Hit Fmbkds , * i address this letter , generally to your ori gr ijecaose I am vain enough , to think that « nliave an interest in my character . It is ijw one o ' clockon Friday morning , and Imiist L brief . You will allow that I have done three feir days * work . On Monday , I attended the Crown and Anchor meeting , and JJas not in hed till two o ' clock . On Tuesday ,
I travelled to Manchester , spoke in an OVEN for nearly four hours , and was not in bed till i early four o clock . On Wednesday , I travelled to Nottingham , and spoke for two and a half l ours in a WARM BATH , and was not in ted till nearly two o ' clock . This day I have travelled to London , asd on my arrival had to furnish . * n wceunt ef the various sumsl received for the Bank and Land Fund , to the managers and directors . _ that have not been l -
Thus , you will see I idle - but I cannot refrain from saying a word . I tdl you , then , that I shall next week put you in possession of an amount of villany practiced against you and me , such as none but the most hellish mind could imagine , and you will sar that I must have a charmed life to have escaped the snares of the conspirators . I had a meeting and a triumph at Manchester such as no man ever had before ; and I really assure von that not one of the audience was more thunderstruck than I was at the revelations made by Mr Rider , my clerk , relative to the disposal of my monies in connection with the Jftrf&em Star . As Timkins says , 'YEA .,
VERILY , I WAS FLABBERGASTED ;' and you shall have it alL At Nottingham the crowd was , if possible , greater . I had to make a second attempt before I could reach the platform , and ever / avenne to the Exchange was crammed . At Manchester , our good friend Grocott was in the chair ; and at Nottingham , our little General Sweet ; and at both places , my children appeared to he more than satisfied—not one of my enemies appeared , or any one on their behalf , and WELL FOR THEM , as the RUFFIANS teaJl y deserved bo mercy
On my arrival at the Star office , I understood that it would be impossible to give the whole affairs of Manchester and Nottingham , with the correspondence consequent upon the charges made against me , this week , and all interested ^ thought that it would be injudicious to mince it , and that it would be much better to give all , which will extend from fifteen to twenty columns , in a consecutive form , next week . The whole will form a perfect narrative , and which , I trust , every reader will keep , as a curiosity . The correspondence and resolutions alone , -will extend over five or
six columns , and will well repay perusal . You irill be glad to hear that I have not left one single charge , or the shadow of a charge unanswered ; while I have not only charged my accusers of high crimes , but have convicted them upon the clearest testimony . My friends , you must not attach a simple money importance to this question ; on , I implore you to take the longer view , the damnable attempt of a portion of the press to destroy my character , in order that my influence may perish ; hut I will destroy any journal that has entered with the conspiricy
The Dispatch and the Nottingham Mercury are both quaking , and their friends are shaming their fears . ^ You must come to the conclusion that , never was there such a blood-thirsty and ferocious onslaught made on mortal man , and by a set of hired slaves and hypocrites . In next week's Star you will have your doubts ( if you had any ) cleared up , upon every single point that has been mooted by the enemy ; and something more . While the Nottingham fool gave me more rope to hang him , in his Saturday ' s rubbish , than in all his other attempts at figures .
There are one or two subjects of not less importance than the Land Plan , upon which 1 vill hare to address yon next week—I mean the Pope ' s injunction to the Irish Catholic Bishops , relative to the Irish Colleges , and into which is lugged , very cunningly , the question of non-interference with political , or " party " questions ; precisely as I foretold « hat the object of an English alliance with his Holiness was to end in . Now , my Mends , lelieve me , that this question , if not met rigorously by the friends of discussion and progress , will be the ' greatest blow that democracy has ever felt , and for this very ample reason , that with Ireland passdve ,
quiescent , and submisdvejany Ministry would be enabled to turn their whole strength to the overthrow of democracy in this country . You II istnotlosesightofapproachingdanger ^ nyour new born love for ajiberal Pope . Intmswemust resist the Pope , the Devil , or the Pretender , as English Democracy must not he sacrificed to Italian resistance to Austrian Despotism . The other subject to which I mean to draw your attention is , the reply of Lord Clarendon , the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , to a deputation of Irish Catholic Bishops , and which the Times extols to the skies , as a piece of composition
frhich its own encomiums could not make more forcible . Now , I undertake to prove that his Lordshi p ' s reply is rank nonsense , and inconsistent with itself , and that his strained reasoning is a fallacy from beginning to end ; while the address of the Deputation , is at once a compliance with his Holiness ' s orders of noninterference , and a direct contradiction , or rather a surrender of ail the previously expressed opinions of the Irish Catholic Prelates , especially Archbishop M'Hale . Now I will
make these two questions as plain to you as the am at noon-day . These are the means , my friends , by which I hope finally to destroy the lastard influence of the press , whose words we have been in the habit of receiving as 'Holy Writ' Don't , pray don ' t , allow your minds to be attracted from those great and important questions . You will see the best answer to the press-gang , in the amount of Land Money for this weefc . I would willingly pay them for such results . NEST WEEK'S 'STAR MIST EE READ AND KEPT . I wiH throw

Km \ W NSTRATI 0 N IN OELEBRA-™| OF THE PEOPLE'S TRIUMPHS AT THE RECENT GMERAL ELECTION . _ A public dinner took place at the far-famed Lrown and Anchor Tavern , Strand , on Monday eremne , October 25 . in celebration of the recent Kadical triumphs . About two hundred persons sat down to an excellent dinner , served nj » in that Blyle bo characteristic of the host of the Crowa aad Anchor . Ample justice having been done totheviandB , the taoleg werecleared , and many of them removed , when a tremendous noise , like the roaring , of distant thunder was heard , occasioned by the terrific rush of the after dinner visitors . The great hall was very soon inconveniently crowded , not a single spot being vacant on which a hnmau being could rest Ms foot . On the motion of Mr SiALLwqeD , Mr William Dixon was unanimously , and amidst loud cheers , called to the chair . ftRANn in iinn
~ The secretary , Mr Jambs Gbassbt , read letters apologising for non-attendance , from the following members of parliament , and others : —Lord Robert Grosvenor , R . B . Osborne , G . Thempson , Colonel Thompson , Dr Bowrinp . B . Hall , J . Williams , J . Hmne , J . Stnree , C . Seeley . W . S . Crawford , W . Scholefield . G . F . Munta . T . Wakley . W . J . Fox , R . Gardener , O'Gorman Mahon . C . Pearson , T . S . Dancombe , J . Walter , J . H . Parry . E . Miall , J . M . Cobbett , H . Vincent , J ; Fielden , Charles Coohrane , and Wm . Williams . TheCHAiaicMi then said-The high honour of presiding over that immense . aMemWy had been conferred npoa him , and he fcd nojdouhi . the labpuraud responsibility of fteoffioe would * bB « nderedSieht , 'by the good order that would be maintained . ( Cheers . )
iney Had met to celebrate a great event , for it was a great event , to find that at the late general election , seventeen persona returned pledged to the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . ( Greatapplause . ) But those seventeen gentlemen , be they ever so well inclined , could do nothing without the aid of the people ; yet , from the correspondence tkat had been read , he feared that many of those gentlemen would forget the pledges they had given . Fortunately , however , they had one on that pl atform , Fergus O'Connor —( tremendongeheering)—who would by hii actions remind them of their pledges , and spur them on . ( Loud oheers . ) He thanked them for the honour they had conferred on him , a working coal miner , by placing him in so distinguished a situation . He had much pleasure in giving the first sentiment as fallows : —
The People—the only power whose will can be morally binding as law . Hay their sovereignty b « ipeedtty t » lablished , and unirenally recognised , as the legitimate basis of equitable government . ' DrEppa rose to respond , loudly applauded , and congratulated them on having some of the fair b « present , and hoped to see the principle of the sentiment carried out to a greater extent , as it must be Prguctne of great good . Although tkeir forefathers frequently toasted the sentiment , thev had yet foiled to possess the reality , and the mode to ob-W'f" was by petting the national will represented in the Heuse of Commons . The last election had done more than had bcea accomplished since the Btem days of Cromwell . The candidates and their
mends had aone much to loose the bonds of prejuin * * * * £ . taught the P ° P le to care noth " nB f <« »> n » gs , lories , or any other faction . What he understood by liberty was , that each person should be socially , politically , and religiously frce- ( loud CMers)—and every man should have-the opportunity afforded him of stating his opinions fully and freely —( cheers)—and the advocates of those and his prin . ciples , should be free from the taint of immorality . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not think the sovereignty of the people * was to be obtained by fighting . The French had fought three days , bat were cheated < ut of their right . ( Hear , hear ) He could , as a man ofFinsbury , boast of having two representatives—Duncombe and Wakley . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought
those who talked least , did most . He did net like noisy people . It was not bullying that would carry great measures , and if he had six good dishes put before him , he did not care what they were called ^ whether they were called Complete Suffrage or Charter . ( Marmars , and loud shouts of Name and all . ' ) He did not care for a name . He loved the Charter ; but because he was strong , was that any reason be shonld kick the man' who was weak ? Working men had been taught to think ill of the middle classes . Why , that was the class through whom the working classes must get their rights . ( Loud cries of No , no , ' and confusion . ) He
contended they must apply to those who had the votesthe middle elasses . ( Hisses . ) Why , whwewasthe man that wonld not become a middle class man if he could * He admitted that if the working men would give up their pots and their pipes , and contribute thosB rams they now wasted to political purposes , they could do much by those means towards attaining their freedom . ( Cheers . ) He said , let the working and middle classes unite , not as Whigs and Tories , but as the people for one common object . He should like to live to see the day when the beau tifal sentiment he had responded to , would be universally recognised , and firmly established . ( Loud cheers .
Mr W . P . Roberts rose , enthusiastica'ly cheered , to respond to the second sentiment : — The People ' * Charter!—and may an enlightened oommnnity , appreciating the wisdom and value ef it , devote untiringly their energies to its support , until it isnnmbered among the statutes of this great realm : Mr Roberts said he believed that the sentiment just given was knora to the whole civilised community , Apologies in abundance had been read from Members of Parliament , and other gentlemen , p ' eading other engagements . He , too , had engagements—ay , engagements that would occupy his time morning , noon , and night ; but he was here . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought those gentlemen were not sincere in the expression of their regret . Whea he became a
Member of Parliament , as he meant to be—( tremendous cheerin ? , )—he should also feel it his duty to mix amtngst the people . ( Loud cheers . ) He repeated , those gentlemen did nst act honestly in so slighting those by whom they had climbed to power . ( Hear , hear . ) He would tell Dr Epps , that the People ' s Charter was the symbol of popular liberty . ( Loud cheers . ) He would tell him that no name would do so well as that by which it was baptised . He would remind his audience of the Birmingham gathering , where some said . ' We like your principles , but don't like your name ; ' but the late Rev . Dr Wade made then this famous memorable declaration— ' 'Tis not the name but yonr principles they dislike . ' ( Loud cheers . ) And he , like that rev . gentlemen , called
on them to distrust any man who said he did not like their name ! He was happy to see the press represented here ; the press had done him some servicel « spd he would not speak against it . True iti re * presentettves did not eeemto be particularly busyjust now , ( laughter . )—bo' if they did not find these sentments reported tomorrow they would this time ten years .. ( Loud laughter , and great applause . ) At any rate the gentlemen of the press could not look at this magnificent meeting and say there were only twa hundred and fifty present . ( Greatapplause . ) But a cry was said to be wanting ; the Law of Primogeniture , and the Game Lnws , had been named : but the only thing the people had to do was , to tell them that the only cry they would raise was the People ' s Charter . ( Great applause . )
Mr P . M'Grath , who was much applauded , said , many gentlemen who had been returned with democratic characters , had been invred , but where were they ? He believed they had absented themselves because this meeting was too Democratic for them . ( Hear , hear , ) Had this meetins been called for any paltry purpose , they would have been present , and the press would also have had more of its representatives present , bathe supposed the reporters would say there were only from two hundred to two hundred and fifty persons present . ( Hear , hear . ) The WuVy r > i $ patch ( groaning ) had most mendaciously asserted that a large meeting , at which he attended in the town of Chelmsford , and at which there could not have been less than from eieht hundred to one
thousand persons present , that there were not more than forty . ( Awful groaning , and cries of Burn it . ' ) The writer in that paper of those dastardly attacks on our glorious Land Company was now present . ( Great sensation , and criea of Point him out , '' Turn him oat . ' ) This dastardly character had recently been taken before the magistrates , for being drunk and disorderly , asd had been fined three pounds . ( Hear , hear . ) As he was here , and heard what he ( Mr M'Grath ) said , let him deny itif he could . Thesentiraent he had to respond to was— ' The People ' s Charter . ' W . J . Fox , would never have been returned for Oldb . im , or George Thompson , for
the Tower Hamlets , had it not been for their prefesMon of Chartism . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr M'Grath here entered into a detail of the principles of Usiversal Suffragt and Annual Parliaments . Had the people been in possession of the latter , did the meeting think they would have had the ' apologies ' they had to night ? Tltey had plenty of nostrums and nostrum-mongers , feut they might depend on it that nothing ever would bene 6 tt !* e people politically , but the People ' s Cbarter . ( Loud cheers . ) He a , > pealed to them togo forward fortheprinoiple . witkthe name , for he gloried in it . ( Loud cheers . ) It must be by their own exertions they must obtain the Charter . Ifc was neither Thompson nor O'Connor that could get it for them . ( Hear , hear ) Dr Epps bad ftran - Itwith them , because they did not like

Dr Epps had told them to look to the midd e ol « ses for redress , became they had the vote , and , therefore the power to hel p them . Be ( Mr J . ) Vould wk if they had only just obtained the vote ? No ^' they had had the ' vote , when a ! l the bad laws wore paraed which had plunged the people into misery . ( Hear , hear . ) . Why did they oppress us then , if we are to trust them ! now . The fact . is , the middle classes see the people gaining power , and they want hel
us to p them to upset the aristocracy , when , after having served ^ their turn , they will ' disoard us as they have ofteri done before . ( Cheers . ) Now , I , forone , hate to hear class distinctions spoken of . We . want to do away with classes , and I muatrepeat , thetnen who tell you ; to trust in this ¦ elans .

chairman then gave the fourth sentiment , as follows : — . .-,.- ¦ The Democratic Gentlemen who have bean retaraed . ' May their success accelerate the triumph of Liberty pad Justice throughout the world : . MrFearGTJS O'Connor rose amidst the most hearty cheering , waving of hats , handkerchiefs , &c , which was kept up for a long time . -These 'demonstratidns of popular applause having at length subsided , Mr O'Connor said he felt he was placed in an awkward position . He was out of place , and his sentiment was out of character . The toast put into his hand ' s should have been ? Our absent friends ' —( laughter)—however , this meeting must teach
the conciliatory amongst the working classes a lesson . It was another proof of the kindness of the Chartists , and the unfaithfulness of the respectables . ( Cheers . ) He regretted that Dr Epps had left the meeting . Had he remained he would have asked him whose votes were those that saddled the country with an enormous debt hut the middle classes ? Who had deprived the working man of his rights but the middle classes ? The Doctor , too , had said something about interrupting public meetingswho did interrupt , them but the middle classes ? ( Loud cheers . ) He did not court the press . He cared not for it . Why should a man of conscious rectitude , honour , and integrity care for it ? He
had challenged his enemies to meet him , but they declined meeting him in public . However , with the aid of the people he would put down the asperity , rancour , and hatred of a venal , time-serving press . ( Great cheering . ) He pointed the finger of scorn at its representatives , and said to them , 'Let my words pass you by until such time as the pe > ple shall have stamped such a value as shall muke them irresistible . ' ( Loud cheers . ) He asked , where were those who had votes and power in Julywere they not now bankrupts in both fame and fortune ? ( Hear , hear . ) He , wished the government to give the people political power , and then throw them on their own resources . ( Hearhear . ) In
, allusion to the monetary pressure , Mr O'Connor said money could only be produced by labour , and rendered valuable by reproductive labour . He passed through the lanes and alleys of their towns , and was 'distressed at witnessing so many pallid faces ; hut he went to the-country and witnessed rosy cheeks and stalwart arras , and he was delighted . ( Great applause . ) He had great cause of complaint against Mr M'Grath . What , would he destroy tht D ' upatch ? destroy that that gave him so much amusement ? ( Loud laughter . ) If they foun d poor Mr Boyer drunk in the streets again , let them send to him . He would pay the three pounds with pleasure , as he could not think of having his
only source of amusement destroyed . ( Laughter . ) Mr O'Connor here paid a tribute of respect to the memory of thelate William Cobbett , who had faithfully predicted the present state of affairs . If France had looked to practical details of liberty , if she had had her Charter , she would not now . have to regret her glorious three days . ( Great cheering . ) What had our Charter done ? Why what the Queen herself could not do—made Su John Cam Hobhouse a peer , when disqualified for the . Commons . It would appear that at this point the qualification commenced for the Upper Hoihe . ( Hear ,, hear . ) When no longer fit for the people , quite fit for the peerage .- ( Cheers . ) A few weeks ago he was sailing up the Rhine , and had a gentle man , a native of Hungary , for a travelling
companion , and his companion gave him the difference between Austrian despotism and English freedom . In England , said he , if you do catch a hare , you are taken up and sent to prison . In Austria , if we catch a hare , we cook it and have it for our dinner . ( Laughter and cheers . ) In England you pay tne press to tell lies—here we have no press to tell lies . He had seen that where the people possessed land , they were more comfortable under a despotism , than Englishmen were under what was called constitutional freedom . The Economist , a respectable newspaper in its way , had said it was ridiculous of Mr O'Connor to introduce the Small Farm System in England , when it had destroyed his own country . Why , there was no such a thing as the Small Farm System in Ireland , nor had not been since the
destruction of tkeforty shilling freeholders . The Irish had a great love of their little holdings . One of them , on being asked why he would give £ 20 for land he previously sold for ten—if it was because Ws forefathers held it—rer / liecl not only my / ourfathers , but my five and six fathers before me had it . ( Laughter and applause . ) But the Economist and other papers knew no more about the subject of the Land , than an Irish pig knew of geometry . ( Laughter . ) He had nine papers on his back now . Oh ! how it weighed him down . ( Laughter . ) But , it was not enough ; let them tri ple the number , and he would he more than a match for them . ( Loud cheers ) The press had made a set at him ; they
wished to put him down before he went to Parliament , but they would fail ; backed by the people , he should triumph over all their base machinations . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Capital could not represent labour ; 'As well might the lamb with the tiger lay . down , or the dove with the kite unite , ' There was not one man whose absence he regretted but their Parliamentary champion , Thomas Slingsby Duncombe . ( Great applause . ) He should he at all times delighted to follow him , and sure he was , he would neither mislead nor deceive us . ( Loud cheers . ) If the middleclasses wished to join the people , they must not expect to lead , they must go in . to the shafts together ;—( cheers)—but the moment
they got to Whig Cross , they flashed the dark lantern in your face , and said'Good-night , Mr Chartist , ' leaving you to grope your way along as well as you could . He would start for Manchester to-morrow , and on Wednesday he would be at Nottingham , where a great triumph awaited him . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He had been set at by John Bright , and that little bit of knobstick spirituality , little Miall ; but if he met him , he would puff him away with a single breath of contempt . He liked to see the writings and contortions of the press . It pleased him , it gave him renewed vigour—and furnished him with some amusement . ( Chears and laughter . )
He had honoured himself by coming there ; he was gratified to know , that not only was he the representative of Nottingham , but also of- the workingmen of the united kingdom . ( Loud cheers . ) He had recently purchased , for his children , a magnificent estate , of six hundred and eleven acm—( great app lause)—in the county of Oxford ; on'it was a magnificent mansion . He did not intend to pull the mansion down , but on the contrary , put n few acres , of land with it , and put it up for auction , and buy it in for himself ; and at his death , he would will it as a heir-loom for tlie patriot who should gain the affection of the people as his suc-

cessor . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr O'Connor resumed his seat amidst thunders of applause . ' The last Eentiment given by the Chmbmik was a ! follows : — . Our Democratic Brethren throughout the world ! Ma ; tJieir preient struggle for Liberty and Equality bo frowned with success . Mr Julias- IIabnby , who wis loudiy cheered on coming forward to respond to the sentfment , commenced his speech with pomo remarks on Lord Pa ! - merston and the late election at TberUnvand added that , if once the Charter was ' the law of the land , England would not be misrepresented by men of the Palmerston stamp . In allusion to the recent Freetrade Consress at Brussels , the speaker said , * I tell Dr Bo wring that he never had the suffrages of the English , working men , and that Mr Weerth did represent the ihtereats and express the sentiments of the
English , working classes . ( Applause . ) 'All men are brethren' iBbecdraing something more than a string of words , when a German , at a conference of delegates trom several nations , assembled in Belgium S& * of the much wronged people ot England , . ( Hear , hear ) . This is as it should be . in all countries , monarchs . aristooraoies , priesthoods , "fe toll 9 te a" arrayed against the people ; To people of every country , therefore , have a common cause , and should , a 9 far as possible , aid each other in the strugg ^ for the ; recovery of their common rights . The Reform movement in France mu-t lead to change , which change , I tmt . YriUbe tor the benefit of the masses ; , but I ask why do not the French insist upon some definite scheme of reform ? . WVhare " had 'Retornr—a reform whioh we were assured was to give ue fell free , and fair representation , ' butj alas , we found . Whig promises
' Like'Dead-Sea fruits . that tempt the eye , And turn to ashes on the lips ;' and so will the French find the windy promises of their Liberals , if they trust merely in the parrot-cry of ' Reform . ' There can be no real reform short of vesting the national sovereignty in the hands of the entire peopfe . The principle of the constitution of ' 93 rau ? t be a realised fact . In Germany , Democracy is steadily adyaneing . Forward—always forward " , ' is themotto of the German Democrats . In vain may Frederick William try to stay the waves of p rogress by his wretched substitute for a constitution . la vain may he
cry to the roaring waters— ' Peace , be still . ' The ocean of the world has , ere now , taught kings tkeir littleness—asthe Persian despot and tho Danish royal pirate learned—and the democratic torrent will not the less prove the impotence of royalty . Behold how ijloriously the spirit of fraternity is winging her way over the nations , dropping in her flight the seeds of union and love—witness the sympathy of Prussians for their proscribed brethren of Posen . Will the Prussian king dare to murder the condemned Poles ? Let him beware of the effects of Buch a tragedy . He may have learned from history
that—• Tha patriot& blood ' s the seed of freedom ' s tree I For one Pole put to death on the scaffold , a thousand Prussians will rise to take his place , and propagate Polish principles . When the nations of tho continent read of Nicholas and his sons heing welcomed to these shores , and feasted in Victoria ' s halls , letth » m not confound England ' s contemptible government with the people of England . News has been lately received from Warsaw of the deaths of several eminent patriots confined in the citadel of that capital , and the madness of others- 'rendered insane by the tortures to which they had been subjected . The Reforme recently described a new atrocity . It ap . pears by a letter from . St Peter > burgh , that until lately the exiles condemned to Siberia , were sent to
that frozen helliR ordinary carriages , but now they are transported in vehicles each containing a dozen cells , ranged in two rows , with a passage between them , in which are three soldiers with loaded guns . The Be carriages travel day and night . The journey occupies three months , and the prisoners are allowed to breath the fresh air only once , for ten minutes , in twenty-four hours . The result has been that two out of every ten have expired on the road ! Would that we bad power , and could only catch his Northern bcarship . he should try how he would like a three month ' s journey in one of his own cellular carriages . Or what , perhaps , would be still better , we mightput him into a inoyeablecage , and exhibit him as ' the most extraordinary curiouty , all the way from Russia—the last of the Autocrats . ' ( Loud cheers . )
It has been a cheering sight to witness the failure of one of the assassination of Poland—foiled by tho energy of the Italian people . Here let me remark in allusion to what has fallen from Dr Epps , that the doetor ' amuch vaunted moral force would have availed the Pope but little , if he had not had physical force at the back of it . ( Hear , hear . ) The Austrians would have laughed to scorn the Pope ' s protests , but that backing up those protests was the armed civio guard . ( Cheers . ) Mr Harney then at some lengtht repudiated and condemned the views expressed by Dr Epps , relative to tke middle classes , tne name of the Charter , &o ,, and concluded with an earnest appeal to the men of London to make that night ' s meeting the recommencement of the agiation , which should never bs abandoned , until the Charter—name and all-was made the law of the land .
Mr Staiawood then gave : — Health and happiness to William Dixon , jind long muy he live to preside over meetings cougratulatorj of the poople ' a triumph , Mr Roberts , in supporting the seBtiment , said he had khown Mr i ) ixon for many years , as a worker in the good cause . The sentiment was adopted amidst loud acclamations . Mr Dixon responded , and declared the mee tine ; dissolved .

Oot . 25 th , Mr Frost de- " hvered an address on the' Principles of Equality its beauty and practicability , and the reasons why it ' has never been attained . ' After quoting Ernest Jones Michelet , Cabet , and the Christian Fathers , to show that democrwer , Christianity , and cemmunism were
synonymous terms , each resting on the basis of aeoial equality , Mr F . contrasted tho principles enumo- i rated in tho American Declaration of Independence Hj . with the present social and political stato of America , ^ - , and then alluded to the French revolution as another xS * instance of the impossibility of establishing political v , . ^" equality , except on the basis of social equality . He quoted Soutbey on this point , and then proceeded to ^ consider the right of mankind to the soil , and com * - ^ menfedon tho various systems of agrarian reform , \ a showing that no equal division could be permanently ' V . maintained , and that equality could only . be attained : ' ) i \ by the establishment of a common , right . He de * :-.- ; * duced the right of common property from man'Hi ¦«¦ f \ ^ common wants , and maintained that his common ;> \ v \ powers and capacities required the institution of •;¦ V ^ JjM ' common labour and education for their develope- . . \ Tv ment . Mr F . then briefly expressed his view * oa ^ O ?^ machinery , maintained tho natural equality of the ^ A ^ sexes , and asserted that political justice would n « t . 6 J ^ ba complete until the suffrage was given to wome * . A In vain , ' said he , ' shall we deatrov the domination ' . » .
of class ovor class , if we continue the domination of A sex over sex . ' The address was listened to with ! great attention , and the prevailing feeling seemed to * . be a desireto hear more on this interesting subject .

the establishment of the People ' s Charter , as theW ot the realm , the opinion of this meeting is , that the most effectual means to further such object would be to unite ourselves to the National Charter Association . _ We , therefore , further resolve that the secretary of this Association write to the secretary of that body for the cards and rules as soon as passible , in order to constitute ns the Ipswich branoh of the National Charter Association .

( Prom a Correspondent . ) W THE tortOR 0 * IHE * 9 RTHKW 6 TAB . ~ _ Wednesday . : ' ~ l i ne make no apology to your readers for sending yori a brief notice of a subject m which not only the people of Manchester , but eTery working man in England has a deep interest-i-Imean the subject of Mr U Connor ' s visit to Manchester last night I write as I feel , under the influence of great excitement ; an excitement which is participated in by every Working man within thirty miZesoftiistown ? The deep tones of the roaring lion , and the loud cheers of his devoted children , are still ringing in my ears .
Sir , —It was communicated to the people by our esteemed friend ( Mr Barrow ) , to whom we still owe a debt which honour calls upon us to pay , that the people of the Examiner office had been in negotiation with a party of navvies to { assassinate our honoured father ; this intelligence , corroborated bv a respectable lad , flew like wildfire through * the district , a « d the result was streams of " fustian jackets , blistered hands , and nnshorn chins , " flowing in all directions , from within thirty miles of this town . As early as five o ' clock the Hall
of Science was crowded to suffocatioa j before six half-a-crown was given , in many instances , to those inside to drag a traveller through the window ; and a pound was offered for a seat in one of the private boxes ; while not % fifth of those who came to be present could secure standing room in the Hall . Had ' these murderous assassins eren attempted to put their threat into execution , there would not be one stone standing upon another by this tune in Manchester , as the greatest excitement in 183 d or ' 43 was tameness itself , to the feeling exhibited .
At half-past seven o'clocV Mr O'Connor arrived , accompanied by Mr " oberts , and neither pen nor tongue could ' describe his reception when he presented himself upon the platform . It was not enthusiasm—it was madness —a phrenzy that cannot be described ; and , when he arose to addreas the meeting , the storm was renewed with redoubled force . He did not stand before his tribunal as a cringing culprit supplicating for their mercy , but as the proud defender of his honour and our cause ; not a single subject , or a single point upon which he had been assailed , did he leave
unhanded or unexplained . The Land Plan , and all its machinery , from its commence menttothepresenttime , he made clearer and more simple to his audience than "it ever was before . The anking question he simplified so that all could understand it * ; and , after he had treated those subjects and | the Balance Sheet , he went in ] to the question of the Northern Star and its establishment , and its management under Ardill and Hobson he went into Cleave ' s case , and produced the books of the NoriAern . Star from its commencement to thepreseat day , exhibiting themto the
reporters , and to the practised accountants on the platform , admitting , as * the Whistler ' asserted , that they were falsified in every page , the reporters , in my hearing , declaring * that it was rank robbery—not of Mr Cleave , but of Mr O'Connor—and practised by his clerk . He discussed tne question of the shares of the Northern Star—the charge of having defrauded his unde , Arthur O'Connor , and his female relatives—the question of qualification for the county of Cork—the balance sheet of the Land monies , and his several accounts with the working classes—and when he had defended his own character , both public and private , he then turned upon his assailants , one after the otber , and with a vigour and a
force never surpassed by language , he crushed and demolished , not only their every charge , bu annihilated their every title toVbelief . Hobson , Ardill , and 'the Whistler / should have been there to hear the verdict , while the vote of censure passed upon their victim amounted to the heavy penalty of OA E THOUSAND SOVEREIGNS paid to him upon the platform . Before Mr O'Connor concluded he said he had brought money to refund to every member of the Land Company , with interest up to that night , who had been juggled or seduced by him to join it , and , like the government , he would look to his brother directors for indemnity . He read several letters about the character of his assailants amidst a
stonn of hisses , and concluded a speech of three hours and forty minutes , amidst an expression of feeling which bespoke the verdict of his audience . "When Mr O'Connor had concluded William Rider , the present clerk at the Northern Star Office , and who had brought every book connected with that paper , presented himself amid loud cheers . He asked his audience if they desired to put him upon his oath , and the response being' N o . he proceeded , in a strain of simple but forcible eloquence , to narrate the connection and
conduct of Mr Ardill and Mr Hobson , from tne commencement of the Northern Star , and proved , to the satisfaction of every man who heard him , a system of continuous fraud and treachery , which brought down the deep and heavy execrations of Ms audience . In fact , sir , it would be quite impossible for one who did not take notes to report the amount of villany divulged by Mr Rider . He read some accounts of Mr ArdiU ' s , which he declared Mr O'Connor had never before heard of , and be was about to read a letter from one of Mr Hobson ' s apprentices , which , however , Mr O'Connor took out of his hand , and would not allow him to read it .
I should have" mentioned that Mr O'Connor read a letter froma Mr Townley , of London , charging the "Whistler" with embezzlement , as well as a quantity of correspondence , which . I presume , will appear in the NorthernStar . I should bave mentionedlikewise , that , while the hall was crowded inside , Dr M'Douall and Mr West were addressing from ten to fifteen thousand people outside ; while the cheers of those -within were echoed by those without with a right hearty good will . The proceedings were concluded by a spirited resolution of confidence in Mr O'Connor , which was carried by acclamation without a single dissentient ;
and another resolution , pledging the people of Lancashire who were fairly represented at the meeting , to supply the funds necessary to defend Mr O'Connor against his assailants , and would he assassins . The proceedings did not terminate till nearl y twelve o ' clock ; after which , Mr O'Connor remained upon the platform for more than an hour and a half receiving the parings spared from Labour ' s board to fight Labour s battle . And thus ended such a night , and such a triumph , as was never witnessed in Manchester or in England before . A Manchester Man .
