      Friends , Lam More Than Rejoiced To Find...

      Friends , lam more than rejoiced to find that my appeal to you , in last week ' " Star" has not been without its effect , as I have received letters from Bolton , Preston , Halifax , Huddersfield , Leeds , Manchester , Oldham , "Wakefield , Barnsley , Ashton , Stalyhrid ge , Bristol , Bath , _Newcastle , Birmingham , Sheffield , Notting ham , Derby , Leicester , Merthyr Tydvil , Northampton , Norwich , Glasgow , Aberdeen , and several towns in Scotland , from old and well tried Chartists , all expressing a firm resolution rather to starve or die than give up the — o r

      Charter for any other measure . They state that this being "Whitsun "week , was an _nnpropitaous time for procuring a general expression of public opinion ; hut they add that they think they speak the opinions not onl y ofa majority , but of the "whole of the "working classes . Some parties -write that they , have sent their resolutions for publication in the " Northern Star ; " hut those I have not seen . However , the confident assurance that I have received from the important Chartist districts inspires me with something more than hope for the success of the glorious cause . I have also received the following letter from

      _Manches-47 , Upper lledlock-street , Ilulme , May 23 rd , 1849 . HoxonnED Sib , —I am authorised bj our Chartist Council of Manchester locality , assembled for tbe Special purpose Of devising tbe most effectual means of _supporting yon in tbe House of Commons , through the medium of procuring and forwarding petitions in favour of and for the attainment of " The People ' s Charer . " But we regret to inform you of our _inabilily to obtain anything like essential support by way of numerical strength previous to the 5 th of June , the day , according to your notice to the House , -when the above subject will be introduced to the British Parliament . Wc therefore beg most respectfully to know if it -wonld not be

      ex-• _tlien " _uiig _K _^ ra _^ more formidable and capable of procuring andTendering you more important support , four early answer "will greatly oblige , Tours respectfully , on behalf of the Council , G . H . Smith , Chairman . To Feargus O'Connor , Esq . ., M . P . My answer to the above was , " That Manchester being the head-quarters of Chartism , I considered myself bound to acquiesce , though

      rductantty , and therefore I trust that the intermediate time w ill he profitably and energetically devoted to the good old cause ; " as you may rest assured , that from the Charter , and fromthe Charter alone , can the working classes expect any , the slightest justice . As I predicted , in my Letter of last week , our Manchester friends have again baited the Chartist trap ; their chairman at the Financial Reform meeting having signified the intention of the MONEY LEAGUE once more

      to infest Hie country -with lecturers . You must bear in mind , that I predicted this dodge before it was announced ; and you must further bear in mind , that their first crop of lecturers to p reach Free Trade was enlisted from the Chartist ranks , and for the very best of all possible reason—because it was the only school from which they could secure talent and eloquence . But I trust that the bait will not take a second time , if we are to have a second crop of such

      "HIGH WAGES , CHEAP BREAD , AND PLENTY TO DO" as the result . Here let me insert two letters bearing upon the subject of the employment of Chartist lecturers , the one from Thomas Ciark , and the other from Samuel Kydd . This is Claek ' s letter : — 144 , High Holborn , London , May 2 Gth , 1849 . Sir , —It is now nearly six years since I first had the honour of being appointed one ofthe directors of the Chartist movement , in connexion with yourself , and up to this time a harmony bas subsisted between us which has not been interrupted by one

      single event of importance , and which I had thought was likely to continue , as I was not aware of anything having transpired on my part to warrant its termination . It is , therefore , with more reluctance than I care to express , that I feel myself called upon to require from you au explanation as to -whether or not 1 am one of the persons alluded to I » y you in your letter and leading article ( headed * * ' The Ohartei * , " ) which have appeared in the Star of this week . This explanation is , I think , due to me , because if I am one ofthe persons to whom you have alluded , then , as a matter of simple justice , I -require of you to state as much in the Star , accompanying such statement with a specific charge , at

      the same time adducing such proof as you may think neccssarv for its substantiation . I shall expect you to permitme to submit my defence throngh thc same medium . This proceeding is so obviously fair , that it does not appear to me that you can object to it , if I am one of the persons that have been arraigned bv you . "Whether I am one ofthe persons or not , or rather tlie person against whom the articles have been directed , standing as I do at this moment before the country as the only person belonging to our bodu who has attended and addressed any public meeting which has been convened by the " Parliamentary and _^ Financial Keform Association , " I cannot escape being stigmatised as the " deserter , treason if

      to whom you have imputed such rank ; applied tome , itis equalled in its injustice only by its cruelty ! How can the Chartist body think otherwise than that I am ofthe accused when they see in parallel columns of the paper your leading article , ami the report of the meeting at whieh 1 was present and spoke , especially as _tvitii a knowledge of this fact vou have not made my conduct an exception ? To yon , " Mr . O'Connor , this may be a matter of small moment , —to me it is important ! Por more than ten years I hare , under varied circmnstauces , served in the Chartist ranks—not effectually , perhaps , butntaUtmiesfaitltfitll y ~ -nothesit : _itwg . when I have thought the " interest ofthe cause has

      required it , to expose myself to popular hatredsmiling at imputations the most foul ! disregarding the fiercest invective and personal molestation ; and now , if I am destined to fall by your hand , for I know well your power and influence with the Chartist body , my anxiety shall be that my manhood shall survive me in thc movement , and that the reputation for political integrity , which I have been at some pains to acquire , shall remain unimpaired , no matter at what cost I may have to purchase its defence ! However , in the portraiture which you have drawn I defy any mortal to recognise even the smallest resemblance of Your obedient servant , Thomas Clack .

      Peargus O'Connor , 1 L P . 2 _xow , I think my friend Clauk bas so completely answered himself in the last passage of his letter , that but for my esteem for him and regard for his feelings iurther comment would be unnecessary . He says , "However , in the portraiture "which you have drawn , I defy any mortal to recognise even the smallest semblance of your obedient servant , —Thomas CiAKK . " _Xow , to this I will onl y add , that it would be difficult to discover any semblance between Thomas Clark and the original from wliich the portrait was taken . And Clark should remember , that on our return fromthe Pop lar meeting , he mentioned the name of an old

      Chartist lecturer being engaged in lecturing for Financial Reform , when I replied , tbat I ¦ would have a slap at him that "week . Clark bases the intended application ofthe rebuke to hiin , npon the fact that the article containing it and the report of the meeting that be attended , are in parallel columns , while he appears to be ignorant of the fact , that I have as little to do-with the arrangement ofthe matter in thc " _Northern Star" newspaper as he has . However , as I am as anxious to preserve the character and usefulness of men serviceable to the Chartist cause as tliey can be themselves , I beg to repeat of Clark what I stated to the men of Sheffield , that I do not think there is in the Chartist body a more sincere or able

      man . The following is Ejdd ' s letter : — Hamilton , May 29 th , 1 S _40 . _ilv Dear Sin , —I have this morning read your letter in the Star of Saturday last , in one of the _paragraphs of which you write— "I find thatmany enthusiastic Chartists are catering for the office ot Financial Keform lecturers , finding that wc are too poor to sustain them . " The allusion is in general terms , and I might omit noticing it . But as I have lectured on " Financial Reform" among other public questions , in most of the chief towns in England , and In Glasgow , in Scotland , and havins , some two months since , arranged with the Chartist Committee of liverpool to re-deliver two lectures on general subjects , mcluding Financial Reform among the

      I am , Dear Sir , your obedient Servant , To F . O ' Connor , Esq .. Samuel Ktdd . Now I do notthink Mr . _Ktdd ' s letter re quires one word of comment beyond this , which furnishes a complete justification for all Chartists dealing with the question of Financial Heform . It Is , th a t I , too , have invariabl y directed the Chartist mind to a consideration of the extensive Financial Keform that the Charter would l ~ ad do . The only difference between meand ihe Financial Reformers being , that the Chartist Keform would be beneficial tothe labourer , while the Financial Reform , would but serve the capitalists . Now , I trust I have given both my friends a full and Feargus _O'Coxnor .

      The Odious Land Plan. Fbidat, Elevex O- ...

      THE ODIOUS LAND PLAN . Fbidat , Elevex o- Clock . I have just received the following welcome letter from one of the honestest men in this world : I should have had it yesterday , in time for comment , but it is marked on the cover , " miss-sent to Uxbridge . '' Now , Cullingham was my foreman from the first day to the last , and had £ 2 15 s . a week , and knew nothing ofthe land . The reader will remember that I stated in the winter , that those who sold would regret it in summer ; well , in his letter we have proof of it . I have not time for more this week , next week

      I shall make a word of comment . Feargus O'Connor . " Snig ' s End , May 30 , 1849 . " Honoured and Respected Sir , — I wish you would spare time to visit us at Snig ' s End . I am sure you would be highly delighted . The whole of the estateis really beautiful , and the crops are most promising . You cannot form a faint idea of the splendour of the place . The allottees have done wonders in the way of cultivation . A more industrious number of men I never saw , and , what is better still , tbey are all in high spirits , and there is not one o f them

      but feels quite confident he shall be able to get a good living . As to my allotment , it surprises all beholders . There is scarcely a carriage or a vehicle of any description but stops to look at it . Several persons who travel the country , say that I have the finest crop of peas in the county . If you recollect , I stated to the Committee in the House of Commons , that I should not like to take a hundred pounds for my allotment at that time ; no money would induce me to part with it-now , as I never knew what happiness was before , certainly have had more

      real enjoyment this iast six months than ever I had in six times the same length of time ; the days are never too long , and it is really surprising how fast the time passes away with us ; no one can tell the pleasure we feel in watching the progress of our crops . If we have no potato blight this year , every man will be in a proud position . I often wish you could hear them express their feelings * and their gratitude for bringing them fromthe factory , and surrounding them with the beauties of nature ; and those who have worked at trades express

      the same f eelings , and assert that tbey hope they shall never he obliged to go back to work at their trades again . I hear that many of those who have sold and left bitterly regret the step they have taken . One of them—Mr . Brown , of Nottingham—has offered five pounds more than he sold for to comeback again . This is just what I anticipated , and what I have told many of them wonld he the case . As for myself , I declare solemnly , that I would sooner have a pound and my little f arm , than four pounds a week and lose the pleasure I now have .

      " I hope , Sir , it will not be long before we shall have the pleasure ofa visit from you . The allottees have been talking about having a day of rejoicing , and they would like to have it the day you could pay them a visit . " Perhaps you -would be good enoug h to drop me a line a few days before you think you can come , as they would like to meet you on the road , and escort yon to the Estate . " I remain , " Your obedient humble servant , "Henry Cullingham . " To Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P . "P . S . —The apple-trees are laden with bloom . "

      _NATIONAL _LAND AND LABOUR BANK . I g ive the following letter from Mr . Price , and , as it will be seen , with his own consent . It -will spealc for itself , and requires no comment from me . Feargus O'Connor . 493 , _Ifew Oxford-street . London , 2 Sth May , 1810 . Mt DEAn 0 'Co ** _*" vor , One of our Depositors hast just withdrawn £ 20 and interest , wliich he did , as he says , in order

      to enable him to win a _ivaffer laid him liy a friend , who asserted that he could not get it on application . The money being , as usual , promptly remitted when due , he wins his wager , and is about to send the money back . I had no idea of the existence of the bet until he wrote about it after he had received the money . I hope his friend , whoever he is , has placed his money where its security need not be tested by an appeal to the betting ring . This is an amusing episode in the annals of " Banking , for which , as manager , I _comess I was wholly unprepared . tor ht to divide the stakes

      I think our Deposioug with me ! I was at O'Connorville yesterday , with two friends ( of whom Harry n- —¦ ' was one ) , and we were delighted with the appearance ofthe only two allotments which we had time to examine . _Avison _, a fine hale old man of seventy-six , has < rot his Land in - very good order , and seemed perfectly contented with his situation , ne has no assistance whatever on His two acres , but everything looks neat and healthy . _Xot having a wife , " his interior arrangements " are not so perfect as his opposite neighbour ' s , but as far as his Land goes it does him credit . He was . as you probably know , sixty years a carder by trade , than which , perhaps , no occupation is more

      _unhealthy , but in all my parish I could not find a labouring man of twenty- Ave more hearty , or more active than this veteran of seventy-six . ne has a fine young sow and pigs , which I am told his neighbours seem to want , as there is no money stirring in the district , and the allottees find difficulty in selling their produce . The other allotment ( a married man's ) which we examined , was equally well cultivated—perhaps a little more forward—but here there was the assistance of a son , and ( particularly ) of a wife , who was thc picture of neatness and comfort . This allottee had been ill for fifteen years , hut three months of liis new life set lum completely up , and he is now , I think , safe to add ten or twent y years to _fe _^ _ife . He liftd . no stock ,

      but was getting his buildings ready for them , His is a two-acre share , and he asserted deliberately that he could maintain himself , his wife , a family , arid a cow ( if he had one ) , and , perhaps , a pig or two , oft that quantity of land . I never doubted it ; but it was satisfactory to hear this after a trial of two years . This man has had only the aid money ( £ 15 ) to begin upon , but both his land and house arranger ments exhibit no want whatever of any other capital than his own and his wife ' s ' capital of health and strength . Of course , I was not so much struck with _O'Connorville as with tbe other estates , but there is quite enough done there to show what the latter ought to return to the holders .. J did not hear a single complaint , and only a mere allusion to a pump _boui' _* : out of order , which seemed to cause some want of water . But this ought' to be rectified by the allottees , unless you have provided a sinking

      fund to keep up such public accommodation in good repair . All they appear to want at this place ii stock , and the means of getting more water . Botli these must be the work of time , although very little ingenuity could supply the last defect in-half an hour . As to stock , twenty shillings laid btit now in young pigs , would place every man on the pro ; perty in clover by next winter . A fat pig or . two next Christmas , bought now at eight or ten ; weeks old for ten shillings , should weigh at least . ' .

      Death Of John Fielden. It Is This Week O...

      DEATH OF JOHN FIELDEN . It is this week our painful duty to announce the decease of John Fielden , late M . P . for Oldham , the consistent and unflinching advocate of the rights and liberties of the labouring classes . We could have better spared a better man—indeed , we would cheerfully have given all the advocates of long hours of labour as a substitute for our departed friend , and not have shed a tear for them .

      The Miners Of The North. A Public Meetin...

      THE MINERS OF THE NORTH . A public meeting of the Miners of this district was held on Saturday last , at the Scaffold-hill , a place well known to the popular party in Northumberland , whose generous proprietor has invariably allowed the working classes to meet and discuss their grievances , whether of a social or political character , a privilege they will appreciate , seeing that in times of excitement every means are resorted to by the owners of property to prevent the assemblage of the people thereon . Threats are made to publicans that their licences will he withheld if meetings are allowed in their houses , and to the tenant farmers a similar notice produces the same effect ; hence the usual resort for public meetings is the amphitheatrically constructed place , " Scaftold-hill . "

      At a few minutes to twelve o clock the workmen from the various Collieries wero arriving at the spot , flags waving in the breeze , and cheering voices animating each other , as sympathy and a fellow feeling struck the chords of the heart , bespeaking the evident satisfaction that pervaded the minds of nil at again being freed from the slavery of tlie last five years , and daring the _Nimrods ofthe day ; assembling once more to investigate , examine , and ascertain the best means to adopt to redeem the advantages , privileges , and benefits of which they had been deprived since that glorious struggle in

      1844 . " # Mr . A . Stobes , being called upon to preside , addressed the Miners in his usual fluent and easy style , particularly drawing their attention to the certainty of the eye of the authorities being upon them , hence the necessity of being guarded in tlieir conduct and demeanour so as to keep out of the trammels of the law . He then called upon the agents present to address the meeting , and to give a report of their success and prospectsT C . DARDr ( from Trimden ) , in a speech replete with sound sense and reason , detailed the varied success of his labours in the attempt to organise the distant collieries , and showed , that although all were not ready to join the union , a vast majority

      appeared ripe for the conflict . The reductions , which were becoming more extensive and general , were compelling the men to seek for salvation in the ranks of the union ; and his opinion was , that could the funds he made adequate to enlist more agents in the cause , that where they were enabled to get hundreds , thousands would join them . Mi * . Embletox followed , and in his usual marked manner described the position wliich the union was in at most of the places he had visited . The general cry was another visit next week . But from the faet of their being 120 Collieries in the Tyno , Wear , and Tees , and only three agents to visit them , such visits were " few and far between , " consequently the good seeds which had been sown in many cases

      withered and died before they could come that way again . Mr . E . then gave an outline ofthe plan , embracing the 120 Collieries , and apportioning ten Collieries to a district , and one agent to represent such district ; to go to one Colliery each day for five days in the week , thus giving each Colliery a visit once a fortni g ht , and at thc end of that time thc various district agents to meet and report progress , and adopt such measures as the majority of the several Collieries requested , —in' fact , those agents to answer all the purposes of delegates . The reasons assigned were , that the tyranny of thc employers would not allow any man to act as a delegate , or if he did , then his discharge from work was

      certain , thereby engendering a fear among the workmen to take such office , and thus thc progress of the cause was obstructed . He then gave in detail the finances necessary , together with the salaries of the officers , which , although objected to by a few , seemed to give general satisfaction . M . Jude then moved the following resolution : — " That in the opinion of this meeting the most strenuous exertions ought to be made to propagate thc principles and objects of the union among all the Collieries of Northumberland and Durham . Mr . T . Bell seconded the above resolution , and illustrated the necessity of prompt measures being adopted , by many pertinent remarks and observations .

      The resolution was then carried by acclamation . It was then resolved : — " To engage three more agents , and to increase the subscriptions to double their present amount . " After which , three cheers were given for the cause , and the meeting dissolved , all and each being well pleased with the prospects ofthe association . Delegate Meetixo at M . Bamias ' . A . Stokes , chairman , opened . the meeting by directing their attention to a speedy despatch of business , as there were delegates from a distance of thirty miles , and but little railway conveyance . The monies being handed in , and the wages ofthe several officers paid , the next business was to apnoint the route of tlie agents , which presented

      considerable difficulty , from the fact of so many collieries requiring their services ; eventually , it was agreed , that the three agents should take tlie Wear and Tees Collieries , and that M . Jude be requested to visit the various places on the Tyne . It was also agreed , that nominations for two more agents must come in at the next delegate meeting , which would take place on the Oth of June , at the Cock Inn , Head of the Side , Newcastle , at eleven o'clock , a . m . The next resolution was : " That it be laid before the different Collieries the utility of holding a delegate meeting at Durham on that day month , so that the expenses of those distant delegates might be thereby lessened . *' Collieries in the

      Several letters were read from Wear and Tees , requesting an agent to be sent to them , and detailing the various oppressions of their employers ; also one from D . Swallow , agent in Lancashire , requesting the opinion of the delegates ofthe utility of an exchange of lecturers for three months . It was finally arranged that the latter request be made known to the miners , and their opinions broug ht to the next delegate meeting . Thc secretary was then ordered to communicate with those collieries in arrears of contributions , requesting the immediate payment of the same' . The business being concluded , the delegates separated , pledging themselves to use increased exertions' to organise thc Miners in their respective Collieries .

      Bbner.—At A Meeting Held At Mr. Bclfield...

      _BBner . —At a meeting held at Mr . Bclfield's Temperaiiee-house , Green-street , on Sunday evening , May ? 27 th , the following address was unanimously adopted and recommended to be forwarded for insertion in tho Northern Star : —

      • TO FEABGUS O ' CONNOR , I _3 Q ., M . P . Dear Sir , —We , the members of tlie Derby Cliavter Association , who hare so long contested in the field of politics for the achievement of tbe People ' s . Charter , beg to assure you—our noble nnd disinterested friend— that ire arc still as anxious as ever to persevere in tlie great national struggle of right against might . The longer we live the more strongly convinced we become , that nothing short ° f Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , E qual Electoral Districts , Annual Parliaments , So Property Qualification , anil Payment of Members , can erer successfully remove our social and . legislative grievances , and insure the comfort and prosperity of all . _JIoiv mad and vain we should be , then , to abandon or give up one jot of tho Charter -for the tinkering delusion ana humbug of political economists : to do so would be to retrrigrade . . " Onward and we conquer ! Backward and we fall !

      _| The Charter , and No Surrender !" is still emblazoned upon our banner—nor shall contentment ever make us her converts until our favourite Charter is granted entire . We trust , dear Sir , thatyou -will stffl continue nt the head of our movement . You have laboured hard with , us for many years—through all seasons and all weathersthrough sunshine and shadow—through tempest and calm - jgW _* no _. oecasion have we ever had _entuejg _^ oubt _^ ow and _prejudlcMoFtnt _^ _amelito _^^ actuated by . selfishncss arid mischief , are ever endeavouring to weaken our ranks ; if we ,. only are determined to carry our objects , we shall yet live to see the day when the injuries they would inflict npon you and yours wUl return , perhaps * with treble weight , upon their own heads . We admit that you have much to contend vrith—none , perhaps , so much ,- and the living martyrdom you are ever and anon undergoing , would almost justify youin the desertion of the cause which we believe _Ues so near and dear to your heart ; but we hope , dear Sir , that your untiring zeal and patience , your inimitable fortitude and patriotism , will enable you to set at nought all tlie machinations of your enemies , and that you Mill remain our faithful leader and immutable friend .

      Your services , liko T . S . Duncombe ' s , both in and out of parliament , are valuable , and should therefore be prized . A million voices can proclaim this—a . million hearts do feel it—and tlie , ' man who would attempt to refute it , must surely be a strange being , encompassed by strange circumstances , and composed of strange _material ; and—strange fact—there are sucli strange beings in the world—men who are too ungenerous to appreciate a good action , and too subtle to acknowledge the truth ; but time and toil work wonders , and , erelong , these men and their manners may cease to exist . Persecution , in the most complicated form , may reign for awhile ; but the good deeds of good men must ultimately triumph . Be not , then , dear Sir—wc once more request you—disheartened by the errors and disaffections of a few who profess to call themselves Chartists , but , in reality , are no Chartists at all . If some are against you , many are for you . Hid defiance to all your opponents—still direct and regulate pur movements until the objects for which we are contending are conceded by our legislative authorities . Assurin

      g you , dear Sir , again , tliat we place the fullest confidence in your lendership , we beg to subscribe ourselves your , faithful followers , v The CnARTisTS of _Dsunr . Signed on behalf of the Association , W . Lewis Faike , Corresponding Sec . P . S . —We have adopted the petition here , and have it signed by a goodly number of inhabitants . We intend to forward it to Messrs . Hey worth and Bass for presentation . We hope that every town will do its duty , and then we shall realise some amount of success for our exertion and pains . W . L . F . Bradford . —A camp meeting was held on Bradford-moor , on Sunday last , Mr . T . Wilcox in the chair . The meeting was well-attended , and was addressed by Messrs . Alderson , Steel , North , and Firth . From the spirit evinced at this meeting , the people are determined to agitate for the Charter , whole and entire .

      _ _Nonwicn . —At the weekly meeting of the Chartist and Land members ofthe Norwich district , after reading the horrible revelations from Ireland , the following resolution was agreed to : — "That this meeting sympathise with our Irish brethren in their horrible sufferings and distress , but believing that nothing less than the principles contained in the People ' s Charter can or will remove that state of destitution , which is fast approaching to this island , therefore we pledge ourselves to stand by the Charter , whole , unmutilatcd , and entire . '' Mertuyb Tvdvii _.. —Having seen an appeal from our noble and honourable general and patriotic father , as to our feelings touching the mutilation of the old . inhnal , we ( the Chartists of Merthyr Tydvil )

      openly and publicly declare that nothing short of the whole hog , bristles and all , will satisfy us .- Wc are preparing an open-air public meeting , to be held next Thursday evening , to adopt the same . Several attempts have been made in this towD , within the last four or five months , to introduce a three-legged animal to us , but when they found us determined to manfully oppose the trash , they never came out to a public meeting , but endeavoured to procure the assistance of the Chartist leaders ; the bait , however , failed to take effect .

      reason to believe the working classes of Brighton are decidedly in favour of thc People ' s Charter to any other movement , convinced that no reforms can bo beneficial to the people until they are represented in the Commons' House of Parliament ; and wc are further determined not to assist in any middle class ' clap-trap' movement , but adhere to the ' whole hog—bristles , snout , name and all , ' ' The People ' s Charter and no surrender ' .

      Mr. Ktdd's Tour. To The Editor Of The No...

      MR . _KTDD'S TOUR . to the editor of the _nohtherx star . Dear Sir , —On Monday , the 21 st ult , I attended an aggregate meeting of the Edinburgh Chartists , held in a large and commodious chapel , connected with the United Presbyterian body . Tlie object of the meeting was to discuss the suffrage , and to consider thc organisation of the democracy of Edinburgh . The latter object was for the time abandoned . The llovr-Mr . lJuncanson , of Falkirk , moved the adoption ofthe National Petition , in a speech of great power , and singular for its lucid arrangement . The reverend gentleman said , hc was surprised that any Christian could profess to have read tlie doctrines taught by Christ , and embodied in the writings of Christ and his apostles , and refuse to grant thc suffrage to the people , or object to the People ' s

      Charter , as a document . I wonder what thc pious and godly Harry , Bishop of Exeter , can say to that . Truly , there must be a great mistake somewhere . The Rev . Mr . Shaon , Unitarian , seconded the adoption of the petition , remarking that the education of the people and the suffrage were closely connected . The existence or acknowledgment of rights implied duties , and he hoped that the full import of both words would be remembered . Mr . Frazer followed , and , in a long speech , argued that tho people hud ever been the first lenders of reforms , that something more was needed than an extension ol * thc suffrage ; social reform was as great a desideratum as political change , and most assuredly tho working classes of this country would never retrograde . Mr . Menzies , the chairman , conducted the business

      in a most becoming and liberal spirit , and all passed offagreeably . On the evenings of Tuesday , Wednesday , and Thursday , I lectured in the Democratic Hall , Trongate , Glasgow , and on Friday had the honour oi being entertained at a soiree , by my old friends , the Chartists of that city . It is no unpleasant _reflection in my life to remember , that I should ho thus honoured by the men with whom i struggled nine years ago , an enjoyment enhanced _consSicr-iibly by the fact , that after many tossings and _crossiags , we met to declare our adhesion to tiie old cause-. Such a meeting . was like making a landmark iu one ' s life . Mr . Paul presided . . Messrs . Sherrington , Brown , and others , conducted thc arrangements , the singing was good , and the songs w . eie some of auld Scotland ' s Choicest gems .

      On the _cveninffs of Saturday and _Msnilny , I lectured _atCampstc and Hamilton , and-lecture . hem again this evening ( Tuesday ) , by _special invitatioa from the audience who listened to . my simple s _;^ - in _^ s on the cvenuag of yesterday .. There are several subjects wMch call for rear-ark , but I dust reserve tliem _fov-a future occasioa . I sail for Liverpool this wee ' s , and all letters for sne must be addressed to the- care of Mr . _"Parrell , Temperance _* Hotel , G 2 _, _ltichiaond-row . I will leave Liverpool early on Wednesday , so those wishing to write to me will do well _tc write in timo . lain , , as ever , youva truly , Hamilton , May 20 th . . Samuel _Kyod . !

      FOOD FOR THE VICTIMS OF WTflG TYRANNY , AND AMUSEMENT FOR THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . . A festival , consisting often ; concert , and ball , was hold on Wednesday evening , May _DOth , at the South ¦ _T ? " - ' } -- * Blackfriars-road , for the benefit ot the " victims . After a numerous party had partaken of tea , which was well served up , Mr , Walter Cooper was called to the chair , and said : _tte have met to evince our adherence to truth and freedom , . 13 contained in tiitf _s-reat cause of democracy throughout the world , " and we have something to do to prepare tho minds of the people for that great change of which wc are the advocates . He was much amused with an article that appeared in the Morning Chronicle the other day on Communism . It described Communism to mean " that those who had no property , were to tnko from thoso who had . " ( Laughter and applause . ) Now , Communism and Chartism had as much to do with destroying or taking : other people ' s pro-I FOOD FOR THE VICTIMS * OV _WTfW ,

No wonder tbat we grumbled _soins-times _, because it was oi class ' government , , and , governed for a class only .- l _& t we did _filiink that justice was better than * charity , and if w _? - had' cur rights , we should noS require charity from ' - any one .

Tiie first _sen-| timent was— " The people ; . the- _so-arce of all

      political power . " Mr . I * . "M'Ghath , in ris-iug . _to-ssyport this sentiment , said , the sentiment breathed an aspiration tha * appeared to be hinging-on- the mind and heart of the whole world . ( IIoar , \ heai _* .. ) . It was too latenow _to-ask why it was so . Wir had no _infatuated old Tories now ready to _declare- that tlie people were- merely the slaves of others-,, having no rights of tlieir own ; in former times- he laid attended _meetincs convened for discussion ,, and heard eloquent Tories make such an assertion , _bnet now thev wouliJ ho ashamed to do so , _alliadmitiesJ the ri ght , but said it was not expedient ,, aud- the great question was—how and when shouhhthe _people become the-source of all political _powen . , II < rbeii ® v « l with their dwrman , that it would _bs by mean * of

      knowledge , and when they understood ! theii- _rights they would have them . Then spread tlie-truth * _» f Democracy—kfc them be deepened , widoned ,. audi illuminated , and success must _follow :. ( iLoml sheers . ) We sometimes denounced the _middle-ciass men as wrong _dieers , but we should nevar- forget tkit oii the memorable 10 th of April that more than half the staves were wielded liy the stalwart . i « ns of working men . He believed the _objeot they sought could only he obtained hy the spread of Chartist principles , and hence they ought not . to- be- satisfied with the few advocates who stood on-their , platforms , but become themselves the exponents-of their principles . ( Hear , hear . ) He would _1-o-asliamed to be either a Whig or a Tory—but ho _glariod- in being a Chartist—(" Cheers)—because Chartism did not stop to ask whether a man resided im a . palace or a cottage , but extended rights on the * ground that

      tlie seekers for those rights were men-,, and in this England of ours there should be no such-a degraded animal as a slave . ( Hoar , hear . ) So-long as the people were-disunited , so long wonldi they be degraded , and now shackles be forged for ollem . He judged a government by the condition ; of the people under it , and where he found an ignorant , depraved , and brutal people , tliere did he find a bad government . Look to Ireland—seo- the people starving by thousands in tlio midst of plt'iity , and id a genial climate , and on a prolific soil *—( 'hear , hear ) —and when fie found the people well taught—well fed—well clothed—contented , happy , , and free , there did he find a good government ; but this he feared would never " be until such times as-the people really were the source of all political power . ( Hear , hear . )

      Tho Chairman said , the next sentiment was the toast of the evening : —" A speedy release to all political prisoners . " Mr . Stallwood , in pleading for a general' amnesty , reminded bis audience tliat Frost , Williams-,. Jones , Cuftcy , Lacy , Ernest Jones , West ,. Bonovan , J . Shaw , Bezer , and the other victims , wore banished and incarcerated , not so much for tlio violence of tlieir language , as from thc fact that tliey were advocates of , and active disseminatorsof , the great truth that the " people were the source of all power ;"

      and he , for one , did notthink the people would be free from persecution and prosecution until tlie people had not only obtained , but consolidated political and social rights . ( Loud cheers .. ) : lie could not hold out muciriiopes of . igeneral . amnesiy until the Charter become law—in the nioautinu- it was their duty to assuage tlio wounded feelings of their much wronged , incarcerated , and banished friend' -, by administeridg to the wants and comforts of tlieir wives and families ; and he did hope-all that were in Work would not fail to contribntu- thoir weekly

      mites to the aid of those whose-husbands and fathers had fallen in thc cause . With this feeling he had much pleasure in submitting the sentiment entrusted to him . ( Loud cheers . ) On thc motion of Messrs . _M-Guaih and John Ahxott , a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , who acknowledged tho compliment . —The Hall was then cleared for danc'iig—a . large accession having been made to the company . The band struck up the inspiring " Marseillaise ,. " which was sung by Mr . Side , thc whole audience joining ia chorus ; after which quadrille and _conti-6 dance succeeded each other in rapid succession in the hall , and song and recitation in . the concert room , until early morning , much to the delight and amusement ofthe party—and , wo- hope , with great profit to the National Victim Committee .
