      PKOGFKESS OF THE NEW PLAN OP ORGANIZATION . By the subjoined address , from the General Secretary elect . of the New National Chabter Absooatios , it will bs seen that the Plas has J > een duly laid before the certifying Barrister ; and that Tuesday next is fixed by him for the returning of hi 3 answer . Next week , therefore , we fully expect to be able to announce the ENROLMENT of the " Laws and Constitution . '

      In the meantime all is being done , that can be done , to forward the good work of active practical operations . The Executive elect ; or at least such of them as reside in London , met on Thursday , to arrange such preliminary matters as presented themselves to their attention . As soon as the Ejtrolsisst 1 b perfected , measures for the procurement of ihe Chaeteb authorising the holding of Branches , Trill be taken ; and cards of Membership got ready ; but it would not be prudent to actually prepare ibese , before the Law ? , of which they are detail necessaries , are actually Enrolled j actually placed ont of doubt .

      Steps hayfbeen taken for the getting up of a . set cf "books for Branch purposes ; a set of books at ones simple , efficient , and uniform : by means of which ihe Branch accounts can be intelligibly kept . -On -5 T 5 TEX much depends i and in no poraon of out operations is ststex so much seeded , as in the matter of accounts . By the set of book 3 that will be prepared , the accouats can be kept so as to be ready , at any time , to be laid before the members , without having to wait for much " making up , " or its being

      accessary to draw . oui a balance sheet' before they are at all understandable . This Is of great impon--aace . The success of © nr operations , especially now fcai those operations involve the working of two , or more , distinct Fctds , will greatly depend on the simplicity and uniformity wUSi which the accounts are kept . If we bare not system , confusion will soon creep in , in spite of the best intention : and where confusion is , coxftdesce cannot exist : * nd without confidence success is hopeles . With 5 Tstem and simplicity , cosfidbsce is sure to exist .

      There will need , in the first instance , a General ¦ Mxxbebs * EsBOiXEST Book , " in each Branch , setting forth , under distinct heads , the number ; name , Christian and surname ; place of abode ; occupation ; whether married or single ; if married , number of family ; and whether roter , Parliamentary or municipal , of every member ; together with such other information as may be dsemed useful and necessary for local purposes , This enrolment wMl be invaluable at electioiiS . There is the information at race , as to the extent and whereabouts of certain Chartist Srength . And many occasions will arise when the " information afforded by this perfect enrolment of the members can be used with manifest benefit to the general cause .

      There will also need , in addition to thiB Central Enrolment Book , a " Costbuctjoji Book , " for boih the Pnnds , Geeeeal and Spectax ; bo arranged as to enable the Secretary to keep both jund * perfectly distinct , yet both in one book , to preTent complexity and delay . This will be found to be amply provided for ; and the system so simple that a man with half an eye cannot go wrong . There will also need a ** Cash Book , " in which to enter aB the proceeds of the Branch , from

      whatever source ; but still the several fnnd 3 distinctly B&t forth . ; bo that at any time ihe amount received on each , and the amount in hand , can be immediately set forth . The payments , too , either of proportion of General Pund to Executive Committee ; or of whole Land Pund to General Trea-Bsrer ; or of Miscellaneous Fund for the general expenses of the Branch , most sUso be distinctly set forth . This will be accomplished in a ample and cEcient manner , in the Cash Book jncjtaxed for l eneral U 3 e by the Branches .

      The " Txbascbeb ' s Book" will also be prepared is a manner to € cable him , at once , to say what , ihe amount of money paid into his bands on the STeral and distinct iunds ias been i and also to specify hiB payments under each distinct head . Thus system , clear and uniform , will be at once introduced and enforced . With such a system , and ordinary vigilance and caution , it will scarcely be possible for any Branch to get wrong in Jts accounts : "w ithout some such system , it will hardly b * possible to prevent confusion asd error , eren where the dispesiuon is all on the side of right and truth .

      Por the GzKEBAi Sxckexabt » set of books most ke prepared , at once clear , simple , defined , and compreh ensive ; book 3 worthy of the magnitude of our Association ; and a credit io the business-habits of the Executive Committee-men . The General Secrekry iniljunemuch to do , with the best and most simple set of books thas can be devised : but his labonr " » 3 be enhanced ten-fold , and still unsatisfactorily Performed , if not applied on srsrsi , er with a bad aad TraintelUgible set of bookB . On this bead we etc s&d jo hayetQ record ! the fact , that every assistaw has been romptly wd kindlj ofsrsd by

      those who have had much experience io guide them i who have had that experience to purchase at a dear rate ; but who will gladly give ns the benefit of it , by setting forth tTieirsrsTzu , with all the suggestionafor improvement | that later experience has prompted . We therefore confidently expect that our General Secretary will be at once enabled to commence operations in a manner not at all equalled by any society of working men that ever yet had being . Thi 3 , of itself , is of high moment . With confusion in the general office , system in the branches would be of little comparative value ; with system all

      through , from head office downward , it will be impossible to prevent success . - Of course , all these preparations will take some time , even after the plaitIs enrolled . But that need not deter the several localities from entering upon their preparations also . They have much to do , before they are ready for full operations . Applica tions for Charters , signed by at least ten names , will have to be forwarded to the General Executive Committee , as soon as it is called into active being by the enrelment of the flan ; and these can be immediately prepared . The form is given in the Plan of Organization ; that form should be neatly copied on a sheet of good foolscap paper ; and when

      ruled in accordance with the printed form , so as to set forth in columns the information specified , it can be signed by the ten names fixed upon in each locality to be appointed to it . Then when the lawsareenrolled , and the Executive called inactive operation , the " application" can be duly forwarded , with a Btatement as to the number of caxds , &c . that will be required . As soon as the Charter and cards are ready for delivery , they will be forwarded to all those places whsre the Executive Committee deem it expedient to grant them . These " applications " then , can be immediately prepared ; so that no delay may occur in the procurement of the Chabtebs authorising tbe holding of Branches , after they are ready for issue .

      V * e nave said that the " application" should be neatly prepared . Such " applications" will have to be duly filed and preserved in the archives of the Association ; and will , perhaps , in after times , be -looked upon with no ordinary degree of interest by t&ose who then enjoy freedom and happiness , secured to them by the efforts of their fathers through tnis very Association . Each locality can also canvas for , and procure ,

      lists of names for due Enrolment in the general books of the Association as soon as it is in active toistence . Tney will also need funds for their Broach Chabtjcb ; for books of accounts ; for cards ; and for other expences . These they can be now raising i bj contributions among themselves and by donations from friends . The breathing time that is thus afforded , before active energetic operations , commence may be most usefully employed , in getting together the sinews of war .

      As soon as a Branch is called into existence , by the Chabteb being in their possession , an election for queers in the manner set forth in ihe Plan will take place : such election being for tbe period intervening between and the time fixed for the general quarterly election * But , before hand , the several localities can talk the matter over , aa to who would be likely to invest with office ; regard , we hope , being continually had to tbe capability of the parties to £ 11 tbe several situations . To have the Px . a » EFFICIENTLY worked , the officials must be EFFICIENT men . This is the first , the main consideration , after honesty and integrity .

      All thi 3 the people in their several localities can immediately see to . They can also aid in another vital m&tter . The Executive , when called into active being , will need support . The zsnoiXEirr of the laws will cost money . We believe that the fee is one guinea for every county in which the rales are Enrolled . It has been determined , by the Committee of Conference , to Enrol in the three main English ( Chartist ) counties at first ; and the others can be Enrolled in at anytime afterwards , as circumstances may call for . The Scotch Counties will also receive attention , when the Executive meets with full authority .

      But this Enrolment will cost money . There will also need account books for the general office ; offlcefittings ; and many other expenses . To meet these wfr should have a voluntary subscription . The call made by Mr . O'Coraoa in last Siar should be well responded to . We are happy to see that some localities have alreadyiresponded , by -voting sums of money oat of their fands for this purpose . By next

      week we trust to see the example generally followed . There is also the suggestion and example of Mr . Staixwood , recorded at ihe end of Mr . O'Conkob ' b letter of this day . That , too , is deserving of imitation . Much of tbe efficiency of our movement depends upon the start it gets : and if started well at head-quarters , it will rnn a far better chance of a good start in each Branch . Let us then stabtthe ExECtTirvE well ! Let this be one of our . bounden

      duties . Mr . O'Connor commenced , last week , by his subscription of £ 2 . This very day a gentleman called at the office ; and after handing over to us £ 1 for tbe Victim Tvkd , also gave us another £ 1 for the New Executive ; convinced , as he expressed himself , that the movement now to be made is allimportant ; and that its success will be mnch forwarded by extensive moket-bpppobt at the beginning That subscription we thus chronicle : — Mr . Titus S . Brooke , Dewsbury £ 1 To it we add : — Editor of Northern Star J £ l

      BaviDg now practised , as well as preached , we trust we are entitled to call on others to " go and do likewise . " There are many attached to our ranks ; and many more not openly joined with us , to wtom a sovereign Ib of little consequence ; not so much as a penny is to a hand-loom weaver . From these u > e have a right to expect support . We trast they will take the hint ; those of them who read the Northern Star . ThiB movement is one of vital consequence . It is fob them to see to it , that their part is fully performed .

      We hear , too , of many parties who " are hotting ASxiotJSLi on , " at tbe step we are taking ; and who are " highly satisfied at tbe ? bogbess we have made . " These parties are bound to lend pecuniary aid . On them we call . We do not ask them to join ns . Probably they may have enongb to do . in other Associations ; but we have a right to ask for moneysympathy from tbe wealthy of them . That will be the best evidence of their high satisfaction ; and it will add another link to tbe chain that is to bind all

      friends of the poor in one firm union at last . To them , therefore , we appeal . Aid given now will be of more value than when we less need it . ** A hint to the wise is sufficient . " Of conrse , where it is desired , the names of donors will be published , when their subscriptions are announced : where it iB not desired , they can be set forth m any way the partie 3 wish . Mr . O'Cosnob is General Treasurer ; and all monies sent to him , care of Mr . i . Cleave , 1 . Shoe Lane , Fleet-street , will be duly acknowledged

      and applied . Commending these remarks , suggestions , sad appeals to the several parties to whom they are ad-Uressed , we now give the statement ofj&l ^ kneral Secretary elect as to what has been d * 3 SlB ^ i *^ Ekboucent of the laws : — . j ^^^ Hra | c TO THE CHABTISTS OP VBXAXmKK ^ Bf ^ ' Knowing that you are anxiously awaJSnO » resnlt of onr progress * in obtaining tbe Enrolment of tfio FJan of Organisition agreed npon by youi Delegates in Confer-* nce assembled , I hasten to lay before you an account of onr labours .

      BEPUBtlCANISM : IN SPAIN . WHO IS THE PROPHET ? Let us see how the matter about which we have been pr » diotiDg ^^ o ^ ; We foretold that tbe visit of the ftueen to ^ jp ^^ . ^ f the French , meant more than the meft' ^ lndiTng of compliments between an j | 3 man and a Joung woman . We said that the old Diplomatist would play for Spain ; but the Times for a long time was shy , and would not bite . We directed attention to the fact that the all-absorbing question for the consideration of the little congress , would be the means by which the growing demand -for Republicanism could be ar ~ .

      rested . " We directed attention to the horror with which the idea of Spain declaring for a Republic would strike the " King of the Barricades " . We animadverted upon the precipitancy with which the Cabinet of St . James ' s had recongnized the Government of the bloody Narvez , and his bloody soldier-shooting , liberty-destroying crew . True , the Times told us that" our Government recognized the tyrant ' s title no further than ordering our Minister at the Court of Spain to transact business with the usurper " . How much further he could have gone under present circumstances we are at a loss to understand ; but shall look to the Leading Journal for information . It appears that the bloody ruffian , ? ySiB «

      vezj is so haunted by his biffl ( f | $ HjB his treasons , and his treacheries , thatJfi ^ g HBJtl summoned by Cbistina , tbe SpamsH ' pMH 6 jp maker and prime favourite of the Frenctiu ^ jltO attend her in Paris ; and for what purpose does the reader think t Why to invite French aid in the establishment of Spanish tyranny , and to secure the Spanish throne as a marriage portion for the French King ' s son ! ¦ And how does the reader suppose tbe noninterfering Leading Journal prepares tbe way for such intervention ? Why thus : " A measure" ( saya the Times of Thursday ) " which appears to indicate some desire to coalesce with ANY THING that is not revolutionary , in order to stay the FLOOD OF

      REPUBLICANISM WITH WHICH SPAIN AND ITS RULERS ARE THREATENED . " . Now then , may we not sorrowfully , bat proudly ask , ' \ Who is the prophet V * Aye , and the one great ghost that haunts the mind of every tyrant npon earth 1 b the u Flood op Repbblicanism , " with whi cb misrule is THREATEN ED . " The curious article in the Times come upon us so late in the week than * we have not time to give it that "flood of republican" consideration which it so jnstly merits ; but welmnst observe that upon no one subject has the meandering Times felt itself compelled to make bo many chops , slopes , and changes upon so much of the Spanish question and French intrigue as . has com « under the review of that Jim Crow Journal .

      Aye ! Spain is sure to become a Republic , and God speed her ! Espabtebo is likely to be the first President , and then Louis Philippe will squeak And after he has gone , bow many years purchase will tbe other European Thronea ( always excepting England ) be worth ] Who can say ?

      W . E . will see that his letter is not inserted . Ib is not withheld from any disrespect to himself personally , or from any desire to prevent him occupying his proper position before the Chartist public ; but wholly aud solely from a fear that its insertion , involving as that insertion would rep /}/ and explanation , would cause discussions of a nature not at all desirable at the present time , because they wonld inevitably lead to distraction from that which should be the one sole object of erery friend at the present moment , the reorgsniZitionof our ranks . Many matters are mooted in the letter , and pat in such a way , as would be sure to cause attention . To let these go without BEPLY would be unjust to other parties ; and thus a discussion would inevitably arise ; adiscuB&ion of thatnatuxe , too , which would be sure to lead to disunion . Under

      these circumstances , land for these reasons , we have determined to withhold the cause that to us appears pregnant with ^ cb injurious effects .

      John Smart , Aberdeen , in reference to the New Organization , says—•• ¦ We -will now take np the new scheme with earnestness and determination .

We can inform our Correspondent that the men of Aberdeen do not stand alone in their determination to forthwith join their English brethren . From all quarters of " North the Tweed * we have letters of congratulation on the adoption by the Delegates , of the " New Plan " . We ha . ve long been talking of and urging tbe union of tbe

This alone is worth all the labour and expence of the late Conference ; tnis alone wi ] l be a proud reward to the delegates for their labours , —the consciousness that , frem their deliberations has resulted a measure which will bind in the holy bonds of brotherhood the long-divided , and therefore long-oppressed , people of " merrie England" and " bonnie Scotland" .

The Plan has been adopted by the English Chartists through their delegates , in-Btructed for that purpose .

Address , John Frechely , Ballyhavnis Post-office , county of Mayo , Ireland . Henry Dowkll Griffiths writes us that according to the Times newspaper , the horse-patrol of "K , °

      " N , " and " 8 " divisions of the Metropolitan Police Force were " inspeoted and exercised on Hackney Downs , by Mr . Commissioner Mayne , who put them through various evolutions , and expressed hfmself much pleased , with their discipline and personal appearance . Their inu 8 ter , / uUj / accoutred with cut / asses , pistols , &c . caused seme sensation in the neighbourhood . " -Mr . Griffiths adds : " Now , there need not be any * sensation' whatever on the subject , if people would give it but half tbe attention they give to their pipes and pots . I have long foreseen what tbe Police Force would become ; and I cannot find words sufficiently strong" , to express the contempt I feel for those who have so pig-headedly closed their eyes to this growing curse as now to feel' sensation '

      at what was predicted long Bince as certain to result from tbe establishment of this odious and anti-English spy and bludgeon force . " E . RiLET will see from Mr . Wheeler ' s letter in another column that in all likelihood the plan will be Enrolled by tbe time , or witfain a Yew hours after this meets the eye of our correspondent . With respect to the " Charters" they are indispensible for tbe opening of all Branches . They are intended to guard tbe body against anything like spurious membership ; to prevent any number of persons , who might be even opposed to Chartism , getting together , and calling themsslves a Branch of the body . The " Charters" will afford to the body at large a guarantee , that worthy and fitting characters only will

      belong to the Association ; and when any Branch shows itsfclf unworthy or unfit , its " Charter" ( as provided for in the rules ) will be withdrawn . Tbe words of the clause in which ' payment for tbe "Charter "' is provided for , are , " a sum not exteeding 2 b . 6 d . shall be charged , < ko . " This is merely to cover the cost of the document , which it is intended shall be of a superior description—fit to be framed and glezid and bung up in tbe room of the Branch : an honourable oroamest , which the members will regard with honest pride , as tbe authority by which they meet as members of the NttUonal Caatter Association . We are glad to find that E . Riley's locality is anxious for tbe Enrolment of tbe plan . Such we are happy to say is the feeling generally .

      Ashton . —We see by a Liverpool paper that there is another partial turn-out of the Ashton Spinners . We have received a large printed placard addressed to tbe master manufacturers , for which we have not room . It appears from tbe placard , that the Messrs . Hall and Co . Currin-Iane , are paying a rate of wages far below that of other firms , and far below that agroed to be paid by all the firms—the Messrs . H . and Co . included . The result is , that other firms are compelled , or encouraged to reduce wages also . Hence tbe turn-out . Other grievances are complained of . We hope the truly respectable manufacturers of tbe town will take the side of the men in opposing a system pregnant with misery to the working , and rain in the long run to all other classes . Henry Pitt . —We fear our correspondent has bnt little chance of recovering the money . The expence of trying will be considerable ; and his chances of success are but slender indeed .

Bub what shall we say of men who protesting against such actB of infaniy , and thundering forth their anathemas against foreign persecutors , rafuse liberty ofspeech to tbeir fellow countrymen , andrcsort to violence only second to that of the Turks and Portugeese , to prevent persons , at least aa honest as themselves from being beard at a public meeting . Here is a case in point . A meeting was called at Edinburgh to symathiae with Dr . Kalley , whose offence by-thebye is the undefined aodj undefineable crime called " Blasphemy . " A lat of nen-intrusiorrist ministers , who are also , according to ( their own account , " suf * ferns for conscience-sake , '' took the lead ; the notorious Dr .

      Was heard wich every attention . The resolution was . seconder ) , when just as the Lord Provost roae to pnfc the resolution , a Mr .

He was immediately assailed by the " sympathisers" with ^ HjijBft" turn him out , "; and a most tremendous ^^^¦ ft * hisses , and expressions of disapprobation , ^^^ flpfon of all this was , that Mr .

      immediately took Mr Jeffrey ' s place ; the police dragged him away I Mr .

His hair torn from his head t He was beaten with slicks , j and his head laid open ! Having thus effectually quelled opposition , If any was intended , though we believe the object ef Mr . Jeffrey and his friends was simply that of making the rasolutionB of the meeting snore nniversal in their character , by denouncing persecution tor opinion ' s sake , no matter by whom practised Tbe sympathisers proceeded with , and finished their business , denouncing in loud and long harangues the cruel persecution of Catholics , and abusing with rieht good

      • will tbe Church of Rome as the mother of all abominations . Jeffrey and Patkuson wete the next day charged at the Edinburgh police-office with " committing a breach of the peace . " The sort of evidence against t . em rpay ba gathered from the following . One of the witnesses said : "Thinks an individual comes for tbe j purpose of disturbing a meetiDg when he rises to address it after a resolution is proponed and seconded " . ) When could or should an "individual" rise to " address a meeting" but then ? What a precious idea this witness must have of " free discussion " , and the laws by which public meetings are governed . We have seldom heard of so brutal and outrageous a violation of public decency and individual right as this case shews . We have

      given publicity to the case , that tbe public may know , and justly mark with their reprobation , the persecuting spirit of these hypocritical pretenders to liberality , and cloven-footed advocates of " civil and religious liberty j" meaning | thereby liberty only for themselves and chains for jail tbe rest of mankind . The case is not Jet , decidedj having been adjourned . We shall look out for the ! decision npon it . It is of importance . The right of conduct at pnblic meeting is involved in it . H . Jones , Liverpool . —Never mind tbe antics of the poor disappointed man . Go on without him ; or if he will not permit this , butjinfiicts bis presence an J nvrdling , just quietly hear what he has to say , and then " go on" with your own business , as though

      be had never spoken or ( been near you at all . If his object is division or turmoil , don't gratify him- Treat him with that contempt which his conduct merits . Most assuredly he will net be gratified by seeing himself and doings "in print " He may " dare the Liverpool men to publish" as long as ha pleases : but no publication here 1 It is sufficient that the Liverpool men know him . His power for barm is there ended . If he betakes himself elsewhere , the remembrance of his former doings will follow him .

      REPEAL ASSOCIATION . —MONDAY . Tbe usual weekly meeting ! of this body was beli at tbe Corn Exchange to-day , Michael J . Con way in the chair . The advertisement convening the meeting announced that Mr . 0 Connell would attend ; but it was scarcely possible he could arrive in Dublin in sufficient time , having to travel from Clifden , a distance of one hundred and forty miles . j Mr . Flannedy , the Editor of the Freeman ' s Journal , handed in several j subscriptions ; amongst others that of Mr . Samuel Gordon , of No . 23 , Aungierstreet , a gentleman who has heretofore taken an active part in forwarding Tory opinions up to a very late Deriod . ;

      Mr . Connor , the well-known advocate of fixity of tenure , rose , as be said , to give notice that on the next day of meeting ho would move the adoption of a resolution to the following effect :- — " That until our national rights of self-legislation , be in the possession of our own Parliament , and of a valuation and perpetuity of his farm to the tenant , we Repealers shall pay no rent , county cess , rent charge , tithe , poor rate , or any other charge on land . " He was an enemy to oppression—Mr . John O'CONNELL begged to interrupt Mr . Connor . Ha highly approved of Mr . Connor ' s conduct and untiring exertions to put an eiid to the dreadful system , of extermination practised by Irish Tory landlords , but ht could ; not agree in the motion of which Mr . Connec gave notice , therefore he hoped that it would be withdrawn—( hear ) . i

      Mr . Connor said if he was offered his life as She condition of withdrawing that notice , b » would not accept it ; therefore he would stand ox fall by that resolution . He was determined——Mr . John O'Connell was sorry t& » be obliged to interrupt Mr . Connor again . iAny roambe * of the association had a right to give ] a notice of motion , but that motion sheuld be a legal one . and not such as the present , wbicb he believed to be entirely illegal—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . He repeated , that that notice would bring tbe £ . BBOciatioa under the notice of the law . i Mr . Connor said he would pay no charge ont of land nntil the Irish Pa rliament was restored —( hear ) . Irishmen , continued b e , the humbug has been going on long enough ; so I

      will——Mr . John O'Conn ell : I must call yon again to order , sir . This Aa' jociation ' must follow the dictates of the law . We ba ve always avoided committing ourselves , and we w ? . ii not now depart from the greai moral principle r * e have established , and in pursuing which we have shown such a bright example to the rest of tbe wo rjd—( cheers ) , j If observations suGh as Mr . Connor b '^ s given expression to were approved of by the A ? aociation , it would endanger the great and gloriou j cauee of Repeal—( loud cheering ) . I ( continued Mr . J . O'Gonnell ) call on you again , Mr . Connor , t o withdraw that notice ; if you do cot do so , I so . ' ill ba obliged to move that the chair U vacated r jkI the meeting dissolved . TH ' chairman—I recommend yon , Mr . Connor , to 9 dopt the very prudent and proper advice given Wa by the member for Kilkenny . I certainly will * iot receive any such notice— - ( hear ) . 1 Mr .

      do . I have given notice of tha motion , and all I want ia that the gentlemen of the press shall give the motion in the newspapers , and thus it will pam through them to the people of Ireland—( confusion ; . The chairman said Mr . Connor treated the asaodation with" disrespect , if he brought for ward his motion ; merely for the purpose of having it inserted in the newspapers , and not to have it publicly diseusaed by the association—( hear , hear ) . It wa $ a motien which ought not to have been introduced there at all ; A calm followed this scens of excitement , by the perusal of some money letters from the cosntry , but it was not of lone duration , for

      Mr . John O'Connell rose agsrSn , and said he regretted being obliged to re-enter upon a subject , the introduction of which pained him coaaitlerabiy—( hear , hear ) . It was not treating the association fairly to introduce such a matter there —( hear , hear ) . The effect of £ 3 eb . a motion , if adopted , would be Io divert the public mind from the peaceable progress they were making , and to bring them in direct collision with the law authorities of the land . Had that notice come from any body else but him , it would not matter so much—( best )—and at a moment , too , when they vreto informed , en the authority of tbe Curlow Sentinel , thafr opposition to rent bad begun in the county Carlow , and that it bad even reached portions of Tipper&ry . He

      was not surprised at this unconstitutional violencethis traitorisin to Repeal and the country , spreading ia CiXtlew . becaujs that county was the blank in the Repeal map of Ireland—( cheers ) . He was of opinion that they should strike off ths Repeal roll tbe names" of such persons as bed taken part' in , or who had not endeavoured to put an end to this violence in Carlow and Tipperary ; and that , in addition , t&ey should adopt s . resolution , to the effect that they h&t £ heard with the strongest disapprobation and deep-regret the sentiments put forward that day by Mr . Connor ; - and if he persisted in those sentiments , he must be prepared for tbe consequences with which the Association , in ? due regard for the cause of Repeal and for the people , would have to visit him— . ( cheers ) .

      Mr . Connor—By my resolution I will stand or fall . While breath is in my body I will uphold it —( confusion / . I am not the mau to deaest the people , if ten thousand cannon were placed before me— ( great uproar * . Mr . J . O'Connell again rose amid load cheering , and said he never undertook a duty wittemore reluctance in . his life—he never felt moie inward distrust of bis own powers to impress his opinions on the meeting—than he did on that occasion ; -but , in his opinion , Mr . Connor ought not to be permitted any longer to remain a member of that Association—( great applause / . He had avowed principles which that Association

      could not allow for one moment—( hear , hear )—inasmuch as they were in direct opposition to fehe law . Tue forms of tbe Association required that notice of motion be given in case a member be struck off the list ; but he ( Mr . O'Connell ) confessed that he felt inclined to ask the Association to suspend the standing order , in order to move Mr- Connor ' s expulsion at once—( cheers , and confusion ; . Mr . Coanot ' a past services alone prevented him from asking the Association to do so ; but unless he totally disclaimed those principles , he would move his expulsion on the next day of meeting . Mr . O'Neill Daunt said he would secon * it .

      Mr . Connor ( much excited , and with uplifted arm ) : I will go to death in support of my resolution . Pounds , shillings , and pence have been too long coming into——( Tbe rest of the sentence was lost in the uproar which prevailed . ) Tbe Btarving people of Ireland are to be fed —( disapprobation ) . Mr . Clements spoke strongly and emphatically against Mr . Connor ' s conduct . Messrs . Callaghan , O'Hea , Stritcb , Murphy , and Hamilton , also condemned the motion as seditions . Mr . Connor—I acted on the principle of that motion myself—( groans ) . Next year , millions of men , women , and children will be starving—recollect-that . Mr . Daunt—It is by legal means we seek to relieve them—not by illegal measures , such as you propose —( cheersi . Mr . John O'Connell then moved the following resolutions : —

      •• First—That this Association has heard with horror and indignation the doctrines propounded by Mr . Connor respecting the payment of rents , county cesa , tithes , poor rate , or rent-charge , this day , in the attempt be made to put upon tbe books a notice plainly and * grossly illegal , and directly tending to create and encourage criminal outrage and violence throughout the country . " Secondly—That if anything can add to these feelings , it . is the consideration of the time Mr . Connor has chosen for making sueh remarks—a time when , in the county of Carlow , where Repeal has as yet made little progress , a violent and criminal opposition to rents has according to the public prints , already begun to manifest itself . " Thirdly—That this Association indignantly rejects , and refuses to insert on its boots , or to allow to be for a

      moment entertained , Mr . Connor ' s notice ; and that they declare that all who put forward such doctrines , and offer such advice to the people as is contained in that notice , are either madmen or traitors to tbe glorious cause of Repeal , to the noble people wbo support that canae , and Old Ireland . " Mr . O'Hea seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Thus resta the matter for the present The meeting was soon after adjourned to Wednesday next , when Mr . O'Connell will attend . The Rspeal Rent for the week was £ 1 , 462 1 7 * 83 .
