      JIt dsab Fbeisds , —fto circumstance connected uitJi lie existence of Chartism has caused greater eonsterni tionlo the enemy than oar recent spring after the crash of 1842 . Even the 7 ira « newspaper , that panders io the / worst passions of the Worst secSons of the middling classes , considers it necessary , to pnblish the spleen of the Leeds Tones second bMid , having exhausted all its own vocafojkrj of abuse . Too , however , will understand , fli » i in proportionas we are reviled , we are dreaded : ^ saded i > j the upholders of oppression of one class j-d the other , and of all of whose abuses the

      J 0 H&B Times , ana its namesake of Leeds , are cont ent supporters . So long as the active agitation ja Ireland furnished matter for daily comment , the j ^ Buft Journal passed Chartism over without jurtber notice than it condescended to take of your fcaable servant . Indeed , during the period of Irish ig iution , it "was not wonderful that even , apart ^ a Government interference , Chartism should fold jjg tired arniB , and _ look with surprise at the upjisEg s pirit of a nation , whose language for iieroejtesS ) resolution , and boldness , far outstripped that of the Chirtist body , even ia its days of unopposed en ataBent . " ¦ ; ty

      ^ 5 u s pelitical jiOTelwas ihemore startling , from gje fact , that from no section of society , or comoijtben of authorised faction , had the English Charjgis met with . greater opposition and hostility , than fcom their Irish brethren . "This bad feeling needed , j > S the encpuragement of ther 7 « n « newspaper ; beapse , for years , it had been freifaDy fostered by the jish leaders arid their press . The illegality of onr OrgasizitioTi was loudly proclaimed from the Irish jribnne ; and a striking comparison was drawn Jetween fte manner in which the English C £ artists sd& Irish Repealers conducted their agitation . It is i . mo 3 t striking fact , however , that circumstances ) ear us out in claiming superiority for our own jrsiem ; and why- ? JJecanse Mr . OT-onnell and the

      Bepea'ers actually set forth in Ireland the very jpevaaces of which the "RnglfeTi people complain , and j » redress which they daim their Charter as the only jfiwent means . "Xon will see , therefore , that all complaints of fcih conntrles hia ^ s upon bad and imperfect repreijBitafion , and . thai Mr . O'Connell is at length impelled to hold out the inducement of a vasfiyj ^ tended representation , as the only means of real-I jjng the hopes of those for whose rights he contends . ! Js nojart of my business here to inquire whether ! g not Ml O'Conaell will be capable of followiog op § s agitation to the close in the peaceful manner in jfcich he evidently designs . In the numerous leading ardeles that I have writ-^ bpod tie sobject of the Repeal of the Union in \ $ e Northern Star , I baye given it as-iny opinion , ! fax Ireland will require , i \ r \ A -will have , some !

      gsifiee for its gigantic exeriionB on behalf of the ] Bepcal of the Union . I hare stated that either I $ b ministers jnnst sacrifice the Unioa , O'Connell ¦ asnbe sacrificed to saTe the Irish priesihood ; or 1 fee priesthood must "be sacrificed to save Mr . O'Con- 1 sfl . The first of those offerings , that is , the disso-1 tlion of ihe Union , is th * righteous sacrifice fer > > e ! l nations ; whfle the sacrifice of either Mr . ] CConnell or the Irish priesthood to the dis&p- j Minted people , would not only injure the cause of ! liberty in Ireland , but would go far to destroy it i a England . Onr constant endeavour therefore , ! &BjAd be , so to prepare ourselves for the next ' sniggJe , that all that has been dose may be perma- j jauiy brought to light , And actively brought xo bear j

The magnananons battle thai one man , Mr .

In 1835 , I told the jeeple of Bndder . rfield , that my object in commencing

      cont-door agjtaoon was , to insure Ench a-represenatkm of tbo whole people , freely choBen by ihe JB-Mng classes , as wonld by their superior -wisdom tsi prcder . ee , constitute a striking contrast between ikaasd our class legislators . I told them , that Eotr house would represent industry , it should be aM ihe Ueehjtjs" j and as their acts should be joeed in comparison with those sitting in the other jesc , thty also should meet in linden . Eariy in JK 8 , 1 drew up an elaborate plan for carrying my tths into effect . A middle class mob saw the imger of an efficient a modeof carrying on our agita-Sb ; and they proposed a sacred holiday of a month , ta sore speedy means of acquiring the desired isjast . The hope entertained from such an exp ^ eri-» at , veiy naturally exungcished the more tediouB npectadon of realising oar withes by a systemized

      This plan of a sacred holiday was concocted in KmiBgfism early in 3837 , and long before the Jsrfimi Star was established .

      ereafc organic change would find Interest in the House of Commons . With all the disqualifying circumstances against which the Chartist body has to contend , great doubts may be entertained as to the possibility of procuring even the return of twenty Chartiste . I , however , contend that by a proper system of Organization we may accomplish that , and more , upon the very next general election . And , as it iB an event which is riot likely to take place before our first Convention meets , I do trust that it is a subject which will interest the consideration of that body to a Tery large amount . The first great step we must not boggle at . I mean the first step in action is a thorough system of "ixclt ; siyb D 2 JOJKG : " a Bystem , however , which

      must be legally carried ont , and which most not entail a charge of conspiring against the working classes . The law as regards exclusive dealing is this , as laid down by Baron Rolfe . and the Attorney-General at Lancaster : "The people , Jo any number ^ may combine together , for the purpose of laying out their money with whom they please : bid if they use that combination for the purpose of injuring others tiien it becomes a conspiracy and is punishable by law ; they may -deal with Tom Smith if they please , and exclusively ; hut they musi . neither interfere with , or circulate reports io ihe injury of John Wilde ; there is no laio whatever to prevent any ctess of men from dealing with whom they . please * . 1 ' Here there is another and s very striking instance of the power with which legal combination arms the working

      classes ; and here also is an instance of passing the limits of the law when such transgression rather injures than serves . If the machinery for carrying oat a general system of exdoaive dealing w »* in perfect working « tf « r , the working classes would upon the very next general election , command a majority of the city , and borough seats in the Honse of Commons ! while the very operation of dealing exclnshely with those , who are pledged to support their candidates , wonld at once lead from extensive trade , to a very great redaction in the price of food . The Government ; the Whigs , the Tories , and Free Tracers , have recourse to exclusive dealing to a most withering , nay , to a destroying extent j and why grumble at the existence of evils arising out of the system which the people themselves can at once controul !

      I once recommended , and I recommend it BtiU , that our ablest lecturers should start at once aB candidates for the best situated boroughs in their Tarions districts , and there strengthen themselves , inspiring the people with confidence , and ihe electoral body with a belief that their real interests would suffer no damage if entrusted to such representation . Moreover , the very fact of a district lectnrer being also a candidate , woaid give him a greater power of calling public meetings^—a power of which the law cannot deprive him , and with which the Secretary of State dare not interfere . It may be said that we should have a difficulty in finding even twenty candidates Hk » iy to « " = tlv- cause ol Chartism in Parliament . Let us see whether or no snch charge is correct . From my memory I will name a number in -whom I think the working classes wonld

      have a sufficient amount of confidence , and not one of whom would betray that confidence . 1 will begin with Scotland . Mr . Moir , Mr . Ross , Mr . Prondfoot , Mr . ADCOtt , Mr . Colquhoun , Mr . M ^ Pherson . In England we have Mr . Roberts , Mr . Isaac Barrow , of Bolton , Dr . M'Bonall , Mr . Titu 3 Brooke , Dewsbury , 31 r . James Holliday , Oldbam , Mr . Penny , Heekmondwike , Mr . Leach , Manchester , llr . Hobson , Leeds , Mr . Pitkethly , and Mr . W . Stocks , Huddersfield , Mr . Wm . Lovett , London , Mr . O'Higgin ? , Dublin , Mr . Licton , Selby ; and Mr . O'Gorman Mahon . Kow , there are twenty men for you , And I could mention many more twenties ; but what would I not give to see those twenty men in the House of Commons , while I was on the watch-tower outside , and they were led on by Mr . Duncombe inside ! What fair order could they give me that 1 wonld not fearlessly execute 1 and what , then , would be the position of Chartkm *

      We could also calcnlate upon the support of such men as Sharman Crawford , Fielden , General Johnson , Williams of Coventry , and several others who , when the standard was raised inside , would be glad to rally round it . The pledge which we would put to onr candidate would be this ; npon their word of honour to resign their trust-the moment they were called upon to do so by a majority of the nonelectors of the place that they represented ; and bad as the House of Commons is , no member , alter violating such a pledge , would be allowed to open his lips . The pledge that we woald require from any

      party wiih whom we coalesced would be , that every elector of that party should vote for our candidate , while as our party could be relied upou , we would reserve eur vot * s to the last to see that fair play had been had . Those who required our co-operation , should also qualify any Chartist candidate , to prepare him for his seat ; and with the machinery properly at work the Convention should appoint a Committee before whom the registration roll of every city , town , and borough , should be laid , wherein the bearing of each voter should be marked ; and then the next arrangement wonld be so to apply our forces as to insure the success of our plan .

      For instance : suppose the Whigs to try another struggle foT ascendancy , they would not wish to lose John Cam Hobbouse for Nottingham ; and upon that understanding we could make our lermsthus : take whom you please as your man , but the penalty must be , that you have our man . Snppose & refusal to follow this proposal ; we would then give the option to Mr . Walter aud his friends : to vs , it would matter not a pin which party accepted ; while if good faith was kept , we wonld guarantee to the party who coalesced with us , all the Chartist _ support in that'eounty and its remaining boroughs in aid of

      thBir party . Again , in Halifax , they could not afford to loBe Chas . Wood , but tbsy should lose him if theyrefuEedtocome to our terms . So with Leicester , where Sir John Easthope , the proprietor of the Chronicle , would gladly boJd office upon this double tenure , rather than allow the two seats to devolve upon two Tories . So with Bradford ; so with Glasgow ; bo with Northampton j so with Preston , Newcastle , Oldhsm , Bolton , Stockport , Marylebone , Tower HamletB , and scores of places where , under the system of exclusive dealing , the Chartist body wonld not only hold the balance of power , but the ascendancy , at a contested election .

      Now suppose , after a calm review of the whole snbject that the Executive and Convention were to direct their attention to the twenty most likely places , I ask yon wherein the difficulty lies , if not in the people's own apathy ! and if it lies there , do they not justly merit all ihe suffering and degradation of wbich they complain ? For the last few years I have been endeavouring to rouse you to the performance of your duty at municipal elections ; bnt strong as your expressed deEires appear to be before ihe struggle , you merge JDto corruption and

      apathy upon ttie 4 ay of battle . You feast npou the poison of your enemies for a meal or two ; and then disgorge , to the sad recollection that you have justi fled the corruptor in his worst acts of oppression . This apatiy of the working classes is mainly attributable to the apathy of their leaders , and to the want of a proper systemvof Organization . Let but the leaders shew themselves worthy of confidence , by the honourable discharge of their duties , and I will answer for the cordial co-operation of the people .

      I have this day ( Tuesday ) received the following letter from a hard-working man which I publish , as it contains the first remittance under the new Plan of Organization . The writer deserves great praise ; while I trust that Mb example will be followed by his own order ; and in the hope that out of stillness and oppression , active life and practical liberty may spring , I remain , Your faithful friend , Pkabges O'Cossob . The following is the letter to which Mr . O'Connor refers : — " 6 , little Tale Place , Hammersmith-Boad , •¦ Sept . 17 ib , 1 S 43 .

      MANCHESTER—Cakpekteb ' s Hall—A lecture was delivered in the above Hall on Sunday evening Jast , by Mr . Win . Dixen . The audience was large and respectable , who listened with marked attention to what tbe lectureradranced . At the close of the lecture Mr . Dixon gave an account of the proceedings of the Birmingham Conference . The various provisions for the better Organization of the Chartist body referred to by Mr . D . were received with the marked approbation of the vast assemblage . Mr . Dixon Bat dowu amid repeated rounds of applause . A gentleman in the body of the Hall moved That the thanks ot tbe Chartists of Manchester be given to Mr . Dixon for his conduct in the Conference , and also for his lecture this evening . " Mr . T . R&nkln seconded the motion , which was carried by acclamation .

      Thb Victims—At the jconclusfon of the public business a meeting of members took place in order to elect a Victim Fund Committee , in accordance with the recommendation of the late Conference . Tbb tovsq men of Manchester held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday night , when John H&rgraves delivered an interesting lecture . The audience was numerous and respectable . Thb Nobth Lakcasbibb Delegate Meeting was held at Mr . Beesley ' s , at Acorington , on Sunday , tbe 17 th jnst . Delegates were present from Acorington , Clitheroe , Blackburn . Colne , Sabden , P&diham , and Baoup . Mr . Smith officiated ; aft GfawhrnsB t M * rHeatori as ; Secretary . Resolved—M That each delegate report the state of the locality

      he may represent , and that the Secretary take a verbatim report , and that it be sent to the Star , with a request to the Editor to insert ic . " The Padiham delegate could not say that his locality has made much progress of late , but was convinced it would do . The late Conference had caused a good feeling that wonld ultimately work out something beneficial . The Sabden delegate said his district had been in a declining state ; but , through the new plan of Organization , had no doubt of Bpeedy improvement . Believed that dissensione and bickerings had weakened the body . It is therefore the duty of every well-wishing Chartist to avoid such for the future . The Baoup delegate said his locality was in a low condition ; they had at present only about

      fifteen members . Before the Strike , they had above one hundred . Whether they could raise tham again by the new Plan of Organization he could not tell ; but were determined to try . The Colne delegate said his constituency was dissatisfied with the new Plan of Organization ; when Mr . Marsden gave in a report of his stewardship , they took the opinion of the members upon it , and they could not find one that was in favour of it . They think that such a preponderating power being given to the Executive will EpMt the Chartist body up into sections . The Blackburn delegate said that in Blackburn they were gradually and steadily progressing ; they had abont one hundred paying members . He had not heard any complaints against the new

      Plan of Organization—( hear , hear ) . The Chairman said he was glad to hear so cheering an account from the Blackburn delegate . He wished be could say as much of his own locality ( Accrington ) ; they had no place to hold their lectures in , tbeir members were few , and they were in debt , but they were determined to persevere . The Clitheroe delegate said that the democratic feeling and hatred of injustice and oppression was strong in Clitheroe . There was not a locality in England that had greater obstacles to contend against . They had last week taken a house to meet in ; but the authorities were endeavouring to take it from them , but they would stick like wax , and would stand them a desperate

      struggle for it . It was only the day before that the bill-poster was stopped when posting placards , announcing a Chartist lecture ; and when the bill-poster asked the reason , he was told that the Mayor had given orders that no such placards should be posted . The authorities were determined to put Chartism down , and the Chartist body were determined to raise it up . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , when the delegates determined to labour with redoubled energy in the good cause . It was resolved unanimously : " Th&t a delegate meeting be held on Sunday , Oct . l : h , 1843 , in the Social Institute , Padiham , at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon , when delegates from all localities in North Lancashire are respectfully requested to attend .

      Mb . Richard Massden , on his return from the Birmingham Conference , gave an account of his stewardship in the Chartist Room , York-street , on Friday evening , the 15 th instant . Mr . M . went through the doings of the Conference in a brief and unsophisticated manner , and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was passed to him for his services . SUifDEBLAND . —Mr . Dickinson , of Manchester , has been holding a series of very successful meetings in Sunderland , and has excited no little enthusiasm in all who heard him . The result has been a considerable addition to the Chartist ranks in that town . Mr . Dickinson has gone to Cumberland j but will shortly return to Sunderland , when the new Organization wiil be forthwith carried out . Any locality in the county of Durham wishing for the services of Mr . D ., must write to Mr . Christopher Scott , No . 10 , Ropery Lane , Snnderland .

      EiZtiBERLEY . —A considerable nnmber of the Nottingham Chartists paid a visit to Kimberley on Sunday last , and held large meetings in _ the afternoon and evening , which were addressed with good effect by Messrs . Dorman , Barber , and Pepper . OiDHAM . —On Sunday evening last , the Chartists of this locality met in their room , Greave ' sstreet , when the New Plan of Organization was ably read by Mr . S . Yardley . The audience was numerous and respectable , and gave general

      satisfaction . At the members' meeting on Monday evening , 10 i . was voted to be sent to Mr . O'Connor , for the Executive Committee to commence their labours , as the good men and woe are 4 mte anxious to enrol under the New Plan . It likewise may not be nninteresting to the Chartist public to know that in consequence of the refusal of the Town Hall for Mr . O'Connor to deliver a lecture in , by tke sham Radicals , upwards of one hundred shares have been taken , in five week's time , for the erection of a Working Man ' s Hall .

      BRISTOL . —At the usual meeting of the Bristol Chartists , on Monday evening , it was resolved—M Thai tbe whole of the members be summoned to the weekly meeting , to take the necessary steps for carrying out the new plan of Organization . " CARLISLE . —Meeting of the Council op the Cablisle Chabtist Association —A public meeting of the above-named body took place at their room , No . 6 , John-street , Ca 5 dewgate , on Sunday last , Mr . Johii Gilbertson in tbe chair . Several sums were paid in from different districts , for the UBe of the Association , after which the minutes of last meeting were read over and confirmed . The leading article of last week ' s Slar , on the subject of the Victim Fund , was read over and approved of ; also the

      address of the late Conference on the same subject . A very animated discussion followed , as to the propriety of having a general collection on Saturday evening , tbe 23 rd inst . It was then moved by Mr . James Muir , and seconded by Mr . James O'Neil , " That a collection be made on Saturday next , in aid of the Tictim Fund . " Mr . Carruthers said that as £ lhad been already sent to theTiotim Fund , and a balance ot 7 s . 6 d . being in hand , he would move " That the balance on hand be sent to the Tictim Fund , and no collection made on Saturday first . " This amendment having been seconded , was abont to be put , when Mr . William Coulthard moved as a further amendment , and Mr . Joseph Brown seconded the same , " That a collection be made on Saturday

      first , for the Victim and Defence Funds , and that the Council have tke power of applying it to either one or the other . " On which Mr . Carrutaerir withdrew his amendment , ( and Mr . Coulthard ' s was carried by a majority of eight to two . The addresB of the Conference was then read by the Chairman , and highly applauded . Mr . Arthur then drew the attention of the Council to the subject of those persons whose fate was still undecided in tbe Court of Queen ' s Bench ; as he believed , that many persons in the country were not aware they were to be again called up , but considered they were all cleared ; so that it was highly necessary that the country fully understood the facts of the case . It was then moved by Mr . Henry Bowman , and seconded by Mr . James Muir , — " That the members

      of the Council of the Carlisle Chartist Association , respectfully recommend to the editor of the Northern Star the propriety of publishing the names and residences of those persons involved in count four of tho ' mon&ter iBdietiient , ' aod whose ease have sot yet been decided in the Court ef Queen ' s Bench ; as many persons are not aware of the great expenoe likely to be incurred . " Tbe ssotio * was put and earned unanimously . A notion was then put and carried that a balance of five shillings , which -was in the hands of the Treasurer for Dr . M'DoplbII be remitted to Mr . John Cleave , the Treasurer , which with £ 2 15 s . that was remitted a few wee ' xes ago , wenld make up the very handsome sum of £ 3 . Some pecuniary m > Uere were then settled , >\ nd the Council adjourned umil Sunday , the 24 th instant .

      , Oddy : "That this meeting will , colleetively and individually use every exertion in their power to carry out the plan , as now read from the chair , and that we now commence to prepare for the establishment of a branoh , as soon as the plan is enrolled .

      gone tbe round ef tbe borough , and we are told that 3 tO electors have signed a pledge to support no Parliamentary candidate who is not a six-point man . The Committee boast that a gentleman ef the " right sort " is in readiness whenever an opportunity occurs . Why not make him popular by bringing him out ? He has nothing to fear from Chutist opposition . If he is one of the " right sort , " the democrats of Bradford will , to a man , work night and day to ensure his return . Bat they will uot be deluded by promises of something go . > d in store , without heller proof than has yet been cifiired They will have their say on the question .

      WrOTTINGHAItt .- [ A . mved too late for publlw tion last week]—A public meeting was held in the Democratic Chapel , pa Tuesday evening , to hear tbe report of the delegate to the Birmingham Conference . &ir . B . Humphries was unanimously called to the chair , after which Mr . R . T . Morriaoa briefly detailed the proceedings at Birmingham , and ' pointed out the leading provisions of the plan , and their application to practice . Ho ox plained the alterations that had been made in it , and concluded by pointing oat the advantages attendant upon the plan adopted , not only as an efficient and safe organisation , but as interweaving our principles with the social relations of life , removing piejudice , pointing ont our ulterior measures , and providing a place where tbe slight savings of the people would be used for tbeir

      own benefit and the attainment of their rights , instead of being employed against them , and to continuo their slavery—( cheers ) . He would be glad to answer any questions and give every information to them in his power . Mr . H . Dorman said that it was doubtless very pleasing to have the land in prospective ; but the plan provided for the people to pay either threepence or sixpenee per week to the Land Fund ; and how would they be able to pay such a sum ? The Conference seemed to forget the condition of the people ; it was possible that the membsrs of the Conference might pay such a sum , but they should have remembered they were legislating net for themselves but for the working classes . Mr . Morrison could assure faim that they had not forgot the condition of the people . He had proposed that the

      subcriptioD to the Land Fund should be from threehalfpencs to one shilling per week , and it was ultimately agreed upon , that it should range from a pennj to a shilling Mr . H . Dorman still considered that the Conference had made a class distinction aad he wished to know whether they had or not He wished to be informed whether the man who paid oue penny per week would have a chance of getting upon the land as soon as the man who paid one shilling ; for if that was not tho ease , they bad taken an undue advantage of the poor . Mr . Morrison explained that the means of deciding who should fee first located upon the land was by lot . Tbe provision for lotting was left with the Executive or future Conferences j bat it woald not be supposed in the present state of society that those who contributed

      tbe moat would have a greater chance of being located soonest . He wonld wish to see the time when every man would consider it to be his duty to do the utmost he could for the good ot society ; but in the present state , If there were not additional advantages attending a shilling contribution over the penny one , he would ask how many shilling subscribers they woald have ? The Land Fund must be looked upon as a place of deposit ; aad if they only gave an interest to those who contributed one shilling tbe same as if they contributed one penny , he was afraid the contributions would be small . In such a caso operations would be crippled to the detriment even of the smaller subscribers , and the larger ones would still be deposited with their oppreabois—( hear , bear . ) Air were equal in the political

      part of the plan . Mr . J . Barber understood that if any person was unable to pay bis subscription to tbe General Fund he would be dismissed ; but it was explained that if any person , through sickness or poverty , was unable to pay his contribution , he should atill continue a member and be entitled to take part and vote by his name being enrolled , and having his card renewed , which was not charged for except when he first entered . They had also provided fer shilling fuarterly carda for those who wished to pay their subscriptions quarterly , and endeavoured to adapt the Plan to all eases . Mr . Dorman and Mr . Peters offered some further observations as to the inability of tbe people to carry oat the allotment system . Mr . Barber instanced the Orange Clubs and Trades' Unions , to show that the

      Government could at any tune suppress them . Mr . Morrison , after replying as to the inability of the people to carry out the allotment system , showed that if their arguments were correct , all the objections which had been taken on this and former occasions fell to the ground ; for at any rate it enabled them to have a mere safe and efficient organization than they ever had or could have by other means . He would ask whether they could point out any other organizitlon equal to it , independent of the land fund , or whether they could devise one ? The cases of tbe Orange Clubs and Trades ' Unions were not in point . The laws by which they were suppressed were in existence at the time Trades ' Unions were formed , and the other did not interfere

      with tbe rights of property . Now our organization was formed in strict accordance with the laws ; and before it could be suppressed they must either deny , by a special Act , protection to property to those who entertained certain opinions , or pat down all benefit societies , and interfere with the social arrangements of nearly half the people . They would not do either one or the other ; but should they do bo , they would render oar cause the most effectual service , by rousing such a spirit of indignation as they would find it no easy matter to withstand —( cheers ) . A vote of thanks was proposed and carried unanimously , amidst considerable applause , to Mr . R . T . MoniBon for bis services at the late Birmingham Conference , and to the Chairman , for his impartial conduct .

      SHEFFIELD . —Mr . West preached a sermon on practical Christianity , at the Cora Exchange , on Sunday afternoon , to a highly respectable and attentive auditory . The contrast between the life and character of the founder of Christianity , and his apostles , with those of the present day , who assume to be their lineal descendants , was admirably pourtrayed , and the principles of Chartisai proved to be erected on tho same fundamental basis as Christianity , the " doing unto nil men as we would they should do unto us . " Figtbee-Lane . —On Sunday evening , a meeting was held in the above room , Mr . Koyston in the chair . Mr . O'Connor ' s letter was read from the Star , and gave universal satisfaction , particularly that port referring to total abstinence , the great majority declaring that they would follow ¦ Mr . O'C . ' s noble example . Mr . J . £ vinaon was first introduced ( b the meeting , aad in a soulstirring speech impressed upon them the necessity of rousing from tbeir apathy , and forgetting all by-gones ,

      to set heart and soul to the good werk of carrying pat the new Organisation .: Mr . Hall next addressed them on the importance of the land , and enumerated many useful and interesting , facts . Mr . West followed , en forcing Mr . Evisson ' s views , and showing that tbe two great obstacles we had to contend with were the ignorance of the people as to tbe power they possessed , and the disunion amongst those who had the requisite knowledge , preventing them from bringing those powers to bear against the upholders of the corrupt system . He called on them to tally aroand O'Conner and the new Executive , and enable them to place Chartism where it ought to be , ia advanae of all movements . On Monday evening , Mr . West gave & lecture on tbe new OrganisnUbB and the land , which gave ; great ntisfketion . Mr . Hall , and Mr . Gill , alse a ^ oko at some length , and preparations were made for the re-enro ? nent of tbe members under the Iff . w Organization . :

      0 TOCBPORT . Mr . Thomas CIsffk lectured here on Sunday evening last . The audience waa numerous . The lecturer dwelt at considerable length on the power the working classes possessed , if they had sufficient food sense ) to bring it t » bear against their enemies , and proved to demonstation , that antil working men eeased to spend their hard earnings in supporting bloated publican ^ they would not either possess , or deserve to have their Charter . The lecturer concluded a leagthy and telling address by calling npon his hearer 3 one and all , to becoma members of the ' New Association . The sum of 9 d . Hi . was collected at the door .

      DUMFRIES . —On Monday ae / anight , Mr . Wardrop delivered bis weekly address ia the Market Place : subject , " The CombinoitioB Laws . " The lecture was a good one , and well received by a numerous audience ; indeed , these meetings appear to increase on every occasion . To-night he bad intended to discuss the question of j Organization , aad lay the new plan before the people ,, but was prevented by family affliction . The plaa of the Conference is greatly approved of in thia locality . DUNDEE . —Mr . John Arrau , fro » Bradford , who is now officiating on the Sundays ia the Chartist church here , delivered a leoture in the above place on tbe evening of Monday last . The lecture occupied about an hour and a half ; the subject being " The advantages to be derived from a Charter Parliament . " He was listened to throughwjfc with marked attention and repeatedly ] cheered ; indeed we have seldom listened with more pleasure to any

      lecture delivered in the same place . At the close of the above lecture the usual weekly meeting' of the Democratic Council , for the transacting of business was convened , when after the necessity for a union between England and Scotland being , entered into , it was moved and carried by acclamation , — " That we invite Messrs . O'Connor and Duncombe to honour this place with a visit at their earliest convenience in order to lay the foundation of a union between the two countries , % s also to bring into active operation the English Plan of Organization . " After some routine business being transacted the meeting broke up with a strong desire on their part that the other towns in Scotland should follow this example , being convinced that a visit from these gentlemen would most effectually establish that union so much desired by the people of England , and also by a great portion , indeed we believe tbe great majority , of the people of Sootland .

      GLASGOW . —The weekly meeting of the Comnutteo of the Charter Association was held in the Young Men ' s Academy , College-street , on Monday evening , Mr . Mitchell in the chair . Mr . Smith moved that the committee , in order to extend the operations of the Association , do agree to get up leotures in the various districts in the neighbourhood of the city . Mr . Colquhoun moved an amendment to the effect , that as the Plan of 'National Organization adopted by the late Birmingham Conference , was now before the country , they ( Che Directors ) should take no further steps till the people of Glasgow had decided whether to join the National Association , or continue as tbe Glasgow Association . The amendment was supported by Mr . Adams , and

      others . On the vote being taken , the amendment was carried all but unanimously . ] Mr . Colquhoun moved that a committee be appointed to inquire aB to the best works on the factory system , and agriculture . Agreed to . It was then agreed , on the motion of Mr . Adams , that the New Plan of Organization be taken into consideration on Monday evening next ; and from the importance of the subject , the collectors were instructed to make it as widely known as possible . It is therefore expected that all these who take an interest in this important movement will consider it their duty to be present ; we have been long in the way of pulling down , it is now high time we were beginning to

      build up . To the mere declaimer the Plan now issued may not bo congenial ; to the trafficking politician it holds out no hope . Those whose object was to live upon the movement , are not likely to give much countenance , or co-operation , te what is calculated to destroy their prospects . It is time we were out of the hands of both the one and the other ; and it Is to be hoped that Jour English brethren will be guarded in their choice of those who may be fixed upon as lecturers . Much will depend , not only upon their talent , but on their prudence and moral rectitude . A single false step , however unintentional , would entail more disaster on the cause than anything that has hitherto befallen us .

      HEO TCASTLE . —The meeting ) in the Chartists ' Hall , Goat Inn , Cloth Market , oh Sunday evening , was addressed by Messrs . B . Watson , ( who likewise presided on the occasion ) , j R . Forster , and Thomas Dickinson . A vote of thanks was tendered to each of the three speakers , and the meeting was dissolved about naif-past nine o ' clock . The Chartists of Newcastle arid Gateshead held their usual weekly meeting in the Chartists' Hall , on Monday evening , Mr . John Robertson in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes ! of the previous meeting , which were confirmed . Mr . Sinclair said he had great pleasure in informing tbe meeting that he had received Is . 7 d . from a workshop in North Shields , which his absence on last meeting night

      prevented him from reporting , about a fortnight ago , and , he was instructed to pay it into the victim fund . He then passed a eulogidm on the character of the men of Shotley Bridge , who had [ acted so honourably and liberally when the Defence Fund was collecting . It would appear they ! were not weary of well-doing yet ; for a few days ago he had received ten shillings from tbe honest men of Shotley Bridge , five shillings of which he was instructed to hand to the Victim Fund , and five shillings to the District Lecturers' Fund . A vote of thanks was tendered to the weavers' shop in North Shields for their Is . 7 d ., and to the men of Shotley Bridge for their 103 . ; and the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to : —1 st . "That a Committee be appointed to examine the Plan of Organization ,

      adopted by the National Conference at Birmingham , and make the necessary steps towards establishing a Branch in this town . " 2 d . That . Messrs . Higgins , Seed , Gibb , Woodward , Embleton , Fleming , Fairbairn , jun ., Robertson , Marshall , ! Watson , Young , and Sinclair form that Committee . " 3 rd . "That this meeting tender their best thanks to the men whose votes were recorded in the minority at the late Conference , inasmuch as they did not show that anti-democratic spirit evinced at the former Conference in December last by the minority , who then ran away ; and , likewise to the whole of the delegates of tbe late Conference , for the manner in which they conducted tke business of the Conference . " Some local business having been disposed of , the meeting then adjourned .

      FATAL DUEL AT NEW ORLEANS . The New Orleans Diamond of Sunday , the 20 tb , ult ., comes to us with the following account of a duel whioh took place there on the day previous : —

      There was considerable excitement in the city last evening , in consequence of a hostile meeting between Mr . Hueeton , of the Baton Rouge GaMeitt and the Hon . Aloee Labranche . " The parties met at six o ' clock at ' The Oaks / a short distance from the Gentilly road . The distance agreed upou was forty yards , and the weapons selected double-barrelled shot guns , to be loaded with ball—the parties to fire between the words * one and " * five- ' They fought four rounds , the result of which , was as follows : — " 1 st Round , —Mr . Labranche discharged both barrels at the same time , and before Mr . Huestoa had fired a second barrel the time fixed upon expired * Of course , he lost a fire . " 2 nd Round . —Both fired single barrels at intervals . Mr . Labranche ' s second barrel struck the pantaloons of Mr . Huestoa , and passed through the knees of them without touching the flesh .

      " 3 rd Round . —Mr . Labranche tired both barrels at the same time j the balls passed through the hat of Mr . Hues ton , about two inches apart . " 4 th Round—Mr . Hueston fired first . Mr . Labranche ' s shot took effect in the left Bide , on the last rib , and passed out on the other side , ranging low down . He threw his gun forward , and fell back at full length on the ground . The wound was at first pronounced mortal by the physicians in attendance . " The parties exhibited on the ground the utmost coolness and fortitude . Mr . Hueston was placed on a litter and carried to a house near the ground . We are happy to state , that at a late hour laBt night hopes were entertained of his recovery . " P . S . —Most sincerely do we regret the duty that devolves upon us of announcing the death of Mr . Hueeton . He expired at half-past eleven o ' clock , in the full possession of his mental faculties . "

      The New Orleans newspapers of Saturday , the 19 th ult ., relate the immediate cause of the duel . It appears from them , that Hueston is the editor of a paper—printed , we believe , at Baton Rouge , Louisiaui—and published an article against Mr . Labranche . Soon after Mr . Labranche saw the article , he heard that Mr . Hueston was in the city of New Orleans ; and he at onoe took a stick , and went ia search of him . He found Hueston at a billiardtable , with a cae in his hand . A few words passed between them , when Mr . Labranchestruck him , andfollowed up his blows several times before they were

      parted . When they were separated , it was thought that Htieston- was killed ; and Mr . Labranche ' s friends tried to prevail upon him to leave the room and conceal himself , which he refused to do . At length he agreed to leave the room and go to some place in the city , which he named , on condition thai ' some person , who should remain there , would tell Hueston or his friends where he might be found If they should desire anything more from him . This being promised , Mr . Labranche left the room and ' went to the place which he had designated . This was on Wednesday , toe 16 th insii , and on Saturday . evening following , according to the statement of the Picayune ,, the duel was fought .
