      In a country really independent , the laws and poiity originate within its osm bosom , and are calculated to ^ xteno Hbs adrantages of tae stote , wbethcr natural or acquired , and to oecoTer its defects .

      liarrow ccmmerdal nottons to consider Ireland not is the -companion of her prosperity and tlte pClar cf ha strength , bnt as tbe rj-ral of her indns&y , and the ia-¦ vadeiof h * er opulesice . It is such to be lanienti > ji that the goyeminentB of this chantry , in a long soccessipn , sad with few exceptions , have been too apt ts fone to themselves ideas of a certain foreign interest , snpe * rior to that of the country they are appointed to govern , incompatible with it , and the prosecution of which , 8 tfeey think , ought to be tbe ultimate object of th * 2 adminirtraSon .

Ireland they consider as a mere cypher , or eren an some occasions as s negative quantity ; and cs these principles they hare conducted themselves like an insulated garrison , with difficulty TtiRintainxnjT jtp station , and supporting itself by Inroads and depredsnons in a hostQe and exhausted country .

      CHARTIST VICTIMS . TO IMS EDITOE OP THE KOHTHEKM STAB . Dkas Sib—^ As I perused the Leeds Intelligencer of Satnrday hist , which was Msdly lent me by Mr . Oastler , happened to fine the following paragraph in the Parliamentary Intelligence : — i " House ef Lords , Monday , June 12—Lord Whamcliffe moved 1 he second reading of the Milbank Prison ( the Penitentiary ) Bill . The Noble lord « aid it was a remarkable fact , that prisoners in this Penitentiary remained generally in good health foz a short time ; if however , they were kept longer in confinement in it they became deceased . It was the intention of the framera of the present Bin to remove from time to time tb . B Millhank prisoners io the prison at Pewtohville . The BUI -was read a Becond tima . " ' There , Chartiflts of Great Britain ! -Who - will now deny the humanity of Lord WhaxnclifFe , and the government of which he forms a part ?

      It may not be known to tbe Chartist public that a large number of persons who were tried at the late- Special Commission held at Stafford , were afterwaidB removed to Milb&ntc Penitentiary ; among the rest my friend Joseph Xinney , a warmhearted , sterling , and hardworking Chartist , who has been very useful at Bilston , Dudley , and the colliery districts ; and although they seem to have forgotten his services , { as is generally tbe case when a man is imprisoned , ) I trust that the people of England will not allow him , and our other victims now in the Penitentiary , to be taken to that damnable den called PenlonviUe Modd Prison , to

      be either muxdeied or driven mad , without making an effort to deliver them . Let us have no more nonsense such as "three cheers for the Victims , " and such like fusti&n ! Set io work now in gwd earnest Here are some of our best men abcul to be destroyed . Remember that already there is one murdered man who was a Stirling Chartist . Ashley died Last tteekJ and should others be removed to Penionville , we shall probably never hear of them sgsin . Remember the iron masks and other instruments of torture , which forms part of the rules of this worse than French Bastille , and then ask yourselves what is your duty on this occasion ?

      In conclusion , Mr . Editor , I trust you will publish & list of all Chartist prisoners , where confined , sentence , number of family , residence of their wives , fee , as numbers of our friends in London seem desirous of assisting those who refuire their aid . \ I was yesterday informed that Bobert Wilde , of Mottram , now in Knuisferd House of Correction , has left a wife and two children , who are in a state of utter destitution .

      BEPEAL OF THE UNION . B Ieelakd for the Irish" ! What a talisman is contained in those four wordB ! What an array of opposing interests , conflicting purposes , and antagonistic principles do they put in operation ! And yet how fair , how reasonable , and how just are they t They involve simply tho one principle of rirfit agatnst wrong—of power against right—of fraud against honesty—of a nation against a faction .

      As "we proceeed with the consideration of this great and mighty question , we feel our responsibility increasing as the a ^ itaiion progresses . The state of Ireland now presents a picture , not only novel in those days , bnt cnlike anything to be ; found in the whole histoxj of tho world . It is folly to deny that although , no force has been used , the two countries are at open war ; and upon the issue depends more than seems jet to have entered into the conceptions of many of our friends .

      When we read the bold and significant addresses of Mr . O'Co 2 tsxll to a mercurial people , npon whom they are calculated to make a powerful impression ; likely , from their sarcasm , and vengeance-breathing tone , to excite them to deeds of almost instantaneous madness ; and when we Snd such a people still satisfied to rest tansely under their several maladies —ine causes , the nature , and the consequences of which are so graphically described to them , — h evinces an amount of individual controul over National Mind which has never been exhibited before I

      Upon tbe other hand we find the Ministerial party blocking up tbe country with war-ships , and overspreading the land with a military force ; while the same enthusiasm which is to be found in the unarmed Irish peasantry is far from distinguishing the armed invaders . In tfoSs state of things we naturally look to the Press and to the Representatives of the people in Parliament , for some Eolation of this political novelty . But so far from finding anything satisfactory from either of these sources , we merely gather from the persevering ignoranc * and obtoseness of the former and from the reckless consistency of the latter , that should the Union be Repealed , England thus shorn of her fair proportions will owe her weaknessshould weakness follow—to her Press and her

      Parliament . We can readily understand and account for the breathless interest and anxiety manifested for the issue of this straggle by the whole Chartist people , who see in it the recognition of theirown sacred principle of self-government . We can understand too , and we can . honour , the adhereney to principle which makes our Chartist friends watchful and suspicious of O'Cosskll . They have certainly had cause in byegone times to make them doubtful ; and hi 3 present condnot , on the supposition of sincerity , they are unable rightly to appreciate . They

      conclude—and with great appearance of reason—that hi 3 rejection of the Cfaaxlists' aid ; iB proof that O'Coskell has no purpose to sneceed ; and that he waits but a convenient [ opportunity to place the question in abeyance and make merchandise of Irish credulity . We see the feeling whence this rises ; and we repeat that we honour that feeling ; for it is the feeling of honest men indignant at injustice , and at whatsoever may perpetuate its reijjn . But are our friends quite sure that they take a sufficiently enlarged view of the entire field 1 Repeal , as things now stand , is no thud ' s play question ! It

      requires a master-mind to grasp its whole position , and to arrange its . forces for the peaceful combat . No man can doubt Mr . O'CowHELfs competency . His is a giant mind—an intellect thai sees more at a glance , than common men in a wholo life time . W e are disposed , therefore , to give him sea room ; and not to press him hastily or too heavily . As we said last week , so we now repeat : we desire to j ; ive every man credit for the best motives by which he can be actuated ; and we make Mr . O'Coskell no exception . Possibly he may q&to in view some stroke of policy which ws

      do not yet see , and which may sufficiently excuse ihe apparent suicidal coarse he ia pnrsuin ^ . Mr . O'Hjggins well says : ** wkh the means , or intended means of Repealing the Union , none but the b itiated staff are yet acquainted . " But we can by m > raeaiis agree wish Mr . O'Kiggiss in the opinion thai these means are the very first thing that ought to have been generally divulged . On the contrary , we can think of many circumstances which might make it a first duty of a leader to keep back this information till the precise moment when bis own judgment tells him it may

      be given safely ; and even to hazard the good opinion of the hasty rather than give reasons for his conduct , when those reasons may involve the safety of his cause , or the practicability of the means contemplated . Lastly , we remind our friends , as wo have done before , that Bajoel O'Conkeix is noi Ireland ; bnt that IRELAND Dtauuvrs Repeal i and Ireland is in earnest ! 1 Whatever cf disposition there might be in C'Cokxei-i . to evade the push , the possibility of doing to grows fiaily less ! We apply to this case , the excellent parallel reasoning of 0 'Biggh . s : —

      Some people hare gone so far as to say that tbe Ca ^ iiolic laity pis thsir fa il : to ^ , he slet to of ihc priest , by v . hum they are L . d blindfold . Nvv ^ i tiieleas , sbeuld any Carbolic priest deviate but occ single Hep from the creed which the poorest layman

      Untitled Article

      believes to be true ; let him give up but one iota of that creed , for the purpose of conciliation or expediency , and the poorest and most ignorant layman would no longer confide in him ; would no longer follow him- ; would no longer truBt him but would firmly abide by the creed he was taught ; and pity , in the priest , the frailties of human nature . The poor fellow ' s heart would sink within him ; and he who would a few minutes before suffer a thousand bullets to pass through Wb body sooner than allow the priest of his choice ; to be molested in any manner , would , in esch an event , remain firm in his creed and leave hia fallen spiritual leader to his fate . "

      This is just m point . Repeal is the political creed of Ireland ; and , theugh O'Conkell should xecoede to-morrow , not a jot would he carry with Mm , either priests or people . They would have the Repeal for themselves ; they would get it by them-Belres j and fth » y would pity and despise O'Connell in his dotage . No man knows this better than G'Comnkh . He is quite aware of it . He knows that there is no retreat for him . And , if any man will read his speech at Clare , given on our sixth page , tie will perceive that he knows exactly his position , and has made up his mind to it .

      Whatever doubts we may have entertained as to the policy of Mr . O'Conneli , upon all former Repeal ebullitions , he has recently cut all ground of suspicion from under the most sceptical . And now we change our tone from that of anticipated failure through deceit , to one of admonition . We have before expressed eur belief that those jumping articles which hare recently appeared in the Times were bnt decoy duoks to arrest the attention of the assailed , while the assailants were completing the machinery for Expressing ihe Repeal agitation . If we couple the altered tone of this garrulous old lady with the stand-still policy announced by Sir James Graham , the suspicious return of the Orange alien Lords to

      their conquered estates , and their affected respect for- national prejudices by the abandonment of their annual festering Orange demonstrations , we can have no doubt that suoh was tho object with which the conciliatory articles in the Times were written . It is a curious fact that while the sagacious Editor of that Journal could not , some few weeks ago , learn from any quarter , north , south , east , or west , neither from " the communicative traveller , " nor " the B&gaoious resident , " a single practical grievance of which the Irish could justly complain , we should find in the Times of Wednesday last , the " grievance" of cottier tenants being ousted , and thereby , rendered reckless , set forth as a "National Malady , requiring immediate correction . "

      Leaving the Times to the pleasing reflection that its virulence towards Ireland and every thing Irish , has sown the seeds of disaffection in that country towards everything Eng li sh , we now pass on to a consideration of Mr . O'Connell ' s position . It ever has been the fate of the sincere friends of Democracy to bo prematurely hurried into a direction of public opinion by the over zealous , the over cunning , the thoughtless , or the reckless . The cause of Chartism has suffered more from tho indiscretion of it 3 own friends , than all other cwises . We trust that Mr O'Connell , while

      he stands firmly to his object , will not be dragged into any premuture step whereby the wholo cause may be perilled . Tho people of both countries having long suffered under the tyranny of class legislation , can surely afford to fold their arms and smile , through one campaign , at the polished steel which their discretion and peacefulness may render harmless . A civil war , once commenced , may be carried on for years , and ultimately result in tho further subjugation of the working classes , leaving no other moral behind than that justice cannot be based on blood ; whereas , a triumph gained by moral dignity

      orer physical force teaves upon record tho imperishable fact , that moral power , when judicioubly used , is unconquerable ! The means of carrying on this peaceful agitation for a Repeal of the Union is placed in the hands of the Irish people , from the fact that the whole provisions of that country become on such an occasion one consolidated store for-the maintenance of the peaceful army ; while in England the dependance of the working classes upon the daily caprice of the capitalist to employ them must ever turn the best intended moral display of any duration into a physical outbreak or

      depredatory , war , in which bursars , tlueves , and pickpockets will practise their favourite pursuits , and thuB afford the opportunity of branding Chartism with murder , rapine , and destruction of property . We bat require to ? ee the thing done ; we do not require to ran the chance of losing it , by seeing it too hastily attempted . Mind , when as unanimous as it appears to be in Ireland , is like the load stone , acquiring strength by use . We therefore abstain from asking Mr . O'Connell to name the day , the week , or the month , when it will be safe to divulge the completion of his machinery . He

      is upon the defensive ; and must he much , if not wholly , governed by the acts of others . When the several Spanish Generals who preoeded Es 3 » amebo in command of the Spanish army , bad failed , either through ignorance or the influence of foreign gold , and when the present Regent asFumed the command , he carried on defensive war , and was langhed- at by the English press for bis cowardice and supinenefs , until at length , when the success of his plan of warfare had achieved for him the highest

      dignity that his country could confer , his revilers upon a sudden turned round and became his eulogists , In an undertaking like thepresent , ono false step may cause utter ruin ; and it is therefore we caution Mr . O'Cokmell against allowing the usss which will be made of tbe Arms Bill by the select magistrates and the visiting Orange noblemen , to drive the people of Ireland even into a war of resistance , being well convinced that if possible the Irish people will be compelled to fight whether they like it or not .

      We entirely agree with that part of Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , which we publish in the present number wherein he deprecates any Foreign interference in the settlement ef Irish questions . We have no doubt that this caution proceeded from the announcement of three French ^ entlemeti having accompanied Ma . O'Connell through the County of Clare . We have as little doubt that the ominous fleet now stationed at Cove and in other Irish ports , arists from an apprehension in tho mind of our rulers that France , thirsting for revenge , would seize the opportunity of a civil war in Ireland to land an auxiliary force and arms , which the

      recipients would have no delicacy abous ; egisteriug according to the provisions ot ihe Arm ^ Bill . For ourselves we have ever opposed the mixing up of our great national questions with " Foreign policy ; " and to-morrow , crushed as we are beneath the yoke ot domestic domination , we would , if compelled , with all our rcligiou * hatred of war—exchange the pen for -the broad sword to resist the interference of Foreign mercenaries , come from what nation tbey may , as pretended invadera of thos « clas 3 privileges agaiest which we struggle with all our strength , but whio ' n , bad as tkey are , we wonld not exchange for French sway or Russian despotism .

      We heed bnt littlfl the rabid denunoia ' -ion of Mb . 0 ' Corarei . i . by the Tory press of England . It was as violent in its denunciation of American " trur . or ? , " until the C .-lonial slave became a frea ciuz-ra and that haughty monarch , GxonGc III ., was compelled to receive at Conrt , as Ambassador from Free America , the very man who but a short time before was designated a " traitor .

So will it be with the " traitorO'ConnemJ' Lethim butpresorveDisloyalty to his country by maintaining iris peaceful position to the last , and for every blow struck at the head of an Irishman let him return' a double thrust at the sinews of the enemy ; let ; him hit the invader in the

      Stock Exchange until the supporters of Irish connexion come to learn that ; oven •* Union , " like gold dust , may be purchased at a too dear a rate ; and then perhaps" the traitor"O'Conheu . may be commanded to the presence of her Majesty to receive a commisr sion to open the Irish Parliament as her representative . I And he will then : be lauded by the entire "loyal" press as a consistent , firm , aad persevering patriot !

      To ! cavil just now with every word of Mr . O'Cownbix , or with the bluster of some of his senseless supporters would be an injustice to the people of Ireland , which we trust we are incapable of practising . We have watched the progress of events with intense anxiety ; we have chronicled the most ¦ important features of thpse events ; and we shall still continue , notwithstanding his rejection of our proffered service * and the foolish denunciation of somejof his supporters , to aid , assist , comfort and abet him an all his legal and constitutional struggles for the achievement of his country ' s liberty ; for Ireland , because we love her for her virtues and the wrongs she has endured ; and for England , because : we feel oonvinoed that Ireland free , tho freer dom of Englishmen must follow .

      It must now be understood by all with half brains , that one of three things must happen . There must be a sacrifice . Either . the Minis- - tetB must sacrifice the Union , O'Connell must be sacrificed ; or the Irish priesthood musti be sacrificed ; for let it not be for one moment imagined , that the devotion , even to Mr . O'Connell , by those who have such entire confidence in him , would not be succeeded , in case of a retreat , by reprobation stronger oven than the warmth of that devotion . Terminate how tho struggle may , the people will require a

      satisfactory account from their priests ; and should suspioion take possession of the popular mind , the asseverations of the IriBl ) p ^ -ess , strong as they might be in support of Mr . 0 'Connei . i ., would be lost in the word of the Pastor delivered from the altar ! The Irish , people are less governed , or even influenced , by the newspaper press than any ^ other people in the known world : while each parish bas its own gazette , in whose word the bearers hare more confidence than if an opposite version was published through all the papers in the empire . I Such then is our admonition ; suoh are our fears ;

      such ' our hopes ; and such the probable result that would follow a failure of the movement . We view the hopes and the fears , the strength and tho weakness of Ireland with the deepest interest . At the same time we anticipate a Government onslaught ' upon the friends of freedom in England , should Such a course become politic aud necessary , as an example to the United Irish . , Foreuch a result we trust wo shall be also prepared ; and ever ready , regardless of threatening . danger , to discharge those duties which public approbation has assigned to us with zeal , with caution , with courage , with prudence , and with fidelity .

      MARCH OF IMPUDENCE . Much has been neard of the Shoddy" and DevU's Dust" trade ,-rthe practice of exercising ingenuity and machinery for [ purposes of fraud by manufacturers of woollen cloth , to the scandal and disgrace of our national character , not less as men and traders than as " christians ; " but as yet , except ty the initiated , little bas been seen of it . The nefarious practices of Shoddy Mongers have been carried on as seoretly as possible . Every one

      being of course ! anxious that hia customers should not suppose the " superfine broads " which he was offering them to be made np of a small portion of wool mixed with a large portion of rotten stinking rags , and " mack "—redolent it may be ef disease . Hence the markets for "Shoddy" and 11 Mungo" were known only to " the trade ; " and some precaution was used about the matter . But long impunity and much use begets impudence ; aud these " articles of commerce" are now unblushingly announced for public sale . From the Bradford Observer of Thursday in the present week we take th ' e following advertisement : —

      " Shoddy . —To woollen manufacturers . —To be sold by auction , by Mr . Stamp , by order of the importers , on Friday , June 30 tb , 1843 , at two o ' clock , at his sale rooms , in the Market-place , Hull , ( in lots to suit purchasers ) , - " 200 bales prime fresh white and coloured Shoddy and Mungo , now landing ex the Talitha from Antwerp ; also 250 bales Shoddy , and about 200 bales Mungoi " now warehoused here . " Catalogues may be had , aud the goods seen and examined , four days previous to the sale , and further particulars had . onj application to Messrs . Morehouse , Brown , and Hubberaty , High-street , or to the Auctioneer . J "Hull , 17 th June , 1843 . "

      Here then is the open announcement of the public sale , for purposesjof fraud , of six hundred and fifty bales of rotten , stinking , filthy rags and " muck , " from Holland ; filled , for aught any one can tell , with cholera , typhus fever , plague , &o . ; and at all events intended to convert decent men ' s garments into sponges and riddles under the name of cloth , for tne profit of tbe liberdl religious , cloth-makers of Yorkshire ! 6 We think that , at all events , the public ought to know who these mighty pious men are . These honest "Shoddy" and "Mungo" men should be known by all means . It would be too bad t 0

      let their virtues remain untold . We hope , therefore , that some of our friends will take care to attend this lk Shoddy" and * Mungo" sale on Friday next ; note the buyers ; and send us exactly their " names , weights , and colours , " that we may duly gazette them for pubiic admiration . No such " friends to the modern improved modes of manufacture" shall remain unknown if vre can help it .

Pitkethly to golto the expense of printing , unless he had before him a prospect of re-payment . The lists , wHen ready , should be sent to him ; or the agents might write to say how many copies of the work they would engage to take . Here is Mr . P .

      10 THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —Your note to correspondents intheSfar of last week ! has dra ^» n my attention to the desire which exists ] among your correspondents that tbe Notes of my Tour through a portion of the United States , wb ( lch hava appeared in your co umns , should also be published in a book form . I have also been flattered by many pressing requests verbally , and by letter , made to myself , to the same end . | It must be evident to all who peruse t&ose Notes , that they have been thrown together in great ha ^ te , and under very unfavourable circumstances . In fact , tbey are badly arranged , and abound with tautology . This , | of conrse , in any future publication , could be remedied ; and if 1 should engage in suoh publication , shall be attended to .

      I would recommend in the mean time ., and before any additional troablo is taken , or expense incunvil , tli ;> . t subscription lists be fixsd in all places "Khtire the Star is sold , or such other places as may be considered eligible , where persons m \ ght have an opportunity to place their names for one or uioro copies . By these means it ¦ s » ill speedily be seen whether there are a sufficient number desirous of having the book to cover the expense ] of publication . U so , no time will be lost in puttiag it into hand . The work can be brought out in threepenny or sixpenny numbers ; as this plan might suit puor persons better . An expression of their wishes , on the part of tbe public , will be valuable for tbe guidance of those concerned .

      I am confident that no friend of mine would desire that I should hazird a loss in publishing The "Notes t > f niy Tt-mr , " and " Instructions to Emigrpuits , " aftlcr having already incurred so considerable &n expense , and otherwise made sacrifices to obtain tbe information I possess . The reason for placing ihoso mattexs upon paper will therefore bo obvious . [ I am , dear Sir , yours very faithfully , L . PlTKETBLY . P .

      Friends , —We have the honour to inform yon that we were on the 10 th of June , 1843 , at a Delegate Meeting of the Miners Association , holdenat Newcastle , appointed to perambulate Lancashire for the purpose ot laying before you the objects and purposes of tbe Miners Society , and form branches ia every village , town , or colliery in your county . Tne leading objects of cor society are to dimmish the hours of labour , and to obtain the highest possible amount of wages for the hours we may work .

      We know that it is only by Union that we can accomplish suck a purpose ; therefore we request your cordial co-operation with us : for we know that our interests are so intimately connected , that it is impossible for ona district to be oppressed without the other feeling tbe effects . We know that it is impossible for us to gain our rights and liberties and maintain them , if yon sn not also made participants with us . We wish therefore , to provide work and wageafor every man at his own home , or in his own county ; so that we shall not iiara to wander up and down tbe country like vagabond ! , taking each others employment ; contending one with another as to which can sell bis labour for the least money .

      Several of the most influential mining districts of EngJaad and Scotland are now enlisted under the banner of Union . We trust ( he day is not far distant when the colliers of England will form one link is the grand chain of " Union" which is to extend from John-O'Groats House to the Land's End in Cornwall , and to the most distaat coiner of Wales . Where in the power that could prevent the colliers , from occupying their just position , had wa an union of this sort established ? Brethren , we are entirely strangers to your , district We hope , however , that the readers of the Star , no majtter what their calling , will render as all the assistance they possibly can , in the glorious cause . Onr success will be for tbe interest ef the pubiic at large .

      We propose to commence our labours at OldhtM about the twenty-seventh of the present month . An ; place desirous of our services will greatly oblige usbj writing a note stating the same , or any other information addressed to us , to the care of the agents of tbs Star , at Oldham or Wigan ; and we pledge ourseiws that they shall be duly attended to . II any lover of freedom will he so kind as to call a public meeting of tbe colliers at Oldham , on Monday tbe 3 rd of July , either in the Chartist Hall , cr in anj other public pJacs most convenient , and certify the same in the next number of the Star , they will render a great service to the cause of Buffering humanity , and greatly serve the society we have the honour to represent .

      No w is the time , or never , for the colliers 1 See Lord Ho wick ' s speech in the House of Commons on tbe repeal of the coal duty . We are now beginning to be . noticed in the Parliament House ! He wishes to let Government loose upon us ; but we bid defiance t « both him and Government ; for " Union and Pea « e " is our motto , and "Law and Order" our watckword . Brethren , arise ! look after your own right * Tho cruel task-masters feel that we neve adopted tne right plan for abridging their unholy power ; and they » M trying all the means that evil ingenuity can invent to get you within the meshes of the law , by plunging yon into a premature strike ! but laugh to ; scorn those who wish this to delude you ! ! where

      Look before you leap / Calcnlata well yon are ¦ ; what it is you are urged to do ; and take stock-of ihe means you are possessed of , to do il ! Be wary ! Be prudent ! Organise yourselves . Gat into a position that you' can know what tha men of the North are about ; and they know what yon are about ; . be « that you can understand the feelings of year bretnreo all ovtr the kingdom , before you even give tbe idea or a strike a resting-place ia your mind . Better to " bear the ills we have" a short time longer , and organlw ourselYds for their complete eradication , than ensvr * failure by premature action . Caution and prudence a essential to our cause ! Daar Brethren , —Our sincere prayer is that onz mission may be a blessing to you and to generations yet unknown . Dear brethren ,

      THE DUTY OF CHARTISTS TN REFERENCE TO THE REPEAL AGITATION . We are crammod out with letters upon this subject , ; from all quarters ; mostly seeking information and advice . Somoof the writers require to know what course we think the Chartists generally should take ; while others—and of theBe are the greater numberwish for oar opinion as to their joining " the Repeal ranks , " and hazarding the insult of rejection : ; and all ask us to state fully our opinion of this policy of the Repeal Club and its tendency .

      Now ; , to tho first matter of inquiry we have a ready answer ; aud we cannot better word it than by citing the resolution of our Newcastle friends . We " are , with them , decidedly " of opinion that the Union of Ireland with Great Britain is inimical to the best interests of that country ; and as it was fraudulently accomplished contrary te the expressed wishes of the great majority of the Irish people , we do most heartily concur with that ill-used nation in their demand of an immediate Repeal ; and pledge ourselves to uso every constitutional means in our power to assist them in procuring , not only a '

      domestic parliament , * but a parliament that will be a complete reflex of tho whole people , as tha only sure guarantee that the people will not again bo sold contrary to the inclination of tho majority . " This we hold certainly to be tbe only thing that can make Repeal valuable to the Irish people , or secure " Ireland for the Irish . " We are perfectly aware that O'Connell and the present Repeal Loaders do not now recognize , either practically or theoretically , the great principles of liberty included in the People ' s Charter . We stop not now to argue or cavil about this ; we hold him to be no friend to

      Ireland who would do so . It may be absolutely necessary for Mr . O'Connell aud the Repeal leaders , to take precisely the course they are now taking ; it is evident that they think it is so ; and j if it be , that may probably be their reason for refusing to amalgamate the Repeal and the Chartist mover men ts ; at all events that must be a sufficient reason for ; Chartists not " joining the repeal ranks . " We have never thought it good policy in them to do so ; and certainly cannot recommend it now-Wo were not sorry for the " rap on the knuckles " that O'Connor got , as we hope it may teach him to

      be Jess ardent and more calculating . Chartism , of itself involves Repeal ; because Repeal is in justice due , to England as well as Ireland i but Repeal does not , of necessity , involve Chartism . We cannot , therefore , give up the more comprehensive for the less comprehensive assertion of the principle of right : we cannot leave the greater io take up the less . The most effectual aid that we can give the Repeal movement , is to press forward our own agitation contemporaneously . Lut no man suppose that wo advise the merging of the Charier in Repeal . In the Charter we see that which must of its own nature involve Repeal , and every other measure of full justice for the people : in Repeal we see that whioh

      may , or may not , in the first instance , bring justice to the people , though we cannot doubt that the improved moral and intellectual people of Ireland would mako it do , so ultimately . We tay , then , in referencewto " joining the Repeal Ranks , " do no such thing . Go on with your own movement ; strengthen your own position ; make all fair and consiturional advanoes to the Charter , and in ihe meantime give all aid to your Irish brethren in their straggle for the minor measure ; aud let not their efforts for the lesser good , shame yours for the greater . Let the patriotic strife be one of amity and love ; so shall we aid each other . Give us the Charter , and we give Repeal to Ireland ; while if Ireland obtain Repeal before us , her gallant sons will bring their new-born strength to aid us in the

      common cause . These being our views , our friends will see that we regard with maoh indifference the matter which has so hoart-burtied some of them , the rpjeotif > n of our aid by Q'Connell and the Repeal club . The simple question is , whether they wish the thing they seek . Time only can determine this . If they do , there may ba reasons which we cannot see to justify thera in ; their course ; if they do not , we shall have a terrible rev * nge , without our stirring in tho matter , taken for us by the Irish people , tvhea the cheat shall ba discovered .
