      TO THE CHAIITISTS . [ y FjY Fbiesbs , —On Monday next , yoarreentasentatires will meet in London ; and I ili itQid implore of you to order them not to w aibw any "ism " to he mixed np witli Chara a \ a as I shall oppose any such proposition ; [ ' nq ' notwithstanding that I have ever Stood of ft » f ft * m any P arty *^ at advocated more tn tl an the Charter or less than the Charter , I aUd although that policy has invariably been ipouopouuded in the "Northern Star , " at a tfiiueciiug held in the South London Hall , on ednfednesday last , a professing Chartist * of the

      inie one of Small , as I was informed , reproved ited the " Northern Star " for recommend- ' nr iuig association with the Financial Reformers ; kile kite every reader of the " Northern Star " rostiust he perfectly aware that I have constantly ad vaA continually reprohated any such union . VhilVhilc my policy has been this : 1 have told the Jhaijhartists to attend their meetings , as they ouMould procure large buildings which the Charistsists could not , atid thereto propound the ve-• italritable Chartist principles which would give he the middle classes an opportunity of under-; tan ? ianding the principles , the talent , and the »] oq i »] oauence of the working classes : and this is he die maxim that I still adhere to .

      M My friends , you know the reliance that FraFrance has placed upon England , and Engiantand upon France , since the Revolution of 1841848 ; and now I will give you the following sxtextract from the '" ftmes" of Wednesday lasiast , to prove to you the candour of the Press . HeHere it is : — III have l « en assured , on what I have so doubt to be compefapetentauthority , thaiin fin feast ooKespcndence-wMeb lias lias passed between the leaders of tbe Socialist Committees in lia London and their brethren in searij all parts of the eon continent the stranyert recommendations hare been given to sto send over to London , at the period of tbe Exposition , as manuaov " men of action" ( lammts ( Taction ) as possible .

      VfliVhat the object intended by this recommendation IS , my infdnfiirniant dots not say . We have , however , in tbe nunrfedferfos and addresses of these men , as published in their recegcopused organs , assurances that the next rising of the jiaiitojile tnuit not be a jiartiai butan universal revolution , aiu audit is to be presumed that in virtue of the princioleof " s" solidarity of nations" no country would be deprived of thi the advantages resulting from such an event The more ho humane or the more charitable would supiiose the " men of of actio !! " referred to may be intended to apply to a less fo . formidable , lfcousb not vaamtopng class . Nettling more

      w ma v be uu-ant tlian a large addition to those hands of Contra ranni = js who abumitiate the possessive pronoun , or who Id Idndlv convert meumnnd tuumintosuvxti , and to whom the t « telegraphic apparatus of the Crystal 1 ' alaee has some reft ferenie . However that may be , tbe letter in question earn nestly urges the necessity of a supply of " men of action " a at the period referred to . Now , when you read the above , you must i not believe it , and if you do believe it , you - mast not act upon it—as you may rest assured ¦ that all forei gners hate the English j and if tbev did create a revolution here , it would be

      i for the mere purpose of weakening the power of the French Special Constable President . I have been several times in the National Assembly of Paris , and it would be impossible to describe the state of parties in that Assembly . Sometimes three or four couple will go out to fight a duel ; and if any member makes a speech to offend the party tURODggt which he sits , they will get up , clench their fists at him , and bellow at him ; but I never saw a greater storm than that which took p lace in the House of Commons on Thursday week , when Mr . Dmjmmokd was speaking . The Speaker was obliged to get up several times and claim the protection of the House , but all in vain . This , of course , was upon the Catholic question .

      Now , working men , as I am not a trafficking politician , let me implore of you not to allow yourselves to be led away b y foreigners , who would merely use y ou as puppets . The French people have never forgotten the Battle of Waterloo , and never will forget it . I have not the slightest objection to the French contending for their rights at home , but I have a great objection to their leading you astray . As a number of my enemies are discussing , or rather revilisg , the Bill now introduced for "Winding-up the Land Company , I have given orders that it should be printed in this week ' s "Star , ' in order that all may read it ; and then I think all honest men will come to the , conclusion , that a more discreet and proper Bill could not be proposed ; and as the

      publication of this Bill will occupy some considerable space , I must make my letter brief ; but I wish I could find space in the "Northern Star' to publish an article which appeared in the " Times' * of Thursday , relative to the present position of France , and the jeopardy in which the Special Constable President is now placed ; however , I must omit it , as I attach more importance to domestic than to foreign affairs . And , in conclusion , I trust that all the districts will state to their delegates the course that they are to pursue in the forthcoming Conference , and that they will not allow any " ISM , " upon any account , to be mixed up with CHARTISM . Your Faithful and Uncompromising Friend and Advocate , Feargus O'Cosxor .

Dear sir , it is gratifying to me to sec , although you are at present frustrated in your noble and philanthropic design to gain for the toiling millions their independence and happiness , that there is an undercurrent at work in favour of the land that will shake the very foundation of class misrule to its v * ry core . Dear sir , although at present the praise

      » given to others by the middle classes , while it is due to you , sir , who have been the cause of the change that is taking p lace in the minds of the people . I was at a meetinj- held at the Rotnerham Cosrt on Monday , tbe lOra of March , when Mr * , leader , of the SAejfcld Independent , gave great praise to Mr . James Taylor , of Birmingham , for his exertions as founder of the Freehold Land and Building Societ'cs , while , at the same time , you , * ho kid brought the great question of the land he / we the public mind , wa- ; forgotten by the middle classes , but not hy the more thinking of the forking classes , who have watched your career . Hew sir , I must conclude , hoping that you will Hill live to foil the attempts of tyranny and oppression over the toiling millions . I am , yours truly , in the good cause , James Tchxeb .

      And whereas it waa for some time part of the plan of the said society , that the same should be composed of different divisions or branches , or of different parts actin * to some extent separately or distinctly from each other , and having distinct delegates or officers : . ^ . Aad , whereas upon its being- found thafcthe said undertakimjconld not be carried into effect under the provisions of the Acts relating to Friendly Societies , the scheme and rules of the said undertaking and society were , with the like assent , altered for the porpose of bringing the same within the provisions of an Act passed in the eighth year of the reign of Her present Majesty , intituled , " An Act for the Registration , Incorporation , and Regulation of Joint Stock Companies . " And with

      the like assent the said society was in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-six' provisionally registered under the title of " The Chartist Cooperative Land Company , " for the purpose of purchasing land and erecting dwellings and schools . And subsequently in the same year , and with the like assent , the provisionally registered pine of the said Company was changed to "T he Xational Co-operative Land Company , " and the provisionally registered purpose of the same Company was declared to be "to purchase lands , to erect houses , to allot the same to shareholders , to make advances of money to allottees , and to raise money for the purposes aforesaid . " And in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven , with the lite assent , f he provisionally registered name of the said Company was changed to " The National

      Land Company : " And whereas , from time to time the constitution and rules of the said Company were altered with the assent of the subscribers thereto , and ultimately , with the like assent , a deed of settlement was prepared and executed for tbe purpose of defining the constitution and rules of the said Company and of obtaining complete registration thereof , which deed bears date the first day of Jane , one thousand eight hundred and forty-seven , and is expressed to be made between the several persons whose names and seals are or shall be thereto subscribed and affixed , of the one part , and Thomas Stingsby Buncombe , of Spring Gardens , in the county of Middlesex , Esq ., a trustee on behalf of the "National Land Company , " of tbe other part , and which deed has been executed by a large number of the subscribers to the said

      And whereas with the like assent the perpetual yearly rent-charge to be paid by the allottees of land was reduced from the rate of five pounds per centum to the rate of four pounds per centum on the cost price of the allotments and advances made to them : And whereas the Company has not been completely registered ; and Her Majesty ' s Court of Queen's Bench has decided that tbe Company is not established for any commercial purpose , or for any purpose of profit , or for the purpose of assurance or insurance , within the meaning of the said Act for the registration of Joint Stock Companies : And whereas since the commencement of the said undertaking many shares have been taken therein , and the subscriptions on such shares have been

      wholly or partially paid to persons acting as promoters or officers of the Company , and the principal part ot such subscriptions feas been expended in the purchase of the lands and hereditaments specified in the first Schedule hereto , which lands and hereditaments were , with the assent of the said subcribers , purchased in the name of and conveyed to Feargus O'Connor , now ot Notting Hill in the county of Middlesex , esquire , aud in building , or cultivating , or otherwise improving various parts of such lands , and in rnakin" advances to allottees And whereas portions of the said purchased lands have been sold by the said Feargus 0 ' Connor for the benefit of the Company , and have been conveyed to the respective purchasers thereof , which lands so sold are specified in the second Schedule hereto :

      And whereas , from time to time , since the commencement of the said undertaking , various allotments of portions of the said purchased lands , with the buildings and improvements thereon , have been made to different subscribers to the undertaking , by lot or otherwise , in accordance or supposed accordance with the rules of the Company for the time being promulgated by the promoters thereof ; and the respective allottees have been put into possefsion of their allotments , but no . allotment has been actually conveyed or demised to any Allottee j and some of such allottees , in accordance or supposed accordance with such rules , have received advances of money or of seed , stock , tools , implements , or other goods out of the funds of the said Company : Aud whereas some time in the year one thousand

      eight hundred and forty-seven , a bank of deposit was opened in Sew Oxford Street , in the county of Middlesex , under the style of " The National Land and Labour B < nfc , " and the business of banking was carried on there under the management of the said Feargus O ' Connor , but the same bank was by the said Feargus O'Connor , and also by the other promoters of and the subcribers to the said « National Land Company , " statedjrnd understood to be established and carried on in aid of the objects of the said Company , and as part of the undertaking ; and the said banking business was so carried on by the said Fearjrus O'Connor until the other operations of the said Company were suspended , ana toe said bank has since been kept open and remains open chiefly for the repayment of deposits :

      And whereas tbe said Society , while it was composed or intended to be composed of different divisions or branches , or different parts , as aforesaid , may have been contrary to the provisions of an Act passed in the thirtv-ntnth vear of the reign of his late Majo « ty King Geoige the third , intituled " An Act for the more ifiectnal Suppression of Societies estflbliihed for Seditious and Treasonable Purposes , and for better Pieveutiug TreasouaMe and Seditious Practices : And whereas doubts are entertained whether the

[ The remainder of this Bill will be given next week . ]

      National Lajjb Compact. A Meeting Of The...

      NATIONAL LAJJB COMPACT . A meeting of the shareholders of the Metropolis was held on Sunday afternoon , at the City Chartist Hall . The attendance-when compared with the number of shareholders resident in London—was limited in the extreme . About three o'clock Mr . Davis was called to the chair , aud stated that they had met to discuss the provisions of the Act for the Winding-up of the Company , preparatory to petitioning for or against the bill . Mr . Bloomfield read the bill , and the schedules attached to the same .

      Mr . j . Wjison , at considerable lertgth , opposed the clause in tbe bill which provided , that the expencesofthe Bank should be borne by the Company , lie was also of opinion that the creditors of the Company should not be paid in full , hut should only receive a dividend similar to that of the shareholders , lie objected to the Directors being paid for their services for a considerable period past , and thought they should not be appointed official managers , or in any way employed in winding-up the Company . Mr . Stallwood asked several questions relative to the sale of the property at O'Cbnnorville , Minster Lovel . < fcc .

      Mr . Milne , and others , spoke in strong terms relative to the supposed mismanagement of the Company . Mr . Ireland gave it as his opinion that the scheme was a failure ; his expenditure , as an allottee at O ' Connorville , had been far greater than his receipts . Mr . J . Beatiie , of Minster Lovel , gave a long rambling account of the occupants of that location , and the manner in which many of them had been ejected from their allotments ; and stated that

      several of them were now in prison at the suit of Mr . O'Connor . He further stated , in reply to questions , whether he had let a portion of his land , and the state of the allotments , that it was true he had let a portion of his land , three acres , but that he had not received any money , as he had allowed the person who occupied it two shillings per day to assist him in draining the land . As respected the allotments , he must admit that the majority of them were in a worse state than when the allottees had

      possession given to them , hut his own allotment was worth £ 15 an acre more than when he first had it ; he was ready and willing , even now , after having been ejected , to pay ail the demands of the Company upon him , provided he had his lease . Messrs . Laxtresce and Lefevre entered into some local dispute relative to the funds paid by the Whittington and Cat Branch . Mr . Dow uso spoke in his capacity of late auditor as to the general satisfactory manner in which the books of the Company were kept , but complained that he was not allowed to inspect the credit side of the accounts of the Directors .

      Considerable discussion took place upon the different views held by the shareholders respecting the bill , which ended , however , in the appointment of Messrs . Dowling , Stallwood , Bloomfield , Wilson , Salmon , Grasshy , Markhall , Florence , Fowler , liampton , and Slocombe , as a committee to prepare a petition against the objectionable portions thereof , and Lay the same for adoption before a public meeting of the shareholders , to be called for that purpose , as early as possible . A subscription was entered into to defray the expenses of the meeting . Surprise was expressed by some of the shareholders that the bill had not been printed in the Northern Star , and that no person was present on the part of Mr . O'Connor or the Directors , to explain or defend the bill .

      In reply to the report of the above meeting of the Land Members , I have only to say , Firstly—That I never heard of the meeting until after it had taken place . Secondly— That 1 made a strong objection to the opening of the Bank in connexion with the Land Company , at the Conference in Manchester . Thirdly—That MY FRIEND , Mr . Beattie , got £ 13 a year for three acres of his land , while the rent of his house and four acres

      would be about £ 11 a year ; that is , as 1 ha v e stated before , he had a very nice cottage , an acre of land , two pounds a year profit rent , and his aid money , £ 30 , for nothing . But , I do not think that I could give you a stronger definition of the value of my Land Plan than Mr . Beattie has given you , when he tells you that by the draining of his land he increased its value by £ 15 an acre . Aud now-, in anewei'to Mr . Beattie , I will tell him that insolent as he has been to me , and although he has cheated the Company , that I am quite ready and willing to give him or any other man a lease of his allotment .

      The Bill for winding up this Company has been drawn up by the most able barrister , and has undergone great consideration , but I think the located honest members who have paid no rent , and my LONDON FRIENDS have a strong desire to RUIN ME WITH EXPENSES . Feargus O'Connor .

Sir George Grey has no doubt that the money to which you refer Ins been received by Cuftay , but there is no positive information on the subjoct in this department .

      Julian Harney reported , that the sub-Committee , appointed to draw up tho plans to be submitted to the Committee had again met , and that thenlabours were near completion .

      Ma . vciiestrr . — On Sunday evening the usual weekly meeting was held in tho People ' s Institute , which was filled with a most attentive audience . Mr . John Sutton presided . Mr . O'Connor ' s letter having been read from tho i \ ort /« jm Star , the chairman introduced Mr . M'Grath to the meeting , to deliver an address upon passing political events , and the duty of the people at the present time . Tho speaker reviewed the proceedings of the Session , more particularly the recent bungling Budget , and that piece of Whiggish imbecility and injusticethe Piipal Aggression Bill . Mr . M'Grath then referred to the feeble and disjointed state of the democratic movement , and argued to prove that tbe Manchester Chartist policy was the only one likely to inaugurate an agitation of any real buneSt to the people . Mr . M'Grath ' s lengthy address was listened to with deep attention by the meeting , and

      was only broken by manifestations of their approval . The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs . Leach , Donovan , Stephen Clark , Dickinson , and M'Cormack . The chairman announced that Mr . Donovan would lecture on Sunday evening next , on the subject of " Registration of Electors , " when he would prove that nearly 2 , 000 of the inhabitants of Manchester might be in possession of the franchise , if they would only take the trouble to register , This announcement was received with applause . After the usual votes of thanks , the assemblage dissolved .

Manchestbb . —On Sunday , last a meeting Of tho members of this Association was held iii the Cumberland-street Room ; there was a good attendance .

      Mr . John Knight in the chair . The programme of business for the Conference was the subject For discussion , and it was unanimously determined that the instructions to be given to our delegates should be in accordance with the principles which induced us to separate from the Ileyrod-sti-eet Council , namely , the Charter— whole and entire , without augmentation or dimunition , —On Sunday evening last a meeting was held in the Cumberlandstreet Room—Mr . Knight in the chair—the spacious room was crowded . Mr . G . J . Mantle delivered

      an impressive address on the progressive nature of roan , and the necessity of his enh < vwh' > somenl from political thraldom , which could only be effected by giving him a voice in the enactment of laws he is compelled to obey . A meeting was held in the People ' s Institute , Heyroa ' -street , on Tuesday evening last , under the auspices of the Council o ' f the National Charter Association , which was midressed by Mr . Ernest Jones , and W . P . Roberts , Esq . —Mr . John Knight in the chair . Tho chairman opened the business of the meeting , and introduced Mr . Jones , who , on rising , was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause . The lecturer commenced by analysing the pretentions and abilities of the aristocracy to govern the country , and ably proved that not one of their recent public acts justified their pretensions ; and tint neither Whigs ' nor Tories represented the wants or wishes of the nation . Ho quoted the recent fall of the Russell

      Cabinet , at a time when there was neither commercial depression , or any great amount of agitation , as a proof of their imbecility . Mr . Jones then objected to the doctrine , that the people would ever obtain power through the aid of the so-called middle classes . The union really wanted was between tho toilers , anil until this took p lace there was no hope for the people . Trades Unions had intended , but could not prevent , the ruin of the people . The only resistance that could be successful must be the offspring , not of a trade , but a nation—not of a section of the State , but of its strength and resolution . It was useless to talk about impressing the Whigs . It was useless to talk about impressing parliament ; it was their own order they must impress ; they must impress themselves , and organise to win . Mr . Jones concluded a brilliant speech amid loud and repeated cheers , W . P . Roberts , Esq ., rose to move a vote of thanks to Mr . Jones . He said

      that though he had only yesterday rose from a bed of sickness , where he had been confined eight days , he felt it his duty to attend and do honour to Mr . Jones . He felt that as a split must take place hove it was his duty to take his side , and he ranked himself on the side of those principles Mr . Jones had just expounded . The only thing to live upon or to sleep upon was the Charter . Mr . Mantle seconded the vote of thanks to Mr . Ernest Jones , as proposed by Mr . Roberts . Mr . Mantle defended Mr . Jones from the frequent allusions to platform braggadocioism , and proceeded to stale his views as to tho course which the Conference ought to pursue , The policy of Messrs . O'Connor , Roberts , and Jones , was his policy , and lie would maintain

      that policy in the Conference . He had upheld the principles of unalloyed Chartism in poverty , and in times when ho was better off . In prison and nut of prison ; and ii the Conference passed laws honourable to itself and to the cause of Chartism , he would still support it ; and be did not believe there would be any split in Manchester among those who could legitimately bo called Chartists . Mr . Mantle then referred to tho middle classes , and illustrated their conduct by a number of sarcastic remarks upon the mayor ' s prohibition of teamen endeavouring to collect the trifle which the factory workers of Manchester seemed willing to give them . The Chairman put tbe motion to the vote , which was unanimously carried , and the meeting broke up .

      Hani , ey and Shelton . —At a meeting convened for the purpose of electing a delegate to the forthcoming Conference , the enclosed resolutions were unanimously passed . Moved by Mr . Merriman , and seconded by Mr . Bevington : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the present unsettled state of political parties in this country offer a favourable opportunity to the friends of the people to arouse the attention of the public , on behalf of the principles of the People ' s Charter . " "That in order to organise an efficient movement , having in view the enactment of the People ' s Charter , it is desirable that a delegate be sent from this meeting

      to represent the people of this district in the forthcoming Conference . " Moved by Mr . Murton , seconded by Mr . Joseph Smith : — " That Mr . James Capeweli be the delegate to represens the Staffordshire Potteries in the Conference appointed to assemble in London on the 31 st instant . " [ We have been kindly furnished with a well-done am ] lengthv report of this meeting , by the editor of the Mnh ' Stcqfonhhirs Independent , a paper recently established in the Potteries , —and regret that the press upon our columns prevents its publication .

      To The British Democracy. It Is With Plc...

      TO THE BRITISH DEMOCRACY . It is with plcueure that I again behold an effort being made to gather together tho scattered elements of the British Democracy under the guidance of men who , I trust , have both tho wisdom and political experience to conduct the proposed organisation to a successful issue . The pro era 111 111 c of the now Chartist Executive seenis to me a declaration of rights which all shades of the real democracy ought unanimously to respond to . The Executive , in calling upon the people to unite , place a definite statement before the fiountry as to what , the people are called upon to unite for .

      This is an excellent commencement , and will carry with it immense influence , especially as the advance guard of the democracy will behold in tho programme a stop in advance of other documents issued by any formei * Chartist Executive . The declaration in the programme " that tho land is tho property of the whole nation , " is to my mind the most valuable and important part of that document , and there never was a more favourable time than the present period of agricultural distress and discontent , to impress that ' all-important idea upon the public mind . In advocating tbe Charter in all its integrity , the question of the nationalisation of the laud , and the other reforms set forth in tHe programme , will form excellent suhjectsifl teachitic the people their social as well as their political rights . Prom tho words of the Executive , the future propaganda , from being more systematic , is sure to be more effectual than any former agitation .

      By extending the movement into the slumbering districts of agriculture , tho agitation will call to life the . rural population , who may as yet be said to have no political existence . The neglect , or at most but partial attention to this , was a , great mistake upon the part of the former leaders of tho people . In former agitations the chief exertions o tho Chartist body have been confined to the large towns , and even there without any other systematic mode of action than the mere issuing of bills announcing public meetings , at which seldom any other than Chartists attend . I hare frequently scon meetings held in tho City in tho beginning o ' f tho week ; in Lambeth about the middle " ; Westminster , or Marylcbone towards the end ; all attended by nearly the same audience , addressed by nearly the same speakers , not all of them quite sure as to what they cither wanted themselves , or what justly constitute the rights of tho people . I could say tho same thing of several other of our largo towns .

      Sow I take it for granted that the event work to be accomplished is bs teach thoso who are not yet converts to the creed of democracy , the necessity of becoming so ; but it is imposMble ' to do this while the agitation is chiefly confined to the ranks of tho democracy itself . I am glad , however , to observe that tho Executive seem to have an eye to this , with a view to make the agitation more general and systematic . The repeated disputes between the moral and physical force Chartists is another subject which has caused much di .-sention and ill focling among the Chartist body , and it- will do so again , unless both tho people and their leaders are determined to put a stop to this insane policy , and prevent that question from being entertained or discussed under any form whatever , because I hold that a decision either way will turn to the advantage of the

      government . For my own part , I look upon that man as being fit for little else than out-door relief , who , under all circumstances , preaches passive obedience . On the other hand , any man who threatens the overthrow of tho government by force , when ho and his party are scarcely strong enough to stand upon their legs , ought to be taken care of , and if he should have any friends , the sooner they look after him tho better , because if they do not " the government will be sure to take care of him for them . If any attempt should he made to revive this question during the future agitation , I trust tho good sense of the people , and those who are worthy of tho name of their leaders , will at- onco cause it to be suppressed . Let tho democracy set itself energetically to work to make converts of the majority of the people to its creed , and then the question as to how they can best acquire their rights may be considered as settled .

      For this purpose the Democratic and Social schoolmaster should be sent abroad , and the young mind of this country be literally besieged " with instruction upon the subjects contained in the programme of the Executive , until the great mass ot the people arc thoroughly convinced of the nuaessity of giving practical effect to tho doctrines contained therein , and the hour of their emancipation may be said to be at hand .-To do this effectually great , care must he taken that the agricultural districts are not neglected . I have had occasion to travel through several of the most important agricultural counties during the last year , and 1 know well there is a strong feeling against the present system of landlordism , which only requires to be directed into the proper channel . I fear I have already occupied too much Space , and will therefore conclude with an earnest appeal to the British Democracy to rally round the Executive . Alfred A . Walton .

      THE CHARTISTS Of NEW RADFORD AisD THE SECRETARY OF THE SATIOXAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . TO TIIE EDITOR OF TIIE KOKTIIER . V STAR . Sin , —We request the insertion of these linei , in consequence of our last forming subject matter for dispute . We . ! w , ve not tho slightest intention of charging the Executive , or their secretary , with publishing reports which they knew to be falseneither have we any desire to lead the publio mind astray with regard to them ; but , when readin ? the report of the Executive in the Star of the 1 st of February , wo there found that . " correspondence of a highly encouraging and progressive character had been received from New Radford , " which wo knew nothing of ; and we being the only organised party in New Radford , were at a loss to conjecture from whence arose tho report in question . Again , in

      the Star of March the first , wo find that " correspondence had been received from Nottingham , stating that , at present , we were unable to take part in sending a delegate to tbe ensuing Convention , " when , in the same column , will be found the report of a meeting which was held at tbe Seven Stars , Barker-gate , where Mr . Feikin was duly elected to represent the district of Nottingham . We , the Chartists of Radford , lost no time in lay . ing tbe matter before our next District Council Meeting , and having made the strictest inquiry ia order to find , if possible , tlte writer of these documents , without effect , we became impressed with the belief that there were enemies in the camp * friends in

      and as our Nottingham did not sift ; the matter in reference to themselves , wo deemed it our duty to inform tho Executive , through tho Star , of what was going on . Wu would suggest that , as far as practicable , the names of correspondents be inserted , 80 as to prevent any misunderstanding m future . And we cannot conclude without offering an apology for any uneasiness which wo may have caused the Executive or Mr . Arnott , as nothing but good fooling , and an ardent desire tor the prosperity of the movement , induced us to sivo the sub ject publicity . Trusting this explanation will prove satisfactory , I remain , on behalf of the Chartists of

      , New Radford , March 25 th , 1851 . James Bnows , Sec . P . S . —If Mr . An . ott will examine the list of places entitled to . vend delegates to the he will sec that Radford is not included cality connected with the district of Therefore , in laying the matter before wo , of course , sent our own name and
