If Mr O'Connor ' s opinion bad been disapproved of by the Assembly , he ought to have been treated as a gentleman , hy being called on to defend that op inion . If be had committed an
error in judgment ( which we are inclined to question ) his lone-tried services as leader ot the movement ought to have induced tbe Assembly to have treated him with more courtesy and respect than it has thought fit to do . - ' That this meeting , having watched ' the conduct of F- argus 0 Connor , Esq ., M . P .. durim ; the long period he has been struggling for the rights and liberties of the labouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland , he is justly entitleo to occupv the position he has so proudly Ailed as lewder of " the democracy of Great Britain , and this meetina having the greatest confidence in his honour , integrity , and judgment , consider that he would not l ^ justified in resigning tbe trust reposed in him . at . the cal ! or bidding of any Assembly but

request the chairman of the said Assembly not to allow in future any friend , or friends of the People ' s Charter , to be aga ' in attacked during their absence ; and tbat we sincerely request tbe Assembly to draw up a practical and intellig ible plan for the speedy obtainment of the People ' s Charter . And he it further resolved , that we look upon the Xortkern Star as the harbinger of truth and freedom , and which ought to be supported by every lover of liberty throughout Europe ; and that the best , thanks of this meeting are hereby given to those gentlemen connected * vMi the Star establishment , or the noble and able stand made by them in defence of the people ' s rig hts , against misrule and oppression- And we finally avow our fixed determination not to give any more support to tbe

That assuming tbat they were
acting right in summoning 100 delegates , still , as liberty of thought and action is every man's right , Mr O'Connor is , by that rule , perfectly justified in refusing to recognise the Assembly , or to sit in it , if , by so doing , he rendered himself liable to legal results , most especially after the explanation he had g iven .

' ' 2 . That while we should hail
with p leasure the establishment of a newspaper , toco-operate with the Northern Star ; yet , if any one should establish a newspaper as a rival to overthrow the Star , we would do whatever lay in our power to burl such a paper into everlasting oblivion .

TO F . O CONNOR , ESO .., M P . Manchester , May 10 th , 18 t 8 .

The general wish seems to be that you should come and see us at your earliest convenience . Men who formerly looked upon you as a destructive , now say , that you have been grossl y calumniated by the press of this countrv , and you arc fast eaining friends among the
shopkeepir . g classes . Chartism is rapidly progressing —our numbers are greatly increasing ; men who formerly kept aloof from us now offer us the right hand of friendship , and we entertain no fear of the result . You have often witnessed the devotion to principle and the affection for yourself , as evinced by the Chartists of ibis city , but on your next coming we shall be prepared to give you , if possible , a greater proof of our attachment to your person , and our determination to be guided by your council , despite tbe denunciations of men , whese names we never heard till they had an opportunity of acting tbe part of dastards b y calumniating you in your absence .

When the seconder of the amendment had heard this , and other information , he withdrew his support ; and when the motion was put from the chair , an unanimous vote of confidence was awarded to yourself , in which I cordially agree . Thus , sir , though the press may be in ecstacies at the votes of censure attempted to be proposed , perhaps by designing men . yet , so far as the West Riding of Yorkshire goes , you have the unanimous vote of confidence from the delegates representing Leeds , Huddersfield , Bradford , Bingley , Bowling , Queenshead , Detvsbury , Keighley , Bradshaw-lan c , and Elland . I remain , respected sir , Yours , in the cause of the Charter , Wm . Lacy .

MANIFESTO OF THF , EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OP THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND TO THE PEOPLE . "All men are born equal . " " All men should be politically equal . " ' The will ofthe majority should be law . " " All lawa Bade by the majority should be law . " " All law made by the minoritv should be null and TO id ' . MANIFESTO OF THE EXECUTIVE
The National Assembly having been elected by Universal Suffrage , and admitted to be a fair representation of Chartist mind and opinion , have elected us provisionally to carry their will into practical effect , we feel it our duty to address the people in plain terms on their present position and future prospects ; we therefore appeal to you to practice conciliation to others , and charity among yourselves , in the expression of opinion , and to remember that knowledge and union are power .
Divide and conquer is the maxim of your enemies—union and strength are the requisites for the people . We have witnessed with feelings of regret , that the press has chuckled over the idea of imaginary division among- the true friends of the people , at a time when a weak { rorernment halted between concession to the popular will , and a morbid adhesion to a system more to be feared than Russian despotism . We call on all men who have the weal of their country at heart , to stand by the truth of the principles of the Charter , and rully around the standard of freedom . Remember your old
motto" ONWARD AND WE CONQUER ! BACKWARD AND WE FALL !*' Abstract principles , true in themselves , are lost to the present and future welfare of mankind , if practical steps be not taken to reduce firincip les of admitted worth to a working reaisation . Already you have signed numerous petitions , and the Imperial Parliament have laughed at your wrongs and insulted your miseries . You are many—your oppressors are few—union on your part is weakness to your enemies . England increases in wealth and misery ; annuitants , landowners , bankers and capitalists grow rich , and the labourers—who are the producers of all—starve and die of hunger and want .
The National Assembly are now about to present the People ' s Memorial to the Queen . We call on the people to support that expression of their will . The National Petition has been received with insult . We exhort you to strengthen the hands of the Assembly—your representatives , and of the Executive—your servants , on this momentous occasion . Display tbe undivided power of your cooperation and organisation ; let not faction shield itself under the idea of a partial support . This Memorial is the People ' s Will— -let the people be prepared to avow it as such .
Ihe National Assembly—your veritable representatives—have agreed to a Plan of Organisation , at once correct in principle and efficient in detail , and wait for the support of the good men and true of England , Scotland , and Ireland . Grant us but your aid , and the long and protracted agitation for political rights will be brought to a close , our country take its place among the free nations of Europe , and an acknowledgment of the rights of man be the standing motto of national greatness , and the permanent security of the State .
We address you as tbe Provisional Committee , elected by the National Assembly , sub . ject to your will , and waiting for your approval and oupport . The "Liberty Fund "—a proposition to raise by voluntary subscription the sum of ten thousand pounds—will , itself , be a practical test of your sincerity . Give us but the means , and the end is sure . The harvest depends on the seed-time , and the ultimatum of the people ' s hopes on their self-sacrifice and devotion to the great cause of human right . We acknowledge no power bnt to the people—we owe no allegiance but to the people ; we are their servants—they , our masters .
Be united , and will to be free . A nation ' s voice must rule . Support your friends in the hour of trial . Remember the glorious watchword of your French neighbours , " Vox populi , vox Dei . "— " The voice of the people is the voice of God I' ' Up , then , fellow countrymen—to your duty Organise , organise , organise ! Enrol , enrol , enrol ! Let us have one million of men , organised according to our plan , and we shall proclaim the Charter ! Yours , in the cause of Chartism and Fraternity , P . M . M DOUrVLL .
