      t > f OCtmnell , and stultifying and degrading themselves into-ihe bargain . 1 . —Because the National Chartist Association recognizes-the Repeal of the Union , and bo does the Charter itself . 2 . —Because the leaders of the Repeal of the Union movement do not recognize the Charter ; on the contrary every principle of the Charter is excluded from the Repeal agitation . 3 . —Because iir . O'Connell does not desire the Repeal of the Union : for if he ^ id desire it , h © would noi refns 8 the assistance and co-operation of three KIXIJOS 3 PITS BTJKDRED TH 0 D 2 AKD BHITISH SVBJ £ Crs , and court the aid and co-operation of a miserable cowardly gang of drunken , debauched , assassins and traitors , in the norih of Ireland , under the name of tbe Orange yeomanry .

      4 . —Because joining the Repeal racks would be formally abadoning a grt-at principle for a lesser one —wenld , in fact , be admitting that a part was greater than the whole , 'lhs Charter includes the wholcr—the Repeal is bnt a small part of it . The Chartists can petition fsr Repeal , hold meetings for Repeal , but they cannot j-jin the Repeal ranks without an abandonment of principle . 5 . —Because Mr . O'Connell is not sincere , nor was ie ever the sincere or honest advocate of any cause or measure , not even the Catholic question , which his letters to the late Counsellor Brio will prove , withont his evidence before the Lords' Committee on the 11 th of March , 1825 . He made an effort to sell the Radicals of England to the Whigs in 1837 ;

      and because they would not agree to the bargain , he denounced . them as Tory Radicals , rascally Radicals , and subsequently as torch and dagger-men , midnigbt assassins , Peargusites , blockheads , thick-skulls , and ¦ within lie last week , has basely and -wilfully calumniated , lie whole Chartist bod j bj stating that which he knew to be false , that is to esy , "That the Chartists of England would not allow any other body of men to meet for the pnrpose of discussing any other proposition , bnt at every such meeting the Charter ^ was crammed down the throats of the meeting , so that the progress of every good measnre was retarded by these physical-force Chartists ; the Repeal of the Corn Laws for instance , as well as every other measure calculated to ameliorate the condition of the people . " Well , he knew that this was false when he stated it , but the dupes who

      followed him and the knaves and swindlera who compose his staff did not know it or care a farthing whe&erii ' were true or false . Well , he knew ihat when the anti-Corn Law League attempted to give ihe air of public opinion to their proceedings ; any inhabitant had ^ right to mo * e at that public meetiBg any amendment they thought proper ; and the Chartists being the great majority of the British people had , and have a dearly legal constitutional right to carry their own favourite proposlt-ons at any public meeting , no matter foi what purpose convened , provided always that it purported being a public meeting of the inhabitants of the place where the meeting was convened . This is the law of public meetings , and well Hr . O'Connell knew that when he was calumniating three million five hundred thousand British subjects . But did the Chartists ever move an amendment or

      otherwise interfere with a meeting of the Corn Law League or an other ieagne , when no attempt was made to give the meeting the air of a public meeting expressing pnblioopinion ? No never J Thesse are my answers to the queries ; and I have only to repeat what I have said before , that the Chartists cannot join the ranks of the Repealers without nttcr degradation . All ChsrtisfeEtand upon a perfect equality . The vote of the poorest man xs as good as that of the the richest . Not so with the Repealers ; none can vote but a member ; that is , he who pays one pound annnally or collecis it ; so thai to become a member , nineteen payers of one dulling each are literally disfranchised . Ttey may listen to be sure , but they have no right to speak or vote . Will tbe Chartists sanction this wholesale disfranchiEement of their

      brethren 1 Wai they pay three shillings each , mereJy to receive the degrading badge of the willing slave , an associates' card , with the privilege of hearing , bnt liable to be turned out in the event of spesking or voting ? ~ WiU any Chartist in England agree in these terms ! Skonld he do so he is a slave . Mr . Dyott said thai as Mr . O'Connell was contrary to the nsige accounted a prophet in his own country , no matter wast he was accounted in others , he , for one , always wished to watch his movements and wtigh his words , in order , if possible , to solve the apparent eccentricities of the one and conrradicstions of the other . Accordingly , when Dan , wbo professes to be the very Goliath of Repeal , repudiated the assistance of the English Chartists ,

      sjid even declared that the admission of one Ferjn 3 = ite into a London wardmota would peril the safely of tbe entire body , which shonW be pnt under interdict natil the offending Jonah should be cast oat ; when he ( Mr . D . } paw this , he looked sharp to discover wherein the ChaxtistB had committed the tin cgainst Mr , O'Connell not to be forgiven ; and what . did they think he discovered it to be ? "W 8 > y , they had petitioned for the restoration of Frosi , Williams , aad Jones , to their natiye land—( hear , hear ) , —and Mr . O'Coiinell said he never conld have anything to do with them till they had thrown overboard the cause of the men who had wrecked their happiness a ^ d periled their peace in the cause of libenv ! till Englishmen were base ,

      ungenerous , and recreant enough to forget their expatriated brethren , Mr . O'Connell could never recognise them as coaajutora —( hear , bear ) till Englishmen became treacheroas , nngratefn ] , disloyal , tiae-serving tlaves , they were unfit companions for Sir . Daniel O'Connell—( cheers ) 3 Mr . O'Connell was a good Catholic ; he prayed for the souls in suffering . Now Frost , Jones , and Williams were in a kind of political purgatory—( bear . ) Was he , the orthodox Mr . O'Connell , not bound by every principle of charity , aye and religion too , to add his own prayers to those of the English Chartists to effcct'flie translation of those sufferers to the heaven of their native land—theelysium of the bosom of their families , from whence their too ardent zeal

      for the cause of universal political redemption had for a season—and hp , ( Mr . 1 ) . ) trusted bnt fir a sea-« 3 n—* hm them oat I—( lond cheers ) . Why he , ( Mr . D . ) whom Mr . O'Conacll had called an * unbelieving miscreant , ' was ready to offer his warmest aspirations for those martyrs to justice and the poor man ' s right —( eheers . ) Mr . O'Cojaiell had told them in one of bis recent speeches , that in the event of the Union bf ^ iug repealed , they wonld most likely get household suffrage ! Yes ; he had given up even manhood suffrage—hia own peculiar invention—( hear . ) He ( Mr . D- ) wondered wonld women who owned nouses be allowed to vote—Yhear , and langb : erj Was the isnd cabin and the miserable shealing of the Irish dk :-: ant to bs accounted houses ? it was sometimes

      aifBcuk to defiae the term—the last election of Dublin had been Io 3 t on this difficulty . But Household Suffrage was now tbe phrase . Why did cot Mr O'Connell know—many of his gaping dupts did not , that Hoiisehold Suffrage would reduce the present cesstiHifeBcesfand into whose hands would electoral power bo thrown ? into the bands of the masterclass—the iandlords !—( hear , hear ) . Hero was an ui ? h poliucal Proteus for you—ie has twisted from Umvtrssi Suffrage to Manhood Suffrage , and now he comes down to Household Suffrage . Oh , wha ; a Radical Reformer ^ —( hear and eheers ) . Bnt they hu-i no ; been deceived ; O'Connell was never tLe fr-eiMi of the lower classes ; he pandered to their pr « judic € 3 tiid preyed on their pockets to be tore , wlaie « : bean h ? was a proud aristocrat ; aad more

They wouiu Keep him there , and see that he was faiihful to ih =- canse he had been so long feed for , and had so cften betrayed—( hear ) . They would battle for Reptal in which as Irishmen tfcey were deeply interestee ; kui they Lad 1 . 0 desire to fight in She O ' Comitll ewg ^ tiiV fcT thej cad no faith in ha leader . Mr . ihuti resnzEtd his seat amid lond cheers . Mr . Kee ^ sa was called to ibe chair , and the usual thanks being returned to Mr . Woodward , the meeting broke up . giving tLree cheers for Repeal and nine for the Charier .

      GKEENCCK . —Mr . Robert Peddie lectured here on the eyening 3 of Thursday , Pxiday , aad Saturday last , to "Fery large and respectable audiences . His two first lectures consisted of au account of the wicked and di » boBcal means which were used to entrap and ihveJghle him into the snare set for him by the hired minions of a corrupt and profligate Government .

      NEWPORT ( Momhootb SHIRE . )—From a correspondent . —Is Chartism uead i Tiie men ot Newport , undaunted by the frown of facticn and unawed by the menaces of iron-hearted taskmasters , hare again nobly responded to the o . ucsaon by mustering in their might to express their sympathy lor suiiYring humanity , in the person of Cooler and Rschards , the imprisoned patriots , for dbcir manly d ^ nea of the People's Charter . Tho bills annyanciug the meeting were only issued on iionday morn ' . a ^ l ast j but a * the appointed hour the Assembly room of tho Qseen Adelaide tavern , kindiy ^ aniec ) , y Mr .

      unauiciously called to tne cnair , . which- wa-. placed below the splendid banner of the .-i relation oa on wh : ch is painted , by a master haud , correc : likenesses oi the patriots uf Walesy Frost , Williaias and Jones . The Chairman who introduced xho bus ; iK- £ B in an appropriate address caKeS on the first ty ^ aker , Mr . Jones , who said , it is bow a io .

The Au ' . i-Luru Law agitation , never a giant , ha * now dwindl .-u . down to its- proper dimensions . They promises us gr . rthir . trs vrben bread should be cheap : but the loaf has enlarged very much of iate ; and thoash iutrcased in * jze and timinished in price , your couu .. ion is

      jis bad as it was before . Jjven if after years oi triaggling the repeal of these laws was obtained , the people woulQ find they had only goi a dwarf afur atf : and it was for opposing an agitation iiks this that Cooper ' and tbe others had raised such a prejudice mthe minds of the jury class agains : tuc-m , while : their only crime was advocating the cau-e of the people—their only guilt was in de'enJii ' . ; iLe rights of their fellow-man .

We are Sorry we cannot « ive more inan a mere outline of his address . He depicted dfe hollow-heartedness : of tho Whigs , and

      the , tyranny of the Tories in their proper colours He pointed out , in fombie eloquence , the wrongs under weieh ii ^ gland and Ireland groan . He alluded to the extravagant propensities of the great ; he proved from Scripture , frum reason , and from every claim 01 justice , the right of the people to controui thekgis arure ; he showed how olfice 3 had been multiplied without end in order to cram the hungry maw of the scions of the aristocracy , aud showed that it was for laying bare the iniquities of a system like this thai our best and bravest wexs torn from their families , and subjected to all the ' privations which the tyranny of our oppressors could invent , in the Tain and fuiile hope that tho spirit of liberty would thereby be subdued , and the wish for freedom buried . He concluded by a stirring appeal to the men of Kewporc to resume their wonted place amid the friends of freedom , and moved the aoopucn oi' the petition .

      " To the Honourable , &c . "Humbly sheweth , —That your petitioners have heard with feelings of honest indignation , the cruel and unnatural treatment to which Thomas Cooper , John Richards , and Joseph Cepper , are subjected iu Stafford Gaol , by order of the visitiDg magistrates of that county , in being refused the necessaries of Me , and subjected to privations which threaten the life or reason of these prisoners . " Your petitioners , being ardent lovei s of peace and liberty , as is well known to jour Hon . iloiue , pray your Hon . House to take suca rteps as to you may seem most proper , to cbtain for these prisoners a remission of their punishment , or &i least fcuch a mitigation of it as to allow their friends to supply them wuh tho necessaries of life , and thus remove one just cause of complaint from the minds of an impoverished and oppressed people , " And your Petition , &o . * ' signed on behalf of the meeting ,

      " Johs Williams , Chairman . " Mr . Jonah Williams seconded the adoption of the above , which was then unanimously agreed to . Mr . Abbeu was r . tx : introduced , who began by saying he woski not occupy their time by a lengthened address , wsich , iu fact , was rendered unnecessary ly the very eloquent speech which they had just heard ; bat tbe magnitude of the resolution which he had to propose must be his apolfiij for iroubMng them with a tew words . Government had introduced a measure to receive-lhe sanction of tbc legislature , on whish ha wished to take the sense of this meeting . Ho alluded to the Irish Arms ' Bill—a measure framed for the purpose of giving to the Esecntive a better knowledge of what arms were in xhe hands of the Irish people . He protested warmly agarasi the mearure . Government had no right to this knowledge ! They had robbed Ireland of her independence by English inflaence and

      English gold ; and now , when } her sens were in earnest for their freedom i wheii Ireland was bent on re-obtaining her long-lost rights , he considered it the boundea duty of English Chartists to aid bet in the struggle , and therefore soiled on the meeting t « pretest with Mm against a measure which would increase the power of the executive to crush the demand for freedom in Ireland . Me moved—** Th » t , in the opinion of this meeting , the Irish Arms Bill how before Parliament is an infringement on tbe rights of the Irish people , i That this meeting deems it their duty to express their abhorrence ef the proceedings adopted by Government in exercising its power to pat a stop to ihe spirit of liberty in the sister country . "—Seconded by W . Thomas , and 1 unanimously agreed to . The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up , determined to be more vigorous than ever in their exertions for a nation ' s welfare .

      SHEFFIELD — CHfBiiSTS Read!— " A Step in the Rioht Diaircrio » . "~^ At the usual meeting on Wednesday evening , June 7 th , in the Fi « tree-lane room , Mr , John Tankard in the chair , Mr . Julian Harney , after an appropriate address , proposed for adoption the following declaration : —Resolved"That it is the boundea duty of professing democrats , to make every possible effort , and use all means consistent with justice and honour , for the obtainment of the rights of oitizenship and tho restoration of their country ' s freedom 1 ; That the ' consumption of intoxicating drinks affords to an usurping and tyrannical government a source of immense revenue , and thereby the means -of keeping the people in a state of slavery ; That to support that

      Government in any [ way , where support can . be avoided is treason to the cause of liberty ; That the use of intoxicating dricks by members of the Charrist ^ body is inconsistent -with their duty and prejudicial to their means of supporting the movement with that pecuniary aid so iudisperisible for mcc-ss in their contest 1 for justice ; That the use of such drinks h » 8 been one of the prinoipil mean ? of keeping the people ? in a state of degraded ignorance , unfitting them for the exercue of their reason and rendering them the willing or apathetic slaves of despotism ; That the glorious example set by the people of Ireland in proving their fitness for freedom by shaking , off tho degtadiig yoke of dissipation , is ono that Englishmen are

      ; boaad to imitate , if jthey would enlist on their side the sympathies of mankind , and prove their , worthiness of tbe rights for which they are strtigj filing 5 " That , in the present auspicious erfeis , it is I tie duty of every patriot to devote every energy , I physica 1 , mental , moral , and pecuniary , ho may pos-I sess to the acceleration of the triumph of liberty , j aud th < 3 annihilation of slavery and misery : Thero-: fare resolved , that , as . it ia the dttty of consistent men to bo ever ready : to take tho witi&tiye in all movements and mf . as . urea recommended by them to I oihcib—and , as example is better than precept—we , { whose names are hereunto subscribed , being asso-1 dated and other supporters of the principles of the I People ' s Charter , do pledge ourselves to abstain for IlA A . il . aft * "**> d m » a thefutuifrom the of all drink

      ** . * ' e use intoxicating ; s , i ( except for medicinal purposes ) , and do pleflge ouri selvoa , by all reasonable means , to discourage their j use by others ; feeling convinced that if tho mass of I our countrymen can be induced to pursue the same 1 course , morality will be promoted , the march of mvnd aavanced , patriotism fostered ; and , finally , j a nation's liberties be conquered and lastingly eatabj lished on the indestructible basis of virtue and I icason .

      NEWCASTLE . — CAMP MEETING AT BOLDEK Fell . —A Chartist carap meeting was bold at the above placa on Sunday afternoon . No sooner had the tour of twelve arriven than the roads from the ea = t and the west , the south and the north , leading to Bjldeu Foil , were thickly claA with the brawnsy sons of toil wending their way to the Chartist ; catnp meeting , and continued to arrive in bands until after two o ' clock . Soon after that hour n waggon , drawn by two horses . -which the Chartists of Sunderiand had brought ; with theni for the twofold purpose of carrying thoir wives , sweethearts , and daughters to the place of meeting , und of forming a platform when there , dre ^ up in the moat appropriate place of the Pell for the meeting to be htld . The ladies having descended , and thehorsosb-. 'in ^ sot at liberty ( for liberty—true Christian "liberty—w .-. s U- e order of tbe tlay ) , ths gentlemen who ] were appoiuted to addreaa the attentive multitude { ascended . Mr .

      Beeiley movad and Mr . Charltoa flecjont ' en , that . Mr . Sinclair , ot Newcastle , pn'side , vrbich was agreed to unanimously . Mr . S . britfly opened tha proceedings by stating tbe object for wh ch the camp meeting was held , read a letter from tha Ksv . W . J Hill , expreMinthis regret at being unablu to attend tout day , aud promising to pay a -visit to the wen of ( Northumberland and Durham , as soon as hia other duties -would permit , of which he would give timely notice in tho Star . Mr . S . then concluded by introducing Mr . GhTiton , of Sudderland . Mr . C . rose amid the j ; eneta ^ applause of the meeting , aud after Bomo introductoiy i-emarks , took 1 Peter , 3 rd chapter , a part of 10 th aad llth verses , aa

      his text . Mr . C . beautifully illustrated what was in hia opinion pure Christianity—that Christianity which was taught by Christ and his apostle ? , and showed bow different was the doctrine which the hirelings ( and not shepherds ) of thepreoont daysabstiiufcecJ in its stead . He proved that the major part of tbe professors of thia day did not consider ( at lsj-. sfc fcheid line of conduct flatly contradicted it , if they did ) that all men are equal ia the sight of God , and shotiid be so iu the sight of man—that U -was a duty imperative on every Christian indeed "to do unto others ; as thoy would that others should do unto them . " that " thou shait

      love thy neighbour as thyself . " M : r . C . considered these tbe leading doctrines of pure , practical , Christianity , and it was with great regret ! that he had to adduce that the majority cid not act ! up to it . Mr . C . then enumerated tha principles of the PiopJe's Charter , and contended that of all s * cta With which be was acquainted , none acted so consonant with the doctrines of Christ and his true followers , aa Ao tke Chartists He went on at great length and proved to the satisfaction of all present ! ( for although an opportunity was given to any one who might be disposed to difibr from him in oinuioai none embraced

      it ) that pure , practical Christiaiuty end Chartism no synonimous . The Chairmen n-xt lintroduced Sir . Beesley , wbo was also received with great sympt ^ ma of applause . Mr . Beesley drew some jinfereneen from the Btate of the Church in Scotland and of the Bepeal agitation in Ireland , end hiped that e 7 ery true En ~ giiabman would see the propriety of joining in one ph&laux for the piocuiance of thoBo rights of which they , as men and Christians , had a perfect light to claim . He clearly showed things as they now arc , and as they weuid be if pure practical Christianity were established in these realms . Ho contended that such

      was not the case now ; that that which bore that name in England now savoured more of infidelity than of the principles taught by the Saviour and such of Jii-j followers as declared and acted up to ihe whole council of God . Mr . B . advanced many able arguments in defence of tbe position which be had taken , aud concluded amidst the plaudits of the ( whole auditory . Mr . Kydd , of Souto Shields * wzs n <> xt « itr : ; d ! uoed . Ho was likewise greatly applauded . Hei coTuuidiic rl by noticing the stateofthe Church in Sev ijinrt ( the ' tim ; - OuV iu which he considered to be m'hing r . urc than a schema fur Church extension ! showing that it conld not be much relied on for the furtherance of t . < e 031139 of justice . But if tha leaders of the pooplo in Jrelifid ¦ were sincere , be contended that it would be of vital importance to our cauae . Mr . K ihLi reviewed tbe line of policy pursued * -by the landers tff tbe racrement in Ireland for the last ten years , comparing it with the course pursued by the moat prominoafc loaders of the ¦ ¦
