      " ffe mSfe Feargna O'Connor a present to the gjiriish Radicals . "—Daxid O'CoTtneU . Ht Fbietds , —Presuming that you hare read my j ^ er letter I sow make my appeal to yoD , as men yto cheerfully accepted , the present so generously pfered . There is no greater error than for & man-to suppose himself aboTe suspicion . In fact , the moment » man ( 20 matter howsoever virtuous he aiay be ) is aroused , shat moment he oeases to b « above

      snspiciou . Ifif «* k > the maxim affords to many knaves ja easy method of escaping explanation of their conduct , while they proclaim themselves above suspicion- I leave n » thrng unexplained . It has been supposed in England , that I was , at one time , one of Mr . O'Conneil ' s political prostitutes . Nay more ; iir . Gleany , the cxdesiakeb of the London £ > ispci £ h "which ^ P ^« based on its death-bed , ^ isAd it in its last moments as an infection ¦ xiib . which ^ sought to inocculate me . I don ' t know hh reason , bat he charged me with having

      ¦ partai-a of Mr . OConneu 5 hospitality , and afterwards betrayed his confidence . My accuser , I may observe , ui passing , has , by his subsequent virtuou waducE , prored that he came into court with clean ha 30 = ; £ > ^ * mistake not , he h a * amply repaid very gjjeasve confidence reposed in himas a trustee . HoweTer , I £ aTe l 0 ^ ? ** " ** * neTer spoke one word to jlr . O'Coacell , or sat in his company , till October , 1832 , at which time he doubted the possibility of my being returned for the county of Cork ; and that he took no part whatever in the election of 1832 , tnd tha ; his friends opposed ma in 1835 .

      Lei me now trace cur correspondence from February , 1833 , the time when I entered the Houseof Cemnoss , and let us see . in what the haajfttality consisted . From February , 1833 , till this moment Inerer breakfasted , diced , supped , or slept ? " ^' sat at the fire , in Mr . O'Connell ' s house , or lodgings . I never entered it but upon three occasions ; once to litead a meeting of Irish ilembers , when I objected to m * et at his house any more . That was in Tebruary , 1833 . Again , in 1334 , when he sent his own son , John , to request I would meet him and Mr . Ja-cob , to discuss the question of the Dungarvan election , and when , at his request , I went , a ; ay own expence , as Jacob ' s Counsel , and returned aim . Asjais , when I went to consult about Raphael ' s going to Carlow , to which I objected , and refused one hundred guineas , and my expences , from Mr-O'Conneil , to go as Raphael's Counsel ; a : the same tise oSsiing to £ <> for a good mm , as my own expence , and without fee . I never sought Mr . O'Connell ' s confidence .

      I think this disposes of the qnestion of hospitality asd confidence ; andnowa word as to being one of his taiL Idirideithe Irish Member ; against him fiva times , sad beat aim erery time upon ; ae question of Repeal and Tithes . I carried an amendment against his humbug instalment tube resolutions , and had jay ameaduienc , instead of his resolutions , taken by the deputation of thirteen Irish Members to Lord Althorpe and Mr . Littleton , as our

      resolution with respect to tithes . He was tor an instalment of ' 2 s . 6 d . in the pound—I was for total abolition . I forced him to bring on the Repeal question—I opposed him upon the Tithe question—I opposed hiai upon the Ballot—I opposed him upon the repeal of the Corn Laws—I opposed him upon the mitigm& Coercion Bill—2 opposed hiai upon the Khsme of suiting the Lords to tha knuckles of the Whig Commons , and he opposed ma upoj the question uf Irish Poor Laws .

      >" ow , I t ^ ink that a more unfortunate sympathy could not well exist , beiween body and tail , than this fame statement shows . I must have been right in my oDDosition to him upon Irish questions , and for this reason : we generally dirided 29 ; he always moved one of my sapport ^ rs to the chair , and generally dispatched another , just as we were going to divide , upon Si > zne bsportvu mission ; and yet I always beat him ; wLU £ in the opposition were to be found tiie following sons and relations of Mr . O'ConneiL together with himself : . Daniel O'Connell j Maurice O'Connell , Morgan O'Connell , John O'Connell , 90 ns of Mr . O"Connell ; Caarles G'Connell and Mr . Fiaamon , sons in law to Mr . O'Connell ; now take

      a chairman and an ambassador from my party , and add » he withering influence of his election power to his party , and was ever triumph so great , and was * ever z more extraordinary joint of a tail ? Having thus explained so much—1 st me now ask the millions ¦ who haT 3 heard me speak , if a word of any thing , tare lore , regard , and devotion to Ireland , eTer escaped my lips ! Have I not told the English and Scotch , that if I could ayoid it , they never should have justice till Ireland had it at one and the lame cm ; 1 Bat why thus defend ice English and Scotch , or eulogise myself ? They would have kieked ms off : he hustings' , and deservedly , if I had afcused Ireland .

      I mention ihis } because I have been held np by the venal , corrap :, and prostituted press of Ireland , and by their master , as an enemy 10 my country . "Without entering into details , let me now ask , if any man ia the kingdom evtr had equal power in the House of Commons to thit which Mr . O'Connell has had since his union with the Whigs ! and , let me ask , where is the volaa of that power to be found ? Has he done one single par . k-le of benefit to society ? Caa you , with bo much power , place your finger upon a redeeming clause , and iiy thi 3 is an O'Gonnell Act ? I defy vou ; it is not on the statute-book .

      Look to the pledges required now from Liberal eradicates in Ireland , and compare them with those required in 1832 . Now , all tLit is required is to keep vha Tories out ; wiiiie , at the former period , they were " Repeal of the Union" " Total Abolition 0 / Tithes , " " Universal Suffrage , " and Ctieap Law . " Lord Duneannon was turned oat of Kilkenny County for lack of liberality , sad i % now one of the favoured Administration . Sir Heary Parnell was tuned out of Queen ' s Ccrantyby an honest farmer , and is ujw also one of tkelot . Leader wa 3 turned out of Kilkenny Cny .

      Jephson oat of Mailorv . The Hon . Robsn King out of the County of Cork . Mr . " Wyse out of Waterfwd ; and several others were like wise rejected , not bang tt up to the mark . " Whiie now , the rerj saas men , with the exception of Leader who is dead , and King , who ia the Earl of Kingston , are in the House , and are obliged to abate some of iheir former fire to reduce themselves to the present Whig temperature ; and we have got an importation of Hume , Giabourne , Ashton Yates , and others rejected by England , and we had a narrow escape from the Jew .

      England is bankrupt , and filled with rural spies . Ireland is a police garrison ; while tha majorities , which fattened these things on us , and brought us to this pass , varied from one to thirty , Mr . O'Connell commanded a compact body of some fifty members er more . I have now staged the whole case fairly andsimp 3 y , and now you may require to know what power lever hoped to oppose to a House of Commons so constituted , a people so duped , and a demagogue so pronigiie . I will tell you . I have often told you feat lacking the means of showing my work in disjointed parts , I could get no instalment of ttedit , until I received the whole debt npon

      pre-Watinjg my work finished—that is Universal Suffrage . Bat have I , or have I not , made the materials for completing it beyond man ' s power of opposition 1 You ask how ! I have made a party of the whole People ! I have told you that the existence of three Political parties in a state w& 9 incompatible with the existence of good government , and that we « hs > uld first beat the party in power ; which party , out of pow ^ r , would be most serviceable to us . I iave told you that there are only two methods , of gaining Universal Suffrage ; either by a vote of the House of Commons , or by fores of arms . I have told you that the latter traa hopeless—the former easy . How ! Thns t—Let the Torie 3 oaca con-

      stitute a majority ia the House . oErCommooB , -which they are sure to do upon th& x ^ xt election , and then the imitation for Reform was but child ' s play to ^ the scramble of th » hungry Whig devils for restoration to the l&rder wherein they have so long fed , and of which they have become so enamoured . My duty was to prepare you for the auction . That was all I promised . That I have done : and let me see who shall dare to knock you down under Universal Suffrage I Believe me that 250 Whigs , constituting a portion of 400 Whi £ 3 in office , though now very constitutional , will be very devils when ou the wrong side of Downing-street .

      I'll tell you a story . In the county of Wexford , in / the barcny of Forth , there is a colony of Palatines ( Germans ) . AmoDgst them was one Jerome , a devil to eat : but Jerome went swimmJDg one day ; got the cramp , and was drowned . The alarm being sounded , the neighbours ran to the rescue , and brought Jerome to shore , but lifeless . The most knowing tried rubbing , rolling , thumping , shouting , and bawling , as restoratives , and were thus treating poor Jerome when his disoonsolato wife happened to arrive , whereupon she instantly whipped a lamp of black pease-bread from her pocket , and in broken English cried out , " Hear , Tuar , puth

      the breath ( bread ) to him ; uf he hov lolfe in kvs loddee , he ' il snatch at the braith . " Now , so I ? ay , of the Whigs— " ( hear , hear ) , —put the Treasury 10 ' em , and if they have life in their body , they will snatch at the Treasury . " Don't you be afraid , or suppose , that even John Campbell , out of office , and huDgry , will remember Frost , O'Connor , or O'Brieni Not he ; he'll swear ths Tories made him prosecute , and will go down on his knees to you . Surely Dan is already preparing for this lino of defence ; for he ? ays , that if the Convention had been illegal the Tories would have forced ihe Attorney-General to prosecute . Poor innocents , " they required so much constraint ! Believe me , that

      A Whig , & spaniel , and a walnut tree , — The more you beat them the better tb * yll be . Let the Tories , then , with the Reform Bill , beat the Whig 3 , and no earthly power can prevent a Whig constitutional revolution—an Irish physical Forc « , royal , loyal , national , moral moveand then step Universal Suffrage who can Believe me , that two hundred Whig 3 turned Radicals , with teeth watering on quarter-day , would just ask the road to cfibe ; and when told , "by Charter-Hou 3 e-square , " they would not hesitate an instant .

      Now , my friends , you know all ; you know what I have done , and what Mr . O'Connell has done ; you know how your peaceable nrssionary was treated by his order ; you know that he promised me a swim in the Lifiey , if 1 went to D lblin ; you know that twice , when he invaded your last remaining right of protection , your wages , I challenged him to meet me in London , Dublin , Glasgow , Manchester , and Leeds , and to pay all his expences ; you know he declined ; you know he has let the ball-tfogs of the law at me , and , having seized mehaving insulted me , and placed me in a dungeon , ia solitary confinement , —he now , coward-like , embraces the moment of my absence , to triumph over his fettered Toe .

      Answer me this . Would he dare to shew his nose in Leeds , if I was there to meet him ]

      > 0 , no—a million times no . ' And shall he go back to his slaves , and , jeeringly , add cowardice and treason to the other fiffil names which he has called the English people , ! Shall he amuse his prostitute crew with the j . 'lad tidings that u he came , —he sate—he conquered ? " Where ia the free-born Englishman who could rest in his bed in quiet , and reflect that his absence had contributed to his friend's defeat , and his enemies' triumph ? Was ever cowardice more perfect , wa 3 ever insult more gross , was ever -villany 50 complete t ' . ' . I Good God ! you accepted me as a present ! Have I ever

      deceived you ! And will you allow the tyrant thus to trinmpb over me 1 No ; you will not ; you could no : i Where is the slave whose voice will be purchased on that night to cheer treason ! Can he retura to the wife of his bosom , to the insulted mother of hi 3 child ; and can he , with the dignity of an Englishman , a husband , and a father , look upon the pallid cheek and tvrist *! limb of his offspring , while he reflects that his tongue has sung praises to the destroyer ? No ; it is not in nature . Every man who has accepted a free ticket to the slaughter house , where English debasement is intended to be

      exhibited , will throw the memento of his weakness in the face of his betrayer , and join the holy brotherhood of freemen in the causa of liberty . Let every wife , whose husband shall sell himself for a sixpenny ticket , look npon him as her keeper , and upon herself &s h \ a prostitute . Men of Huddersfield , Halifax , Bradford , and Dewcburymen of tha villages—^ yoa owe me & day . ' I have given you many a one . I am in the felon ' s cell on your behalf ; my spirit will meet you on the 21 st at Leeds ; will you come and join it in the triumph of virtue over vice , or will you aliow my enemy to triumph over you and me ? Need I say more ? This is my prayer : —Let Manchester , and every town in Lancashire and Yorkshire , meet instantly , and

      send deputations , and all the flags they can muster ; let them select as many as they can , and let each send Eome money towards the funds—for we must not only meet the enemy under the canopy of the broad blue sky , but also in tbo slaughter-house . Do this , and I am still your debtor . I forgive all money due , and begin a new score . I will keep the ironbaTred window of my stone cell open upon Thursday , to admit each passing breeza , which will waft your voices , singing in choru 3 , " We will be free !" Let no man be drunk—let no man riot ; if any should , let him instantly be restrained . Remember , the- 21 st is a life or death struggle ; if we are beat upon that day , the Chinese jugglers are in for another session , and our chance of success is by so far retarded .

      Englishmen , your pnde , your virtue , your honour , and integrity , not any form of Government under which you have ever lived , has procured for you the \ admiration of surrounding nations . Every thing that malice could suggest , ingenuity invent , or despotkm impo 3 e , haa been tried to weaken your title to additional valour and characteristic worth . Bat if the tyrant has proved but too successful in robbing you by statute law , yet , praised be God , common nature lives in your warm hearts , and fairplay has ever been a characteristic of your nation .

      Englishmen , I know , that as an Irishman , I have no claim upon your respect , being so often oppressed and deceived by those of my countrymen professing patriotism , while they have laid low your liberties , and trampled upon your rights . But what have I to do . with a Castlereagh , or an O'Connell ? If they were your enemies , the enemies of your country , they have been equally my enemies , and the enemies of my country . ' I have not deceived you . I have made

      you four pledges—here they are : —that I never would accept of place , pension , or emolument , under any Government , save one selected by Universal Suffrage ; that I never would travel a milfl at your expence , or accept a farthing for any poor service which I may be able to render to your cause ; that I never would betray or desert you ; and that I would carry Universal Suffrage , or lose my life in the attempt .

      Ia conclusion , if you love ' toe , respect me , and confi < feffime , yon will prove it by your presence on Thursday . You profess sympathy for me , while you can snap my chains and claim my freedom . Yes gain for me and yourselves the first victory , and however tyrants may forge the fetters , and ooerco the body , you give freedom to the mind , which is the body's spirit . I smile at tyranny while joa are conquering . 1 have made appeals neither to you , or any other parts , for any mitigation of the brute force by which I am consigned to solitary conSnemeut . You hear from me none of my annoyances . No ; I forget all in reflection on our common cause , and in devising means for the prostration of the common enemy .

      Englishmen ! has any man—the poorest man in England , Ireland , Scotland , or Wales , been oppressed , from whom I have withheld my aid t Have I not travelled night and day to relieve the captive ) thousands of miles in the depth of winter ! while in return , I ask of you but one , one , ONE , only ONE day , devoted to your own cause and my defence . Shall my oppressor triumph over hia vio-Eim—your unpaid , untiring , unpurobasable , nnilinoht ing friend , in a felon ' s dungeon , while you lo « upon the treason , and cheer the traitor in Wb attempt 1

      No , no—a million timea NO ! I live and reign in the hearts of millions , who pant for an opportunity to prove their Jove ; and who will embrace that which is now presented , to convince me of their approbation of my honest eudeavours to serve the cause of universal freedom . I am , My friends and brothers , The tyrants' captive , The oppressors' dread , The poor man's friend , And the people ' s accepted present , FEARGUS O'COXXOR .

The Lecturer urgod upon his audience the question of total abstinence , as a powerful levor in gaining their liberties ; ou forming day schools for training their own offspring ; on adapting their own forms of faith ; getting their own places of worship ; their debating societies ; a growing interest in each other ' s welfare ; and , by a steady devotion to the cause of democracy , they would bo triumphant .

A report of the progress , made during t / it pa * t year , was read , ami , according to that report , iliree lectures had been delivered by the Rev . Mr .

" This was receired by shoutg , clapping of hands , and waving of handkerchiefs ; but , on the platform , amungbt the pulpit orators , it had a different etf-ct . This resolution tore from their laces the mask of hypocrisy and cheat ; it unbuckled and pulled off the sheepskin , aid the wolves were seen in their natural state ; growl answered , to grow ) , and when the working man attempted to address the meeting on the resolution which he had offured , the parsons set up a general howl , and Sir Culling Eardley Smith refused to put the resolution .

The hall was decorated with portraits of F . O'Connor , Collins , M'Douall , Oastler , Hunt , and Beaumont .

The meeting waa pretty well attended , there being about two thoubaud persons present . Mr . Daniels was called to the chair . Mr . Morgan moved the first resolution , to the effect , "Vuat the meeting was of opinion , that those noblo patriots , Frost , Williams , and Jones , wero illegally banished , and should be returned 60 their homes . '' Mr . M . dwelt at some length upon the objoot of tho Chartists , the great objects the exiled patriots sought to effect , the excessive tyranny that produced the fatal consequences by

      which these virtuous men , and their co-patriots , fell and bled . He severely lashed the local press , which had called them Socialists , because they had called their meeting in the Hall of Science : i > y the same tule ( said he ) , if we had been favoured on this occasion with the use of the Guild Hall , we should be Tories ; and , if we met in a stable , we mutt be liorpe- ! . He vra 3 much cheered throughout . Mr . Momlubert brittty seconded tho resolution . A delegate from Wottea-under-edgo , in a ^ erygood Bpeech , sppponcd it , and was much cheered . The Chairmau put the resolution , which was carried unaniinousjy . He next calied on Mr . Simeon , who , in a lengthy speech , proposed the address to her Maje&cy , that was published in the Star , by the

      Birmingham Frost Restoration Committee . Mr . Quarmau seconded the addrcs ? , which was put aud carried unanimously . Henry Hunt Frost here came forward , and in a sweet , though subdued tone , evidently much affected by inward feelings , read a latter from hi ^ father , dated Port Arthur , Vau Diemen's Laud , in which be states they are all iu offices—that he is a clerk , but still a prisoner , and cannot correspond freely . At the conclusion , he thanked them ior the interest thoy took in his father ' s behalf , aud prayed exouso from addressing them , as he was unused to public speaking . Mr . Clark was next called upon , who , in a speech of much warmth , proposed the third resolution" That tho address be signed by tho chairman on

      behalf of the meeting , ahd sent to the Birmingham Committee , for presentation . " Mr . Newman seconded the resolution ; the chairman put it to the meeting , and ic was carried unanimously . Mr . Simeon then rose , and proposed— " That the thanks of this meeting are due , and axe hereby given , to Mr . Hill , and Mr . Joshua Hobson , for the able and patriotio manner in whioh they have conducted the Star during the incarceration of the proprietor , the unflinching friend of the working class , Feargus O'Connor . " Mr . Simkins , social lecturer , seconded the resolution . In . the course of his address , he observed that-the Chartists had been called

      Socialists for taking the Hall , and he should be called a Chartist for speaking there ; however , he was the advocate of justice for all , and he would support the friends of the people . This being tho close of the business , a Mr . Johnson , an Irish Repealer , expressed a wish to address the meeting ; he was accordingly introduced to the meeting , and , in a somewhat flowery speeoh , proceeded to laud the Charter , but disapproved of the declaration of some of the speakers not to agitate for any other object but the Charter . He thought , if they could get the Ballot first , they would get the Charter soon after , fhe fallacy of this doctrine was ably exposed by several speakers . The meeting closed with three

The ball commenced about ten ; dancing was continued till morning , when

      the company separated , highly gratified with the evening ' s entertainment , several of whom declared it the cheapest and most numerous and respectablyattended entertainment , they had ever been present at . The hull was decorated with evergreens , banners , rosettes , and several portraits of O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jonea , and the Convention , in good frames ; the whole gave to the hall a very lively , impressive , and truly Chartist effect . At the conclusion , the usual Chartist finale of cheers was given by the whole of the company . Thus , they closer ! the first Cliartiat amusement , with our English Vive la Liberty , Vive la Charter , Vive la Patriots .

      DERBY . —Mr . Mason , tho Midland Counties' lecturer , visited this place on Monday , the Ilia instant , and delivered a lecture , which will long be remembered by his hearer ? . Such an exposure of chicanery and fraud , practised by tbo governments ol all natious , when combined to oppress the virtuous and truly useful classes in society , namely , the workers , ha 3 not , we believe , been delivered iu Dcsby , in the memory of tho oldest inhabitants , lie shewed lhat there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . The factory child , hs observedmay be torn limb from limb , through the penurious disposition of tho cotton Iord 3 , in not boxing up the

      machinery ; and the verdicts in such ca 3 us , were almost uuiver .-ally " Accidental Death . " On the other hand , tho rich frequently rido in carriages propelled by steam-power . Their own lives and limbs w ; : ro at stake in this undertaking ; the consequence was , that if an accident occurred , no more serious in effect , than tho ca = o of the factory child , a deot . ' , to the tune of some thousands of pounds , would be passed upon the engine , the tender , the carriage , or some other lumber accompaniylng the a flair . Why a deodand skould not bo awarded on the cotton lords' machinery , in case of death , as well as the engine , &c , he has left old Mother Goose , or borne other wiaacre , to explain . ¦

      Robespierre . —We have been taught to look upon this individual a 3 the vilest of the vile ; but Mr . M . showed that his principles wero sound Charti-t principles , and that those who blackened his character , did so when he had not the power to defend himself . The aristocrats aud ehopocrats of this country , would like to murder the good name , aye , and the body too , of our patriotic leader , Foargus O'Connor ; but , although they may kill his body , his name shall live unsullied ; when theirs shall be sunk into oblivion , never to be named more , except with imprecations on their villany and curses on their malignity . Mr . Mason . —Mr . Mason , the Midland Counties ' lecturer , has visited tho followiug places within these two weeks , and they are all progressing rapidly iu or < auization : —Mansfield , Ba 6 ford , Leicester , Loughborough , Mountsorrel , Hathern , and Derby .

      ( From the Friday s Papers . } The Times gives extracts of private letters from Monte Vidio , which shew that every thing is ther » unsettled , and that life and property are held oa fickle temira . The letters are dated Ootober 18 thJ We select the following : — " The ste ? . mer has brought down 220 passengers , chiefly French subjects , and this does not look hka a probability of an amicable settlement being tt&eted . I am now inclined to thi : k uo arra .. ^ .-raent will be made without an appeal to arms . An old French resident , a man of sevouty y ; an of age , M . Varengot , was assassinated , _ and hi * house and property plundered , on the night of tha 13 th current , nudtr circumstances of peculiar bar

      barity , and this event of itself will throw an additional obstruction 10 an easy adjustment of the differences .

      refused to surrender . Lavalle is known to be a raosi humane and kindly-disposed man , and I am confident it would be only cases of extremi and urgent necessity that would make him resort to such severe measures ; though , after tho atrociou * scenes enacted' iu Buonoa Ayree , it is net to be wondered at | however much to be deplored , if exemplary ' -l-Haliatious be adopted by the opposite party . On S-. uday morning , a human heaU wai discovered to be fixed to the top of the triuinohal pyramid , which stands in tho centre of the . Plaza Victoria , in Buenos Ayres , and heads are carried through tho streets , fixed on the points of lance * .
