      conchaon ihaievery reroli—OTervKm > hition--every murder and barbarity has been , occasioned by the flainnaBle policy of Xouib Pmtn-ps , while the French people , as if diTerted by Mb stage trickery * pon the Peninsula , allow their capital to be beamed in , and Borrounded by fortresses , wiihin -which the tyrant may luxuriate in quiet , while the people contend in Tain against his sway . " 0 I " says his senile press , " why evinceEach alarm at the dead walls ! Why not restrain your enthusiasm until a demand is made for furnishing the walls with instruments of death ! Not a farthing has

      yet been voted for such a purpose ; not & cannon has yet been east j and , peradreatnre , the walls wiB not be fit for their reception until the year 1844 , 1 S 45 , or may be ai 1846 . " What ! will not our Trench neighbours take warning by our iollies 1 Our police were first established as a civil power ; and then emergency justified the arming them with butchers' knives . And so it will be with the forti-Beations of Paris , when they are" completed , aad ready to receive , tbelgnns . Then * whether it be in

      lUi , 1845 , or 1846 , the i " rench Minister would reply to the opposition to mounting the guns : * What ! -was any man in France bo foolish or insane to think that so much public money would be expended for nothing 1 Why ! of what use would the bare walls be , if not mounted with cannon I" And as our ministera do , so will flie Trench Minister , Tinder the command and direction of the Citizen IBng i nount the guns and man the walls ; and thus terminate the debate by announcing that the deed is done , and now must be paid / or .

      When oar bastiles were being built , there was erery promise of comfort ; but when they were finished , and the paupers were cooped -up from the public eye , then the law of the M King * blasted all the hope of the inmates . Taking warning , then , [ Frenchmen , bj what has passed in England ! We esteem the present as the fitting time for the French mind te try Us strength , in raas&ig the progress of this deadly attempt upon their liberties .

      We rejoice at the progress that the cause of democracy is making all over the world . The very complaints which the Belgians made against their Dutch Xing , and which justified revolt and separation ; and the very eomplaints which the Greeks made against their German monarch , and which led to his fettering and curbing , are precisely the same that Jdi . O'Cossell makes against the "Engli sh Oligarchy . Belgium was infested with Dutch placemen ; Greece was swarmed over with German lice ; just as Ireland is socked by "RngiiRh leeches . If .

      then , the Queen would preserve lier Irish title , we would recommend her to prefer Repeal to -Separation ; for so sure as grass grows and water runs , the refusal of the former will lead , and that speedily , to the accomplishment of the latter ; and if she desires to preserre what siSR remains of her Boyal prerogative , we would recommend her to make freemen , instead of Blares , of her English subjects , by proclaiming the law of the Chabteb , insteadof the rule of the cannon ; for she . may rest assured that neither" Ehe nor her ministers : her

      horse , foot , or dragoons ; her sappers , miners , gunners , or artillerymen ; her bombs , her shells , or her mortars , can undermine the public mind ; can shoot a public sentiment , cut down public opinion , or stab one rising thought .

      THE DUNCOMBE DEMONSTRATIONS . Nixt week our gallant Dtocoxbe begins his tour . On Monday he enters Manchester ; on Satsrday , the 21 st , he will be at Newcastle ; on the 26 $ h , he will visit Aberdeen ; and on the 30 th , he will see the Glasgowfriends . Now , it is of importance to the whole Chartist casse , that these demonstratioBS be really and truly worthy of the Chartist body . Chartism is said lo iedead ; especially in Scotland . Let the world Bee whether that saying be true or not ! Every hand to the pump 1 We hare not many I > tjjiooicb * s . la fact , ire hare but one . It behores us , therefore , to make much of him , as he has stood well and firmly by us .

      Strengthen his hand * . He will hare to appear in " the House" again next Session . He is our man there 1 He has the moral courage to let ** the House" know it . Let us take care and let Mm Bee that W £ can appreciate patriotic services * and hold the man of the people in honour . To the Chartists of Manchester , Newcastle , Aberdeen , and Glasgow , we say , "Be np and doing . " The honour of Chartism is in your keeping . Mind that it be not either sullied or dimmed .

      M THE TENDENCY OF WAGES IS TO BISE . " HyRre are more proofs of Groosey's saying ; They might be easily multiplied . These will serve , however , for one week . They will shew the " more " that the great mass of eonsumers' * have left , to spend on clothing , when they have purchased * cAecp food !* Plenty of " hoik" the Woolcombers , tfie . Linen Weavers , and the Type Founders , have ! Plenty of ** mobs" the ** great body of consumers" have 2 Here are the proofs . Let Goosey try to gobble them . They wSl stick in her gizzard : —

      "BiADFOBD—The Wooloombebs'Sthikb . —These over-worked rand Hi-paid Operatives are still struggling with Bome ^ f the employers , who have refused to advance the -wages according to the list price of Messrs . Wood and Walker . Every week a number of thiB body are forced to strike vrork , reason or argument having no effect on their liberal ( 7 ) employers . In some cues naif the amount demanded is granted , and then a vote of thanks must be publicly tendered to the master : tbe advance in

      those cases being a farthing per pound for some sorts . In one or two cases the steam-lords advanced the full amount demanded on that sort of wool which the workman very seldom gets to comb ; but not a fraction advance on the sorts In general use . Many of the men declare they will not feel any benefit by the advance for six months yet , as it will require that time to compensate them , owing to the anilines of the advance , for the loss of time in obtaining it .

      M Babjsslbt . —The weavers of Haxworth and Co . still continue out . They are determined ; let what will be tbe consequence , to oppose to the utmost any further reductions . The common woTk , which they "wish to reduce , is already so low , that Tast numbers have not been able to avenge more than three or four ^ hillings per week ! and numbers of weavers in Barnsley axe actually in a starving condition . The drill trade is also extremely dull . Tery few fancies have come out yet ; and there is little hope of a u brisk trade" this winter . On Monday night last , a weavers meeting was convened in Pickering ' s large room , Amoro « s Boraet in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs . Grimshaw and

      Harper . They urged the necessity of opperim reduction * , whifth they clearly showed were never beneficial ' either to manufacturer or workman . Mjdxaxd Corttxbs . — ¦ * On Tuesday , J delivered a lecture in WMtwick Market-place . The meeting wa 3 an excellent one . The working people are generally engaged in framework-knitting and getting coil ; but unfortunately , like all other places-1 have been in , steeped to the very lips in poverty . The poor colliers do hot aterage above six shillisgs a tfsek vhen they have fvil employment , which 1 b not often the casej some of the pita not " working more than two or three days a-week .

      Delesc&tes , holden « the Craven Head , Drnry-lane , on Tuesday evening , Sept . 28 , the Secretary observed , that from " miniken" to " pica , " die masters had reduced tbe wages of the men 35 per cent . ; that from "English" to " canon" and u five-line" work , they had made * reduction of 50 and 75 per cent . ; and that tbe wages ibr fancy and figare work bad been reduced 35 per cent . Several persons addressed the meeting ; and from those addresses it appeared that during theiune weekB # f the men ' sitrik * they have not had snore than 3 i a week each mu for his support , and that of his family .

      TO THE PEOPLE .

      Mt dkab Fbiends , —I regard thiB as tbe moBt important crisis that our movement has yet seen . I am watching it wi ; h most intense anxiety . If I see it take such a turn as may secure our foothold , I shall be content ; I shall deem myself well paid for all my years ot toil ; because I shall then entertain no fears of an ultimate advancement . But this will require ub to exercise great caution now . The ground under us is most tickle and slippery . A single false step now taken might be irrecoverable . X- sinjsle _ step in a wronfc direction tuno misht surround us with difficulties , and overwhelm us with a pressure sufficient to destroy us . I hope this may not be . I hope we have learned enough of wisdom from experience to enable us now to see our way , and to choose our path .

      I do not presume to threaten you , in , cs £ e you should not act on my advice . I have-no right to do so . I am not vain enough to think that tbe withdrawal of the light of my countenance would afford any serious embarassment to your proceedings ; nor , if I had such an opinion , wculd 1 seek to use it as a means of coercing your judgment or your movements . But I may advise . I may offer yoa my counsel . 1 may tell yon what I think safest and wisest to be done for our common good . I have a right to do this , and you have a right to expect it from me . And never was it more necessary for you to hear counsel from all in whom yon have confidence than just now .

      I learn from the Star of last week , that Mr . Tidd Pratt had refused to enrol the Organization . I regard this as a most serious and ominous cirenmstance ; calling for the exercise of double caution and determination . It is an evidence to me that government has " taken its stand . " Tidd : Pratt has had his orders" from " bead quarters" and he acts under command . Had he been left free to the exercise of hiB own judgment he oould not , nor do I believe that he would have hesitated for an instant about the matter . The whole thing is nearly a verbatim copy of the Socialists plan of Organization , waich he has before enrolled . As the Editor says , in last weeks Star , * He has before certified an exactly similar plan , objects , organization , benefits , 1

      and all , to be * in accordance with law" The same principles of law aod duty which impelled him to act in the one case , should surely have impelled him in the other also ; and I neither can nor will believe that any man , acting ob his own free jadgment , would so stultify himself as this refusal to certify in the present case stultifies Mr . Tidd Pratt . I have no doubt therefore that he acts upon "authority ;" under command ; and under promise of protection . I do not see the barrier to enrolment in Hi . Tidd Pratt ; but in a power above his , and from which he holds his place . I regard ilr . Tidd Pratt as merely *• a tool" in the hands of those who ** work" with him . If I do him injustice , he mast blame for it his own inconsistency . Right or wrong , that is my

      opinion ; and , holding that opinion , I think that , though , by perseverance and resolution , the enrolment may perhaps be forced , there will be -much more trouble and expence abont it than the Editor of tbe Slar seems to anticipate . I have little doubt that every impediment which all the legal and other power of government can oppose to it , will be called into requisition . The enrolment will be prevented if it be possible to do it . Buckle on your armour for the baale . therefore ; let the Government know that a people peaceable seeking the protection of the law in their efforts to promote righteousness and general good , are not to be insulted nor trifled with ; but that their reasonable and fair demands must be complied with . Let not an atom of your exertions be , withheld because of this irebuff i rather let them be increased . But let them be made warily . Give tbe enemy no handle . Do not , while seeking to be legalized , offer

      any , the least , violation of even the oppressive and unjust laws from whose operation yon claim to be exempted . You may still be considering the Plan of Orf anisation which your delegates have agreed to . This delay will only afford you tha opportunity of first stamping it with your approval and adoption before it receives the additional stamp of his recognition and certificate . This is , to my mind a matter of far higher moment , I think it far more important that the Plan should receive your approbation than Mr . Tidd PraW ' s ; and f should like to hear from the Star of next week , that you have , with one accord , and without one exception , met in your several localities , and determined to adopt it , whether Mr . Tidd Pratt pleaseor not . And , in the event of tbe enrolment being ultimately and finally refused , 1 will then tell you something that perhaps Mr . Tidd Pratt and his masters have not thought of . :

      There are at least several parts of the Plan which yon stay now act upon in spite of enher Mr . Tidd Pratt or any one else . You can at all events get all your branches formed as district local Associations . Yoa can place all th « so distant local associations upon the exact footing of the general Plan as . to Orgamzifaon and government . There may be »* fc * rtist Association at Birmingham , another at Redditch , another at Worcester , another at Leedf i and another at Hull - and these different societies may all have exactly the same Organization , and government , and laws ; and yet tbey may have no « oan ^ ion , ^ ® r : respondence at all with each other ; while they can all correspond with the Nor / hern S / ar , sad bo commnnicate 10 each other all their proceedings . This , therefore , I adviBe yon to do , at once , ana instantlv T # . t thfi Chartists of every town meet and

      enrol themselves as a local body . Have nothing to do with any Charteis or with any- G&rds from the Executive until the Plan shall have been enrolled . If you do you will be in danger ; you will arm the enemy with an argument against you ; and you wilJ destroy your -whole cbance of ultimate raccess . £ . nrol yuuneh-es as local bodies ; and adopt the FlaD go tar as it applies to local bodies j and that if just

      Untitled Article

      as far as ^ the Organization and government of Branches is concerned . Let every separate place elect Us Committee of Siven Members , including President , Treasurer , and Secretary : divide its members into classes , and " go to work" with the Plan as a distinct localbody . All these will be then ready for amalgamation as soon as the enrolment battle has been fought through . There is an important thing to be noted in the appointment of lecturers by the several distriots . There can be no " District Boards" until after the enrolment ; unless you choose to make every memier liable to transportation . The lecturers cannot therefore be appointed by the districts , just although the Plan had been enrolled . Every delegate meeting to

      appoint a distrust lecturer must consist of delegates specially chosen for that bnsiness , and no other ; and they must be chosen , not at meetings of the Chartist Association , but at public meetings of the inhabitants of the town , borough , city , or parish . If a single delegate be present who has not been thus appointed—every act of the meeting will be illegal , and every man who takes part in- it , and every lecturer who acts under its appointment liable to punishment .: I have told you all this some scores of times already iu the Star ; and I bad hoped that it might not be necessary now to repeat it . It eeems however that it is , and therefore I do repeat it . In the most emphatic terms I warn you that I believe the Government to be just now waiting eagerly and

      anxiously to pounoe upon you . I believe that they will seize upon any opportunity which may be offered to them ; and that , if you appoint lecturers for the districts in the terms of the Plan and just as though tbe rules bad been enrolled ; if you take out cards and Charters from the Executive , or correspond , as societies , with the Executive at all , until after the enrolment have been obtained , you will surely ; draw down another Government prosecution ; you will have a newbatok of " victims " and " victims' families" to provide for ; you will have more lawyers' bills ; more imprisonments ; and perhaps more transportations . You have surely had enough of all these before ! But you will surely have more of them if you do not now beware . You never were in greater danger ; never needed more prudence than just now . Do not . for heaven ' s

      sake , now that you are just getting the ship righted , again evoke the storm , form yourselves at once into district local bodies—ready for general action ; but take not another step until this Organization matter is decided . You are on the tery edge of a precipice ; and if you do not look well to yourselves you will be again sacrificed . I have much more to say , and shall resume the subject next week . I shall then shew you how , as distinct local bodies , you may , with the help of the Slar , fight all through , and weather the new storm with ease . But oommit yourselves by the appointment of District Boards , and by holding Cards and Charters from the Executive , under present circumstances , and both they and you will live to repent that you did not act on the advice of Your faithful friend and servant , Wic . Hill . HulL Oct . 3 rd . 1843 .

      Lakchesteu . Sept . 22 nd . —Teasdale , a pitman , summoned Hedley , the owner of Craig Head Colliery , for three sums—2 s ., 18 * ., and 10 s . The first claim was for hewing eight score "in the double " : for this the bond gave 3 d . extra eaoh score . The 18 a . was for nine days , during which the complainant , from tbe pit not working , had been laid idle . The last sum , 10 s ., involved a question of considerable importance , and one upon which the masters are most obstinate . It ib the practice in almost all the Collieries for the masters to keep back a week ' s wages . This enables them to oppress the pitmen in a variety of ways—keeping back money for fines , &o . But the worst effect was , that the men were thus kepi in a state of mental subjection to their masters , which lessened those feelings of individual independence upon which alone they can rely for the destruction of their thraldom . Against th » B , therefore , Mr . Boberts resolved to make a determined stand .

      The masters were defended by Mr . Marshall , of Durham , who pat viewer after viewer into the witness box , to prove that it was altogether impossible to make the requisite calculations for paying Xhe men in less time than a week after the work was done . They were subjected , however , to a severe cross-examination by Mr . Roberts and were compelled to eat most of their previous statements . One admitted , but be wriggled most horribly under the operation , that nine Sours would be sufficient to calculate the wages : another brought down his seven days to thirteen hours ; a third , however , stood out for three days and persisted that nothing less would do . Mr . Roberts made an eloquant spetob in defence

      of iiis clients , referring to "the words in the bond and the general rules of law as proof that the masters were bound to pay all that was earned up to the very hour of payment . After a reply from Mr . Marshal ] , who relied upon the " the custom of the Coal Miners , " as well as the difficulty to which hiB witnesses had deposed , the Magistrates retired and after an absence of two houris , gave their decision in favour of the pitmen . This decision is regarded as one of immense importance , and has gone fax to raise the magistrates in public estimation . [ We have received notes of several other cases from our own correspondent ; indeed it appears that scarcely a day passes without some struggle or other ; bnt they are similar to what we have already given , and we therefore omit them . —Ed .

Wakefield—On Monday last John Daweon , and Benjamin Brommit , two of the men lately employed at Locke ' s colliery , Snaperthorpe , were brought before the sitting magistrates at Wakefield , on Monday laut , charged with assault ; when they were committed to the House of Correction for two

      months . The particulars of the alledged assault have not been sent hs ; but our correspondent states that Mr . Marshall , the magistrate , would not hear witnesses for the defence , who if they had been heard could have prtved that the men were not prc sent when the alleged assault took place . It was stated in evidence that the men . were on strike for wages . Tbis is false . The men . are on strike because Mr . Locke would deprive them of the extras heretofore allowed , viz ., one penny per score , after getting ten soore on the rise , and eight score from the dip . Them are th « demands of the poor working men . We believe every collier will admit that they are not more than bare justice .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held their usual weekly meeting oa Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . John Keyan ia the chair . The Chairman said that be felt very proud of tbe honour of presiding over a meeting of his fellow citizens ; and be hoped that ere long that room , Bpacious as it was , wou ) d soon be too small to hold them . The number now enrolled on their books was 1 , 094 members—( hear , bear ) . They had a great deal to contend agaiast . They were calumniated and vilified ; their objects and motives misrepresented to such a degree that many well-meaning men belierred that they were enemies to their country ; whilst others , who understood and appreciated their principles , were

      afraid to join them , lest they should be denounced , and consequently injured in their business . He should give every one a fair hearing ; and , in the event of any opposition to their proceedings , he hoped that all parties would confine themselves to the strict rules of debate—( hear , heat ) . The Secretary , Mr . Dyoti , would read the rules and objects of the Association , for the information of those who were unacquainted with them . At all events , it was a wholesome practice to read them— ( hear , ) - ^* practice which he thought should always be adopted at their meetings . Tne Association may well be proud of them They are founded upon the geuuine principles of Radical Reform . They form a political oreed which is short

      and easy learned . This society is like the temperanoe movement . Mea who join it become better thinkers and better citizens . After some further excellent observations , the Chairman resumed his seat . Mr . Dyott read tho last day ' s proceedings which were confirmed . He then read tbe objects and the rules of the sooiety . Mr . Dyott said that before they proceeded with the business of the meeting he should like to read one of the best , if not the very best letter , he had ever seen . It was written by Feargus O'Connor , and was truly patriotic aa well as unanswerable . Mr . Dyott read the letter which was loudly cheered . Mr . O'Higgins spoke at considerable length , in confirmation of several facts in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , and referred to the

      auto-biography of Mr . Archibald Hamilton Rowan in proof of Mr . O'Connor's former statement respeoiipg the bigotry anddeoeitfulnessof thebepraised | Loro ^ Charle mont . Mr . Rowan , whose veracity no min ever doubted , fully bears oat Mr . O'Connor's statement . Its truth cannot be impeached . There it stands in the very words which Mr . O'Connor quotes . He was glad to see them made public , as he hated cant and hypocrisy , either in religion or politics . This exposl ia worth gold . It shows up the present Whig decoy duck . " Any money from Lord Charlemost , " said O'Conneii , their dog . * ' Why does the present Noble Lord tarnish his great name by

      remaining quiescent , and not following in the footstepa of his Noble father , Lord Charlemont , of 1782 . " This is the way O'Connell betrays tha Irish ioto the hands of their enemies . He kuew the character of the late Lord Charlemont , just as well aa Mr . O'Connor ; but it would not suit his plans to let his dupes know it . Mr . O'Connor has all the historical facts connected with Ireland ; they are part and parcel of his family records ; and now , as the Yortherh Star is pretty generally read ia Ireland , it his duty to expose the mock patriots of ancient and modern times—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Woodward roBe , and , in a very sensible speech , proposed the following address : —

      , TO THB CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats ,- For io y « u we behold brethren—men who , recognizing the universality of human right , are banded together in the holy pursuit of that freedom which shall include within its wide embrace every atemberof the community , without reference to his religious creed , adventitious position , or worldly possessions . " We are mutually enduring injustice and oppression , —lef o » r | struggle be mutual to accomplish the annihilation of a system of monopoly , idleness , aad immunity for the few—labour , privation , and exclusion for the many . ' The oligarchy who tread upon the proscribed people , hayo devised many plans by which that free discussion which they dread , that popular assembly which they hate , and which , if they dared , they would totally prohibit , may be fettered . and repressed .

      In your more favoured country , however , tyranny wears not so bold a front , and touches with more timorous hand , the last traces of political privilege remaining to the people . In our unfortunate land , divisions among its infatuated sons , have left freedom more defenceless , and the spoiler has more ruthlessly attacked , and more recklessly retrenched the the power of the people to agitate for a redress of their grievances . An act framed fifty years ago , still stains the Irish Statute book with an ordinance from which your country ia happily exempt ; by it no focus or concentration of popular opinion can ever be formed in Ireland ; by it no body of men deputed by those amongst whom they live , and whose confidence they

      possess , can meet together to confer oa , and direct the movements of the people : nay , so stringent is the letter of this obnoxious law , that not even an assembly of deputies from respective handicrafts can meet together to settle affairs of trade without subjecting themselves to its penal operatioBs—need we inform you , that the degrading statute to which we allde is called—the Convention Act ? Men of Britain , we know thatthis infernal law was passed by Mr . what O'Connell facetiously calls a free and Independent Irish Parliament . We know , too , that it was pased in the year when the middle and merchant classes obtained what is called free trade .

      We furtheir know that no attempt has ever beeit made by the braggadocio patriots of Ireland in the Imperial parliament to obtain Ub repfal , even when they were backed by the whole power and influence of their friends , the Whigs . It is reserved for us , humble as we are , to seek this modicum of justicefor oar country J and for you to prove by your conduct that you are indeed the sound-hearted and generous lovers of universal freedom , without regard to caste , creed , or country , which it is the boast of the Chartists of Great Britain , and of them alone , as , tho true descendaats of the pristine apostles of real Radical Reform on all occasion .,, to have consistently shown themsflvee to be .

      We beseech yoa then , brethren , tojoin us in petitioning generally ) and unceasingly , for a repeal of this liberty stabbing law , which for half a century has disgraced our restrictive code . Gould it even be established that necessity had called it into existence , that necessity had long since passed away ; and it fixes eternal infamy 6 a that party who so boastingly proclaimed themselves desirous of equalizing the laws and constitutional privileges of the two countries , that in tha moment of its strength and power it did not obliterate this odious distinction ; and deeper infamy still attaches to our own loadtalking liberal representatives , that they never yet demanded the extinction of this badge of inferiority

      and degradation . \ Let your petitions be written upon plain paper * and sent from every small locality . Such will be the least expensive and the most effeotive mode of assailing power with the only legal weapon left within the grasp of the people . Believe us , brethren , heartily yours in the , keen sense of mutual wrong and the fixed resolve never to relax in oar peaceble but energetic moral efforts to secure for everyt man his inherent natural and nalienable right—whiob can only be secured by making the Charter the law of the land . Patrick O'Higgins , President . W . H . Dyott , Secretary .

      Mr . Dyott begged leave to second the adoption of the address . Mr . j O'Higgias , their worthy president , had spoken so fully « n the importance of getting rid of the odious Convention Act , that it was unnecessary to dwell for a moment on that subject . Mr . O'Higgins had adverted to the latest title ohosen for Mr . O Coanel ]' s new association , with a capital of £ 30 , 000 , which was to meet in Conciliation Hall , on Burgh Quay . It appeared that the" Liberator " Dot being able , even with all his acknowledged adroitness , subtlety , and ingenuity t © drive a coach and six through the Convention Act , had determined to call the prospective assembly—the " Preservative Society . " While Mr . O'Higgins was speaking , he ( Mr . D ) . had been thinking whether " preserve "

      and " conserve were not synonymous and convertible terms ; and he had arrived at the conclusion that it was impossible for : the most hair-splitting discrimination to find any difference ever so small or "fine /' as Sheridan Knowlea wosld . say , between the two words—they differed slightly ia sound but were identical in sense —( hear ) . Mr . O'Connell therefore , he ( Mr . D . ) supposed in order to conciliate the Orangemen . —was about to establish a " Corner * votive Association " in Ireland —( hear , and laughter ) . So much for the forthcoming Parliament—it was to be a Conservative } Association , and nothing more . Now , with regard to the continued abuse heaped on Mr . Feargus O'Connor : he ( Mr . D . ) had ao acquaintance , personal or otherwise , with that

      gentleman , nor had he any object to gain by endeavouring to believe him the pink of political perfection . He happened , however , to agree with Mr . O'Connor in the principles whiob constituted the Charter ; and he could not but admire the ability , perseverance , and consistency , which characterised that gentleman ' s course—( hear ) . He ( Mr . D ) could not , however , '; altogether resist the impression made by the repeated innendoes and denunciations of Mr . O'Connell aad his myrmidons ; and he had many misgivings that there must be some real cause for all the invective and vituperation poured upon the devoted head of the Chartist leader . He had , therefore , inquired ; examined , and watched ; and what was the result ? Why , that he had never

      been able to learn , nor could he ever observe any crime , fault , or even imprudence , justly chargeable on Mr . O'Connor : while he had seen , a great people—the { English industrious classesdenuded of those withering prejudices which held them apart from their Irish brethren , and absolutely made " more Irish than the Irish themselves , " by the exertions of that calumniated individual in question—( loud cheers ) . Honour , then , to Mr . O'Connor , from all Irishmen who possessed one spark of feeling andjgratitude ! and doubly base was he who heard him maligned , and protested not against it— ( cheers ) . ¦ Yet Mr . O'Connell abused him ; and Mr . O'Connell is " an honourable man . " Now , there was an individual called Richard Lalor Shiel ,

      once a bold advocate for Ireland and Repeal , and the spirited coadjutor of Mr . Daniel O'Connell ia all political measures , offensive and defensive . Bat " a change had come over the spirit of his dream" ; in fact , he was a renegade —( hear ) . Of course , Mr . O'Connell , the master of invective , was very severe on him , who bad really committed treason , when he was so unsparing in attacking Feargus O'Connor , whom no oae oould substantiate a specific offence against —( hear ) . No ; Mr . O'Connell said not a word against Lalor Shiel . 1 He was still his personal friend , but Mr . O'Connor had an unlucky falling out with Mr . O'Connell , and hence this hosulity- —( hear , hear ) . But was Shiel content With deserting the cause of the people ! No ; he had ia the late discussion on the

      Arms' Bill suggested , that instead of being tried by their peers , the peasantry charged with agrarian offences , should be tried by a jury selected from the landlord class—the grand panel" is tney called it ; that is by the very : parties who were at variance with them , and wished to crush them —( hear , hear ) . And when the Tory i class complained that it was as difficult to procure evidence , as it was to get a jury to convict ; he recommended that large bonuses should be offered to witnesses , and the prompt protection of the crown afforded them ; that in fact the spy and hired informer system should be adopted ,

      which produced a Delahunt , and that blood-money should be freely Bported amongst all who were heathens enough to swear away tbe lives of their countrymen and perjure themselves for gold—( hear , and cheers ) . Upon this man ' s conduct one word of . censure was never uttered ; the apostate friend of O'Connell was passed over ia partial silence , while tha consistent and fearless advocate of liberty with whom he had a personal quarrel , was denounced , and nations kept asunder to gratify a selfish spleen —( hear ) . If this be patriotism , from patriotism good Lord deliver us ! ( Mr . D . resumed his seat amid loud cheers . ) i

      The address having been unanimously adopted , Mr . O'Brien was called to the chair , and thanks having been given to Mr , Keegau , the meeting separated . ,
