So long as the productions of ell were in tome measure sotzaslt distbixbzed among all , —capital and speculation being jnstly requited , yrMle labour "was partially protected , —so ioag wait easy lo devise means ** io get * 3 ° ihe general labour and capital fund , through ihe usual channels of taxation , Some regard was - then iad to demrnd ana supply , not traly in theprodnciag , bat also ia the mercantile and agency departments . When the markets were sufficiently

      stocked , prodnction « nd speculation in bnsiness slackened : that 5 b ; when manual labour gave the sterling stamp of Talne to real money , and -when capital consisted for the most part of that real money , a combination of both interests checked the errll of over-prodnetlon in its infancy 5 wMle trade being also carried on for the most part with real money , the agency , or shopkeeping , market was segnlated by demand « nd supply . These two eirenmstances then , traffic being carried on in real money , and prudence forbidding too great a Tentnre in a balanced trade and shopkeeping market , insnred the expenditure of the whole labour fund in such commodities as our " Solomons could devise means

      M io set » t . This process -srss aided by the law of primogeniture , whieh closed die land market-against speculation ; and all these circumstances combined ensured the circulation of ihe great national fund through gnah »> MmTitCU as t ^ onld flow , in one shape or other ,, into the Government Exchequer . Tie insduous means , however , by which taxation could be brought to bear upon the necessaries of the many , cannot , by any possibUUy be ' made to reach the large fortunes amassed by the few I The great ** extension " of our trade in artificial produce , has led io a corresponding extendon of artificial money to keep it afloat 5 and -what k&csisebt is rro laboto ,

      pic-UTJOBS c » "wtat . 25 to EiJl 30 OXET ; each depressing and hourly Tendering less valuable that which it proposes io represent . Hence fte existence of a sound labour market is incompatible with the existence of an unsound monetary system : and the straggle is now between nature sad artifice . The Government , —would It continue io exist , —and the whole body of the people must take the . side of natare ; while THE THING , which the Government is said to represent , " nationalfaith "; and the faiienerB upon aafionalibDy and Government imoee 2 ity , mnstiaarshall themselves under the banners of artifice .

      The system of producing by an nnconsnming power has driven the owners of real capital ont of ihe ^ narket . Men wife J 3 . 000 , £ 4 , 000 , or even £ 10 , 000 , sad without artifieial credit , could not hold np against men who , thongh without any real capital , are still in alllanee or partnership-with ihe Managers of ihe ^*^ £ ^ Oonds of others ; iarrag -sn TmKmited nse tfh ^ T promise to pay , * and as many BenewalB" as they please to " accept " , at an interest by so means commensurate with the an-Ceipated profits from a basiling trade . These are ihe sharks of the speculating order ; and have not

      only devoured the profits of those who , without large bank-credits , were compelled to buy and sell with the day ; Int they have also swallowed np the remnant ef every bankrupt ' s fortune , widow's penson , and confiding " shareholders ' all : ihe total of which constituted the supposed security of ten ¦ fimes ihe amount of * paper * ' it was said to represent . The command of capital and of machinery enabled ibe LraiiHiiB of trade to hold and to om-hria ; while ; the small fry , with the produce of real money , were compelled to compete with the worthless speculators in the same market . Hence

      las arisen a system of gambling in the mannf&eturing market npon the necessities of small iradera : established precisely upon i&e principle by which " stock ' in the money market is affected by persons merely transferring it fromside to side of flieir ledger ; speculating npon a " xise or fall" in the Talne of other men ' s money ! How many small manufacturers have been ruined by one or two ^ depressed markets ! while those who have caused ihe depression have made that profit which legitimately belonged to the fair trader , by merely overholding ibeir produce for a " rise I \

      Let us now see how this system affects the shopieepeis . We wHl suppose twenty or thirty Email traders in clothes and iroollen cloths to be making a living , with moderate profits , -apon real capital . "We will also suppose that a portion of " surplus Capital '* is applied by some adventurer ia the same fine of business . With a bank-credit , he starts in opposition ; advertises ; sends ont his placards and perambulators ; raises money npon appearances ; undersells all ; till he fails himself , vitu tvu * cce £ I 3 ! and when he has swallowed np

      the profits -of "brisk trade , and destroyed all without credit , le makes a settlement with the representative of ihe shareholders of some unfortunate "joint stock" 1 To -pat £ be cHinnr * on ibe ** wise" proceeding , all the costs of legal proceedings * re saddled upon those who , by the srsriH , have lost aUeontro * dovertheir all *; and » t length another respectable class of the community , composed of lefirea tradesmen , -widows , and f licse who anticipated security for the remnant 4 > f jiheir fortunes , are thrown helpless and nnpitaed on the world 1 whfle commissioners , lawyers , and law sharks , laugh at iheir misfortunes , and fatten npon the fragments of * he "stock" !

      In the midst of this general confnsion , brought Skbsut by this fictitious system , we find the parties who have fattened upon it characteristicaQy bawling Insdly for its * extenaon" J And in this * b&vrY " **« y are joined iy the men who hare been stripped « f iheir " all" hy Its operations so far !

      THE CONFERENCE . It being now arranged that the Conference shall be holden at Birmingham on the 5 th of next month , we have , in common vrith many of oar correspondents , to express a fervent hope that none bnt good and true men will be appointed as delegates . The forthcoming meeting surpasses in importance all others that have ever been holden by the Chartist body ; and will consequently be looked forward to with an intensity of interest . The recent dodgings of the Attwoods , the Mbktze 3 , and the Edhos » 3 give an additional interest to the place of meeting ; while the reception of the people ' s friend , Mr . Bukcombe , will be calculated to furnish an additional test of popular devotion to the principles ef the People ' s Charter . : ¦

      Ii -mil be well lo remind the delegates of the opinions expressed by several Judges of the land , as to the legality of agitating for the People ' s Charter ; and further to remind them that to the MODE of agitation , and not to the principles contended for , has legal authority been enabled to stretch the quirks and quibbles of ibe law . Baron Roue has said : " The advocates of the People's Charier have a LEGAL RIGHT to endeavour , hy all peaceable means , to induce others to join them , in order to make ihe Charier become the lava of the land . " Again the samegreat constitutional Judge said "A man cannot beTRIED FOR CHARTISM . It is perfectly leg alto be a Chartist and to advocate Chartist principles . ** Mr . Justice Ebskise has delivered the following

      opinion—** Let it not be said that a man can he tried for being a Chartist : it is absurd . " Baron AxpsssQH has said : " Any man , or body of men , have as good right to be Chartists as other men have to be Whigs or Tories . " Chief Justice Tikdal has said : * The people have a right to meet when they like and where they like , for the discussion -of the Charier ? Mr . Justice Ebskise has further said : " The people of this Empire have a right to meet whenever they please la promote the People ' s Charter , by fair discussion and LEGAL MEANS . " Sir F . Pollocx-Attorney-General , has pronounced the following opinion : " I do not say that Chartism is unlawful ; on the contrary , 1 beg you to dismissfrom your minds all idea of Chartism being unlawful . WHEN

      THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT THE CHARTER MUST BECOME THE LAW OF THE LAND . " Mr . Judge Pattisos , in passing sentence npon CooPEB and Richabbs , said : ** / teish lo correct an erroneous impression which appears to have been made upon the mind of one of the defendants , that he has been , c&nvieled of being a Chartist . It is no such JMnff . He has < i fight to be a Chartist . Bt ^ T HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW IN

      HIS ADVOCACY OF CHARTISM . " Now from these several opinions , given by a majority j of the Judges , and all within the hist six months , it may be safely inferred that to public opinion , and not to diminished hatred of the principles of Chartism , is to be attributed even so much of judicial toleration . The growth of opinion since 1839 , when * ' to be a Chartist was to be a traitor , " may be gathered from this altered tone 1

      Having the assurance of the Attoknet-Gbneral that ** when the people nsuxnn the Charter , it jlDST become the law of the land , " wonld not its advocates be culpable and highly censurable , were they to fail in so fencing those principles , the legality of which is admitted , as to defy the intrusion of the l 3 w ?—the vengeance of the Executive I—the whim of ihe Judge 1—or the caprice of the Jury 1 Elsewhere , in our number of to-day , Trill ba fonnd an

      elaborate disquisition npon ihe question of questions —the Organization of the public mind j and ,. while we invite the most searching inquiry into its ; principles and details , we trust that those who are prepared to oppose it , will be also prepared with a substitute equally calculated to achieve the general object . Belying , as we ever have done , upon the vigilance of the popnlar mind , we wonid invite it to a close perusal of , and serious deliberation uponi . The Plas to which we refer : while we would

      fnriber EDggest the propriety of meeting any pbjections in detail , in a written foim , to be transmitted to the Chairman of the delegate meeting . All the petty machinations of those who have hitherto lived npon the dissension in onr ranks hare tailed ! There has been an under-ground struggle to circumvent all attempts at Organization ! But the voice of the faithful Has silenced the growling of the disaffected . In the combination of the improved mind of the working classes , the ** trafficking politician" sees the destruction of w his trade f' and trembles at the exposure to which iti continuance would subject him .

      To be free , ¦ we must be united . To be tmitod , ire must be of one mind . To be of -one mind , we - must thoroughly understand each other . And , to understand each other , we mnst be completely Organized . ** Our strength is in onr Union ; onr power in our voice ; and our success hi our perseverance . "

      ehsnneL ] Ten years ago , when the oldest firm in Kidderminster manufactured much leas than they do now . they employed upwatdB of tntee hundred hands . Now they manufacture considerably more ; and the number of bands employed is materially less ; while the condition : of those stil l left on , ia materially wersej The decrease in wages , and in numbers of employed , ia » : kept pace exactly -with the " march of machinery . " For years past the poor woolcombers or Kidderminsteihave been ; butpattialiy employed ; many listing frequently been for eight , ten , and twelve weeks together without a " hand-stroke . " Three months ago they were rednced to the lowest standard of wages in the kingdom ; and now , to « rowa all ; now , that trade Is "improved ; " now .

When the worker gets to work Hn the natural market for MmseJ / , and there establishes a standard of wages , below which none need workl Then will an end be pnt to these reductions . Then will the relations between employer and employed bo changed : the former seeking the latter , and tempting him with " bioh wages iV but singing precious small about the " plenty . to-de" to obtain them . The Victims , and the Yjcxim Tdnd . —Again we must reiterate the calls of the Victims for help I

      Nothing worthy-of the name is being done ! We know there 1 b the Conference on ; and tbat that takes np the attention , and engrosses almost all the means of the Chartist body at the present moment . Still the Victims should not be quite forgotten ! Amidst all , and amongst all , they aboald be present before the mind's eye : and ; that presence indicated by seme small snms for their relief . Let as implore those who have done nothing to get to work en the instant ; and let us urge on those who have already done something , to try once more f Bee the numbers in Kirkdale Gaol J : Remember the appeal of HOYLE and Williams . Forget not their generous , their magnanimous effer to be without assistance

      themselves , sooner than their brethren in bondage should be turned out of prison penniless , and destitute ! Remember , too , the fate of the wife of James Hesgue of Sufctaneld , whe died for want of the common necessaries of life 1 Remember that she has left fonr motherless children to be provided for . Call to mind these things ; , and a " mite " to succour the distressed will sorely be found and forthcoming . Happy are we to say , that some towns have nobly done their duty in this case of the victims . We lately published an account which redounded much to the honour of the London men . We now present a record of some of the " country doings" : doings which deserve to be recorded : —

      Deab Sib , —For >* ome time past , I have observed , with much pain , your columnB occupied with complaints by , and on behalf of , the political victims . Now , Sir , it does appear to me that gross and unfeeling negleet hu been manifested by the various towns and districts where those victims reside , and also where the men themselves are suffering their terniB of imprisonment Nottingham has bad its share of difficulties to encounter ; but it giveB me much pleasure in being able to say that the Chartists of the district generally have nobly performed their duty npon this occasion , —they having sent about £ 40 to the Ganeral Defence and Victim

      Fond , without receiving any assistance in return from su « h Fund , although twenty-nine victims were made here , twenty-six of whom were convicted and served various terms Of imprisonment in Santhweli House of Correction , whose defence , and the support which their families received , cost the sum of £ 106 . Independent of this outlay , we have rendered assistance to the wife of the martyr ed Ellis , and the sick wife of the indomitable Cooper- also to Dr . M'Donatt , and Mr . Leach , of Hyde ; ana , though last , not least , we have had to find means to fight oar enemies at four contested elections in the short space of two . years .

      If , Sir , the country generally bad done their duty as they * ought to nave { done , I am certain that sufficient funds would have been at tne disposal of our worthy Treasurer to h * vs relieved every one who had been so nnfortunate as to have fallen into the " League Trap " of AuguBt but . : Hoping that my brethren will endeavour , to the best of their abilities , to wipe away the foul Btigma from their characters , and no longer see the wives and families of their persecuted friends suffer , and also learn a lesson from the past , 2 remain , dear Sir , yours respectfully , James Sweet , Secretary te the Nottingham Political Victim Fnnd .

      The Brighton Chartists desire us to notice that any locality -wishing to correspond with them are requested to address to Mr . Ellis , 86 , Edward-street , Brighton , Sussex . They state further that they shall be glad to correspond with any other locality , to urge one another to be up and doing . " Now , simple and praiseworthy as the act here invited is , yet the doing of it , without Organization j n with an Organization kot enrolled ; would subject both parties , the sender and reviver Qgjttia letter , to imprisonment for three months ,- ort ^ mMsporiationfor seven years ! if the " authorities " choose to wreak the " vengeance of the law" on them ! Are not these heavy risks' to run ? Is then any sense in running TQose risks , when we can so easily avoia

      it ? Agree to some such Plan of Organfzitloa as we thiB day publish ; [ get it enrolled under the Acts of Parliament now in existence on the Statute-book » and these risks are at an end . The Manchester- ! Victim Fund Committee . — We have received the following from the Manchester Committee . We bad been given to understand , by Mr . O'Connor , tbat the matter had been arranged . We understood him to say that be had seen some of the Manchester Committee , or the Manchester Council , and bad suggested to them that the best course to be panned to get rid of the difficulty that had presented itself , was for the Committee to examine all cases referred to them ; and then issue

      thbir order for Mr . Cleave , as Treasurer , to honour . And thiB suggestion , we understood Mr . O'Connor to say , the Manchester friends had acceded to , as -the bast course to satisfy all concerned . In reference to the following appeal we would say , that the Manchester Committee should disburse the sums now in their hands of themselves ; examine into the other cases needing relief ; and then say to Mr . Cleave what sum they think each particular case entitled to . We would further suqgvst tbat the Committee act on tins plan immediately : for " while the grass grows the horse starves . " It will not do to be eternally coquetting about the disbursement of a few pounds . Here is the address : —

      Address o / ihe National Pidim Fund Committee , to ihe Chartists of Great Britain Brother Chartists , —It is with great regret tbat we feel ourselves bound to issue thia brief address calling upon you to give unreservedly your opinions as to the line of conduct yon would wise us to pursue . You STe aware that repeated calls were mnde upon the Chartists of this locality to appoint a committee as the almoners of your bounty ; and after a great deal of deliberation they complied with what appeared to be the national wish . We were appointed pro Jbrma by the Council ; and duly confirmed by the members at a special meeting , called expressly for the consideration of thiB important subject ; but although we have met sever&l times in our official capacity ; and though

      applications of a most pressing nature have been made , "We find ourselves utterly powerless . We need not inform you that Mr . Cleave has signified bis intention of disbursing the monies in his possession , till the forthcoming Conference ; and we find he has regular communication with parties who are , or have been , incarcerated in Kirkdale Gaol . Now as Mr . Cleave states that he bopes to be perfectly cognizint of the circumstances of each applicant so as to be enabled to lay tbem before the country , -we consider it would be presumptions in us to proceed to an investigation of the cases , or recommendation , of the applicants alluded to by Sir . Cleave ; especially as sot a line has been sent to ns from any of them . There is another feature in this unpleasant business which we wish to have satisfactorily arranged , before we proceed to the

      disbursement of monies sent to us : and in eider that all of you may understand what we mean , we will ask two plain questions : 1 st " Are we justified in withholding monies from Mr . Cleave sent for our appropriation ? " 2 nd . "Shall ! we transmit them to him , or proceed at once to the- relief of the cases we have been investigating 1 ' ( Our Carlisle - brethren will see tbess questions have » reference to them in particular ) . Decide either way , and we shall be satisfied . We disclaim any desire to deprive Mr . Cleave of the pleasure be experiences in . the alleviation of misery engendered by tyranny . Nor are we ambitious to remain in office ; but will willingly resign upon the first intimation that it is the wish of the country we should do so . Let us then know your opinions as speedily as possible .

      In conclusion , we will just advert to Mr . Cleave ' s remarks upon *• the Committee of the Carpenters' Hall Locality having appointed a Victim Fund Committee from among themselves . " To this we answer that the appointment was made to meet the exigencies of the case . They never had . it in contemplation to elect a Committee without consulting the members ; and as the members ratified the appointment , Mr . Cleave may now add the Manchester members to bis list of those who voted for the appointment . We wish also to set him right re ' ative to his statement that the Council met on the Sunday night They did no Buch thing . The business was discussed on the regular meeting night ; and arrangements made to procure the sanction of the members on the following Sunday . We remain , brother Caartists , till you have decided to the contrary , the members of the Jfatieoal Victim Fand Committee . ¦

Thorn . ; The course pursued by Mr . p'Cotmor was in strict accordance with a resolution proposed by him , and seconded by Mr .

      O Brien , and carried unanimously , in the Convention of 1842 . [ The object of Mr . O'Connor in proposing that resolution was , to put a stop to the cowardly and brutal practice of writing private letters for the purpose of creating prejudice ; against individuals whom the slanderer hoped , by such means , to destroy : and if every person who receives such com ? munlcatiobs was to adopt the same course that Mr . O'Connor has taken with respec ^ to Pepiow , it would go far to check the evil , to expose the assassin , and to protect the victim . Mr . O'Conuor begs to assure Mr . Thorn , that all attempts to undermine Mr . Pepiow in his estimation will fail , as be believes him to be an honest man and sincere Chartist : and he further begs testate , that ail letters addressed to him , containing chaTgea against individuals , shall be forthwith transmitted to the party accused . It should be understood that Mr . Pepiow declines receiving anything for his services .

      Plans forj Organization . —Mr R . T . Morrison , of Nottingham , will see that it would be useless to gire his outline at the pteseuV Hia object i » fully carlred out in the plan given in this day ' s Star ; not an ontline , but in full . Points of detail can be best attended to at the Conference . We were much pleased to ! see that be has aimed to compass exactly the same ends as ourselves . It is , to us , another evidence that the time has come when we can take a step in advance ; for mind is much mere

      forward than it was only twelve months ago : and we must keep up to it Mr . Morrison ' s reports were also received ; but when they came to hand , a notice furnished by another friend was in type . Mary Ghassby and the Hull female Chartists—We fear the publication of their letter to Mr . Thessiger would not do much good . It is better to leave him . to his own reflections , knowing that the abuse he sputtered forth was paid for , and tbat he W 08 bUt a VILE HIRELING . Todmorden will do next week . ,

Huges Is . 6 d ., Manchester local Victim Fund , per Mr . John Nuttall 15 s . 7 £ d . MR . Dixom , ! Manchester . —We are glad to hear that Mr . ZUxon ia recovering Rota ais severe affliction , though it is but slowly . JOHN ADDISON—Certainly : he can have either the National Petition Piate , or any of the large Plates or Portraits , by sending for them , either direct , or through his agent . The best way is to send sixteen post stamps ; and then the plate can be forwarded direct by poBt . The Durham Colliers * Delegate Meeting . — Their report was much too late last week , as was then noticed . This week the request for its insertion only reached us again on Thursday mornhig .

      The Election op Delegates to Conference . — Again we repeat tbat alt meetings for the election of delegates to Conference must be public ones ; publicly attnonnced ; and the election must be free and public . It must be stated too , what the object of the Conference 1 b ; and the day and place of its meeting . Credentials , signed by the Chairman of each meeting , setting forth the election of each delegate to " a Conference of Delegates , to be boiden at Birmingham , on the 5 th of September , 18 * 3 , to consider npon and devise A Plan for the Organization of a Society to enforce npon public attention the principles of the People ' s Charter , and to devise means for their practical application , *' should ba given to each delegate , to entitle him to take his seat .

      There seems to have been some misunderstanding in North Lancashire respecting the delegate to represent them . It appears that Burnley and P ^ diham would not nave been , repre 8 « nted by the . gentleman fixed on : for bis opinions , on a vital point , were diametrically opposed to { theirs . They feave , therefore , resolved on sending a delegate for themselves ; while the first delegate will represent the other localities in the district . In this matter we think the Burnley men have acted properly . They have a right to be represented : and if that cannot be done by general representation , special representation can alone get over the difficulty . We are glad to see the resolution of the friendsj relative to thia matter . It shows that they are too ! wise to make it a ground of quarrel . The

      bare fact of objecting to the fitness of parties for office is too of ten sought te be turned into " personal attacks "; and many a man has been suffered to step into office unopposed , from a fear existing that , if grounds of objection were stated , it would be construed into " an attack upon his private character " . This nonseuse we must have done With . A man either is fit , or he is not Those who elect are the only judges . Before his election bis merits ana fitness ought to be canvassed over . Opinion should not be fettered ; but be freely given : and the decision , wben come to , generally abided by . It shows a weak mind , or is evidence of bad intention , when any nm objects ! to have his qualifications questioned , or his fitnoss disputed .

      Another peculiarity connected with this choice of a delegate for North Lancashire deserves a passing notice . Someone there , it seems , thought of Mr . D . Ross , and mentioned him as one likely to serve them . It was stated , in answer , that Mr . Ross was fixed upon by some place in Yorkshire ; and , therefore , he was fore-gone by the North Lancashire men , they not wishing to have one man representing two places , it now turns out that the story about Mr . Ross being "to be elected for some place in Yorkshire , " was unfounded . The North Lancashire District Secretary writes us : — " I have Mr , Rasa ' s authority to state that be never anticipated being sent from Yorkshire nor did be authorize any person by word or letter to make such statement" Now this ia

      unfortunate . It is not acting fairly to Mr . Ross . That statement , and its publication in the report of the doings of the North Lancashire Delegates , has most probably prevented Mr . Ross from being fixed . upon , by some locality or other , for a representative . Thus he uas b « en placed in a false position . Now , however , the Chartist body will know that Mr . Ross is at liberty ; jand we have no doubt will be as much inclined , as he is well able , to serve them , should they deem his services of Value to them . Place of Meeting ? or Conference . —The friends in Birmingham ought at their very first meeting , either on Sunday or Monday next , to appoint some three active i business-men , as a Committee , to arrange for the meeting of Conference . There will need a place of met ting . This should be secured

      before-haud . > What is the Aston-ttreet Room ? Is it convenient '? Is it adapted ? Then there is the Hall-of-Science , another Chartist meeting place . Some place or other ought to ba secured . And the committee oaght also to prepare a list of ledgings ; clean and cheap lodgings , where the representatives of the poor may live at as little cost as may be compatibleWith comfort . Let the Birmingham friends see to the appointment of such Committee . Of course they will communicate their arrangements through next Star . '¦ COJIMX !

      THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION TO MESSBS . DCNCOMBE , O'CONSOB , FlElDEN , CBAWPOKD , and Leader . —We have a letter from Mr . O Conner , authorizing us to slate , in answer to an invitation from the Chartists ] of Birmingham , that be will have much pleasure in meeting his friends at the tea patty on the 5 th . j J . R . KiDDEEMiNSTER . -pHis first communication was received , and used before the second one came to hand . We did not refase it , when we saw that it referred

      to the condition of the suffering workers . His mode of addressing it , however , was wrong . There are many Mr . Habson's in Leeds . There ate two in Briggate alone . This very communication went , in the first instance , to Mr . Hobson , of the Leeds Times Office . Addressed as it ; was , it was rightly delivered . Mr . Hobson , ol . the Northern Star , does not reside in Briggate , but in Market ^ street . All communications for the Northern Star ought te bs addressed " Mr . Jos . Hobson , Northern Ster Office , 5 , Market-street , Leeds . "

      MR . Linton and the Cosference—Glad are we to perceive that the East and North Riding Chartists have nominated Mr . Linton as their delegate to Conference . We sincerely ] hope they will send him . This is the first time we have ventured or desired to interfere in any election : but they must permit us to turn canvassers for once : and solicit " the favour of their vote and interest . " Mr LiNToNS experimental and practical knowledge will be invaluable on the dlecuBsion of the JLand question , which will most assuredly come upon the carpet ; and however it may be decided , it will be of importance to adduce all the information possible to guide to such decision . Information of the most valuable kind can Mr . LINTON render : therefore his presence at the

      Conference is most desirable . He is , besides , as good and as hearty a Chartist as breathes . We trust , therefore , that the Chartists of the North and East Ridings of York will send him . In the letter which we bate given from Mr . Lintoa in another place , he also says : — "The Land must be combined with the agitation for the Charter . I am convinced it will , if properly carried ont , very soon give every man bis political rights- ! Probably I may attend the proposed Conference at Birmingham . If I cannot make it convenient tojdo so , I will endeavetiT to atato my views to you on the subject in a letter . This will be a mighty Movement , if arranged with judgment ; and I sincerely hope we shall have no more falsa steps—no more imprisonments—no more transportations . May Gfod protect you in the

      righteous cause you are engaged in . " Mr . Linton must " make ifc convenient to attend "; and the Chartists of the North and East Yorkshire must send him . MB . Hili / s Scheme of ] okganization . —When the long article ou Organization which appears" in another part of this sheet was Wade up for press , we received from Mr . Hill hia promised plan for organizing the public mind . As we anticipated , in the main we agree / Indeed the body and sfeevet of the garment are identical . We have both been at the aamo veil ; both drunk from the same spring . We have both tried to compass the same ends ; and we have both gone to work in tbo same manner . The only difference between the two piana is , that in some of the detailed duties of tho several divisions of the Grand Army , M r . Hill is more precise and more defined even than we are . Some of hia rules are amendments of

      our own . Enough is however given in the article before-mentioned to show the general scope and beaiinK of the question -. at the Conference Mr . Hill's details can be j considered along with our plan . Indeed we shall ] contrive , before its assembling , to weave those of them we deem improvements into the plan , so that it may be presented to Conference as perfect as it can be made by ourselves and Mr . Hill . j Way to Welcome a Vjictim . —All honour to the DewBbury " lads" ! They have set a praiseworthy example . They have not contented themselves with shouts , and clapping of hands , and blowing of horns , and beating of drums , as a welcome to their lately

      liberated victim : but they have let their friendship and tespect manifest itself in deeds of reality that will fee found another day . They have clothed their victim with their | good opinion ! Now , shew , and noise , and clapping ] of hands , and meeting by thousands , are all good in their way . In such a case as that which lately called them forth at Dewsbury , they are an expression of good-will and respect to worth and ] integrity ; and calculated to have a good impression upon the public mind . But when they are followed by deeds of plain palpable good , those deeds give a ! force , and being , and value to that . expression that make it lasting and endurable .

"—The weavers in the employ of the •' *¦ Morning Star , " alias Top Stuart , have struck work , owing to hia paying as much as twopence per cut under the regular town ' s price .

      Wav to do Work . —Borough Court , Monday , At / ausT 21 . —Before Jonathan Thornhill and Wm . Nelstrop , Esqrs . —Case of Wages . —Thomas ' - ' Stoart ; , manufacturer , appeared , by proxy , to sherr cause why he refused to pay the sum of 4 a . 6 d . yrpges alleged to be due by him , to Edward Shelmerdfne , powerloom-weaver . It appeared , from the statement of the complainant , that the whole "< jf the weavers in the employ of Stuart , with the exception of a few "black sheep , " had given notice to leave their work , in consequence of bis paying considerably under the " town ' s price . " This so enraged ijutiotd of smoke , that all ( but biting his finger "" nails off ) , was done to shew how much his mightiness was exasperated at the n -b— - —y thieves , " -who -had

      dared to say they would no longer enrioh'big . coffera at the expence of their hungry children and famishing wives . On Wednesday last , the man of cotton had an . opportunity of spitting his venom on Shelmerdine , wbom he suspected of being one of the rebel chiefs . On Wednesday , then , it appeared * , the complainant took four " cuts" into the ware * bouse to be examined . Stuart was present ; and op looking over the work , found fault with it for being too heavy , arid remarked " such work as thafe would not do . " This called forth a reply from complainant , to which Stuart demurred . An altercation ensued , which ended in tho master telling the complainant "he should weave there nO more , after he had furnished the pieces which were then

      ia his looms . " Accordingly on Tbnrsday , as soon as the " cuts" were finished , the overlooker , at the instigation of the master , seized the shuttle and would not allow him to weave any more , notwithstanding that there were printed rules hung up through the mill , stating that no weaver could leave work without giving and having one week ' s notice ,. except in cases of mutual consent ; and as Shelmcrdine ' s week would not expire until tke following ( Friday ) evening , he determined to claim the wajfesfor the remainder of Thursday and Friday , as the separation was not mutual . Three witnesses were called on the part of Stuart , who merely proved that a di 3 Dute had

      taken place . One of them , tho son of Stuart , swore to the complainant calling his father " a liar . * Another of the witnesses , M'Mahon , an overlooker , proved that the complainant waa a good workman , and had never before been fonnd fault with . Tha Magistrates decided , that though the calling of Stuart " a liar" was very wrong , nevertheless that did not justify him in sending the man about his business , without paying him hia full wage 3 . Tha decision was , that * 'he must pay the sum claimed . " This gave universal satisfaction . It Wis no more than was expected from Mr . Nelstrop , who is justly esteemed as an impartial Magistrate .

      BRADFORD . —On Sunday afternoon , a camp meeting was holden at Zdie , near Bradford . Mr . Joseph Alderson addressed the meeting at considerable length on the present state of the country , and the : position of the Church of England ; and strongly exhorted his hearers to take care and not be entrapped again as they were last year . Mr . Alderson said his term of bond to keep the peace had just expired . He was charged with attending a meeting on the 14 th of August , 1842 , at Bradford Moor ; and although be produced most respectable- witnesses tbat he was several miles from the meeting during the whole of that day , yet he was bound to keep tha peace for twelve months , after spending three days in a dungeon .

I thank you for the measures you have adopted for enabling me to uivo effect to the several treaties which ' t hayeeonchxded with Foreign Powers . \ I have given my cordial assent to the Bill , which you presented to me for increasing the meanis of spiritual instruction in popnlous parishes , by slaking a portion of the revenues of the Church available for the endowment of additional ministers .

      I confidently trust that the wise and henevolent intentions of the Legislature will be aided by tho zial and liberality of my subjects , and that better provision will thus be made for public worship and for pastoral supermtendendence in many districts of the country . I view with satisfaction the passing of the Act for removing doubts respecting the jurisdiction of the Church of Scotland in the admission of Ministers , and for securing to the people and to the Courts of the Church tbo full exercise of their respective rights . . . - It is my earnest hope that this measure will tend io restore religious peace ia Scotland , and to avert the dangers which have threatened a sacred institution of tho utmost importance to the happiness and welfare of that part of my dominions .

      I continue to receive from all foreign powers'assurances of thoirfriendly disposition , and of their earnest desire for the maintenance of peace , Gentlimen of the House of Commons , ' / thank you for the readiness and liberality with which you have voted the supplies for ihe current year .

My Lobds and Gkntlemen , la some districts of Wales the public peace has been interrupted by lawless combinations and disturbances unconnected with political causes . 1 have adopted the measures which 1 deemed best calculated for the repression of outrage , and for tho detection and punishment of the offenders .

      I have at this same time directed an inquiry to be made into the circumstances which have led to insubordination and violence in a part of the country usually distinguished for good order and willing obedience to the law . I have observed with the deepest concern the persevering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and disaffection among my subjects in Ireland , and to excite them to demand a repeal of the LegiBlativ ' e Union . It has been and ever will be my earnest desiro to administer the Government of that country in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality , and tocooperate with Parliament in effecting such amendments in the existing laws as may tend to improve the social condition and to develops the natural resources of Ireland .

      From a deep conviction that the Legislative Union is cot less essential to the attainment of these objects than to the strength and stability of the empire , it is my firm determination , with your support , and under the blessing of Divine Providence to maintain inviolate that great bond of connection between the two countries . I have forborne from requiring any additional powers for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and welfare of my dominions , as well from my unwillingness to distrust the efficacy of the ordinary law , as from my reliance on the good sense and patriotism of my people , and on the solemn declarations of Parliament in suppor t of the Legislative Union . ¦«¦ «• . . »
