      THE BEAt / SESTIMENTS OF MS , J . ^ O'BRIEN , ON THE QUJE 8 TIOS : 4 S » THE PB . ETBKDEIY « UNION WITH THE MIDDLE CLASSES /

      and afterbiddinsgood bye to Messrs . M'PherBon , Storey , and tbe landlord of the Temperance Hotel , ( Mr . Leader ) where 1 stopped during my stay in tbe town , and who made me extremely comfortable , I went to Mr . Pierce ' s to dine , and then I started for Bury St Bdmunds , when load a . good meeting , and fifteen members took out their cards . I have now visited Lynn , Norwich , Wisbeach , Harleston , Ipswich , and Bury SU Edmunds ; and Iun proud to state that Chartism is rapidly extending through tbe agricultural districts . The Association must be established in Swaffbara , Deerbam , Sudbnry , Stowmazket , and scores of market towns in the three counties .

      I "Wish to point ont ( more partienlaily to . shoemakers , tailors , and members of other trades who are compelled to tramp from town to town for employment ) to members of our Association who leave one town to go to another , " that their first inquiry should be to discover if there are any Chartists in tbat town ; if not , to commence making some . If any , and not organized , to at ones unite them ; if organiztd , to lend his assistance to forward tbe cause . . I have now to address a few remarks to the General Council residing in Lynn , Wisbeach . Norwich , Bury St Edmunds , and Cambridge . What I wish to point out is the necessity , the absolute ,

      paramount necessity of employing a talented lecturer for the three counties of Norfolk , Suffolk , asd Cambridge . The Lynn , Wisbeach , and Norwich Chartists have promised me that they will raise their share of the expeaces . How , if the means could be raised to employ one for six weeks ; to begin by ids own exertions in breaking into fresh towns , the residue might be raised to pay him for a quarter ef a-year . I have been informed tbat Yarmouth -will contribute to eo laudable a purpose . I hope that the Council will take these points into their most serious consideration , as I am perfectly satisfied the Government have the greatest dread of the agricultural counties being instructed in tbe principles -of Chartism .

      In conclusion allow me to state that I cannot again , on any consideration , make another tour . The correspondence of the Association cannot be carried oa until I rfctnrn to London .. I should not have been away from it at this time , but that I bad long promised to visit thtse three counties , in consequent of representing them in the Convention . On Wednesday J started for Cambridge ; the secretary , Mr . Taylor , was at the Coach Office waiting for me . We bad a splendid and enthusiastic meeting at niEhL Mr . Cooper was in the chair . Eleven persons

      took o = t cards of membership . I forgot to mention tbat J fcil into ccmpaDy-witJi 3 Jr . Sefrell , one of the LondoB lecturers—be knew me—I did not know him ; bowevtr to were both soon engaged in conversation . A gentleman Hitting beside Mr . BcWell , said , " Why you two are perfectly acquainted already—why how 13 that ? ' We toJd him we were Chartists . He asked th ' e mesui : g of Chartism . I explained it He said he was a Chartist I at once enroiled him . He lives in Newmarket , bnt dare no ; publish bis ii&me . However 1 ha" » e his name down .

      -I nest visited Royston , in Hertfordshire , where there was no Association , and Mr . Wood , Mr . M'Donald , end other friends , said the wisest way to go to work would be to explain tbe principles first , and Bee how they -would be received . I scted on their advice , and after I had explained each point of the Charter separately , I took a shew ef hands ; and when I bad gone through the whole six , I told "them they were all Chartists . At the conclusion I issued upwards of twenty cards of ineuiberchip . I arrived in London on Friday —commenced -writing . I have been very busily employed ever since . Last night ( Monday ) I attended a mtetin ? of 15 . 000 persons , on Stepney Green . All parties will have tbeii cards of membership by Monday next I remain , Tour brother democrat , John Campbell .

      P . S . —Every place I visit , I recommend the Star , StaiesDian , and Circular . I send copies ot this letter to tae Star , Statesman , and Trum ^ ti of Walts . Notice , all letters for me to be addressed to the care of Mr . Join Cieave , Bookseller , 1 , Shoe Lane , London , to trb-om all monies for the Executive must ba n \ ade payable , and I wish it to be most particularly understood , that any letter for me in future , unless pre-paid , I wili not release , as the postage is sufficiently heavy otherwise . Cards can now bs had through the London bookseller's parcels to the remotest part of the country ¦ with little , if any , expense for postage .

      TxiE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION . We hope that , npon this subject , we have mads the people sufficiently to understand that the National Charter Association is one entire body ; not an aFscciatiou of different and distinct local bodies ; that no meetings of any separate part or section of the Association , nor any meetings of the members of the Association resident in any particular place , as such , can be Uegally ) holden ; but that they may still bear in mind , that in becoming members of the National Charter Association , they lose not one of their previously holden rights , as citizens and Chartists . They have a right to meet in their individual

      capacity as Chartists ; to interchange thtir opinions and sentiments upon any subject of discussion ; and if a difference of opinion arise , to take means for ascertaining how many of them adhere to the one or to the other side . They can , therefore , thus talk over amongst each other , at their weekly meetings * any subject of public discussion in which they may feel interested , and express , ly resolution or otherwise , their opinion thereupon ; and this local expression of opinion being carefully watched by the fevcral officers of the National Charter Association , will be made to serve as a guide for their movements in re f erence to the matters affected by it .

      Every torm and village in the Kingdom may legally have a distinct Chartist Society of its own j there may legally be two , or ten , or any given number , of such societies in any town . Any person may legally belong , at the same time , to as many of these different societies as he may choose . Each of these different societies may have its own council , and a r-erson may be a member of as many different

      councils as he may chocse ; and he may speak and vote in all the meetings of all the different societies acd councils of which he is a member . AH these different societies and councils may be governed by the sams rules ; but they must hold no official cor . respondence with each other , either by letter or delegation . Any man vrho is a member of two or more of these societies may state to one society , of which he ia a member the transactions of another

      society ; but he must mind to do' so in his own cazacily > individually , aa a member of that particular society , and kot as a delegate from the other society . Every member of all these different local associations may be also a member of the National Charter Association ; but it does not therefore follow that tbe local associations are branches o £ the National Association . A man may legally be a member of the Methodist Society , and at the same time a member of a Mechanics' Institute ; all the members cf a Mechanics' Institute might ba also members of a Methodist Society ; but it would not

      therefore follow , that the Mechanics' Institute was a braLch of the Methodist Society , or had any connection or correspondence with it . Just bo the information communicated by a member to one local society , of the resolutions or plans of operation of any other local society of which he may be a member , is no evidence of correspondence between the two societies j not even if like resolutions or plans of operation should le adopted in consequenee of the information thus given ; pbovided only that the said information be communicated individually » on his own account and responsibility , and

      NOT IN THE CAPACITY OF A DELEGATE . Thi 3 position may be tans illustrated . A man may be at tie same time a member of two different money clnbs , one meeting at the Fox and Goose Inn , and the other at the Hare and Hounds Inn . The Fox and Goo 3 e money club may have determined to advance no premiums to members without the security of two sureties in addition to that of the principal ; the same subject , of advancing premiumB to members , may be afterwards discussed at the Hare and Hounds money club ; a disposition may

      be there manifested to advanoe on the security of the principal alone ; and this man may get up and inform the club that in the Fox and Goose Club , of which he is a member , it is thought requisite to require two bondsmen ; and because of this information the Hare and Hounds Club may determine that they too will require two bondsmen ; and yet , it is quite clear that all this would cot proTe any connection or correspondence betweek the two ciajbs or societies as such . From all this h will , we trust , appear sufficiently eyident that the bodies of Chartists [ associated to-

      Untitled Article

      gether and meeting with each other in the different localities , do so without any direct reference to the National Charter Association . They meet as distinct local bodies , having no necessary reference to or connection with each other . The fact of their all adopting the same plan of government , of their all adopting like means for the extension of Chartist principles , and of their members severally and separately belonging also to the National Charter Asso ciation , is merely incidental . :

      These local Associations acting separately and by themselves give tone and expression to the public mind , and the officers of the National Charter Association , through whom all its operations are conducted , having thus the opportunity of being acquainted with the public mind , proceed to act on it . :.,.- ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ - .. '¦ ¦ . ¦ •¦ : To make this plain , we will suppose the nomination of members for the next General Council ( o be now taking placo . The Chartists of Bradford meet in their usual place of resort , on Monday evening ; among other subjects of discussion , the relative merits

      of nine men who have started as candidates for the General Council , and out of whom seven are to be elected , comes upon the carpet ; the people express their opinion upon the matter by vote ; they have a right to do so ; it is a matter for public opinion ; and though this expression of public opinion forms no part of the actual " operations of the National Charter Association , the sub-Secretary , whose duty it is to nominate the Councillors , will , of course , nominate to other persons than those whom public opinion has thus marked out for him .

      Should he dare to act otherwise , he would , in our opinion , prove himself to be be utferly unSt for his situation , and we should advise the Association instantly to replace him by a more worthy man The people must bear this in mind , that their weekly meetings , in their several localities , are not meetings of the National Charter Arsociation ; they are meetings of the Chartists thereabouts resident in their individual capacity . The business of the officers of the Association is , to walch the current of opinion in their several departments of the Chartist world , and to regulate their movement ? accordingly .

      Every distinct local association should have its own books , especially a book of general entry , in which are entered the names , trades , and residences of all parties making profession of Chartist principles . Every local secretary who has hot a book of this description should instantly provide himself with one , ruled in columns for the name , trade , residence , and date of entry . It would also be well to have columns to specify such as may be municipal or Parliamentary voters . This is the local register . I : contains no test or declaration of faith or principles ; but it is known and understood that every

      man who authorises the insertion of his . name in this book professes himself a Chartist , and he becomes thereby an enrolled Chartist of that locality . In this capacity he meets with his fellow Chartists of the neighbourhood , and agrees to or dissents from the several resolutions or matters of public discussion which come before them . But all this has nothing to do with the National Charter Association ; of which he beoomes a member by taking out his card from any Sub-Secretary or other person authorized to enrol members . Generally the Secretary of every local association should be also a Sub-Secretary of the National Charter Association . It is then his duty to exhort every

      person professing Chartism in his locality to take out a card of membership in the National Charter Association . For this purpose he either keeps a separate book for the enrollment of members of the National Charter Association , or which is peThaps better , he ticks off by some marks known to himself , the name of every one on his ChartiEt roll , to whom a card has been issued . It is his duty , at all times when required by the General Secretary , which should be every week , to send these names—of the parties to whom cards have been issued—for insertion in the books of the General Secretary , which ought at all times to exhibit a list of all the names of all the members of the National

      Charter Association , open to the inspection of all the members . Any neglect of this duty by the General Secretary would make himself and every other prominent member of tbe Association amenable to the law . Now we hope that , after this , we shall have less trouble with watching and rewriting the numberless Chartist reports thai come to us . Let every such report begin— " The Chartists of such a place met and did so and so " ; not " The members of the National Charter Association , " or the " National Charter Association" did so and so . Let all resolutions and

      addresses commence , not We , the members of the National Charter Association , in public meeting , < kc , but" we the Chartists" of such or such a place ; so in describing meeting rooms , never talk of "the National Charter Association room" of such a place always "the Chartist Room . " So again , in speaking of Councils , never say " the General Council " of such a place , did so and so ; always " the Gouncii , " or " the Councillors . "

      The various Chartist secretaries and sub-secretaries can have no idea of the amount of trouble they hava hitherto given us in reference to these little things ; notwithstanding that we have before , more than once , called their attention to it . Some of our own paid correspondents are equally careless . We hope that this final notice of the matter will save us the trouble hereafter , and save the rascally factions the opportunity which would otherwise be given them of gleauing evidence against us from our own documents .

      We hope never to see the people slavishly fearful of the law or its myrmidons ; but there is much difference between being slavishly fearful , and needlessly fool-hardy . There ia no need to run our heads wilfully against a post . Bad and villanous as the law is , let us at least comply with it as far as we can do so , with a little extra care . We shall next week begin a general commentary upon the rules and co&stitution of the National Charter Association , and the means by which they maybe safely and effectually carried out , and our glorious cause pushed en to triumph .

      THE "DEBATE" ON DUNCOMBE'S MOTION . When the Tories are out of office , they , like the Whigs , can loudly inveigh against the acts of persecution and prosecution perpetrated during the sway of the antagonist faction . This , interwoven with strong protestations of their zeal for the common weal , constitutes their stock-in-trade on their accession to power . But no sooner dp they get firmly Eeated on the saddle of power than they show the cloven foot ; riding rough-shod over all who oppose their misrule , or expose their nefarious

      designs . The two factions evince a like deadly hatred to all who will not succumb to their villanies , and laud their atrocities to the skies . They dread pnblicity being given to their deadBj and would fain hunt every man out of existence who has the honesty and courage to draw aside the veil , and exhibit their delinquencies to the public gazs . They know well that the peoople . cannot now be hood-winked ; that they will not be diverted from their onward course , in pursuit of a complete or radical change of the

      Governmental system , by any faction-hatched humbug however tinselled , or by whomsoever propounded . No ; the tyrants know that the' workies * are now on the right scent , and will so continue until the game iB run down . Hence arises the hostility of the whole host of corruption to the Chartist cause . Against it an their artillery j ^ directed . But , thank God , we live to see that cause rendered invulnerable to every attack , whether eoming direct from the seat of Government , or ; from their hired subordinates .

      Chartism is now all-powerful ! Like the rolling snow-ball it is incessantly increasing in magnitude ; while faction is in its dying agony , and must soon be numbered amonget the things of olden times : a

But any kind of irrelevant nonsense serves to rivet the sages to their seats when their purposes ate to be subserved , either in coercing the people , sneering at their prayers , or squandering their hard earnings on the idlers , in the shape of pensions , grants , or emoluments .

      MAttALiEU , appears to us , from the circumstances detailed , to be a reptile who would not feel the least companctioa to swear away the lives of one half of the country to serve the purposes of his employers . But such wretches are ever selected by tyrants , to do their dirty work . Honest men would much rather beg their bread from door to door than submit to become the paid took of ail overbearing

      oligarchy ; well knowing that when they thus engage themselves , they forfeit their character and the esteem of every good man . Max . la . uei ; is indeed fit for no society save that iol which his forerunner , Beamanj moves ; and we guess should he ever commingle with any portion of the comnfunity , other than the sneaking tribe with whioh he is properly connected , he will receive such a lecture aa will deter him from repeating his intrusioni

      Wejasfc week told our brethren to keep wide awaker and eye well all strangers ere they accost them as friends , or allow them io enter their councils . We again repeat the : caution ; watchfulness is more requisite now than at any former stage of our movement . As wo " . approach * the haven of our hopes , our vigilance must be increased ; otherwise our anticipations may be out off even on . the very threshold of fruition . Chartists in various localities hafe very wisely refused to countenance any lecturer ueless ho bo-fur . nfch . ed with satisfactory credentials this is as it ought to bo : but there possibly may be other dangerous characters prow-ling through tb land , who may not ascend Ihe platform , yet they may perfect their share of a traitor ' s work Beware !

      We are happy to announce that the harpies have signally failed in establishing any serious charge against M'Douall or Others for the part they took at the meeting in the Broadway . Not even the shade of a shadow of evidence could be adduced on which to hang a charge of sodition , riot , or illegal assembling , and all the vaporing about such matters in the tax-trap , were only wild dreams floating in tbe phrenzled brain of our crest-fallen legislators .

      Their tools , no doubt , were instructed to make out a case , subjecting the persons a ( some one or more of the leading Chartists to "durance vile , " but though the " blue bottles '' might be full to ; the very neck with zeal to do their maBters will , yet the materiel was wanting , and the Chartists have grown too wise to furnish it ; Thus the affair dwindled into a paltry charge of obstructing the highway , and oven this was unsupported by evidejce .

      Had double the number assembled on the same ground to witness an exhibition of Punch and Judy , the polic ' 3 would have made themselves ' scarce , and the performance would have concluded without interruption . Had some canting field-preacher occupied the ground for the purpose of vemiting forth a , tirade of abuse against the " Infidel Chartists , ? and

      corrupting the Word of God by promulgating passive obedience and non-resistance to tyranny then the " forcp" would have practically obeyed the latter portion of his creed . Anything to stultify tho public mind must be encouraged ; but this was a Chartist meeting , and , of course , the spy , the bludgeon-man , and licensed disturber of the peace , must be at his post , to do that which he is ostensibly commissioned to suppress .

      All these doings of the confederated baud , Whigs and Tories , demonstrate their fear of our gigantic strength . ! They know we are in the ascendant , in fact the only powerful body in the state . They dread us ; in our strength they see their own weakness ; in our success they perceive their own overthrow . We are working peacefully and effectively , and shall assuredly come off mote than conquerors , if we be wise , vigilant , and watchful .

      We know that our organization is such that every assembly of our body will be characterized by peace and order , if not interfered with by the myrmidons of despotism ; but as the ' wolves , are among the flock , as the blood-hounds are abroad , as the jackals are in quest of prey for the enraged lions , we corijaro our brethren to be on the look out , and fail not to givo the alarm . We cannot now spare another man , and therefore let not the beasts of prey have another Frost , another William ^ another Jones , another CtAVTON , another Holberky . For the blood of the Chartists they pant , but let disappointment overtake them .

      JOHN FROST . In the House of Commons , on Friday , August the 29 ; h , Mr . Sharman Crawford stated that he had been requested to ask the Noble Lord , the Secretary for the Colonies , whether the rumour which had been circulated with respect to the convict Frost was true , to the effect that he was compelled to work in chains in a penal colony Lord Stanley answered , that there was no each circumstance stated in the last official report from the Colony , and that he did not believe there was any truth iu the rumour .

      The London papers do not notice this . We happen to know that the report is but top true . A letter has been received by the family of Mr . Ifoosi confirming it . The rascals merely deny- it in the hopes of smothering public indignation .

      THE NATIONAL CONFERENCES ;* We peroeive from the reply of the Executive to the Leicestershire Delegates , that they persist in the call for a "National Conference" at Manchester on the 16 th of August . We were in hope that the Executive would condescend to give the country a little more information touching the necessity for these conferences . Such , however , does not appear to be their intention . We know not what the country mean to do about it , for very few places have spoken out about it . However the time is at hand , and we , therefore , make no apology . for repeating the following direction s from last week ' siS / a ^ in order that if the people do callthese conterencefl , Uniay be done rightly and legally , giving no handle for the

      enemy tk > lay hold of . The 16 th of August draws near ; and the people , if they mean to have a' ^ National *' Conference , should begin to prepare . In the first place eyery delegate sent to thia . " Conference ' must be" elected by a public meeting ; Not a public meeting of We ChartiBt Awo ^ jdn ,. but an > pen public meeting—Wpublio meeting of the inhabitants of the place , called fw / A ^ purjw « r . This most be particularly attended ; io ^'; An fyfeSji going there merely as , ; a ^ elegajte tr , oj » ^ jpartioui ^ Clia ^ isi body would render the whole t proceedings illegal , and every meinberef theCton ^ ftrence liable to imprisonment . If , thereforei tiaieC Conference is to be holden , every place sending a delegate must call a publio meeting for his eleotiori * : i ^ i >

      , This , if Carefully » tteitf $ ^^ ll constitute the meeting a legal delegateVioeetiBgv JArid 1 if delegatea be thus appointed from all parts of the kingdom , in suflicient numbers , it may deserve the name of a national delegate meeting . We doubt its being BO j if it be , we should recommend thei careful consideration of ^ ^ the plan of organisation , with a view , not to its-alteration in principle , but to the further and more full , carrying put of its prinoiples , by the appointment

      Brief Rules foe the Government of all whs . write for this paper : — 1 . Write legibly . Make as few erasures and interlineations aa possible . In ^ ^ writing names of persoris and places be , more particular than usual to make every letter distinct and clttar—also ini using words not English . 2 . Write only on one side of the paper . 3 . Employ no abbreviations whatever , but write out every word in full . 4 . Address all communications intended for publics tibn to the - " Editor "; all other communicationssuch as orders , remittances of money . &c . —totke Publisher , " Mr . J . Hobson ; all remittances of money to any of the public funds for which books

      are kept here , to Mr . Ardill . Much unnecesEary trouble ofteri . arises to us from a want 6 f precision in attending to these things . Never mix up these different matters in the same sheet . Always prefer to send an enclosure , or even a aeparata letter . Much confusion of ten Occurs ^ and many-articles of news ' get overloojked , because of their being written on the same sheet as contains the order of an Agent , which goes into the Publishing Office , and is liable ,, in the hurry of the business , to be forgotten instead of being Bent up to the Editor . So again orders have been sometimes neglected , because of their being written on the back of news paragraphs , which being sent to the Editor

      nave been by him " put in feandi'V without rernenv bering to transcribe the order . All these accidents will beprevented , if persons who Bend here will send their communications severally to the right quarter , and not" muddle" them together . 5 . When you sit down to write , don't be in a hurryj Consider that hurried writing makeB slow printing . 6 . Remember that we go to press on Thursday that one side of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are obliged to go on filling up the paper the whole week , and that , therefore , when a load of matter comes by the last one or two posts ^ it unavoidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it is therefore necessary to be prompt in your comnvuni ¦ - cations . ' - ¦ ¦ ¦ . ' - ¦ ¦'¦ ¦ . ¦ ' ¦ '¦ -.. . v " . ¦' .. .

      All matters of news , reports of meetings , ic ., &o referring to occurrences on Friday , Saturday , or Sunday , should reach us by Monday ' s post ; such aa refer to Monday ' s ocbnrrencea by Tuesday evening ' s post ; Wednesday ' s occurrences by Thursday's post ; and Thursday ' snews by Friday morning ' s po 3 t , for second edition . Any deviation from this order pf supply will necessarily subject the matters so received to the almost certainty of rejection or serisus curtailment , and we la / cenoblamefofit All personal correspondence , poetry , literary communications , and articles of comment to be here by Tuesday , or their chance of insertion for that week will be very small indeed ; if not here by Wednesday we don't hold ourselves bound even to

      notice them . ; ; ¦'•"' .-: ; v 7 . Finally , remember that we have only forty-eight columns weekly for all England , ; Scotland , Wales , and Ireland ; that We have nb interest in piefeitiDg one town or placo to another , be ^ cause oiirs is not a local but a national paper ; that we are bound , therefore , in dealing with the masses of matter whiok come to us , to hold the scales of Justice evenly— -our first object being the promotion and enhancement , according' to our own best judgment , fit the success of the great and gooS cause ; and our second , the distribution of our time and space so as to give least cause of complaint ; that we are alike bound to this course of aciion by inclination , interest , and duty . "• ' and that ,

      therefore , it is useless and senseless for individuals to fume and fret , and think themselves ill used because their communications may not always be inserted , or for societies to troiable their heads and waste their time . in passing votes of censure' upon us for devoting too much space to this , or too little to that , or for inserting this thing which they think should have been omitted , or for omitting the other thing which they think should have appeared . AH these are matters for our consideratiorii and forthe exercise of our discretion " and judgment , which , we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , without feat or favour to any one , and without being allowed to be turned for one instant from its

      course : by ill-natured snarls or bickerings . OhaRtist ADDK . ESSES . r-rAe General Secretary—Mr John Campbell , 18 . Adderley-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Manchester .
