      TO THE CHAETiSTS . jfr FRiESPS , — j ^ t week I was only able to give you a t jjef account of my tour , and the state in w fuch I found the worlang-class mind , now T can g iTe you a more detailed narrative . X confess , that since IJM 8 , when the most Solent rascals became informers against the jnost enthusiastic men , who were deluded by

      jjjar promises and professions , but subsequently persecuted by their treachery and perjory , that I felt greatamaety , and entertained some doubt as to the possibility of again reviving the GOOD OLD CAUSE ; and I have ftojuently told you , nothing is , or can be , more foolish than the vain attempt to rouse the £ har & t mind when the people are either inert , suspicious , or apathetic , and nothing is more requisite than sound and discreet judgment at snch a period .

      The man who undertakes to build hishouse before the materials are prepared is a fool , and must fail , and the leader who undertakes to develope the power of the national mind when it is sluggish , is an ass or a politicaltrafficker . 3 ? rom my recent tour , I have sot only derived knowledge , but also great pleasure . I discovered that the principles of the Charter were better understood , and I also discovered that there was that sterling value in the veritable ¦ fforking-class mind which is capable of upholding , defending , and sustaining the character of their friends gainst the prejudice , the trickery , slander an & irsffic , of their enemies' a fact which has inspired me with no small « monnt of hope .

      It would appear as . if Providence was watching over the holy cause of Chartism " , I will tell you why . Became ^ i are now awe * great cto j ^ , andj ^ e tj . hwfetmmd was inert and sluggi ^ "IacS & is ^ BffmaCfe ^ what class—would base thefc power upon ; , our presumed apathy ; whereas , if we are active and energetic , their acts may be framed in accordance with our power .

      "When times are quiet , and all appears satisfactory , no newspaper , whether daily or Sunday , will condescend to notice our party ; while , when the struggle between contending factions commences , then the Press represents the people as all-powerful , and the mirror of € ach faction foreshadows the great benefits that the people are likel y to achieve from the ascendancy of their respective parties .

      My friends , the time is now coming , and is not far distant , when tins country will witness a great and important change—greater and more important than Catholic Emancipation , Reform , or Free Trade—yea , greater than all unitedly . The "Whi gs have suffered a defeat in the Lords , upon which the Protectionists base their chance of exchanging places . Well , now , let me ask you , as shrewd and intelligent men , if it would be possible for the most fanciful or whimsical juggler , to propound or exhibit a greater absurdity than the fact * that a change in the system or the constitution by which this country is governed , should be based upon the patty feeling and animosity of HEREDITARY NINCOMPOOPS ?

      Just lay down the paper , and reflect for a moment upon this absurdity . I will not measure it nor argue it upon Chartist principles ; out I will argue it upon the silly presumption that all parties are perfectly satisfied with the present electoral system , while not an elector in England , Ireland , Scotland , or "Wales , is represented by the Lords , who have the power of changing Ministers and rejecting measures , ^ carried by a majority of those representing the electoral body . Now , my friends , it is for this coming change which is foreshadowed in the distance , that I wish to prepare you . I wish to have my materials in readiness before I undertake to erect your edifice ; and then , as your ac-. knowleged architect , I undertake to say , that a stone shall not be misplaced .

      On Tuesday last I was to have submitted my motion for the Charter , but »« eeing thenn- j possibility of bringing it forward , so many standing before me in the order book , I took the opportunity of the earliest open day , and I bring it forward on Thursday , the llth of July , when only one motion—and which will not occupy much time—has precedence of mine . I will not ask you for a single petition , because you may as well send so much rubbish to the House , but I will promise to develope tout principles boldly and fearlessly .

      Let me now g ive you a fair instance of the impartiality of the Press . On Monday night last , I pnt a very long , a very pertinent , and important question to Sir Geobge Geey , relative to the winding up of the Land Company . I stated my anxiety to render every facility , if the Government offered no obstruction , and , although questions pnt to a Minister are usually reported by the pressed especiaUy questions which have reference to the Land Company—yet , the DaUy Neivs , the organ of the FREEHOLD SOCIETIES , and of the PARLIAMENTARY

      REFORMERS , gave but avery meagre report of either question or answer ; while the Times and other papers reported both fairly . From this feet the reader will be able to draw a fair conclusion of the virtue and the principle of the PARLIAMENTARY REFORMERS . I offered no opposition to that party , because it afforded us the opportunity of propounding our princip les before an ignorant class : it afforded the working class an opportunity of

      enlightening the minds of their ignorant antagonists , who furnished us with places of Iceetino- that we otherwise could not procure . I felt convinced , that in the long run they would be compelled to abandon their prmciples and adopt ours , or to leave the field of . agitation , and I thought it much more wise and judicious to give them , rope enough than to tam , hangman myself ; and I think you will sav that mv course was a judicious one , when

      I tell you thatthey have died a natural deatn . I hare been invited , by the men of Tod--morden , to attend an outdoor meeting at Blacfastone Edge , on Sunday , - the Htfii ot . July ; and , believing in the old maxim , lne better day the better deed , " '¦ I will make one of the congregation , and join tbemm the waver THAT THE LABOURER IhOTJIID BE THE FffiST PARTAKER OF THE FRUITS OF HIS OlfN INDUSTRY . I will preach them a sermon , and my text shah * be— " More p igs and less parsons , " ' . "God cave us land , and fishes likewise , Tyrants took them from us , d—ntheireyea . And then I will make a tour of the Empire ;

      and I witt prove to the toilling millions mat the slander of professing friend or open foe , that the power of the Gvoernment , or the terror of the law , can never eradicate from my breast the love and affection that I entertain for your order . I am not one easily diverted from my course—I am not one who would abandon your principles or my own for the world ' s wealth ; but I am one , who , like my ancestor of yore , would rather be burned at the stake than abandon those principles , by the adoption of which , I believe your order will be elevated to their proper and legitimate

      ^ My friends , my recent font has mspu-ed me with hope , with confidence , and reso utaon . It has taught me that a trafficking clique can never destroy the power of an honest leader , and to my enemies and revilers I say" Come one , enme all , this rock shall fly . From its firm base as soon as L In conclusion , as the censure of slaves is adnlation , I g ive you the following letter , received from 5 tocS portthismorning { Thursday ) ,

      occupying his brother ' s allotment at Lowbauds , and from which the reader may be able to discover the change that has come o ' er the spirit of my reviler ' s dream : from that the reader will learn that I am lauded to the sides , while the allottees are justl y reviled and abased ; so that Master John and Master Stephen may visit Macclesfield , and wheresoever they please , and the more they abuse ine , the more I will rejoice in their slander . Is it not the reward

      that I have invariably met with from those to whom I have been most kind ? and if principle was not riveted more deeply than flattery in my breast , would I not nave long since abandoned the people ' s cause ? ¦ But when the reader peruses this week ' s number of the National Instructor , and learns the vile and abominable persecution to which my father has been subjected , he . will come to the conclusion , that in me , patriotism is an inherent and not an adopted principle .

      Public Meeting—Mb. O'Connor In Carlisle....

      PUBLIC MEETING—MB . O'CONNOR IN CARLISLE . On' : Wednesday evening last a meeting of the inhabitants of Carlisle was convened in the lecture room of the Athenseum , finv . tife purpose of hearing Mr : Feargus O'Connor , M . P ., deliver a lecture on the position and prospects of the Chartist movement . Long before the time of meeting , the hall was crowded by a respectable audience , amonst which there was a goodly sprinkling of the fair sex . On themotion of Mr . John Gilbertson ,

      seconded by Mr . Thomas Roney , Mr . John M'Nicol was . unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman on rising was received with loud applause . He expressed the high gratification he felt at being called on to preside over such a meeting . He trusted that the audience had not only come forward to do honour to Mr . O'Connor , but to the principles which he had so consistently advocatedprinciples which their own government had not been slow to persecute , and which the despots of Europe had used every foul means in their power to crush . He then went on to

      speak of . the wily machination of the slimy serpent of Austria and the Bear of Russia , and spoke of the many atrocities which they had committed . He alluded to the treatment of the Poles by Russia , and the Hungarians by Austria , and denounced in no measured terms the crusade against freedom in which these despots had been engaged . ( Cheers . ) He hoped that the clouds of error , and darkness , and superstition , would speedily be dispelled , and nations would learn war no more but live at peace with each other . He trusted that

      the lecture of Mr . O'Connor that night would tend to hasten that better period by creating a sound Chartist spirit in the breast of every individual present ; and that every one weuld endeavour to spread a knowledge of those principles—to diffuse them around him . ( Cheers . ) Let him not be told , as he had been even by young men , " That the Charter is a very good thing , bat it will never be law in my day . " This was the doctrine their opponents wished them to preach and believe . ( Hear , hear . ) He concluded a long and eloquent speech by introducing to the meeting Mr . Feargus

      O'Connor . Mr . O'Connor on rising was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering . He did not think that any speech of his could propound a fairer or a wiser doctrine than that which they had just heard from their excellent chairman . He had now been twenty-eig ht years and more struggling for their cause , and he was how coming to the time when he obtained his first knowledge of the condition and wants of the people . It was on the 4 th of February , 1833 , now nearly eighteen years ago , that the true position of the people of this country had le

      struck his mind . Up to that period the peop of England and Ireland stood in bitter hostility to each other ; but when he came to solve the question he found that the people of England were as much oppressed as the people of Ireland , and he saw that if they were united they mig ht be able to resist aU class legislation and tyranny . ( Cheers . ) He might tell them , with pride to himself and pride also to them , that he had obtained more information by conversing and associating with working men for a day , than from all the tutors and schoolmasters during the whole course of his

      education . ( Cheers . ) Andhehadnohesitationin saying , that if he were allowed to lay his band blindfold on 658 men in that meeting , perhaps he mig ht touch some of the women . ( Laughter . ) ° If he thus fixed on G 58 men out of this meeting , he made bold to say that they would be able to legislate better for this country than the incapables who now filled the House of Commons . ( App lause . ) The age in which they now lived was different most essentially from the last . Hitherto the- government of this country had based its supremacy on its alliance with despotic powers . ( Cheers . ) Lord Broug ham had told them some tune ago that

      " he nnn UU n 0 t J ^^ ' ^ -for awy ' wew bound in 800 , 000 , 000 of recognizances to keep the peace . ( Laughter . ) 'On the alliance of the ugly bear of Russia , and the brute of Austria , has England based her power ; but now that the dog begins to worry ; they must keep the dog away from their own door . ( Cheers . ) It was notmore than two years since the republic cans of France carried and proclaimed the French Republic . They carried it by the power of the people ; and what had the "Special Constable'' Preaidehfc-lchosen by universal sufirage- done ? His very first act was to destroy , the Very power that elevated him into power . ( Alause . ) r-Lefcmen look to

      pp the changes that have very jecently occurred ; On the memorable 10 th of Apnl / iloois Napoleon was a special constable ia iondoa , aaeVhow their lovely young Queen receives bis ambassador at the Court of St .

Thesftressf here ; representor th * middle classes or the higher orders . D ;/ howevefj : they really had a free-press in this country—a press ready-. to develope the mind , of the people , they would not be long inflicted with a tyrannical government . It was to the supineness of the working classes themselves that the backward state of their cause was to be attributed . If a man at present had £ 2 a-week he was content , and he was no Chartist . He left it to the man with 15 s . a-week to agitate for the Charter . The time , however , came round . when he who formerly had 15 s . was consigned to the bastile , and the man who had the £ 2 a-week was obliged to content himself with

      153 . Then he turned round 'and said it was time to have a change . ( Applause . ) If , however , aflairs were managed with any degree of judgment , they would not only have £ 9 but perhaps £ 1 a-week , and there would not be a single pauper ia our bastiles . Was it not an anomaly that while the land was not cultivated to one tenth of its capability they should have such a , number of labourers shut up in the bastiles and be importing corn thousands of miles across the Atlantic ? ( Applause . ) If poverty created a surplus population in the manufacturing districts , why not-place that surplus on the land ? If they went to France , to Italy , to Germany—there if the people cried out against the tyranny to which they were subjected , they

      would—lords , bishops , shopkeepers , every one join with the people : but when they came to this country—though there were a revolution here they would find that not a single man who profited by the toil of the labourer would join them . ( Hear , hear , and cheers , ) How did they account for that but by the base system under which they had lived . If they , looked to the House of Commons , of which he had the misfortune to be a member , no independent member was of any use there . He could not obtain a hearing unless he belonged to some clique or party . There sat Lord John Itussell with his paid ministers and supporters behind him , all of them either in office or looking for it . On the right were the Irish toadies ana

      lickspittles . Opposite were Sir Kobert Peel and his tribe who , rather than let the Protectionists into power , would support the ministry in anything . There again sat the Protectionist landlords looking for high prices , and there on the . other band , were four or five independent members of the . house struggling for the people . Their voice wept for nothing ; but give him ' forty independent honest members who would sit down with the Speaker and rise with the house , and he would smash ' tip every government until they granted what the people were entitled to . ( Applause . ) -Heitrould tell them the mode in which business was . transacted in the house / . When . the house opened at four o ' clock there was a great rush to get through private

      buswess and the presenting of petitions , . 'When- a motion comes on , that moment thehouse is cleared , they go off to their parties , and dinners , and balls , and not more than fifty members ; remain until eleven or half-past eleven o ' clock , when they are whipped in by the whippers-in of their respective parties , and without having heard one word or one argument on either side , they vote along with their party , no matter what the arguments may have been . The moment , too , they come in , they sit down and commence to cry out " divide , divide , divide . " ( Cheers and laughter . ) This point might be very well illustrated by an anecdote which he would relate to them . The celebrated Pitt once proposed a motion . A Scotch member who was

      opposed to him acknowledged that bis speech had convinced him . But what did this Scotch member do ? He voted against the motion ; and when asked for the reason offals strange conduct , he replied "that many were the speeches that had altered his mind but damned the one that ever made him alter his vote . " It is precisely so with the present House of Commons . If any intellectual , honest , independent member brought forward the most powerful arguments , they were left unheeded by parties who had perhaps been convinced by them , but who would vote directly against the proposition if it were not supported by their party . ( Hear , hear . ) And what was the reason that they had only four or fire independent men in the house ?

      Because they were divided amongst themselves . Look to the difference between them and the French people . See what courage the French displayed at the barricades . Let , however , 10 , 000 men assemble in London for any given object , and they would be easily dispersed by ten policemen . Thus the government acquired its power from their disunion . There was not a more intelligent people on the face of the earth , if they would only commune together—unite together for the purpose of forwarding their common cause . Having seen what had taken place in France , he would prefer annual parliaments and our present franchise to universal suffrage with septennial parliaments . If he had the power , he would

      knock down every long chimney and every church steeple in the land . If he had the power , he would knock down the custom house , for they were the means of defrauding the people to a very large extent . If he had the power , be would turn every bastile into a college ; he would dismiss every soldier , for they would not be required if every Englishman were allowed to sit under his own vine and his own fig tree . Then every man , with his own cottage and his own homestead , would look upon his home as his sentry-box , and would be ready at all times when his family or his cottage was in danger . Trade was at present good . It would not continue long so , and the time was not far distant when Lord John Russell would say to him , please

      explain to us what the Charter is . On him ( Mr ; O'Connor ) explaining it , Lord John would-say ; " Oh , is that it—we will give you that ; . 'is " ' there anything more the people want . " ( Laughter and cheers . ) After twenty-eight years of hard strangling , he saw before him that a new time was approaching ,. The dark clouds were beginning to be dispelled from the distant horizon , and he saw , as it were , the dim shadow of liberty revealed . ( Cheers . ) He had stated last session in the House of Commons that he did not care whether the Pope , the Devil , or the Pretender occupied the throne , provided that throne rested on the power of the people , and Sir Harry Tierney thanked God that during all the time he had been a member of

      that bouse he had not heard such sentiments as those which had fallen from the honourable member : It was really sickening to hear Lord John Russell getting up and propounding views as those of her most gracious Majestjr upon subjects of which she had never heard , or if she had , of which she knew as little as a pig did of geometry . ( Laughter and cheers . ) He ( Mr . O'Connor ) was opposed to any form of government which was capable of keeping down the power of the working classes . They would know that there had lately been a meeting of Protectionists , held in London , where some agricultural gentlemen used very strong language , and where they talked of having all the horses at their ament he

      command . In his place m parli ( Mr . O'Connor ) asked if there were to be one law for the rich and another for the poor , and he put the question to Sir George Grey -if government intended to proceed against these parties . The right honourable baronet got up and told him , in the most insolent manner ,-that he would give noanswer to the question . He ( Mr " : O'Connor ) had replied , "Aye . but if it had been a Chartist , there would speedily have been a legal answer . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connor then went on to speak of the great valuo of the land to the people , of the right which they had to it , and expressed his belief that this country would never enjoy anything like permanent pros-

      The Executive Committee Of The National ...

      THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSO CIAT 10 N TO THE CHARTIST BODY . Fbiknds and Brethren . —Having for a period of some months discharged the duties of a Provisional Committee to your satisfaction , you have thought fit to continue us in office as your executive . The results of the elections have accorded to us , the undersigned , a leaseof power for the ensuing twelve months ; we cheerfully accept this mark of confidence at your hands .

      To the enrolled members we have no necessity to apply for support : they have already given us all the encouragement in their power . But we earnestly and emphatically , call upon those Chartists who are as yet unenrolled , to take out their card of Membership and swell the ranks of the National Charter Association . . We are prepared to adopt a vigorous policy—we are burning to carry it out : but we must be supported by larger funds than

      any which have as yet been placed at our disposal . Convinced of the absolute necessity of modelling the whole working-class mind to a proper appreciation of the value of political privileges and social rights , we have proposed to print and disseminate myriads of Tracts upon those important subjects ; and with that view we have established a t Tract Fund . Friends and Brethren , we energeticall y call upon you to support this Fund ; for you may rest assured that the circulation of Tracts is

      the best possible means of enli ghtening the most ignorant portion of the proletarian class , and of arousing the spirit of those who are already enlightened ; We unanimously and emphatically repeat former declarations which we have made , to the effect : that Ave adopt the policy of inculcating doctrines of social rights , so that the People , niayknow ; how to use the Charter when thep ' obiamib . ¦ r There'is / iiow ai point upon which we ourselves are , ' iwVA oneaccqrd , prepared to undertake strong and decisive measures , but relative to which we desire the explicit counsel and the well-considered suggestions of all the Chartist localities throughout the country . We allude

      to the policy that is henceforth to be observed towards the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . We consider that the hour is come for a decision to be arrived at on this important subject ; and although invested bv you with plenary powers in the task of conducting the great Chartist movement , we should nevertheless act with a firmer confidence , and a more vigorous energy , if backed by the specific authority of your opinions in the present instance . We therefore call upon you to assemble in your local councils and committees with as little delay as possible , in order to take this important matter into fair , dispassionate , and honest consideration .

      Friends and Brethren . —Once more we enjoin you to make every exertion to supply us with the funds requisite to conduct this great movement in which we are embarked ; we call upon you to make some pecuniary sacrifices now to this cause which is so holy , so humane , and so just;—and you will thereby enable us to give to the agitation that impulse which cannot fail to accelerate its success .

      Stockport.—A Members Meeting Not Having ...

      Stockport . —A members meeting not having been held for a long time , and the original committee not being prepared to call one , the matter was taken up by a few of the most active , and the consequence was , that a meeting of about thirty of that body met in the Association -Room , Waterloo-road , and a provisional committee was elected to call a general meeting of members ; thefollowing . was the result : —A members' meeting of this branch was held in the Chartist Association Room , Waterlooroad , on Wednesday night , the 12 th inst ., ' , and ia consequence of the meeting , being announced by ' placard it was . numerously attended . ! Ou the motion of William Benfold , Thomas-Higiiton wasj called to-the chair , who opened-thVbus ' mess of the

      meeting byasbbrtf , b « r appropriate speech , and after reading the report from the Star ,, onthe case of Registration , which has been pending . before the Court of Queen ' s Bench for some time , introduced Mr . William Benfold to move the first resolution , which was seconded by J . HadfieW . — " That we , the members of the Stockport branch of the National Land Company ^ earnestly request Mr . O'Connor to discharge from the directorship Clark , M'Grath , Dixon , and Doyle , or otherwise call a conference to consider the propriety , of doing so , as many other localities have repeatedly requested them to resign , but they have not had the honesty to comply with their request ; we further consider that it is a direct robbery on their part to receive £ 2 each , per week , out of our hard earned money , and perform no labour in return ; and we further consider them to bo a sot of knaves and tools , that may be employed by any party , and

      would sell their best friend ,. Mr . O'Connor , for filthy lucre , and that a short time will prove such to bo the case . They are no longer fit to . be trusted with our affairs , but , on tho contrary , deserve to be scouted from the society of honest men . " Proposed by G . F . Rhodes ; seconded by James Torkington . — " That we , the Land Members of Stockport , after hearing the base statements which have been so freely circulated in this town , against the private and public character of F . O'Connor by . Stephea and John Clarke ( brothers to Thomas Clarke , ) consider thorn to be base falsehoods , and that we have lull confidence in that gentleman , and we consider it to be our duty to instruct our secretary to write to Mr . O'Connor on the conduct of the persons . " Moved by Z . Holden , seconded by J . Hadfleld . — " That wo recommend Mr . O'Connor to wind up the affairs of the Land Company . "

      THE "IRISHMAN . " The usual weekly meeting of the friends of the Irishman newspaper took place at No . 26 , Goldenlane ; Mr . Wm . Flanagan was called to the ch » ir .

Bernard Fullam ; he concluded by

      calling on Mr . Joyce , acting secretary , in the absence of Mr . Clancy , to reaa a letter he had received from Dublin , intimating to them that the Irishman would appear on the samoprinciplcs as before early in July , which was / received with applause . The secretary expressed . his surprise at . the slowness of his countrymen in coming forward on this occasion , which he considered to . be the last spark of liberty that existed iulreland , and intimated to the meeting that it . was- .. their , . 'intention to call a public meeting for its support ' at an early day , of which due notice would be given . —Mr . Lynch got up and said that nothing gave him more pleasure than to hear that his countrymen responded to the call of their fallen friend , namely , the proprietor of tho Irishman newspaper , who was the advocate of civil and religious liberty all over the world , and that if they did not act onthat principle that they would not be worthy of the name they assumed . —Doctor

      O'Connor camo forward and said , that as he considered ho and those who were working with him had done their duty . towards the Irishman newspaper , he considered that the time had arrived when ' they should order their secretary to write to the secretary of tho Irish Democratic Society to send the rules and regulations of their society , so that tho Democrats of London might have an opportunity of co-operating with their brethren in old Ireland . —Mr . Daly came , forward and said that nothing gave him more pleasure than to second the proposition of Dr . Connor : — " That they as Irishmen in a foreign land wow in duty bound to cooperate with their brother Democrats , and give thorn all the facility in their power as the friends of Civil and Religious Liberty all over the -world . "A vote of thanks was proposed to the . chairman , and the meeting separated . —The committee meets at eight , o ' clock in tho same place every Sunday evening .
