      My Jjf&b . akd 05 LT IsiEh"DS , — various attempts have been made by the MaltJmoian " Starve Beggar" fUc $ , for the last £ tx years , to destroy me first , and then to destroy you , and your every hope of justice ; but I have met them , on the threshold and beaten thsm , under every disguise ifcsy hare assumed . And bow that they iave angraenled their forces by a junction with all trie scattered fragments

      of Whi > 'gery , some maadliug old women , cry out M 0 sham ¦ , why denounce the new-fisdged patriots I Whj not lie down and let thsai strengthen themselves for . - your distraction ? Ba sure they are fcontst , -well-intentioned , and sincere . " Have I not tr&ce-i them through their every coil , and unfolded the snakes to public view ? Hare I not told you that they were moved by Joseph Hume and his associates ? and now , in confirmation , allow me to lay before jou an extract from a letter which I have fast received from Montrose . It as follows : —

      " Sir , —I feave seen a small notice from Jlr . Harrison , s ; iticg part of "what he had heard from Mr , Loveit . " Start not , Sir . I will go farther than Lovett . Yesierdav week , after Joseph Hume was returned for taese Burghs , I , as one of & deputation , waittd npoa him , to n qusst of him w take charge of our pstition-ibsets with 1 , 854 signatures , which I hope by tbfs time the Convention have received . He kindly recdrei : us , and promised to support the six points , and tf ; I 1 entfr more into detail afterwards . He then b--2 "an slap * — tl "We trant to get a paper to supersede the Star ; to get rid of Feargus O'Connor , and all liis hot-headed followers . There

      are Lovetr , Vincent , Hetherington , and Collins , and a good many more , who aTe doing all they can to bring about that so mnch-needed object . " Now my hot-headed followers , I &sk you whether or not this extract brings the charge of treachery and conspiracy home against iha xnteV . ec ' . ual Chartisls ? And this is from Hume , that Mahhusian s : arve-be ^ j » r political economist free-trader !—osc of the camp followers of "Whi ^ gery , who supported the fiction unul ha had pensioned his friends asd relations upon the pariags from the paupers' platter .

      These are the very fellows who have been the authors of all your misery , and who are morally , aye and legally , suilsy of every act of desperation to which the plusier of the faction shall drive a starving and an outraged people . They pnt down the Siar ! Poor devils 1 iliey shall pnt down my last shirt first . They gej rid of Fe&rgns O'Connor ! The wretches ; I wiU beat them all u > their hearts conteDt . I laugh at th :-ir pigmy force and womanish threat ; . Theirs is a war of waters , raised Egaii ^ t the head and front of democratic omnipotence , —boj against Feargns O ' Connor ; but having laid mo low , they would iken pull down the pillar which I have done one n ? au s share in erecting . They whine andsimper ,

      and crj on ? , " 0 , don't denounce 1 Gocglack , kind folks ; uc , you shall have your pleasure . I will bow to your mi ^ liry will and plea 3 ura , baili shall be when I loss the digaiiy of self-rcsp - ct . They are no ; the first smsgiiers who have o- ; ea wrecked a ^ si nst lb . 3 t rock of principle—the Korlhem Siar . Tney doa ' t waai a national mirror ; tb * y desire a looMng-glas ? , in which they may see reflected monkeys of their own dressing—patriots of their own idi' ^ iiisnon—toys gilded with rich Eicn ' ss gold . They vrfll milk Siorge , and Sben send him to grass They could not have hit upon a better mil en cow for their purpose , because they profess to have- tie same orject in view—namely , to make bread cheap for people who have no money to buy it with !

      Bat be assured that , from whatever quarter they may draw their aid , suecotir , and rapport , they shaO era find in me and my " hot-headed followers " ap 2 Tty who will surrender their principles , or alter their name , only with their lives . Bus this is "de mouncisg . " 0 . kind friends , gentle followers , pray lie down in quiet , and allow our Intellectual saviours to cure us by killing U 3 ! Ever your fond and devoted friend , PSAEGUS ( yCoSXOB . A Chartist , and no snrrender

      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . Mt beloved Tbxesvs , —It gives me the most heartfelt pleasure io inform you that year Convention has now sat in deliberation for nearly three weeks ; and that during that period not one single £ ct of disunion or contention has arisen ; bnt that tbe most perfect , cordial , and delightful nnanimiiy has characterised their every movement . We are going on cordially and gloriously . ' Use the last moment , the very last moment then , in sending up yonr sheets for the Supplementary Petition .

"Wa have bsen this morning engaged in discussing and lamenting over the heait-rending annunciations ofilavery , starvation , and da = i : rnt 5 Mi to which the cespotifm of employers and class legislation has reduced yen .

      T . TERTKYR TTtJVIt— At a large meeting of the members of tbe National Cnar ^ er Assuciaiion , hold on . Monday « v * ning list , a " , their large room at Caedraw , the following reso l utions were agreed to unanimously : —1 st . " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the conduct of Mr . J . B . 0 ' 8 rien has been highly improper , in jsining and praising the Sturge Conference which sat a ; Birmingham , and then on being reported to have done so , turning round and abusing the Editor of the Northern Sia ~ , which attack was , ia the opinion of this meeting , entirely unwarranted and uacailed for . " 2 nd . "Tiiat it is the , opinion of this meeting thai it waa a scheme of Messrs . O'Brien , Vincent , Lovett , Coilin * , and Co . to thwart the orj-.-ci and ihe progress of the

      CharHst ' movement , at tne time of tne meeting ot ihe J * auos . ai Convention , and the prcsoutatioa ot ' t ^ e National . Peiition , aa they were faUy aware of the proposed time of its prefeutation to Parliament . " 3 rd . " Iliai it is tbe opinion of this meeting th ^ t no conscience ought to be placed in s .: iy of those who deviate from a particle of the Charrer , even the name . " 4 ch . " That this meeting is of opinion that the National Convention now sitting in London are deserving of our best thanks acd coauvJen . " - ^ ; auu toa : our best thanks uro hereby given to that body for their "perifeverinjE ; efforts io be heard ou bia ^ U" uf the industrious mil ions of this nation , and that they are worthy of the sapport of every l , ; ver of liberty throughout this realm . "

      NEWPORT . —A correspondent writes us , that tLe causs prospers here ; they have lately had soiru splendid ieciure 3 mun Mr . Owen Glycdwr , and they are purporting to hold a grand QciijOjj > tra ; ion on Whit-Monday . aasRSSSK . —The signs ofths times are indeed porroatoas . Th ^ rapid spr-ja J of dumocrauc priucipjes is indeed a . mazin < j . Radicalism is i ^ ow , no : ouly the _ adopted creed of the opprcrsed uaillr ' oas of Great Britain and Ireland , out the aristocratic scions in our Universities are being tainted wiih th ^ same doctrine , and have be ^ mi to shew their admiration of our principles by endeavouring to honour the advocates—ana yerhap 3 the eood readers of the Slur wi'l inquire in what manner ? The foiloTfirg will show .

      A number oi ' students at Kind ' s Colkge , OJd Ab-r ceen , baviag imbibed < he principles of the Chavr-rr . they n solved to test their fellow-siud ts' disposition towards tbe caus ^ of liberty , by bringing forward a eradicate at the late elect on of a Craucsllor of tho Univer ^ i ' . y . Ttere were three parncs in tr . o fi-i-. < , and as a matter of" course each par . y nouiin-it d a candidate . The candidarcs Trerc tie Duke ci Wellington , brought forward by the Tories , L-jrd _ Br-UL'ham , by ihe LiberJ .-, and , vruuld you biii-ve it , th-i t ; ird , candidate was that chavnpiou of iibtriy —tha ; foe to oppress-. ou—that man of the people ' s choice . Feargus O'Connor . E ? q ., Barnsur at Law . Mr . O'Comi > r ' s supporters VYi-rsassiduoii ^ iy enta' ^ d in c ^ uvorsma for their man , as were aV : > ths otiier

      t ^ 7 o patties ; aad after having done their utmost 'he respective numbers of supporters for iach candidate were a 3 follows : —Wellington , 63 ; Broufiham , 57 , ar . a O'Connor 36 . The Liberals and Ultras consulted as to the best coursa to be adopted ; if they polled the Duke ' s party were in the ascendency , and would beat them , so they resolved to coalesce . The Broucbamites and O ' Coimorites , accorciugiy united , and BrcBKoatn -was chosen , as he had tfce % Trati-T number of snpporiers on tae Lib .-ril side . We do not consider this as a defeat . It jaust ba looked npon as a great triumph to the cau ? e of liberty . Had 0 Connor been el .-cted he would have been entitled by au Act of Queen Ann * to a British peerage . - Tne Professors of the University must

      indeed be . aswniibed to find democracy has laken up its abode wiihin those walls where r . o : hiug i ^ taught but the most self-debasing docsrines . But this shews thanbe love of libsriy is inhereut iamaa —thax it is confined to no particui&r class in society ; and though prejudice nay warp ii 3 elf around ibe rea on of some—thongh it »^ rance may retarJ the triumph of the cause cf jo-tice and humanitythough passive obediencs Cj inculcated as a virtue iuto the minds of our youth , stili tha love of liberty i 3 predominant ; the very enunciaiion of the worj awakens feelings ami emotions within the youthful bosom indescribable , and when he contemplates the happiness which wonld be the lot of man w .- ; re he free , ha lo& 3 forward % vith blissful expectauoa 10 tbe time when liberty , equality ^ aad ja .-ticc fhall be inscribed on onr banners—when tntss principles

      shall be engraven on our hearts . , and peace , plenty , and happiness ihs lot of mauKiud—rrhen the hearts of our yoath are udtainted wi : h error , are imbued with the beauty of truth , enthusiastic , warm , compassionate , and benerolent , alive to the oppression thai crushes their fellows , keen in iheir perception of the cause and the means 10 remove if , theu is the time to make impressions on their minds which time will not eradicate or circumstances change , to stamp indelibly on their hearts an uiiqueneb&bte iave ot liberty , of truthful integrity , justice , and humauity . We hope that the example »< f chese youths will ba followed -by others throughout the couutrj . The stucents here have the srrotxcsi hopes of returning O'CoDnor at the next , elec : i-n . -M :. y su"cess a * -ten ;' . the = r effirts . fciurrah for O'Connor and the ttudtuts of Kmz's College .
