To The Enslaved And Impoverished Million...
TO THE ENSLAVED AND IMPOVERISHED MILLIONS . Mr Fiuesds , —Now is the time "for your order to develops its energy , while those parties who have so long lived upon your disunion are straggling for power . You see that , upon Tuesday night last , the Ministers were again heaten . " I was not in the House of Commons trhen the division took place , because I was in a better house—in a house at 'Whitechapelwhere I addressed the working classes ; and , however it may be difficult for Lord Siaslet or
lord Aberdeen to form an Administration , it wM be as difficult for Lord John Russell to preserve office . You see the state of the Irish mind now ; and in order that you may thoroughly understand the feeling of the Irish peop le for Lord'John : Russell , let me give you the following extract from the Dail y News of Monday last ; and from it ' you will learn the feelings of tha Irish people , - and the power that the Liberator ' s son now possesses over ibe Irish mind . Here it is : —
The outcry against the Irish liberal members who voted for the ministry on Mr . Disraeli ' s motion still continues , and in some cases all explanations have failed to propitiate the constituencies . None of the members , however , have been so unfortunate in this respect as Sir . J . 0 'Council . A special meeting of the Limerick corporation was held on Saturday , when , after a very warm discussion , a S ' solution condemnatory of Mr . 0 'ConneIPs connet was . passed by a majority of eighteen , to ieleven ; and a second resolution . was then adopted , calling on the hon . gentleman to" resign his seat .. The corporators who voted against the' hon .:
meraher were a short time since bis warmest snpporters , and large subscribers to the fund collected to enable him to retain his seat . But this is not all ; the Roman Catholic mayor of Clonmell has addressed a familiar epistle to the member for Lime nek , in the course of which the lash is administered after this fashion : — "It would be more than hypocrisy to hide the fact that your recent indecision on Disraeli ' s motion has , and will for ever , stamp you as an unfit man to lead in any popular measure . Your excuse for non-attendance upon the division , which would and ought for ever to shut out from power that traitor to public honour , Lord John Russell , proves you , your brother and cousin , unworthy of the confidence of the Irish people . 1 deeply lament that the sons of the immortal O'ConhimThe funds
nell should prove sc unworthy of . of the association , you state , have utterly failed . "What other result could you expect ? Are the people altogether so blinded as to contribute to the sustainmentof an institution , the leader of which has by his recent conduct forfeited the confidence and respect of every honest political maul It is hypocritical on your part to appeal to the public for support , well knowing that you deserve discouragement rather than support . With you rests the Tcsponsibility of its fall , not only for the reasons before-mentioned , bat also , because upon every occasion when the expressions of opinion by persons differing from your own were uttered , you , with superciliousness and arbitrary overbearing , drove them in disgust from the association . "
My friends , I do not think that I could give you a stronger definition of the Catholic feeling than yon will learn from the above extract ; and again let me remind yon of Phi ' s old maxhtt , that "Ireland is England ' s greatest difficulty . " On Wednesday last a meeting of Catholics , to the amount of three or four thousand , took place in Liverpool , for the purpose of developing the Catholic mind ; and perhaps that meeting may be published in the Northern Star . You are aware that I warned you , when the Papal question commenced , to rest upon your oars , and not to offer any opposition to your fellow Catholic brethren ; and I very much rejoice to find that the English Chartists have followed my discreet advice .
Ob , dear me , if a Chartist Conference was now sitting in London , what a powerful effect it would have upon the Governmental mind ; but I am in hopes that the Governmental struggle will not havo terminated even when the Conference does sit . I have attended two meetings this week in London—one at the Hall of Science , City-road , on Monday , and the oilier at the " Ship , " High-street , Whitechapel , on Tuesday ; and it gave me no small pleasure to find that the London men are now becoming energetic ; those who attended the meetings were principally shoemakers , tailors , and weavers , and , as I have frequently told you , their class are the best Chartists .
You see that Sir Geobgb Obey has declared that the two most important clauses in the Papal Bill are to be expunged , and Mr . DfiUMMOSD has given notice that he will move that they be preserved . This debate comes on again on Friday night , and then yon will see another tussle in the House of Commons . As a good thing cannot be said too often , let me once more implore of you to club your pence and your minds together for the forthcoming Conference , and to elect wise and discreet men to represent yon . I do trust that the delegates coming from the different provinces will not , when the Conference sits in London , be led away by any strife for leadership , hut that they will make principle and yolitics , and not men , their maxim .
On Sunday night next I shall have the pleasureof addressing the men of Manchester ; and I oal y wish that the Chartists in all other towns were as prepared to straggle for their political and social rights as the men of Manchester are—and then you would have "HIGH WAGES , CHEAP BREAD , AM ) plenty TO DO . " Then every man would he able to cultivate his own land ; and , notwithstanding the abuse to which my Land Plan has been subjected , let me give you the clearest definition of the value of land , when men have an interest in cultivating it . I will furnish you with a letter which I received from one of the unloeated members , forwarded with a petition . Here it is : —
TO F . 0 COSSOB , ESQ ., M . P . Sib , —Four shareholders have taken five acres of land at Chatmoss , built their houses and reclaimed the bos , and they would not sell their holdings for £ 30 more than its original cost . They pay their teat in advance— £ 2 2 s . 6 d . per acre . I saw a pers on on Sunday who rents three acres of land on the edge of the bog , and a house , for whien he pays £ 20 per year to Sir Thomas Trafford . I shall psst a petition tonight from the Land members of ¦ Mel es and its vicinity , signed by thirty-four share ' toners . Yours , & c ., Eecles , March 6 th , 1851 . W . Gregory .
Prom the above the reader will learn , that a man pays £ 20 a year for a bog and a small house , the very samerent that a located member , without a house , would pay for TWELVE ACRES AND A HALF OF LAND , costing FORTY POUNDS per acre . Now does fiot this prove to you the difference between a man r enting land from a landlord , and a man "gibing to plunder the poor , to whom the law
W « H render no protection ? I trust that you ^ l read the letter from Exeter , relative to j k conduct of that rascal O'Bbieit , who has p d the land and the school house at Low"jujus , for three years , and paid no rent ¦ Howev er , asitistotheLandalonethatllook ^ the only means of elevating your order , ^ en the Company is wound-tip I shall go on *«« another Land * Plan , which will be based * ao % in confident ^ myself .
1 do trust that the several delegates who a ? e elected for the ensuing Conference , will repetitions from theirseveral districts , to ^ Presented to House of Commons for the ^ URiE R . and that they will not be jj Wi as the petition in 1848 was signed—by ^ and foolish names , which I havenodonht ^ s done by order © f the Government ; howno er * ^ pe that no sach trick will be played - w ; And in conclusion , let me once more pore ofyou to place no confidence in any * y « ttr own class ! * ° Ur Faithful and Uncompromising Friend and Advocate , Feabgus O'Connob .

Polish A2sd Hungarian Refugees. A Public...
POLISH A 2 sD HUNGARIAN REFUGEES . A public meeting was held on Monday evening , at the Hall of Science , Gity-rba'd , to hear a lecture from Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., on " The House of Commons ; its objects and present position . " The proceeds to he devoted to the Refugees . About eight o ' clock , the place being well filled , ' Mr . Holmes was called to the chaii % and in an excellent speech detailed tee Objects of the meeting , and gave bis reasons why the cause Of the Poles had not been taken up in the manner it should , have been by the trades of London . It was not so much the fault of the trades , as of the officers of their society . The shoemakers—one of the wurstpaid trades—were the foremost in the struggle for political liberty ,
and their exertions would , id future times , be recorded in the page -of history . He- was happy to know that a better spirit began to pervade , the young men of their trades , and that they would ere long shake off the domination of the trades oligarchy , in a similar manner as they would shake off the tyranny of the Whig and Tory factions . _ If the working men in their trades , were but united among themselves . and were to demand the Charter ^ it would be soon'dbfeuned . ( Cfieers . ) j ( i ^^^ S ^ •^' -Viu'Q' ( tei « d ^ wfid ^ r ^ ing-wan ^^ : M ^ nUi loud cheers—commenced by stating tKSn ^ hewas to attempt for one month to give them a ( definition of the state of parties , he could not do it better than it had been defined by their chairman , relative to
the position Of the trades . The man who earned £ 2 a week looked down . with contempt upon the man who earned £ 1 , and he again upon the man who earned but ten shillings . So long as that antagonism existed , so long would they be slaves to the classes above them . If the people were but united among themselves—if they would but work for one month as energetic as he had worked for many years , they would have the Charter at once , and then there need not be a pauper or a criminal in the country . They need not even have a house dog to guard their property . He was to define to them the position of parties in the House of Commons . Formerly all the Irish Catholic members voted with Lord John Russell , let the subject be what it might . While Sir Robert Peel was alive the Peelitcs also
supported the Whig government . But now the whole of the Catholic members would vote against Lord John . Ono half oi the Peelite party had also deserted him . Lord John and his colleagues only remained in office for the purpose of retaining their salaries . If they received £ 5 , 000 a year as Whigs , they would be Tories to-morrow for £ 5 , 500 . He did not blame Lord John , he did not blame the government , he blamed the people ; the fault Jay entirely with themselves . ( Cheers . ) He bad come there that night to rouse the mind of the English people . He intended to go to Manchester on a similar errand . Before one month had elapsed , they would see such a convulsion in the House of Commons has had never before been seen . Russell , foreseeing the
storm , offered to abandon the two penal clauses in the Papal Aggression Bill , but the Irish . members laughed at such a concession . Last week a petition had been presented to the house signed by four Catholic Archbishops , and twenty-four Bishops , these represented the whole mind of Ireland . The people of Ireland were devoted in their attachment to their priests and their religion . They would die , if necessary , at their priest ' s command , in its defence . Did they blame the people of Ireland ? Their religion was a persecuted one , and consequently endeared to them . Henry Vlll bad put the people of England to bed Catholics , and they woke in the morning Protestants , because the Pope would not grant him a dispensation to commit adultery . Ee wished every man to worship God according to tha dictates of his own conscience
and not for a Catholic or Presbyterian to he compelled to pay for a Protestant parson . If the people were united Lord John would grant them the Charter , and ask what more they needed . He told the bouse in his explanations that he bad drawn oat the outline of a plan tor a considerable reduction in the qualification for the suffrage , but that , in accordance with the wish of his colleagues , he had deferred introducing it until the next session . They only needed the mind of the country tulle brought unitedly to bear upon that subject , to force Lord John to produce it at an earlier date . In the limes of that day they wonld see that John and Maurice O'Council had been called upon to resign , for not voting against the government . This showed the strength of the popular mind in Ire * land . If Daniel O'Connell had acted an honest
part , both England and Ireland might now have been free and prosperous countries ; but he cared not what became of the people so long as he could raise his £ 20 , 000 a yearfrom their Credulity . Like other Irishmen , whea he first came to this country he was strongly prejudiced against the English people ; but be soon discovered that it was not the people of England but their government which was opposed to the Irish nation . If Lord John was not put out of office in less than a month he would propose a measure something like the Charter . But at all events he ( Mr . O'Connor ) would bring forward bis motion for tho Charter entire , even if he stood alone . He calculated upon having more supporters to his motion than on a former occasion ,
unless the house was again counted out . Some professing liberals might support bim , now wishing to cater for popularity against the coming election . No government was ever in such a situation as this government would be in at the time of the Exhibition in May . They were building seventeen first class steamers in America , each to bring 2 , 000 passengers to this country ; many of these would consist of Irishmen deeply wrongrd by the government of this country , and consequently embittered against it . He wanted to develope the mind of this country , so that they might not appear a set of nincompoops before the assembled foreigners . In France a man was a soldier for only a few years , but he was drilled for life . In England it was
not ao ; and government based their oppression upon a knowledge of the tameness and sopineness of the people . They were to have a Conference on the 31 st of March ; he approved of that step ; but the Conference ought to have been sitting ; it would have been a greater blow to Lord John than all the tactics of Disraeli and his followers . If it had been held during the Exhibition , or in July , it could have bad no weight with parliament . He warned them to elect good and true men to that Conference , not mere popularity hunters . In 1839 they elected a Conference , and being too well paid for their services they deserted the cause of the people . Let them elect good and honest men—men who were not watching to profit
by the movement , but willing to sacrificeevery thing to their duty . Mr . O ' Connor then alluded to the Hungarian struggle , and read a letter in the Daily News , from Havnau , on the affairs of Hesse Cassel , well worthy the reputation attained by his infamous relative , of Barclay and Perkins notoriety . He felt for these Refugees , for be and Ms family were also Refugees , driven from their own land and all associations dear to them . He had sacrificed Ms all iu struggling for the people ; but , he wonld rather live humbly , and not see a pauper around bim , than live in luxury and see his fellow men pining in want . Mr . O'Connor then , in a witty manner , showed how all classes lived upon the produce of the People ' s labour , which was
the only source of wealth , yet , the people were oppressed and despised , whilst the idlers were honoured , and lived in luxury and ease . There were not six honest men in the House of Commons . There were admirals , and colonels , and captains , and sons of peers , and lawyers , merchants , and bankers , butuoce who cared one iota for the interests of the people they professed to represent . Was it not enough to make a man ' s blood run cold , to see the manner in which the working classes were treated ? They were arrant rascals , to sea their wives and children suffering such misery and destitution . He did not believe they could have any real love for them , or they would never submit to such treatment . He wished they all felt it as he did , they would then rise as one man against it . ( Land cheers . ) He had received a letter from a lady at Sheffield ; inviting him to attend a meeting of females in that town . He wished to see women
and children present at all the meetings he attended . Women possessed more feeling and enthusiasm than men . It was horrible to see how women were compelled to work in the manufacturing districts , whilst the men were compelled to remain idle , living upon their wives and children's earnings , and often spending these earnings in liquor , orhill ' grief , as it was called , thus endeavouring to drown their shame . ( A voice , " Free Trade demands it . " ) He was for Free Trade , but he wanted free trade in votes , free trade in legislation , and , not alone , free trade in human labour . ( Cheers . ) Mr O'Connor then dwelt npoa the capability of the soil to support in comfort the people of these islands , and compared the population , per square mile , oi England and some other countries . Mr O'Connor concluded an able address , delivered with moretban hiausual energy , and which was Sly applauded , bycalhng open them *?»* g amongst themselves , and the government ^ would b * unablftoresist their claims . Be implored item

not to countenance any : antagonism among their leaders . To follow those only who proved themselves worthy of their confidence , and , above all , to look for nothing from parliament but what their unity and determination could force from its grasp . He concluded by making a feeling appeal for the Refugees , ( which ended in a collection of thirty-six shillings being received , ) and sat down amid loud cheers . Mr . Bobxs , a member of the Ladisa Shoemakers ' Society , said it gave him great pleasure , as a member of a trade society , to move a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Connor , for his services on that occa sion , and for his past exertions in the people ' s cause . His trade was a badlv naid body of men . They had
tried in vain to better their condition by strikes , but had at length become convinced that no remedy short of universal suffrage would prove successful . Mr . Burns then showed the manner in which-the binders , and other women employed in their trade , were treated . Equal suffering was endured by them , and equal oppression manifested towards them , as there was to tho . female factory operative ' s ; They had houses in their , trade , who were , atinualifc importing . men from Germany . . . The . better paid portion of . the . trade wefecr ^ ' suikmgint ^ the com-^ tew ^^ heyrfe ^ trle'd vtKe' ^ bW ^ s leni long enbugh ;^ either the land nor co-operation were sufficient without political power , and his' trade had , therefore , determined to come out for the Charter . ( Cheers . ) / ""'' . " . Mr , Ferris , " of the Society of Progressive Carpenters , seconded the vote of thanks , which was carried amid laud applause .
Mr . O ' Connor , on retiring , said that it gave him great pleasure to hear that the shoemakers were determined to come out for the Charter . It was a question of paramount importance to tbetrades . Dixon , of Carlisle , who employed 2 , 000 hands , could make a saving of £ 10 , 400 a year by only reducing the wages of his men twopence a day . He should continue to struggle for them against all opposition , both in and out of the house , and never would rest until he had obtained the Charter . Mr . O'Connor then drew their attention to a benefit at Astley ' s Theatre , on Monday , March 17 th , for the Poles , and he trusted they would attend . * At a later stage of the proceedings , it was carried , by » unanimous vole of the meeting , that Mr . O'Connor should be invited to attend and occupy the Queen ' s box on that occasion , in company with the wives of the Committee , who had got up the benefit .
Mr . Tuomas Brown , on behalf of the Polish Hungarian Refugees , read an address from those men to the Metropolitan Trades , more especially to the Ladies City Shoemakers , for the sympathy and support they had received from them . The address also spoke highly of the kindness and sympathy shown to them in Turkey and Switzerland . Mr . Brown , in an energetic manner , showed the claims these men had upon their justice and generosity . The middle classes professed great sympathy for the cause of Hungary ; but they would have left these men to starve , if they had not been supported by the hard-earned pence of the working men . Mr . Brown called upon them not to allow the Refugees
lately landed at Liverpool to be driven to America The government dreaded to have these gallant men in England ; and for that \ ery reason the people should determine to retain them here . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Brown then paid a high compliment to Mr . O'Connor , and , on behalf of the Refugees , gave their thanks to that gentleman , and to all who had assisted them in their distress . Mr . Osborne moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and alluded to the forthcoming Convention , He trusted that none but really workingmen would be elected . If this was done , they would soon get rid of that antagonism which both Mr . O'Connor and themselves deplored .
Mr . Burns seconded the motion , and in allusion to the address voted , said they should have it framed and kept as a memento . It had been industriously circulated that there had been a difference between tbeir Committee and the Refugees . He took that occasion publicly to deny the truth of that report ; the greatest harmony existed between them . Mr . Bur as then announced that an East End Ladie ^ - ^ howcabers Locality would be opened on Sunday evening at the Rising Sun , Calenderyard , Long-alley , andthatMr . Fussell would attend and lecture . A vote of thanks was given to Mr . Bendell , for giving the Refugees the use of the Hall of Science gratuitously on this occasion ; and the Trades' Committee recommend their brother unionists to attend that excellent institution on % Sunday evening .
The meeting then dissolved . Duringthe evening a variety of Polish , French , Italian , and English songs were given by the Refugees and their friends .

The following address was presented to Feabgtjs O'Connor , Esq ., at the meeting held at the " Ship , " on Tuesday night last : — Tho Polish and Hungarian Refugees tender their thanks to citizen Feargus O'Connor , for the interest he has taken , and the fraternal sympathy he has evinced towards them on all occasions . Strangers in England , expelled from the hospitable cantons of Switzerland and France , by the persecutions of the northern despots , aided by the supinencss of other nations , they found a temporary refuge on the English shores , where they have , in many instances , received great sympathy from the operatives of this land , to those who have given the hand of fraternity . They salute them as brothers , for they
gave them their friendship as persecution became stronger ; fur even in this country they have had to contend with the machinations of the enemy , and many good disposed persons lent their aid , they believe , unknowingly , best aided by other other friends , of which you , sir , stand the moat prominent . They have succeeded in having a temporary Stay in this , where they hope are long to be in a position to have occupation , which will enable them , when opportunity affords , of again wielding the sword for home and fatherland . Doubly dear to the exile in his banishment , thanking you again and again , we salute you in the bonds of fraternity ; may you live to gain the objects you desire—the emancipation of the people .

v MEETING IN LIVERPOOL ON BEHALF OF THE POLISH REFUGEES . On Monday night a meeting , which was very numerously attended , was held in the Concert Hall , Lord Nelson-street , to take into consideration the propriety of memoralising government in behalf of tho Polish and Hungarian Refugees lately arrived in Liverpool from Constantinople . Mr . Francis Boult was called upon to take the chair . Mr . Linton said he addressed the meeting on that occasion at the request of his unfortunate fellowcountrymen , by whom he was authorised to clear away certain false impressions which had gone abroad . It was said that before these men left
Constantinople , they agreed with Sir S . Canning the English ambassador , that on their arrival at Liver pool they were immediately to proceed to America . Now he could deny this , lie would first ask them whether , if the Refugees wished to go to America , they could not have gone direct from Constantinople ? He did not believe it was usual for vessels leaving Constantinople for America to touch at Liverpool . ( Hear , hear . ) He then read a declaration of the Refugees , expressing their desire to remain in England , and concluded by urging them to act as Englishmen had always acted towards brave men . ( Cheers ) moved
Mr . Shepherd , in a very animated speech , the first resolution : — " That this meeting expresses its warmest sympathy for the Polish and Hungarian Refugees , flho have lust reached Liverpool from Constantinople ; and understanding that it is their desire and intention to remain in England , to endeavour to obtain employment here , till such time as they may find opportunity to serve that country , this meeting urgently recommend that committees he formed in Liverpool and throughout the country to assist them in gaining employment ; and also to help their friends in supporting them till they shall be able to maintain themselves . " Mr . Wihjams seconded the resolution . _ .
Mr . Taviob moved an amendment , to the effect that a subscription be set on foot to enable them to proceed to America . ( Loud hissing , and cries of " Turn him out . " ) A gentleman in the gallery , who gave his name O'Haba , seconded the amendment , which was put and negatived , and the original resolution was carried by acclamation . . A vote of thanks was accorded to the Chairman , and the proceedings terminated shortly after halfpast ten o ' clock .

In-cthe crowdeu cities of this , country , said Mr . Rushton , many of our own people find it difficult to obtain oven the means of supporting life ; and in their ( the Refugees ') case , the difficulty would be augmented by their ignorance of the language of the country . He knew that his countrymen would cheerfully . give them employment if they had' the , means , but they had not ; therefore he had to state that those who were disposed to go to the United States should havo all proper conveniences provided , and substantial vessels , that had been inspected by government
officers , would be secured for the voyage . He was proceeding to contrast the advantages of proceeding to America , where they would , be within twelve days' voyage of their own country , und , by becoming independent , be at any time able to aid her with strong minds and bodies , whereas , by remaining in England they would be broken down in spirit and steeped in penury , but as each successive sentence was translated , it was met by murmurs and hisses . With these feelings , he had closed his duty , and would only add , that there was no authority to ; continue . the expense . of their subsistence , after to night , in the event of their persisting in remaining in this country ,- on the other hand , they would have ample means of landing in New York , and of subsisting themselves until proper inquiries were made and employment found for them .
The Refugees were next addressed by Mr . E . Bsals , from London , to the same effect . The meeting , was afterwards addressed by two of the Poles , who spoke on behalf of the whole body . They stated ,. that , having maturely considered the matter , they had determined to remain in England , and entered into a series of statements in support of tbeir argument . ; ' ¦

Arnott , Holyoake , Hunt , Milne and Reynolds . Messrs . Grass by , Harney , Jones and O'Connor were absent through-unavoidable engagements—John Milne was called to the chair . Correspondence was read from Bamstey , Chepstow , Darlington , Edinburgh , Limtbouse , Torquay , and Worcester , remitting monies ; from Holmfirtb , disapproving , and from Iluddersfield , approving of the Convention Fund ; -also from Arnold , Devoriport , and . Glasgow , announcing the formation of four new localities ; and from Clitheroe and LandporL on general business .
It was then unanimously agreed : — " That a subcommittee , consisting of Messrs . Arnott , Harney , Holyoake , Hunt and Jones ^ he appointed to prepare the necessaryplansto ^ UBrsuhmitted tb ' tritfConference in furtherance . of the objects as proposed'in the programme of business . " , On the motion of Messrs . Holyoake and Arnott , the following was unanimously adopted : — " We , the Executive Committee , in recommending tiiat the expenses of the delegates to the National Convention be paid from a general Convention Fund , considered that the said fund was based on a truly democratic principle , but several districts having dissented therefrom , and believing that the expressed opinions of the people should be paramount on all question of this character ;
we , therefore , advise that all delegates to the said Convention be paid by their constituents ; at the same time we entreat that no delegates be elected unless those who elect them are determined to support them .

several weeks past to the proceedings of a portion 1 of the Executive Committee , who are acting as if they were elected for no other purpose than to scan every act , and canvass every word that proceeds from Mr . O'Connor . We have always , considered that the duty of that bod y was , to endeavour to organise and forward , by every means . in their power , the movement of which they are the head ; and that this should form part of their duty we have no doubt . They deplore the disoagauhsed state of , the Chartist body , and seem to . forget that there is a better mode of creating jfc than in encouraging a rancourous and hostile s ^ ieit towards one of . their members—one of t » te awst untiring and disinterested advocates of . © no cause—one who is ever at his post in season , aad out of season—eae who baa

After the usual business was transacted the subject of sending a delegate to London was taken up , and after considerable discussion , the secretary was instructed to state , that in consequence of the difference which exists at Head Quarters , they cannot think of taking any steps towards sending a delegate , believing that , so long as the same spirit prevails which is at present manifested by nearly the whole of the present Executive Committee , to hold the Conference would injure the cause of Chartism instead of forwarding it . Therefore deeply lamenting the difference which has taken place , they are determined not to countenance it , but content themselves with doing all they can in their own locality to advance their cause , and hope that the whole Chartist body will snon see the necessity of more united action .
Manchester , —A lecture was delivered on Sunday MarchOtb , 1851 , in the People's Institute ; the hall was decorated by the sailors ( who are in Manchester on strike , ) with banners of various devices , and models of various ships named and mounted with a small cannon , which gave the ha \ l a very impressive appearance .

every sailor not attending divine service on Sundays should be fined one day ' s pay .

THE LAND AM ) TUB " DUPED" LAND MEMBERS . TO THK EniTOB . OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sin , —A letter , copied from the Leeds Times , in last week ' s Star , and written by John Bradshaw , ono of the late occupants at Charterville , claims from me , as one of the allottees , a few remarks ; and , to use the words of the said John Bradshaw , " 1 think , in justice to myself and the other members of the Land Company , that it would be criminal in me if I were to bo silent on the present occasion . " In December , 1840 , 1 was successful in the ballot for a four-acre allotment ; and in March , 1848 , I took possession of a four-acre farm at Minster , according to the rules of the Company .
Ibavc now been in possession of the same for three years , and , I can truly say , that I have never been treated otherwise than with the greatest respect , by Mr . O'Connor and all the other Directors ; and of this I feel fully satisfied , that if a straightforward , honest , and manly course had been adopted by all the occupants towards Mr . O'Connor ( who , by the bye , deserves the gratitude of every working man in Britain for his exertions on their behalf ) , that , at the present moment , instead of being "Paradise Lost , " it would have bceu " Paradise Regained" to many , who are now reaping the just reward of their own neglect , improvidence , and dishonesty .
I wish not to name : my one individual allottee of Charterville in particular ; but this I will say , without fear of contradiction , that there were menaye , and women , too—located on this estate , who wero a disgrace to civilised society . Yes , Mr . Editor , I almost blush for the name of Chartism , when 1 hear of men , professing principles which I hold dear , abusing and traducing the great champion of our holy cause—one who has ever stood up for the poor . man ' s rights , but who has suffered a martyrdom at the hands of the very men he sought to benefit . Oh' . Sir , when I think of it sometimes , it almost makes my heart bleed , for it is , indeed , base , black ingratitude . " -John Bvadshaw-is-welHware that ' it wasi against the rule . tO : allow . > auy / pcrsonrwho-took an ailofc ? tnent from another , the aid money ; and I do not believe that any one , not being a successful allottee , ever received it . As for the distress that is said to have existed
at O Connorvule among the occupants , I fully admit the truth of the report ; but 1 would ask , if it is anything fresh to find distress , indigence , want , and misery , follow in the train ofidleness , drunkenness , and debauchery ? And I now make another assertion , which I know cannot be disproved : that if no lover of intoxicating drinks bad entered Charterville , we should not have had so much scandalous abuse of Feargus O'Connor . So fully am I satisfied of the capabilities cf the land at Charterville , that , in addition to the four acres I formerly held , I have four more acres adjoining—making a farm of eight acres , which I have
purchased for £ 500—on which I have planted upwards of 4 , 000 plum , currant , and gooseberrytrees . I have also about half an acre of asparagus bods ; and , in addition to wheat , & c , I intend this year to plant six acres of potatoes ; and if any of the doubtful ones , who dispute everything they don ' t sec , will call at Xo . 2 , Upper Crescent , Charterville , Minster Lovel , in tho month of May next , they will see a sight not to bo surpassed at the Great Exhibition itself—a sight that they will be compelled to admit is not " Pavadiao Lost , " at least as far as James Price is concerned ; and this beautiful spot be would never have been "duped " into had it not been for Feargue O'Connor .
It may be said I had money , or I could not have done it—I admit it—but I have been sober and industrious ; I was a teetotaller ei » ht years before I became an occupant at Charterville , and hope to live and die an enemy to the drinking customs cf my fellow working men . I had intended to say more , for , if necessary , "I could a tale unfold , " but , for the present , I forbear trespassing further on your valuable space , And remain your humble servant , James Price .

THE HONESTY FUND . TO FEARGUS o ' COHNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sin , —Although I am now in a distant clime , yet I feci great interest in the land of my birth . My friends in the old country aend me an odd newspaper now and then , and sometimes the Northern star , in which I am particularly interested , as I was a reader and subscriber to it for several years . On reading the Northern Star of the 30 th November , 1850 , I was sorry to learn that tho tyrants had been hard at work , endeavouring to " Ruin you with expenses , " and that you had appealed to tho people to aid you in your struggle against the common foe . My heart responded to the call , for I feel grateful to such men as yourself , who
take an active part in endeavouring to better the condition of the working man ; and , I thought that if I could not give money , I could give money ' s worth . Being a member of tho Land Company , I thought if you would accept of my interest in the National Land Company , I would transmit to you my certificate , and you might appropriate what dividend came to my share to your own benefit . I here enclose my certificate of three shares in the National Land Company , value £ 3 18 a . —use it against the tyrants . I hope the working classes of England will prove themselves worthy of your support . Your devoted admirer , February 2 nd , 1851 . Jons Southern . .
