True , Mr . yitt and the statesmen of his day were actuated by a goabJe motive in patting down Use French Revolution ; firstly , by their duty to kings generally ; and secondly , last the example set in Trance shonld be followed by the Tfog K » fr people ; and if the interests of France and

      Xagtol "were bo inseparably united in 1792 , . as to justify the expenditure of so much English blood and jguglisa money not yet made , the same reasonirg , with > mere change of circumstances , would hold good in 1 S 13 : that is , if the xage for Republicanism in France Jb 1792 justified the ^ English Minister of that day in expending the country ' s resources to suppress it , surely , s&Mis vudaxdv , and , by a parity of reasoning , we hare nrw a justifiable demand upon the French Exchequer , lor the purposs of suppressing the same spirit in England , which , if not silenced would Bet a bad example to France and to the world . "

      "We would modestly ask if a greater coincidence -or opinion could possibly exist than does between that expressed by us on the 7 th of September , and Jhat expressed by La Preste at the dose of the month . Did we not prophesy the demand npon Prance to aid England in carrying out her policy ? and did we not say that Louis Philippe would , bleed at every pore rather than Bee a Repnblic established in Spam , or the Union between Great Britain and Ireland repealed ? Bat we said more 3 n iheame article . "We said this : " tcho triJJ venture to assert thai the invasion of Ireland iy an army xtfFrenchmen , may not be ai the present moment mailer of diplomati c consideration * That the question of a Hepeal of the Union is to be ushered forth as one of paramount importance to French diploma * iists , we gather the following article which appeared in the JournalHes Debuts , within the last week ~ . —

      " Every one must haTe remarked , that since thB ^ aeen of Bngland , in proroguing the ParHamet , expressed in fka most explisit terms her indignation against the attempts made to produce a dismemberment of the United Kingdom , there haTe been less meetings is Ireland , many less monster speeches from O'Connell , and many lest hurrahs for Repeal . The Queen ' s speech has deprived him of bis last chance of any longer abusing the simplicity of his auditory . Baring several months he had daily repeated to his credslous countrymen that the Queen was with them , that she wished to grant Hepeal , but that she was the prisoner of a Saxon Government and Parliament ; that they would not suffer the Toicc of her faithful Irish

      subjects to reach her ; that it was fvr the Queen herself they were fighting ; that their cause wis her own ; that it was to deliver her from slavery * that it was to restore to her the free exercise of her prerogative thst they leagued against the Saxon . But the Queen iset the Parliament expressly to denounce and energetically to Dl * me the agitation far BepeaL What does Mr . © "Council do ? He says * It is not the Queen who spoke , it was her Ministers , who spoke by her mouth ; the Queen is not free . Tain subtleties i The people will no longer believe it . Here commences the embarrassment of the agitator ; he is in a dilemma -where he canntt remain without danger , or leave without committing an act of madness . He sees himself at the head of an

      army whose number astounds him , and whose force \ hTtqi . Vm « to turn agi » T »« t Tiiitmatf . Formerly he called meetings te pass reviews , and , as he said , to count beads ; at present he confesses that he only holds them to suffer the boiling eourage of the Irish people to evaporate , who are asking him every day when he will lead them against tha Saxons . Thus Mr . O'Connell , in place of agitating , seeks but to calm ; he only wishes to find an issue to give a passage to the waves he has confined , and by which he fears to be carried off . No one better than Tiinwif comprehends this critical position : he knows better than any other that the first step made towards violence would be his destruction , and at the jphtiw time a sanguinary repression . He knows

      well that the Repeal of tbs Union is an insane dreambe knows that "KngfaTtfl , which is the . stronger , will not grant it , because it would make her descend to the rank ot oonntrfes of the third order—he knows that sot only it would be the ruin of England , bat that it would also be the ruin : of Ireland , because the Irish people , in their present condition , are incapable of living and walking alone ; but it is because he Jmows all tbis , and knew it beforehand , that a heavy responsibility weighs upon his head . Ah J we comprehended and admired Mr . O'Connell when he agitated bis countrymen for the cause of emancipation , and when be orgwizsd orer the whole surface of Ireland that vast association which opened to the Catholics And

      Dissenters the entrance to the na tional representation . But emancipation was something practicable ; the half ol England wished it with Ireland ; it could be realized legally and pacifically , and the proof is , that it was se . SutBspeal ! the thing is impossible . And nevertheless Hr . O'Connell preaches it as the only and last remedy to all the evils of Ireland—bs a panacea which ought to cure all the physical and moral wounds of that unfortunate country . ' 'Ton have so bread , I will give you Bepeal ! no clothing , the Repeal ! no shelter , the Bepeali Remain quite some time longer , and I promise yon ifo *» have it . ' He promises , and he knows he cancot give it . But the people , tired of waiting , and waiting in vain , will not remain quiet . They have been taught to regard this dream as a reality ; they haTe

      been told that Repeal would make them a nation ; that With Repeal their fields would become fruitful , and their towns prosperous ; their Chief and their priests have told them so , and they believed them : the fools who could play with the passions of the people with impunity , and who are now afraid that these deceived and irritated masses should turn on them , and ssy , 'On what aay , at what hour , shall -we be free ? When sball we be a nation ? What are yon waiting for th&t you do not lead us against the Saxon ? ' O'Gonnell neither knows what to answer , or what to do . He is like the magician who created a monster and gave it life , but here the creature revolts against its creator , and says—* Sufficiently long haTe I been your slave ; in your turn be mine , and Tnnxch . *

      " This is the present situation of Ireland ; it is sad , and can umpire but sombre anticipations . "There are , we know , evils to be remedied , but the Irish themselves appear to oppose an obstacle to all reasonable reform . Mr . OConnell has ventured hu stake upon a dangerous card ; he has placed Ireland between Repeal and revolution . Repeal be cannot hare ; and as to reTolution , if it were attempted , which God forbid , the attempt would infallibly conclude in an unfortunate and impotent revolt . *' To those who are unaccustomed to the mode and manner in which ministerial journals prepare the wayibr ministerial action the above article would present no cause for alarm ; but to us who are in the habit of tracing all the acts of governments from

      tbiB "very Bource , we recognise in this anti-Irish tirade , the note of preparation intended to precede ihe deyelopement of thosa plans agreed upon at the Conference of Monarehs . Apart from ihis-foreign note of preparation , we gather gloomy forebodings from the Biudied silence of our minister , and the appearance of a large fleet in the harbour of the Cove of Cork . In an undertaking which must necessar 3 y require great military skill there is no doubt that alHhe warlike preparations wil ] be entrusted to the Dnke of Wslusctos , while from his well known policy of a word and a blow , that execution shonld follow npon the very heels of design , it is not at all unlikely that even Sir Roikbt Psi himswlf may be kept in entire ignorance of the intentions of the Dnke .

      Enongh however peeps through the curtain to onvinee us that a conspiracy is on foot i that a tremendous blow will be aimed i that France and England will be the chief actors in the Tragedy ! and that Spain and Ireland will be the stageB whereon the drama will be acted . ¥ e Bhould not be at all astonished to find numerous cases of nuTiiarv and police defection in Ireland urged as a reason for an exchange of troops ; and the more especially , as we gather from the press of Prance thai that country and England are now united by a olemn League and Covenant j while onr

      contemporaries aihome would stoutly argue that the amiwile bearing of France , and the evident hostility of Ireland justified reliance npon French soldiers , ttrther than upon native troops j while mpon the principle of exchange onr legions may be transporiedj to Spain , there to fight the battle of despotism . "We have great reliance , however , npon the improTed . mind of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , and we have a firm conviction that-that mind well orgaoiixsd and judiciously directed will be " capable of resisting any nnjust interference with the march of Democratic principles . The days of shoot-

      ing and bntchery dare , not be revived in the present dissatisfied condition of the working and middling classes of this country . The bugsfcoo of Jacobinism and republicanism has lost its charm , and that which haunted tie prejudiced mind as a hideous hobgoblin , some fifty years ago , has now been transformed , by the systom which crushed it , into a more sightly thing . While matters are thus progressing in France and England , every town and city in Spain is rising up in arms against the recent usurpers , and the in * habitants throughout the country , are crying for the blood of those tyrants , under whose standard , what remained of the constitution was batohered , and are loudly calling out for a republic In Spain , that even Napoleon with his conquering army conld not

      subdue ; in Spain , desolated by civil war and revolutions following in rapid succession ; in Spain all attempts to foist class ascendancy npon the people has failed ; azid with one accord Spaniards cry out for a Republic , as the only means of gathering np the whole strength of the nation for the protection of its liberties 1 The elections are now going on ; and as far as they have proceeded they furnish ample proof that the bloody Nabtaez ; the soldier-shooting Nabvaez ; the liberal-institution-destroying Nabta-ez ; the ruffian Naktaiz , whose bloody deeds affright him from sleeping two successive nights in one house : these elections prove that that usurper is not even the representative of the electoral body , and therefore lacks all the qualities by which even tyrants justify their rule .

      There has been no country m the world so trodden npon and oppressed by a legion of unrestrained priests as Spain ; and the very fact of Espabtbeo , who curbed their licentiousness , and would have ultimately crushed their power , still standing in ifavour with a large majority of the people , proves that Spain is tired of priestcraft , and pants to throw oS the remnant of those shackles which the Inquisition imposed npon their forefathers .

      THE "BENT ' WAR . CORN EXCHANGE CONSISTENCY . H ' t nail his ears to the pump , " is a negative invitation , we presume , under the law to take care that if the job be done , it shonld be well done ; and never was there a more striking exemplification of the outward and visible signs of a thorough respect for the law than that evinced in a speech recently delivered in the Corn Exchange , by a Mr . Dapnt , npon the subject of Mr . Coskob * s recent motion for a manifesto against the payment of "rents , rates , tithes , and taxes . " After a very severe phillipic npon the general principle , Mr . Daunt proceeds : —

      " Never was there a more complete development of the principle of the bandit than that on which Mr . Connor ' s motion rested . Not pay rents ? Why , as well might a man go into a shop and take away the property of its owner without paying for it as occupy the house or farm of his landlord and refuse him his equitable remuneration . Had they sanctioned that principle they would have been no longer tha Bepeal Association but a banditti . Tbe people of Ireland were as . completely under the controul of the Association as was a good team under the management of an experi enced whip . "

      Now , that's plain reasoning , and comes within the scope of the meanest understanding . It m « ans that the Bepeal Association has set its face against any interference with the question of rents . : But let us see what the very next sentence is . Mr . Daunt proceeds : — " He would therefore advise the landlords of Ireland , if they were not destitute of common sense , to lose sot a moment in joining the Association , for their interests were deeply at stake . IT WAS THEIR DUTY AND BUSINESS TO COilE THERE ; AND HE ADyiSED THEM , IF THEY DID NOT BECOME B EPEALERS , TO LOOK TO THEIR BENTS . "

      If we can understand plain English , this far outstrips Mr . Coksoh ' s proposition . The people of Ireland , we are told , are as completely under the whip of the Bepeal Association as ever a team of horses were under the waggoner's scourge . The use of the waggoner ' s whip is to make the team perform its " busine&s" and " duty , " and , erg » , if it is the "business" and duty" of the landlords to join the Bepeal Association , it becomes part of the business and duty of the Bepeal whip to make them do so , and if not , as Mr . Daunt emphatically Bays , "LET

      THEM LOOK TO THE 1 B BENTS . " We believe that it was before Baron Gassow a man was once tried for committing a rape , and when the crime was fully proved against him , and upon being called for his defence , he proved that a field of beans belonging to him , npon the road-side , had been for some time subject to the depredations of the Tillage damsels . After having exhausted all threats of prosecution according to law , man-traps ,

      spring guns , and so forth , he exhibited large placards , declaring that he would ravish the first girl found trespassing upon his premises . He was as good as his word : he did ravi&h the prosecutrix ; hut upon proving the notice given in the placard , the Judge directed the Jury to acquit , and told the criminal that , though he had taken the very best means of saving his bacon , he had taken the very worst means of saving his beans .

      Now , precisely such is our opinion with respect to the protective influence of Mr . Daujtt ' s speech . The Association may be ravished , but the landlords will find that the saving of Mr . Daxtht ' s bacon will not tend to the saving of their rents . It would have been much better to have allowed Mr . Connor ' s motion to have died a natural death than to have given it increased vitality by further discussion .

      S » reckoned nothisg bat rubbish J But let others be surprised ? u * are not We were dismally sensible of what onr Russells are composed ; sad we are free to wn t&at upon a bet of the upshot , aloold Sir Robert Peel be induced to advance the proposition of coalition , we would haTe staked ourselves to infinity en-the manner in which ft would be received . The Whig * all of a sudden discern that then " is an undoubted general revival of trad * and commerce ; " that *• passing from our econemical to our social and political condition , that there is a Tery considerable improvement in tiie / eding of the bulk of the working classes ; " that " Chartism has fallen from fever heat to the freezing point , " and that while our state is prosperous to this extent is the time to—what may the country think ? Why institute

      such great measures tis Education and general Drainage ! " The whole object , however , in alluding to such indications on the part of the Whigs as these , can be simply tor the purpose of placing the more credulous part of the community upon their guard . The more sagacious will see through tae deception at a glance ; and while execrating the political pandering , feel nothing but a renewal of that nausea which the Whigs have so invariably and powerfully excited . Of the consequence of a coalition of the nature adverted to , we imagine tkere would be but one thought through-• ut the country . In all ages , and under all disposition of circumstances , it has proved so , that when men combine to foreg * their principles at the Bhrine of some political ^ object , treason ia the only Bpirit that presides

      upon the scene , and that truth and honesty are cast down like Tain gsds to be spurned , but no longer adored . The Peel amalgamated with the Russell tenets in politics , or the . Bnssell with the Peel ; and then the issue that would ensue , could there be anything more monstrous ? To prevent " movement" would be the first grand effort ; to place barriers of iron against the principle of progress would be the first resolute design . The sliding scale might , it is posubl * , be induced to suocomb t » fixed duty , and the work of education might be re-attempted under the auspices of a church hierarchy . Bat as to government which the country could endure from such

      a combination of principles , the idea were villany run mad . We say it in a spirit or the most perfect composure of conviction , that the country could not tolerate the profanity of a Peel-Russell Administration . Under appalling circumstances it has , it is true , been tutored to a state of unexampled forbearance and docility ; but to assume that the first genuine instincts of the British millions would suffer without rebelling against a Government composed of profound despotism and unquestioned treachery , were to assume that tfee natural laws of the human mind were reversed , and that Britain , boasting or its political freedom , were suddenly sunk , enslaved under the strongest and the foulest political bondage .

      " If , therefore , the genius of Chartism sleep , let it arouse itself now , when such a prospect of national degradation darkens the horizon ; if , therefore , the liberties and the honour of the country are thus assailed , let not a moment be lost in placing at defiance the menacing array of inauspicious circumstances . 11 We are of opinion , however , that the rumour ia a fiction got up to shew the current of the wind . The nature of public sentiment being ascertained , the Whig organ will , doubtless , be as ready to repeat his veering propensity from the left sis to it , and be only too happy in the chance of an opportunity to renew the hollow advocacy of views and opinions which he can shift off with an adroitness peculiar only to Whiggery . " Bat however this may be , we on our part are prepared te stand stanch to the national cause , and to resist to the death the faintest manifestations that may indicate themselves of a Peel and Russell coalition Cabinet "—Ilerninn Advertiser .

      W « thank our contemporary for the invitation to arouse . It is true Chartism has slept ; but is now awakened , and prepared to arrest the " national degradation that darkens the horizon . "

      DUNCOMBE'S TOUR . Leaunikg that the above indefatigable and uncompromising real friend of the poor man is to have a public entry into Manchester , on the fl . h of Ootober ; into Newcastle , on the 23 rd ; Aberdeen , on the 26 th ; and Glasgow , the 30 th : we have only to express a hope that in each place his reception will be such as his services entitle him to ; and , as his health has materially suffered during the past session , we would implore of those who love him not te drag him

      about , or to keep him out to those late hours whioh we know through affectionate kindness would be their anxious desire . We believe that nothing but the desire to afford the working men of England and Scotland an opportunity of testifying their undying devotion to their own principles , and the many false lights that are placed before them , would have prevailed upon Mr . Du . ncohbe at tt is late season of the year , to undertake so long a journey . Again we say let the reception of the man of the people be every where commensurate with his services .

      THE ENBOLMENT OF THE NEW PLAN OF ORGANIZATION . This has not yet been effected . The Certifying Barrister is ill . He is confined with a sore throat . An interview was arranged with him , if well enough , for twelve o ' clock on Thursday . Of course we have not yet heard the result ; but expect to do so , in time for some of our later Editions . The people however oan be carrying out the suggestions we offered to them last week . They can be making all preparation . Get the funds together ; and the list of names ready for enrolment , the moment the books and cards are issued . No time will then be lost .

      There is one point of business to which we must call attention , crowded as we are for space just now . But in this matter the people have begun to work ; and we want to see every portion of the work that all and each have to do carried on systematically and properly . The subject to which we shall now call attention is the sending of funds . We have a General Treasurer . He is also Treasurer to the Victim Fund . To him , and to him alone , ought all monies either for the Executive Committee , or for the General Victim Fund to be sent . Now , this is a

      point ef business that every one ought to attend to . On no occasion should it be neglected . Let the payments be made to the Treasurer direct . Then all confusion is avoided . Some , at present , send their monies to this office ; others send to other parties . We wish this not to be . "We wish no man to assume an office to which , he has not been appointed ; and we wish every man who has been appointed to office , to have thrown upon him all the responsibility of his office . Let the people , therefore , fsee to this . ThB carrying out of the Plan of Organization

      will mainly depend on themselves : and if they will not observe the common business regulations , they may depend on it that their officers will not long do so . We have drawn attention to this matter at the beginning . We wish all to begin well ; and is no matter is regularity and system so much desired as in the transmission and cuBtody of funds . Get into a lax mode of dealing with them , and we shall soon find all our business laxly conducted : observe strict rule and order with the management of these , and the habit will infuse itself into all other portions of onr business .

      Every penny , then , for the General Treasurer , either for General Fuud , or for the Victim Fund , must be sent to him direct , by an order made payable only to himself . Then he will be clearly responsible for all he receives . Such responsibility cannot be thrown upon him , unless this is uniformly done . The address of the General Treasurer is : ° F . O'Connor , Esq ., care of Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , London . " Let us hope that , in this particular , the sending of funds , all will go right in future .

      Dr . P . M . M'Douall ' s Position—My Friends , — Although as Treasurer to tbe Defence Fund I should not hold myself justified in applying one farthing otherwise than as directed by the Committee appointed iu Manchester toi its application , and although you will believe that I am sufficiently just to view the sufferings of all our victims with an impartial eye , yet do I feel myself as a man , a Chartist , and a friend , called upon to make a distinct appeal on behalf of Dr . M'Douall , whose case , in my opinion , ia distinct from any other . He is in a strange country , living amongst strange people , and , for aught . we know , unacquainted with their language ;

      and consequently incapable . of following bis profession , or of supporting himself otherwise than by begging charity in a strange land , which God forbid that we should allow him to do . Even before tbe law's oppression had marked him for special vengeance , I made an appeal to you upon his behalf , stating the sacrifices that he bad made , and the prospects that he had surrendered to aid in ihe accomplishment of your rights ; therefore I at all events did not wait for tbe full measure of that mis * fortune of which he has Btnce tasted to consider him worthy of public notice . What is now his situation ? An outlaw ; and allowed to starve with his wife and family in a strange land by millions , who , l ike

      myself , haT » oftoa been charmed with his eloquence , and delighted by his enthusiasm . I candidly conttas that , were I hi Dr , M'Donall ' s position , although X haev vowed never to receive a farthing of your money y 6 t under such cirenmstaheea I aboald consider your snpport a debt doe to my exertions , and would gladly receive it ; while your negleet of me would make me doubt your love of the principles of democracy . Surely itia no part of justice , equality , or philanthropy to say taat according to the principles of democracy ail our victims should be equally treated without reference to circumstances ; ind if we desire even to be guided by that rule I think in M'Douall ' s case it has been grossly violate * . Just contrast what was done for Stephens who deserted us , and

      M'Douall who has never deserted us ; and in that case we never heard a word as to the propriety of making all equal , or of the glorious principles of democracy . No . no , not a word . I love justice and I love to see it equally administered to all ; and it is not justice that one person should have been saddled with nearly the whole espence of supporting Dr . M'Douall for -the last few months , and especially when that person is a working man . Now there 1 b no task that 1 more dislike than that of reminding you of your duty : however it is necessary to be done ; and therefore by the love that you profess for the principles of Ohartism , and by the affection that you ought to bear to Dr . M'Douall , I would implore of you to transmit each your mite for his support addressed to

      •• Mr , John CJeave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleetstreet , Lendori , " who is treasurer , and will see to its immediate and proper application . I may add here upon the general toplo a request that tbe Manchester Victim Committee will transmit to me , from time to time , an account of the funds they require for the support of our victims ; and which shall be sent to them by return of post . I have hot as yet heard from tbem . Fearous O'Connor . Scandalous Treatment ov a Youth—Mr . Henry Dowell Grimtb . 8 , of No . 4 , Pbilpott Terrace , Edgeware Road , London , has sent us an account of the inhuman treatment ot a lad by a person calling himself a " gentleman " , of which we subjoin the following particulars : — " On Sunday evening , AucuBt 20 th ,

      as a poor , fatherless , and labouring youth , named George North , residing at No . 3 , Lower Uxbridgestreet , Kensington Gravel Pits , was passing through « Wise's Fields' , in company with hia two brothers and an acquaintance , the boy heard a train coming up the Great Western line , and ran across the fields to look at it . Wise , tbe proprietor and occupier of tbe field , was looking over tbe parapet of a bridge ( a portion of the railway ) close to the field where the boys were . He called to tbem to come out of the grass , which two of them did ; the others did not , bat made their way to a gap they wished to get through . Wise again called out that they had no business there . Upon hearing this , the youth whom he so brutally treated replied , that ' other persons

      went there , and he should . " Incensed at this reply , Wise rushed down the "slope" front the bridge , and struck at the boy with his walking-etiok . To avoid tbe blow , the youth made an attempt to take a hasty leap over & ditch , -when Mb foot slipped , and a stake , which was fastened in the ground , passed up tbe left leg of his trousers , and entering bis flash just above toe Inner bone of the left ancle , forced its way through the calf of his leg , coming out a little below the Outer bone of his knee . The poor youth , feeling tbe pain consequent upon so dreadful an Incision , cried out to Wise , who was now beating him most unmercifully , that he had " broke his leg" but it was not until he had broken his stick about the youth ' s back that : he ceased his

      cruelty . Freed from one specieB of torture tbe youth tried to extricate himself from the other ; to do this be was compelled to draw his leg from the stake ; Wise remarking " It served him right , and would make him remember tbe next time . ' * Wise now affected the humanity of sending for a wheelbarrow to convey the sufferer to a surgeon , which having been procured , tbe poor lad was taken to Mr . Brown ef Kensall ' Green , who slightly - dressed tbe wound ; after which he was conveyed in a cart by Mr . Lauder , junior , stone mason , of Kensall Green , to St . George ' s Hospital , a distance of about five miles , where he still lies in a very weak state , the wound not being healed yet , and hia leg and foot being very much swollen . " Mr . Griffiths adds that the field in

      which tbe boys were is commonly passed through by the public , going from Kansall town to Wormholt Common , and has a foet-path across it Two or three footpaths iu the neighbourhood have been closed by this Wise . Mr . Griffiths adds also , that although the youth North had lost his income of eight shillings a-week which he earned as a plasterer , not one farthing has Wise given him towards his support . Mr . G < concludes by expressing a hope that those who peruse this account , and are able to give any pecuniary aid to the sufferer , will do so : and also that some kind friend will take him into bis employxnent , or assist in providing for htm until such time as be is fit to resume his former labour . Any person who may be inclined to visit the said George North will find him in tbe Fitzwilliara Ward of the above hospital , where he can be seen any day of the Week , except Sunday or Wednesday , between the hours of three and four o ' clock .

      Ruffy Ridley writes us that he highly approves of the New Plan of Organization . He says— " I was rather averse at first to seeing any other question mixed up with the Charter ; but , since then , argument and rtfl action have quite changed my opinion . I hope all friends to human redemption will aid in tbe good work with spirit and perseverance . Let every man give his mite to strengthen the bands of tbe new Executive ; the Treasurer . has mine . " Mr . Ridley states that for some months past he has been in a bad state of health , and hence has been unable to take the active part be could have wished to have done in the Chartist Movement .

      men who ! will do their utmost to raise you to the rank of free men and citizens . Heed not the tyrants who impudently say they wonder " how you dare to come face to face with your employers and state your opinions" I Go manfully to tha poll on the first of November next , and record your votes for those men , and those only who will publicly pledge themselves to carry out your views of sound local government and general liberty . " Tbe above is the spirit of the address , press of matter prevents us giving it entire . J . B . Woodward , Chahd . —Plates are invariably sent to all the agents who have papers from us for alt the subscribers .

      Thornlet Colliery . —We have not room for tbe letter from the above : its centests conld be of no interest to the colliers elsewhere , nor the public in genetal ; and with the great demands on onr space , we of course can only publish those matters which plain common sense tells us are of Interest to our readers generally . At the same time we beg to acknowledge the compliment paid to us by the " vote of thanks to the Editor of the Northern Star , " and beg to assure cur friends that we shall ever be ready to aid in advancing their interests , and promoting their cause , to the beat of our ability ; and shall be happy , so far as we can , to publish their

      proceedings , when such are of a general and not merely heal character .

      Hebden Bridge . —We think out friends willl see that the letter of Mr . O'Connor published in this week ' s Star will serve all the purposes of their resolution . For ourselves , we think the object of their wraith is not worth the words wasted on him . Posterity will do him justice ; and unless be minds his p ' s and q's the present generation will be very likely to anticipate the judgment of posterity . If our exclusion of their resolution should put our Hebden friends into bad humour , we wsuld prescribe for them a dose of Punch—we mean our friend Punch , of London , in the number of which , for last Saturday , they will find ample "justice" done to tbe object of their censure—something that will make them , in their mirth , forget how to be ill-tempered with us .

      Dublin , Sept , 23 rd , 1843 . Dear Sir , —Tn my opinion : there is nothing will inspire the timid , but at the same time honest and well-intentioned , portion of the community with more confidence than an ample " Victim Fund . " In sending you my subscription , an Irish ; one pound note , to that fund , and regretting that I cannot afford to send a hundred pounds instead , I beg it to be distinctly understood that I have no sympathy with evil doers—uo feeling for those who wilfully , perversely , or ignorantly and obstinately knock j their heads against the wall , and thus damage the cause in which they are embarked , and involve those who had more experience than themselves iu the same troubles which their headlong and , ' thoughtless course had caused . There is no merit in violating the law ; in running tilt against it , and becoming its victim . Movements , in strict compliance with the law are the best , and most successful in the long run . :

      For instance . Sir Robert \ Peel got a law passed which compels ihe banks to pay their notes in gold ; now it is complying with the taw , and ai the same time complimentary to Sir Robert , to get gold for notes at the banks ! . ' ! \ With every wish that this fund may soon be | amply suffioient to meet all just claims , I am , very truly , yours , 1 Patrick O'Higgins . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., London . J . R ., Paisley . —Daniel OConnell did give his sanction and affix bis signature to a series of resolutions embodying the whole of tbe ' principles of tbe P « aple " s Charter , on which resolutions that document was founded . He did give to Mr . Lovett a di aught of

      b Bill which was used in tbe drawing up of tbe Charter , and which " draught" embodied tbe whole of the principles , and we believe almost the exact details , of tne Charter . Samuel Sigby , Ashton-under-Lyne . —We have forwarded bis letter to the Victim Fund Committee at Manchester . ; Mr . George White . —The ) Chartists assembling , at Peck Lane , Birmingham , have passed resolutions appealing to the Chartists ; of JBismiugham and the surrounding districts to second the generous efforts of the Chattists of London , by aiding with their contributions the support of Mr . White in comfort

      and respectability during his imprisonment . The Committee meet at the above room every Sunday evening to receive subscriptions . Sunderlamd . —If out Sundfirland friends had but as carefully read the Star , as : they have evidtntly done tbe contemptible production on which they comment , they would not have troubled themselves to pass their votes of " censure , " and " denunciation " : for they might have seen ] that we had already refused to publish similar resolutions sent front other places . Mr . O'Connor's character is too firmly established to be shaken by the nonsense of a man who has evidently taken leave of his senses ; we therefore advise our Sundeiland friends to let him alone .

      " To tub Alkali or Chemical Workers on the TYNX and Wear . "—We have received an address headed as above . We have only room for the following extracts : — j No trade requires at this time an Union amongst them more than we do . While we are sitting in apathy our masters are reducing us continually in our wagesthey are accumulating immense fortunes , ¦ while we become poorer and poorer every year . Numbers of our fellow-labourers are being thrown out of employment and no provision made for them . We are not combined amongst ourselves to protect ! our labour , but our mas . ters are united amongst themselves to protect their interests . And why not the sons of toil unite to defend their property , viz . their labour ? It we look to the

      present efforts of the pitmen , tbe quarry men , and a number of other trades , we must acknowledge we stand self-condemned for not doing our duty to ourselves , our wives , and children—but let jus no longer neglect that duty . Let a delegate meeting of those employed in the Alkali Works be immediately called at some central place , say Newcastle , South Shields , Sunderland , or some other place , that may be most convenient ; and and let us endeavour to draw up such rules and regulations as will enable us to act together—to support one another in sickness ; to protect our wages from being reduced ; to relieve each other when out of employment ; and to cultivate a feeling of brotherly love , Let some of our friends name a place , ' and cay when a delegate

      meeting shall be held , and let tbe men in every Alkali Works not neglect to do thsir duty , but send a delegate to such meeting . 1 R .

      Richard Hamkim , Ilkestok . —Hia " Lines" are well meant , but we have not room . Scotland and the New JOrganization . —We have received tbe following letter , addressed to Mr . O'Connor , from ene of tbe noblest patriots breathing , Mr . Moir , of Glasgow . We j are sure our readers will peruse it with no ordinary , interest , coming , as it does , from a man who for years past has enjoyed tbe confidence of the working classes of that city . Mr . M . expresses his approbation of tbe " New Plan , " and does so in tbe best possible way , by sending to the General Treasurer ( Mir . O'Connor ) half a sovereign as his contribution to the Executive . We implore

      of our readers in general , and those of Glasgow in particular , a serious consideration of the weighty truths contained in Mr . Af . 's letter . Let there be no moto of ihe * ' werse than ] nonsense "' complained of by Mr . Moir : that of shouting for " the Charter and no surrender" at public meetings , and then doing nothing practically to get the Charier . The man who so shouts , and does nothing more , ] is nothing better than a " traitor" to tbe democratic cause . Let every man , according to his means , imitate Mr . Moir ; and let every Glasgow Chartist be prepared with his name and his pence to join the NewjOrgonizition the moment it has received legal sanction .

      i 174 . Gallowgate , Glasgow , 23 rd Sept , 1843 . MY dear Sir , —As Treasurer for carrying out the New Plan of Organization , fl herewith enclose for you half a sovereign as my mite for the said object . In making this communication to you , I cannot help remarking that there has not been anything in the conduct of the great mass of the Chartists which has grieved and irritated me , and which has extorted from me from time to time stronger 'and more unqualified reflections than the dishonesty ( I say it advisedly ) hitherto exhibited by tbem m carrying oat the resolntioss of the body . 1

      To give you a proof of what I mean . In this great city in which I reside , we have had on many occasions , multitudinous—yea , very inuUitudinons expressions of public opinion in favour of onr principles , of which you yourself have been witnesajon more than one occasion ; and yet , strange to say , we never , had , in the whole city of Glasgow and sutntrfo , more than two thousand members in our Association '; and I believe we sever had even that numbe * for thre * months ai o % e time Now , Sir , euch things ought * ei to be j and such things must not be , if the people have any idea whatever of accomplishing their object . N » similmr numher of men to that whieb we ham hitherto had to work the tcork , and pay the money , ««•> eon aet » mplisk ike object . I make this assertion that ] that portion of the people who ha ve hitherto contented themselves with looking on and Waiting to reap tbe benefit of our exertions , ma ; be therf . by stimulated to dofteir duty .

      I believe the statement I have made respecting Glasgo w is of universal application or nearly bo ; and ia enf ' irely discreditable to the great body ot the people ; tot either the people do want ! the Charter or they do nr , * If they do want it , I ( think the experience r Uey havehad might be mimcient to satisfy thtm , that remaining neutral is not exactly the way to oht& '< it In either the shortest time , or at the least possible - < sxpenBe If they do not want it , oi if they be of option that the sacrifice proposed to be made in the effort to obtain it be too great for theobjeot Bought , in ejther case ( and I address myself particularly to tbafc portion of th »

Mark the outrage—the beastly and infamous outrage upon public morals and public decency , involved in this " promiscuous" dressing of thesexeBl Are such outrages on woman's modesty and dignity to be tolerated ? We trust not In the case of the mm whose wife is so working , we adviw

      that instant information be given , that the magistrates of that district may be tested , so that we may know whether they will countenance their " brother magistrate " , Mr .

      THE MONSTROUS COALITION . WHIG AND TORT JUNCTION . It is now eighteen months since we prophesied that the success of the Tariff would lead to a jonetion between Pjsel and Russell , or that ^ failure wonld lead to the resuscitation of Whig hope . From its enactment to tbe present moment , one adverse circumstance or another , bas served to buoy up the drooping spirits of Whiggerj . England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , have been severally hunted for a Whig cratch 1 that forlorn and scattered faoiioB

      greedily cherishing the hope of party strength out of national dissatisfaction , disquiet , or even revolution .

      Chronide to which we allude may be regarded as bearinaon this point Perhaps , indeed , . Sir Robert Peel hu never entertained the idea for a moment of coalescing with the Whigs . It may , in possibility , be that he wonld disdain to do so . But let tbe comntry mai * the Whigs—how tb # y will pander amd pander , to the last , sever forgetting their old propensities ; throwing over the country , when it suits them , with as much tans froid—nihei with as much gaiUde emuras noble minds would rush to the oonsnmKtttioB of
