But niore than K ^ fliat . and a circumstance which is- more than ' '* " all calculated to inspire the ; English Govern-•" ' ment with alarm , is the fact ^ that her sister , Ireland , was never in a more alarming state . ' . The late Chaeles BratEK , informed the " House of Commons , that during ' O'ConneU ' s

      Sfe-thne , Ireland would > be in a state of incipient revolution , and that upon his death she would break out in open rebellion . This prediction has been verified ; and you may rely upon it , that the discontent of the Irish people , wien joined by the Irish priesthood , is calculated to cause greater alarm to the English government than the discontent and dissatisfaction of all foreign countries . And now let me implore of yon , andlet me beseech you , not again to allow joursdyes ^ flall'into an ~ trap , that open foe , or processing friend , may setto catch you , but to adhere strictly , steadfastly , and unswervingly , to the principles of the People ' s Charter .

      My children , Lord Chesteeeield said , that any could be bribed if yon come up to his p riee . I do not know whether he meant that the price should be measured by money , or by principle ; but this I do know , that it is with vonr money that yonr oppressors are enabled to bribe their supporters ; while , to your shame be it spoken , you are again allowing , your selves to be the meek and the-laughmg . stock of all your oppressors , by not { contributing means to allow those , who have ; now undertaken the management of your cause to do so effectually . : ; . ; * .. ''" "V ' S *^ . '• -. .

      , ' Li . 1839 , there , were . ihousandsof pounds , iuteibsd , -which I ha-Be before shown you „ -. - : .- ' .=-= u-i ; y b \ v . sh »; : ; ; upto ^ dihe , veryjnen " : ¦> . ; 'fi - -tl ? o . u r .-iUf ; when ' flieSkcneqSer . i -.:- > :- , » :- % i . T " : * .- r-bt ask you now to •¦ ¦ ¦• r : > : i . e / i : :.: oi : i , although you are . " -ibk' , it . k : ? I do ask you , as a : x . -- -f juiti-o . that you will not aUowjour ! Vs « uiac fo'lioger and perisbrfor want pFlEat ' , * snall amount contributed by each , and which . ; would furnish a sunicient Exchequer to carry . on your nfivenient . Of course , in a short iiinej the members «^ the several branches will elect a Chartist Executive ; and what I entreat of you to do is , to place at their disposal a sufficient amount of funds to enable them to

      appoint able , eloquent and efficient lecturers , to propound your principles throughout the length and breadth of the land ; and that you may be able to send some of those lecturers to Ireland , vhere they will be received with open arms , faithfully—but not foolishly—to propound and circulate your principles . My children , never lose sight of the fact , fjiatif the land of Ireland was open to Irish industry , it would thin your districts of the surplus population , and make the Irish producers better customers for your goods . It irould then enable the Irish people to send veritable and honest representatives , instead

      of speculating politicians to represent both you and them in Parliament ; and bear in mind , that although I have been reviled by the Irish press , and the Irish people , for sixteen years , that I have always propounded the fact , that as long as the antagonism of the English and Irish people continued , so long it would be impossible to establish any system to benefit the people of either country . But now , thank God , that antagonism is destroyed ; sophistry , moonshine , and reli gions differences no longer exist ; the Irish shepherds are leading their Irish , flocks ; and I tell you again , for the one hundreth time , that there is no class upon the face of the earth more devoted to the interest

      of their country than the Irish priesthood . They never can forget the dominion , the persecution , and torture , -which they and their flocks have been subjected to by Protestant ascendancy and English misrule . They are not like leaders in other countries ; they anticipate no profit from their struggle beyond that benefit which it is calculated to confer upon their fleeced , their famishing , their care-worn flocks . They have adhered to their profession and their faith , in

      spite of torture and of persecution , when the murderous adulterer , Harry VIII . compelled your forefathers to abandon the creed of their ancestors . They have crept from the caverns to preach their doctrine , and administer comfort to the dving pauper , when there was dauger of death for doing so . While the pampered parson is grunting in bed , they are to beibund Treudingthcir way along the almost a npassa ble mountain track in the dead of ^ g fci , to administer consolation to the tajoished dving slave .

      Well , then , my children , is it not some consolation to you and to me , to know that such pJilanthropists are beyond bribe or purchase—^ at their object is not based upon vain ambi-Eon , but upon the hope of leaving the world b & iter than they found it , by faithfully detot-^ S the ir lives to the amelioration of the condition of those who have implicit faith and confidence in them ?

      u children , you saw by last week ' s Star , " that I would receive a warm and lieart y Welcome at Castlecomcr ; and , as it is ffl wtention to be there at the forthcoming tteetiii * mav re j v Up 0 n j ^ ^ fcj ^ nejtner J > Jy nor ineaution shall induce me to utter a - atcncc calculated to injure your cause , or to give flic law the slightest hold of me .

      In conclusion , let mc imp ] ore 0 f you to feect yonr mind steadily to the value of this J *« n now capab e of being established be" ou ^ d to God that you could calculate the ^ . ous a year that th e location of the Irish People upon their own land VO uU confer upon ^ English labourer , against whom thev are SL r ? t i , l ^ a-stodod labourjou-j- ou w ?

      TO FEAEGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Snt , —Your Star of the 30 uv xit , contains some strictures upon the observations I am reported to have made at Stowmarket , & c ; and those'sfiictures being a misr & - presentation , and an eiagsfration tdf the . truth , I appeal to your professed lore of 'justice , ' topefmit . this answer t » lollowthem . - ' ' ' ; . ' ''"' ' ! . 'H . . ij-• It has been mv . pleasure and honour for two and a half years , to stand upon coan ; platforins , and , in my humble Way , advocate the ^ rifranehisement of my ord ? r , ' I lpplv back upon this period , short as it is , and solemnly'declare thatlhave neversaid . asingle word ; to my ki 5 pwledge , > de ; rogatory to your dignity as a man , and opposed toyonrcaose as a politician . ' On the ' contrary , I ' have studiously arvdided saying anything that would cause'au enmity to exist between us ; and , as I told you . some months ago , I rejoicein the Jahours of any man ( you included ) whose labours have

      benefited nw fellow workfeg-men . y " --I think your correspondent tCharles Gladwell ) ought to have-told you that our-. movement was confounded ^ with yours—that the Suffolk papers were taunting us wittt ; the late trial in London—with Sing ' s End and Red Marley . aad that the friends in Stowmarketandotherplacesiu SyJfolfe , were desirous that a distinction should be m » de . I made that distinction as carefully as 1 knew how , and Was OS guarded in my language as . 1 could be . My real obsen"a tiohs were these : —' I trad that the Tory Press in this country are ' hitterly " opposed to our institution . "Hiey exulougly pomttotfiet ^ wnich-lately . occuiTedin London , respect- ing the libel upon the promoter of another Land Society , dissimilar in every respecttothe one we are bere'tius night to : " support In Uus society every man- has ism- absolute conveyance . made to him , ; the money is lodged in the bank in the private name of no one , but in the names of five trustees of . the society for " the uses of the society . ' We deny What the Tory Press accuses us of , viz .:

      appropriating the money to onr own uses . and benefit ; and we deny the power of any jury to find us guilty of taking Is ., much less 112 , 0001 ., from the labouring population of the kingdom . Be it understood , that these remarks are not made to injure any _ institution in existence , or to attempt to found ours upon the ruins of another . ;• : No such thhjgcdl rejraulat & aH ^ Sucfeintention . I allude to it at the rapiest of some labourers here , andalso as a reply to the Standard , ¦ ' the Britannia , and the Titties , together tritlrthe-Proteo lionist Press of your country . * These , Sir , were the sentiments I expressed in language nearly identical—if not exactly—the same . Are these words offensive ! Could I use phraseology more guarded , or is it possible to form sentences more exempt from blame ? I have often stood appalled at the mocking of some pretended f tiends of the people professing to inculcate feelings of mutual confidence and respect for each other , and yet themselves use language the most destructive to friendship , and at open war with their own assumptions .

      Your conduct , sir , is not , I regret , an exception . I wish it was . Had 1 denounced you as strongly as the basest of the public Press—had 1 assailed you privately and publicly—had I not rested night or day from defaming youvou could not have dipped vour pen more deep in the ink of malignancy than you have done . Xou classicaUy and beaubfully describe me as an ' ass , 'a ' pedlar , ' a * corrupt liar , " a ' higgler , ' a ' poor devil , ' a beast , ' < fcc . ' . Is this the language of a gentleman boasting of a desire to ' elevate' the people ? Are such epithets fitto be employed by a 'leader to freedom' and the ' champion of justice ?' And is the provocation given ( even if there be one ) sufficient to warrant such an outburst of scurrility and malevolence ?

      . Many times , sir , have I , for years , and often now I do my best to stop here the tongue of slander from injuring you . I admit the right of no man to detame you , without questioning his reason ; and often has it been my pleasure to protect you from the shafts ol the disappointed and disaffected ; and on several occasions have I been solicited to oppose your scheme , but aiy answer has been— 'No ; I have euou ? b to do to attend to my own , Mr . O'Connor believes that " he is right , let him do good his way , and me my way , and time mil oppose he who is wrong . ' Before I close , let me tell you I have never said the tilings which you have put into my mouth . I have never maligned you—I have never slandered you ; in short , in what we agree has had more effect upon me m uniting us than in what we differ has in disuniting us . Can the same be said by you ?

      Again , allow me distinctly to assure you , that the following statement , so far as either I or our society is concerned , I will not imitate you and say , a ' corrupt and wilful he , hut erroneous from beginning to end ; and I demand from you a recantation of the charge , or an acknowledgment of its inaccuracy ; you say that , ' when yon was at Great Dofiford several of his ( Taylor ' s ) dupes waited upon me , to have my opinion as to whether they can have their money that hud betu paid to him , back again . ' This , I repeat , contains not one particle of truth ! We never had a member oi our society at Great Dodford—much less ' several . ' Consequently , received no money from there ! I , broadly and publicly * condemn the statement I do not say who lias departed from truth and honour , but I leave you , Mr . O'Connor , to settls this between yourself and the ' several dupes' who waited upon you . Besides tliis , what will you sav when you know that only one party has eter withdrawn .

      / row , oar society . That all continue their payments , and that perfect satisfaction reigns . I pass over your unkind and ungenerous insinuation , which is made to impeach the accounts , and remark that they are regularly audited , and that three thousand "balance-sheets were publicly distributed at Christmas . Depend upon it , Mr . O'Connor , that you are not justified in resorting to the same weapons as voar enemies are—what is dishonourable in them is not honourable in yon . You ask me , " Where are the title deeds of onr members * property V I answer , ' in Wteir own pouasion , of all who hate paid off , andin tlte Hank of Viose tclio hate mtpall off , to be delivered to them when Hie balance is paid . The holders of U 00 allotments have their parchment in their custody , and every week adds to the number . I will not follow your example here and ask , who holds ihe title deeds of tlie land Company ' s Estates V In writing this I am not influenced by a bad spirit . 1

      have endeavoured coollvto state to you my own opinion , news , and desires . I tell you fairly and plainly , I have no emniry towards you , I never had . I can allow for jour irritable temper , when you have been so assailed from all quarters ; and I can readily see that you may feel annoyed when you sire led to believe that I am arrayed against you , while ! am engaged in another society . All that I ask is this—that you do not , upon mere report , abuse and denounce any one , and do not , to supportyoiU'self , wax warm , and look upon all , who are not working in the same garden as yourself , as'jugglers , liars , & c . ' Take the word of one who basnevcr sjioken ill of you that your mode of warfare , and the rather unpolished weapons you employ , have done yourself more harm that all your enemies have done you ; or in other words—that you are your own greatest enemy . I am , sir , faithfully yours , James Taixos , jun .

      Sir , —Since I wrote the accompanying papers I have atteuded a public meeting in Halifax , at which place you have a great number of friends . I there explained what occurred , gave them , as near as I could , a correct nccnuut of what transjnred , and the position 1 was placed in bv the Tory Press of Suffolk , and stated my only reason f * r alluding to the National Laud Company at all ; and , then , that I was as cautious as man could he , to do it hi a w vy free from oSence and censure . I am glad to tell you , Uiat the approbation manifested at my explanation was ample evidence of the opinion of the meeting , and that a tmoTiimous vote of thanks was the result of my address . I mention this merely as an additional proof of my sincerity , when I again repeat my desire , not to be considered an opponent to you or your cause , believing you will also draw this inference . 1 am , Sir , faithfully yours , James Taylor , Jun ,

He hated sectarianism ; his ( Mr . Tomlinson's ) religion was one of love ; his God , nature ; his temple , the universe . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Fox , in his dealings for the working men , bad shown himself Pox by nature as well as well as name : his measure was

      subtilely drawn , and cunningly conceived . He contended the time had come when education should be secular and universal . Mr . Tomlinson then alluded to a bill introduced by Lord Grey , regarding Convicts , and said , from his residence for eighteen months in her Majesty ' s college at Wakefield , he understood something of the working of the convict system , and how work done there operated against the mechanics out of doors . ( Cries of " Time . " ) He knew they were anxious to hear the champion of liberty , whose Land Plan had immortalised his name , and he would conclude by moving tbe resolution .

      Mr . J . B . Leno , a member of the Co-operative Society of Printers , and late of the UxhrUlge Spirit of Freedom , in coming forward to second the motion , was warmly greeted . He said , the young men of England had duties to perform ; it was to keep the vantage ground gained by their predecessors , and not only to maintain that , but add thereto as much and as speedily as possible . ( Loud cheers . ) He knew the . aristocracy advised young men to leave politics alone , as it did not concern them . If politics did not concern young men , he ( Mr . Lejjo ) was at a loss to know who it did concern , seeing that the science of government was nothing less or more than the science of society . ( Cheers . ) He

      maintained that competition was injurious , oppressive , and unnatural ; and that co-operation was just , beneficial , and natural , ( Loud cheers . ) As regarded the Charter , he contended that the suffrage should be universal , as wealth could neither impart common sense or honesty . The suffrage was a right which came with our maturity . If the Legislature wished to abolish Sunday trading they should strike at the cause , and place men in the position to earn enough in six days , and then they would not be anxious to work on the seventh . ( Hear , hear . ) As regarded Pafeington ' s Larceny Bill , why poverty was , in the main , the cause of crime ; an immense

      quantity of people were out of employ ; masses of them were paupers , and it was not wonderful that they took food to prevent them from starving . For his part he had labour to exchange for food and necessaries , and was perfectly willing to effect such exchanges , but should he fail so to do , he was free to confess he would rather commit a highway robbery than undergo tbe degrading ordeal of the union bastile . ( Loud cheers . ) He held that " his person was his title-deed to existence—that the Land belonged of right to all—and he was resolved to aid and assist , by every means in his power , the obtainment of political and social rights . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . OCouxon , on rising , was received with the most rapturous applause . He said , that although it was right and business-like , upon the part of the committee , to lay some resolutions before that meeting—yet , nevertheless , they might just as well whistle jigs to a milestone , as presume that their unanimous reprobation of the Sunday Prohibition Labour Bill , or the Petty Larceny Bill , would have the slightest effect upon the House of Commons , at present constituted .

      —hut there was no use cheering , as his voice , in that house , was like a drop of water in the ocean . With respect to Mr . Fox ' s Bill for the Promotion of Secular Education—which formed part , of the resolution—he would vote for it , because he looked upon the ignorance of the people as the crime and iniquity of their rulers . ( Cheers . ) But his system of education was this—that every father and mother should be capable of conferring a sound secular education upon their own children , without being placed under the guidance and management of those who would not administer secular

      education , unless they were empowered to indoctrinate their pupils with their own religious prejudices . ( Loud cheers . ) He saw before him many old and venerable-looking men , who had toiled all their lives , and who would , if in their power , cheerf u lly educate their own children , but they were unable to do SO . They were placed in a difterent situation from the barrister , who lived upon the infraction of the law , and who was at that moment , perhaps , perusing his briefs by the flickering lamp , that he might , in youth , amass a sufficiency to live upon in

( Hear ,

( Loud cheers . ) Well , their ' approval of tliose' sentiments-was a repudiation of republicanism in a country like this , in as much as if they had the Charter to-morrow , the monarch upon the throne would be a puppet in their hands . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) owed the people little , they owed him much . He had sacrificed everything for their benefit ; and to-morrow , if he stood alone upon a platform , ' he would not cater for their enthusiasm , their cheers , and their support , by propounding doctrines that would tickle their fancy , but were repugnant to his own feelings

      and principles . ( Cheers . ) Let him now travel with them through the last twenty years of agitation , and they would be able to understand whether the poor gentlemen , who had become their adopted leaders , measured their principles by popular requirement or selfinterest . In 1831 and ' 32 , when the Whigs required , not the co-operation , but the madness of the people to carry the Reform Bill ; when Bristol and Nottingham were in flames , and when Birmingham was up in arms , their valour was lauded , but as soon as their valour had achieved power for the Whigs , they were prosecuted , and the rights which they before possessed wore taken from them . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , in September , 1835 , when he ( Mr . O'Connor ) discovered that the

      Reform Bill was a mere Whig farce , he established an association , denominated the GREAT RADICAL ASSOCIATION . The name of Chartist was given to them by the Morning Herald , and they adopted it . Well , that association was not long in existence , when some of the tradesmen of London established a WORKING MAN'S ASSOCIATION , and oae of their rules was , that none but working men should speak at their meetings ; while Mr . Leader , then member for Westminster , and Mr . Roebuck , then paid Attorney-General of the Canadians , were the ostensible leaders of that party , and the principal topic discussed at their several meetings was the condition of Canada —( hear , hear)—without any , the slightest , reference to the condition of England . Well , everv leader in that movement attempted

      to make a living of popular credulity ; they had all abandoned the cause of Chartism , and had all become his ( Mr . O'Connor's ) greatest rcvilcrs . ( Hear , hear . ) He . had brought them down to 1837 , and now he would carry them on to 1 S 39 , when the first National Conference was held . That Conference was composed of men professing themselves ready to die for the Charter . The object was to develope its principles , and to back a petition to the House of Commons for their enactment . That petition was entrusted to Thomas Attwood , member for Birmingham ; and the definition that be gave of the Chartist principles , upon presenting their petition was , that they wanted an alteration in the currency , and that that was the Charter . ( Loud cheers and laughter . )

      When the poor gentlemen , who constituted that . Conference , had exhausted the exchequer , which contained thousands of pounds , they abandoned the cause , the Birmingham delegates nestled themselves in snug offices , the poor gentlemen , who bad lived so long upon the funds of the people , became Free Trade spouters and agitators , repudiating Chartism , and contended for Free Trade . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Well , then came 1842 ; and again , he and others were prosecuted for ei ght days at Lancaster , for resisting the violence of Free Traders , knowing that violence would damage the cause of Chartism , and many of our professing friends , who had written and spoken revolution and rebellion , were the first to be placed in the witness-box to swear a-rainst the Chartists .

      ( Hear , hear . ) Next came 18-18 , the period of the French Revolution , when they were again urged on to madness in that very half , by gentlemen , one of whom declared that he stood upon that very platform , with his heart in his hand —( cheers and laughter)—ready to die for the cause . Well , were there not then a few desertions , and no few spies and informers , and was it not a wonder — nay , a miracle—that Chartism , after being exposed to SO many traps and diffieulties , should , once more , unfurl its banner , and resolve to march onward ? ( Loud cheers . ) Now , he had defined the Reform movement , the Radical movement , and the Chartist movement for the last twenty years ,

      and he would ask them , whether there was upon record , an instance of a people standing alone , contending against , and surviving so many difficulties ? ( Cheers . ) For his own part , he looked upon the suppression of speech , and the persecution of opinion , not only as an injustice , but as a crime , lie would allow every man to propound his own doctrines , no matter how irreconcilable or repugnant they may be to the feelings of others . ( Cheers . ) If the principles propounded were sound and good , and mot with the concurrence of the majority , they would be adopted ; if they were unsound , and repugnant to the feelings of the majority , they would be rejected . ; but , however unsound they may be , if the propounders of them were persecuted ^ tho

If a ' man believed in the doctrine he had a < perfect right to propound it , and if it could ; be sustained by fair and legitimate argument , it mjght , become popular r however , ho had always pertmacibusly refused to mix up Chartism with Communism , or any other ism , and he would perfcinaeiously-adhere to that .

      would ' . tell him that liberty being established at home despotism should not prevail abroad ; and then the cause of Hungary and Poland , and other countries , contending for their liberties , would be espoused by the British Minister , when he was the Minister of the British people , and not of an interested faction . ( Loud cheering . ) There was nothing more easy than to elicit a cheer by expressing sympathy for those who contended for liberty in Foreign countries , while not a word of sympathy was expressed for the famished Irish people . ( Hear , hear . ) Cows afar off have , long horns , but what would they think if a million individuals died of the sword or of starvation in Foreign countries , while in a country , under British dominions ? a million have perished of hunger , in the course of a

      very short period . However , thank God , the mind of Ireland can no longer he recruited as the strength of a British Minister , who for years had based his power upon English and Irish dissension . Now , the priests had joined with the Irish people for the promotion of a veritable democracy —( loud cheers ) —and reviled and abused , as ho ( Mr . O'Connor ) had been , he had been invited to attend a meeting of his countrymen , which was shortly to take place at Castlccomer , in the county © f Kilkenny , and there he would faithfully develope tho principles of English Chartism . He would now describe for . them , the notions that a Foreigner entertained of British liberty . Some years ago , he was sailing up the Rhine , and was reading a very excellent treatise upon the cause of the potato rot .

      He left the book upon a table in the cabin and went up stairs , and upon his return , he found an Hungarian interpreter , who spoke all languages , reading tho book . He said that it was very valuable , and that he should like to have one ; I begged that he would accept it , as I could get another . We sat next each other at dinner , and entered into a comparison between the governmental system of Hungary and England . We commenced with the army . He said , " Well , the difference lies hero , if a man enlists in England he is a slave for life ; but it' he enlists inHungary , he is a soldier for seven years , and if ho is in tho cavalry , if he is able to purchase his horse , he may take it with him . " Then wc turned to the Game Laws , And ho said , " Well , the difference lies here , if you shoot a hare in

      Hungary you cook it for your dinner ; but if yau shoot a hare in England you go to prison . " " Well , but , " said I , " What do you think of our Press ?" ' * Oh , mais , that is the Diavolo—the Devil ; the difference lies here—in England the rich pays the press for telling lies of the poor , but in Hungary we are not allowed to tell lies of any one . " ( Great chcering-and laughter . ) His ( Mr . O'Connor ' s ) most anxious desire was to make the rich richer , and tho poor rich . ( No , no ; from a man who stood up in the gallery . ) Who said "No , no , " asked Mr , O'Connor . Istheveany man so selfish as not to allow any person to become wealthy by his own industry , whether by mental or manual labour ? ( Cheers . ) He repeated it , that that was his object , and the darling wish of his life ; and , as he stated in

      the House of Commons , in his speech upon Lord Ashley ' s motion , if he could group all the bloood-suckers who lived upon the sweat , and blood , and marrow of poor little children , in one lump , he would extinguish them at once . ( Loud cheers . ) Those were the men who audaciously complained of the ignorance of poor little children , who worked and toiled when they should bo receiving instruction ; some of them voted for Mr . Hume ' s motion , for tho " little Charter , " merely to cater for popularity ; while if one ofthem had to give a casting yotc for the destruction of a system upon which their monopoly is based , they would vote the other way . ( Loud cheers . ) But , as they well knew that the motion would be lost , they preferred being in the minority . Some men were now seeking for popularity by denouncing the Walmsley movement ; but he never would base his popularity upon such a rank injustice . ( Cheers . ) That party enabled them to get good places of meeting , enabled the Chartists

      to destroy the prejudices that existed against them , by ably and faithfull y propounding their principles , which were the princi ples of justice , not of violence and folly ; whereas , during the palmy days of Free Trade agitation , if a Chartist dared to appear upon the platform , to propound his principles , a policeman was instantly ordered in , and ho was as instantly ordered out , in a most brutal and violent manner ; but now they had acquired a different position ; and to show his ( Mr . O'Connor' ) deeprooted affection for the people ' s cause , let him inform that meeting , that at every meeting of the council of that Association , ho ( Mr . O'Connor ) was most brutally reviled and abused . But what would bo his feelings , and what would bo their feelings if any personal pique or vanity upon his part , could induce him to otter opposition to any movement which was capable of bone-fitting their order ! Because ho was with them , and ever remain with them , he was nobody jhut what situation would the

Not all the money in the Exchequer . ( Loud cheers . ) He would now conclude , by again . repeating his former definition bf ^ moral and physical power : — Moral power is the deliberative quality in each man ' s mind , which teaches him ; how to reason , how to endure , and wheii forbearance becomes a crime ; and should that fail to secure for man all those rights to whii ; h lie is justly entitled , and should physical' force be required ; ( which Godforhid ) , itwou'dcome to their aid like ' an electric shock ;; but the man who martials it destroys it , and will be the first to desert it . " , ' ¦ ' , " . ( Cheers . ) Now , the truth ofthis ' was perfectly J ' lust ™* ed by a gentleman who called upon him .

      ( Great applause . ) Mr . W . J . Vebnox came forward amidst much cheering , and said—he regretted that both Messrs . O'Connor and O'Brien had left the platform , as the few words he had to say be should have liked those two gentlemen to have heard . Mr . O'Connor had declared that he was no Communist ; now he , ( Mr . Vernon ) was . ( Loud cheers ) . He protested against Mr . O'Connor ' s saying , " there never was , or would be , any . man who loved the people as much as he did . " — True , he was not so big a man as Mr . O'Connor , but he loved , with all his heart , and Mr . O'Connor could not do more . ( Hear , hear . ) To Mr . O'Connor they owed much : he was an effective agitator ; but he ( Mr . Vernon ) humbly thought , nothing but an agitator . He conceived that Mr . O'Connor had broucHt them up to a

      position , and there left them , which more than once had compelled them to renew the Charter agitation . ( Hear , hear . ) He differed from Mr . O'Connor ' s view of Socialism It was his ( Mr . Vernon ' s ) opinion , that it was their duty to change society to things , and not circumstances to society . He demurred to both Messrs . O'Connor and O'Brien , as he thought ifc was wrong that the rich should enjoy their thousands whilst so many were starving . ( Loud cheers . ) He wished every man to be 30 rich that no man should he driven " to take from another . He contended that Socialism meant equal or equitable distribution . ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution was then put and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting quietly dispersed , a considerable number having been enrolled as members of the National Charter Association .

      BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH , New Roap , LqSDOX AUSEKIC IN CHOLEUA !!! OH ! OH ! Oil ! Fellow CeuNTKTMEs , — What to you think of this ? Arsenic in cholera ! Oil ! Oh ! Well , ff you will take the trouble of looking into the Mcdi : al Tone ? , you will find printed in large letters , ' Case or Asiatic Ciioi . i . iu successfully treated witu Abses ' . c' A doctor positively advising arsenic in cholera—the case is also reported at length in the o'Slth number of the Ili / gclst , to be hud at the office , 3 U 8 , Strand , price Id , or ' - 'd by post . Well , can you be surprised , my friends , that » ve should have so many

      cases of felonious poisoning throughout the country by arsenic ? What is the real . ditl ' ei eneo between the poisoner , and the doctui- ? Why , that in one ease the party , when he dies , is said to have been murdered by arsenic , and in the other , to have died of some disease or ether . Let things , we say , be called by their proper names . The doctor * have made the public w familiar with poisons , that tho lower classes think there is no harm in taking a lesson from the ' Guinea trade gentlemen ; ' anil , for our own part , we do not see any real difference between the felonious poisoner ajjd . the doctor—the only ditterence is , that the doctor , in some cases , gives the poison in such ( loses as not to hill , though In many he docs kin , but then don't you see it is called ' death or disease , ' and not ' murder . '

      Now , fellow countrymen , can yon be surprised , that what was called cholera last year , should have been so fatal , whilst such poisons were given for its cure ? Arsenic , opium , Ac . That this doctor ' s advice was generally taken about arsenic in cholera we will not say , but it was published in the columns of a u'idcljH'Jmtli ! t ( d medical paper , and answered the purpose intended mightUi / , viz ., of rao-CLAIMISG DEADLY 1 'OISOKS AS Cl'itES FOR CIIOt . FJtA—Oh , OB . What a pity that the aqua tol ' ana is iiulinown to doctorsthey might just give a little of it to some unfortunate patient , and then publish to tho world with trumpettOllgUfc . ' that the aqua tofima was an excellent remedy for SOine disease orother , ' and tho poor ignorant and confiding public would swallow all . We sJioultl then see ' aqua

      tofana , marked on fine bottles in the chemists' and druggists' shops of this fair island . Let the vc 0 Ple anse " om their lethai-cry I The members of the llritish College of Health , therefore call for the total prohibition of the following deadly poisons as medicines : — 1 , Arsenic in all its forms , 2 . Trussic Acid hi all its forms . , 3 . Opium in all its forms . 4 . llorcury in all its forms . 5 . N ' ux Vomica in all its forms , C . The different metals in all then' chemical combinations , which , being wbn ' . ly indigestible do not , and never can , assimilate with tlcbh and bkO'J .
