>It Friends, I Address This Letter Gener...
> It Friends , I address this letter generally to your or-^ because lam vain enough to think that all have an interest in my character . It is cow one o ' clock on Friday morning , and I must he brief . You will allow that I have done three fair days * work . On Monday , I attended the Crown and Anchor meeting , and -was not in bed till two o ' clock . On Tuesday ,
I travelled to Manchester , ' spoke in an OVEN for nearl y four hours , and was not in hed till nearly four o clock . On Wednesday , I travelled to Nottingham , and spoke for two and a half hours in a WARM BATH , and was not in bed till nearly two o ' clock . This day I have travelled to London , and on my arrival had to furnish an account of the various sums I received for the . Bank andLand Fund to the managers and directors .
Thus , you will see . that I have not been idle ; Jbut I . cannot refrain from saying a word . I tell yon , then , that ! shattnext Week put you in possession of an amount of villainy prac--tised againstyo . u and me , such as nonebut the most hellish mind could imagine , and you will ^ ay ftat _ i * must have a charmed life to have escaped the ; snares of the conspirators , ^ fad a meeting ^ nd af triumph at Manchester such as no man ever had before ; and I reall y " assure yon that not one of the audienca was more thunderstruck than I was at the revelations made by-Mr Rider , iny clerk , relative to the ¦ disposal of my monies in connection with the tforthem Star . As Timkins says , 'YEA .
VERILY , ! WAS FLABBERGASTED f ^ and you shall have it all . At Nottingham the crowd was , if possible , greater . I had to make a second attempt before I could reach the platform , and every avenue to the Exchange was crammed . At Manchester , our good friend Grocott was in the chair ; and at Nottingham , our little General Sweet ; and at both places my children appeared to he more than satisfied—not one of mv enemies appeared , or any one on their l > ehalf , and WELL FOR THEM , as the RUFFIANS reall y deserved no mercy . On my arrival at the Star office , I understood that it would be impossible to give the whole ^ flairs of Manchester and Nottingham , with
the correspondence consequent upon the charges made against me , this week , and all interested thought that it would be injudicious to mince it , and that it would be much better to give all , which will extend from fifteen to twenty columns , in a consecutive form , next week . The whole will form a perfect narrative , and which , I trust , every reader will keep , as a curiosity . The correspondence and resolutions alone , will extend over five or six columns , and will well repay perusal . You will be glad to hear that I have not left one single charge , or the shadow of a charge , unanswered ; while I have not onl y charged my accusers of high crimes , hut have convicted them upon the clearest testimony .
M y friends , you must not attach a simple money importance to this question . No , I implore you to take the larger view , the damnable attempt of a portion oE the press to destroy my character , in order that my influence may perish ; but I will destroy every journal that has entered into the conspiracy . The Dispatch and the Kottinglum , Mercury are both quaking , and their friends are sharing their fears . You must come to the conclusion , that never was there such a blood-thirsty and ferocious onslaught made on mortal man , and bv a set of hired
slaves and hypocrites . In next week ' s Star you will have your doubts ( if you had any ) cleared up , upon every single point that has been mooted by the enemy J and something more . While the Nottingham fool gave me more rope to hang him , in his Saturday ' s rubbish , than in all his other attempts at figures . There are one or two subjects of not less importance than the Land Plan , upon which 1 will have to address you next week—I mean the Pope ' s injunction to the Irish Catholic Bishops , relative to the Irish Colleges , and into , which is lugged , very cunningly , the question of non-interference with political , or ** ' party " questions ; precisely as I foretold
vrhat the object of an English alliance with his Holiness was to end in . Now , my friends , believe me , that this question , if not met vigorously hy the friends of discussion and progress , will be the greatest blow that democracy has ever felt , and for this very simple reason that , with Ireland passsive , quiescent , and submissive , any Ministry would be enabled to turn their whole strength to the overthrow of democracy in this country . You 4 nustnotloses % htofapproachingdanger , inyour new born love for a liberal Pope . In this wemust resist the Pope , the Devil , or the Pretender , as English Democracy must not be sacrificed to Italian resistance to Austrian Despotism .
The other subject to which I mean to draw your attention is , the reply of Lord Clarendon , the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland , to a deputation of Irish Catholic Bishops , and which the Times extols to the skies' as apiece of composition which its own encomiums , it says , could not make more forcible . Now , I undertake to prove that his Lordship ' s reply is rank nonsense , and inconsistent with itself , and that his strained reasoning is a fallacy from beginning to end j while the address of the Deputation is at once a compliance with his Holiness s orders of noninterference , and a direct contradiction , or
rather a surrender , of ail the previously expressed opinions of the Irish Catholic Prelates , especially Archbishop M'Hale . Now , 1 will make these two questions as plain toj'ou as the sun at noon-day . These are the means , my friends , by which I hope finall y to destroy the bastard influence of the press , whose words we have been in the habit of receiving as ' Holy Writ . ' Don't , pray don ' t , allow your minds to he distracted from those great and important
questions . You will see the best answer to the press-gang , in the amount of Land Money for this week . I would willingly pay them for such results . NEXT WEEK'S ' STAR ' MUST BE READ AND KEPT . I will throw my whole soul into it . Hobson is the greatest "villain of the ruffians , if distinction without a difference does exist Ever your affectionate Friend and Representative , FeaRgcs O'Connor .
Friday morning . We have just received the Nottingham Review of this week , containing an elaborate and admirable report of Mr O'Connor ' s speech on Wednesday night , extending over ^ ight columns , and promising still more , the time not being sufficient to publish all in the country edition . Now , we strongly recommend our friends in the Midland Counties to purchase and KEEP the Review , in order in future to enable them to reply to the vagaries of poor Bailey , of the Mercury , without imposing upon your Member the trouble of again visiting Nottingham , to defend himself and them . Oar next number will contain a terbatim report of the whole proceedings , as well as sll the * correspondence alluded to .

MANCHESTER . ( From a Correspondent ) TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . . ~ Wednesday . ~? > " —1 need make no apology to your readers for sending you a brief notice of a subject m which not onlv the people of Manchester , but every working man in England has . a deep interest ^ -I . mean thfe subject of Mr 0 CoMbifs ^ t ; t ^ night . -I write as f feel , wider ' the influence of great excitement ; an excitement ; which is participated in by every workinar man within thirtr
mUes of this town ]* The deep tones ' of the roaring- lion , arid the loud cheers of , his devoted children , are still ringing in my ears . . Sir , —It was communicated to the people by our esteemed friend ( Mr Barrow ) , to whom we still owe a debt which honour calls upon us to pay , that the people of the Examineroffice had heed in negotiation with a party of navvies to assassinate our honoured father ; this intelli gence , corroborated by a respectable lad , flew like wildfire through the district , and the resultwas streams of "fustian jackets , blistered hands , and nnshora chins , " flowing in all directions , from within thirty miles of
this town . As early as five o clock the Hall of Science was crowded to suffocation ; before six half-a-crown was given , in many instances , to those inside to drag a traveller through the window ; and a pound was offered for a seat in one of the private boxes ; while not a fifth of those who came to be present could , secure standing room in the Hall . Had these murderous assassins even attempted ' to put their threat into execution , there would not he one stone standing upon another by this time in Manchester , as the . greatest excitement in 1839 or ' 42 was tameness itself to the feeling exhibited .
At half-past seven o ' clock Mr O'Connor arrived , accompanied by Mr Roberts , and neither pen nor tongue could describe his reception when he presented himself upon the platform . It was not enthusiasm—it was madness —a phrenzy that cannot be described ; and , when he arose to address the meeting , the storm was renewed with redoubled force . He did not stand before his tribunal as a cringing cul p rit supplicating for their mercy , but as the proud defender of his honour and our cause ; not a single subject , or a single point
upon which he had been assailed , did he leave unhandled or unexplained . The Land Plan , and all its machinery , from its commence ment to the present time , he made clearer and more ! simple to his audience than it ever was before . The Banking question he simplified so that all could understand it ; and , after he had treated on those subjects and the Balance Sheet , he went into the question of the Northern Star and its establishment , and its management under Ardiil and Hobson ; he went into Cleave ' s case , and produced the books of the Northern Star from its commence
ment to the present day , exhibiting them to the reporters , and to the practised accountants on the platform , admitting , as * the Whistler' assertedj that they toere falsified in every page , —but not by Mr O'Connor—the reporters , in my hearing , declaring that it was rank robbery—not of Mr Cleave , but of Mr O'Connor—and practised by his clerk . He discussed the question of the shares of the Northern Star—the charge of having defrauded his uncle , Arthur O'Connor , and his female relatives—the question of qualification for the county of Cork—the balance sheet of
the Land monies , and his several accounts with the working classes—and when he had defended his own character , both public and private , he then turned upon his assailants , one after the other , and with a vigour and a force never surpassed by language , he crushed and demolished , not only their every charge , but annihilated their every title'j to belief . Hobson , Ardiil , and c the Whistler , should have been there to hear the verdict , while the vote of censure passed upon their victim amounted to the heavy penalty of ONE
THOUSAND SOVEREIGNS paid to him upon the platform . Before Mr O'Connor concluded he said he had brought money to refund to every member of the Land Company , with interest up to that night , who had been juggled or seduced by him to join it , and , like the government , he would look to his brother directors for indemnity . He read several letters about the character of his assailants amidst a storm of hisses , and concluded a speech of three hours and forty minutes , amidst an expression of feeling which bespoke the verdict of his audience .
"When Mr O'Connor had concluded , "William Rider , * the present clerk at the Northern StarO & ce , and who had brought every bookconnected with that paper , presented himself amid loud cheers . He asked his audience if they desired to put him upon his oath , and the response being 'No , ' he proceeded , in a strain of simple but forcible eloquence , to narrate the connection and conduct of Mr Ardiil and Mr Hobson , from the commencement of the Northern Star , and
proved , to the satisfaction of every man who heard him , a system of continuous fraud and treachery , which brought down the deep and heavy execrations of his audience . In fact , sir , it would be quite impossible for one who did not take notes to report the amount of villainy divulged by Mr Rider . He read some accounts of Mr ArdiU ' s , which he declared Mr O'Connor had never before beard of , and he was about to read a letter from one of Mr Hobson ' s * apprentices , which , however , Mr O'Connor took out of his hand , and would not allow him to read .
I should have mentioned that Mr O'Connor read a letter from a Mr Townley , of London , charging the "Whistler " with embezzlement , as well as a quantity of correspondence , which . I uresume , will appear in the Northern Star . * I should have mentioned likewise , that , while the hall was crowded inside , Dr M'Douall and Mr West were addressing from ten to fifteen thousand people outside ; while the cheers , of those within were echoed by those without with a rig ht hearty good will . The proceedings were concluded bv a spirited resolution of confidence in Mr O'Connor , which was carried
b y acclamation without a single dissentient ; and another resolution , pledging the people of Lancashire who were fairly represented at the meeting , to supply the funds necessary to defeud Mr O'Connor against his assailants , and would be assassins . The proceedings did not terminate till nearl y twelve o ' clock ; after which , Mr O'Connor remained upon the p latform for more than an hour and a half receiving the parings spared from Labour ' s board to fight Labour ' s battle . And thus ended such a night , and such a triumph , as was never witnessed in Manchester or in England before . A Manchester Man .

A public dinner took place at the far-famed Crown and Anchor . Tavern , Strand , on Monday evening , October 25 . in celebration of the recent radical triumphs . About two hundred persons sat down to an excellent dinner , served up in that style so characteristic of thohbstbfthe Crown gad Anchor .

TtaCHAiayAN then said—The . 'hign ' honour of presiding over that immense assembly had been con * ferrednpon him , and he had no doubt the labour and responsibility of theoffice would be rendered light , by tiie good order that would be maintained . ( Cheers . ) They had met to celebrate a great event , for it was a great event , to find that at the late general election , seventeen yersous returned pledged to the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . ( Great applause . ) But those seventeen gentlemen , be they ever so well inclined , could do nothing without the aid of the
people ; yet , from the correspondence that had bsen read , he feared that many of those gentlemen would forget the pledges they had given . Fortunately , however , they had one on that platform , Feargus O'Connor—( iremendouscheering)—who would by his actions remind them of their pledges , and spur them on . { Loud cheers . ) He thanked them for the honour they had conferred on hvra , a working coal miner , by placing him in so distinguished a situation . He had much pleasure in giving the first sentiment as follows : —
The F-opIe—the only pow « r whoso will can be morally binding as law . May their sovereignty bo speedily established , and nnirenally recognised , as the legitimate basis of equitable government . ¦ Dr Erw rose to respond , loudly applauded , and congratulated them on having some of the fair sex present , and hoped to see the principle of the sentiment carried out to a greater extent , as it must be productive of great good . Although their forefathers frequently toasted the sentiment , thev had yet failed to possess the reality , and the mode to obtain it was by getting the national will represented in the Heuse of Commons . The last election had done more than bad been accomplished since the stern days of Cromwell . The candidates and their
mends had done much to loose the bonds of prejudice , and taught the people to care nothing for Whigs , Tories , or any other faction . What ha understood by liberty was , that each person should be socially , politically , and religiously free—( loud cheers)—and every man should have the opportunity afforded him of stating his opinions fally and freely —( cheers)—and the advocates of those and his principles , should be free from the taint of immorality . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not think « the sovereignty of the prople ' was to be obtained by fighting . The French had fought three days , but were cheated out of their right . ( Hear , hear ) He could , as a man ofFinsbnry , boast of having two representatives—Duncombe and Wakley . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought
those who talked least , did most . He did net like noisy people . It was not bullying that would carry great measures , and if he had six good dishes put before him , he did not care what they were called , whether they were called Complete Suffrage or Charter . ( Murmurs , and loud shouts of' Name and all . ' ) He did not care for a name . He loved the Charter ; but because he was strong , was that any reason he should kick the man who was weak ? Working men had been taught to think ill of the middle classes . Why , that was the class through whom the working classes must get their rights . ( Loud cries of * No , no , ' and confusion . ) He
contended they must apply to those who had the votesthe middle classes . ( Hisses . ) Why , whtie was the man that would not become a middle class man if he could ? He admitted that if the working mea would give up their pots and their pipes , and contribute those sums they now wasted to political purposes , they could do much by those means towards attaining their freedom . ( Cheers . ) He said , let the working and middle classes unite , not as Whigs and Tories , but as the people for one common object . He should like to live to see the day when the beautiful sentiment he had responded to , would be universally recognised , and firmly established . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr "W . P . Roberts rose , enthusiastically cheered , to respond to the second sentiment : — The People's Charter!—and may an enlightened community , appreciating the wisdom and value of it , derate untiringly their energies to its snpport , until it is numbered among the statutes of this great realm . Mr Roberts said he believed that the sentiment just given was known te the whole civilised community . Apologies in abundance had been read from Members of Parliament , and other gentlemen , p'eading other engagements . He . too , had engagements—ay , engagements that would occupy his time morning , noon , and night ; but he was here . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought those gentlemen were not sincere in the expression of their regret . When he became a
Member of Parliament , as he meant to be—( tremendous cheerim ? , )—he should also feel it his duty to mix anungst the people . ( Loud cheers . ) He repeated , those gentlemen did net act honestly in so slighting those by whom they had climbed to power . ( Hear , hear . ) He would tell Dr Epps , that the People ' s Charter was the symbol of popular liberty . ( Loud cheers . ) He would tell him that no name would . do so well as that by which it was baptised . He would remind his audience of the Birmingham gathering , where some said . * We like your principles , bat don't like your name ; ' but the late Rev . Dr Wade made then this famous memorable declaration— ' 'Tis not the name hut your principles they dislike . ' ( Loud cheers . ) And ho , like that rev . gentlemen , called
on them to distrust any man who said he did not like their name . He was happy to see the press represented here ; the press had done him some service , and he would not speak against it . True its representatives did not seem to be particularly busy just now , ( laughter . )—but if they did not find these sentments reported to-morrow they would this time ten years . ( Loud laughter , and great applause . ) At anv rate the gentlemen of the press could not look at this magnificent meeting and say there were only twa hundred and fifty present . ( Great applause . ) But a cry was said to bo wanting ; the Law of Primogeniture , and the Game Laws , had been named : but the only thing the people had to do was , to tell them that the only cry they would raise was the People ' s Charter . ( Great applause . )
Mr P . M'Gbath , who was much applauded , said , many gentlemen who had been returned with democratic characters , had been invited , but where were they ? He believed they had absented themselves because this meeting was too Democratic for them . ( Hear , hear . ) Had this meeting been called for any paltry purpose , they would have been present , and the press would also have had more of its reprcsentatives present , bathe supposed the reporters would say there were only from two hundred to two hundred and fifty persons present . ( Hear , hear . ) The Weekly Dispatch ( groaning ) had most mendaciously asserted that a large meeting , at which ho attended in the town of Chelmsford , and at which there could not have been less than from eight hundred to one
thousand persons present , that there were not more than fortv . ( Awful groaning , and cries of Burn it . ' ) The writer in that paper of those dastardly attacks on our glorious Land Company waa now present ( Great sensation , and cries of' Point him out , ' Tarn him out . ' ) This dastardly character had recently been taken before the magistrates , for being drunk and disorderly , asd had been fined three pounds . ( Hear , hear . ) As he was here , and heard what he ( Mr M'Grath ) said , let him deny it if he could . The sentiment he had to respond to was— ' The People s Charter . ' W . J . Fox , would never have boon returned for Oldham , or George Thompson ,, for
the Tower Hamlets , had it not been for their profession of Chartism . ( Hear , hear , ) Mr M'Grath hero entered into a detail of the principles of Universal Suffrage and Annual Parliaments . Had the people been in possession of the ktter , did the meeling think they would have hsi the ' apologies they had to night ? They had plenty of nostrums nnd nostrum-mongers , but ibey might depend on it that nothing ever would benelit the peop le politically , but the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) He appealed to them to go forw ard for the principle , with the name , for he gloried , it . ( Loud cheers . ) It must be by their own - . exertions they must obtain the Charter . It w > u neither Thompson nor O'Connor that could geUt for them . ( Hear , hear . ) Dr Epps ; had fouo , Uvfith them , because they did net like

We want to do'Ska / with classes , andImast repeat , the men who tell you to trust in this ' class . ' or the other . clas 9 . _ . only wish to keep up the old class-animosities . The speaker then alluded to the present government system of centralisation , going through the leading measures of modern policy : then analysed the system of competition , as tending to rain and enslave the working chases ; and concluded by illustrating how : the . Charter was calculated to 1 D mL e the " * Rhte sna . P P erity of the people . The chairman then gave the fourth sentiment , as follows : —
The D mocratic Gentlemen who have been returned ! May their success accelerate the triumph of Liberty and Justice throughout the world . MrFeabgos O'Connor rose amidst the most hearty cheering , waving of hats , handkerchiefs , & c , which was kept up for a long time . These . demonstrations ol popular applause having at length subsided , Mr O'Connor said he felt he was placed in an awkward position . He was out of place , and his sentiment was out of character . The toast put into his hands should have been ' Our absent friends ' —( laughter)—however , this meeting must teach the conciliatory amongst the working classes a lesson . It was another proof of the kindness of the
Chartists , and the unfaithfulness of the respectables . ( Cheer * . ) -He regretted that Dr Epps had left the meeting . Had he remained he would have asked him whose votes were those that saddled the coun . try with an enormous debt but the middle classes ? Who had deprived the working man of his ri ghts but the middle classes ? The Doctor , too , had said something about interrupting public meetingswho did interrupt ; them but the middle classes ? ( Loud cheers . ) He did not court the press . He cared not for it . Why should a man of conscious rectitude , honour , and integrit y care for it ? He had challenged his enemies to rnoet him , hut they declined meeting him in public . However , with
the aid of the people he would put down the asperity , rancour , and hatred of a venal , time-serving press . ( Great cheering . ) He pointed the finger of scorn at its representatives , and said to them , 'Let my words pass you by until such time as the people shall have stamped such a value as shall make them irresistible . ' ( Loud cheers . ) He asked , where were those who had votes and power in Julywere they not now bankrupts in both fame and fortune ? ( Hear , hear . ) He wished the government to give the people political power , and then throw them on their own resources . ( Hear , hear . ) In allusion to the monetary pressure , Mr O'Connor said money could only be produced b y labour , and
rendered valuable by reproductive labour . He passed through the lanes and alleys of their towns , and-, was . distressed at witnessing so many pallid facesjXbuthe vrenVto ^ fieicountry ' and " witheissed rosy cheeks and stalwart arms , and . he was delighted . ( Great applause . ) He had great cause of complaint against Mr M'Grath . What , would he destroy the Dispatch ? destroy that that gave him so much amusement ? ( Loud laughter . ) If they fouu d poor Mr Boyer drunk in the streets again , let them send to him . He would pay the three pounds with pleasure , as he could not think of having his only source of amusement destroyed . ( Laughter . ) Mr 0 Connor here paid a tribute of respect to the
memory of the late William Cobbett , who hadfai ; hfully predicted the present state of affairs . If France had looked to practical details of liberty , if she had had her Charter , she would not now have to regret her glorious three days . ( Great cheering , ) What had our Charter done ? Why . what the Queen herself could not do—made Sii John Cam Hobhouse a peer , when disqualified for the Commons . It would appear that at this point the qualification commenced for the Upper Hou-e . ( Hear , hear . ) When no longer fit for the people , quite fit for the peerage . ( Cheers . ) A few weeks ago he was sailing up the Rhine , and had a gentle man , a native of Hungary , for a travelling
companion , and his companion gave him the difference between Austrian despotism and English freedom . In England , said he , if you do catch a bare , you are taken up and sent " to prison . In Austria , if we catch a hare , we cook it and have it for our dinner . ( Laughter and cheers . ) In England you pay tne press to tell lies—here we have no press to tell lies . He had seen that where the people possessed land , they were more comfortable under a despotism , than Englishmen were under what was called constitutional freedom . The Economist , a respectable newspaper in its way , had said it was ridiculous of Mr O'Connor to introduce the Small Farm System in England , when it had destroyed his own country .
Why , there was no such a thing as the Small Farm System in Ireland , nor had not been since the destruction of the forty shilling freeholders . The Irish had a great love of their little holdings . One of them , on being asked why he would give £ 20 for land he previously sold for ten—if it was because his forefathers held it—replied not only my fourfathers , but my J ive and six fathers before me had it . ( Laughter and applause . ) But the Economist and other papers knew no more about the subject of the Land , than an Irish pig knew of geometry . ( Laughter . ) He had nine papers on his hack now . Oh ! how it weighed him down . ( Laughter . ) But , it was not enough ; let them triple the number , and
he would he move than a match for them . ( Loud cheers ) The press had made a set at him ; they wished to put him down before he went to Parliament , but they would fail ; backed by the people , he should triumph over all their base machinations . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Capital could not represent labour ; ' As well might the lamb with the tiger lay down , or the dove with the kite unite . ' ¦ There was not one man whose absence he regretted but their Parliamentary champion , Thomas Slingshy Duncombe . . ( Great applause . ) He should be at all times deli g hted to follow him , and sure he was , he would neither mislead riordeceive lis . ( Load cheers . ) If the middleclasses wished to join the
people , they mast not expecttolead , they must go into the shafts together ;—( cheers)—but the moment they got to Whig Cross , they flashed the davk lantern iii your face , and said Guod-niglit , Mr Chartist , ' leaving you "to grope your way along as well as you could . He would start for Manchester to-morrow , and on Wednesday he would be at 'Nottingham , where a great triumph awaited him . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He had been set at by John Bright , and that little bit of knobstick spirituality , little Miall ; hut if he met him , he would puff him away with a single breath of contempt , lie liked to see the wrfthmgs and contortions of the press . It pleased him , it gave him renewed vigour—and furnished
him with some amusement . ( Cheers and laughter . ) He had honoured himsel f by coming there ; he was gratified to know , that not only was he the representative of Nottingham , hut also of the workingmen of the united king d om . ( Loud cheers . ) He had recentl y purchased , for his children , a magnificent estate , of six hundred and eleven acres—( great applause )—in the county of Oxford ; on it was a magmfirjen ' t mansion . He did not intend to pull the mansion dowh ; but on the contrary , put a few acres of laud with it , and put it up for auction , and buy it in for himself ; and at his death , he woulfi will it as a heir-loom for the patriot who should gain the affectioa of the people as his sue-

In nil countries , monarchs aristocracies , priesMioods , andcapitalists are arrayed against the peopleVthe people of every country , therefore , have a common cause , and should , as far as possible , ai * each ether in the straggle tor the recoTery of their comaon rights . The Reform movement in France mast lend to change , which change , J trust . wittbe tor the benefit of the masses ; but I ask why do > not the French insist upon some definite scheme © f reform t JFohave had 'Reform '—a reform which we were assured was to give us ' full , free , and fair representation , ' but , alas , we found Whig promises
• Like Dead-Sea fruits that tempt the eye . And turn to' ashes on the lips- ;' and so will the French find the win < fypromisesef their Liberals , if they trust merely in the pavrol-ery of ' Reform . ' There can be no real reform short of vesting the national sovereignty in the hands of the entire pcopfe . The principle of the constitution of ' 93 raust be a realised fact . In Germany , Democracy is steadily advancing . ' Forward—always forward , * is themotto of the German Democrats , in vain may Frederick William try to stay the waves of p regress by his wretched substitute for a constitution . la vain may
he cry to the roaring waters— ' Peace , be still . ' The ocean of the world has , ere now , taught kings their littleness—asthe Persian despot and the Danish royal pirate learned—and the democratic torrent will not the less prove the impotence of royalty . Behold how gloriously the spirit of fraternity is wingifig her way over the nations , dropping in her flight the seeds of union and . love—witness the sympathy of Prussians for their proscribed brethren of Posen . Will the Prussian king dare to murder the condemned Poles ? Let nim beware of the effect ? of such a tragedy , ' Be may have learned from Matorv
that—• The patriot ' s blood ' s the seed of freedom ' s tree !' For one Pole put fy death on the scaffold , a thousand Prussians will rise to take his place , and propagate Polish principles . When the nations of the . continentread of Nicholas and his sons being . velcoraedto these shores , and feasted in Victoria ' s halls , let thorn not confound England ' s contemptible government with the people of England . News has been lately received from Warsaw of the deaths of several eminent patriots confined in the citadel oi that capital , and the madness of others- 'rendered insane by the tortures to which they had been subjected . The Reforme recently described a new atrocity . It appears by a letter from St Petersburg !) , that until lately the exiles condemned to Siberia , were sent to that frozen hell ia ordinary carriages , but now they
are transported in vehicles each containing a dozen cells , ranged in two rows , with a passage between them , in which are three soldiers with loaded guns . Thtse carriages travel day and night . The journey occupies three months , and the prisoners are allowed to breath the fresh air only once , for ten minutes , in twenty-four hours . The result has been that two out of every ten have expired on the road ! Would that we had power , and could only catch his Northern bearship , he should try how he would like a three month's journey in one of his own cellular carriages . Or what , perhaps , would be still better , we might put him into a-moveable cage , and exhibit him as ' the most extraordinary curiotity , all the way from Russia—the last of the Autocrats . ' ( Loud cheers . ) It has been a cheering sight to witness the failure ot
one of the assassination of Poland—foiled by the energy of the Italian people . Here let me remark in allusion to what has fallen fromDr Epps , that the doctor ' s much vaunted moral force would have availed the Pope but little , if he had not had physical force at the back of it . ( Hear , hear . ) The Austrians would have laughed to sepra the Pope ' s protests , but that backing up those protests was the armed civic guard . ( Cheers . ) Mr Harney then at some length repudialed and condemned the views expressed by Dr Epps , relative to the middle classes , the name of the Charter , & c „ and concluded with an earnest appeal to the men of London to mako that night ' s meeting the recommencement of the ngiation , which should never be abandoned , until the Charter—name and all-was made the law of the land . Mr Stallwood then gave : —
Health and happiness to William Dixon , and long may he live to preside over meetings congratulatory of the paople't triumph . Mr Robkrts , in supporting the scEtiment , said he had known Mr Dixon for many years , as a worker in the good cause . The sentiment was adopted amidst loud acclamations . Mr Dixon responded , and declared the meeting dissolved .
