      THE ADDBES 8 OF THE CHABTISTS MEETING IN" CHURCH-STREET , MANSFIELD , TO FEABGr 5 O'CONNOR , ESQ . Honoured Patriot asd Brother , —We hail vn&L the highest delight your fiist visit to our locality , since you emerged from the dungeons gloomy depths , ¦ srhither the factions had consigned you , in the-rain hope that they could stifle your ardour , and arrest your progress , in tha struggle for universal truth , and freedom , and happiness . Sir , the conflict that is now fiercely ¦ waging" between the semi-barbarous institutions of past azeB that have

      outlived their lime ; and the interests and intelligence of the mass of mankind has been animated and systemizid by your genius , and virtue , and wealth . Ton , Sir , have arranged the scattered elements of popular power , and tinght us that the intelligence and energy inheres in ourselves by which we are to establish universal principles . Hence we are not now the political tools of the titled factions who divide , the produce of our labour ; nor do we waste our energies in attempting to remove particular wrongs . No , Sir , -we aim at the root , th 6 primary cause of all our sufferings" The monopoly of political power held by the few . "

      Sir , your disinterested and herculean exertions would have entitled any man to our respect and deference . But , Sir , when we reflect that you were bom and educated an aristocrat , and see you rising superior to the prejudices inseparable from such circumstances , sacrificing honour , rank , and wealth , and identifying yourself with the trampled , and , uatil lately , despised multitude , we confess that these are irresistible claims upon our Esteem , our confidence , and our liveliest gratitude . ¦ Sir , we look upon the obtainment of political power as an indispensable prelude to the physical , moral , and intellectual greatness to which we believe our race is

      capable of attaining . We hold that the proper direction of the educational and industrial occupations of any people by an efficient popular Government ,-wonld ensure the absence of ninety-nine hundredths of the crime and misery that at present degrade society . And , Sir , in connecting your name with these magnificent results , we feel that we are transmitting it to posterity , ss one that will be remembered in companionship with the names of the great and good , in smo ranthine freshness , upon when grave forgetfulness shall sit mocking on the fallen fame of heroes and of Mugs . ilAE . K . Leatslet , Chairman .

      TEE ADDRESS OF THE EXECUT 1 TE COTJSC 1 L TO THE SUB-OFFICERS AND 3 IEMBER 3 OY THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . 3 Jb . ETHB . eu , —Again assembled for tbe performance of tke important dntiss entrusted to our hands , it is once more our pleasing duty to acquaint you with oui proceedings , and to place "before you tha resolutions "we have adopted for your future guidance , and foi the completion of the great and important movement already put forward , and sanctioned by your universal approbation . .

      The most agreeable part of our present duty is tc congratulate you all on the irresistible progress o : our cause . Events , since we last met , have don < much to excite in us the must sanguine expectations and to convince us that the labour of past days aw now producing ample rewaTd . The position into ¦ which the several political parties of the state hav . fceen thrown , through the operation of the firm anc unbending determination of our Chartist brother hood , now displays clearly and convincingly the cor

      Tectness of the policy tba \ has hitherto marked ou conduct . But a short tims since , while yet there re mained a lingering hope in the devotees of Whiggery we were generally declaimed against as the enemifc of all good , and the pursuers only of self-interest , a the expense of a suffering people . Now , however men of judgment and honesty discern our real mo tives , and the only hope of benefitting the masses the hand ol co-operation is everywhere tendered , ani it lies in our power speedily to effect tbe fullest mea sure of our pursuit

      Brethren , —A 3 cur position changes , we must su our plan of action to tbe exigencies that exist r ar having convinced all reflecting persons that we a never to be diverted from our purpose , we must , no show that where there is a sincere and honest desire i cnite for the promotion of the common good , we a ready to extend the hand of brothsily co-operatio But we must never be made the means to an iwju end ; we cannot submit to be the tools on . who shoulders factious and Belfiah usurers , shall be cacrif to the seat of power ; prompted only by a pure , sacred , an undjicg leva of cauctry and of kindred , •? must firmly contend for the full measure of justicctfca Charter . And whatever may be resolved upon , i must see iu far as bunsan foresight , aidedi > y experien and Teason , pan psnstrate the ettire amount of juiti wiiii ou reach

      Brethren , —We must also congratulate yon on tbe rapid extension of our association ; us will be seen by the statements in our address to the people , every day adds fresh increase to our ranks , and gives as greater cause to deem our efforts to promote organisation successful . We rejoice to find that our having , in our several addresses , exhorted the Chartist body to union , has gone far to subdue the spirit of dissension , and imparted In many hearts , hitherto dissatisfied and restless , a desire to "bear and forbear . " This being the case , we shall not on the present occasion particularise the very few remaining cases of disagreement ; but we once more invoke union and brotherly cooperation , urging these as absolutely necessary to the triumph of Chartist principles , now so rapidly progressing .

      In each of the cases brought by private communication under our notice , we find every obstacle to our interference , bnt not the slightest difficulty in the way of amicable arrangement by the parties immediately concerned . We hope , therefore , to be expected to say no more , and we look with confidence for a speedy adjustment of all disputes .

      THE COXVEXTIO > . The Convention is positively to assemble in London on Tuesday , the 12 th of April , 1842 . A desire on the part ef the Executive to give full effect to the operations of the People ' s Parliament , has led to this postponement . But it must be distinctly understood that no other delay will take place . ¦ Y It is an error on the part of tbe General Councillors and other officers of tbe Association , to defer matters of importance to the last moment . This neglect of duty too frequently embarrasses the Executive , and occasions delays and postponements that otherwise wonld not occur .

      It is therefore impressively urged on our Members , immediately upon the declaration of toe Ballot , to proceed to the election of members for tha Convention in public meetings , convened by hand-bills , in all populous parts of the several districts , to raise the necessary funds , ani to procure signatures to the petition . It is further resolved , that , all circumstances per mitting , the Convention shall sit tiiree weeks instead of ose month . This will diminish the funds required , in the proportion of j £ 3 to each representative , and render the expences much lighter .

      The people in all parts of the country axe earnestly requested to abide by the electoral and representative allotments already made . If this be not the case , disagreements may occur in the assembly of the Convention , which wili seriously affect the demonstration to be made . Cornwall , Davon , and Dorset , it appears , will be unable to send a delegate . We , therefore , recommend our friend 3 in this district to consider themselves represented by the Convention in general , and to contribute any amount of funds they can raise , to the general treasury , to assist such districts as may have a difficulty to contribute their fair proportion .

      SCOTLA > D . We earnestly impress on the Chartists of Scotland the propriety of signing the National Petition , and « f sending representatives to the Convention . The grounds of objection to the Petition are bo futile , that we cannot imagine they will influence to any great extent the conduct of our Scotch brethren . GEXERJL XUEASCBBB . We have appointed Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet Street , London , to receive moneys for the General Convention Fund . Mr . Cleave will publish weekly in the Star , Vindicator , < 5 "C ., an account of moneys received .

      THE PETITION . Our members in the various parts of the kingdom are particularly urged not to relax in their exertion to obtain signatures . Taking advantage of the present tone of public feeling , they may swell the numbers immensely , and add still greater strength to the People ' s cause . PRESENTATION OF THE PETITION . Previous to the presentation , Meetings will be held in every part of the Metropolis , and on the day of presentation an immense procession will accompany it to the House of Commons .

      yZXT XESIIXG OF THE EXECUTIVE . Unless circumstances urgently require it , the Executive will not re-assemble until the Convention meets . Should their combined services , however , be previously required , dua notice will be given of the time and place of sitting .

      GENERAL ARGUMENT . Brethren , —On your union , your industry , and energy , depends the success or failure of this important movement . We urge you , not with common earnestness , to be prompt and zealous , convinced that the result will yield ample reward . During the whole agitation for the Charter , no time more seriously demanded your most active exertions than the present . Look to the many indications of public feeliDg is our favour , and ask ourselves , ought we not at this time to display a firmness of union and strength , too strong to be defied , too important to be disregarded , all-commanding , and inspiring hope and joy in the breast of every anxious approver of our designs ?

      RmoItb at uuce , then , to take up with energy and determination , a work so honourable to yourselves , and so promising of a great and glorious reward . Yours , in the cause of liberty , P . M . Zl'&OUALh . J . lEACH . Morgan Williams . R . K . Puilp . J . Campbell , Secretary .

      THE HUMBUG TRAP . We last week warned the people against falling into the snare of the " extension" men . We have this we . k to laud the brave men of Sheffield , who anticipated our caution by driving the humbugs out of their cunning fastness , on tbo Friday , the day before our paper appeared . The Repealers played a deep game on that occasion . The resolution they proposed was the following one : —

      " Having lost all confidence m the Government and the House of Commons as at present constitat 3 d , and desiring not only the repeal of bad laws , but a guarantee for future good government , and fearing those unhappy outbreaks whieb must result from the continued oppression and starvation of the people ; T > eing also convinced that no effectual rvmeiiy \ rili be provided until it be placed hi thd pow ^ r of ttia people : This meeting is of opinion that the franchise ought to be extended to every man tweisty-on © years of age , of sound mind , untainted "with crime , with the security of secret voting , a-nd such other matters of detail as may bo found neceasaiy to the honest aud practical working out of the system . "

      Only think of this specious piece of special pleading being morcd by Palfhetman , the Whig attorney who prosecuted all the Sheffield Chartist victims ! Specious , however , as was the bait , and greasy as was the lawyer ' s red rag wrapped round it , the " lads" wouldn't swallow it . They brought out their amendment for the Charter , and the Charter only . This is the way to do the business . We repeat oar position of last week . Let not one

      of tbe people ever forget it . If these men have lost all hope from the House of Commons under any but a Charter suffrage , their continuance of the Repeal agitation is absurd and useless ; their whole energies shoald o& concentrated to the carrying of the Charter , as tue means necessary to their end ; if they neglect or hesitate to do this , they afford evidence that their agitation is insincere , and that their only purpose is to " use" the people , and then trample on and sell them .

      LetthD people now mark such of the middle-class men , the " Repealers , " and " extension" bawlers , as have become so suddenly converted te the Charter . Let them be deluded by these men into a jointagitation for Corn Law Repeal and the Charter ; and we tell them now that the Repeal will bo got , while the Charter will ba thrown overboard , and that then the power of the two factions will be again concentrated to crash the Chartists . A furious storm of persecution will follow ; and the very men who are now , in the effervescence of their new-born zeal for tbe Charter , moving and seconding resolutions for it in speeches of a French Revolution charaster , will be

      foremost of the vanguard of property" and " privilege "; the first to prosecute , hang , drown , and transport the Chartists . Nay , we tell them that they are even now forming their plans for the future attack ; that they are now deliberately setting oa their own incendiary praters to make cases of" illegal and seditious meetings" for which they hope to induce the Tories to prosecute the Chartists . Let us not be misunderstood . What we mean i 3 this . There is now a purpose among ito more forward and more crafty of the " repeal" and " liberal" party , if they cannot provoke the people to come in contact with the lawe , to do so themselves and lay the blame upon the peop e . Their purpose to iuname and stir up feelings of resentment among ( he people in tbe

      hope that outrage may ensue , is evident even from their indidious Sheffield resolution , in which they affect to " fear that outrage may ensue . " Now what should the villains fear % They know that the people will be quiet enough if they will let them—much too quiet for their purposes ; and hence the fiery harangues of their own tools are even now palmed on the Chartists , and pointed out to Government for prosecution in their own organs . We select one of them for the present—one that has an extensive circulation amongst , and that we believe possesses much of the confidence of the " Repealers" and " extension " men—the York Courant . That paper is now before

      as . We find in it a short notice of the meeting at Bradford , last week , in which the Chartists were gulled into a coalition meeting for Corn Law Repeal and the Charter . At that meeting , Mr . FoBBES , aCorn Law Repealer , an extension" man , and a rich middle clas 3 man , made one of the most violent and inflammatory speeches that we have read for a very long time . We certainly never read anything like it in any Chartist speech , not even in the maddest of the dog days of Governmental influence and spy agitation . Not a single word doe 3 the York Courant say about this speech of Mr . Forbes' ; but he says that among the speakers at the meeting was : —

      "Mr . Arran , a Chartist , who said it was for the middle classes to say whether the rights of the people should be obtained by bloodshed or without it " carefully printing the word " bloodshed" in italics ' Now supposing that Mr . Arran did use the expressions attributed to him , ( of which we require bettor evidence than the testimony of this rabid partizan writer before we believe it , )—what then ? Why should the York Courant single out that expression

      sever it from its context ; and take special care to say that it was used by "Mr . Arhan , a Chartist" 1 Is it not clear that the fiendly purpose is to invite tbe attention of the " strong Government" to the strong language of Mr . Fobbes , the middle-class extension man ; and so to make " Mr . Arran , the Chariist , " answerable and punishable for all his sedition 1 Was it not thus that poor Ashton , who is now languishing in Wakefield Hell , got two years' imprisonment for being present at an illegal meeting though he did not speak at all ?!

      We are determined that if the people do at this time sell themselves , it shall not be with closed eyes . They shall know their position . They 3 hall see what lies before them . We will warn them ; and if they will not heed us , we have at least delivered our own souls . If it be asked what we advise , we reply briefly—Have nothing at all to do with "Extension" or Corn Law Repeal . Suffer no resolutions on these subjects to pass at any public meetings . Negative them as fast as they are proposed , and stick to the Charter , and the Charter only . In this advice we are sustained by the delegates of South Lancashire , from whose excellent address we give the following passages , commending them to special notice : —

      " Brother Chartists , we emphatically call upon you to do your duty . At public meetings be firm > resolute , and determined . Allow fair discussion . Act as becomes men seeking your liberty ; raise no clamour or confusion , —let the middle class have this part of the business to themselves , —and at all and every risk stand upon your Charter . At all meetings publicly convened , be at your post . And the best way to test the honesty of the middle class is to enforce your amendments for the Charter . Do not be juggled , allow no compromise , but by sound argument and reason defend at every hazard the principles which it contains .

      " You are now arrived at a period when a false step might injure the cause you have so much at heart . If the middle classes are coming out to join the Chartists , see that there be no mistake about the matter ; and if they object to the Charter , then you will know what to think about them . The times are too serious to be trifled with ; we must be sober , active , and persevering ; every man must work as though the whole weight depended upon him .

      " In order , therefore , to guard against the misrepresentations of a factious press , you must not by any means allow the Charter to be a secondary measure ; nor must it be allowed to be appended to any other resolution . Try your strength at the beginning of the meeting , while the first chairman sits . Never let it be said that you elected another chairman to carry the Charter . Do everything honestly , fairly , legally , and properly , and triumph , and complete victory , is sure to be the result , and you will beheld up as men deserving to be free . The middle classes have already shewn signs of retreat ; follow them up , then ; and armed and stimulated as yon are by justice , virtue , and truth , you will oblige them to yield to a sensible and a determined people . "

      To these remarks we add another ; and it is this : At all publicmeetings , not only leave the clamour and confusion to the middle-class men , but watch them carefully in language and demeanour . Let nothing come from ns but fair and sound argument ; and if any one of the middle class dare insult a mooting of intelligent working men by sly insinuations of physical force , or by vapid spluttering firebrand stuff , suoh as many of the " Repealing " " Extension" gentry are now using , let him be at once admonished that it is seen through , and that " it won ' t do " . Let the people instantly treat him to a volley of hisses—nothing more ; let the Chartist leaders , if any be present / instantly

      appeal to the Chairman , and insist on decent and gentlemanly language being used by the speakers . Jf the Chairman neglect his duty , and this truculent language be still continued , let the meeting refuse to hear another word . Let this plan be taken , and be taken all over , and the " ash" of these gentry will bo " settled . " The people will at all events find what they really are . And we fear that they will find all their zeal for liberal measures and the people ' s rights to have been assumed for selfish purposes . In any case , if true to themselves , the people must succeed . Their only chance of failure is in suffering themselves to be again made an appanage of Whiggery .

      tion of the Whigsand Chartists for the destruction of monopoly , areworking on the old and known tactics of their party ; that they have employed creatures to do their bidding , to go from house to housed or from mine to mine , among the mountains . inflaming and exasperating the people secretly , and providing them with arms , for the purpose of handing them over to the " strong Government ' as a pretext for an onslaught on the shadowy forms of freedom , which yet still exist though in name only . One thing is certain , that the power of the people is feared alike by all factions ; and that they fear it just in proportion to its reasoning calmness and organised firmness . They will go

      every length ( they will stick at nothing to break in upon our phalanx . Let then the people mind what they are about . The times were never more , critical than txow—every artifice that Hell can furnish is in requisition to destroy them . Let them readand hear the spouting ravings of the Whig repealers and " extension" men at their several meetings—filled With incendiary insinuations and inflammatory denunciations from end to end—while yet if but a Bingle one of them should suffer himself to be led into the folly of acting on the advice tendered to him , he would find his vociferous friends to be the very men who , sitting on juries and grand juries , would sentence tbe " violent and dangerous Chartist" to imprisonment or transportation .

      Let the people then beware ! Let them go right on with their own agitation for the Charter peacefully but determinedly / as they have hitherto done . Let them take care that no other agitation shall be carried dN in their NAME . Let the Charter —• the whole Charter—and nothing but the Chartery until that be obtained , be their reiterated cry at all public meetings and in all ; petitions ; but let them do all peacefully—as peacefully as they last week ejected Mr . Baines from the seat of honour to which he aspired in the Court House ; where without a particle of pre-concert , without a single violent expression or hard word , without deigning to

      waste words at all upon him , their uplifted hands settled the matter in a moment . Let them adopt this plan iu every thing . Let them quietly , but surely—peacefully * but unmisjtakeabiy—chuck overboard everything but the Charter . But let them , as we always did advise , spurn from them , a 3 a wretch who seeks only to betray them , every man who even hints at secret clubs , at muskets , at stack firing , or at any other procesg than that of morally and peacefully concentrating their energies for the attainment of their own rights without infringing upon those of others . We know that plans are " being laid for

      THEIR ENTRAPMENT J AND WE TRUST TO THEIR PRUDENCE AND PERSEVERANCE TO SEE THE INFERNAL MONSTERS FOILED AND LAUGHED AT .

      CHARTIST LECTURERS . We know not a more decidedly useful and patriotic body of men at the present time than this . The proud position of the people as to intelligence on matters of moral and political right is owing in a great moasure to their labours and exertions . But as it always happens , the lynx eye of corruption soon discovers an effective spring of action , and as soon labours to appropriate or pervert it . We have good reason to believe that there are now more than one of the tools of faction seeking to worm themselves into the graces and . good opinions and confidence of

      the unsuspecting people as lecturers' . Some living by it as an easy trade . Some pretending to follow ( Occupations wbioh lead them through various parts of the country , and to be so full of zeal forthe good cause , that whenever they can get an opportunity of addressing the Chartists they embrace it ; the staple of their speeches being , in some instances , specious sophistries , carefully strung together , and calculated to entrap the simple-minded into the hands of the Anti-Corn Law League ; in other cases , artful and malicious tirades against the people ' s leaders

      and laborious , though well-disguised , efforts to sow discord in our ranks ; and , in other cases , rascally attempts , by violent firebrand language , to commit their unthinking heavers to t , he crime of "illegal assemblies , " and " seditious language . " All these , and a thousand other tricks as low and mean , are constantly resorted to by the enemies of justice , to retard the course of our unconquerable agitation for right . This evil may be well met by the universal adoption and practice of the plan resolved on by the delegate meeting at Halifax last Sunday .

      . ' ¦" ' ¦ ' That any lecturer , wishing to visit this district , shall correspond with the District Secretary to that effect , and await his answer . " '' That all lecturers will be requested to produce their credentials from the sub-Secretary of the Association they profess to belong to . . ¦' . ¦ : ¦ ¦ .. ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ . ¦ ¦ : .. ¦ . ¦ . . We commend these resolutions to universal approbation . They are evidently calculated to secure the safety of our cause .

      THE DUNDEE CHRONICLE . Nothing affords us more pleasure than to be able , if we have unwittingly done or said any thing calculated to injure a neighbour , to afford reparation . In our last number , a note to correspondents appeared , having reference to Mr . R . J . Richardson , in which we say "he is the Editor of a professedly Chartitt newspaper . " We have since that received a letter from Mr , Carrie , the manager of the Dundee Chronicle , informing us that Mr . Richardson has now no connection With that paper ; that his connection with it ceased about three weeks

      ago ; and that it is now edited by Mr . J . O . Lamont , formerly of the Scottish Patriot Oflice , Glasgow We certainly did refer to the Dundee Chronicle as the " professedly Chartist paper , " of which Mr . Richardson was Editor . Mr . Richardson ' s accession to that paper was made by its managers matter of publio announcement ; and , &b we were not aware that any public announcement of his disconnection from it had appeared , we , of course , took it for granted that he still conducted it . Hence our designation of it as a " professedly Chartist paper "; for until Mr . R . J . Richardson shall

      have met and satisfactorily answered the black charges of treachery and villany distinctly preferred against him by his own townsmen , we can h * ve no faith , either in him or in any paper of which he may have the oonduoting . Most gladly therefore do we make the announpement for our Dundee friends , that their paper i& no longer in the hands of such a man , but in those of Mr . J . O . La MoNT , whomwe know to have a considerable share of talent , and whom we believe to be as good a Chartist as can live . In such hands , we hope to find in the Dundee Chronicle a helpmate in the good work , worthy of our most > cordial approbation ; and we shall hope

      not less to see the good men and true of Scotland remembering that their own local organ is the property of working men , that it is devoted to their cause and interests , and deserving of their best support . We were most sorry , but not at all surr prised , to hear that for spmo time the Dundee Chronicle has been declining . We have no doubt that its rise will be npw more rapid than its decline has ever been ;; and that we shall henceforth find it , like ourselves , clothed in the panoply of publio con ^ fidence , and fighting-by our side the battles of the people -against fraud , treachery , corruption , and oppression , in all their numerous and hateful forms .

All these are matters for our consideration , and for the exercise of our discretion and judgment , which , we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , without fear or favour to any one , and Without being allowed to be turned for one instant from its course by ill-natured snarls or bickerings .

Several old agents , who certainly ought to know better , have often thus needlessly inconvenienced us ; we , therefore , beg that all parties having money to send to the Sfar Office for papers , by order , will make their orders payable to Mr . John Ardill ; if they neglect this , we shall not hold ourselves bound to at- ? tend to them ; t / V therefore , they find their neglect to produce inconvenience to themselves , let them not blame us .

      To Agents . —A great portion of the Orders of our Agents which should be in our office on Thursday , at latest , havo for several weeks back come on the Friday ; nearly all the Scotch Agents ' Orders liave come ou the Friday often . Thia may be occasioned by the delays of the mails , owing to the weather , but there certainly is iio reason why the Agents at Hull , Liverpool , and even Barnsley and Bradford , should send their Orders to reach the Ofiice just at the time the papers are going put of it . Any Orders not in the Office on Thursdays cannot be attended to : and any papers returnod in consequence of orders being late will not be credited .

      Mr . Robert Cruthers , News Agent , Newcastle , and his Accounts at this Office . —Wehave received , by the Newcastle post , a , document , purporting to emanate from "the friends of the Northern Star , whose names are enclosed " giving great credit to : Mr . Cruthers for his efforts and sacrifices to sustain the Northern , Star in his neighbourhood , and protesting , in strong terms , against some alleged ill usage of that person in reference to his accounts at this office , about which it seems there is some dispute between him and our financial manager . The document is in the handwriting of Mr . Cruthers ; or at all events in the same handwriting as many letters which we have received bearing that person ' s

      signature . The names enclosed are upon icry dirty slips , apparently cut from some old petition sheets , to the number of , 112 ; including among them " Robert Cruthers , Shakspeareslreet , " '' ThomasHorn , Afarket-streei , " > Thos . Gray , Grey-street" William Byrne and F . W . Hume , 1 , Cloth Market ; ' and "John Blakey , Side" All these pdrliesi and others , to the number of 112 in all , are made to " repudiate with disgust" a notice in our last , referring the readers of the Star * n Newcastle , who mightno yet have received medals and plates due to them to Messrs . France and Co ., from whom they might receive them , and to "claim their medals and plates off Mr . Cruthers . " Now , supposing

      this list of 112 names to have been genuinely attached by the parlies to the document within which they were enclosed , we can then only tell these parties that the affair is one in which ice cannot interfereidndinwhichwecannot acknowledge their right to interfere . The financial affairs of this office are in the hands of a gentleman uhom we know , and who we know will do right . Any disputes as to matters of money accounts between him and Mr . Cruthers , are matters with which the subscribers have nothing at all to do . Their only business is to look to the fulfilment of our engagement to provide plates and medals for , them . Tfiat was done by our notice in last week ' s Star . We have provided

      plates and medals for all subscribers and we think that the least privilege we can claim in the matter is that of saying that they shall not be had through the hands of an agent who does not pay his accounts . . We said this in the most delicate manner possible , hot assigning the reason for the reference of Mr . Cruther s subscribers to another agent for their plates and medals . We should notnow have done soiifthis " repudiation with disgust" had not compelled us . Wehave written this on the supposition that the names enclosed are genuine signatures to Mr . Cruthers ' s document ' ¦ '" ; but there is quite enough of evidence on the face : of the slips on which the " names enclosed" arc written to convince us that the whole is a ? i impudent fabrication .

      SPIES ABROAD ! PEOPLE BEWARE ! Ii * the Manchester Guardian , of Ia 8 t Wednesday , appears the following extract : — " Merth ? r . —There is a report very prevalent tbat the Chartist * are again on the move ; meetings are held every night , and a club is also in existence , where each member pays a certain sum monthly , for buying muskets and ammunition . No less than six hundred muskets arrived at Merthyr last week , which were sold to the members of the club at 13 s . each . This is ominous , and we are extremely afraid that , were a rise to take place , numbers would join the infatuated wretches , as many are in actual want of food-, and the distress and poverty existing in the neighbourhood is dreadful . —Carmarthen Journal . "

      Now , whether this be a Whig or Tory lie , it may be somewhat difficult to say ; but that it is a lie , hatched and propagated by one or both factions there can be no manner of doubt . The Welsh Chartists have had enough of spy outbreaks . They will not again be led into the snare . W « have no fears for them as a body ; but in large public bodies there aTe always some individuals whose want of penetration or of patience may make them the unwitting tools of villany ; and it is for fear that there should be in WaleB but one working man of this character , who might be sacrificed by the monsters , that we notice this fiend-like trick .

      It may be a mere Whig he . It may be that the wretches think that they are carrying the hoax a little too far , and they are in danger of raising up a monster in the Charter agitation , which will yet destroy them—and that hehoe this "bugaboo" of physical force and secret clubs and muskets is revived to deter the more timid from coming over to the Chartist camp too fast or too fully . It may be that the Tories , who are now in power , seeing nd fearing the approaching jjunc-
