Yoa , however , will understand , that in propertioaM we » re rt riled , we are dreaded ; dreaded by the npboldera of oppression of one clt <* tad the other , and of all of whose abates , " ne

      jjondm Tuact , and its namesake of Leeds , are tonsstint supporters . So long as the active imitation in Ireland famished matter for daily eorr . ment , the leading Journal passed Chartism ov er without farther notice than it condescended to take of your humble servant . Indeed , daring the period of Irish agitation , it was not wonderful that even , apart from Government ^ ntexference , Chartism should fold its tired arms , and look with surprise ait the uprising spirit of a nation , whose language for fierceness , resolution , and boldness , far outstripped that of the Chartist body , even in its days of nnoppoaed excitement .

      This palitical novelty was the more startling , from ihe fact , thai from no section of Bociery , or combination of anthoriBed faction , had the English Charfcsta met with greater opposition and hostility , than from their Irish brethren- This bad feeling needed not the . fncouragemcnt of iherTanes newspaper ; becaase , for years , it bad been fretfully fostered by the Irish leaders and their press . The illegality of our Organization was loudly proclaimed from die Irish tribune ; and .- . a striking comparison was drawn between the manner in which the English CI artists « nd Irish Repealers conducted their agitation . It is a most striking fact , however , that eircnmstances bear ns ont in claiming superiority , for our own system ; and why 1 Because Mr . O'Connell and the Bepea ' ers actnaHy set forth in Ireland the very grievances of which the English people complain , and to redress -which they claim iheir Charter as the only efficient means .

      Ton trill see , therefore , that all complaints of both coni-triesbiBge npoa bad and imperiectTcpresentation , and that Mr . O'Connell ib at length compelled to hold ont the inducement of s v&stly-« xteadea lepresentasion , asthe onlv j aeans of realising the hopes of those for whose rights he contends . It is no part of my business here to inquire whetkea or not Mr . O ^ Gonsell will be capable 01 following up the agitation to the close in the peaceful manner in which he evidently designs . In the nnmerons leading articles that I hare written npon the subject of the Repeal of the Union in fiie Northern Star , I haTe given it as my opinion , that Ireland will require , and will have , some sacrifice for its gigantic exertions on behalf of the Repeal of the Union . I have stated that either file ministers must sacrifice rhe Union , O'Connell most be sacrificed to save the Irish priesthood ; or

      the priesthood mast be raerinccd to save Mr . O'Connell . The first of those offerings , that is , the dissolution of-the Union , is the rightcons sacrifice for both nations ; -while the sacrifice of either Mr . O'Connell or the" Irish priesthood to the disappointed people , would not only injure the came of liberty in Ireland , but would go fax to destroy it in England . Our constant endeavour therefore , shonld be , so to prepare ourselves for the next struggle , that all that has been done may be permanently brought to light , and actively brought 10 bear upon the imeliigen « , the ¦ wisdom , and the strength of both countries ; and in order ~ to effect which , the feeling wiihoHt , nrast be brought to bear , upon the want of feeling within the House of Commons . The msgnaaiznons battle thst one man , Mr . Daneombe , has been able to make in the House of

      Commons , against tyranny practised npon indmduals by authorized bodies , muse at once hare taught the people the ^ value of representation ; while it must hare convinced them of the hopelessness of expecting more than a mere recital of grievances , by the few who venture to contend against them . How often and how loudly have job cheered , when recounting the noble exertions of Mr . Duncombe ; I have a » ked yon if one Dnneombe was so good , what ¦ would twenty Dnrcombe's in ihe- House of Commons be wortfc ? You seemed ovtrjoyed at the bare mention of the prospect , whOe by moderate exertion yon could accomplish the reality ; and to this point I shall direct your aiieBtion in this letter . -

      Xet us suppose that the public mind has remained stationary tince 3 . 500 , 000 petitioned for the People ' s Charter ; surely , It is not a stretch of presumption on the part of so large a number , to demand less than the thirty-third part of the representation in the Honse of Commons , or . . the elecrioa of twenty members , through whom their wants , their wishes , and their grievances could be made known 1 It is for representation that we are struggling ; and I , at all events , have ever Teminded von . that the object must be achieved progressively , in 1835 , I told the people of Hndder ? neld , thai my object in commencing an out-dcor agitation was , to insure eucs a represen tation of the whole people , freely chosen by the working classes , as wonld by their superior wisdom

      and prn deuce , constitute a striking contrast between them sad onr class legislators . I told them , that as our honse wcnld represent industry , it should be called the " iBEEHivsf ; and as then : acts should be placed in cc-n > parison with those sitting in the other bonse , ibey also shDnld meet in London . Early in 1858 , I drew np an elaborate plan for carrying my views into tffect . A middle class mob Baw the danger of an ffieient a modeof carrying on our agitation ; and thsj proposed a saered holiday of a month , as a more speedy means of acquiring the desired object . The hope entertained fromsnehan experiment , very naturally extinguished the more tedious expectation of realising our wishes by a systemized plan .

      This plan of * sacred holiday was concocted in Birmingham early in 1837 , and long before the Northern Star-was established . Even then , I possessed a Jarge amonnt of the confidence of the working classes ; and npon Mr . Salt , of Birmingham , visiting Manchester , for the purpose of feeling the public pnlse there , npon the question of the sacred loliday , the working people told him that they would consult mt upon the snbjtet . before they gave a definite answer . In a Ehort time afterwards , and mind before the Star wss established , I did meet Mr . Salt at ilancbtiter , and after he had developed bis plan to me , as the tcheme of Mr . Attwood , I replied : ** I give it jny entire concurrence under one special prov ' uo ; and that is , BiTOBS x sisetE woekmas ABA 5 D 0 SS liBOTTB , iia .

In 1833 we had

      fortythree lush members in the Honse of Commons , ^ pledged to stand together for the regeneration of \ Ireland : and had they fulfilled their pledges to their ; ecuntry , I hsve not lbesli ^ biest hesitation in sayinj :. that Jong ere this , the Union wonld have been repealed .

      great organic change would find interest in the Hocao of Commons . With all the disqualifying circumstances against which th « Chartist body has to contend , great doubts may be entertained as to the possibility of procuring evtn the return of twenty Chartitta . I , however , contend th&t by a proper system of Organization we may accomplish that , and more , upon the very next general eltotion . And , as it is an event which is not likely to take place before our first Convention meets , I do trnst that it is a subject which will interest the con * sidfration of that body to a very large amonnt . The first great step we must not boggle at . I mean the first step in action is a thorough system of " yxcLrsivB dealing : " -& system , however , which

      must be legally carried out , and whioh must not entail & charge of conspiring againet the working classes . The law as regards exclnsive dealing is this , aslaid down by Baron Holfe , and the Attorney-General at Lancaster : "Thepeople , to any number , rtiey combine together , for the purpose of la §\ ng cut their money inth ichom they please . but if they use that combination for the purpose of injuring others then it becomes a conspiracy and is punishable by law ; they moy deal vnih Tom Smith if they please , and exclusively ; but they must neither inlerjere with , or circulate reports to ihe injury of , John Wilde ; there is no law whatever to prevent any class of-men from dealing with whom they please .. ' Here there is another and s very striking instance of the ^ powpr with which legal combination arms the working

      classes ; and here also is an instance of passing the limits of the law when such transgression rather injures than serves . If Ihe machinery for carrying out a general . system of exclusive dealing was / m perfect working ord « r , the working daSsW'frould upon tbe very next general election , command a majority of the dry , and borongb seats in the House of Commons : while the very operation of dealing exclusivel y witb those , who are pledged to support their candidates , would at once lead from extensive trade , to a very great rpdnction in the price of food . The Government ; the Whig ? , the Tories , and Free Traders , have recourse to exclusive dealing to a most withering , nay , to a destroying extent ; and why grnmHe at the existence of evils arising out of the system which the people themselves can at once contronl !

      I once recommended , and I recommend it still , that onr abltst lecturers should start at once aB candidates for the best situated boroughs in their varions districts , se <* there strengthen themselves , inspiring the people with confidence , and the electoral body with a belief that their real interests would Enifer no damage if entrusted to such representation . Moreover , the very , fact of a diatriot lecturer being also a candidate , would give him a greater power of calling public meetings—a power oi which the law cannot deprire him , and with which the Secretary of State dare not interfere- It may be said that -we shonld have a difficulty in finding even twenty candidates likely to serve th- * cause of Chartism in Parliament . Let us see whether or no such charge is correct . From my memory I will name a number in whom I think the working classeB would bave a sufficient amount of confidence , and not one

      of wb « m wonld betray that confidence . 1 will begin with Scotland . Mr . Moir , Mr . Robs . Mr . Proudfoot , Mr . Ancott , Mr . Colqnhono , Mr . M'Pberson . In England we have Mr . Roberts , Mr . Isaac Barrow , of Bolton , Dr . M'Donall , Mr . Titos Brooke , Dewsbury , Mr . James Hoiiiday . Oldham , Mr . Penny , Heckmondwike . Mr . L « ach , Mnncht'Sicr , Mr . Hobson , Leeds , Mr . Pitkethly , and Mr . W . Storks , Huddersfield , Mr . Wm . Lovett , London , Mr . O'Hig ^ ins , Dublin , ill . Linton , Selby ; and Mr . O'Gorman Mahon . Sow , there are twenty men for you , and I could mention many more twenties ; but what would I not gire to see those twenty men in the House of Commons , while I was on ibe watch-tower outside , and they were led on by Mr . Ducccmbe inside ! What fair order could they give me that I would not fearlessly execute ? and what , ihen , would be ihe position of Chartism !

      We eonld also calculate upan the support of such men as Sharman Crawford , Fielden , General Johnson , Williams of Coventry , and several others who , when the standard was raised inside , would be glad to rally ronnd it . The pledge which we would put to our candidate wonld be this ; upon their word of honour to resign their trust the moment they were called npon to do so by a majority of the nonelectors of the place that ihey represented ; and bad as the House of Commons is , no member , after violating such a pledge , would be aUowed Jo open his lips . The pledge that we wcnld rtqniro from any

      party with whom we coalesced v ? culd be , that every elector of that party shonld vote for our candidate , while as our party could be relied upon , we would reserve cur votes to the last to fee that fair play had been had . Those who required cur co-operation , should also qualify any Chartist candidate , to prepare him for his seat ; and with the machinery properly at work the Convention should appoint a Committee before whom the registration roll of every city , town , and borongh , should be laid , wherein the bearing of each voter shonld be marked ; and then the next arrangement wonld be so to apply onr forces as to insure the success of our plan .

      For instance : suppose the Whigs to try another struggle for asctndancy , they would not wish to lobe Joha Cam Hobhonse for Nottingham ; and npon that understanding we could make our terms thus : take whom yon please as your man , but the penalty must be , that yon have our man . Suppose a refusal to follow this proposal ; we would then give the option to Mr . Walter and his friends : to us , it would matter not a pin which party accepted ; while if good faith was kept , we wonld guarantee to the party who coalesced with us , all the Chartist support in that county and its remaining boroughs in aid of

      their party . Again , in Halifax , they could not afford to lose Chas . Wood , but they should lose him if they refused to ecme to onr terms . So with Leicester , where Sir Johu Easthope , tbe proprietor of she Chronicle , wonld pJadly hold office upon this double tenure , rather than allow the two seats to devolve npon two Toriw . So with Bradford ; so with Glasgow ; so with ?« orthampion : so with Preston , Newcastle , OJdbam . Bolton , Stockpon , Marylebone , Tower Hamlets , and scores of places where , under ihe pys : em of exclusive dealing , the Chartist body would not only hold the balance of power , but the aseendancy , at a contested election .

      How suppose , after s calm review of the whole subject that the Executive and Convention were to direct their attention to the twenty most likely places , I a ? k you wherein the difficulty lies , if not in the people ' s own apathy I and if it hes there , do they not justly merit all the suffering and degradation of which they complain ? For the last few years I have been endeavouring to rouse you to-the performance of your duty at municipal elections ; but strong as your expressed desires appear to be before tbe struggle , yoa merge into corruption and

      apathy upon the day of battle . You feast upon the poison of your enemies for a mesl or two ; and then disgorge , to the sad recollection that yen have justified The corruptor in bis woret- acts of oppression . This apatfey of the working classes is mainly attributable to the apathy of iheir leaders ^ and to the want of a proper system of Organization . Let but the leaders shew themselves worthy of confidence , by the honourable discbarge of their duties , and 1 will aEswer for the cordial co-operation of the people .

      I have this day ( Tuesday ) received the following letter from a hard-working man which I pnblish , as it contains tbe first remittance nnder the new Fian of Organization . The writer deserves great praise ; while I trust that his exampla will be followed by his own order ; and in the hope that om of stillness and oppression , active life and practical liberty may spring , I remain , Yonr faithful friend , FEiRGrs O'CojraoR .

      alANCHESTER—Carpemee ' s Hall—A lecture was delivered in the above Hull on Sunday evening last , by Mr . Wm . Dixen . The audience was large and respectable , who listened with marked attention to what tbe lecturer advanced . At the close of the lectare Mr . Dixon gave an account of the proceedings of tbe Birmingham Conference , The various provisions for the better Organization of the Chartist body referrod to by Mr . D . were received with the marked approbation of the vast assemblage . Mr . Dixon sat down amid- repeated rounds of applause . A gentleman in the body of the Hall moFed"That tbe thanks of the Chartists of Manchester be given to Mr . Dixon for his conduct in the Conference , and also for his lecture this evening . " Mr . T . Ranktn si-couded the motion , which was carried by acclamation .

      Thk Victims :-At the conclusion of the publio business a meeting of members took plaoe in order to elect a Victim Fund Committee , in accordance with the recommendation of the late Conference . The vounq hes of Manchester held their usual weekly meeting on' Tuesday nit ; ht , when John Hargraves delivered an interesting lecture . The audience was numerous and respectable . Thk North Lancashibb Delegate Meeting was held at Mr . Beesiey ' s , at Accnngton , on Sunday , the 17 th inBt . Delegates were present from Aecrington , Clitherqe , Blackburn , Colne , Sabden , Padiham , and Bacup . Mr . Smith officiated as Chairman ; Mr . Heaton as Secretary . Resolved—** That each delegate report the state of tbe locality

      he may represent , and that the Secretary take a verbatim report , andtbat it be sent to the Star , with a rcqaest to the Editor to insert it . " The Padiham delegate could not say that his locality has made much progress of lace , but was convinced ic would do . The late Conference had caused a good feeling that would ultimately work out something beneficial . The Sabden delegate said his district had been in a declining state ; but , through the new plan of Organization , had no doubt of speedy improvement . Believed that dissensions and bickerings had weakened tbe body . It is therefore the duty of every well-wishing Chartist to avoid such for the future . The Bacup delegate said his locality * # as in a low condition ; they bad at present only about

      fifteen members . Before the Strike , they had above one hundred- Whether they could raise them again by the new Plan of Organization he could not tell ; bnt were determined to try . The Colne delegate said his constituency was dissatisfied wib the new Plan of Organization ; when Mr . Marsden gave in a report of his stewardship , they took the opinion of the members npon it , and they could not find one that was in favour of it . Tftey think that such a preponderating power being given to the Executive will split the Chartist body up into sections . The Blackburn delegate said that in Blackburn they were gradually and steadily progressing ; they had about one hundred paying members . Ho bad not heard any complaints against the now

      Plan of Organization—( hear , hear ) . Tho Chairman said he was glad to hear so cheering an account from the Blackburn delegate . He wished be could sajr as much of his own locality ( Accrington ) ; they had no place to hold their lectures in , their members were few , and they were in debt , but they were determined to persevere . The Clitheroe delegate said that the democratic feeling and hatred of injustice and oppression was strong in Clitheroe . Tncro was not a locality in England that had greater obstacles to contend against . They had last week taken a house to meet in ; : but the authorities weie endeavouriDg to take it from them , but they would slick like wax , and would stand them a desperate

      strnggle for it . It was only the day before that the bill poster was stopped when posting placards , announcing a Chartist lecture ; and when tbe bill-poster asked the reason , be was told that the Mayor bad given orders that no . such placards should be posted . The anthorities wero determined to put Chartism down , and the Chartist body were determined to rai ? e it up . A vote of thanks was given to the ChairmaD , when tee delegates determined to labour with redoubled energy in the good cause . It was resolved nnanimously : " That a delegate meeting be held on Sunday , Oct . S . h , . 1843 , in the Social Institute , Padiham , at eleven * o ' clock in the forenoon , when delegates from all localities in North Lancashire are respeej / ul ] y requested to attend .

      Ms . Ricrabd Mabsdejv , on bis return from tho Birmingham Coirer ^ uce , save an account of his stewardship in tbe Chartist Keom , York-street , on Friday evening , the lo : h instant . Mr . Al . went through the doings of the Conference in a brief and unsophisticated manner , and at the conclusion a vote of thankB was passed to him for his services . SONDERLAND . —Mr . DickinBon , of Manchester , bas been holding a series of very successful meetings in Sunderland , and has excited no little enthusiasm in all who heard him . The result has been a considerable addition to the Chartist ranks in that town . Mr . DickinBon baa gone to Cumberland , bnt will shortly return to Suuderland , when the new Organization wil be forthwith carried out . Any locality in the county of Durham wishing for the services of Mr . D ., must write to Mr . Christopher Scott , No . 10 , Ropery Lane . Sunderland .

      KiMBERX-EY . —A considerable number of tbe Nottingham Chartists paid a visit to Kimberley on Snnday last , and held large meetings in the afternoon and evening , which were addressed with good effect by Messrs . Dorman , Barber , and Pepper . OLDHAM . —On Sunday evening last , the Chartists of this locality met in their room , Greave ' sstreet , when the New Plan of Organization was abJy read by Mr . S . Yardlcy . The audience was nnmerous and respectable , and gave general

      satisfaction . At the members' meeting on Mono ' cTcnicg , 10 s . was voted to be sent to Mr . O'Connor , for the Executive Committee to commence their labours , as the good men and true arc quite anxious to enrol under the Kew PJan . It likewise may not be uninteresting to the Charfist pablic to know that in consequence of the refusal of the Town Hall for Mr . O'Connor to deliver » lecture in , by the shau : Radicals , upwards of one hundred shares have been taken , in five wnk ' a time , for the erection of a Working Man ' s Hall .

      BBISTOIt—At the usual meeting of the Bristol Chartist ? , on Monday evening , it was resolved" That the whole of the members be summoned to the weekly meeting , to take the necessary steps for carrying ont the new plau of Organization . " CARLISLE . —Meeting of the Council of the Carlisle Chartist Asscciation . —A public meeting of the above-named body took plac at their room , No . 6 , John-street , Caldewgate , on Sunday last , Mr . John Gilbertson in the chair . Several sums were paid in from different districts , for the use of the Association , afiervwhieh tho minutes of last meeting were read over and confirmed . The leading article of last week ' s Star , on the subject of the Victim Fundwas read over and approved of ; also the the

      , addreES of the late Conf ^ rerce on snme subject . A very animated discussion followed , as to the proprkty of having a general collection on Saturday evening , tbe 23 rd inst . It was then moved . by Mr . James Muir , and seconded by Mr . James O'Neil , ** That a collection be in arie on Saturday next , in aid of the Tictim Fund . " Mr . Carruthers said that as £ lhad been already sent to > heVie ; im Fund , and a balance of 7 s . 6 d . being in band , he would move ¦** That the balance on hand be pent to ftp Victim Fund , and no collection made en Saturdsy first . ' This amendment having been msonded , was about to be put , when Mr . William Coulthard moved as a further amendment ^ and Mr . Joseph Bro wn seconded the same , " That a collection be made on Saturday nd that

      first , for the Victim and Defence Funds , a the Council have t > . o power of applying it to either one or the other . " On which Mr . Garruthers withdrew his amendment , j&nd Mr . CotiHhaTd ' s was carried by a majoriiy of eight to two . The address of the Conference was then read 6 y the Chairman , " and highly applauded . Mr . Arthur then drew the attention , of the Gounoil to the subject of tbose persons whese fate was still undecided in the Court of Queen ' s Bench ; as he believed , that many persons in the country were not aware they W 6 re to be again called up , but considered they were all cleared ; so that it was highly necessary that the country fully uuderatdod the facts of the case . It was then moved . by Mr . Henry Bowman , and seconded bv Mr . James Muir . — " That the members

      gone the round ef the borough , and we aio told that 390 electors have signed a pledge to support no Parliamentary candidate who is not a' six point man . Tbe Committee boast that a gentleman ef the " right Bort " ia in readiness whenever an opportunity occurs . Wby not mukehim popular by bringing : him out ? He has nothing to fear from Chartist opposition . If he is one of the " righfc sort , " the democrats of Btadford -will , to a man , work night and day to ensure his return . But they will not be i ^ luied by promises of something f ? ojd in store , without better proof than has yet been ojfered . They will have their say on the question . Comtuitteemeri ' s promises will not do : the man must be a Chartist in reality , to ensure our support .

      NOTTINGHAM .- [ Arrived too late for publication last week ]—A publio meeting ; was held in the Democratic Chapel , on Tuesday evening , to hear the report of the delogatu to the Birmingham Conference . Mr . B . Humphries was unanimously called to the chair , after which Mr . R . T . Morrison briefly detailed the proceedings at Birmingham , and pointed out the leading provisions of the plan , and their application to practice . He explained , the alterations that bad been made in it , and concluded by pointing out the advantages attendant upon the plan adopted , not only as an efficient and safe organ ' zition , but as interweaving oar principles with the social relations of Hfo , removing pitjudice , pointing out our ulterior measures , and providing a place where the slight savings of the people would be used for their

      own benefit and the attainment of their rights , instead of being employed against them , and to continnc their slavery—( cheers ) . He would be glad to answer any questions and give every information to them in bis power . Mr . H . Dovtnan said that it "was doubtless very pleasiDg to have the land in prospective ; but tbe plan provided for the paople to pay either threepence or sixpenee per week to the Land Fund ; and how would they be able to pay such a sum ? Tho Conference seemed to forget the condition of the people ; it was possible that the membars of the Conference might pay such a sum , bnt they should have remembered they wero legislating net for themselves but for the working classes . Mr . Morrison could assure him that they bod not forcot the condition of the people . He had proposed that the

      subcription to the Land Fund should be from threohalfpence to one shilling per week , and It was ultimately acreed upon , that it should range from a penny to a shilling Mr . H . Dorman still considered that the Conference had made a class distinction and be wished to know whether they bad or not He wished to be informe 4 whether tJia man- who paid one penny per week would have a cbaccs at getting npon the land as 0000 as the man who paid one shilling ; for if that waB not tbe ease , they bad taken an undue advantage , of tbe poor . Mr . Morrison explained that the means of deciding- who Hhouid be first located upon tbe land was by lot . The provision for lotting -woo left witn the Expcntive or future Gonfereiices j . Cut it Would not he supposed in the present state of society that thoBe who contributed

      the rnoit would lja . ve a greater chance of be ? : i * - located soonest . He vron'd wish to seo tbe tiniu when every man would cous'dor it to be his duty to do the utmost he ceultf for ; the good of society ; but in the prastut state , if there Wt-re not additional advanu ^ s unending a abiding contribution over tbe penny ouc , he would ; isk how many shilling subscribers they would bave ? The Land Fund must be looked ; upon as a place of deposit ,- and if they only gave an interest to those who contributed cue shilling the saint ) aa if they contributed ouepemiy , he was afraid the ; contributions would be small . In such a enso operations would be crippled to tbe detriment even of tbe smaller subscribers , and the larger ones would still be deposited with their oppressors —( hear , bear . ) All were equal iu the poltucal

      part of the plan . Mr . J . Barber understood that if any person was unable to pay bis subscription to tbe General Fund he would be dismissed ; but it was explained tbat if any pewon , through sickness or poverty , was unable to pay hia contribution , he . should still continue a member aad' be entitled to take part and vote by bis j ; ame being enrolled , and having his curd renewed , which was not charged for except when be first entered . Thty had also provided fer shilling % uorteily <^* 4 g | those wko wished to pay their sn&u iptif > :: 8 ; 0 mjJM and endeavoured to adnpt the Plan to all caselMBr Dorman and Mr . Patera offered some further « $ »« vations as to tlie inability of tho people to carry cut tba allotment system . Mr . Barber instanced the Orango Cluba aud Trades' Unions , to show that the

      Government . ' could at any time suppress them . Mr . Morrison , afterriniying as to the inability of tbe people to carry out th 6 ' ajlifrtmen !; system , showed that if their arguments were ' cilieect , all the ol'js ;' . tions which hud beea taken on this and former pcoasiuns f » . -Ii to the ground ; for afc any rate it enabled tbnci to have a m&re safe and efficient organisation than they ever had or could kave by other uuaus . Hq would ask whether they could point out any other organizttion tqual to it , independent of the land fund , or whether they could devise od

      with the rigUts of property . Now ' . our ovsiit . ^ zitlon was formed in Btrfct accordance with the L . ^ s ; and before ft could ba suppressed they must either deny , by a special Act , pri . tcc'ion to property to those who entertained certain opinions , or put down all bepetit socials , and inttrfero with tbe social arrangemenVB of nearly half the peope . They would not do either one or tbe other ; but should tfapy do so , they would ; render out cause the most tffectuil service , by rousing such a spirit of imiiRnation < is th » -y would find it no easy mutter to withstand —( cheers ) . A vote of thanks was proposed and corned unanimously , amidst considerable applause , to Mr . R . T . Morrison for bis services at the Jate Birmingham Conference , and to the Cbairmau , lor bis impartial conduct .

      STOCKPORT . Mr . Thomas Clark lectured here on Sunday evening last . The audience was numerous . Tbe lecturer j dwelt at considerable length on the power the working classes possessed , if they bad sufficient goodjgense . to brinp ; it to boar against their enemies , and ] proved to demonstation , that until working men ceased to spend tjieir bard earnings in supporting bloated publicans , they would not riithor possess , or deserve to have their Charter . The lecturer concluded a lengthy and telling address by calling upon bis hearers ; one and all , to become members of the New Association . The sum of 9 d . 4 J 4 . was oolleoted at the door .

      DUMFttlES . —On ' . Monday se'nmght , Mr . Wardrop delivered his weekly ] address in the Market Place : subject , " The Combination Laws . " The leoture was a good one , aiid weli received by a numerous audience ; indeed , these meetings appear to increaao on every occaaion . To-night be had intended to discuss the question of Organization , and lay the new plan before ihe people , but was prevented by family affliction . ) The plan of the Conference is greatly approved ot iu this locality . DON 0 KE .-Mr . JohniArran , from Bradford , who is uow officiating on the Sundays in the Chartist church here , delivered a lecture in the above place on the evening of Monday last . The lectare occupied about an hour and a half ; the sabjeoc

      being " The advantages to be derived from a Charter Parliament . " . He was listened to throughout with marked attention aud repeatedly cheered ; indeed we have seldom listened with more pleasure to any lecture delivered in tbe same place . At the- close of tbe above lecture the usual weekly meeting of the Democratic Council , for the transacting of business was convened , when jaftor the necessity for a utiion between England and Scotland being entered into , it wa $ moved and carried by acclamation , — " Tnat we invite Messrs . 0 'Connor and Duncomoe to honour this place with ] a visit at thoir earliest convenience in order to lay the foundation of a union between the two countries , as alto to bring into active operation the English Plan of Organization . "

      After some routine business being transacted the meeting br . ^ ke up with a strong desire on their part that tho other towns in Scotland should follow this example , being convinced | that a visit from these gentlemen would most effectually establish that union so much desired by the people of England , and also by a great portion , indeed we believe the great m * jjrity , of the people of Scotland . ""^ GLASGOW , —The weekly meeting of the Committot of the Charter Association was held in the Young Men ' s Academy , College-street , on Monday evening , Mr . Mitchell in tbe chair . Mr . Smith moved tha"" tbe committee , in order to extend ihe operations of the Association , do agree to get up lectures in tho various districts in the neighbourhood

      of the city . Mr . Colquhoua moved an amendment to the effect , that as the fflan of National Organization adopted by the late Birmingham Confareuce , was now before the couairy , th < y ( the Directors ) should take no further steps till the people of Glasgow had decided whether to j An the National Assooiation , or continue as the Glasgow Association The amendment was supported by Mr . Adams , and others . On the vote being taken , the amendment was carried ail but uantiiraou ^ ly . Mr . Colquhoun moved that a committee be appointed to inquire as to the best works on the ifaciory system , and agriculture . Agre d to . Ic jwas then agreed , on the motion of Mr . Adams , that ihe New Plan of Organization bo taken into oonsidci&tion on Monday evening next ; and from the importance of the subject , the collectors were linstructed to make it as widely known as possible . ! It is therefore oXpected

      that all these who take an interest in this important movement will consider it their duty to be present ; we have been long in the way of pulliug down , it "is now high time we were beginning to build up . To tho mere ] declaimer the Plan now issued may not b « congenial ; to the trafficking . politician it holds out no hope . Those whose object was to live upon tho movement , are not likely to giro much countenance , or co-operation , to what is calculated to destroy theirj prospeots . It is time we were out of the hands of both the one and the other ; and it is to be hoped that our English brethren will be guarded in { their choice of those who may be fixed upon as lecturew . Much will depend , not Only upon their talent , but ou their prudence and moral rectitude A single false step , however unintentional , would entail more disaster on the cause than ahythjue that ! has hither : o befallen us .
