  Nathaniel ISojiisg , Brighton , -srishe * to ac- ; knowledge 5 a . from the Chartists of Lewes , for Dr . ] 23 \ DonalL ! Chabtism is Scotland . —The New Orgamza- ] TIO 5 A Correspondent in Pjialey , writes as j follows : — j I have jnst read with the most lively satisfaction the ; proceedings of the Conference of Chart !* 7 > sleg&tea , jso _ j far as yon have b ^ en able to give them ; and wait "with ¦ anxiety to see the full Plan of Re-organisation which j they have adopted , and - which you have promised to give i
  
  in yonr next Tiough there were no delegates present j from Scotland , J beg to express a hope that neither you 1 nor the man of the South will corjclnfie that Chartism > is dead in the " land o'caiea . " Havinif read > lr . Hill ' s letten . and also those of Mr , Haraty , I have no hesitation in giving my testimoay to the truth of the state- \ xienta -contained in them regarding the condition in j ¦ which our cause stands in Paisley , and other places both i £ ast 3 nd west of it There are few meetings being held ; j little or no organization ; no lecturing ; no contributions ; int along with the iron that has entered the soul , j has entered a deep and firmly rooted eonvieticm , that do !
  
  appliance , no proposed remedy short of the Charter , is i in any degree worth one moment ' s consideration , as ~ cal- : cnlated to remove the manifold oppressions which j jnigrale has long imposed npon the toiling mnltitude ; "Which no artifice , no showy parade , no promise from j any party or person , however respectable or lonest i soever he may be be , can ever ablactate or destroy . No j « Ours is do aeedling chance-strewed by the mountain , j In rammer to flourish , in winter to fade . j Chartism , 'believe me , is in life , and waita only the call ' to awaken from a most refreshing slumber , which will be found to have invigorated , strengthened , and given new energies to it , far surpassing what the casual or j surface observer , ignorant of our character , might sup- i pose . Of late , and even at this moment , great and im- j portaut lessons are being read to the world . Think ; joutbat the " eannyS = ot ™ cannot appreciate these , and take counsel from them ? Be asuored he has been and :
  
  is doing . In the miost of our distxesses , for the Seng period of eighteen months , and while we were repeat- edly lectured on the great advantages that would result from a total &nd immediate repeal 0 / the Corn Laws , it was utterly impossible for the league , even when the suffering in this town was at its worst , to get one lecture passed eff with its fallacies unopposed , even when it was deemed bytbat party , situated as we were , to be the teij height of inhumanity . TJsos proves something ssrrsij for onr fixedness of purpose , and our attachment to the great and glorious principles which we have espoused .
  
  Scotland , Sir , is precisely the very kind of soil on which Chartism , to the best and mest lasting advantage ,-can be made to grow . It may bourgeon more slowly than in some other and more genial . dimes ^ it may not appear so pleasant to the eye as where it is to 1 be seen deeding at every lookj but it is , permit me to say , more healthy cm that very account , and better able j to stand the blasts as tkey blow across the channel of j adversity from time to time . < Let , then , the full decision of the Conference and the j P 2 aB «/ K 3-orfainotion to which they have agree J , be ' laid before us . Xet us examine it , and digest it ; and j if it meets with onr approval—which I think it is likely ] to do from what wb know of it already—you will 2 nd that Scotland will rally to your assistance , and I j trust that her conduct in past time is so bad guarantee i for the future .
  
  P . Q ., Todmobdex—His advice to the " Lovers of Liberty in the Tale of Todmorden' * is very goed , but too lengthy for our columns . We subjoin an extract : •* A number of the people ' s delegates have met in Conference at Birmingham , and have almost unanimously adopted the Plan which appeared in the Xoriherx £ iar from the pen of the Editor , very recently . Some slight alterations and amendments have been introduced ; bnl in substance the pian adopted is thai above referred to . This Plan con-BBctsThe Land question with the Charter . This yon istracted youx celegaVea to oppose ; but a majority
  
  of liia delegates having decieed in favour of the Plan , it becomes yonr duty to assist in carrying it cut . 2 io man who cannot , without sacrifice , subscribe to the land Fund , 07 who eenscientiouEly objects to it , is compelled to do so . He may , as heretofore , subsoibe only to th ^ figperal Pncd of the Association . As a whole it isjpyBcellent Pian , and will , 1 hope , have your bearty snpport . I trust , then , that you who triinT ? the Charter is the just right of the people , will come forward And rally round tbe . New Organization , determined to give it a fair trial as the means hy which we may legally and constitutionally obtain ttot xightB , and destroy for ever corruption snd
  
  opp . - f J . B . H . —We cannot spare room for his long communication . He must excuse us . The general reader seeks not , norjikes not , long letters . Occasionally we give such : but whenever we do so , a loud outcry is the consequence . We shall have to discontinue the praeSee to a considerable degree . A Middle Class Mas , Loxdoji , must take the above answer to Mmself . Mr . Ca > 'DT—We have received a commnuJcatioc from a person at BiMen , who writes en bthalf of 3 drs . Candy , of a nature which it mncn behovts ilr . Casdy to know of and notice . If he desires it , we will pot him in possession of the alleged facts" forth : and if he does not desire this , ire fchall s * nd the communication to the proper quarter , and leave the matter to be dealt with as the parties think fitting .
  
  L . W . LOK 3 JOS , Trill see that we have no report of the meeting he describes . One was dnly forwarded , bui not inserted . This non-insertion iras in accordance with a determination on the part of the present conductor of "the Star not to give publicity ro accounts of local or personal squabbles or q ^ arrelliags . This determination -be means to abide by ; and has no doubt but that % perseverance in it will be fonud most beneficial to the Chartist cause . If any diff ;; --ecce should spring up in aBy locality , it must be settled by the locality itsril At all events the Star shall not interfere in it- Its doing so tends to -wiaeu and extend the breach , by filling every body ' s m « uth , and setting the whole country to canvass a maittr , and probably to quarrel » ver it , when it en ) y belongs
  
  to the locality itself ; and who , were no notice tai = n of them , wonliS soon make it up and be friends , or " agree to difikf ' Bobeb . 1 Hahiltos . —We know of no way by wbici he voild obtain the justice he seeks , namely , that of LeiBg 3 llDWfcd to cultivate his own garden , or at any rate ^ he garden for which be psys rent , but by knocking down the house or smithy" built on it by his landlord- Whether B .

  TBOS , Winter , Leicesteb .. —We . are not aware of any ^ mmunication that has been unattended to . If an ? such have been sent , and withheld because tleomed unimportaut , most assuredly it would aot be menVioned in the " Notica to Correspondents . " Were we to notice all that we receive and reject , we should sometimes almost fill the paper with notices . This , we fancy , would not beveTy well relished . Mesthtb Ttdtjl CHAfiTJSTS—We have no knowledge of the letters of " Gwarchen , " unless tbey are some letters by Mr . Thos . Price , of Porth-y-glo . If tbey are the letters we have named , we certainly cannot afford them space-, for , independent of the consideration that they are on a subject not generally interesting to the masses , a great portion of them ara in the Welsh language—a language which
  
  we certainly have no idea of ; and therefore , have no means of knowing whether the writer la not indulging in the" rankest of sedition and treason at our expence . This alone would prevent our inserting them . 'Baxiltos Grai need be under no fear . It does not necessarily follow that because we have been unable or may be unwilling to find room for his eommnnicatieD , that therefore " with the change of E-iitor there I is to be a change of principle . " No one in the I Northern Star has laboured more than the present conductor of it , to expose the fallacies , and demonstrate the unsoundness , of what are called Free Trade principles . It is net , therefore , likely that we shall note advise a yielding to the League . " Out " squeamish
  
  sensibility" about the manner in which "Hamilton Gray" presents Mr . Swing , may surprise him ; but we fancy that were he in the position of some people , made to bear a prosecution for " seditious libel , " with that piosecution followed by sixteen months ! solitary confinement in a felon's cell , he would be surprised still more . It is all very well for such men as " Hamilton Gray" to write ' sternly , ' in an assumed name , an J get other people to run the risk of publication ; aad it is better still , when those " other people" hesitate to be eo used by men who say " these ara no times for indolent fear" ( and yet write under assumed names ) for theBe same men iwith assumed names ) to pretend that a " change of principle" is involved in such hesitation . " Hamilton Gray" says he does not
  
  like" This cutting ont , and cutting in ; Tht » e fears to lose ; these hopes to win ; Shuffling , and sorting , and coDcealing , With double games , and much misdealing . " By all means then let him write in his own name , and run his own riakB ! Moses Simpsos axd Fbiesds , Staffordshire . — We would recemmend that Mr . Thomas Starkey lay his case before the Victim Fund Committee , which wai eo doubt be appointed in Manchester , in accordance with the recommendation of the Conference at Birmingham . They can consider
  
  it ; and would probably deem it one calling for same little aid . The Defence Fund is foT another object . It is for the defence of those yet in the toils of the law . From the communication of Mr . Roberts to the Conference , it setmi that there will be little enough in hand for that purpose ; and , if the whole case should have to come before the fifteen Judges , there will be far too littla Belief from that source , therefore , cannot be had ; but if Mr . Starkey applies to the Committee we point him to , there is a chance that somrthing may be done for him out of the slender means at their disposal .
  
  Caivikcs Mi > or can have any of the plates at the charge of one shilling each ; they can be forwarded at the proper time throngh the channel be speaks of . We regret to hear that there is no association in Ayr . We recommend him to get together some of the active spirits of Chartism immediately , and make arrangements for forming a branch of the Organization , as soon as the plan given in another part of the paper is duly enrolled . Thomas Frost , —We have perused his letter with deep interest , and regret that so sensible and wellwritten an address cannot appear in our columns ; our only reason for declining its insertion is " want of room t" if T _ F . tronlrt htmo his stntimenta before of room ; " if T . F . would bring hiB sentiments before
  
  the public , he must compress them into smaller couiptsa . H- Crouch . —Both notices are right : a shilling is charged for the plate , and fonrpence for the postage . Sixteen post-stamps will ensure the sending o ! the plate per post , pre-paid . Ma > CHESTES TOt 56 3 IEVS ASSOCIATION . —We have no room for their address in fall ; here is the pitfe : —•• Brothers , you will have shortly an opportonity of showing your desire for freedom . The men of Manchester intend having a grand demonstration in the month of October , in honour of T . S . Buncombe , Eso , M . P . We trust th » t , on that day ,
  
  the young men ef the surrounding diBtncts will attend in their countless thousands to welcome the man who has so nobly battled for tbe rights of the oppressed millions . We request the young men of Lancashire to send delegates to the meeting , to be held in the Brown-street room , on the 27 th of the present month , so that proper arrangements may be made to make the demonstration worthy of Lancashire , and worthy of cur glorious cause ? B . Bboox , Todmorben , will please to look at the Horthem Star for September 2 nd , 1843 , and in the fourth column of the third page he will find the announcement he speaks of . That announcement went through all the editions of the paper for that week ;
  
  and we are surprised that it can have escaped R . Brook's observation . The insertion of that announcement shews that " we do consider what comes from Tofimorden to be worthy ef space in the Star ; ° and we will tell Mr . Brook " what to do , ' before be s $ aiii condemns : just examine , and be sura . J . C —We feai the " oppressors" would take but small notice of bis • warning . " Many warnings have been given them ; and in language too , not quite so soft as his : yet they have not taken heed . J . C . may depend on It that if the present living recipients of oppression's blows cam-ot make the oppressor " stand agasi with fear , " the " shades of the departed" will have but little chanoi .

On Snndsy last , npon my airival , 1 found upwards of thirty of my good friends , who had travelled from Ksighley in order to speni the da ; in tbe cause of democracy . This is as it should be ; it proves that we are interested in each others wf ifare , and not above rtiowiHg it . On Monday 1 delivered two lectures , and ( as the BtiCfcrs have i ; , ) drew crewded honses on feoth occa-Eif . rjg . Last niijbt I dwelt upon the new Pian of Orgairzs .: ioa , and 1 never found a better feeling pervade a njf-ti-g at any previous time .
  
  I think it would very much tend to the advancement of « -nr principle * , if jou would print the New Plan in a cnxulur , or pamphlet form , many thousands "would tbn « obJain it , who are now , alas I too poor to purchase : . 5 i jr . and it is important that the world should be apprised of onr fntnrts intentions , for not a few of cur eDfnj : . » -s wiii be atto . itheti vhtn they find , despite our trtusonab'e p . opensiiies that we have at last wrtsted fr-m W-.

  By r . refrrenw to tbe Plan itself , it will be seen th 3 t Chapter Xi Y . provides that tbe laws and rules shall te pnWithed in a separate form , so that each member t > f tfce society may have a copy .

  TO THE PEOPLE .
  
  Mr Dear Friends , —In my short letter to you from Glasgow , I mentioned some things in which it was my purpose thereafter to speak with you more at large . I told you that I had then lying by mo an article from . the Times newspaper , which afforded arguments for the Organization of the people more cogent and conclusive than perhaps any that I have yet seen submitted to you from any quarter . Here it is . It is taKen from the leading columns of the
  
  Times newspaper of the 4 th of August . Its immediate point of reference is to the " . Rebecca" movement in Wales ; while its reasoning shews that the enemy fear nothing so muck as the cool prudence , the intelligent inquiry , and peaceful , quiet , " systematized , " organized onward movement of the publio mind . Just in proportion to the amount of bluster and noise , and violence , and physical destruotiveness which they evince , are the " agitators" of the public voted harmless—( and often indeed useful)—by the factions . But how ! let the Times speak : —
  
  " One remarkable and very consolatory feature in the Welsh movement hitherto , has been the entire absence of political character in its professed efforts and aims . Much a 3 any series of disturbance and violations of law is to be blamed and regretted , mere disturbance—mere matter-of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not what excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman . It is when that disorder begins to reason and systematisewhen it appeals to broad principles and deep foundations , that it becomes really ominous and formidable in the politician's eye . Discontent then becomes disaffection , and disorder revolution . The Welsh rioters have kept dear of these dangerous assumptions , and confined themselves to particular definite grievances ; and therefore it is , we presume , that they
  
  have obtained no patronage from the Liberals in this country . Had Ihey rapoared about the origin of society ,: the rights of man , and the social compact , instead of attacking toll-gates , the Rebecoaites wonld doubtless have obtained the applauding sympathies of Mr . Hume and Mr . T . Duneombe . As it is , these and other worthies of the Liberal school seem , by their silence , to have vjted the Rebecca movement a ' slow' affair , undeserving their attention ; and the mouth that would have been wide open , declaiming against the oppression of country squires and magisterial autocrats , had no tangible or accessible grievances been shewn , are shut when a real case i 3 made out and proved , as wo conceive it is now , by tho poor and dependant , against the rich and ruling class .
  
  " We sincerely hope the Welch poor will continue unconnected , as they now are , with the Radical theories , and vnlgar politics of the day . So long as they are clear of suoh connection , they will have the sympathies of all respectable people with them , so far as regards their intelligible rightful claims . Mourn as we must over the downfall of eo much timberwork as has taken place within the last week or two , and little as we like the ironioal female habit , and tbe Jewish nomenclature of these certainly not very feminine or delicate movers , we had rather see . them acting their grim farce than talking Chartism . We prefer Miss Rsbecca to Miss Mary Ann Walker . Do not philosophize , do not speechify , do not prate , we would tell them , but stick to your
  
  'oils and market dues . Do not mount upon suits , do not be carried away by demagogues , do not make your cause , which is at present a most clear , intelligible , matter of fact one , a seditious theory , Uairbrained sentilmentalism . At the same time , we would beg to remind the Magistrates of Carmarthenshire , the turnpike trustees , the learned Government Commissioner ( Mr . Hal )) , or whomever else it may concern , that these grotesque exhibitions will certainly end in something further , if redress is not actively and conscientiously looked to . Rebecoa will doff her bonnet for the cap of liberty , and take to more offensive weapons than the mallet or crowbar , if something is not soon done . We are happy to see that Borne ef the trustees of turnpikes are already beginning the work of clearance , are opening
  
  the roads , and facilitating access to the market towns . These and the like remedies are politic , and absolutely necessary . If they are applied immediately , they may save a population from becoming the victims of revolutionary oratory . Wait , procrastinate a little , and you will have embassies from the Political Unions , the Reform Associations , and the Operative Club , deputies from Manchester and Birmingham , nay , and Repealers from Ireland , Yankees , Frenchmen—the whole kit of them offering their pohte service to Rebecca , congratulating her on her bold achievements , and gently initiating her into all the mysteries and tretmasonry of the Radical cause . Tne Welsh people are not so far gono as yet , we believe , but that zeal , tact , and good feeling combined may bring them round again . But if nothing is done , people are driven into Chartism . "
  
  Here you have the whole matter "put" very honestly , and very simply . Outrage * disturbance , and disorder ; destruction of property , " mere matter ' of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not what excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman . '" No , no . There is aiwayB enough of force—organized force—at the command of "the Statesman" to enable him to deal with " mere matter-of fact disturbance . " It is when the " poor population" begins to inquire into tho w'ly ! the how ? and the wherefore ?—when it " reasons "when it " appeals to broad principles , and deep foundations" —and most especially , when , after the reasoning and the appealing to broad principles and deep foundations , has begotten clear conceptions of
  
  effects and causes , it begins to " systematise , " that ita operations " become really ommouB and formidable ia the politician's eye . " " Disco 7 iteni then becomes disaffection , and disorder revolution" ! Yes ; yes ; Mother Times ! We know all about it . And , thank God , tho people are beginning to know all about it . They are beginning to understand and practice the lebson 1 have been dinging into them this dozen of years past—that their power isin their intelligence which enables them to " reason , " " appeal to broad principles and deep foundations " , and to " systematize " , to arrange , and bring into a focu 9 , their moral energies . A peaceful appeal to
  
  principle ; a consistent exhibition of principle ; a steady perseverance in priuciple , whenever exhibited , always u excites tho alarm aud apprehension" of the statesmen who live by publio plunder , and whose interests are bound up with those of the robber classes . While the people can be kept in that state which limits their exertions for the removal of oppression to " mere matter-of-fact disturbance "to mer « destruction of property and physical violence , they may' ^ Jje always used as tools in tho hands of the middle classes to work out their purposes , and laid by , or destroyed , as soon as those purposes are served .
  
  The " higher" ; classes are always as ready to beat down the middle clashes as the middle men are to trample on the labourers . The landlords are aiways willing 10 extract as much rent—the parsons 10 exact as much tiiho and eh arch-rate , and the jobbers of aU sons lay on every kind of impost wnicn can and will be borne as heavily , as they each can . These in their direst influence fall upon the noddle classes ; though the poor labourers pay for all in the long run ; because , though having neither cans , horses , beasts of burden , nor lauds , they are
  
  not iiubld to pay tolls , tithes , nor church ratos , and no ' , much amount of rent , yet their libour it i-=, out of which all these very payments are made by the middle men , and without which they would not be made at all . The payment of these several imposts is first made a pretexc for bringing down their : wa >; es to starvation-point ; and then , when this has been accomplished , the middlemen begin to consider how they bhall set rid ot the pnj meius and pocket the money . This ia just tho wtiole matter now at issue in the " Rebecca
  
  movemeut , " as the riots in Wales are termed . I have lon > 4 since , in the Northern Star , warned you that this was a arid die-clats movement for the eli ' -ctintf ot the purposes and , the serving of the inrere .-to of those classes by the exertions and at the sole cost of ibe working men who may be tools enough to aid iu it . 1 told you that the labour of pulliug down the toll bare , the harrassment of these nocturnal excursions , the risk of being thot by the military on the spot , and tho reward of being imprisoned , tran * pyrud , or hanged , wben their work was done , was all thai the working men would be allowed to gel from this " movfement "—while the middle men would
  
  get rid cf many of the impoEts they complain or , not only without mending rtie condition of the labourers one bit , but that tbey would be the first to transport aqd hang them out of ihe way . 1 see nothing yet > but confirmations of this view of it . 1 have read carefully the article " Rebecca Movement" in last week ' s Star ; 1 have noted especially all that is said by " Our o *» n Correspondent . " I find it all of the » ame ca « ; tolls , tithes , and rerus are tke burden of the song . Something is said about " fixky ol tenure * ' for the farmere , but nothing about land for the labourers . A great defe . 1 is taid about the crying evil of high reals , aad heavy tithes and tojda . but not z . w » rd of any purpose to xf ply a single ntrfbing of iba mobey wjuoh Bxunr g » es for liics * ' purposes jo tko inerwLse of wages- There i * aemeihicg ) to Be

  does not tell us which of tho two Btrings Rsbecca trims hftr bow with . He does not tell us whether it do the ill treatment of the poor , under this hellish system , or the increased expenditure and heavier rates which it occasions , that is the chief ground of complaint by the midnight orators to whose secret meetings he was admitted . I strongly suspect that the latter is the real grievance . The whole struggle is one for the division of the plunder . The Welsh farmers think that they have not large share
  
  so a of it as they ought to have . The corrupt press , therefore , of which the Times is 1 ?[' r 3 „ * the whole P » llfl £ o 'a still * to remain in the family , " finds it easy and convenient to counsel that the distribution should bo made somewhat fair ; that the " rogues" bhould cease to " fail ont , " lest the honest step in for their own , and the people be " driven into Chartism . " The limes knows perfectly that if once the people be drives into Chartism , " thoy will sooa make the discovery that it is a matter of
  
  no consequence a » all-to them whether the farmers pay much or little of rent , and tithe , and rates , and toils . They will then look to higher sources of universal mischief , and to the appropriation of the rents , taxes , rates , tithes , and tolls so paid and levied . Hence the politic fear of the rimes that the people should " begin to reason , " and to " appeal to broad principles and deep foundations . " The Times knows perfectly that whenever the people do this , generally , the "foundations" of class rule , and class robbery consequent on class rule , must speedily give way . Hence his fear of the " embassies from Political Unions , Reform Associations , and Operative Clubs , " and of the deputies from Birmingham and Manchester . " Philosophizing , " " reasoning , " systematizing . " " appealing to broad principles aud deep foundations , " talking of "the rights of man , andthe "social compact , " plays the very deuce with factions
  
  . It " puts the oat among 3 t the pigeons" with a vengeance t And hence the difference in . " toae assumed by tho Times , and other newspapers in reference to the riots , arsons , and destructions of property in Wales , and the peaceful movement of the Chartists , who were induoed to join the , strike movement last year . They " appealed to broad principles and deep foundations" — they appealed to common sense , to tho rights of man , " and to the " sooial compact" ; they destroyed no property , but they said " these are' broad principles' of general right which we wish to see established for the protection of our own property . We do not see these broad principles recognised or acted on , and , therefore we aro discontented * and canuot but feel disaffected' to the system which robs us of the proceeds of our labour . " This ' was " Revolution "; and the" authorities" wore loudly called ou to aot instantly and effectively with "* vigour beyond ihe law" I
  
  Of course , the people will learn from all this , the lesson that there can be nothing but mischief to themselves come of their giving their aid and countenance to any schemes for mere" matter -of- factdisturbanqe" of to any reforms whiolv do not" appeal to broad principles and deep foundations . " As they have always hitherto had , so they always will hereafter have , merely the hangings , transporting , and imprisonings for their share of the benefits reulting from Such revolutions . But 1 trust that they will also have a deeper lesbon than this from it . It scarcely needed this excellent article from the Times to teaoh them this lesson now . I trust they wiljl see from this fair statement of the character of the "Rebecca" movement and of the Times' reasons for sympathising with the Riibeccaites , the
  
  necessity for that Organization which , though its importance is self-evident , they have never yet had . How pitedus it is to see poor men—honest menworking men—fooled by the middle classes into these " mere matter-of-faot disturbances " , for want of that knowledge of their own right , of" the rights of man" , and of " the social compact" which might enable them to " appeal to broad principles and deep foundations" ! They aannot have that knowledge , save from " the embassies " , " the deputies" from Birmingham and fr « tn other places ; aad they cannot have these , becaase no efficient organization exists by which missionary enterprizs can be called into active and exteasivo requisition . Was I not right , then , in saying that this article afforded most powerful arguments for a National Organization of the w , hole people for these objects ?
  
  I have rtad carefully the report in the last Star of the doings of the delegates at Birmingham . I wait anxiously the appearance of their plan . And , in reference to that plan , let me , before it comes , say one word to all those who attach valuo to my thoughts and counsels . It is scarcely probable that it will meet every one ' s approbation . There may likely enough be some things in it which some may think had been better otherwise ; but if it have but two great qualities which are indiapensible ; if it be perfectly legal ; and if it be at all workable , —for Heavens sake let us have no bickerings about trifles ; but let it be at once adopted and let it be brought into vigorous and universal play . Let no man who names the name of Chartism dare to makfi
  
  his own crotchets a stumbling block in the way of our onward progress ; and if any man do so , out of the ship with Uim as a pieoe of vermin ; overboard with him at once , before he have time to do mischief . There can be but one opinion upon the necessity of our having some Plan of Organization possessing the two requisites I have named— -locality and workableness—all others are minor considerations , and none but an enemy would seek to divide us upon them . Any minor imperfection ms . y be either guarded against in the working of it ot remedied hereafter ; but now i ' 8 uot the time to sdokfe on them . Legal it must bo ; readily workable it must ba ; bevond this ,
  
  while every man has a clear right to commeut on it —te shew what he thinks to be its defects , if any , and where he thinks it capable : of improvement , no man who wishes well to the movement has any right to offer one jot of obstruction to its adoption or operation because of the objections he may havo to particular pori ions of it . He who does so , whatever he may pretend to be , or whatever he may think him-Belf , 1 think to be no true Chartist . I am , as ever , Your faithful friend and servant , 1 William Hill . Hull , Wednesday , Sept . 13 , 18 ^ 3 .
  
  P . S . I learn from several private letters , that my friends in the Newcastle district are much disappointed at my not visiting them on my roturn from Scotland as first arranged . I regret , but could not help the disappointment . When my arrangements for my late tour were made I had no conception of the " change" which was to como over my own position and affairs ; this change brought into operation circumstances wich compelled me to get back to Hull a week or two sooner than I purposed . I trust this will satisfy my friends that I did not " pass by" them from any want of courteous feeling . They do not know the difficulties of my position just
  
  now . I must remain here for a short time , lam making arrangements which will enabie me to go through the whole country , if required , after that time . Nowcastlo , Shields , bunderland , and Carlisle , and all that district shall have my first attention when I move . I shall tafco them on my way back to Scotland again . I will cake care to give notice of my coming ; and when I return again from Scotland , I shall be at liberty to attend to . any invitation I may have received to any part of England .

  10 THE EDITOR Of ' tHE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In the Northern . Star of last week , there is an aniele headed Complete Suffrage Lie , containing an attack on some observations of mine , made at the late Leicester meeting , which requires some explanation from me . I found that reports injurious to Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Sturge ' s Committee , were in circulation , to the effect that the former was en ^ agrd by the latter , and that £ 28 was paid for O ' oonaor ' o services at the Nottingham election . Although I bad given a public contradiction to this , the publif press which inserted the calumny , did not insert the denial with one or two exceptions ; and I heard the matter named in its most offensive form oa the day of the meeting . I took that occasion to repeat what I had previously stated in my
  
  public letter—the whole of which was perfectly true , aud quite in accordance with what was published by me imm ? diately after the election , in the British Statesman—That Mr . O'Connor ' s services were perfectly [ voluntary , and was given with a distinct delaralioh on his part that he would not receive any reward for his services—not even repayment of his travelling expences . That Mr . O'Connor ' s services were recognised by tho committee , and appointments made by thorn , and correspondence ^ entered into with him , has nothing at all to do with the fact I stated ; winch referred to O'Connor's first offer of assistance , which was uninvited and unexpected : for from the manner in which he he had spoke of Mr . Sturgo and his movement , it could not have been expected that he would have come forward at the election . I
  
  have always said that this conduct on his part was honourable , and 1 can prove that his first speech in Nottingham fully bears out all 1 have ever said on this subject . ¦ As to the j £ 27 10 s . paid by Mr . O'Connor to some of . ' *¦ his brigade , " ( to use his own expression . ) I never named it until waited upon by O'Connor ' s friends , in order to disprove the calumny of the Times . I felt it my duty to do this when invited by them to do so , and did not think it oat of place when I found it current in Leicester . I did not speak of it as involving the slightest disparagement to any party . 1
  
  Mr . Feargus O'Connpr has taken tha liberty of speaking of mo as tbe paid Secretary of the committee . There is no term sufficiently strong , even in Mr . O'Connor ' s elegant vocabulary , to designate this enormous falsehood . It is unfortunately characteristic of its author . ! I never received eveu the value of one shilling , either directly or indirectly , for any services in that election—in fact . never rectuv <) ti any reward fer any publio service . It is well known to many that I have injured my pros pects ia life , and my business by the part ; 1 took ; but have never had any reward , either by money or interest ; and I have no hesitation in stating my conviction , that O'Connor knew this to be ialbe when ho stated it . As I do not think it necessary
  
  to imitate hu example ; , by going into a court of law , to vindicate myself from charges like those , I merely call upon him to substantiate or retract it . One he cannot do ; : and ho has not the magnanimity to do the other . Therefore , I can only pity the man , whose reckless temper and fierce passion will not allow him to view his fadiDg influence amongst the people with better feelings than that of tho bitterest animosity against all who may differ from him in opinion . In any allusion to the events of that election , I have had no other wish than to do : the fullest justice to all parties concerned . Your ' s , very respectfully , ¦ Thomas Beggs . Worcester , Sept . 13 , 1843 .
  
  [ We hare * with all readiness , given insertion to this explanation ; though had we imitated the example set us by the organs of Mr . Beggs's party , we should just have contented ourselves with misrepreseniing him , and then have left him to make his best of it . Ha himself says , that " the publio press which in sorted the calumny , " -4 that which gave rise to all that has been since said ; and done — " did not insert the denial . " Let us atk Mr . Beggs . did even the " Sturgeite'' papers do this ? Did the Nonconformist ? Did the Leeds Times , the Bradford Observer , the Leicester Chronicle , or ; any other of Mr . Beggi's mou ' . h-piects ! Now had wo meted out the justice to Mr . Beggs that his [ friends have meted out to us , we should not have inserted his contradiction to what now appears to havo been an unfounded
  
  allegation . Not long ago i ) sB Nonconformist came out with a most cold-blooded rascally attack on the character of Mr . O'Connor ; an attack more attrocious and saintly than any that ever disgraced any portion of the English press ; and that ia saying a great deal . To that attack we gave such an effective and conclusive answer , that tho Noncon formisl , who had promised to return to the onslaught , has been silent ever since , as far as his own lulminacion 3 have beeu concerned . But did he insert the answer ! Nut he indeed !! And while the attack was duly chronicled in every Complete Suffrage Whiffler throughout the Jaud , not one of them had ihe fairness to give currency to the answer , or even to note the fact that we } had driven the antagonist from the field . Such i ^ the sense of justice that actuates Mr . Beees's friends .
  
  Mr . Begga saye , " he does not think it necossary to go into a court of law to vindicate himself from such charges , " &c . He has no need . Justice is afforded him without . 1 He has asked us to afford him the opportunity to explain that a representation that he had beta pttidf tor his electioneering services , inserted in oar olumna , was unfounded . We have given it to him . Would hi .- * own friends have done so , had ho been a Chartist \ Did they do so in the case of Mr . 1 O'Connor , when they had charged him with theft and fraud ? Mr . Begga has himself shewn that they did not ,
  
  and would not . It | was therefore necessary , in that case , to " go . 'into a court" ; for when tho verdict was given that their lies were libellous , then they did insert the contradiction , but not before . They did to compulsion , for fear of consequences , what they could not aff < kd to do to love ot justice . We , on the contrary , cau afford to allow Mr . B ? gg 9 to state his own case j nay even to advertise his sacrifices and his owir self-devotion ; and , withal , to have a fling at Mr . O'Connor ' s " fading influence . " Therefore he may well jsay M he does not think it necessary to eo into a court to vindicate bim « elf . "
  
  We have thought it proper to mark tha difference of conduct pursued by Mr . Beggs ' s justice- loving , quiet , cool , philosophic friends towards the Chartists , with that pursued by us , of " reckless temper and fierce passion , " in the ( not very strong ) hope that the contrast may thame them into a bet : or behaviour for tho future . ] Into tho general question , as to the propriety of Mr . Beggs ' a conduct , aud that of his associate ^ at the Nottingham election , wo hare not entered . We shall leave that for Mr . O'Connor himself . —Ed . N . S ] \
