      object . ' How ihis defeat is to happen the Nonconformist does nol condescend to eidighien us . The absence of such explanation , however , forces upon us certain corjecmres and suppo ? irioiis , to account for the anticipated defeat . "We cannor , for the life of D 3 , discover how ** the main object" of the Contebx > ce can be defeated , by the return of well-known and severely-tried Umvkhsal Suffrage" advocates , IT that " main object" be the advancement of the principle cf Uxitessal Scffbage . If , however , the " main obje « " of the promoters of that Co > - tzzesce be not their avowed one ; if they have , ostensibly , put Ustyebsax Scttbage npon their banners , while they have kept their real a main

      otject" in the back ground ; if it should happen that their " main object" is not the Suffrage at all but Fbes Trade ; if it should turn , * out that this is the case , why , then ., we can easily imagine June THAT " main object" may be defeated by the elections generally terminating " as the Birmingham ! one has done I We caj imagine such a de eat , and such a ** calamity , " as the Nonconformist calls it , as t " mg i fcni ire csnnos possibly imagine hoic xhe Sr * .-5 Ba « b " main object ' is to be defeated by such means . The anticipation of defeat ., therefore , by the Nonconformist , nnder these circumstances , raises a suspicion , to give it the mildest term , tha : the B main object" of the Co 5 i £ S £ > " « E-caller 3 is not the ostensible one ! - '

      The Nonconformist next discusses -the possible Tesnlis to tiie uneducated masses of this anticipated defeat , and then fills foul of Mr . O'Coxnoe in " a Style and manner that but too plainly show that Jiis object and the object of his emp-Ojers , is to " ge : rid of FtiSGrs . " "We will hare his own word ? , however , and comment on them afterwards . Addressing himself to the working classes , he say ; : — " The time is fully come f < jr holding cp their idol to the steady view cf their own plain and strong poaunon

      sense for dragging him forth from the < 5 m licht Gf t ' s own own sanctuary , from m < l 6 t his own . prtfrssions and Belf-: andstlouB , and exhibiting the man in his own colouiB ana urtn . "We drill not i * iit& : a him in ihe use of scnrrilons epithets—nor month , in the tone ' ridienious grandiloquence , the language of "bnffonery and insult These w . apons we leave to him vrhein they beat beseesi . But we ask the attention cf working men to a few facts , calmly stated , and thereupon we cheerfully commend them to the" own sotor cen-Cnsions .

      " It can hardly be forgoVten by the labouring classes , that tie principles embcikd in the People ' s Charter , were enoauc ^ l long sin o , by . midV , l cl&ii patriots ; and that , situated by trhatever motive , several leading men , now figuring in public . life , assis'd in the production of that ^ iebrsted drcmnHi * JToiseleesly , but not unsuccessfully , these principles were mating their appeal to the ju ^ jment of tociety , when ilr . Fesrgus O'Connor appeared upon th » ita . se .- Lrt us do him justice .. He brought to the r : use indejnihWe energy , cocsidcrable skm , cnwriried activityand , in an Ill-fated day . the doctrine of physical force . He organic d what he fouad tmshspen and incoherent—he created a machinery which was poweriul

      both foT good and evil—and he employed it for the latur . By bititr denunciations , by fomentir ? the worst passions of human nature , by dogmatism the most into'erable , and insolence which no sphit having a spark of manhood could break , he drove from the people / a ranks every m-ddle-d ^ ss leader , seemingly unable to rest niit : l the stage waa Itf : clear for himself alone . Tfce fruits of his violence speedily ripened—myriads of wcrtinc men were goadc d into open confcet with the government—and the mm , wno hadjlaid the train , and kindled the match , slunk away to Ireland beyond reach of danger . Thoroughly defeated in ibis his own scheme of policy , he returned to 1 ; -Ein anew his pernicious course . As tfeough " secret

      conspiracy , incendiarism , and bloodshed , were Enough to Destroy any resides oi sympsShj -which ? he middle clr ^ sea might feel for the working men , he c-.-uncelleii annoyance in a scarcely less offensive shape , f od harked on his followers to a disturbance of every public meeting , and denounced as " humbns" every effjrt for administrative rtfozxa . He succeeded bur too well in gaining the only end which will fairly account for his proceedings . He rendered the'breach tut ween the two class ; s all but irreparable . By associating with tha principles of the Charter his own

      ferocity , he made them stink in the nestiHs of respectable men , and then availing himrelf of the disgust his . own work had excited , he turned to the labouring class' -, , and simulated , by producing bsfore them the evidences of this discust , their already hot resentment against all above them . He wa 3 now without -a rival in the leadership of the masses ; and as , one by one , roen ' ci cooler heads , of stsmer integrity , of more disimsresUU hearts , rose into estimation with the unenfranchised , he denounced them with virulence the most incessant , rtid aSxed to them the badee of infamy . "

      Now , labouring people , yon have had Mr " . O Cox-KOR amongst yon , associating and -marking amongst yon . for now eight years . Tnat intercoarse has given yon opportunities of jndgiag of his real enar 2 c : tr and worth . Your " own plain and strong common sense " would enable yon to make obsei rations , and correct ones too , respecting any man who mixed amoa ^ -you as Mr . 0 C «<> ' 0 Bhas done , in a mucb . less time than eight years . The Nonconformist says-thai the 2 . bove picture * " exhibits the man in his own colours and dress . " What say you * Remember , that it is painted by s man who knows nothing of Mr . O'Cossob bnt what he has learned from his class

      associations . He never worked with ilr . 0 Coxsob , as you have done . He never mixed with iumj either in public or private ; and you have done both . We question whether ever he was in the fame room with ilr . O'Consob , or would even be able to point him out personally , if he was required to do so : and yes this man , with th 5 = degree of knowledge , presumes to paint * FOR YOU , a portrait of a " man in his own" colours and dress" whom yon have known so well and " long ! ¦ There sever was a more glaring instance of class ignorance and prejudice than this same " portrait ' by the Nonconformist !

      We shall pass over the garnish with-which the Fwonry mers is served up , and come at once to the few facts , calmly stated . ' K I : can hardly bs forzov . en , by : he labonring classes , " ssft the Nonconformist , " that the -principles of the People ' s Charter Tvere enonnced . ioag since by middle-class patriots . " Ihe woikir .- ; people certainly have not forgotten that it is ion ^ since they Srs : enonnced tha principles contained in the People ' s Ccarier ; nor have they forgotten the perrccution and tufsring thai have accrued lo them for such eniiaciiuon ! As for the rriiddlecb ? s patriots of " long since , " the ¦ l ? ss that is said on that head the better " for the

      Noucoriformlit and his middle-class friends Tre £ rea : est enemies that ; he working people , the " enonscers of the principles embodied in the People ' s Charier , " have had to contend with , have been vce middle classes . It was the middle clas ?;? who hounded on the Government in iSlo , 17 , : C , and If . It was ihe middle classes who cjT-rt ¦ red of the suspension of ihe Malmi Carpus ac :, and ihe passing of the erer-to-be-ex ^ crated SIX ACTS .

      them to cc-nxmi : suicide to procure ' a happy release' It was the middle classes , who called upon-the Government to pass STRONG MEASURES to put the enouncers of the principles embodied ic the People ' s Chirrer" down ' It was the middle climes who aj-plended the apprehending of hundreds o ; " enonncers , " the cooping them up in dungeons for monuis together , and then turning them cu : again , withont bringing the shadow of 3 charge aeains : them , or even telling them irhy they had been incarcerated 1 It was the middle classes who raised the lond peal of " urGHTEa" at Ca > " > "i > g s brutal jest about the sufferings of " the revered and

      It { is true that Hot , and Cobbett , and Cart- weight belonged to the middle classes at the time : they laboured with , and for , the people ; and it is equally true , that for so labouring ; for identifying j themselves with the people ; for " enouncing the principles embodied in the People ' s Charrer , " they j were persecuted beyond measure by their own I

      order ! They were represented in exactly the same light as the Nonconformist , the organ of the middle classes of our day , represents Mr . O'Conxor ! j They were denounced on every hand . Consult the venal prints of the day ; and you will find exactly parallel "portraits ' to the one we have just given , ; professing to " exhibit the men in their own colours j and dress . " It is a very old middle class game that j the Nonconformist is now playing ! I ¦ ! !

      " Xsoiselessly , but no : unsuccessfully , these principies were making their appeal to the judgement of society , when Mr . 0 Cosnob appeared upon the stage . " This sentence exhibits the writer ' s total ignorance of what he pretends to write about . It is vntrue , in whatever sense it is taken . If it is made to refer to the " long since" the writer had jnst spoken of , the facts we have narrated respecting the i persecution of the a enouncers" of " these prin-1 ciV . es" show that the " appeal" was any thing but ! a " nobekis" one ! If it is made to refer to the cxaei time of Mr . O'Conxox ' s appearance on the political yt-ige in England , it is equally untrue : for ! ' these principles " were then certainly not " sue- i ccb-fuiiy " making their appeal to the judgment of . s-. 'cje : y . " Ac the period of . Mr . O'Con . vor ' s entree :

      upon political jife amongst us , society was drunk , and unable to exereije any judgment at all ! It was when we had obtained the Bill , the ishole bill , and sotSt *« butthe Bill ! Itwisvrhen the working people had been cajoled and betrayed by the middle classes into the denniieianon cf those very principles which this writer tells us were " noiselessly , but not un > uccessfu ] iy making their appeal to the judgment of society ! " It was whtn the middle-classes had succeeded in the procurement of the denunciation of the patriot Hr . M by sections of the working people , for his firm " enunciation ' "' of "those principles , ' aad his exposure of the Reform Bill fraud J It was at this period that Mr . O'Coj « > " » r came amongst us ; and it was his " { enunciation" of " those principles , " when the nation had got a little sobered , that caused their " appeal to the judgment of society " to ba listened to ; aad has eveutuilly caused the

      patrons ot me Nonconformist to ostensibly espouse ; ihem ! : j Good God ! Look at the position of the Move- j ment at the period of ilr . O'Conxob ' s coming I amongst us , and then compare it with our position f nt-c . ' The agitation for the principle of Ukitersal ! Settrage all but dead . The people split up into j Ihils sections , under sectional leaders , venting forth { their grievances in & discordant and unconnected j manner . Ko concert ; no oneness of purpose ; no ; organization ; no knowledge even of each other's } doings ! Huxt dead ! Comi-tt , soon after , also j removed from the stage of the living . No leader j ' , no rallying point ; no a ^ itnion I The people a prey i to contending factions ; ready to give their " sweet I voices" almost to every humbug who ask'd for them ; j and afraid to offend their leaders amongst j

      tke middle clarses , by asking for the full measure of justice . It wa 3 when the Movement j was ic this sorry condition , that Mr . O'Co . xxos was . ' made a present { of to the English Radicals . They j accepted him ! He cama amongst them . He , at i first , inscribed upon Kis banners , * ' TJsiteksal 5 it * j 7 ra « e and No Surrender ; " and from that day to this has gone on from conquering to conquer on behalf of that principle , until he has made the party ; who espouse it the only powerful party , as far as ] public opinion is concerned , in the state ! Right I well do we know the opening of his mission ia Leeds j to re-plant the banner of Universal Scffkage I amongst U 3 , and establish the Radical Assceia- ' tion . The invitation to him , on that :

      occasion , was given by two working men j He attended to their call . At that period the Leeds \ Times had passed into the hands of a new conductor . Bef iretime it had not ranged itself uuder any baa-: ner , but had professed to be a no-party advocate ; taking care always , however , to advocate the return of Whigs , when an election was at hand . It was : judged prudent on the part of the new Editor to j make it more decided in its tone . He proposed to i joj ; 2 in theproject of bringing O'Coxjtok to Leeds ;! and his offer of help was accepted . Se reral meetings ; oft ' fie Committee were held in ihe Editor ' s room ; ' and . the large masting place in tke Com mercial i Buildings was engaged partly at the risk of the publisher of the Times and partly at the risk of the \ mends who had first invited Mr . O'Connor . It was

      soon found , however , by these working men , that , i with their new allies , Uxitehsal Suffragb was a : great luglear . ' CoulJ not Mr . O'Co . v . vor be induced to substiime Household for TLmteesal . " " He will drive all respectable people away . " " IJtiiseheld Suffrage is as much a 3 can be reaiozubly agitated for , with any chance of public support or success . " The answers were , by the working men , that " they could listen to no compromise . " " If the , respectable p-rople were scared away by the bugbear j of U >* ttersai . SuriVage . they must be used to it , and teen perhaps they -would not deem ic so very fright- ! fui . " On the day of the public meeting , Iiir . U ' Cojfyon met the Committee in tha Editor ' s Room , j There he was set upon , and implored to aban- j don UsiTiRSAL Suffrage . Counsellor Wales , i

      iLen accounted a Radical , was present , and pkaded , as if for life , tha : Mr . OTo . vso-4 would give way , and consent to advocate Household , instead of Universal . The an-wer was c : giii 3 ed , decisive , and plain : — "I come here on a missk-ii . I an ? sent by the working men o £ Lnnron to pisnj the standard of Lmverjal SurrsjfiE amoagst ihe working people of Leeds . If there are bu" thr . ein Leeds who will join wirh me , we will jfir . : but to no compromise or surrender of the rludow of a shade of the full measure of j'istice Tviii I lister ; . ' After this he went to the public meeting- He explained his mission . He , spoke boms to Ihe heara of the Wurkiu ^ people ! He enlisted their sympathies oa the side of right aud > justice ; and from th ? : day may be dated the political redemption of Leeds from the hands of faction 1

      From Leeds he proceeded a : 3 over the country . He al ~ o viiited Scotland . He routed the dormant energ es of the people . He inuised into them a new spirit . He imparted to them a portion of his own " unwearied activity .- ' He organized them . He directed their attention to one point . He made them acquainted wiih each other , and secured amongst them co-operation for an undivided parp 3 * e . He made the agnation really formidable / sad it w « .=, therefore , determined by those who Lid hitherto lived oa tno people ' s divisions , and who had been creat men in their little spheres , to t-e : " rid of Feasgus . "

      Aud now we come to explain the reason why the public have seen the hatching and blowing-up of so : ua :. y plots and schemes to accomplish this purpose . Maay people have wondered to find professing Radicals and Chartist ? engaged ia the accomplishment of these schemes . They have wondered how it could possibly come to pass , tha : men who were bound to irCLiess that ilr . O'Cosnob worjed ^ o , as hardly ever man-worked ; that he "ha-i brought to the cause indomii ^ ble eaergy , considerable skill , aud unwearied activity ; " they have wondered how it could happen that such a man should be conspired against , and plots laid to accomplish his riddance , by professing friends : when we have given them our explanation they will wonder no longer .

      2 di . O'Coyson ' s great crime , all along , from the bt . « i hour of bis introduction amoDgsi is to ihe present , has been , that he wa-, and is , an asii-MAi . THi-jix .

He saw the projects that had been formed for their complete and effectual debasement . He knew the worthlessness of that pretended philosophy , which countenances the extirpation of a portion of . the human race , Because of & surplusage J He gave utterance to his sentiments .

He helped to turn the tide of ! public opinon on this question ; and it is because of j this ; it is because he has been a stumbling-block in ' the way of the Free-trading New-Poor-Lawing j Malthusians ; it is because he has unveiled their ! hideous visages . and exposed their horrible deformity ; I it is because of these thing 3 , and these alune , that j one section of pretended advocates of Umivebsal Suffrage have plotted and conspired to ** get rid of : Feargus . "

      This conduct on the part of Mr . O'Conkor has earned for him the unextinguishable hatred of the Places , the Hrits , the Roebucks , the Warburtons , and every disciple of the school of Malxhus . It is this conduct which has caused the employing of every engine by this school , to procure the political destruction of this " indomitable " opponent . This conduct caused the establishment of the Working Man ' s Association , where the working mtn were to do without leaders ; and where none but working men were to take part . This conduct caused the employment of emissaries

      from this same Working Man ' s Association to go through the country to form branch Associations , on this same principle of no leadership ; the emissaries living all the time they were so employed on money furnished by their leaders , Joe Hukz and Fbanjiy Pla « e III It was this conduct on the part of Air . O'Connor , that caused the numerous slights and insults to be heaped upon him by the rump of the London Malthusians ; and the numerous plans and concoctions to prevent him from having the privilege to address the public audiences . It was the reasons arising from this conduct on Mr . O'Connor ' s part that

      Feargus ; " and we need no better evidence than this " portrait" of the Nonconformist ' s to shew us that those reasons have had some weight in the formation and developement of the Complete Suffrage scheme itself .

There were present on that occasion forty-three delegates . They appointed a deputation to wait on the Directors of the Chr hr Association , and also that of the Complete Suffrage Association , respectfully soliciting the co-oparatidn of those partiri with

      them in their undertaking . This was done with the view that , if successful , it might be the means of leading to a' rjettsr understanding between the middle and working classss , —such as would nltimat 2 ly tsrid to effect that union , withont which Bome are disposed . to think neither will obtain their" object The deputation , accordingly waited on the directors of the Complete Suffrage Association , who were inet that evening at Graham ' s Coffee Room , Trongate , when they ( the directors ) gaid they could give no answer until they should call a meetinxr . of . their Association , when they would inform ihe deputation , if they chose to call , 1

      at the close of their , meeting , what decision they might come to on the subject .. Well , on Tuesday last , the directors of the Chart * Association met for the purpose of considering the matter , and unanimously agreed to co-operate with such of their fellow-citizens ri might choose to join them in the Taimng of funds . for the support of such delegates as a public meeting of their fellow-citiisns would elect , whether Complete Suffrrsists , or not . The Complete Suffragists reply was , ' We" will Bupport no -delegate ' -neither with i * . uniary nor other means who may not be pledged to the principles of the-Compiete Suffrage . "'

      TO TpE EDITOR OF THE K 0 KTHERN STAR . SlK , —The Bristol Councillors of the National Charier Ascociation . 'haying seen in the Star of Saturday last , your remarks upon the letter of Mr . Bairstow , in countxiou with his fcxpences as one of the Executive , deem it tbeirduty to , make a few observations thereon , inasmuch as their locality is one with others xefeived to by you . What we wish to show you is , that Bristol hn had no desire to engage lecturers to be paid by the couiitry at large ; but nas always , aithoujjii at times

      with some considerable difficulr . y , depended upon her own leauurces . In ihe month of June , in the prc ; : nt year , ttio Bristol Councillors entered into an engagemtnt with Mr . Bairstow as a lecturer for three months , at the weekly salary of 35 s . per wc ; k . Just upon tbia Mr . Bairstow was eke ted on the Executive ; he reached Bristol ou the 27 ta of June , and left on the 2 d of July , the first sittiiig of the present Executive having been appointed to take place on the 4 th at Manchester . You will thus perceive that Mr . B . ' a first visit to us ( uaconuectcd witli the Executive ) Wit 3 just oue week '• for which we paifl him , as

      Salary for one week , £ 1153 . Travelling expences , £ 2 10 s . Before Mr . B . left us to attend to his . duties on the Executive , he informed ud , that his election would prevent bis fulfilling the engagement-he had entered into with us ; but that no doufet he would Viaitus under the auspices of the Executive . We told him tbut we should b ^ happy to engr ^ e him for six wetka , subject to tLe general terms of t ! ia Esicutive . On the 31 st of July , Mr . B . again visited us , but not upon the terms of agreement . He Visited Cheltenham , Struud , Gloucester , Bath , Trowbridge , and Bristol . We always paid him the sum he demanded of us ; and , in addition to this , Bdkh and Trowbridge having given him nothing , upon bis return to Bristol we ^ -paid him in ; bilf of tLe expences inenjred by him in visiting theBe two towns .

      You will thus sea , Sir , that tue old locality of Bristol has not been engaging talent at the expeuce of the Association ; in fact , it never has done so . To prove tbis , we nttd oniy state that upon the visit of the Executive to Bristol in Faoruary of the present year , the Bristol men paid the whole of their txpencss of board and loiigini f during ; htir stay , one Wttk ; their wages going on at tfad same time .

      THE LATE WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE IN THE FOREST OF DEA . N . DEATH OF FRANCES BENNETT , THE MURDERER OF HER CHILDREN . Gloucester , Saturday . —Few occurrences have excited a more painful interest in this quarter than the investigation which terminated in the committal of Frances Bennett from Ruardean , in the Forest of Dean , to the county gaol in this city , to await her trial at the assizes . The circumstances have been stated , and are shortly these ' : —Frances Bennet , after the death of her husband , by whom she had several children , lived with a man named Yapp , a haulier , the children by marriage having gone elsewhere . About a month ago , Bennett , under the apprehension that she was about to die , made a disclosure to a clergyman . * iii the presence of several persons , to the ' ttffeet that she had six children by Yapp , but none of

      them had been allowed to live , she having suffocated them immediately after birth . She told where the remains of the bodies would be found . The latest murder , according to tho confession of the woman , was perpetrated about Christmas last year , and the spot which she indicated a : s containing tho remains was found on examination to conceal the most perfect skeleton of any . Tho truth of this horrid confession having in this way been placed- beyond a doubt , information wasEent to John Cooke , Esq ., one of the county coroners , who instantly proceeded from Gloucester to Iluardean to institute an investigation . The witnesses examined on the inquest confcit-tt'd chiefly of ' theperfons to whom the woman had made the confession , including the clergyman who had communicated with the magistrate on the subject , aud the persons who had found the remains of

      the bodies . In course of the examination of the clergyman by the coroner , it came out that he bad had a second interview with the wretched woman , none being preaent but themselves , and that she had made some additional disclosures . The rev . Gentle , raan , however , on the ground that what he wa ' i told upon this occasion was mixed up with his " spiritual " duties ' refused to communicate any particulars , although pressed to de eo by the coroner . The woman , moreover , began to deny that she had made auy such confession as that sworn to by the witnesses , but enough had been proved to justify the jury in returning a verdict of wilful murder against Bennett and her . paramour , Yapp . The latter was inttantiy removed to Gloucester , but tho state of Bennett ' s health was such as to induce the coroner todeioy the order for her removal till it could be effected wiiboat danger .

      Ob the afternoon of Thursday , the l / ih instant , the miserable woman arrived at the county gaol in a fly , attended . by Mr . Bird , a medical men . Sbo was carried up stairs to the hospital , and on being placed on the bi'd , she said , " Now I will die happy . " She died early on the Friday , morning . This day an inquest was held on the body , before John Cook * , Esn ., tho coroner , who conducted the investigation at iXuardean . Disease had reduced the body io a perfect skeleton , but the appearance of the features was more plea ~ iDg than otherwise . Mr . Cooke , who save the deceased alive about three weeks ago , remarked that her fe ; bad undergone litcie change . The first witness examined was Eliza Gansmore , one of the nurses attached to the gaol , who stated that she wai directed to wait upon the deceased shortly after her arrival . Decesped often thanked God that she had been removed , and taid that she was much happier in gaol than at home .

      The Coroner here stated that a rumour was abroad that the deceased was in the family way , and he asked the witne : s if she could speak to the point ! The witness stated that she asked the question of deceased , and . she'Stated that ske was not . Deceased said that she was only thirty-eight years of age . Maria Nuttal , another nurse , was next examined . She said that she was present when the deceased died on Friday morning , aud was with her some days previous . She a"ked witness to read and pray to her . Sometimes when she wis reading the deceased would

      say '' Stop ; wait till I'm better , " and when she recovered she would ask her to go on . As her death approached the seemed to feel contested . 3 he was sensible to . the last . She said that she had been : ill for about twelve months . _ ^ Mr . HicktJB , the Eurgeon , stated that tbe corapTainfi of which the deceased died was pulmonary con .-uzup- ; tion , and , in his opiriiou , the removal from RuarGC 3 u ' had neither ii'jured nor benefitted her . Sht- s-enicd to be aware ilias she could survive only for ' a t ' w days . She mentioned to him and others that she had been sfiij io gaol , charged with tue murder c * her children .

      ... . The jury returned a verdict of " Died ficui natural causes . " Yapp , on being told of the death of Bennett vepi bitterly . Tho body Was buri-.-d by t !; e riJa'ivcs oitLe deceased .

      As to worldly means , the murderers were eonfoit - able . Indsed it is alleged that the only ind- ' . v to their : brutal conduct is to be forud . in tho c < -i-,: t astauce that Bennett ' s husband settled his pr :. ; .. . rty upoa her , but with the restriction that shouiu ' - ' she marry again the property w&s to go to his , ¦ ¦ } .: ! dren .

      Time warns us that we must now close this somewhat leagthy article . We have not yet finished . The course we had chalked out is far from being gone over . We have yet to detail other and minor reasons for the desire to " get rid of Feargus j" bat which are necessary to be known in order to a full consideration and understanding ot the subject . We have also to fiing back the foul and deliberate lie of

      the Nonconformist , that Mr . 0 Connor " brought to the cause , the doctrine of Physical Force . " We have also to expose the cowardly miscreant where he charges the outbreaks of 1839 to the effects of Mr . O'Cohxoe ' s violence , and the horrible imputation contained in the . assertion , that " the man who laid tho train and kindled the match , elunk away to Ireland beyend reach of danger . " We intend to give a full history of those transactions , and cause the blame of them to fall on the right hea ; s . We have also to meet his assertion , that Mr . O'Connor caused the defection of the middle-class-leaders . We have to meet him thoroughly and completely ; aud purpose to do it .

      This , however , must rest till another week . We have neither time nor space for more of it at present . We cannot conclude without calling on the working people to complete the good work they have so well began . Follow the example of Birmingham J Elect to this Conference men whom you knew as advocates of Universal Sdfpraqe ; men who have proved their devotion to the principle ; men who will not temporize , or turn to the right hand or to the left ; men who will not make the advocacy of the Suffrage a stepping-stone for the realization of the schemes and projects of the Free Traders . We implore you to send men in whom

      you can place implicit confidence ; to listen to no proposals about two delegates from one association , and two from the other ; to hearken to no compromises , no arrangement ? , no bargaining ; for you may depend on it that where such is the case , a sale is to be effected , let whoever may receive the price ! To the work , then , working-men J Lookaboutyou ! Choose men with cool heads and honest hearts . Give them your instructions in full . Tell them what you want them to do . Bid them go do it ; and this Conference , respecting which there is so much ALARM in some quarters , shall tend to the consolidation of our ranks , the augmentation of our power , and the advancement of our principles .
