      Mt Bkloved Fkiesds , —The time is fast approa ching w ^ ^ tar ^ " k ^ ble must burst 5 * the effsct wiich its failure wili prodnee , —for fail j . jnii—will very speedilj be made manifest in the disorganisation of what ba 3 been , called civilised society . Don't misunderstand me . The anticipations of Sir Robert Feel will be fully realised as regard ? a f&Uj and a considerable fall , in prieeBj but the re daction will be felt in the wholesale market only ; it will not visibly affect the retail market . Thus it will hare a positive as well as a negative

      tendency to create dissatisfaction . The redaction in thepiice of livestock , wheat , and gras 3 produce , will considerably reduce the Talue of land . This will damp ihe loyalty of landed proprietors , and have a positive effect cpoo : ^ e ^ *? & * course ; while the failure of the measure in reducing the Tetail price of food will shear it of all popular approval . Now , if a butcher bays a beast of six hundred pounds weight at areduction of £ 6 , ia conseqnence of the tariff ; and if the present price of beef be 7 d . per lb . ; the reduction of £ 1 P « r 1001 b . in the price of the beaett would enable him to sell the beef at witbin a fraction of

      2 ^ 3 . per . under 7 d . ; that is , at 4 ^ d . per . But think you he- will make that abatement \ No ; nor yet a fraction of a farthing for some time , until either competition among butchers , or combination of consumers to buy and slanghter for themselves , shall by degrees , and very slowly , force the butcher to a trifling reduction ; but neTer to one half of the relative wholesale abatement in the price of live stock . Now keep that in your mind , because 1 mean to use it as a case strictly analagons to that which a repeal of the Corn Laws would present . If a fall in the wholesale price of live stock would n&t present a corresponding reduction in the retail

      price of meat , what guarantee or assurance would the consumer of bread have , that a fall in the price of wheat would produce a corresponding reduction in the price of bread ? N / one whatever ; and thus , my friends , we at once discover the inability of the Government of an artificial state of society to give the real stamp to their own measares ^ Tiewever beneficent , just , and equitable , their intentions may be . Here we find Sir Robert Peel , whose measure is bold , and intended to be sweeping , unable to produce any other result than the odium and suspicion of his own party , and the disappointment of the people .

      Havel nottoldyou ten thousand times , when replying to the fallacies of the " cheap bread" men , that it was wholly and entirely out of the power of any government to regulate the retail price of focd by Act of Parliament ; while I have also shown you that society i 3 not without its remedy ; and the only remedy , under heaven , is io make so large a portion of society their otm producers as would render them , and all through the extensive market of their surplus produce , independent of the speculators in human food . Again ana again , I repeat the fact .

      In my first letter upon the tariff I told yon that it would effect a considerable reduction in the prices of most articles ; but I told you also that nothing short of the People ' s Charter would turn the alteration to your advantage . I how repeat that assertion ; while I lament to think that it is only out of the evil which the promised good will produce that any ultimate benefit can arise to society at lar ^ e . Yes ; from the disappointment of the landed proprietors and the people will spring an amount of confusion which few can contemplate ; while the increased demand upon the middling classes for war expences will swallow np much more than the largest amount of savings that the tariff will yield

      to them . Now , just for a moment think of the worse than brutality of paying in three years more than thirteen millions sterling as the first instalment for our foreign conqnest over the brave , the simple , the innocent , and peaceful Aff ^ hanistans 1 Th&t amount is but the first instalment , while our conqnest promises to be a defeat . I ask if this be jus * or Christian , or whether it be right to carry our desolating new inventions for the destruction of human life among the Chinese , a people anxious to live in peace with all the world ? But especially I ask , if this squandering of life and money c&n be justified , or even tolerated , while hundreds of thousands of our brave people are actuilly perishing for want of the humblest fare I

      England , with ail her wealth , has become a vast sea-bound dungeon , filled with starring paupers Her martial glory abroad is tarnished , and her only domestic greatness is to be seen in a gorgeous soldiery and in a military police , whose warm backs , flushed cheeks , and comfortable homes , furnish a Bad and striking contrast to the naked bodies , palid faces , and wretched hovels , of those whose voices they are hired to smother , and upon whose very miseries they live !

      How often have I told you , that hunger , like the water , would find its level . How often have I reminded you , that York , without its machinery , could not draw a M cordon sanataire" around its walls , and say to prowling poverty— thus far Ehalt iaon go , but no farther . " How many times have I assured the comparatively happy villagers , that their peaceful resting place could not be the one fair spot , bidding defiance to the raging plague ! And is it not bo I Has not the searching eye of desolation ferretted out the last remaining hamlet ! and has not the griping hand of taxation been stretched forth for

      the peaceful villager ' s contribution towards the shedding of his fellow ' s blood , to swell our foreign conquests , and make us a great nation ? Alas ! my friends , even the ocean furnishes no bounds to man ' s rapacity . No ; for in the accounts from poor Ire land , we find that while an able-bodied man in _ full and in the best employment can earn no more than eigbtpence per day , he is obliged to pay Eevenpencehalfpenny for fourteen pounds of potatoes ! That is two pooEds of dry potatoes per day for a man , his wife , and family , say of five children ; and to pay rent , and supply clothes , and fuel , and

      EDUCATION out of hi 3 savings . 0 GREAT NATION O most migaty nation of plundered paupers and plundering rascals 1 0 most civilized and enlightened priesthood 1 0 most Christian ministers of Christ ' s religion ! 0 most pious ruffians , when will your sympathy bsgin I orfwhenlwili God's vengeance overtake you in your race of benevolence !! 0 Mr . AUon-ej-General give me bui one month ' s fling at the eaemie 3 of miakiud , of peace , law , and order , with au assurance that you will not prosecute mt

      tos the tbcth , and I will draw for yon a picture which tee devil himself would blush to icos upon ! Bat in . lae midst of sJl this suffering , still peace reigns , and life and property is secure . Thanks be io God for that . Yes , my friends j the police of Ireland , armed as soldiers , and dressed as rifle-men , were compelled to look on peaceably , while the Starring men of Wexford anloaced a sloop laden with potatoes , and bound for Liverpool , and the potatoes were sold in the marke ; at a reduction of lid .

      per stone . Yes , ihe police were peaceable , and looked on while the people quietly asserted their rights to be first partakers of the frnit 3 of their own labour . They bought the potatoes , and though at a reduced , yet at an exorbitant price . I often told you that the moral force Irish would'nt Eland much nonsense ; and I trust that ihe Pacificator General and bis staff will immediately take effectual means for preserving the fame order that my " wild followers" have observed through many seasons of vhe most trying and galling privation . Lenne now , my friends , point out to yon those

      cncumstacces which , above all others , foment and Perpfctnats legislative discon ? eat . I will bigin with Piggery and the Whigs . That political party is defuse ; as a representative body—Thank God for that . The reason why they have no back is this wben we knocked them down , their own party fa ' eked them for falling . They were willing to cling to them while in office ; although the Wliigs in power never represented the Whig constituences , nor yet a tithe of the electoral body . There is a great difference between the theory of Whiggery and the

      practice of a Whig Government , The Whigs in cfi . ee did not go far enough for the majority of the Whig electors . This is fully proved by the fact of Russell and his Government , making a great merit of reducing the duty on foreign corn to 8 s . per quarter , while ninety-nine in every hundred of the Whig electors were for a total repeal of the duty . How has practical Whiggery fallen by Chartist bands , while the theoretical Whigs who thought themselves insulted , but awaited the first blow to insure their former friend's defeat ' Now the dif-

      ference between the theory and practice of Toryism ifl exactly the reverse , inasmuch , as the Tory constituencies declare that their Government goe 3 too far for them . In fact , had Lord John Russell and the Whigs proposed Peel ' s tariff , the Tories , if no other means had been at their disposal , would have stopped the supplies : so that we may say with the Poet"O , what a contradiction is man ! What in another he one moment spurns , The next he does himself complacently . "

      In the midst of all this chaoa , my friends , the oppo sition is being marshalled ! and it must be our business to take care that the brave , the nunly , the eloquent , and consistent democrat , who came to our aid when we were spurned by all , and who did not wait till we had become powerful , shall in the struggle for leadership remain our head , our general , and our chief . None shall rob him of the laurels of his" manly stand in the people ' s cause . We will give him a power and an importance which so monarch caa bestorr , and oi which faction shall not deprive him .

      The next great change of political parties will be this : all persona with accumulated readymade wealth , all landed proprietors , acd etateehnreh cormorants , all fund-holders , ¦ bankers , and . rich meronants , together with the leviathans of machinery , and head * of professions , will nock to the standard of Toryism ; while the dissenters and the industrious of all classes will range themselves under the banner of Chartism ; and then the battle begins in the House of Commons ! Then , like an electrio spark , the fervor will be communicated to the pile of ripe opinion outside ! Away will go the rotten Jabrio , which all

      attempts to patch has but weakened . ' while its ruin will be hastened by the internal dissensions of the new adherents to Toryism ; for , believe me , that nothing but the dread of a bolder foe will prevent the disappointed landlords from falling foul of the chnrcb , the fund lords , and all persona of fixed incomes , whose bonus will be carved out of the landlord ' s ruin . In this state of things the pnblic mind will not long allow the publio affairs to remain ; and , as public opinion cannot be driven back , onward it must go . Let us remain on the watch , and be prepared to take advantage of our oppressors difficulties !

      Ever your faithful friend , and devoted Servant , Feasgos O'Connor , Thursday , June 9 th , 1 S 42 . P . S . —My friends , keep your eyes upon Nottingham . We have every reason to expect the immediate issue of the writ , and then we must and will return Sturge . Had I been aware that my time could have been devoted otherwise than to Nottingham this week , the state of tho weather would not have allowed me to call meetings in doors , nor to have subjected myself and my hearers to Ihe destroying influence of a burniag sun . When the election at Nottingham is over , and the weather becomes more cool , then I shall start upon my tour of inspection . F . O'C .

      Gentlemen , —Having been called upon to act as Delegates representing the various localities of this great metropolis , we feel ourselves feound to address you upon the importance of your co-operation in carrying out the recommendations of the " late Convention , ' in further organizing London and its district . Confident tbat our past conduct and success will insure to us that eupport ¦ w nich iB necessary for the advancement of Ch-artism , it needs little or so appeal on out part to 70 a , who are already convinced of the principles of too People's Charter , bnt -we must remind you of the motto so frequently used by men advocating the cause of liberty , that " United we stand , divided we fall "

      the-prey of . our enemies and tte enemies of liberty ; by the support we nave received from you ire have in twelve months aroused London from one of the most apathetic to one of the foremost cities in the cause oi liberty and the Charter , and this has been done at a less expense th&n was incurred at the great Kersall Moor meeting . We have raised from the ranks of the ¦ working classes , a number of ardent Lecturers in the cause of human redemption , who have been rewarded by the Bteady co-operation of their fellow-men , for the Tnnny sacrifices they have made : and now , Gentlemen , ire ask yon still to fee firm irith us in the cause of liberty ; and London shall be the envied and admired -post of Chartism . " For he vho values liberty confines His seal for her predominance within No narrow bounds ; her cause engages him Wherevei pleaded—tis the cuse of man . "

      It is not no-w a time for petty jealousies to obtrude among the associates of-popular rights , or for any tc secret themselves in their dosetB , instead of manfully upholding their sentiments . A great public question is at stake , and " be who is not with us is against us . " We have to determine 'whether class legislation , with its notorious eorrnptura and abomination , shall continue at the expellee of a starving people ; we have to determine whether the abuses of the Church of England shall remain untouched , or the religion of that Church shall be preached pure and nndeflled—whether a property tax shall be instituted , or the industrious poor deprived of more than half their Email pittance to' suppor t an haughty oligarchy , who have treated with contempt three millions of tneir

      fellowmen , whose interest they were bound to protect ; in shor t , we have to determine whether despotism or liberty , misery or happiness , shall exist at home , war Gr peace abroad . These are important considerations ; and he wao does not take it to heart is unworthy the name ef an Englishman or a Briton ; mtacs arc possessed of rendering this country the greatest among nations , and the natural industry of our ccnntryir . en untrammelled from the present system of exorbitant taxation would be a sure warrant cf their well being , while attended with health acd strength ; their generotity a dependence for honest old age . Then , friends , ¦ we call upon you to btstir yourselves st this critical period of your country ' s fate ; adopt the remcDS'rsrjce arsd mtBiorial of the late Convention , and fnrijlsh to as the means of carrying on the agitation which , \ riih your approval , we -will prosecute with redoubled Zral ,

      and show by your unanimity that you are strong ; by your peaceable conduct that you are atvare of theimportance of the task that devolves upon you . Tht time now presents itself foryou to effect a bioodless . yetoseof the siicit glorious revolutions ever recorded by the frail hand of man . If you lose this opportunity , not only may yon , bnt your children aod children ' s children , be doomed to drag the heavy chains of Blavery ; the rights of conscience may be disowned ; the altars cf yotfr Grod dishonoured ; and your homes , which onght to be the seat of happiness , thus rendered the harbours of miBery and degradation . The Charter , which is the panacea for the existing evils , can only be obtained by union ; therefore , be firm , and attach ycur . « elvts to those whom ytu have tried , and who have straggled for and protected the glorious cause of Chartism from the iujarieg of professing friends and open fees .

      RANXEY AND SHELTON ( Staffordshire Potteries . )—The members of the association in this place have removed their place of meeting to . the Sea Lloa Inn , Hanley . It las been proposed that lectures shall be given here periodically , and every j&eaus used for the propagation of our principles . Muob ; good may be expected from the change now resolved uspb . KawiCK—Owing to an error in the Star , fixing the time for this placa to be visited at ten instead of one o'clock , disappointment as well as delay occurred . Nevertheless , at about five o ' clock a numerous assembly of " workies , " amongst whom were a large number of colliers , were addressed by Messrs .

      SkevingKra , Smart , and Baker , the people frequently responding to the sentiments ^ expressed by the speakers . Miss Baker read"a part of Mr . Watkins ' s Sermon , which was attentively listened to . At the close of'the . meeting three hearty cheers were given for the Charter . It was ako arranged for Mr . Smart to visit them next Monday , be living not more thau three miles from them . He is fixed in the centre of a very wide field of population , where Chartism is but little known , save by a few Stars that set among them , and a few tracts tbat Mr . Skevingtoa has sent . It is hoped he will not negloct its culture , but do all he can .

      Barkoldswick . —We have received the following communication , which we give fust as we received it : —All is excitement Jjere i vne authorities have drawn the military from Colne , along -with two magistrates from Gar ^ rrave , owip £ to a rumonr having gone abroad that the Chartists were going to hold a public meetin ^ aud >» U to be armed , which was a complete falsehood . It all arose from some petty tyrants of farmers going along with the relieving officer , to the room where he pays the people the seas ; and those farmers upbraided the paupers , and told them they were too idle to work ; when tho fact is , that they cannot get work ; and the work that is to be got , they cannot earn upon an average two shillings per week . The majority of the ratepaupers were dissatisfied at a few farmers going to sit thete and upbraiding the paupers . The soldiers ,

      when they arrived in town , came with drawn swords and fixed bayonets , went down to the committee room , paraded and guarded the Fteps with the point of the bayonet , and would not allow any person to go up , only such persons as the magistrates and guardians thought proper , and they allowed the petty tyrants still to remain in the place . All the principal part of the inhabitants were disgusted at their proceedings ; but this will have opened the eyes of the people ; when the people asked for bread they sent them guns and bayonets to satisfy their hunger with . We have heard that the soldiers were sent for to Colne from Burnley Barracks , and from Preston to Burnley . All passed qaierly off , as soon as they had done paying ; and the people hope that the day of retribution would soon come , when they would have their just rights .

We expected to have had a substitute , and the utmost aDXiety prevailed , previous to the arrival of the coach , to know who would come . Nobody arrived but our old friend W . Mogg , who had been at WolveThampton to procure a substitute from there , in

      case no one came from Birmingham , but he was disappointed , as Mason was at Dudley . At seven o'clock , between 5 , 000 and 6 , 000 pernons were present , to whom we were obliged to state our disappointment . They appeared very muoh dejected ; but our friend Mogg addressed them in a very enlivening strain . He used h \ a utmost efforts , . &tvd with great success , to raise their dejected spirit ? , and the meeting passed off with great satisfaction . Three cheers were given for the Charter , three cheers for our tried friends , O'Connor and O'Brien ; three for Frost , Williams , and Jonea ; and three for oar worthy friend Mogg .

The room , capable ' of holding eight hundred persons , was crammed to suffocation , and many were compelled unwillingly to depart . An open air meeting having been convened for Monday evening on a large apace of ground adjacent to the Exchange , a large concourse of people assembled long before the time of meeting , who evinced a great deal of anxiety as to the result , it being the first opes air meeting held in this town since the 13 th of August , 1839 .

      Leeds TovvnCooncil . —An adjourned quarterly meeting of this body was held ou Wednesday last , at which it was resolved to present tho Queen with a congratulatory address on her escape from tho late treasonable attempt (?) on her life . The address was ordered to be sent to the Secretary of State for presentation . On this occasion , Mr . Alderman Tottie , the \ leader" in Court matters , was absent from the Council by severe indisposition ; his place was filled by Alderman Luccock . The following business was also done : —The Town Clerk read a letter from Seoretary Sir James Graham , approving of the inientum of the Town Council to build a separate gaol for the Borough , and recommending aa

      application to the : LordB of tho Treasury for the loan qf inoney . After some discussion a Committee was appointed to consider the " sabjeot of beiter Pti $ 3 iffico accommodation for the Borough , ahi £ rW report tp - ' / the next meeting of Council , On the motion of Alderman Lupton , seconded by Mr . Howard , fcha Committee for repairs wera authorised to expend not more than £ 150 iu the cleaning , painting , &c . of the Court House . Tho Priutijfg Committee reported that from £ 120 to £ 130 would be saved by estimating for the- Coanott's printing , and oa the motion of Mr . Kelsall , seconded by . Mr , Wbitehead , Messrs .

      Adjourned . Vestry Meeting . —The adjoM-ned vestry meeting , on the subjeoifc of the New Improvement Bill i was held on . Wednesday evening -Isst , at seven o ' clock , Mr . Roberts in tho chair . Notwithstanding that the Improvement Commissioners had failed to give any public notice , there was a tolerably numerous attendance . Mr . Hobson being called upon by the chairman , made afew observations , and laid before the meeting the circumstances under which they were assembled , deserted entirely by the legal gentlemen who atthe first meetings had taken so prominent a part , and fought so bravely for the loaves and fishes ; he detailed , also , the step 3 taken by the magistrates and town council in their efforts , before a Committee of tha House of

      Commons , to obtain for themselves the patronage which the Bill , if it passed iuto a law , would throw into their hands . That patronage had , by the Committee of the House of' Commons , been vested in the Town Council , which , as a choice of evils , was free from the objections which existed against the magistracy , who were an irresponsible body , and when once appointed , could not bo removed . He understood also that tha Committee had negatived the clause which providedthatnot more than £ 500 should be expended m any one improvement in ono year . After these prefatoryobservationSjJheproccodcdtoread apetition which the Committee appointed at a former meeting had drawn up , and forwarded to William Beckett

      Esq ., for presentation ; a copy of this petition will be found in another column . In conclusion he suggested that perhaps it would be well for the meeting to again adjourn , as , notwithstanding the Commons might pass the Bill , it would have to go to the House of Lords , where perhaps it would be found that the inhabitants of Leeds had more friends than they had in the House of Commons . Mr . Frazer made a few observations , after which , on the motion of Mr . WiHiata Wadoj seconded by Mr . Francis . JacksonV the thanks of the meeting were carried by . acclamation to the coBimittje for their excellent petition , and they were requested to continue their services , in the event of a similar document being

      inquired to be sout to the House of Lords . Mr . Hobson then moved that the meeting bo adjourned for a month , bat this , ; after sbmo discussion , was amended ; aadMr . Eddisonj the Town Clerk , having entered the room , Mr . Hobson begged of him to tell them in what fitato the bill was . Mr . Eddison immediately "Complied as far aa he was able , saying that he had left London , in haste , after the bill had passed through the committee on Monday , and ho had not had a sight of the manuscript . He should be glad to answer any question , but thought it perhaps would be more satisfactory if they waited until they got printed copies of the Bill . It was expected to be printed by Monday or Tuesday , and he should have in of it

      pleasure handing over copies to the Chairman . The burial ground question was to be the eubjeot of a separate bill , and tho clause eni-Dowerins ihe Commissioners to borrow £ 50 , 000 had been altered to givethem the power of borrowing £ 100 , 000 . Mr . Hobson inquired if it was true that the clause limiting the annual expenditure on one improvement to £ 500 had been expunged , to which Mr . Eddison haying replied inthoafSrinative , Mr . Hobson said that it was only on condition that this clause was inserted tliat | the meeting had consented to their going to Parliament at all , and by expunging it faith had been broken with the ratepayers . He then handed to Mr . Eddison a copy of tho petition previously read , stating that it had been Bent to Mr . Beckett for presentation when the Bill

      was brought up for a third reading . Some discussion then endued as to the time to which the adjournment should be made . Mr . Hobson thought a month would be soon enough ; other geiitlomeu thought different ; and on Mr . Eddison being appealed to , he said it was probable the bil might be in tho House of Lords by the 24 th ; it waa ultimately agreed , therefore , that the meeting should be adjourned to Wednesday evening , the 22 nd instant , ( next Wednesday week , ) at the Court House , at seven o'clock , and the Improvement Commissioners wore again referred to the face that they / had originally caikd the meeting , and the Chairmau was empowered to request that they would give publio notice of such adjournment . This was agreed to , and the meeting adjourned at nine o ' clook .

      Botanical Gardens . —The first fashionable promenade lor the present season , in these delightful grounds , took place on Wednesday last , when , by the permission of Gol . St . Quintin , the splendid band of the 17 th Lancers was present , whp played in a , very superior style a great many difficult pinoes chiefly from the works of Italian and German composers , with { the Russian waltzes by Labitzky , and which reflected credit on their talented leader , Mr . B . Suffrin . The weather was beautiful in the extreme ,

      though perhaps rather too sultry lor promenading ; the numerous and fashionable company , however , enjoyed a ' rich treat .- We are : g } a . d . to hear that the band is to . ; be , present oh Wednesdays throughout the season , and that on Wednesday nexfc their performances will commouoe at five o ' clock and continue until eight . This Will afford an opportunity for more of the inhabitants enjoying thelaxury of so deliglitful a promenade . The subscription for carrying on the gardens ( and saving the inhabitants of Leeds from the disgrace : of

      having to dispose of them ) we hear proceeds ma satisfactory manner . May we point out to the Council how they may not only avoid the disgrace , but enable themselves Bpeodily to announce a dividend on their paid-up capital ? Juet quietly open then on a Sunday ( and on other days too ) , to the working classes , attlireepenco each , instead of sixpence , and there will be no fear about incurring any disgrace . The disgracenow is , that they are ..-nearly a sealed book to the only class who will ever make them profitable .

      Robbery in a Public House . —On Thursday last , a man named Joseph Sutoliffo was ' broughtup at the Couit Houre , on a charge of having stolen a sovereign and two shillings and sixpence , from the parson of au old man , named John ArmUag * , residing on York Road , ' 'on . the previous evenir . g It appeared that the prosecutor , who was somewhat worse for liquor , went into the Harewood Arms , on Wednesdayevemng , and called for aglass of& \ e , which the prisoner said he would fetch ; he brought in tic ale , for which Armitage refused to pay , and Sutciiffpj saying he would have it by one maans or

      other ; 8 eizsd him , and in tha soiiflta they both fell . Sutchffe then got hold of the man ' s breeches pocket , which he tore completely away , and rati out of tbe house , throwing ,- ' as / he wentj the pocket at the back of a door . He was taken soon after , ana then admitted that he had taken the pocket , but denied that it contained more than ono shilling It appeared id' tho magistrates that he might have seemed the other money , as the prosecutor swore distinctly that he had a sovereign , two Ehillings , and a sixpence ; and , under these circumstances , the prisoner was committed for trial .

      Leeds District . —In this quarter Chartism is spreading far and wide , it is bow taking deep root where previously it was unknown . The quiet parson-riddpa town of Rothwell , about four miles from Leeds , has this last week been in a complete state of excitement , regarding the Chartists and Chartism . One : of the Hunslet Chatists went last Saturday evening and announced that a Chartist lecture would be delivered at Rothv ? ell-bauk , on Sunday night , at six o ' clock ; the intelligence spread like

      wilctfire , and accordingly a numbor Leeds friends went at the time appointed ; but the authorities were alarmed , and were determined that the Chartists should not preach their " pestiferous ^ doctrines in the peaceful village of Rothwell . On Sunday inorning they hired , ( at the church , it is said ) eleven men to assist the constables ofthe town to prevent the Chartists proceeding . But thanks to their opposition , ihe friends went , and suoq an anxiety a ' s-was' displayed to hear the Chartista wo never witnessed . In caaa the

      authonties would do as thsy had threatened , soveral individuRls offered their private dwellinRS to meet in , in different parts ofthe town . However , we went to the place announced ; for the meeting , and , true enough , we were charged at our peril to assemble there . After some " argufying" on both sides , a working man offered us his yard to meet iu , about the middle of the town ; accordingly Mr . Frazer anncrunced to the multitude the facts of the case , and requested the people to return to the town . ; they did so , and a glorious sight it was to behold aimost every inhabitant of the neighbourhood tnarchiug back , in face of the vicar , Dr . Bell i and Mr . John Biayds , a great laadholder . To this yard the peopJo went , in their handrods ; a hymn was sung , after which Mr . Eraser commonced a sermon , on Proverbs , 30 th chapter , I 4 th verse ; after

      he had proceeded about twenty minutes , the vicar , Dr . Bell , and Mr . John Blayds passed through the crowd in a gig , and complained to the head constable that the thoroughfare was stopped , and so it was . The yard we met in could not coutain one-fifth of the peoplo presenfc , ! oonsequeutly the constable , shaking like an aspen leaf , exhibited his badge of office , a , nd requested the lecturer to conclude , as the meeting was entirely blocking up the road . Mr . Fraser said he v ? onld comply , feguesting time to inform the people of the matter . It was granted , and the lecturer , making a few remarks on tbe conduct of the Vicar and Mr . Blayds , rfquested a show of hands from all present who thought he had been speaking what was right and trae ; and such a show of hands—soarcoiv a being present kept down

      their hands , at least not reckoning women , who were there in liuudreds—from four to five hundred ablebodied men held uptheir handsfortheCbarter . Immediately a number of them , chiefly colliers ,: formed themselves iuto » provir-ional committee , and arrangements were entered into for toe purpose of forming an Association . While ; leaving the bouse , tho lecturer was accosted by , apparently , a middle class man , who offered him a piece of ground to lecture on at any time , where none dare meddle with the peopie . Thug ara our principlea- ^ -the glorious principles of the Cbarter-f spreading ; Noticing on earth can impede their progress . Qri , then , brothers ! Let nothing earthly claunt us .

      We , we were appointed the Executive , struggled to defeat the couimon enemy by imitating their taciics , and employing the same powerful weapons against them which they havo so successfully wielded against the pe < $ ple . Therefore , we have earnestly recdmmended tho General Council to assemble and transact business in central points , and to organise the people in districts . ¦ , London and Manchester have followed that rule with a success ^ hich . has beea cr editable to the leaders and advantageous to the cause . We have recommended district : lecturers to be ohpsen , ; and appealed to the people to afford us the requisite funds

      to send accredited persons into the unagitated parts of England and Wales . We ; wjsh , ia particuw' i ? fre ° l > the people ' s attahtionfto the position the National Charter Association is in now as compared to what it was when we were elected to fill the honourable and responsible ofSce of being membora of the Executive Committee . When we accepted office we had only sixty-six towns enrolled iu the National Charter Association : we have now 401 towna , villages , and hamlets eurolled in the Association . There were nearly 10 , 000 cards issued when we took office ; during the last twelve months we Have issued 35 , 000 cards , and from information we have before us , we are convinced that there are not less than ^ O jOOO members in the Association , as thousands have joined us who will not take out card ? until after the election for the new

      Executive-We are now on the « ve of resigning office , and once mofe impress upon the publio mind the vast importance of pursuing the line of agitation we have drawn ; and most earnestly do we declare to them that an Executive body can never be thoroughly supported unless it be backed by a long continued and unremitting agitation of the opuntry . We also desire to point cut to the people the principle- upon which the agitation of the various districts should be conducted . We are of opinion that the perfection of freedom consists in local government being unchecked in its workings ; and therefore we recommend each district capable of supporting a lecturer , to empower the General Council to elect an eligible person , and pay a salary sufficient ¦

      for his maintenance and remuneration for his labours . We do not desire to have undue power placed in our hands ; and therefore disapprove of the proposed plait of giving the Executive the power of ^ appointiiig _» cprpa of lecturers . on . ¦^ K 1 ^ n <^^®^ C ^« iiPB 8 * i ^ >© # «^ is quite enough For us to ^ ossesg , ana that the agitating power ohouM be held and controuled by the General Council . - We hkewtHS : dic . rM . wvva . of the plan of electing a limited number of lecturers , onrtfatr-v *^ . ciple that it would be a restriction on the gemus which we observe " springing up in the ranks of our assooiatioD , which talent shoQld have a fair chance of being matured , a wide afield to exercise itself in , and therefore to affi > rd the young au honourable opening for a wise and just competition , we would leave the choice of the lecturers to the General

      Council in the districts , the whole Association being the class from which the leotures should be chosen . We have no objection , to offtr to the principle of allowing the Executive the temporary : power of sending qualified persons to agitate pans of the country where the Association has not yet been established , but that power should not be retained after the districts were organized and capable of directing their own movements . Each locality knows it 3 own wants best , and should endeavour to supply them whilst the Executive should overlook , direct , and devise plans of operation for the whole . The efforts of the General Council should be local , the duties of the Executive National , and if we always made that honest and Chartist distinction , we would fulfil our separate duties without the chance of dispute , and with every prospect of success to our glorious principles .

      THE OBSTACLES WE HAVE ENCOUNTEBED . The first grand obstacle that haa crippled our efforts has been the limited funds of the Association , and the irregular manner in which wo have-been supplied with the ginewB of war . We are fully satisfied that the people will have to amend the plan of organfzation , in regard to the collecting of funds , and make an equal levy on ihe districts , or by any Other means the general-council may suggest . We have to . assure tha country that the want of funds has crippled our best efforts , aud prevented us from laying before them , schemes of greater magnitude for the advancement of our cause . We have likewise encountered much difficulty from the want of meeting places of proper dimensions and in convenient

      situations , and wa would particularly recommend to companies of shareholders to erect , during this summer , woocieu houses , as the first step to the erecting of more substantial buildings . Every member must see the necessity of sacrificing something to effect an object which would make us independent of our enemies , richer in our funds , and more united ia our agitation . We have calculated that from £ 15 to £ 30 would erect commodious woodeu . houses , or sheds , which might bo insured at their full value to prevent the danger-of conflagration . We have likewise encountered considerable

      opposition to our movements , m consequence of jealous and brainle £ 3 divisions amongst public men , and unfair criticism from our own press , both of / which are calculated to rob as of publio support and esteem , and renders the Executive a vain and farsical appendagetp the Association / We are in a position , as officers pf the Association , ' to be held responsible to the people , who elected us , and fairly opBn to the fair criticism of speakers ^ writers , and editors—our documents , recommjBndations , and actions are fair game for public approvaf , discussion , or condemnation ; but , we contend , that beyond that we are not compelled to submit .

      It is with considerable pain we allude to the hostility which the Editor of the Northern Star has shown towards one of our members , and to the degrading position in which he has castthe Executive itself . We are most ready to admit tie S < ar aa the leading organ of the movement—4 o acknowledge oheerfuHy the great seryicea it has rendered to the cause of Chartism—but it is not above criticism , any more than the Executive ; and , whilst we thank ita Editor for the services he has conferred on the movement , and the attention he has bestowed on us , we are nevertheless determined to assert our independence , of action on the one hand , and on the other our responsibility tor all our deeds to the people alone , whose servants we are .

      The Editor of the Star has asserted that he has altered our documents to preserve as from the fangs of the law ,. The accusation , borne on the faca of this admission is a serious and important one . because it necessarily implies that we are criminally ignorant of our duties . ''' . ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ ¦;¦ ¦ ' , ; . ' , ;¦ . •' . ' ¦ ; ¦ ' . '' •" . 7 . '¦> In reply / we have tosay , that to the best of our recollectioa , the assertion of Mr . Hill is utterly unfoundedj and calculated to set forth his own judgment and importance at tho expeuce of the people ' s public and responsible servants ' * If tho assertion is correct , then Mr . Hili has assumed a power to himself he hiad no right to , and which we are determined to resist , until such time as he may be elected by the people to bo public censor and geaeral supervisor ever the Executive Committee .

      We most solemnly protest s- ^ ainst power assumed by the Editor of the Star ? Firstly , because it is contrary to the spirit of Chartism , and the rule 3 of the association , and the rights of the people , who are , and ought to be , the sole censors of the Executive . Secondly , it is establishing a dangerous precedent , and conferring a de- < potic power on the press , which , if added to its present enormt ) us iiifluence , would not only leava the character of men at its disposal , butthe very / doouments which they wrote in their defence might be exposed io designing alteration and unjust deductions . Wo hold that the Editor has no right to alter public documtnts ; bui to insert theni entire , accompanied with such remarks as may be su ^ ested by a man ' . occupying the position of Mr . Hill , and a

      fund elevated and desirous of liberty , and ever anxious to advise and reason , instead of condemning and underaimng . We thank Mr . Hill , if his intension was to serve the Executive and protect them from danger , but with all due deference to the superior intelligence of Mr . Hill , we beg most emphatically to have the privilege of correcting our owa documents , defending out owa characters , aad answering to the people for our ignorance and criminal omissions . We shall not be dragged into a hostile correspondence , or into quarrels of any kind , and therefore we appeal to the people on one grand point , namely , are we to be responsible to the people or the Editor of the Northern Star ? if to thei former , we are content ; if to the latter , vote him into his office , and-we will obey . /

      Fellow Chartists , — -The period of our sittings hare nearly expired , and on retiring from office we teel that we have done the very best we could under existing oircumstancea to forward the movement /; we have striven to maintain our position . Chow we ba . ve done so we have already mentioned ) to propagate our principles and to increase bur numbers . Fiualiy , w © have laboured to put down division ( there has never beep , any in our body ) to secure unanimity arid preserve our independence and your rights ; wa have not had any votes of disapprobation , but many , vary many of a contrary nature . In taking leave of you , we publicly thank the

      General Council for their continued co-operation , and the people for their general support in a period of unexampled distress . We have now but one earnest recommendation to give—one sincere advice to offer —one long-encouraged hope to cherish until it is matured , vizi , that the people may practice the principles of the Charter as well as understand them . Never forget that a principle which is just applies equally to the transactions between a Government and a Qatiou , as it does to the common intercourse between man and man ; therefore , let na think , act , . and judge of measure ? , movements , and inen , by the golden rule of the Charter .

      ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASbOClATlON TO THE PEOPLE . THE PEOPLE ' S DUTIES TO THE CAUSE , THEMSELVES , AND THEIR ADVOCATES . The duty of the people to the sacred cause of Chartisra is , to keep in the undev ' titing path of perseverenco . Opposition .. should- increase dcterminaiion and zeajL Calumny and misrepresentation should stimulate the people to greater energy in the spread < . f truth and tho diffusion of democratic

      pnnciptea , All the movemeuts of the people shoald be distinguished by unanimity , arid . the recommendatious of all deloja ; ated deliberative assemblies eldcttid by the universal Voice of the / people should be auppoxted and acted upon by all . . The minority hhoaid in all cases yield to the majority , and thus good . fbal ? ii # arid just democratic principles would be the more effectually cultivated . / ; - / Ic should never bo forgotten by the Chartist body that hundreds of thousands of the industrious classes are pining in want of the comnieu necessaries of life . Crime ,. > ease , ' - ; and death are ail engendered aud iu >

      creased by the hideous monster-olas ' legislation . Theee iJis can never bo removed but by the triumph of our principles , and although pcrseverence , danger , and sacrilico ara needed to effect the victory , tht ; reward will ba great aua glorious ; but to become faint ^ heartcfi and draw back , will only bo to hug the chains of despotism , and to remain in the most degrading and agonizing slavery , ever groaning in mibery aud Bighing for release , without tlia . least hope of freedom being gained ; our motto then must be forward in the good cause , for tyranny and death are bahind , but liberty , happiness , and life , invite usto marcaonvvard .

      Among themselves , the people- should cuUivatethe best ieeiings of democratic ftiendahip ; our political association should ba a United Bbotherhood , among whom , quarrels , diss 6 usious ,: strife , or malice ] should be uukuowa . In their conduct , the most siriot sobrioty , Bhpuld be obaervedj and it ought to ba thej most piecing . duty of Chartiststo aid each other in oi-tress , to rally round aad protect each other from persecution aud injury , and an insult or wrong iuftieted on one , ehoulti beregarded as adeep iujustioo to all . ¦ -

      Io their advocatog , thope who are foremost in danger , and whose patriotic oxer ^ ons are the mainstay of the movemect , the peorle should extend the best feelings ci' favour and afSsctibn ; aud at all times Chartists should be slow to condemn men whose lives have btca devoted to the cause , and who have given , in many good aud virtuous actions , patriotic aad positive pi oofs of their political integrity . The personal quarrels of these advooates , whieh it is to be hoped will never more arise , should never create division in the people's ranks . The actions oi .. men should beregarded as the only true test of their sincerity ; and a spirit of ill-will or recriminatiou betweea those who are foremost in thepeople ' s raaks

      should never be eucouraged or magnified into importance by ihe proceedings of the people themselves r differences of opinion have arisen , now exist , anu will of a certainty again spring up . We have reason and judgment enough to adjust differences , and the will of the many thould be enforced , and tha obedience of the few be taa . de a ready compliance ; the people , therefore , should protect all theiv advocates froaa persecution , fiiisrepresentatioiJ , and wrong , and cheer them on , and encourago tnein in their , hazardous warfare agaiust ; despotism and corru-paon . By these means alone , ; can niutual confidence and friendship bo obtained , and that union promoted which is absolutely necessary to tie success of > ur holy cause .
