If tbev really meant to convince the people tbat it was Mr O'Connor ' s Association let them make a statement of the fact ; bntrfor bis own par ? , he had long fought under the banner of the Charter , and he would continue to bold it np until it waved triumphant over the ruins of class legislation . { Immense applause . ) Mr LiearowLEB briefly sapported Mr Clark ' s motion . Mr Shireon , who rose under great excitement said he was b ^ und to sf ate from his own knowledge the fatal consequences arising from that association , n * knew that they had sent m ? n into Scotland who had damned the cause by their intemperance , and he could no * , endure that such an association should be allowed to state that it was conducted with dignity . Great interruption , and cries of * Let ' s have it oat . 1 ...
Mr Rasris . — We shall never have healthy a movement , until our giievances are heard out . ( Cheers , and confusion . ) . . Mr M'Grath as an officer of the Association , had great pleasure in calling upon Mr Shirron , to state any grievance whatever against any officer of the Association . Mr Ee 52 st JeKES said , their nWto was , ' Measures not Men , ' and protested against these charges . lit Ktdd . the real qtustion before us is the differencs between Association and Confederation If there are charges to be made , let due notice be given ofthem . Mr Rakeik ( with great warmth ) we are chal ' enged to bring forward charges , and I demand thai I shall he allowed to do so . ( Uproar . )
Mr West declared tbat if the Assembly was not lietier conducted , he should tendtr his resignation and leave tomorrow . ( Here a great number of the Speakers were on their legs at once , and the visitors in the gallery took an active part in the com motion , which at length subsided . Mr Shieeos rose to explain . He bad no charge to make ajainst the Executive Committee of the Chartist Association . ( Loud cheers . ) He certainly had differed with the eent ' eman at its head hut he beliered his errors were those of judgment only , and he wonld bs happy again to cooperate with him . ( Applause- ) At the same time he was bound to do
evervthinsin his power to place the movement on a healthy basis . ( Hesr , hear . ) 2 £ r ConncUlor Beiggs liked honeity of purpsse , and gave all credit to the Scottish delegates , but he would ssy at tne same time , that if ilr O'Connor had done nineteen things well and the twentieth wroag , tbey were not toforgtt the goedbe had done for thatone lapse . Ht coula tell them tbat in ShtSeld he was the most popu lar man that ever came to that town . Ko other mar coald get together so many of the people to hear him . ana moreover he bettered he wat not only the mo » t popular man in SaeStld , bat in England also . ( Renewed applaase .
Mr Piluks considered this little Dickering anions themselves to be like s quarrel among a set of women . nbo whf n tbey fell oat let all the street know what the row was sboat . If tbe transaction were known at Ashton the peop ' e would say to as—let us save our money , for your squabbles are useless . ( Hesr , hear . ) After af rw observation ? from Mr Mathews , Hr Cochrake said tbat in fact Chartism had been allowed to slumfeer for the la » t iwe years , until the recent revolutions abroad awakened tbe Executive . He believed it absolutely m cessary tbat a new movement should he commenced under other men ihau either O ' Cannor , Brewster , or O'Brien , and he supported the change in thename , in order to show tbat the Cbartiets were prepared to take advantage of the state of the public mind at the present moment .
Jfr Leace condemned , in strong Imgnagr , tbe waste of time which characterised the tsittinss ofthe Assembly aad after Hr Arkell , Mr Adams , Mr M Lean , Mr Mscfc intosh , and other delegates bad spoken , tbe motion and amendment were pat , when fourteen voted for the amendment , and the motion for retaining tbe origina l same was carried by a aajority of three to one amidst vehement applsiise , ) J £ r West gave notice tfeathe would bring under consideration the Repeal of the Ultra , in order to f ive Mr Dohesj en opportunity of expressing his opinion upon the subject , ( Cheers . )
Oattte motion of Mr T . Claek , Messrs , M'D-nall , Jones , Wheeler , Churchill , Inse : i , Donovan , and Rankin , were appointed a committee to prepare a plan 01 ergachation and repart to the Assembly , which ad . joarned at the usual hour .

There are three or four of the most industrious men at O'Connorville , and with the largest families , who yet require a small portion of seed to complete their spring sowing , and if any kind friends will supply the means , through Mr O'Connor , the recipients will cheerfully return the amount at harvest , with five per cent , interest .

" Measures, Not Men/' The Charter And No...
" MEASURES , NOT MEN /' THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER ! In no spirit of petty triumph we point to the exhibition of national feeling recorded in the columns of this day ' s Star , with regard to Mr O'Connor and his accusers . The people have given their verdict , and in such terms as must convince the most rabid of Mr O'Connor ' s foes of the utter hopelessness of destroying the object of their hatred , so long as he remains faithful to the cause of which he is the recognised representative , and true to the movement of which he is the acknowledged chief .
The mass of resolutions and addresses on this subject contained in this week ' s St ^ R , do not include more than half the number received . To have given the whole we must have curtailed the reports of the Assembly ' s proceedings ; we preferred rather to postpone till our next number many of the enthusiastic testimonials of popular regard , which , in jus tice to Mr O'Connor , and to the people themselves , ought to have appeared in our present uumber .
We have said we record these popular manifestations in no feeling of petty personal triumph . Every man in the National Assembly will see in these manifestations his own safeguard against calumny and misrepresentation . Let any Chartist leader , as well as Mr O'Connor , " be unjustly assailed , and he will find the people prepared to as zealously defend him . Every honest man will consider that he has a share in Mr O'Connor ' s triumph —only knaves will regret his victory .
This week the Assembly has repudiated thealleged hostility to Mr O'Connor , popularl y ascribed to it . For ourselves we never imagined ' , that any considerable number of the Delegates were animated by a sentiment at once so unjust and so impolitic . We knew that the denuaciators were but a few . Unhappily they were the noisiest , and so stamped the body with a character which was unjust to the Assembly as a whole . The Assembly has now set itself right in the eyes ofthe public , and we feel confident will not again allow any foolish or evil-disposed men to place it in the wrong .
We adopt the Assembly ' s motto , "Measures , not men . ' ' As far as we can concur in the acts of the Delegates , their " measures shall have our hearty support , quite independent of the question of '' men . " The principal wori \ the Assembly was delegated to perform , was , undoubtedly , the presentation of the Memorial to the Queen , and this should have been , if not the first , one of the first subjects of its deliberations . The unfortunate affair of the National Petition , unquestionably did the movement considerable damage . The wickedness of our enemies , combined with the want of judgment on the part of our friends , rendered the National
Petition worse than a nullity . In our humble opinion , the Convention should have taken steps to have remedied this misfortune . In answer to the triumphant veilings and scoffings ef our enemies , the Convention ehould have engaged to have procured some manifestation oi public opinion , similar to what the National Petition was intended to have been ; of course , taking the necessary means to guard against imposition and misrepresentation . It was most essential that some such exhibition of the Will of the People should have preceded the presentation of the Memorial . Unfortunately , the Convention decided otherwise . We lament that the Assembly did not reverse that decision .
Declining to re-open the National Petition question , the best mode ef presenting the Memorial should hare been the first subject of
" Measures, Not Men/' The Charter And No...
the Assembly's deliberation s , iu discuss" ulterior measures" before presenting the Mem jrial , was " putting tha cart before Ihe horse . ' ' Now that the subject has been discussed , the delegates appear to have come to a prudent decision thereon . It appears that the Lord Chamberlain is already in possession of the intimation that a deputation from the people desire to see her Majesty the Queen , face to face , to present the Memorial , demanding a dissolution ofthe present corrupt House of Commons , and the dismissal of her
unpopuiaradvisers , to make way for honest men , who will be prepared to do justice to the people by making the Charter a Cabinet measure . Certain parties are clamorous for a procession to attend the deputation to the Queen . Under present circumstances , such a move would be the perfection of madness . A procession means fighting , for which the people are not prepared . Circumlocution of speech on such a subject would be cowardice . We give utterance to what we believe to be the truth . We , too , wish to " bring the question to an issue , " but we wish also that the issue may be victory for
Chartism . To sanction any move which , in all probability , would bring another sort of issue , would draw down upon us the curses of millions , and render conseience itself our unrelenting accuser . We perceive that the Assembly has voted the holding of an aggregate meeting of the men of London , to sanction the Memorial . We understand that the said meeting will take place , on Monday evening next , on Clerkenwell Green . We trust that every Democrat in London will rally to that gathering , to the cry of
•< THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !" Amongst the ' * measures ' ' included in the work of the Assembly performed within the present week , which we feel called upon to applaud , we may enumerate the resolution ofDr M'Douall and Mr Councillor Brook , regarding the middle class agitation for the Suffrage ; Mr Rankin ' s resolution respecting the Army ; Mr West ' s resolution in support of the Repeal of the Union , and Mr Carver ' s resolution against State Church-craft . These reso / utions are calculated , we hope , to bring us " troops of friends . " We should not omit favourable mention of Mr Kydd ' s excellent address to men of all classes . Such " measures" do credit to the Assembly , and will , we hope , command universal approbation .
The new plan of organisation we shall not discuss at present ; we wait until it . comes before us in proper form . It will be seen that a new Executive ha ? been appointed—provisionally . In the course of a few weeks , the people will either confirm the Assembly ' s choice or appoint others . Holding ourselves at perfect liberty to discuss " measures / ' we shall leave " men * ' to speak for themselves . The members of the new Executive are well known to the people , and their acts in the past , the present , and the future , sufficieatly speak , and will speak , for them .
The Assembly has determined to ask the people for a « Liberty Fund" of 10 , 000 / . Of course every locality will respond to the appeal . For the new Executive to earn the confidence of the people it must work ; but to work ; and work efficiently , that Executive must be supplied with the means of working . As the acknowledged organ of the Chartist movement , we feel we but express the general opinion of the Chartist body , in expressing our thanks to the good men and tiua who formed the late Executive , and for so many years braved the battle and the breeze of
aristocratical hostilit y , and bore -up ajrainst the still more formidable obstacle of public apathy . To he ice-bound by the freezing breath of popular indifference , is far worse than fo be blown by the gusts of tyranny upon the leeshore of political p roscription . We have always objected to the duties of the Land Directory and the Chartist Executive being im potpd upon the same body , it is impossible for one set of mei to perform the duties of both offices fully iiiiU railljfullj . "Wo m < ricfore gladly accept any arrangement calculated to ensuie the proper guidance of the Chartist movement , without injuring the Land movement . It , however , must not be forgottea
that , but for the Land Directors giving their gratuitous services , there would have been no Executive , and nothing in the shape of an organised Chartist party . It may be true that the late Executive did not do all for Chartism that ought to have been done , but that was the misfortune of its members , rather than their fault . Men as honest as Aristides , as eloquent as Demosthenes , and as devoted as Regulus , could do nothing for the People ' s ! regeneration , unless supported by the people themselves . Let us hope that the new Executive , coming into office at a more favourable ' o p time , will not lack the necessary support for necessary action .
ONWARD , AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL ! THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER
Parliamentary Review.) The Stir And Bust...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . ) The stir and bustle outside of Parliament , which has this week crowded our columns so much as scarcely to leave room for our usual commentaries upon passing events , is singularly contrasted by the proceedings within 1 'ariiament . Day by day the fact becomes more palpable , that the State machine is in want of more efficient engineers , and tbat , unless they are speedily found , it will stop altogether . Virtually , we may almost say it has stopped , for it is impossible to look at the melancholy list of " count outs , " postponements , and excuses of all sorts for shirking work—which have characterised this week's proceedings—without feeling that they are tantamount to an abrogation of the duties of Government and Legislation . In the House of Lords , Lord Stanley made the Diplomatic Correspondence ofLordPalmerston with the Court of Spain , upon which we recently commented , the theme of a severe , but well-merited ,
castigation . The only defence offered - if defence it could be called—was , that the dispatch was a confidential one , and our Minister at Madrid had exceeded his instructions in sending it to the Spanish Foreign Minister . This was truly a Whiggish defence—mean , and truckling , and ungenerous . The only back-door by which they could escape , was to throw the blame upon an underling , and endeavour to screen Lord Palmerston by sacrificing-Sir H . Bulwer . But even this miserable subterfuge failed them , because—as Lord Stanley afterwards conclusively proved , by an extract from a
subsequent dispatch of Lord Palmerston—that Minister formally communicated the " approbation of Her Majesty ' s Government " , ( not his own approbation , be fit remembered , but the approbation of the Government ) , for the course he had taken in the matter , " " When this puzzler was put to poor Lord Lansdowne , he was perfectly " dumb-foundered '—as they say across the Tweed—and begged , for mercy ' s sake , they would say no more about it . The quarrel was a nasty , foolish , and disagreeable one , but it was now all over ; and where was the necessity for reviving such
disagreeable subjects ? Very true . But who got you into that scrape , my Lord ? And if Spain had been a little more able to stand up for herself than she is just now , the people ef Eng land might have been got into the scrape too . As it is , no doubt the offence has been recorded as one of many for which , some time or other , a day of reckoning may come . It is well that Palmerston slight of hand dexterity , which has saved him from detection in so many previous instances , lias not succeeded in throwing the public off the scent this time , but thatheshou ^ stand detected as the impertinent , meddling , and mischievous coxcomb , that he really ig . Another of t he " lost , stolen , osrfefcray d
Parliamentary Review.) The Stir And Bust...
Irish measures made its appearance in the House of Lords on Monday night . The Encumbered Estates Bill passed through a stage , but whether we shall again lose si ght of it till the end of the session , when , with other unfortunate abortions , it will be consigned to limbo—remains to fee seen . The Public Health Bill , after many alterations—so many that it is impossible to recognise the original—made its appearance in the Lower House on the same evening . It passed the allotted sta ge ; but no one , now , has the least confidence in the wisdom or firmness of Ministers . Probably , the next time we get a sight of it , the measure will be " transmogrified" into something altogether different .
On Tuesday the House was counted out at half-past seven , after some unimportant business , mainly consisting of questions and answers , had been gone through j and on Wednesday evening the business—so to speakconsisted almost entirely of postponements of business , and the House rose two hours before its usual time ! Such conduct mi ght be worthy of a more extended comment , but , mindful of the pressure on our columns , we pause for the present , leaving the fact to speak for itself .

SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION AND CHAR TIST PROCESSION AT LEICESTER .
Feargus O'C-nnor , E ? q ., M . P ., visited Leicester tfam ^ fetih & M kmSimj ^^ M 8 S ?§ i WUffl . previous week , that a procession should take place on the occasion , and some of tbe wealthy Tories either were or professed to be afraid , tbat if it wan allowed the peace of the borough would be disturbed , and probab ' y their property might be injured . In consequence of these fears a special meeting of the magistrates was . held on Saturday , to consider the propriety of preventing ihe procession . This
meeting was attended bv the Mayor , John Biggn , Esq ., who is an advocate for freedom of thought , and freedom of speech , and who , we believe , entertained no fear ofthe Chartists ; and there were other liberal magistrates present , so many indeed as to out vote the Tories , and so the procession was not put down . To quell the fesrj of the timorous , however , the Chartist Council issued a Brazil handbill , assuring the public that they intended nothing at variance with peace , law , and order , and requesting ail who mi fe'bt join in the procession to do so , without either a walking-stick or cane in their hand ? .
The weetheron Monday was exceedingly fine , and many persons from the surrounding villages , and some from Loughborough , a distance of eleven miles , availed themselves of the opportunity to pay their respects to the great champion of CJartism . Before two o ' clock in tbe afternoon the people began ig assemble ia large numbers in the market place , and a procession of the unfortunate workmen , who , by the depressed state of trade have been long out of employmf nt , aad have been employed latterly in breaking stones , and working at the workhouse mill for tenpence a-day , took their stand in front of the Exchange .
The order of the procession was t s follows : —Band oneaeed by the Council of the National Charter Aa . sociation—acarraigeand pair , containing Mr George Buckbyand friends—the stone breakers- ( a number of stocking makers and others out of work , and who are thus cm & Ioyed , I suppose ab ^ ut 1400 ) — carriage drawn by four splendid hi . raes , containing F . O'Connor , E > q .. accompanied by a gentleman from Lincoln , and Messis Green and Burton of Leicester—the Chartist Council in char-a-banc and pair . followed by membars ^ and friends —tUe National Land Company , headed by their com mittee in carriage and pair , with band foJloivingr—the trades , also headed with band—the country , Lough , borough taking the lead with bai . d , and a carriage
containing MrSkevington and fnnds . it is difficult to form a correct estimate ; I have heard many and Widely different calculations given ; on this one point , however , I think scarcely a doubt remains , namely , that no procession in Leicester , in modern times , has exceeded in numbers the one that took place on Monday last . Banners , flags , & 3 ., engaged by the Various companies , were distributed throughout the procession . The route taken was as follows ' ;—From the Railway-station , down London-road , Belvoir . street , Welford-road , Oxford-street . Friar-Line , Market p / ace , ( enterirg by the Fish Market , ) llighstreet , North Gate-street , Sanvy Gate , Church Gate , Bel'tave Gate , Woodboy-atreet , Wbarf-street , Pwut iandUstreet , Granby-a ^ reet , and llumberstone Gate .
Tne procession having been properly marshalled , proceeded to the Railway-station to meet Mr O'Con nor , who arrived by the up-train at a quarter past three o ' clock . Tbonsands of persona were anxiously awaiting his arrival , and immediately on his appearance at the station dcor he waa greeted with tremendous cheering , clapping of hands , and waving of hats , and many pressed forward to have the pleasure ol ofaoking him by the hand . Having taken his seat in an open carriage , drawn by four horses , acompanied by MrGreen , grocer , and Mr W . II . Burton , printer , of Leicester , and a gentleman from Lincoln , the procession moved on . In all parts of the route , the streets and windows were thronged with spectators , and Mr O'Connor was frequently greeted with enthusiastic applause . Festoons of evergreens were hung acrosi several streets through which the pro cession passed , and at the office of the Land Corapany , in Church . Gale , a full length portrait of Mr O'Connor was exhibited , and a motto
' Welcome , 0 C-mnor , Welcome ! band in hand "With our loved Charter , And tUQ smiling Land . ' was posted near te it . The portrait attracted the attention of all passers-by ; and on the approach of the carriage in which Mr O'Connor rode , a number of ladies appeared at the office window , and greeted him by the waving of handkerchiefs . At about half-past five o'clocfr , the procession was brought to a close in Uumberstone gate , wfcere many thousands of persons had assembled , and Mr O'Connor , attended by the leading members of the Chartisi body in Leicestershire , made his appearance on the balcony in front of the Bell Hotel , and was received with lond and long continued tbe'ring . When the cheering had sub ? iiiedthe honourable gentleman said : —
, That gloi ions scene would warm the blood in colder veins than his , and their eheering countenances , and hearty welcome , reads even his Irish blood run hotter in bis veins . iMfem . ) Although the rest

ot the world might frown upon him , so long as he had the smiles of his children , he set the world at defiance . ( Cheer ? . ) He had come amongst them at an auspicious time , when the monarchs and govirnnrtnta of other countries were obliged to bow their despotic heads to the will and the power of the people . He came to tell them that he would not 1 . ng softer such a state of things as he had that day seen depleted in the pa ' e facea of tha little children ofthe hard wo » king poor , while idlers were revelling in luxuries . ( Cheers . ) There wag no man who know hire , but knew that h 3 would rather stab him 8 ? ll to the heart , than give u : > a single point of the people ' s rights . ( Cheers . ) They were all entitled ts a fair day ' s wages fur a fair day ' s work . That wa <
tfce principle which was animating men in other countries , and if ever the day should come when the r ich and the po ^ r of this country should be arrayed azainst each other , he would be found in the ranks ofilnpoor . ( Chetrs . ) Ic was very well for those who had plenty of this world ' s goods to say « Wait a little longer antil you have knowledge . ' Thfyhad auffijientTknoviledge to tell them they would not wait , much longer for their rights * ( Cheers ) That was language no stronger than he had uted in the House ot Commons . Other countries had said that labour must have its due , ard he would tbntdaj swear before high Heaven that the labourers of England and inland too , should have their dues , ( Loud cheering . ) Labour should have its representatives
as well as wealth . No longer should the £ 10 house be more knowing , or have more p . wtr , than the brains of man . It was true their leaders had been jarring , tut notwithstanding some little differences did exist , their enemies need not exalt over them , for , like man and wife , although they allowed themselves to fall out , they did not allow anvbody elae to interfere with them . ( Cheers . ) Theiemight be paleness ia his cheek * , but the blood waa warm at hia heart ; and if younger and stronger m ^ n out stepped him for a time , they must have long le ^ a to outrun him in the end . lie invited the middle classes to hear him that evening ; and be would show them that the people were not so ignorant as some porple hsd represented them to be . They hadknowled e
to know when they were hungry , and when their children were crying for bread . 'Ihty had knowledge to dis injuish between a good man and a tyrant , and that viat wh > t they feared . If 1 hey were ignorant thny would enfranchise them tomorrow . Was it necessary that they _ should learn Latin or Greek , or those ungrnmmalical language ! in which the acts of Claries at d Jamps ware printed , and which the Attorney-General had been so industriously bringing to light during the last few weeks ? Such knowledge was not necessary to en & b ' e a man to exercise the franchise . While looking at tho little children ol Leicester that day , he had thought of the difference between them and the little children whose parents he had placed upon the land , and he was now deter .
mined to place them all there before he stopped . He had sworn that every man who was now causing a glut in the labour market should be removed from the place where there was a surplus of labour , and placed where he could obtain a comfortable livelihood—as God had commanded him— 'by the sweat of hia brow . ' ( Cheers ) He had sworn that while there was so nniih surplus labour in the market , no idle s « t of parsons should continue to waste the produce ofthe land on themselves- ( Hear . ) Leicester was a great Iree trade town , and for God ' * sake let them not be monopolists in salvation . It
tbe more woe and tribulation they bad in this world , the greater would be their happiness in the next , let tbe parsors have their share here , that they might be as happy as their iieighbours hereafter ( Cheers . ) After censuring tbe London press for the unfairness it had manifedted in reporting the numbers and proceedings ofthe Chartist body , Mr O'Con nor congratulated the Leicester people on their having two papers , tie Chronicle , and the MERCiBr , which'bad given them faithful reports . He was no monopolist in circulating opinion , but would recommend those v » ho could not take two papers to give up the Northern Star , and take the Mbrcuby
( Cries of ' No , no , we never will . ) Aftera few words more , Mr O'Connor concluded by announcing that the meeting in the Amphitheatre , would commence at seven o'clock .
THE EVENING MEETING was , according to announcement , held in the Ampbi theatre . Long before the hour appointed , the spacious building began to fill with great rapidity , and * oon after seven o ' clock was crowded to exc ^ s ; which rendered the atmosphere so oppressive that hundreds of men in the front gallery pulled off their coats . Before the arrival of Mr O'Connor , Mr Buckby , the delegate of the late Convention , gave out the hymn , commencing * Base oppressors , Ac ., ' which was sung with great enthusiasm . The arrival of Mr O'Connor was the signal for loud and long continued cheering , and when that had subsided ,
Mr Gbbbs was called upon to preside , and said , he would not occupy much of their time ; but when he saw auch a meeting as that , he was perfectly paralysed to hoar that people should say that Chartism was dead Why , so far from being dead , there was no oarty in the country able to c > mp < te with them . They had a great meeting on Thursday night week , but what was that compared with tbe preaent ? H ' was the best meeting they had ' ever had in ' the to ' wn ! lie knew they were anxious to hear tbeir great Champion , and would give cuA a beautiful song which had been composed for the occasion , by their friend VVm . Jone ? , and which they would sing to the tune of , ' We'll rally around him . ' This song—of which tho following ia a copy—was then sung in a most enthusiastic manner .
Tone . — ' We'll rally around him . ' Come forth from the valleys , come forth from the hills ; Come forth from the mountains , tho mines , looms , and mills ; AriflB in vour greatness , ye middle class men;—Let us gtrivo for the Caarter again snd again ! We ' ve stood by our Chnrter for many long years , Inscribed it with 80 U /? 8 andb'dowcd H with tears!—Through good anl through evil , in joy and in pain—And we'll yet rMy around it ajtain and again ' .

Ye middle Class . hovYiug round poverty ' s briok . The vortex is widening , and soon ye must sink!—Unl 68 » for the Charter ye woke voice and pea , And rally around It agvln and ag & vnt Theneomo from the valleys , and come from the hills ; Cjniu forth frjm the mountains , the mines , looms , aud nv'l ' s ; Arise in jour greatnea * , yo middle class men ;—Let us s trive for tho Caarter again and again ! The Chairman then said , he had great pleasure in 'ntroducinp tbeir unpurcbasable friend , Feargus O'Connor , E q . ( Loud cheering , clapping Oi hands , and waving of hats and handkerchief * -. ) When the cheering had subsided , Mr O'Connor said , although that exhibition
might ba dangerous m these timea to a person 01 his excitable temperament , yet when he saw tbe gladdening foe-s of freemen before him , he trampler the Whig Treason Act under his feet . ( Cheers ) Iftherewe . ro not intended to beone statute law for the rich , and another for the poor—the spirit of its constitution for the wealthy , and the blank letter for tbe indigent , he saw now before him , and had heard in their sons , enough knowledge to break through all tho absolute tyranny of a Whig govern ruent . ( Cheers . ) He told ihem in ' 33 , and he told them now , tbat they lived in new times , and required new men to govern them . Tne Whigs at tempted to govern them on ( he old system ; buttbi * was an age oi steam , of prin ing pre-sss , of penny
pottage , and ef the electric telegraph , and it was ne cessary that these clod poles thould march canard out of their way , or else the people would march over them . ( Cheers . ) They ( jot the Reform Bill a few years ago , which wts to have given them peace , retrenchment , and reform , h had given thtm a forced peace at home—it had increased taxes to tht amount of £ 12 000 . 000 annually , and given the landlords tho power to ride roughshod over them : bu there was no Reform in the cabinet and the govern ment . They were next promised cheap bread , high wages , and plenty to do ; and they contended , like men , for it . They denounced him ( MrO'C ) not for opposing free-trade , but becauao he wont further than them , aud told them they wanted free-trade \ u legislation , as well as in bread . The ) had it . and how did they like it ? ( A voice— ' We
never got it ') They had now more than two bundrednew members returned at the lastelectinn , in consequence of pledges to do something for the people , and yet he ( Mr O'Connor ) pronounced the present , tke moat cjrrupt parliament , whichever sat . ( Cheers . ) Why did he tell them this ? lo teach them that all these things which had been promised them , had done them no good , and that profiting by past times they should not be deceived any longer . They had tow a wold awaken < Bg to treed <„ m . Crowns were falling-thrones were crumb bring—( a voice— ' Increase the number ') , and Vhere waa no country where there was so much dec potbm as in this . Ti ? ey were asked to , wait a U 44 le longer until the sane mind tf the coasitty has propounded ita system of rsftiraa . He ( Mr O'Connor ) told them in 1829 tbet War / wiild & et

nothing by the Reform Bill , and they got nothing by it . They had pot nothing by free tradfl . Ni-wibey were askt-d to unite again . Now he ( Mr O'Connor ) wou'd not trust unless he was trusted . ( L'Hid Serine . ) _ Juggled so often—deceived so often—he « aid , if their principles were to bcpef- ' t the many , let them go with the many . ( Hear . ) Th « y bad no antipathy to the middle classes . ( No , no ) Th » -y said that the man wlo tvjgghut up in a pdor-Iaw hastile , was not . so good a customer as the man who was at work , The people had come to a resoluti . n that the next conflict for labour was one in which the people should not beju ^ gieri . If the midd e elates would come and join tkem they w . iuld open their arms to receive them ; bnt if they thought ot plucking one bristle from the animal—if they ( bought of changing
the name of it , the people wou'd have nothing to d <> with them . ( Cheers ) The French r , eop ' e ' 'id pot ¦ t ? k tor tho Charter , but they < x > t it before tbo Eiwiiih had decided up < 'n ir . And wht-n they who were not prepared for it had got it , were they ( the English ) , thoufh death should stare Ihem in the faotrfiO be satisfied without it ? Why were the French not so prepared for it as tbe English ? It was not tbe fault ot the people , but of their tyrants . The people of Eng land knew their rights . Ic had been his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) study through life to oganise public opinion , and to direct it . He was of opinion that no persons undento ^ the labour question so well as the working people of England . Take the land from ¦ he parsons who now p isseseed it—forit was intended for the benefit ol th- ) Hock , and not for that of the
id le shepherds . tChcen . ) If tbe tithe properly were appropriated tomorrow , it wonll locate five rml < ions •¦>( persons , and allow each father of a family £ 50 to begin with . ( Cheers ) Would they be told that men ' s souls were to bo saved by the perch , the rood , and the acre , and not by their own exe .-tions ? Would the middle classes never see to the land ? See ho » they " would be benefited by a proper appropriation of the land . If they had five millions of persons located , and allowed that each only took £ 3 waith of manufactured goods in . 1 yoar , that would be fifteen millions , which would be five tim = s aa much a * ihe Americans take . After a few more obs'rvatfons , showing the benefit the middle classes would derive from locating tbe surplus labour on the land , while the reo , ) le located would
he removed from starvation to comfort , Mr O'Connor said , he would Fay to lha middle chases , ¦ Yeones , coihe and join the fhousjndi . ' Heshou'dbe denounced by the press to-morrow , but the denunciation of faction was adulation . Wh-n the pressb » gan , to praise him , then let tho people suspect him . Were not their principles worth living for , and worth djing t ir ? Faction always rejoiced irer the differences of the people , but they were mistaken if they thought they were going to see their ranks broken up . However sorry he might feel in his own breast , because be could not please all ofthem ; however the National Assembly or any other men might abuse him , he would not desert them , but when they had done , like man and wife they conld kiss and make it up again . ( Cheers ) Perhaps his voice was
weak , and his energy might be fading or gone ; but "till bu Irish blood was warm in their cause . And if there were men who could see through the kaleidoscope at one view more than he could , he wished ( hem God speed . Why should he check them ? Ha did notlike to see ardent spirits too much cheeked ; and if they had tbe people with them he would go with rhem too . ( Cheers . ) Look at Ireland with her Mitchel and O'Brien . As soon as these young men 'alkabou ' . fighting the government secretary comes d , wn and wants co quadruple the elective franchise . No family had suffered somuch in the cause of freedom as his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) family . He had sucked nvdution from hia mother's breast ; he had been rocked in a revolutionary cradle , and bud sworn to hia God that , if need be , he would die for his
country in endeavouring to obtain tbeir rights . ( Loud cheers ) Did they suppose he was going to be juggled out of his share of the present movement ? Give up the name of the hog to morrow , and the whole animal would be buried tbe next day . If anything was to be gained it wai by being resolved . If they surrendered anything tbey would lose all . In the Sturge Conference they preserved it well , and if they save itupnow they would think them weaker than tbey were then . Th > y talked of siting thpm Universal Suffrage , but he wa * afraid thtir Universal Suffrage meant Household Suffrage ; and he would ra'her have Annual Parliaments with the present suffrage , than Septennial Parliaments with Universal Suffrage . With Septennial Parliaments members juggled them for » is years , and then turned good
iustat last , when they wanted electing again . If a man deceived him once he blamed him for it ; but it tie deceived h'm a second time he blamed himsel' ' . Referring again to the Land question , Mr O'Connor said , they were bringing their food three thousand miles across the Atlantic , and then many miles more bv itilnnd transit to Mark lane , while their own land was cryin ? , ' Come and till me . ' Instead of being in a P . mr Law baatile , his notion of a labouring man was that the unwilling idler ehould be as well ft d as the mas who waa at work . The man wha r ? S 8 from his bed of itraw ah ' e aud willing to work , with his children crying for bread , that man waa as deserving of food as any « ther , and ought to be provided for by the state . An . d every man who worked eight hours A . d . av . _ oughtto have as good a breakfast , as good a baa
i bed to lie down upon a * the (^ uesn . ( Uhears . ) Who fed the Q , ueen ? Who supported her family ? Tho families ofthe p . ior were sent by God , it was said , as a curse to them , but her family was a blessing to her . When , on the 10 th of April , thev marched through the police force , the specials , and the »« ilitary to Kentiington Common , the bishops addressed her Majesty . He should like to know wheie tbe loyalty ofthe bishops and parsons would be if they took away their tabes ; where would the 1 > yalty of the landlords be if tbey took away their i-tnts ? and where would theloyalty of the specials be if they < mly left them their staves t : feed upon ? He confessed to them that b s loyalty never burstedhim , aid never troubled him much . Lord Bojingbroke said , ' It is as much the duiy ofthe people to rebel against
a corrupt Ilouee of Commons , as itia to lebel against a tyrannical prince . ' Mark , ( to the reporters , ) those are not my w : > rds ; they are the words of Lord Bolingbroke . I do not say that our House of Commons is corrupt , so you may send it to the Secretary for the Home Department , the Attorney-General , or the Attorney General ' s devil—a person who i . i very well known . ( Laughter . ) I do not say that our Prince is tyrannical—how could she be 1 She is a woman . There can be no tyranny in petticoats . ( Laughter . ) But , as he had said , there was a power behind the throne greater than the throne itsdf , so there waa a power under 'the Queen ' s pt-t ' . iooats * greater tbm the Queen herself— a power which he ( Ur O'C . ) would not venture to enter uponlest be might violate the Crown
, and Government Protection Act . ( Roars of laughter . ) It was the most astonishing thing in the world to him , tbat a man twenty-one years old , had not sense enough to have a vote for a member of parliament , and a girl of eighteen should have sense enough to govern a country . They had no government no-v , Lord John Russell had no power . Tlry c old turn him out to morrow night , but for the Tories , It was tbat hypocrite , Peel , who kept him in office , lie ( Mr O'Comor ) liked Peel once , but his hypnerisy had turned his blood to gall . A plebeian himself , he was seeking the countenance of the aristocracy and the coEfulcnca in the monoyocracy , The demonstration which he had seen that day had quickrned his blcod . He oad been denounced for not moving fa ? t enough .
He hsdalwaysbeenging before , and calling , ' Come after me , ' and nob . jdy came ; but as ooon as there was an impetus given to the cause , they ran and laid , ' Come after u * t" and he would go after them , fie wou'd ask the middle classes of Leicester if they thought that if he were denounced by the press—if they bounded tbe whole world—even his own chilren—upon him , did they suppose he would abandon his principles ? No ! If they were to do so tomorrow be Would die with them , rather than in another party . ( Cteers . ) Rather than desert it he would travel with his infant naked through the land . Ho had carried it under his coal vjhen it wm > a litt ' e one , he had nursed it until it was of a monstrous size , ind * withal of beautiful proportions . Many never
heard of the Charter until the 10 th of April . Peop ' e now began tJ ask if that was the rickety bantling which required all those police and specials to put it down , lie would defy thera to prove that there was anything virions in any of its principles . Annual Pa ? lisments meant short accounts ; one year , and what shopkeeper liked more ? Universal Suffrage was , that every man who was taxed , should have a voiea i > 'l SCndiDg a representative to make the taxes . Vote bv Ballot was to protect them from injury fur giving a honest vot 9 ; and Equal Electoral Dir-tncts wou d prevent a small town having as much influence as a large one , as was the case at present . No Property Qualification was , that they might send any honest man they liked , whether he had money or nofet find Payment of Members would enable them to elect a working man if tbey chose . They must not remove one bristle from tlas . This would ba tbe time for an arilul man to truckle ; to turn round and join in astatine for some moderate measures . But be had
suffe : ed for them , and Dursed and nurtured them in tin principles of the Charter , and he would not abandon either if , or its name . ( Chesrs . ) If the people surrendered any portion , it would all be surrendered for them . The Charter was bis eldest son , and the . Land waa his daughter , and , although it was not legitimate , he h < p ? d to marry tk « ru sometime . Although , hia health was not good , thanks to the lunatics in the House ef Comm . ' > us , he ° came amongst thens ^ and would travel the length and breadth of t & a land ; from East to West , and from North to South , bifore they should ba dduJsd this tima . ( Otuern . ) If th « iy were honest , thoy would join tho pop ' . e , and , W not . they would shun them . They "rould t-j , as they did In ' 42 , to destroy tho red cat of Chartism . They said 'Let us set our press to put down Feargua O'Connor , and we shall break up their ranks . ' But he said , 'Ho ;* he would not abandon them .

If thf middle olospes were not prepared to irust the people ,
'be people were not prepared to trim to-, middle classes . S wiimd were coming . It was impossible to ssy what a month , it was impossible to fay "hat a fortnight , or even what a week , might brim ; forth . It was impossible t" sny what the Irish trial * wouM iff ct n < xt Mou « day . His opinion was , tbe Irish had rom « oppriSMon too long . ( Cheers . ) Whenever the Cbnr : iits were t red of him , there was a fiell open for tiiiv ; let thim cay that they were tired of him , and there was anolhtr place for him .

( L ^ ugfater . ™ They were afraid of joiniun Chartigm whin the mm were tokon from them , butuoiv tbey were beginning to have a desire to until the fresh air , imd live upon the land , they cams amongst the C . iartistj , Hd wished there was not a man there that night , bat that thoy were all « omrn . Lot the middle t'lati-s undiretond that , so long as he livvd , he would rather te a private in the Chartist runks , than n general in any ot ! er as a deser . cr . Let tbem understand th > t , while a'l other nations wt-re progressing , the noble army of Cnartists were not going to retrograde . Lst them understand that tbe peop e , coming into Leicester with their baskets on a Saturday , taking tho valuo of tbeir produce in goods , would be battir customers than the men In ft PoorL & w
bns . Ue . There mast bu failures in a treat cau ° e , but sucms was the inevitable result . Where were the man who would not raiherdie at once in the ranks of Freedom , than in tho ranks of Ooproi-tioti ? If he was asked whether he would prefer being found amongst the ranks of the slain of a people fighting for tbeir liberties , or living among' tbe rich oppressors , be should eho- Be to ba round amrngst the slain . ( Cue . re . ) He should watch the progress of the middle class movtment . If they marched onward , ho would go with ( him ; but if tbey lagged behind , be should kick tht m like a mule . It was for them he held thattrust ; aed for them ho would did * charge it ; and , as long as there * wai life in him , ho should stand by their liberties and the Charter ; end if thero were younger men than him , who were disposed to £ 0 a-hesd , he should go on with tbem . ( Mr O'Connor resumed bis seat , amidst 1 pud cheering )
Mr Bdckiit moved : — ' Tbat this meaing is cf opinion tbat the able and unfl nching advocacy of the people ' s rights by Feargus O'Connor , Esq , is deserving of tha aopport of ertry lover of freedom , and pledges itself , at all times , to give bim thtir hear-y support , ' Mr Beiduah seconded tho resolution , which was car * rl ( d unanimouBly . Mr Mabkbam gavo a detailed account ofthe attempts of tha Tory magistrates to prevent the procession , aad of the way in which tbey Ware defeated , and moved ;« . ' That this meeting tender their hearty ihaiiks to the mayor and Liberal magistrates , who resisted the Attempts of the Tories to put a stop to the meeting to-day . ' Mr Watts seconded tbo resolution , which was carried unanimously .
Mr O'Connos said , ; had seen two shows of singla hands—and he was now going to mora and second a resolution himself . All those who were detennimd to p-rscvere for the points of the Charter , and to preserve its same , would signify the same by holding Up both hands . ( This was responded to with great enthusiasm . ) He had another appeal to make to them . He hoped those who could support the Chartist cuuso by their contributions would do so . Let them not take any notice of him and any other parties squabbling a bit ; it would ooon be over , * nd all would be right upain . He had baen prosecuted for tiibe agitation , and had to qull his couotty for thirteen months , for favouring Whitsboyism . He had been tried in Ireland and in England nnd they must talse care how they wild him again . It mi ght bs hii turn to try thtm next . In the whole course of bis life he nevtr was so gratified as ho had been that day . When he saw them nith good order
and decorum ; when he saw women carrying their children in their arm » , with perfect tranquility ; every window full , o 3 all jojous—he tli .-ugnt there whs something life in England which government were not aware of . He saw no danger to property or to life in granting to th' > people wh ; it tbey were entitled to ; but he did see great danger in deferring tj give th ^ m what they were entitled to . The pt-opla nvght bo eoided too far . Let them notdiive the Irish lion toa far , R collect what tho Whl ^ s said when they struggled for the Reform Bill , whin they burnt Bristol , and Kottingham Castle— ' Taxation wiihout representation is tyranny and should be misted . ' Let them talk of physics ! force , flow pieple talked of pby . sical force . Let them marshal tho moral force of the country , that was tbe shadow , the substance was behind it . He concluded by proposing a vote of thanks to the chairman , which « a » seconded by Mr Culley , aud carried unr . i imouslr ,
