      - CHDiS . jlr DSA 2 Fbiesd 3 , —If there is any trioiaph to - ^ eh more than another the honest politician and V j ^ gentleman attaches more importance , it is to ^ i of living down prejudice , and being able to z ^ tfj & course for which he has suffered insult ^ eontnmelj . When jour choice in 1835 placed rain that position which I hare since endeaTonred ^ gnesflj and consistently to maintain , I then in-^ med yon that " I shonH hare much to contend i- ^ ust ; that thongh unnoticed in the outse t , and ttKIb Serins strength , my pati might appear " smooth , jet when that sirength came to be directed 35

      lor jour service , my troubles -would begin . One 5 Bjson "why I ~ was no * assailed in the commencement $ f dt career was , because the great and ihe powerful sured themselves ihat if my popalariry became dan-—j ^ nsjomisralejl ^ ike mostof my predecessors , could jjes ^ aaced by the Golden Rule from the advocacy of -roar cause . This ia the usual , and by much the sjaesi mode of staying the march of democracy . In pkJB English , by buyiug the leaders , and thereby orating doubt and distrust in the popular ranks . Kot being sWe to injare you by purchasing me , they JaTehad recourse to the usual alternative in such OSes , of persecuting me .

      ^ j frknds , it is not sufficient that a public man -ncsTS his honesty or his consistency ; he should " also ie ask to establish his character for sound judgeoeE £ n £ prndense . He should be able to prove ihat be « "as not impracticable or visionary . Thai is did not oppose for opposition sake , but because Jsjs opposition was necessary , and therefore jnstifixble . * ot a * ^ sraie that upon the 26 ih of Sept . ] 84 l a deputation of my countrymen waited upon me * t Secies , to request that I would abstain ^ oa abnang Mr . O'Coimel } . My abuse ( if such it eonld Recalled ) was at all times merely a defence

      of myself , my pany , and my poBcy against his tiarges , However , 1 did make the promise ; and irem that time to the present I hare not menfioned Mr . O'ConneH ' s name disrespectfully , whil = he has no . abandoned his former course of slandering and decouueug me and my par ; y . 2 then told the Irish to watch him and to watch me , and to judge for ifcemsslves : and jjow I come to the questions at issue between us . All Ireland professed to sorrow for the differences between Sir . O'ConneH aad me ; Irat . of course , I must be in the "wrong Ton , however , thought otherwise ; and my principal object in writing ibis letter istojostify your

      judgme . 3 was twice returned "for my native county , upon a pledge to abolish the payment of tithes by the C&hoBc people to the Protestant Church , aad to . efieet , if possible , a Repeal of the Legislative Union 3 Ir . O'ConneB was returned upon the same pledges la 1833 , when seated , sad having discovered that Has Irish mind would go with him for s tchile in ^ rror , ha endeavoured to back out of his pledges for Sie purpose of conciliating the respectables . To me my pledges were sacred \ while Mr . O'Connell began to nibble and to advocate the instalmeat

      system . He called a meeting of Irish Members , at -sfcieh he proposed Ms instalment principle of jedndng tithes , instead of abolishing them . I moved &n amendment for the total abolition , and earned it . fie had made an appointment with Zoh 3 Aliiorp and Mr . Littleton , to receive a depniaiinn of Irish members upon the question of tithes , xra" proposed a string of namby-pamby resolutions -as ths ground-work of ditensaon . My amendment , however , © verraied the attempt ; and we , thirteen of bs , waited upon Lord Althorpe and Mr . Littlltton ; when , in violation of the terms , Mr . O'Connell pledged himself for the tranquillity of Ireland if the lastalnient principle "wa 3 adopted . This startled sn& astonished me : and I told Lord Althorpe axd

      3 Jr . Littleton that I did not come there to deceive them ; that Mr . O'Connell had not the . sanction of the delegates to make such a statement ; and that for myself I would nndertakeihat Ireland should never rest satisfied with any measure short of the total abolition of the imposi . Yon are aware of ihe n > e that Mr . O'Connell has made of the instalment plan , " get as jnnehas jon can , and look for more f and jon are ako aware of my reply . Look for all , if it is your fas , and be satisfied wiih no less . Tnis bit by bit rdorm only di-sgurfs jonr supporters , and arms your Deponents with arguments against altering session after session what was said to be satisfactory when ttmeeded .

      "WeQ , my friends , I have now before me Mr . (^ Cornell' s last letter to the Irish people ; and in it he lays down tfce five great ofcjec's to be scMered by Ireland as follows , and in the following aider : — Firstly , THE TOTAL ABOLITION OF THE TUBE SE 5 T CHARGE . Secmdly , Fixity of tenure for the occpyvn tenants . *~ Thirdly , The encouraging and perfecting of Irish Enrafactoes . Pounhly , Complete Suffrage and Tete by Ballot . Efikly , Abolition of the present Poor Law , and XBgaoitation of -weH-regulated charitable institnSojaJ "

      Sow , such , my friends , are the five grand objscts iorwlueh the people of Ireland are now to contend . Brssly , tie repeal of Mr . O'Connell ' s own act , aoJialliiig isck upon that principle for which I hsve ever contended . Secondly , ibe the Sxiiy of tenure ; to accomplish Tflieh I gave notice of my intention to bring a Bill Mo Parliament in 1835 , substantially to the foU lowing purport , "To compel landlords to gf ^ leases in perpetuity at a corn rent ; to take swsy fee power to distress , and in all cases Tthsrs lands are held under lease , ! fzii to a a raek rent , to empower a joy to assess the real valne in like manner I as tie Crown or public bodies asses 3 the Talne of jaivate property intended ior public uses . " When s i rtse to give the above notice , Mr .

      O'Connell now ^ nstifies my p olicy , which should strengthen your opinion of my prudence . Hear me then 2 Never within the memory of the oldest man living did England present such a picture as that which is new in a state of preparation . In less than one month from this date , those elements which have been long gathering , will come into collision , and the shock to our common country will be regulated in its force and effects by the part the people take . If yon lend yourselves as tools to those who have coined wealth out of your heart's blood , yon are ruined , and for ever ! If you give pliant ear to

      those emissaries who are NOW amongst you , you will lose that triumph , which , if you are wise and discreet , you are sure to gain from the clash of contending interests . If you arm authority with a feasible pretext for unbridling the worst passions of the powerful and the wealthy , you become a prey to individual malice and the law ' s vengeance . I caution you against Stcret Associations ; against giving ear to those who are paid out of the £ 50 , 000 wrung from you , and who , when pushed , will get up another outbreak to back them ; a moral appeal for a license to still f uxtber subjugate you to thtir contronl . All are bidding for vou and bidding against

      me , I ' ll bs at trek all ! if you but remain true to me and to yourselves . Have no secrets ! no iecret letter writing I no conspiracies 1 scout every rogue from your district who would urge you on to acts of violence I stand by yourselves and for your own principles . Bear this one fact in mind , when entertaining the question of free trade . The trade of spinning has been incalculably increased . It has become the great trade , that of exporting spun yam , and in the same ratio in which that branch of trade has increased , has machinery been improved , to make it worth the foreigner ' s acceptance , and in the same ratio has hands been dismissed , and wages reduced .

      Now mind , my good friends , that not one-third of the nnmber of hands formerly engaged in the limited trade of spinning are now employed in the increased trade of spinning ! while the wages of those employed have been reduced to about onethird of . the former amonnt I and then those displaced by machinery constitute a reserve for the masters to fall back upon . The same rule that applies to the spinners , also applies to the " pieeers . " Their numbers have been reduced , and their wages also have been rednced . I mention these striking facts to put you upon yonr guard , because I know the influences which will be brought to bear against

      you . I know that some of our old friends are in the market , and they perhaps may hope to carry you along with them . I know the influence the masters hare orer ibeir starving slaves . I know the influence that talkers have at public meetings . Bat thank God I know your power , aud only ask for its righteous exercise to be at all known . While yon are staring these freebooters can squander yonr money to accomplish their own ends . Tbet hats too I they shall not DESPISE , however , if I can help it . They are dead beat . . Now then the whole case is before yon—earth and hell is being moved to destroy me , becanse faction is aware that 1 am not for sale .

      Mr . 0 ConneU has justified my former policy , and 1 rely npon subsequent results to justify me in my present course , I am not in doubt , nor yet alarmed , if yoo remain steady , and resist temptation . We cannot be beaten except by ourselves . In twentyfive days from this time , yon will have learned what conrse the several parties mean to pursue . My course shall be to stand firm upon the rock of principle , holding justice in one hand , and right in the other .

      Ia conclusion 1 have only to request that Mr . O'Connell ' s letter may be laid before you in this week ' s Star . It appeared in the Chronicle of Tuesday , and when you are reading that letter upon tenure , and the land , and the advantage of having a large population of independent farming labourers , tken inink of the words ten thonsand tunes repeated upon the same subject by Your faithfnl Friend , Feabgcs O'Ccwsob . % * The letter to which Mr . O'Connor here alludes , it is impossible to give ibis week . As we purpose to recur to the question in our ntxt , it wiil then be all in good time . —Ed . N . S .

      The Chartists of Hull held a high festival oa Monday , in the Free Masons' Lodge , to evince their sense of the servic-s rendered to the cause by the Northern Star acd its conductor . Much credit is due to the committpe for the laborious and efficient arrangements which had been made , and by which the proceedings pas ? ed oS , doi only with a spirit , an enthusiasm , and a harmony of feeling , but with an ecJai , and an absence of confusion or cifnenlry , inown only to the meetings of the honest and hard-handed working men , and which effectually distinguishes their fesuvities from those of the . ** respectables . " The spacious Hall was beautifully ^ decorated with evergreens , & . c . Over the platform was tastefully suspended a gorgeous cap of liberty of crimson , gold , and green , the work aiid contribntJon of the Hull female Chartists , together with a tastefully constructed arch of lanrel leaves so arranged as to exhibit the word " liberty . "' About thirty -patriotic prints and portraits of O'Connor , irc-si , Emmett , &c . —the National Petition scenethe Manchester massacre , 6 cc , &c . —many of them in splendid frames , completed the adornments of the room . A quartette band of excellent musicians , and an tfficieni choir of glee singers , added much by their performances to increase the enjoyment of the evening . About five o ' clock , the Hall began to fill with the hene- ~ l sons of toil and their lovely wives and dangnters , clad in their holiday auire . About two hundred sat down to tea , ol whom , it may be , one third were composed of

      " That sweeter sex ¦ whom natare cobij made The austerities of man to soften And relieve . Keen sorrasre conch to tend , And dry ifllictioii ' s tears with hand of sympathy . " A little after-six o ' clock , Mr . Hill , accompanied by Messrs . Hobson , of Leeds ; Harney , of Sheffield ; Murray , of Glasgow ; and Arran , of Bradford , entered the Hall , amid the hearty and cheerful plaudits of the whole assembly , who rose to receive them , and continued cheering , until they had become seated in the places reserved for them . Mr . Wa . Chiesman , a working man , and a sterling democrat , was unanimously called to the chair , the nononrs of which during the evening , he discharged with great ability . The provisions were abundant and excellent in kind , and , after grace , ample justice was done to them ; the band continuing to play various airs , overtures and patriotic pieces during tea .

      A little after seven , the tables were cleared , and some hundreds of excellent Chartists whose" means ' forbade them joining in the tea service having been admitted , the meeting" went to work , " singing en masse , and in capital Btyle , the Chartist hanonal Anihem , which , together with the programme of toasts , & . c , had been printed and circulated amongst the company . The effect of the anthem , sung lnfnll chorus by" the whole meeting , and accompanied by the powerful band , was well deserving of the epithet grandV&nd was well calculated to prepare the audience for the fervid displays of eloquence and patriotism by the various speakers . The Anthem , condnded , and the company again seated in order , The Chatbhas rose , and-with a few sensible and appropriate remarks , gave » the , Pwple . " The band th ^ played" Bale Britannia ; " after which

      Mx . Hi&KST , Trio was reoeiTed -with lond cheers , said be felt that after all hi « toils , labours , and sufferings for nine yean in the popular cause , be -was more than repaid and rewurded by the flattering manner in ¦ which he iad been received , and by the compliment ¦ paid him by the Committee of Management in selecting him to speak to ih » flat toart of the evening , — " The People , "—a mighty and magnifident sntgect for the orator to dilate mpon , but one too gigantic for him to do justice to , The people , the source of all Jeptiinateiwirar-aye , and of illegitimate power , too . Ths Krarce , not only of that power which springs legi-) timately from the votes of a nation of &eemen-a sovereignty based upon the equal righto of all , but 1 also the source—and he deplored being compelled to

      admit it—of that power which was based upon ! justice , and : owed its existence to the triumph of wrong : for be held the doctrine of Ydlnej , that it was slaves that made tyrants—not tyrants that made slaves—( hear . ) The people are the source of &U power ; they are the producers of that wealth which confers power upon the idle and the useless . But for the people , of -what ntiHty would the broad lauds of this Island be to the aristocrats who acquired them by force , and held them by usurpation ? Of what utility would be the mineB of this country to their present possessors but for the labour of the people ? Where would be the -wealth of our leviathan capitalists , but for the toil of their care-worn slaves ? Their miHs would never have risen from the noil—their boasted machinery , which

      reversing the mythological fable , devours not its children , but its parents , the working ciassea , wonld never hive existed , bnt for the still and labour of the people . Where would have besn the navies of this country , the safa harbour , the warning beacon , the friendly H ^ bt-tViUbe ; is short , all the means and sources from which the merchant-princes of England derived their wealth , but for the industry of the people ?—( cheers ) . It was the people who tilled the soil , reared the millB , erected the bonses , made the machinery , built the shipping , ploughed the ocean , explored the mints , made all the clothing , created the food , and called into being the vast wealth of tbeir oppressors , thereby conferring upon them the power of trampling upon and scourging those

      to -whom they were indebted for their very existence . The sovereignty of the people had often been toasted by knaves who had humbugged the people to serve their own selfish designs ; but never until the present period had the people of tnis country shown any disposition to assert their owa sovereignty . In days gone by the people bad been used and flattered by those above them . They had shed their blood in the contests of rival moniirchs and factious aristocrats—they had at a later period , from the time of the so-called Commonwealth down to the carrying of the Reform Bill , expended their energies in enthroning middleclass Eupremacy upon the ruins of feudalism ; buA they had done nothing for themselves . It was only within the last five years that the toiliuc classes had

      evinced anything like the spirit of freedom . The year 1838 saw the dawn of a brighter era ; then was partially realised the dream of that truly inspired and eminently philosophic writer , the author of the Ruins of Eaipires , -when the standard of truth , justice , and liberty -was upraised—the banner upon which was inscribed in sun-beam characters that glorions watchword , the Charter and no snrrender—( loud cheers )—fnAttlling the vision of GaIHb ' b Eon , in separating the men of ¦ wealth froEQ ths men of toil , —the tit ' ed few from the enslaved many . Kiund the bright banner of freedom had gathered those who produced the 'wealth , paid the tax «! S , and fought the battles of the exclusive *—in short , the people . Whilst arrayed against them appeared the drones of the hives , the tax-eaters and tr : fficfeere in the blood of their fellow-men . So sublime a spectacle had never before been witnessed in this country , and now mark the results . The Chartists had been slandered by the lying scribblers of faction for their intolerance

      towards the middle class . Why all the strength the democratic party possessed they ewed to the fact of having . separated themselves and stood aloof from that rotten portion of society—( cheers ) . The Chartists had withstood five years of persecution , and year by yearhad increased in numbers , strength , and infiue :: ce ;; they had had to bear np against the denunciations of priestcraft , the slanders of the press-gang , the calumnies of such foul-mouthed factionists in the legislature as Macanlay of Edinburgh , the horrible craft of government spies and Iscariot-traitors—the terrors and vengeance of class-made laws , and last , not least , the desertion of leaders . Tet were they now stronger than ever . True there bad been great sacrifices , immense suffering ; good men had perished and brave patriots been consigned to the gloomy grave . Bat they died not in vain ; they perished in the cause of right aud justice ; and hallowed is every drop of tbeir heart ' a-blood poured forth for their country and kind J

      " Though foul are the drops that oft distil , On the field of slaughter , blood like this . For liberty shed so holy ib , It wonld not stain the purest rill That Bparkles in the bowers of bliss . G S if there be on this earthly sphere , A sight , an offering , heaven holds dear , Tis the last libatton liberty draws From the hearts that bleed and break in ber cause . " ( Lond cheers . ) Well , after all they had achieved and all they Baa snfferert tney were called upon to abandon their Charter in favour of a new-fangled thing called tbe Bill of Rights . They were all acquainted with the proceedings of the late Conference , —and here let him e-mark that but for the Editor of the Northa n Star , the

      voice of the people would not have been heard in that Conference , or , if heard , would have been drowned in tbe Clamour of faction , —bnt the watcher was on tha tower ; he gave the alarm , and the concoctors of the Conference were compelled to put in practice their own urinciple ¦ which they weuld fain have evaded if they could , tbat . of "full , free , and fair" representation . The Conference assembled , and on the one bnndred and ninety-three rejecting the precious piece of lawyercraft , dignified by the title of "Bill of Rights , " these gentlemen , friend Sturge and Co . abandoned the majority , and they , the minority , actually bad the insolence to constitute themselves the Conference , and did then ard there pass their Bill of Rights . They might have saved themselves the trouble to agree to

      that which must be waste-paper , without the peopled support The conduct of these gentry proclaimed trump-t-tongufed their innate dishonesty . Up to tbe spr ing of 1842 , tbat party hail been found either in the ranks of the enemy , or silent approvers of that enemy ' s acts . At that period they btcamesuddenly converted to the principles of Chartism . But did they join the Chartists ? No , they set np a new agitation of their own ; and now when another opp&rtnnity bad been offered them of retrieving the past by cordially uniting with tbe people for tbe future , they turn round upon the treople'a represent . lives and treat them with contempt . They bring men hundreds of miles to confer with them , and then so soon as they discover that these men will not turn traitors to their constituents , they tell

      them they will have nothing more to do with them . And -why ? Because forsooth the people's delegates would not take a pig in a poke , a thing they had never seen , but which ttey were told would occupy four hours in the reading , and reqnired the luminous expositions of some nameless lawyer to maie its points and details comprehensible ; a precious thing this to give op the Charter for . Give up the Charter ;—the Charter for which O'Connor and hundreds ef brave men were dungeoned in felon ' s cells , —the Charter for which John Frost was doomed to a life of heart-withering woe and for which Ellis has been doomed to share his fate : tbe Charier for which Clayton died in his wretched dungeon , and Holberry perished in the pride of youth , with none but filthy dungeon villains to close bis eyes ;

      ihe Charter for which Shell wrapped up himself in a bloody shroud , and poured out his life-blood in the streets of Newpert . What ! to suit the whim , to please the caprice , or to serve the selfish ends of mouthing priests , political traffickers , and sugar-weJg hiDg , tapenjeasaring shopocrars—give np the Charter ! Never ! — ( immense cheering . ) By the memories of the illustrious dead , —by the sufferings of widows and the tears of orphans , be would adjure them to stand by the Charter—( loud cheers . ) It had been often said that tbey « onld not j » rry the Charter without the aid of tbe middle class ; be did not believe in that doctrinehe believed the people to be omnipotent if only united . The middle class never had yet united -with the people on terms of sincerity , and he believed never would .

      The middle classes tell as they will work for us , but not with us ; so be it , let them do -what they please , but never again let the people -waste time and money in ' cpnfering' with these tricksters . ( Hear . ) No more Conferences for him < Hear , bear . ) Let tbe people look to themselves only " There -was a more potent ally than all the Tmi&dle-cl&ss * of England woiking for them though not with themnamely , the National Debt , —( lond cteers , )—their eld and faithful ally . Sir Robert Peel had tried the sliding-scale to satisfy the Leaguers , —persecution to pnt down the Chartists , and lastly , the Income Tax to supply the coffers of an empty exchequer ; and behold the results . That ravenous hordei the freebooters , were more clamorous than ever , while the very

      measures adopted by the Premier to ^ pacify thenii vji . the sliding-Bcale and tbe new tariff , had roused the agriculturalists , and set them in deadly array against him . The Chartists , despite plot * and persecution , conspiracies , and traitors , were more powerful than ever , though repeatedly felled by the blows of faction , yet like the giant of old , they bnt touched the earth , and rose with renewed vigour to the contest ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Ab regards the Exchequer , despite the Income Tax , the published returns of tbe last quarter's revenue shewed a deficiency on the quarter of upwards of one million , one hundred thousand ponnds— ( cheers ) . The fundbolders were already bawling out through the

      Homing Chnnide , that the present Government would ruin them . How would Sir Robert Peel face Parhament In this - worse than WhiggiBh plight ? let the people take courage ; events were working for them allpowerfully ; they had bnt to stand by their principles , surrender not one jot not one tittle , and all wonld be welL If corruptions had crept into their movement , let Buch corruptions be looted out ; let them compel their leaden to abide by the spirit , aye , and the letter too of Chartism , and thereby set an example to the nations around , and prove to the world that they were worthy of the rights they demanded . -. If leaders strayed from- the principles they were bound to support , then away with them , trample tuem down—( loud cheers . )—

      Plotting knaves cried out against what tbey were pleased to ca ) A denunciation and man-worship . It was denunciation tiHat bad kept the movement in its , present sound and healthy condition , —it was denunciation that would make the tricksters honest or drive them from the ranks of hone « t men . - There was less of man-worship among tbe Chartists , ' the O'Oonnorites , as they were called , tLan any party in the state . True they loved 0 "Connor for his straight-forward honesty , but the very men who were bis most determined friends would be tbe first to denounce him if he stepped to the rigbtband or to the lef u The justice they would do to O'Connor , they would do to others—no quirter to the

      humbugs —( loud cheers . l . Let them cultivate knowledge and union , each aad-ali labour to promote a knowledge of their principles aud to unite tboke who already adhered to them ; let the people look to themselves and only to themselves for their own enfranchisement , and all the difficulties which now obstructed their path would be overcome , the rights of the people acknowledged , and tbo sovereignty of the people establishedthen would be seen their country ' s flag—no longer the flag of despotism j but henceforth the banner of the free , floating over tbe national structures and temples of the land , proclaiming salvation to Eoglishmen , and hope and joy to the world . Mr . Harney resumed his seat amidst lond and , protracted cheering .

      Jlr . Barney ' s speech , after the cheers had subsided , was followed by tbe glee , " Awake , iEolian Lyre , " excellently aanjf . The Chairman then said thai the next toast he bad to propose to them he- ^ gbtd . give without preface , conscious that all he might ba able to say would fall far short of equalling the response it would find in their hearts— " The Northern Star . " ( Much cheering . ) Glee— " Hail , Smiling Morn " Mr . Hobson responded in an effective and telling speech of about forty minutes , during which he ran through the history of the agitation for the people's

      rights before and since the establishment of that organ . He attributed the high tone of political independence of the working classes * and tbtir general severance from the factious scribes to which they had heretofore been attached , to tbe exertions of tbe Star , in labouring to induce among them a habit of looking to themselves only for the working out of their political salvation ; ami be instanced the conduct of the people on the Cum Law question , and in reference to the various other matters of sectional and partial agitations which have been submitted to them as the best evidence that could be offered of the success which bad attended on its teachings .

      Mr . Hobson having sat down , the Chairman again rose and said , tbat be now came to the toast of the evening—a toast which he felt equal pride and pleasure in submitting to them , an 4 which he was confident they would receive with honour and delight . After paying some high compliments to Mr . Hill , he proceeded to give the toast , which was : — " The health of our respected guest , the Rev . Wm , Hill ; and may he long live to fight our battles in tbe bloodless warfare of right against wrong principles , with the energy , talent , and honesty , which have hitherto characterised his exertions . " The toast was received with loud and protracted cheering . An air was played by the band ; after whicn Mr . Hill rose to reply .

      Mr . Hill was received with every possible demonstration of respect and applause . He said that he felt quiet inadequate to tbe expression of the feelings which he might naturally be supposed t j entertain under the circumstances ; sumuaded by his neighbours , his townsmen , and immediate acquaintance—by those to whom he was best known , both as to bis public career and as to his private character—and thus loaded with tbeir favourable estimation , be might indeed count his position to be a high and proud one . Unable to express bis thanks in terms which be could think bentting , he must throw himself upon their clemency , and beg them to think for him all that of which his incapacity fell short . He said , they bad been pleased in their eulogistic toast to compliment his energy , his

      talent , and his honesty . Of thu talent which he might or might not possess , it became not him to apeak ; at least not further than to intimate his hope that the far higher quality with which it was associated in the toast , would always insure the direction of bis talent , whether much of little , to the achievement cf right purposes by right means , and tbe establishment of right principles fuT the promotion < f the common weal—( cheers ) . Talent , when used otherwise , was not merely valueless hut iuischeivous , and so much the more so the more brilliant and coimuanOllng tVmtghtbo . Howevpr nndeaerve'd might be the f * vdurable mention of his talent—he felt emboldened to appropriate the credit they were pleased to give him for a much nobler quality , and tbat was honesty . —( loud cheers . ) It was

      the consciousness of this that gave him confidence to meet them , and net them only but the world . " Strong armed in honesty , " he feaied the face of no man—( cheers . ) TUere were now present with him those who hod known him many years ; many years before the Star was heard of or thought of ; and he trusted they had always found him tbe same : man—the same straightforward and contestant advocate of right ; honest ami earnest , however feeble in his effoits—( hear and cheers ) . If he had any merit , or if be bad any influence , it was the merit and tbe influence of consistency : during his whole public life be had never yet found himself required to recall a word that he bad uttered , or to retract a line that he had written—( hear , hear ) . He had never found it necessary to qualify or explain

      away bis own meaning , or to shrink , skulk , or fly from any single const quence of bis own actions . He was bold enough tbento tell them tbat if he merited their good opinion , it was because he had dealt honestly with tbem , while be trusted that his " energy" was such as at all times to make him reckless of opposition and fearless of defeat in a good cause—ihear ) He felt that be might justly take credit for energy as well as honesty . Indeed they were inseparable . Ho who was honest was a ] ways energetic ; and from tbe combination of these two qualities , rather than from any talent above that of other and ordinary men , resulted whatever of beneficial service he might have been able to render in their common cause . Honesty and energy had given him boldness to fi ^ ht their

      battles without fear or favour . He had alike defied the iron band of power , the venomous and slimy coiiings of intrigue , and the strong prejudices of the people themselves . He had not hesitated to tell them of their failings , while he denounced the villanies of their oppressors . He had as strongly reprobated villany and dereliction of principle when exhibited In our own camp , as in that of the enemy . He ever would do so , for he considered it evem Jess pardonable here than there . tHear , and cheers . ) And as the best proof that he could give them of that fearlessness which characterises the honest and energttic assertion of right principles , he demanded from them , as an act of justice , not less to him than to themselves and their cause , that in according to him their confidence , they should do ao

      on the score of principle alone , withdrawing it the moment they found him to swerve , without the least regard to personal esteem , or past services . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Upon no other terms would he esteem their good opinion worth the having . He laughed at the idea , and trampled under foot the doctrine , that past services should screen present delinquencies in any man , and while he never would admit its application to others , he begged that it might nevet be applied to him . Taking their present kindness as an earnest ef their satisfaction , hithurto , with bis poor efforts , be would regard this splendid token ef their good feeling and good will , as an obligation on him ,

      in his course hereafter , to task to their fall stretch of power the qualities en which , they had been pleased to compliment him . To see tbat the talent they had spoken of , whether it be much or little , should not grow rusty for lack of using ; while he trusted that bis energy and honesty would lose nothing of their lustre by continual exftrcise . In conclusion , he waited anxiously tbe coming of the time when energy and talent might be less needed , because honesty should have been adopted as the basis and ruling principle of all our great social and political arrangements—as the foundation upon which might be erected a splendid edifice of justice for every Englishman to dwell in .

      Mr . Hill then sat down , and the cheering from all parts of the house was loud and long-continued . As soon as it subsided Mr . Garner , an excellent Chartist resident in Hull , &ung ia a style which delighted the whole

      audience"THE PBESS . " Tune— ' Brave old Oak .

" The soog was rapturously and deservedly encorecSTbe nest toast was the " The People ' s Charter " after which the ' Song of Liberty n waa { tastefully son by Mr . Moody , and encored . j

      Mr . CON m ubray , from Glasgow , in rimng to respond to this sentiment was received with-loud cheers . Bs began by assuring the audience that he was no speect maker ; aud if there was less of what he would term oratorical humbug , aad more of determined and straightforward action , ou the part of those wtjo came on th ^ public platform to advocate the cause of Buffering humanity , it woald tend better to consolidajbe the energies of the people on the great question of the Charter Suffrage—( hear , hear ) . Tbe right of every man to a voice in the making of laws affecting hia life and property , was not bow disputed by any man or any party . Tbe day had long since gone by when ths icon-banded Tory and drivelling Whig could , as in jfonner times , hold up their faces , and impudently assert that wo , the

      swimsh multitude , had nothing to do with tbe laws but simply to obey tbem ; and failing in this obedience , or daring to raise our voice , against their cruel and restrictive laws , we were ! brought up before such men as Lord A binder , jand by fcbeir cruel mandates , buried in damp dungeons- for years , transported beyond the seas for the whole period of our nntur . vl lives , or end oor days by the ignominious death of the acaffjld . Men of Hull ! the robber factions do not novr dispute our right to legiulatei but they say it is not yet expedient to entrust us with ithe franchise ; they say we wish to destroy property—we are the advocates of physical fo ; ce—that we are i infidels , and wish to subvert all social order by the total annihilation of Christianity—[ hvar , hear ) . These are ' a few of the

      grave and heavy charges from which the poor Chartists are called upon to defend themselves . Hb would then , in speaking to this sentiment , eoihfinei himself to a refutation of these vila calumnies and unfounded assertions . Hove have our despotic rulers arrived at the conclusion that we would destroy property ? It is we , the people , who produce all ; the van . pires who live on the vitals of this nation do not produce aaything . If property should be destroyed—if the reign of terror , of anarchy , and confusion ehould commence In England , none will bave more reason to lament the fatal results than the working men . He would narrate a circumstance which occurred in GreanocK , illustrative of the vicious tendency of the poor patriotic but despised Chartists . Ttey would no doubt

      be aware that in that town the people have been in a moot wretched and deplorable situation in consequence of the late depression of trade—wlum parish relief was refused them , and all other means b . id failed in keeping body and soul toge'her , three hundred artisans met in the Harvey Lane Hall ; they chose a chairman and secretary—formed in procession to begia morsel of bread from those that they had , by their labour , raised to the middle class ranks—in the evening they met in the same place , and all deposited their gatherings on one common table—thase who got shillings being content to share with others who were less fortunate—one poor fellow had met a good Samaritan who gave him half of a pig's head , asd although his ) family were starving , he brought it and laid it down for common

      use , content with getting an equal portion ; of what bad been collected . Who will dare to say that after such a spirit of disinterestedness , and under such trying circumstances , the patient and enduring people of England wish to create a spirit I of anarchy in their native land—the loved ) home of their respected and Venerable forefathers!—( hear . ) Oh , but our would-be liberals Hold us up as torch and dagger-men ; tbey tell us we wish to effact our purpose by a-bloody revolution . There is no conceivable jctime , however enormous , that is not ^ left at tbe door of Fearcus O'Connor and the Chartists ; but he would ask when did we take away the life of a fellow creature ? When bave we shed blood to justify our opponents in holding us up as such heinous

      monsters ? We have never raised our arm , unless in self-dtf nee , from the brutal attacks of [ an ignorant , savage , and mercenary band of legalised butchers , empioy&d and said by the heartless landed aristocraey , and the more refined torturers , the milloorats and wages masters —( loud cheers ) . Indeed , if the Chartists can be criminally charged , be believed it is in tbtir not using the powers which naturp had given them to repel the indignities and insult 3 to which they hnvo been subjected by the rnling few . He knew for curtain , if they used farce to prevent him from giving expression to what ho believed to ba the truth—if they raised a weapon to strike him down when , in his right as a British subject , he had met his fellowa to petition or remonstrate against

      what we could prove to be grievance of { the greatest magnitude , he should consider himself justified and ao way transgressing the law of nature in meeting f « rce by force—( continued cheering ) . We are jinfldels and would destroy the Christian religion . So says the Protestant Archbishop of Canterbury ; 8 © says Catholic Daniel O'Connell ; so says the Catholic Duke of Norfolk , aud that Prince of Butchers the iron { god of Waterloo . But , fellow workmen , is it not a f ^ ct notorious throughout the world that these very men are the only practical infidels in this country ; witness their anticbristian conduct in supporting a bloated and dominant Church , Tihich swallows up £ 11 , 000 , 000 ot the people ' s earnings ; witness the savage barbarity of the lazy , gambling , and debauched few who < Sousuiue the of my

      miserable fare of potatoes and aalt , the foo <^ poor countrymen , while 2 , 390 . 000 of these people are in actual starvation ; witness their bloody deeds in cutting the throate of tne simple and unoffending inhabitants of China , because forsooth tbey j would not eat poison to enrich , a few India merchants ; or their equally base and inhuman treatment of the brave Affghans , whose only crime consisted iij defending their father-land from being trodden under ! the wheels of Britain ' s blood-stained car —( loud and Ion ? protracted cheering ) . Witness their damnable and atrocious doings , and thun ask yourselves the question who (* re the infidels—the people or their oppressors . Thisjclap-trap of intidel Chartists has been got up by designing knaves to keep the working men of England and Ireland disunited ,

      well-knowing that by a solid union of sentiment and unity of action , humbug would be destroyed , and the trade of Ireland ' s political traffickers would cease to draw their £ 14 000 or , £ 16 , 000 a year out of wretchedness , misery , and rags—( great applause , and " true — true 1 ' ) . Whether , he would ask , are those who support a system that gives £ 115 a day to ope woman , between £ 30 , 000 and £ 40 , 000 per anr unit to her busbaud , and £ 6 , 000 to their son , while at the same time they willbnly grant the miserable pittance pf 4 : 1 . or 5 d a day to tile poor toil-worn Irish labourer ; ior 4 a . Gd . aweek to the industrious band-loom weaver ; whether are tbese men , or those who would raise ] their voice against such an abominable tide of things most deserving of being branded with the iepitbet of

      infidel ? Practical Christianity means the care and dt fence of tbe poor , the widow , and the orphan ; the Christianity of the British rul

      with the blood of a starving people , whose only crime ¦ was that of asking bread from those who had robbed them of the fruits of their industry by class-made laws . — ( Loud cheers . ) Is this not infidelity ? he would disgrace the term infidel by applying it to such monsters—he would call them blasphemers and peivertera of God ' s holy word , and he would leave it t 6 his fellowworking men , if even this was not too mildacognomeu . —( Cries of It is , it is . ) Mr . Murray then passed in review the conduct of the various parties who have governed this country under the names of Tory , Wbig , and sham-Radical , and classed them all under one common head , the avowed enemies of the rights of labour , interspersing his remarks with highly humourous and pointed anecdotes , which drew forth the loud applause and laughter of the assembly . Be then went ou to treat of the disunion that existed in the ranks of Chartism , its cause , and consequences

      and dealt pretty hardly with the political pedlars , who after having been wormed into political existence by the people—after having been clothed , fed , and paid by the whole hog men until tbey bad drained Ithem of the last farthing , vent over to the "Sucking Pigs ;* to ; play the same game . He warned tbe people to throw them off the moment they exhibited the least inclination to relax that atom policy which had placed the Chartists above all political parties in this country . He held that these men were the greatest enemies [ with which they ha * to contend 2 the Whig and Tory ' dungeons of England could not , even aided by the convict ships , do bo much injury to « ur movement as those little limping animals that professed such skill In drawing the badger at tbe late Conference .

Murray sat do-xn amidst thunders of . applause and the long-continued cheers of a highly-deligbted and well-pleased "audience .

      The next toast was " Th « immortal memory of stha patriot victims to class power . " D .. ink in silence * , and followed by the glee " Peace to the souls of the herota . " The next and last toast . of tbe evening was , " The Chartist sufferers unaer Government persecution . " This was ably responded to by Mr . John Arran , from Bradford . Mr . Arran was received with cheers . He felt himself placed in a very queer fix ; he was last at the feast ; one " big chap" bad nibbled a bit , and another had nibbled , and another , until there was " nout" left ior him but a bare bone to '' pike . " Mr . A . then west , oa to say— " There are three things which are tbe boast of England—freedom , civilisation , and Christianity .

      Freedom—England a fceedom is bitter slavery * Cast your eyes o ' er the fair face of creation ; look yoa through the habitations of men , and ia the cottage . of the poor , you will find misery , degradation , and slavery ,. i know that British feois have often sung" Britons never shall be slaves , " and fools they must . be to sing that song . Now , wherem does slavery consist ? It consists in involuntary servitude—not in the niers circumstance that a huciaa being may be bought aud sold ia the market ; that ha is niad « ths value received for his fellow-creature ' s gold and silver ; that he is considered as much a siaa ' 9 bona fide property as are his goods and chattels , bishouses , his lands , his boraes , bis cows , his swine of

      his dogs— no ; servitude which , a man cannot a ^ oid coo * - stitutes him a slave . " Tbe weight of chains , " aays-Algernon Sydney , " number of Btripcs , hardness of labour , and other effeets of a master ' s cruelty may make one servitude more miserable than another , but he ia a slave who serves the best and the gentlest man ia the world ; and he does serve him , if he must aeroe him , if he must obey bis commands , and depend upcabiswill . " When I consider the degraded and enslaved condition of the millions subject to an insignificant minority 01 luxuries , profligate , and bloated aristocrats ^ , and money-grubbing speculators in the profits pf industry , I feel indignant at the fact , and could like to aee the people rise in the majesty of their might and overthrow .

      their unprincipled and cruel oppressors ones ana far ever . SUall it be endured that they who produce all shall eternally pine in want and misery ? Shall the industrious sens of labour continue tha overburdened serfs of the ignoble and base born children of idleness ? Bather . I would that nature should become one universal desert ; ratber I would that the fig-tree should not blossom , and that there should be no . herd in the stall ; rather I would tbat the grass- should wither , snd the flower fade , and that tbe smiling corn should cease to wave its fruitful ear ; rather I - would that man should rise up and meet bis fellow man ia mortal strife , until 'the last human pair becoaie tbe executioners of eaeh other .

      A second boast of England is her civilization — And what Is civilization ? True civiirzttion is tba refinement of nature ' s sympathies and nature ' s principles—not the reversion of nature as now , but the progression of nature for the advancement of human happiness . It observes an abiding conformity to nature ' s , laws . Nature is sacred aud eught not to be interfered with , except for tbe purpose of improvement , so as tobetter make it meet the wants of the mass of animated beings . Nature' is impartial ; civilization should be equally impartial ; its principal duty is to make nature ' * produce more abundant , and to distribute with an tqual hand , that tbe comfort of all may . be equally promoted . Such ia true civiliz vtion ; any . thing , else is- a .

      cheat—a delusion ; aud worse , an injury to society-Look at facts ; England's civilization consists in tha undue elevation of the few , and the depression—tha prostration of the multitudes of tbe common people ; . in tbe reduction of wages ; the extension of working hours ; the employment of women and children ia place of men ; the starvation of the Union . Bastile , aud the imprisonment or the banishment of 1 the virtuous- and the brave—the best of mankind . The truth is that England ' s civilization is but a refined system o ! caoibalism—not man-eating literally , but mau-killing : most undoubtedly . The factory system , with its widening jaws , eats up its thousands of helpless , defenceless

      children ; the system of poor laws consume by degrees the vitals of vast numbers of unwilling idlers ; , the rent-roll , excessive and burdensome , breaks into , and breaks up , the homestead of the poor , happy ox miserable alike , and drives adrift into the world ' s , width , houseless and unfriended , men , women- and children , many of whom perish by the pinching band of hunger , or the stasving cold of fretzing wintr ; a profligate aoid vicious class of nobles and upstarts make a prey , of neglected , unprotected virgins , myriads of whom , after a short-lived course of false and infamous pleasure , die the victims of murderous- lust , eaten ud by unnatural

      . A third boast of Sngland is her Christianity . England ' s Christianity is , alas ! for the most part , nothing but hypocrisy and priestcraft . Our cities are crowded with ckurchc&and chapels—oar merchants and manufacturers and hioney-hunters of all sorts and shapes and sizes , are found regularly , piously , like their prototypes—tbe pharisees of elden times , thronging these modern , stately synagogues . But on this head I need not enlarge , as it has been already wall handled by my frieud Mr . Murray .

      We seek to remedy this state or things ; for this we meet , for this we agitate : we bring you not together for the mere purpose of speech-making . ; nst to spend a a hour in pleasurable amusement only , but to prepare the , public mind for a great and mighty change ; to lead oa . the people in the course of political progression . Our object is the perfection of public opinion , con ^ vinced that without thte ; no substantial ot lastr ing changa can be effected . We wish to convince men . of tbe necessity of the Charter , as a meaoa to an end , ; We would show , yoa how to get the Chaiie * * , and thatt when you have got it , it will remain , for- JOT to use iha power it wUl give you to work thoseisotf ai refonaa and social icaprovemento , without which too will never be either iadividaslly happy , or hr Ar Dv in the bosoms of you * beloved families .
