• itself in erery p * per throughout the Kingdom , and for what 1 For my prudence in not furnishing lend nthority with any justification for my apprehension , jad removal from you I No ; I hold it to be the ( JbIj of the people's leaders to avoid all chances of psrobising safety by committal to prison . Howler , it bo happens that certain politicians will go Timorously with their party , bo long asthe wateT 3 jre smooth , the cause respectable , and the undertaking * " >* dangerous j but upon tbe other hand , when alarm spreads , and danger presents itself , the rashness of their followers famishes ample pretext for desertion and betrayal . Contumel y and abuse is powed by the deserter npon his old associates , « g a justification for his delinquency . They are
nice , -wry wee , about shades ? they wonld hare been faithful and true , had their advice been followed , but eonader themselves bound now to express their dissent from the rash course recommended by interested dema gogies , and rashly followed by their dupes . Such , my friends , are in general the excuses offered by tham-frieads for deserting the ranks of the people . Now , I offer Done such ; but on the contrary , I am prepared to jurtify the general policy of the Chartist body , and to prove to the satisfaction of all , eava those who wonld fatten upon their slavery , that never was bo much misery borne with . bo mncfl submission or with greater patience . It is easy to denounce a starving people with acts of outrage ; but who will travel through the whole Isbvrinih as I have done , and taking a grand view
of all its tnaKs ; -who will then dare to condemn yen , npon any law , human or divine 1 Upon the ens hand , I see wealth , unparralleled profits , unequal and unjust ; unequal , because the wealthy spt-culator can overpower and destroy the smaller manufectHrer ; and unjust , because labour ia robbed of its share ; vfhOe , upon tha other , misery , horrid misery , gqualid misery , shocking misery , presents itself in the nakedness , paleness , and nnprotectedness of persons b y vf hose labour all profit is made . Let the reviling philosophers look for one moment upon this side of the picture . The labourer while at work sees nothing save indications of wealth and comfort . He beholds the wen-furnished mill , the wealthy owner , and the well-paid subordinates , all , one and all ,
Irving npon the fruit of his labour . He feels hunger and distress : his beloved wife and little ones cry to him for food , and their calls must be unheeded ; and the law expects him , as a good and loyal snbject , - % o / submit to perish . The law taxe 3 him , and compel him to pay the tax ; but when he and his fellows ask for a million of money , to enable them to weather the storm , then want of precedent stands in the way i He sees warehouses groaning under his baDdy-works , while his back is cold for tie want of them ! He sees the cook-shop here , the land covered "with a golden harvest , all bearing ample testimony ot his Creator ' s beneficence ; he he ^ rs the parson praying thai their "fruits may be preserved to cur Jcindfo use , so as in due time we may enjoy them f
he hears and sees all , but hearing and seeing ib his lot . The kindly fruits are not presorted for his use , though the toil to bring them to maturity for other's use docs fall to his lot . He hears of the distress of all classes , but sees no diminution in iflfiownforis of any , save his own . He is forbidden to murmur on his own behalf , while he is asked to join ia sympathy for those who but experience the comparative Annoyance arising from a slight stagnation in the market . O ! who can walk , as I hate done , through England's valleys of smoke and long chimneys , and see the parched inmates emanating from those earthly hells , and contrast their condition with that of their employers , without asking themselves , u Is this disparity between man and man the will of
an all-dispe ££ iag Providence I or wherefore has the irish of the Creator been thus perverted I " I will bow , my friends , direct your attention to the material points connected with the recent Strike . It would not have been prudent for the League to stop the mills directly , as originally intended , and it was therefore resolved to adopt an indirect , but as sure a mode of effecting the object . Wages were reduced , and a stand was to be made for an increase to the rales paid in 1840 . Now , had matters so remained , the mill-ownsrs would doubtless have turned the Strike to the accomplishment of a repeal of the Corn Laws , and their policy would have been lauded to the skies by their section of the press . In . _ such an event , a fewnr ardere would have been nothing , while every apology would have been offered for the venial indiscretions of the people doing their business ; bnt to ! the wiBest of the working men see that an advance
of wages to-day procured by a general rising , may be followed by a reduction of wages upon the calm ; md they proclaim the Charter as the means to the desired end . Not to extract unjust or unfair wages , but to insure " a fair dayi wage for * fair day ' s work , " when at once the originators , with all grades of parties , backed by the whole press fills the land with howlings against the men , who have turned an unrighteous attempt to a most righteous purpose . It is true that I can appeal to millions . In every one of m ^ speeches for the last four months have I not cautioned you , councilled you ! Havel not assured yon ibat the day cf battle would come ? and have I not advised yon to fold ytntr arms -until the conflict ceased 7 and I am happy to say that in most instances my recommendation has been followed . But above all things , my friends , let us not be intimidated by those who would now saddle upon us all the conBeqnei . ces of other men ' s indiscretion .
I tell you plainly that men struggling for political power should take advantage of every passing event to accomplish their end ; and had the Chartist body abstained from taking any part in the recent jpTOceedings of the masters , their conquered slaves would hare attributed the failure to restore wages to Chartist apathy ; and thus a general split would have assuredly followed . Above all , let us not lose sight of the great aad material fact in the general confusion : that faet is , that machinery will destroy
England , and that ere long , if the wages of the opera .-five ' s labour is not regulated in the natural labour market , ielow which , men need not wotk in the artificial market . The buzz must not frighten us from the consideration of who and what are the enemies of labour . Upon the one band , then , I tell you that , ere long , machinery will make 3 , 000 , 000 an over-population in this country , unless the great agricultural labour mart be opened as a retail market for the expenditure of labour , and creation and extension of a home market for manufactured
produce . And now , my friends , as to cheap corn insuring cheap bread , allow me at once to explode that fallacy . I have told you one thousand times over , that no act of a government to regulate the price of raw material eould by possibility insure any retail advantage to tha small consumer . Now just observe how I support my assertion . From the 11 th of July to the 15 ih of Angnst , there has been a rednction of fifteen EhflliEgs in the price of the quarter of wheat , wherea 3 upon the 11 th of July the price of four pounds of bread was ninepence halfpenny , and on the 16 th of Angus * the price was ninepence halfpenny : not one fraction of a change I Here then , is fifteen shillings profit upon 208 stone of flour between the miller , flour factor and baker : bnt not a single advantage derived by the small consumer 1
How will any Corn Law Eepealer account , or attempt to account , for that anomaly J Let me now direct yonr attention to the course pursued by the whole of the London press . In the first instance , all importance was attached to the strike by the press of die Leagne ; but the moment that body was frustrated , then , as if by magic , did both parties shake hands . when the bargain was struck that Government should receive the joint assistance of Whig an 3 Tory to destroy us . Thelyingreportsof all matters calculated to damn us were precisely the same—written by the E&me hand—in the same language and spirit for every rough daily journal , while the limes has extracted copiously from the Star of last week , for the purpose of saddling all the odium upon my back . with the of the
The Times quarrels publication Barnes of the heroes of Peterloo , on the 16 ih of August , 1819 ; and asserts that in tbe list is to be found many names of our most respectable millowners . Respectable indeed I What ! do these who received their Regent ' s and his Minister ' s thanks for their valour in 1819 , blush at the mention of their deeds in 1842 V . I Bat the Ttmrcomitted to state that the report in the Star was taken from the Leeds Mercury . However , I may venture to expect that the vigilant gentlemen connected with my office , will procure a file of the Times of that date , and by placing the then comments of that virtuous journal in jnxta-position with its present notions the-world will be enabled to form a just
estimate of tbe consistency of the leading journal of the Tory party . My friends , I at first laughed at the postcriptappeuded to O * BrienV letter of last week , wherein he asserts that all the Chartist leaders are to be assassinated ; but really * when I came to read the bloody attacks of the Chronicle upon Cooper , and those of tbe lime * npon M'DonalL . Clarke , Cooper , and myself , those attacks present strong presumptive : evidence in support of O'Brien ' s assertion . _ : Bat now , for one moment , let us consider the . Bttj-animity of these two leading journals . Sir John Eaahope jb M . P . for Leicester , and it is known tint the valiant-Cooper , udoq the first occasion . threaten
sub with oppQBiiion for the representation of that borough ; acd bo , like poor Frost , Cooper ia to be ^* gg& « 9 d to get rid of his op position .

presumed to offer to remunerate me for any Attempt toserve your cause , I would take it as an insult . So to pnt a stopper in the gaping mouth of the gaby of the Times , l will give any man one thousand pounds who will produce thelamest , or most indifferent proof that 1 received a fraction from Mr . Sturge or from any person on his behalf ; and I farther extend the reward to any person who . will in the lamest way supnort the assertion . I never in all my life received a fraction of a farthing from either faction , or any agent of theirs . No , no , my loved friends . Thank God , my hands are pure from Whig gold , as the Whigs well know ; and , thank God , they are pure from Tory gold , or the Nottingham election would very speedily have let the cat out of the bag , had they been polluted . And I go further , and assure you , that if any mortal had the insolence to effer me a bribe for an injury to be done to my party , I would kick him down stairs , and expose him to the
world . . Let me now lay before you a most important fact . An address , purporting to emanate from the Executive , has appeared in every London paper , I believe without exception ; and comments have been made by many upon the document . Yet has not one single paper published the address unanimously adopted by the Conference ! Is not this an attempt to destroy ns by suppression of facts ! However , my friends , as I wish the Star to be a book of reference for my conduct and your actions , I now come to lay a few plain facts before von . In . vhe first place , then , on my oath . —and you will believe even my word , —there never has been . any , the slightest , consultation , of my knowledge , or , I
believe , with the knowledge of a single leading Chartist , about the recent Strike ; on tha contrary , it came ' npon « s like a shock , and an unwelcome one . But now both parties would gladly saddle upon us all the consequpnee ! WelU we must bear them like meD , whatever be the result . Bat mark tke tyranny of suppressing all public meetings , and handing us , to whom they were a protection , bound neck and heels , over to the press for destruction . Does hot the increased hostility of the Whig press , which is the Anti-Corn Law pTefs , prove that we , the Chartists , have frustrated the Repealers in their endeavour to make tools of us ! Suppress the expression of public opinion , and ot course the popular cause . must die ; hut , in order to keep it alive , I have
succeeded in the fair performance of one man ' s doty . I promised you a daily paper to meet the last session of Parliament . I was disappointed however , in-my endeavours to establish one ; bat now behold , my friends , I have accomplished my object . The Evening Star is now shooting above the horizOD \ to it you must look as a substitute for suppressed opinion . Yon will , no doubt , read the address of the proprietors with delight , in which you are informed that tha paper is to support the six poin ' B of the Charter , name and all , and has taken No surrender' ^ for its motto , and that its managemcBi and entire control is placed in my bands . It is as large as the Globe or the Standard ; it is a stamped paper , published daily , and sold for threepence . M ^ ke it then , my
friends , the organ of our party . Take it at your clubs—your news-rooms , and your reading rooms ; and , as the keepers of aristocratic houses are compellwl to suit the taste of their readers , do yea also make V mine host" provide your favourite dish for you . I have another word to say about the Strike . Bear in mind that one of the Corn Law Conference relied upon a strike of the colliers as a means of ensuring a repeal of the Corn Laws . Bear in mind , that of all classes the colliers were not Chartists and bear in mind , that the colliers were the first to strike ; and that tbe mining districts have been the head quarters of the League ' s emissi&ries . Now , never lose sight of these facts : for assuredly we
must and will have satisfaction for ths blood that has been shed : and if no other man does , I will endeavour to have a full , fair , and impartial Parliamentary inquiry into the cause of the recent Strike , and who the originators were . I can give much evidence myself , and especially as regards Preston , where blood has been shed . Beesley , M'Douall , and Leach will corroborate the fact , that , after my tour m North Lancashire , I apprised them of the machinations of the League , especially at Preston . In strong confirmation of all , on Thursday l ast , as X was returning from Manchester , a gentleman accosted me , on the platform of the Birmingham Station , and
said" Well , Ma . CCojotoit , do tou thikh . that this move will prightei sl £ robbst , and q « t ihe Whigs back again ! I replied " No , the masters have caused this Revolution for our destruction . " "Nat , " said he , "kot so , but we mtjsn ' t AniDB the Tost swat por akothkb season . " . Thos . ' tbpn , my friends , is Chartism placed between the two fires ; disappointed Whiggery looking for office , and Toryism in . the plenitude of ita power ; but still by our prudence we will stand the double fire and remain unscorched . In order , however , to insure the . safety of our party , and to m 3 r the machinations of our enemies , we must not be foolhardy . The leaders must not allow the taunts and
jeers of their open foes and insincere friends , to entrap them into any acts of violence . That is just what the Whigs wish . Their game is , let but the Tories go on exasperating the people , and then , on a choice of evils , they will throw themselves npon us for succour . They know our terms . I propounded them whilst in York Castle : —thirty ' out-and-out Chartists in the House , to give exDreBsion to the popular voice : and away go the TorieB , and for ever ! but upon no other terms will I , for one , join in displacing one party to make room for as bad one . My friends , although I would not care one farthing if every letter that I ever received upon public business was placed npon the maTket-cross , yet I must complain that all my letters , and they are very few
now , are opened at some post-office . This was done by the Whigs in 3833 , during the sitting of the first Convention , when I received gome most seditious epistles , many of them purporting to come from officers , stating that , if once out , th < a soldiers would fight for the people . I invariably sent those letters with my compliments to the Home-Office for a second perusal .. This was my protection ; and now £ would advise ev « ry man , who may receive suspicious letters of the nature to which I refer , to transmit them at once open through the post to the place from whence thev came , and at every meeting that you can attend
pass resolutions , that you will not join in any secret association , or allow strangers to mix among you , or address you , for believe me treachery will be abroad . I rejoice , most heartily do I rejoice , at the statesman-like address with which the Trades delegates of Manchester closed their sittings . That was the way to insure respectand confidence . Would yon battle oppression at fearful odds ! Then why refuse to bring judgment to the aid of your cause ? These men have really proved themselves worthy the character of statesmen , patriots , and legislators ; and e ' er long their prudent and magnanimous conduct will cause all the TradeB of the empire to
rally found their standard . My friends , when tbe work of desolation ends then do my troubles begin : and as aforetime , bo now . Bear in mind , then , that many , very many , of our poor friends have fallen into the pit ot the enemy ; We must endeavour to rescue them ! the best counsel mast be had for their defence , and for those money is necessary . Once more , then , I offer myself as Treasurer to a Defence Pund—no profitable office to me—and I invite every man , loving justice and a fair trial , to remit his mite without
delay , by post office order , addressed for me at Mr . John Cieave ' s , 1 , Shoe JLane , _ Fleet Btreet , London . Mind , as in the ease of Frost , this cannot be delayed to the last moment . Let it , therefore , be set about at once , for assuredly the victims shall not perish without a defence ; and as meetings are prohibited for a season , each court of ju 3 tice , as in 1839-40 , will be a Chartist meetinghvuse . I request all good ChartiBts to communicate anything worthy of publication to the office of the Evening Star , 252 , Stand , London . be unitedbe
In conclusion , my beloved friends , , sober , be wise , be peaceful , and no power on earth can hold you in bondage . Onr disnnion , and not their strength , give your enemies the advantage over yon . From henceforth then , and fer ever , let every man who would perpetuate disunion in our ranks be scoated from them as traitors . For mj part , I shall not even condescend to answer any , the most vituperative attack upon me . I tell yon , again and again , that you have Tory spies and Whig mischief-makers among yon . Disappoint them , I pray you . . I trust that my appeal for a Defence Fnnd will be responded to by all . In London all meetings are pnt down for the present , but public opinion will not long remain under a bushel . By all means teach the shopkeepers that they have a direct interest in the well-being and wellpaying of the labourer . I am , Your faithful Friend , Feabous O'Cohxok . Hammersmith , AHg . 23 , 1842 .

Brother Chartists , —The events of the last ten days are known to you . The Conference disaolved , the address of the Execntlve appeared , and the Pre-»\ dent of the AB 3 oclatlon was aneBted ; not because any law bad been violated , but simply because the truth had been told in undiBguised language to an exasperated people . It appe&rfl that a warrant was Issued against me , and no doubt all the members of the Executive . I did not see much propriety in quietly submitting to imprisonment , when my seryices might be required ; and my friends would not allow me to run tha chance ,
therefore I walked round the gaping jacks in office , and escaped with the utmost ease . I have not been idle . We have had our encampmenta in the fastnesses of the mountains , where our enemies could not listen , and dare not come ; where the wild beauties of nature conveyed fr % shn £ S 8 and vigour to the understanding '; where we could both in sorrow and safety brood over the affliction of our country , and anxiously study the best means of destroying the tyranny of ages ; and where we were brought nearer to tbe great spirits of our forefathers who lodged with the moorcock and housed themselves in caves , whilst bravely contending for oivil and religious liberty in days of blood , and strife , and battle . Oaf for tbe glorious doings of our fathers , for the uncooquered spirits of the dead .
Is this glorious land to be for ever enslaved , and its everlasting doom to be written on the bloody pavement of its cities ? Arouse ye Englishmen , and baud in hand assist yonr brethren of Wales and Scotland , resolve to be free . Tou need only resolve . What care we about landlord or leagne now . The Charter is of higher import than the contentions of ancient and modern pluderers . We stand thus—Tne strike was one for wages—for the repeal of the corn la-sea . Hod we stood idly by we wonld have served the League . Hid we opposed the Strike altogether , we would caved served the landlords . - ' ¦¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦"¦ We did neither , we were consistent to our cause , jnst to ourselves , and faithful to our country . We neither bong fire , nor damned witb faint praise , but boldly , wisely , and timely determined the strike should yield , what fruits were in the womb of fnturfty for Chartism . That is > the sole reason of the course I have followed , with my colleague * .
Wfio can accuse us ? Who would have accused as had the movement driven the Government to repeal the corn laws ? All—because then it would have been said " why not have had the Charter as well V le is true we have had arrests . What of that J A step further and the only arrest would have been by the bullet or the sword . But revolution was not ripe as it was in France . The middle class oppose as still , and the trades are not wholly with ns . Either or both are necessary to the succcess of a involution , therefore I approved of , and supported tbe recommendation of the Conference and Trades for peace , law , and order , not from conviction that injustfce demanded peace , robbery , obedience to the Qovernment , or starvation order amongst the petple ; not for fear of of the army , of ma . rau < lera , but
simply because I trembled for a defenceless ondisdplined and unarmed people who are too poor to purchase justice , too weak tb demand it , and too submissive even to avail themselves of tbe means of protection legally afforded ta every man for the defence of bis bftmeaat bis liberty . None complain of a cessation of labour until the Chartei « haU become the law . They know that such a resolution ii merely flguraUve or else a declaraHon of war . If tbe latter , it is tbe annouBcemeDt of battle , and that would be stone versus bullet , bludgeon versus bayonet . According to the observation I nave made tiiroughout the country , I cannot recommend that coarse , or indeed any one which iscertaiB to fail ; not would I advise masses of unarmed men again to parade in face of the military . .
I have sure information , even onihe top of the mountain where I write , that tbe ' authorities itdend commen cing the mil / s in ihe south of Lancashire first , and when they have started them , the TRUSTWORTHY OPERATIVES in them are to be armed ; then the soldiers are to be withdrawn to the north and elsewhere , to force the people to work at the point of the bayvnet , and to shew no mercy ( such is the rutAiessordei-p / 'tAe ZordXieutenaniJ toman , woman , or child . * There now , ye itone-and-bludgeen bearers , what flunk you of that ?

Fourthly , the people shsuld , when deterred from meeting , publicly meet ia / jtreete arid wards , in the most commodlouB houses , and discuss the news as well as devise fresh means of passive resistance . Fifthly , they should nave messages exchanged between town and to wn and believe no rumour . Sixthly , one resolute motion should be put to all meetiogs , piedgiHg them to the Charter , > nd when so many ears are open , the great truths of Chartism should be unsparingly poured in to them . r'ln conclusion , I may remark that I support a con * tinuanoe of the Strike , chiefly because of my belief thafc some eTent may yet arise which we little dream of , which may toa like wildfire througb the nation and leave us victorious . The longer the people of the north are out , the chances multiply of London and Birmingham striking , and the whole of the south being made duly acquainted with our movement
Scotland is shaking herself for the struggle , and the strike there is the moat extensive that has yet occurred . Ireland takes no pattyet Wales is hjalf asleep . The continuance of the Strike affords time for fate to work ber slow , but certain , web around the tyrant ' s den . ThecesBation Of the Strike will not last , because wages will be more and mote reduced ; therefore , we will lose nothing Jet the result be either way : but which ever way it tends , prepare / prepare , prepare . .

Now , mind , I vriah io be most distinctly understobd , that at a crisis like the present , I will not attach all the blame of this extensivei strike to ^ the Ahti-Corn Law League , any more than I would to the landlords . No , no , my frieads ; both are alike guilty ; the landlords wish to keep up high pricesia corn , to enable them to get hi « h rent 3 , " a fad thus rob the people . The Corn Law Repealers wish to have free trade in corn to enable them to rob the peopte . - ^ Arcodes CCTto , —and it matters not ' to men single pin , whether the Cora Lawv Repoalera originated the strike Or not , it is our duty as Britons , as freemen , as Chartists , to turn this extensive strike to the advantage of the whole people .

" i That this meeting learns with sorrow and dis ^ may , that nearly the whole of tho Baanuficturing population hate foregone their usual industrial occupations ; that the discontent of the people has in some places broken out into open violence ; that encouuters have taken place , accompaaied with loss Of life ; that , in fact , civil war is raging throughout a large portion of Great Britain , so as to threaten an effectual destruction of security of property in all parts of the kingdom .
