band , Whigs and Tories , demonstrate their fear of our gigantic Btrength . They know we are in the ascendant , in fact the only powerful body iri the State . They dread us ; in our Btrengtb they see their own weakness ; in our success they perceive their own overthrow . We ar ^ e working peacefully and effectively , and shall assuredly come off more than conquerors , if we be wisev vigilant , and watohful .

      We know that our organization is such that every assembly of our body will be characterized by peace and order , if not interfered with by the myrmidons of despotism ; but as the wolves are among the flock , as the blood-hounds arb abroad , as the jaokals are in quest of prey for thp enraged lions , we conjdroour brethren to be on the look out , and fail not to give the alarm . We cannot now spare another man , and therefore let not the beasts of prey have another Frost , another Williams , another Jones , another CIayton , another Holbehbv . For the blood of the Chartists they pant , but let disappointment overtake them .

      JOHN ^ FRGST . In the House of Commons , on Friday , August the 2 < kh , Mr . ShabJuan Ckawford stated that he had been requested to ask the Noble Lord , the Secretary for the Colonies , whether the rumour which had been : circulated with respect to the convict Fnosi was true , to the effect that he was compelled to work in chains in a penal colony . Lord Stanley answered , that there was no such circumstance stated in the last official report from the Colony , and that he did not believe there was any truth in the rumour .

      The London papers do not notice this . We happen to know that the report is but too true ; A letter has been received by the family of Mr . Frost confirming it . The rascals merely deny it in the hopes of smothering public indignation .

      THE "NATIONAL ( CONFERENCES . ' ' V / e ^^ perceive froia the reply of the Executive to the Leicestershire Delegates , that , they persist in the call for a "National Conference" at Manchester on the 16 th of August . We wero in hope that the Executive would condescend to give the country a little more information touching the necessity , for these conferences . ¦ Such , however ; does not appear to ; he their intention . We know not what the country mean to dd about it , for very few places have spot en out about it . Howeverthotimeisathand , SjmI we * ihereforeimake ao apology for repeating the followingdirectioiiBifrpm ' 'ias ' t week'sfi'toir . in order that if the people do call those conferences , it may be done rightly and legally , giving no handle for the

      enemy to lay hold of . The 16 th of August draws near ; and the people , if they mean to have a " National " Conference , should begin to prepare . In the first place every delegate Bent to this ** Conferenpe * must be elected by a public meeting . Not a public meeting of the Chartist Association , but an open public meeting-a publio meeting of the inhabitants of the place , called fprtfy purpose . This must be particularly attended to . Any man going there merely as a delegate from any particular Chartist body would render the whole proceedings illegal , and every member ef the Conference liable to imprisonment . If , therefore , the Conference is to be holden , every place sending a delegate must call a public meeting for his eleotion .

      This , if carefully attend ^ tOi will constitute the meeting a legal delegate ^ meetiBg . And if delegates be thus appointed from all parts of the kingdom , in sufficient numbers , it may deserve the name of a national delegate meeting . We doubt its being so ; if it be , weshoald recommend the careful consideration of the planof prganieation ; with a view , not to itsalteratioti in principle , but to the further and more fui ) tarrying out of Us principles , by the appointment

      THE "DEBATE" ON DUNCOMBE'S MOTION . When the Tories are out of office , they , like the Whigs , can loudly inveigh against the acts of persecution aud prosecution perpetrated during tho sway of the antagonist faction . This , interwoven with strong protestations of their zeal for tha common weal , constitutes their stock-in-trade on their accession to power . But no sooner do they get firmly seated on the saddle of power than they show the cloven foot ; riding rough-shod over all who oppose their misrule , or expose their nefarious designs . The two factions evince a like deadly hatred to all who will not succumb to their vil .

      lanies , and laud their atrocities to the skies . They dread publicity being given to their deeds and would fain hunt every man out of existence who has the honesty and courage to draw aside tha veil , and exhibit their delinquencies to toe publio gaz ? . They know well that the peoople cannot now be hood-winked ; that they will uoi be diverted from their onward course , in pursuit of a complete or radical change of the Governmental system , by an ; faction-hatched

      humbug however tinselled , or by , whomsoever propounded . No ; the tyrants know that the' workies ' are now on the right scent , and will so continue until the game is xun down . Hence arises the hostility of the whole host of corruption to the Chartist cauBe . Against it all their artillery ia directed But , thank God , we live to see that cause rendered invulnerable to every attack , whether coming direct from the seat of Government , or [ from their hired subordinates . V "

      Chartism is now all-powerful I Like the rolling snow-ball it is incessantly increasing in magnitude ; while faction is bits dying agony , and must eoon be numbered amongst the thiosji of olden times ; «
