      ilT Fbiends , —Yon will hare learned from the letter of the Executive which appeared in the Second Edition of last week , and alEO from my letter to Mr . Tidd Pratt in the present number , that that functionary ias most audaciously and unwarrantably refused to cerfify our New Plan of Organization . You will hare further learned that he had made np his mind to refuse , before the rales were presented to him . In addition to which I hare a letter now lying before me from a highly respectable gentleman , in which is the following passage : —** Itrast by this time yon haTe heard fnnher from vfohn Tidd Prati ; and I can assure you that I lave submitted rules to the correctness of which- he has certified wiihont erer looking at them , bnt merdv n&sspd -tWm

      trough the iands of his clerk ; hiti we know the reason . Aow that ' s the extract ; and I haTe the letter : and I too , mustJcnov : the reason , and the whole country shall know the reason , as I never keep secrets upon pnblic questions ^ I mnst also know ihe reason , and 50 U too muEt know , it , why John Tidd Pratt has leftreed to certify ourruUs . Upon being appointed to office I told the delegates thai I was strongly opposed to the step , and was only urged to acceptance of it in the hope that it would give confidence to our body . "While * I hare suffered more than any other man for the acts of others , ! have ihe prond consolation to know , that during eight years I have succeeded after good watching in keeping within the prescribed limits of the law .

      I quite agree with our excellent friend , Mr . CrHiggins , in the belief that we are stronger inside than outside of the law ^ -while the difficulty of obtaining ingress to the sanctuary must be now -viable to all . I would ask yon , is not this refusal of Tidd Pratt ' s a direct and insolent attempt , to keep the people without the pale of the law , and I would ask the people , as one of their officers ; unanimously elected to see their movement carried on under the strictest provisions of the law , whether they would honour and obey me and my colleagues , if we Eurrendered onr cause at the shrine of an insolent

      official ! And if the answer should be " No / ' I would then ask tbe people whether or not we are bound to honour and obey lhtm , if ibey are intimidated by ihe rash and illegal act of the Certifying Barrister J Ib . aye . bnt little respect for the man who , regardless of the interests of those whom-he is bound to ' Berre , will surretder discretion to his own passions 1 or angry feelirgs ; and I haTe as'little respect for iim who will fall short in zeal and -action , when j adverse circumstances present themselvesr I lave not been honoured with a reply frcm Mr . i Tidd Pratt , to either of my letters ; and from thia ' feet we mnst arrive at the conclusion that thenation

      is to be thrown upon its appeal against the cffisial ' s decision . I havo submitted tbe whole . plan for the ; opinion of Counsel , but have not yet received it . i However , yon Kay rest assured , that nothing ] shall be left undone upon my part to have our ] case iairiy brought before such tribunals as ' the law admits of : for beaten I am deter- j mined not to be . Indeed' my projected tonr for lie remainder of tie month may be mainly attri- j bnted io the position in which Mr . Tidd Pratt hoped ¦ to place us , added to my wish to convince the people that when I undertake to perform service for ' them , I mean to do it to the very best of my ability , j I addressed a large and enthugiaEiic meenug last \

      sagbt in tbe large Theatre of the RoiomJa . The place was full in every part , even to the door ; snd so excited vrere their feelings upon th ' e subject of Mr . Tidd Pratfs refusal , that I T £ ri ) y believe , bad we been prepared with cards , ninety-nine -oat of every hundred present would have enrolled themselves as members . ^ Fbe feeling of the meeting as to the prndeDceand propriety of mixing -the Land and the Charter question was most unanimously , unequivocally , and enthusiastically expressed . This clique . 01 xracianans bad succeeded m seating the leaven of discontent in London ; and that a few of the drones actually mustered ontside tbe door for ice purpose of creating dissension : but after the usual amount of threats and bluster , they , betook themselves to-their hiding places .

      I was always perfectly aware that the Government "wculd tolerate a mere political move for tbe Charter ; tnt I lold yon * s early as 1841 , that the moment practical Charthm was directed to the attainment of the Land , that then the owners and representatives of that commodity wob 3 q persecute me with untiring energy . If I bad not seen the absolute necessity for propounding the Land question , * nd if the ablest friends of the people had not fearlessly taken it up , our movement would have long since 4 ied a natural death . The increased vitality and spirit which ucw presents itself Irom all parts of the eonniry is a consequence of the increased hope of something practical being forced upon the public mind . Onward

      then , aid we conquer . Backward , and we fall . It is for yon lossy whether or no the legions who have never quailed before the law ' s oppression , shall now bend beneath the ifBcial's lash . Even still every step shall be legally taken ; so that tyranny shall be baulked of its prey : but every necessary step shall be legally taken . I bnt await the issuing of the cards to become an enrolled member cf tbe Associationthus , at all events , proving to yon that I would tcorn to ask others to do , wtat I was afraid to do lojself . I make no doubt that onr able and zealous friend , Mr . Bobson , will submit this week some practical pl&n for our intermediate operations , until the question of appeal shall be decided . To avoid tbe CorrespoEdiBg act , is tbe one great object to be achieved ; and indeed the only one ; snd that can be effected by delaving tbe appointment of branches

      until lie rales shall be certified . Till then we may proceed under such provisions of the old law as constituted us one naticnal l > ody under one legal head . I expect to start upon my tour with a Euffitaent rnmber of cards to enrol , myself , one half of the leguirpd nnmber for carrjiDg out our agitation . Yes , —before the first day of November , 2 expect to be able to ray that I have enrolled with my own hand 12 , 000 members of the Natiocal Charter Association . Let but another do likewise , snd all our machinery is-arranged aud-completed for an active year * B work . 1 trust , therefore , that those anxious 10 enrol their name 3 will each lay up his twopence as a test of his anserity . in tie cause . To the women also I appeal with confidence , being well convinced that their example Trill have a povreifal influence upon lbe men .

      Ib reply to several applications from the metropolitan districts , I beg tossy thai on my return from Scotland , each and all shall be visited in turn . After tbat 1 shall also run doini to Ipswich and Norwich ; aud as I mart that Mr . Dtmcomhe tvDI be induced to visit Sheffield and Birmingham , I shall add one to the numbers aBXions to do him honour . I cannot give a direct answer to my friends at Greenoek until Ilearn what arraugemenisbave bees made in Glasgow j but it is my desire to make xbv Scotch trip the means of reducing tbat heavy Chartist debt due to the truly good and estimable Mr / Boss ~

      . . . . . Yon will thu 3 learn that Mr . Tidd Pratt ' s triumph -: is declined to be of stort duration ; for that " where ; there ' s a will there ' s a way "; and without violating ; any law , I will shew him that there is a way of compelling him to obey the law , and I will shew yon tbattberesresufficient legalmeans within the people s ; reach 10 make them law-makers . . 1 1 cannot conclude this letter withont expressing tbe high pleasure and deli ° bt which the perusal of ; Ur .

      THE LAND ! THE LAND ! On Tuesday evening , Mr . O'Connor lectured npon this aH-important subject , at the Hall of Science ( late Botunda ) , Blackfriars Road , to a crowded and enthusiastic audience . Shortly after eight , o ' clock , Mr . Pabkeb was called to the chair , and he briefl y introduced Mr . O'Connor to the meeting , who on rising was greeted with tremendous applause . Mr . O'Connob commenced by addressing himself to the chair , the working men , and , on that occasion , he trusted he might also add middle-classmen . He had come that evening to instruct those who might

      be ignorant npon a most vital subject , the means how the working classes could best ensure w a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . " He had spent an attentive political life in minutely scanning every political nostrum which had been brought forward by the Minister of the day , the free traders , and every other class of political economists , with a view of ensuring that result to the working classes , asd of guaranteeing to the middle class that they should be a little better fed and clad than their neighbours ; and he had teen them all fade away , without leaving a trace of benefit behind them . After being stigmatised for twenty years asa crotchet-monger , he bad the satisfaction to see the whole of the press

      of the country , the traciarians , and the magazinewriters , all nibbling , bit by bit , at the remedy he bad propounded . Even the Prime Minister of England , the pilot who was to save the ship from the ehoalB by which Bhe was Bnrroundedj after having outstripped ,-by means of his tariff , even the Free-traders themselves , seeing that it had failed , had now become content to play second fiddle to Lord Hatherton ; and , at a public dinner , declared in support of a speech from that nobleman , that the land was bow the only remedy . It was a maxim that a man was known by his company . Surely now that he Mr . O'Connor had got into company with JSir Robert Peel , he should no longer be esteemed a demagogue and a crotchet monger . He knew not what reflections they were that had driven the Prime Minister of

      England to this declaration ; whether it was the question of Kepeal in Ireland , the critical state of affairs in Spain , the glorious revolution in Greece , or the growing demand for republican institutions over the whole world—( great cheering ) . He know not -whether these things had directed Sir Kobert ' s attention to the clod pole ' s at home ; or whether it was that all his other schemes having failed , he had discovered , that pass what tariff he would , the continential powers conld interfere to make it useless ; aid tbat tbe land at home was the only raw material with which they could not interfere . The Times , the Globe , the Sun , and tbe best of the whole lot , the Morning Advertiser , were sow tnrsisg their attention to the land ; a subject by the bye , which theylknew no more of than an Irish pig did of Geometry ; but this shewed the importance the subject was gradually

      acquiring . [ Previous to the chair being taken , a bill had been posted in the room , inquiring why Mr . O'Connor did not bring out some plan , and why he did not show , by a practical experiment that the land was the only remedy . Without that , his lectures would be of no avail . ] In allusion to this , Mr . O'Connor asked where was the man in the whole community who had gone so far as himself in bringing the subject into public notoriety ? He was of opinion that he was much more useful in instructing knd awakening the attention of the masses than in settling down on a four acre experiment . He had many years of practical experience to guide him , and knew that a public

      opinion mnst first be created in its favour ere any practical experimenir ^ would succeed . There was great danger to all plans from a too qnick concurrence in theiD j ere they were perfectlj established in the public mind . The great cause of the failure of many systems was that they were adopted by the middle class and the aristocracy before the democratic mind of the country had been brought to bear upon them . He had shown them on many occasions that they could not separate politics from the Land ; it was the Land which famished their opponents with political power ; it was the monopoly of the Land which caused them to look to foreign nations for tbeir

      by seme that they should stick to politics . They bad had enough of theoretical politics ; it was time to show tome practical good which the Charter would produce . If they had a Chartist Parliament tomorrow , and the land had never been propounded , they would go on altering and passing tariffs with as little knowledge of tbem as other Parliaments had dose ; and all would end in disappointment . The working claFseB seeing tbat no general benefit accrued to them , would pronounce it , like tbe Reform Bill , to be a delusion . In order , then , that the next great change might not be a bubble or a shadow , he had thought it his duty to instruct the

      public mind relative to that great subject . The great fault of the present Government was not what they did do , but because they knew not what to do . They must be careful to avoid that error . Hitherto the people had looked at the subject in the bulk ; they had looked into the kaleidescope of the TorieB , and seen a variety of squares , octagons , &c , highly coloured . They had looked into the "Whig kaleidescope ; and they liked their figures better ; but they seemed to forget that they had to pay the same for each view . The working men now wanted to look into a kaleidescope where they could see some benrfit arising to themselves . Let them look at their situation in London : had they not

      greater evils to complain of than even the National Debt ! The Corporation of the City of London bad a revenue of £ 400 , 000 a-year left by charitaWe persons for benevolent purposes . How was thia money expended ! Why , on mace-bearers , Lord Mayors , Punch and Judy shows , &c . &c . They wanted the Charter , that this money might be ptoperly applied to the education of the people , and the establishment of good institutions . The Corporation also derived £ 300 , 000 from church-rates , and s £ 200 000 from aduty on coals . making in all a revenue of nearly a million a year . The city did not con tain above one-fif « eenlh of the population of London ; and yet this one-fifteenth of the population of the

      metropolis paid to the Corporation » yearlv amount equ » l to one-thirtith of the cost of the National Debt . Why did they not complain of this wholesale extortion because it was taken from them in bo sly a manner : and yet in the midst of thiB extravagant expenditure they were told by Par * on Tiabiist Noel that 500 , 000 persons knew not where to get their breakfast when they rose in the morning , and were living withont God or hope in the world . Now leaviDg God or religion out of the question , as it was always advisable to do at political meetings , was it jnstice that these men should be left in this destitute state , while such immense funds were paid to gratify the

      appetites of aldermen and corporations ! Suppose that the city contained one fifteenth , or say onetenth , of this pauper population ; that would be 50 . 000 , its million of revenue would rent 1 000 000 acres of Land ; this -would give twenty acres to each of the * 0 , 000 , whereon to provide for his breakfast and supper , and would save him from living without God and without hope . It was necessary that they should bear with what might be called the effervescence of Chartism . Many men knew that a pig made bacon ; but they knew not how to feed the pig to make the bacon . They were aware that the Conference had decided upon mixing

      up the question of the Land with that of the Charter . Many who might be called the cream of Chartism , who floated and bubbled at the top of the srteam ; and who were only known as bubbles , asked why they interfered wrth the Land ? Was it not the Land which produced class legislation I He would argue the question with any one in that meeting , or on any platform jd London , and prove that the Charter meant the Land and the Land the Charter . He was prepared to admit the first principles of political economy ^ but not the deductions drawn

      from those principles . He was prepared to admit that ii one channel of trade was dosed . another should be opened ; but he was not prepared to admit that their own channel was thebest . He thought that instead of mining the farm ers and ^ operatives by insane attempts to supply the world with cheap goods , a better channel would be , to do away with the law of primogS * , and open the lands of Kent , Surrey , ! r ? d Sussex tokir competition .

      money left to indulge the . Queen in a- foreign tonr . How came this scarcity of funds ? Never was money more plentiful in the money market ; bat ityr&B no sign of national prosperity when money was locked up in Savings' Banks ; when' capitadLcduld not be remuneratively employed ; no direr calamity , conld befal a nation than to have a surplus of capital in the market , combined with a surplus of uuemployed labour . ; The Times and the Chronicle : were now boasting of the increased prosperity of trade . He believed that Sir Robert Peel

      would not find it ; that he would be unable , even with his Income' Tax , to realize tbe expenditure ; fpr no national benefit was ever experienced , unless the benefit was felt by the whole people .. He would ask the middle classes present , whether they had received any benefits from our increased trade ! He wonld put the same question to the working men ; and if these two important classes had received no benefit from increased commerce , and from the mat y inventions which science had given to the country , they might be called changes ; but they could not be called improvement . Did they suppose that Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell would let them get hold of the Land , or grant them political power ? Not they ; and if they did not , the

      people could not be benefited . Tfiey were now threatened with a coalition between Peel and RusbbII ; He had been looking for it for the last six years . He was perfectly aware tbat when the circumstances of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , required the strong arm of power to put down the democratiofeeling ; that the little abortion RusselJ the stnallestman evor seen for nothing , would riot refuse a Tory coalition ; bnt the question was , would that coalition benefit them ! It would bring the people into the two classes he had long predicted , the poor oppressed , and the rich oppressor . He warned them that if a motion was brought forward by Peel , and seconded by Russell , that thn down trodden , the degraded , the oppressed people of

      . England , would speedily put down the allied tyrants . The JUonting Advertiser asserted tbat if the genius of ChartietB slept , it should now awaken ; ii was the only hope of the country . What ! were tbe powerless , the insignificant'Chartists , the last hope for the institutions of tbe country ! By the institutions of the country , he did not mean the Church and State extravagance , the Army and Navy , or the bumbeats of the Horse Guards ; but that ever / man should receive protection in return for his allegiance . Every working man was equally entitled to a retiring pension , as if in the army or navy . How was it that the public mind was so dissatisfied ! it was owing to the diffusion of thought , to the spread of mind . The Denny Dostaee . and steam , had creatlv

      assisted in this . We could bow Bhake hands with America , and kiss France . The people could no longer be held in check by their Six Acts , or other equally monstrous and iniquitous restrictions . We were now able to communicate with other nations , better politicians than ourselves . The King of France was surrounding himself with public opinion in the shape of batteries planted with cannon . Look again at Spain ; though groaning under the tyranny of the brutal and soldier-shooting Narvaez , ruling with despotic power , without even a council to back him , yet the pure mind of Spain bad risen above this tyrant , and they were everywhere "pronouncing " in favour of Republicanism . True , they coupled it with loyalty to Isabella : they cared not who wielded

      the executive power , bo long as they bad republican institutions ; Look also at Ireland ; without even a blow being struck , or one anticipated , they were making loop-holes in their forts and garrisons , and provisioning them for three years ; ana this because the people demanded a legal Governmental change . They were told it was legal to agitate for the Charter . What made it so ! In 1839 it was illegal ; in 1843 it was legal . The law had not changed ; but the persecutions which they bad braved and undergone , like the Scotch Covenanters of old , had taught the Government that ChartiBtn most be made legal . What was Ireland looking for but the Land . Rebecca was contending for the Land ; Peel was for tbe Land ; Spain was for tbe Land . Way was not France looking for the Land 1 It was because she had got it , Mr .

      O'Connor then showed tbe difference between the holding of laud m France and England , and also explained how Paddy was a better agitator than John Bull . He also showed the injustice of the Irish Church , and prophesied that in ten years time a State Chnreh in Ireland would be liko a fairy tale , a thing wnfcli-tia < M > 6 en . If all other countries were contending [ for the Laud , was it not time for the people hereto contend lor it \ Was it not time that they should be taken out of the artificial and placed in tbe natural market I As long as the labour market waB under the control of speculative capitalists , so long would it be impossible to have a fair day ' s wages for a fair day ' s work . The working men had not got capital to purchase the raw materials of

      other lands , bnt they bad the best of &U capital , their arms and sinews , to cultivate the raw material at home . England waB Baid to be the envy and admiration of the world . In what did it consist ? The aggregate of prosperity should be combined of the prosperity of the atoms . This was not so . Had the English Parliament any power to control the tariffs of foreign lands . No ; in this she was only a secondary nation . The continental nations could at one fell swoop destroy all her commercial regulations . Surely that was not greatness , that was not a condition to excite envy and admiration . If a tenth of the money spent in supporting foreign dynasties and the balance of power abroad , bad been spent in cultivating the land of their birth , they would nor have

      had their five hundreds of thousands Jiving without God and hope in the world , He ( Mr , O'C . ) had written more than any other man in the country upon this subject , with the exception , perhaps , of Mr . Cobbett , a man with whose views he generally agreed . He had not compiled the works of others but had written from practical experiments , having had more experience of spade husbandry than even Mr . Cobbett . Neither Cobden nor others of the Leagne would meet him on that point . They had robbed the working men of £ 50 , 000 , by forcing them to take up two shillings and sixpenny , one shilling , aye , and one penny cardB , to swell the lund ; and not content with robbing them of the just reward of their labour ; with grinding the poor to

      death , and converting the gristle of the factory child into gold , they must rob him of his hardearned wealth under the pretence of voluntary contribution , the dirty rascals . These men nover talked of the burdens on oppressed industry . They boasted of our achievements in China—that the British flag floated at Pt-kin , and that they would wear clothes manufactured by British slaves . But they tell you not of the operatives starving in your poor law bastilea . There were only two classes who had no retiring salary—the working classes and the par sons . The working man was compelled to look to his own resources , and the parson was never too old or too ugly to work . They heard oceasionally of a Judge retiring from ageor an admiral on

      half-, pay , but they never heard of a retiring or half-pay Bishop . If they had one foot in the grave and the other scarce OBt , they were not too old or too imbecilb to save souls ; though the soldier was often too olJ to save their bodies , and must have a retiring pension . Mr . O'Connor then showed that a Government composed of Bright , Cobdett , and other Free Traders would bo equally as interested in keeping up the Army , Navy , and State Church as the . prebent rulers . It was for advocating these beneficial changes that he was called a leveller , a destructive , a very devil . A Croydon Jury only valued his character at twenty shillings ; and a juror stated that he would keep them Jocied up a fortnight before he would consent to a verdict

      carrying costs . Though his character was only valued at twenty shillings , he doubted whether Walter would get five shillings for his reputation in any Court of the Kingdom ; so that his character was worth seventy-five per cent , more than Walter e ; and Walter was not the worst of his party . Althongh Chartism had slept , the Morning Advertiser need not fear ; they wou / d speedily arouse themselves . It was impossible to quell the spirit of Ireland . Rebecca was a troublesome customer ; they had the souls of the Scots to quiet , and the bodies of tbe English ; and the difficulty would be enhanced when Chartism was again in full vigour . The present were critical times . He had no doubt there would be more mar tyrs in the cause . He would not wish any one to be deceived ; in times of great peril no man should take an active or prominent part in the movement , unless he was prepared to be found in the first rank of

      danger—he did not mean on the battle field ; but the law ' s danger and reprobation . They would probably suspend the Habeus Corpus , and inflict on many the law ' s vengeance ; but he was prepared to go on , regardless of danger er difficulties . There warsomething reviving in the thought that the drill serjeant had been abroad ; that the middle classes were more enligbtentsd than formerly ; tbat when the Ex cht fuer was empty they were the first pounced upon ; they might rely upon it that the Queen did not visit France for nothing . The present position , of Ireland and Spain was a thorn in the side of Peel . Other nations were as alive to the tide of tboagbtas ourselves . Peel would find it difficult to follow w the steps of that boasted statesman ) Billy fJtt . He Mr . O'Connor had made up his mind to the course to be pursued . He shonld ever reprobate the looking for foreign interference with our domestio concerns ; they might rely upon it that , as

      m other cases , the arbitrators woald run away with "if pnJSB , and leave them the boae . It was impos-* ¦ ¦/ e ¦ ? vGf * y « tnmeot could go on without paving defeninoe to the public mind ; that mind Was prepared for a great change , and tbe change would pe what the public were prepared to demand . [ Mr . O Connor then alluded to the revolution in Greece , where , without shedding a drop of blood , iu the coarse of one nijEjht , the King had been forced , by a union of the military and the people , to grant them weir constitutional rights , Spain also was pronounctng in favour of liberty ; and even O'Conneli had declared , at his late meeting ; , that he would have a Parhament in College Green , and every man present Bhould hare a vote ; all these things were

      encouragement for them to proceed onward . After referring to the agitation for Repeal , Mr . O'Connor aaxninistesfid a severe oaatigation to Tidd Piatt ^ the Revising Barrister , for his conduct relative to the enrolment of the Organization . There were now tX ? . ^ ** Dictators in ; existence ; one was Louis rhilippe on the throne of France ; the other Tidd JRratt , of Bolton-street , Picadilly . These men thought to rule the world by their sole diotum . The Chartist b « dy had drawn up a plan of Organization , as legal 01 ; more legal than a lawyer would make it " > r oe wduld be sure to leave Borne loop hole in it ; and Tidd Pratt , at Xwki before receiving the plan , bad stated that the Chartists would not get him to enrol Universal Suffrage ; and when he cot the plan ,

      he had the matchless audacity and the unblushing impudence to write on the margin , is bad English , tbat the plan was illegal . The truth , was it was too legal , so legal that he could not pick a hole in it ; and , therefore , could not make any definite objection . If the plan bad been a backward step , or likely to prove an abortion , no doubt Pratt , when he consulted the Home Secretary , Would have received orders to enrol it . Did the Dictator of Bolton-street think they were made of euca staff as to beshaken fay his diotum . He would run him through every Court in the kingdom up to the foot of the throne before they should bow to his decision . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had been appointed a responsible officer of the Organization against his

      own consent ; but he woald faithfully perform bis duties , and he would give a practical proof that he did not wish others to do what he did not practise himself . As Boon as the cards were out he should take one for himself , send a duplicate to Tidd Pratt , and see what he would then say . The people would not , he was sure , be disheartened by the refusal of a Government official ; they were not so easily to be cowed . He had written a letter to Tidd Pratt , which would be published .
