      JJt Dsxb Fxtesds . —I now proceed with my aarrariTfc . Do'DES . —On Tuesday Mr . Dnncoinb 9 and 3 arrived at Dundee , abou-. four o ' clock . There was a very splendid Soiree in the largfst chapel that could be procured ; and "when Mr . Duncombe made his appearance he wasloudly andrapturotb-ly applauded , Mr . £ idd . the pnncipal butch-t in the town , was in the chair ; snd after the usual liberal sentiments had been proposed , ^ the last of them , " The Xorlkeni Star / 7 was spoken to by a working man , ( . whose 22 S 2 &e I foTgzz' ) ia mosi eJoqneni terms . In sptaJdug of the Kenr Plan of Organization , he said , " I asfc ; did any thing more perfect ever oome from the pen of man ! aid is not Mr . Hobson , tbeTpresent talea-ed editor of the Star , and compiler of t&a ' . plan , worthy ih& confidence-of the working classes V—t Cheers . )

      TViitn Mr . Dimcombe made his appearance , he was lonaly chefcxed ; and af : er a very iong ano eloquent review of his Parliamentary conduc , anti an avowal of ike prmcipibs ol Cn&ni ^ m , name and alU be resumed his seat amidst several rounds ol sppiau > e , and waving -of hats . I followed ; and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written bj way of apology for his non-atteudasee , nay trst . This ¦ po mpons fool declined accrpumj the iuviiation , Incuv ^ e I zroi to be there ; but 1 promi .-e you that after the licting 1 gare him , he will never write my name a ^ rain as Xousi as he lives . We had a vast number of the middle classes , and many manufacturers prereut . 1 enroled in all , in Dundee , 270 members , "Ween we returned to our ho . el a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial Room , where tbtre was a party of seven or eight gentlemen , all of whom had just returned

      from the meBiius . I did ascompany h ; m ; and mere met several very gentlemanlike icitrlbgect persons , some 01 them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , who I have since learned i-s the best and kmdesi master in Dundee . I do no ; know bis Dame . We di ~ cH . < sed the principles of the Charter ssd " fret trade , " i ; 33 Dearly three o ' c'ork in the morning : all the jonng nun staBdjn *; up for the Charier- The principles are beginning to find way ht-TP .

      0 : i Wednescay momii-g we proceeded on our way t-o Aberdeen , Mr . l ) nncombe stopping a Stonehaven , fifteen miles from Aberoetn ; wnue I went en . " When I arrived at ihv coach tmoe there was a lar ^ e concourse of persons to receive me , bu : i » o notice of any meeting for that nisjht : the council i-upposmg th 3 i J should be too much ratiiued . Howtver we pnr up a bill in Mr . Liege ' s window ; and at eurht o ' ciork we had an excellent meeting in a lanre chapel , when I spoke at great leng'b and wiih -good e £ tct . 1 enrolls 128 nipmbtrs ; and would hate aadrd sAL to Vne ranks had tht y been apprised of my intention .

      Tse following day wa ~ to be the all-important one—the day of the Dc > c m * e DiMo . tsr&ATio . N and when 1 looked out of my window , to my horror I saw that the elemests were to be against us . It was the . only wcJ day they have hi d for a long time . II rained incessantly ; and great was cur misgiving . At twelve o ' clock I started , in company with the Tet-. ran Arehy . M'Docaid , in a carriage and six , to Beet ilr . Dnnconse : for whum ii' faersou and another excellent iellow of onr body had gout otnlj to SioiicLsven . When iir . Duncombe arrived , one W ' .-alu have imagited that the rain , so far from del- rring , had invited the Chartists to come oat ; for it was ihe longest and gran ^ st procession they have ever had . All the traces wtre in fnJl regaJia .

      Wicn ilr . Daneombe me : the procession , he would have the carriage opened ; and there he stood 3 ik-- a dripping status ihe Tvhoie way . He was higLly and justly diiiijjhitd w : tL bis rcrcepiion . It W 2 ^ ou r intention to iiave prices ded to the Lynx , as usual , hut the day was bo wei , we stopped in the ' Market-place ; when our old and vained friend , M'Phersonj was called to the chair : ai . d ournoi le&s Tallied frif-ad , Le ^ se , proposed an address , wh ch he Teadso Mr . Danccmbe , and to which Mr . Duncombe Teplied at great length , and to the entire satisfaction of hi ? hearers . I wa 3 , thi n to ? peak ; , wid a ? all prevjens speakers had regretted the wetness of the day , I rej > iced at it , and for this simple reasor : had ii been Sue , the press would havp auribu : ed Lheattcnaaaf e tosgLtsteing-cario-ity ; whereas " is it was wei . livna but iron Cnartists would come cat .

I enrolled seventy-eight members ; and 5 bad n not been Monday , I would hare enrolled two hundred . This town , like many other ? , complains sadly of " trafficking pedlara . " They have gone far to nun thfcio ; and the Association did me the honour to say . that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some curious storiea at Monirose , about money-grubbing ; enough to sicken the honest lecturers . I must say , howeTer , that they spoke very highly of the Manchester Packer , siid Gammage . They say tn © Packer cares le > 3 about the money than any man they orer heard ; These things should be knvwn .

      to the gheat MEt-Ti . NG , as they called ir , my audience waa no . numerous ; but it was £ ood , and very a . iWniif e . I spoke for nearly an hour aud a half , and enrolled ioriy-two membLrs . 1 ibnii sianed for Edmburgn for the meeting in St . Cecilia Hall ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — " Ireland and her wroi . gb . '' Every Irish leader in EJiuburgh was prtsunt , and the galleries were full of the upper oroers . 1 set to it at once ; and I ctriaiuly ma . ae a smasher . 1 could scarcely proceed , so numerous were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and 1

      gave thtm two flours of unbroken declamation , that rung through the ha'l , ai-d made the Hibernians Caiice again . When 1 tacked the Charter as a n < cesaary appendage to Repeal , they boancc-d up and cheered , asd cheered again . Several irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . J have made the Association here 600 strong . 1 was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve ai night . 1 addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh ; and had a ujoe ; tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten ' clock ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a iars , ready tor a twelvemonth of i 1 .

      1 must now give you a little of the chit chit here . The tea party m honour of Mr . Duncombe was got up here by nine , deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartist * , for the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letiing it be supposed that it was a Chartist boiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit ; -o ksrd however , by the failure and expense , about nine pounds at the wrong side , that they are now quaxtdiing among themselves , and trying to be taken back . Une circumstance is worthy of espi c : al notice . Tbe Sturgues , who got up the party , tried to enlist the Irishmen ; and , amengst others , sent six cards to a Mr . Connor , a most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It

      wad communicated to him , that the whole affair waa intended as an insult to me ; when he instanJy enclosed his cards to ihp committee ; and the Irishmen who had bought ctrds * old thtm for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepeiiCe , rather than be parties to such a m 3 lirioii = ! and dastardly act . J hav * this tact trom Mr . Connor himself . Duncombe"s speech , however , has eomplotoly < ieajrojcU " Coapleielsm " in Scotland . Jso man will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of * poor Joseph . " He is now a " shepherd without a flock , " taking his wits to Crawfordburn , to have a confab wiih honest Shannan Crawford , to see fi 6 w they can make " ^ omeifainj ; out of nothing . " TbtJ t-hobld remember the old adage : —

      " Ex idhiL , nxhUJH . " " Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect staling one pleasing fact : two hundred honest Chartist ? , fi'ty miles south of Aberdeen , ssarted in a boat to be present at the Dun combe demonstration ; and when tbey had goi within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked the fifty miles . Who now says that chaB tism is dead in ? cotla >» ? In fact , my friends , most of those who have visited Scotland , have

      estimated Chartist principles by the amount they could chouse from the poor people ; and the Scotch being careful of their pence , and small blame to them , the *• pfdlars" give Chartism a bad name ; but 1 declare that there never was so much Chartism in Scotland ; but it will not pay for puffs . 1 will give you ilr . Duncombe ' s own words about it . " By Jove , if those who sav Chartism is dead would oi . lv come to Scotland , their eyes wouln be opened . Wh ' ai l are all thrse Chartist ? 1 ~ " I tell yon , an ! you will believe me , that ChaTiism is able to beat all other i > ms in Scotland .

      As 1 long ago predicted , some of the churoh-Cbartisis have tried to strangle the question of civil rights . Secret letter writing ; undermining ; an'i applying for the passing of friendly reso . uiu > ns are practices very muih in use latterly . But the Seo'c ? are a very far-seeiug people , and always affectionate ; and stand by then old frieucs , till tb > y see reason io change . 1 have learned many lessons of wisdom since my arrival here . When I memicned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Duncombe was a member of our association , 1 thought the cheering wouid never stop .

      GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION j AT AJSEXU&EEN , IN H 0 N 00 R OF "ifflBf PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNOOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From the moment -it xna known that Mr . Duncombe was to visit this city , every Chartist bet to work in order i to make his receprion in some degree conunensurate with the great services he has , in and out of Parliament , rendered ta the people . On tbe waning previous to the procsaaion Mr . O'Connor arrived with the south mail , I and was received by a givat nnmlwr&jf bis friends in that ' manner in which every old and faithful friend will J always be rtceived in the Land of Cakes . Though . ; no notice nor any knowledge o / Mr . O Connor's intention to lecture was known , yet tvro hours after his arrival he found himself addressings large audience of j tha citizans of the north . The meeting was enthusiastic and listened with delight upwards of two hours to their faithful champien and attached friend . At tbe close I of the lecture a great number purchased cards of tbe .

At eleven pre- j ciseiy , the procassion , on the a ^ reed-upon sonnd of the ' bugle , sUirUd ; and notwithstandiDt ; about this tinie the morning , though previously fair , suddenly changed J to a severe rain , ¦ wtnen . continued with unabated ¦ violence for thiee hours , yet , glorious to say , not one ! \ ii \ . the ¦ procession u-uVVl the ^ bad fairly accomplished ) their duty , by conveying Mr . Buucurube after the , meeting , to his hotel . j Mr . Duncombe arrived atStonehaven on Wednesday , the 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles south of Aberdeen , at which plac < j adtsputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday inoriiinsr . Accordingly , Mr . Ja-ues M'Pherson and . Mr . Kobert Macintosh , the Caairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for that pur- . pose , and arrived at the Bridge of Die , two miles from town , about oa « o ' clock . , as was appointed .

      Agreeable to previous arranjjfcnK-nt , the procession was to meet Mr Duncombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , Wllbin a mile anil a half of town , where , ou hia arrival , be anil his frieiuls Were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by ts ; x bay horses , with pustiliions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing hunting caps , with gold tassels . When the parties met , Mr . Duncombe stept into the carriage , accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Pherain and Macintosh . On the first appearance « f Mr . Duncombe in the carriage , a 1-md and pealins ? thunder of cheers ran along the deuse p ; ocessiou ot congregated tQouaands vibrating and thrilling upon the ear in awful grandeur , whilo the eye feasted upon one of the most imposing spectacles ever presented In our city .

      A * &oen aa the Marshals had completed their preliminary arrangements , under the superintendence of Mr .

A number of oth'T beautiful green and Roman bannersiand Satje were carried in the procession . Thus formed one of the most splendid processions ever exhibited jd this part of the country . By the time t&a- procession reached the town , notwithstanding th « rain -wJ . ich fell heavily , it had swelled to a vast amount . Ali the way from the Water House , as far as the eye iCv > uUi could reach down TJuion-street , presented one vast moving mass . The windows and balconies were occupied by the aristocracy of Abt-rdei-n , many of whom cheered , and a

      profusion of handkerchiefs were to be sc « n wimne frorn the snow-white hands of some of the ladies who occupied the windows and balcouies . The procession ni « 7 ed down Union-street . St . Nicolas-street , Georgustreet , St . P . iul'H-street , Gallowgate , Broad-stre « t , to the Market Cross , where the meeting was to be held . The procession w ; ia intended to proceed to tbe great natural amphitheatre al the terminus of the Caledonian race course , but the inclemency of tbe weather preveuted it . The carriage , with Mr . Duncombe and those who wore to take part , drew up west of the Cross , in the spacious Market Square ; and though several thousands bad gone to the first intended place of meeting , not knowing but the procession was to proceed also , yet tbe Gre . it Square presented one living mass of men and women , such aa had seldom , if ever , graced it-before .

      Mr . M'Phehson , comb-manufacturer , and commissioner of police ,-was called to the chair , who opened the meeting by a gentlemanly and appropriate speech , fucli as always distinguishes this friend of freedom wnon called on to npp , ir in that capacity . He introduced Mr . John Legge , who spoke at considerable length in compliment of Mr Duncombe and the cause be had so nobly espoused , and promised that his fellow cit'Zr-na would never be wanting to aid Mr . D . ia his noble wqrk . Ho concluded by moving an excellent ad dress to Mr . Duncombe , embodying the seutirou » t » «' th ; i inhabitants ia reference w Mr . D . ' fl great exertions in tne cauj-o or" freedom . The address was seconded by Mr . M'Intosb in a neat and appropriate speech , and was unanimously agreed to .

O'Connor th > 'n addressed the assembled thousands for a conai'ierable timn , in his usuul eloquent and convincing stile . He w . is rapturous / y cheered . A ^ ter three cbeers for Duncombe repeated three times , the procession accompanied Mr . D . to bis botel , and after giving him three cheers separated to their different homes , to prepare for the "soiree .

      Thus ended one of those meetings so much calculated to leave aa impression on the enemies of freedom that something is wrong ; for the working classes would not stand below the drizzling rain for four hours bud they not a cause ; and it ulso shews that the paople are net indifferent to those who stand forward to defend the principles and sustain toe rights of the working classes .
