Men of Stockport , you have not been-the most backward of your order in carrying out the LAND PLAN , and , still more glorious , ycur generous donation to-Chartism proves that it has not destroved vour love of liberty .

To Mr T. A., Barnsley. •Sib,—I Take The....
TO MR T . A ., BARNSLEY . Sib , —I take the . letter which I here print to be « that of Thomas _Aeklam . and I shall _ * mak « g uch comments upon is as it richly deserves . _Heress the letter : — TIIE LAND SOCIETY . _Babssibs , 29 th June , 1 S 47 . Sir , —A number of persons , I among the rest , not being able to a-certain the mode of conveyance , and what kkid of security members will have when they are located , I have been desired to request a _sa-lution from you in next week ' s Star . And , as I am informed tbere are members who wish to sell Out , andotherewho decline paying up , under the idea that they will hare no personal security whatever
and be _liable not only for the money advanced by the bank , but for the expenses , losses or misappropriation in _conducting the society , even when the mortgage is paid off , it is hoped you will consider it worthy of your attention , and , as it is presumed to be one of the main points , that you will either < jWe the required information , or direct us where to obtain it . The questions tbat present themselves to me are : How is the property conveyed ? to each member , or the Seciety in trust ?
i If to tbe Society in trust , how far is each j member liable ? i If liable to expenses , losses , & c _, in conducting the \ Society , h he liable to all , or is the exact amount of liabilities defined in such deed ? When a party has paid off the money advanced , is ; the property conveyed to him singly , free from all incumbrances , or is _' _lie still liable , as a member of the ; Society , to _itaikbls , _fcc . ? i If liable , is the amount set forth ? j I write this not doubting the integrity ef the pro-! moters , but wishing that every n * , e * JAl '' i ** may see _: what is his own , and what is another ' s , and that he
! may know that tlicrc is a security provided lor biro _t to place him at the will of no man . ' You will see the point alluded to , and . if the ques-! tions are not pnt right , all we have t « request IS that i you will be so pood us to clear every doubi that may exist on the _uoint ] Yours respectfully , T . A . j Now , sir , in reply to your own inquiries , to j make which you are only stimulated by your j own interest , no one in _Jiarnsley , no party in i Barnsley having asked you to he their mouthpiece . If I was to devote my time to _answering , such ridiculous freaks of imagination as yours , the Land Plan would very soon fail for want I
of my supervision , as my whole time would be occupied in replying to such correspondents ; and the reason why I dignify your letter with peculiar notice is , because it is an artful and cunning compilation of the rubbish tbat app eared under the signature of " Omega , " in Lloyd ' s paper , edited by Carpenter , the Chartist ; _deserter . and of tbat signed "A Newcastle Miner , " written by Sidney Smith , the ex-League spy , in the Dispateh . I see no reason for punishing the art less for tbe deeds of the artful , and , therefore , I shall reply Seriatim to your questions , and shall then mak _*} some observations upon the opposition offered by those two journals to the Land Plan .
_J-irstl _^ yon ask , — "How is tbe property conveyed ? to each member , or the Society iii trustr " Answer . Until the Company is completely _registered , mi property wm be purchased in its name , and , therefore , much agaiust my consent , and at the desire of the directors , during provisional registration , the property has been purchased in * , my name . When the " Company is completely registered , in twentv minutes after I . shall convey the whole property _puroh-ised in mv " _•'••«« to the trustees fur the
benefit of ihe members , according to the intent and purport of the rules ofthe Company . When ihe properly is thus assigned , the trustees _« ill _Hiafcti the conveyance stipulated hy the rules to each occupant "

And new , let _measl _* _- you , if you -ever heard a society so pure , -so spotless , ami -so honourable _-es the Land Company ? -so ipure , so sp < _5 tlless and
_honourable , that the minions of faction , the hired scribblers of political speculators _, spies and -informeve , dread _s » 3 _influence upon their j several trades and calling * s I am of frugdi habits . * sir , of sober habits , md of inexpensive habits . I would _prefer _livisg upon a dry _osust , _easssd by the _^ _-sweat of ray own brow , to Jiving in luxury upen the proceeds of those whosa-oonfidence ii « l induced
them to place-the _pactegs from -their scanty board in my _-teusteeslyp . I established this plan , sir , _witih a character ; I _established it upon a pledge , £ tid I told the confiding that its success mainly _4-spended upon _conbdnnce ; and _itas because I £ 88 an attempt to weaken that _coundence , _reliedaupon by . faction as the means of adestroying the plan which must inevitably and-speedily shake Monopoly to its _veryicentre , that . 1 thus condescend to notice your tetter at all : aad , in truth , I may add , that the most
fortunate are the most querulous , tou , sir , have been very fortunate . ; you have got your _four-acre allotraeat ; and ,. therefore ,. vour attention is directed to the protection of . jsour own interest , without reference to the interests of those who have not heen so fortunate . I do not Mame you for being nice about yovar own interasst , but I do think that yxwr searching letter might have contained some show of anxiety for the interests of pur less fortunate brother members .
As this letter is intended as a wet blanket to the several squibs that have been thrown by the dissatisfied , 1 shall also notice here another fact that has come to my knowledge . It is this ; great sympathy has been expressed for the allottees at O'Connorville , and several insolent questions respecting tbeir condition have been _puit to me . Let me here , then , answer those several questions at once . The allottees at O'Connorville have received their respective capitals of lot ., _V 21 . 10 s ., and 30 / ., without the deduction of a single fraction for the culture of the land , for seed , for dung , or for labour . They were located on the first of May , that is , 2 months since _ and I should be glad to know which of the four-acre occupants would have
earned 4 l a iveek at his trade during that time' which of the three-acre occupants would have earned nearly 3 / . _ and which of the twoacre occupants would have ea'irned 2 l . Furthermore , the occupants were not charged a _f _rrthuig for two years' firina :. and I am now engaged in _contracting for the erection of outbuildings to every , man ' s cottage , and , when the Company is completely registered , every occupant will receive a conveyance of his castle and his labour-field from tbe trustees , as stipulated by the Rules . All these things have been done ' upon the principle that I laid down in the outset—that the poor and confiding must not be crimped like soldiers into bad service , and then punished for their misplaced confidence .
Now , I make these observations because 1 understand that subscriptions have been made for some of the occupants at O'Connorville and because a set of prowling vagabonds are lurkingabout tlie outskirts to discover whether they have jumped , as if by magic , from the jaws of the bastile to the luxury of a palace . How many of those men now enjoying the free air of heaven would have been now separated from their wives and families , paupers depending upon parish relief , but for the Land Plan ? And here let it he understood , that although
anxious and desirous to stretch the powers given to the directors in favour of located members , that the directors have a duty to perform to the less fortunate , and from the strict observance of which they will not be frightened by the taunts of individuals or parties . There is not a member of the Land Finn who at all expected , or had a right to expect , the advantages that have been conferred upon those located , and 1 am repaid for what I have done by the fact that I don ' t think out of the thirty-five there are two dissatisfied individuals .
Now , give me leave to ask how it is that no bubble by which the working classes have heen duped has ever been exposed by the virtuous press ? Tlie 'Dispatch , ' since the establishment of the 'Illustrated London News ' has become a mere Whig , and now , under the management of the dismissed League tool , Sidney Smith , it has become more anti-popular than over . Read the following letter , supposed to be written to the Editor of the Dispatch by a " Newcastle Miner , " and restrain your laughter , if you can - — _DevonportJulj 2 nd 3 S 17 .

_Jilo'v , what do you _tljiijk of that ' Morison pill _' _-touch coming from _underground ? Don't you think Sidney \ vc'is _tli , _e fabricator of both question and answer , and aye you not aware that Sidney ' s old friends , the _& eague , dread the _success of the Land Plan _nioite than all other classes f society _]> ut together ? And then the article ic Lloyd ' s , edited by _Carpenter , signed u Oniega : r '' _iyfow , tlie object of that article is to wea"ken _, eonfidence in me ; and . ifl return , just allow me , to * , tsk you to read tiie character given of _% v Wm . Carpenter by his friend , Joshua Hobson , in the " _Northern Star " of July 5 th , 1845 : — ** The People ar / e too wide awake either to be deceived by the miserable concoctions of Hill or Carpenter . " # . * * *
*• As for William Carpenter , he has appealed to the eighteen _years of his pulilie life ! We purpose going through them with him . Wc intend to ' begin at the beginning , ' and follow him _ctoscly down . We intend to know all about his various 'whereabouts , ' ami his different and 'PECULIAR / and very contradiqiqiix occupations , from a writer of religions works down to tis keeper _? u * _" * _"" no matter what > J now . We intend to know all _ab ? nt his connection with the Trades' Unions , and a press _uaA _' . ht wi . tli their money : in short , we intend to tt'acC illll ) _through all the _tortuo « 3 windings and twistings ot the eighteen years he has appealed to , that we may know him too as he really is , and be able to judge ol _his _/ tn « s to give advice to anybody oh anything . "
Now , that article was inserted contrary to my wish , and was considerably softened down by my direction ; and I would ask you what confidence you can place in the teaching of a man deserving such a character ? And Mr Hobson ' 6 observation to me was : "" Sir , I can prove every word of it ; " and yet this Mr Carpenter was one of Mr Hobson ' s principal witnesses in tlie late action against me for the recovery of a yeair ' s wages . _Noiv ' , is it not plain to every man of common sense that men who have been the bitterest enemies to each other will
forget their feuds when 1 am to be attacked ? The Land Plan is now provisionally registered , and the law which requires provisional registration as a first step , and complete registration as a second step , was framed for the purpose of protecting the thoughtless from the snares of the wily , - but it was not made to aid spies and informers in their assaults upon the honest intentions of honest men . If I were called upon to furnish an account of the funds of the Company , and could not produce at a minute ' s notice twenty shillings and
interest for every pound paid , the law would scourge me , and very properly so but when I could plaice in the hands of the court , principal and interest , without a shilling ' s deduction for my own expenses for two years and a quarter , and when I was the mnn seeking legal protection , and anxious to discharge myself of so much responsibility , by conveying all the property to trustees , law would say , and equity would confirm it , that this is a company within the strict meaning of the act , —this is a man who seeks , not to embezzle , but to discharge himself of an immense amount of property .
Now , sir , give me leave to state that so jealous am I of the fair fame that I "have honestly earned , and so frugal and industrious tun I . that it is my fondest hope that I never shall he obliged to call upon the shareholders to pay even my travelling expenses incurred on behalf of the Company , for visiting estates , attending auctions , or other acts consequent upon my anxious and arduous duties—duties which would cost the Company sometime , * - _lOOf . a week , and which last week cost me over 20 ? ., and in addition to which it is my intention to bestow tlie premiums I promised upon the most deserving occupants . I shall now state , for the satisfaction of the members , what is meant hy the several stages of
registration . Firstly . Tlie Company is " " provisionally registered : " a preliminary step required for tlie limitation of operations , until the Company is completely registered , and till which the Company could not buy lands or do other acts This step was rendered necessary to protect shareholders against the concoctors of bubbles , and this is the reason the estates have been purchased in my name . " Complete registration" means the writing of every shareholder s name , residence , number of sharos held , and the respective numbers of thoee shares _.

and which , V / hen '' done , is called the _Ischedule of the deed _ and when that is done the names of those representing one-fourth ofthe amount of _shared , _ ust be signed by the shareholders _theniS ' _elves , and then the Company is _completety registered , and the property will be cop _' . veyed by me to the trustees and hy the _tv ' astees tothe members , as located . Now , this was no easy preliminary step for the ' directors to perform , , * and yet , by proper exertion on . the ptirt of t ' he district secretaries , the whole of the required operations may he
_^ completed by the "meeting of Conference . Th e names for the schedule are nearly completed now , and , in a very few _djiys , the shareholders representing one-fourth of the Amount of pro-• _• • . erty could perfect tbe deed , tis 1 think we could procure the required _ttMmWr of signatures > _London , Manchester and districts , ' N ottingham'Kid districts , and Leeds and distric _^ wiU observe , _VlMt-foVsnefltly . twelve _iwoatbs I have been urging _the'district secretaries to the performance of tbis duty , and _thdr neglect , and not - mine , has-been tbe cause iff complete _registrar tion not being effected :- * -
I will now , iii conclusion , ask a few simple questions 1 of the shareholders ;—" Wbettoor do tliey tKnk that affection for them or hatred of me induces the opposition of the _Bizpateh , Lloyd ' s , and those wily disreputable rascals , who correspond under feigned names , land who are afraid to attach their own signatures ? Was there ever a society so n « ible , so glorious , _so-ifreedom-breafhing * and so prosperous , established for the working classes ? _Wasihere ever such publicity given to the _accounsts of a society : ? Was there ever -such open and candid-dealings between the _aaanagers -aad members oi a'society ;? or ,
Was if here ever _an-equal amount of _'business transacted for a _Ufce _^ amount of money r Was ' there ever a / proprietor * ef a _newspaper who refused : to charge even : the < duty upon _advertisjewents _wherefee was entitted to charge a large _amuvrnt for tbe advertisements ? The'Siberty . breathkig papers- at the * Young ' and • Old' Ireland party charged for the publication _^ _nthemoniass * wrun g from the starving
Irish , sail for the resolutions and . addresses of the hypocrltical . leaders . while no penny appears in my balance-siieet for which , there is not a receipt Not a fraction ofthe money has been speculated witli . but every pound has borne interest from the day it was paid , although that lunatic , . iKmmy G'Brien , has put down the interest of the money at 5 per cent , as it handsome remuaeration for my services .
Let the members say that there is any other individual'ia which tliey wish the property to he vested in preference to myself and the conveyance shall be made , with twelve hours ' _natice ; and let them be « ir in mind , that , until complete registration is effected , it must be vested in some individual . Now , sir , I wish you ; to _understand that 1 will n 6 t gratuitously devote every hour and every moment of my time for vour benefit and the benefit of those
from whom I am to receive no gratitude for my exertion *; and you and those who have been the most fortunate Jiave the least right to cavil or complain , as , without any liability , the successful occupants can always make a small fortune upon their outlay , and if you are dissatisfied with yours , and if you dread the liabilities , and if you have more confidence in the "Miner" and "Sidney Smith , " in " Omega" and " \ Ym . Carpenter , " than you have _in' / me _, I will discharge you of till your fears , liabilities aud _tipprehensions , by transmitting yo u by return of post £ 80 for the
fouracre bugbear that you have drawn out of the deceitful ballot-box ; and surely , sir , the most artful or cunning cannot diminish that amount by a fraction when it is in your pocket , even if the Company should fail upon the following day . The members will now see wh y I limited my operations to 24 , 000 , and , if i had been aware of the obstruction to be offered by the most fortunate , I would have allowed the power of nVecing the confiding to devolve upon a more willing instrument than myself , Good God ! sir , when did you see castles with outbuildings springing up , as if by magic , for the
confiding poor ? And is it any wonder , sir , that they should lack friends when those friends receive but the poor requital of the insolence of the most fortunate ? When did you ever see , hear of , read of , or think of , the transformation of slaves into freemen ? Do you not hear of building societies and bubble societies , all living upon popular credulity , and fostered and encouraged by a venal press , because the wealthy make merchandise of ; the poor . But when do you see the poor reaping the fruits of their own labour ? Do you suppose , sir , that you have any inherent " right to mv every hour ' s
toil ? Do you suppose ,. sir , that I will neglect my own business , my own private duties ; that I will pay a host of editors for doing what I might do myself , in order that my whole labour may be given to you and your order ? Do vou suppose , sir , that I will make dunghills from daylight to dark ; that I will plough the ground , and buy the seed , and sow the seed ; that I will turn horse jobber , and cow jobber , and bailiff , and pay-clerk , and surveyor , and Land purchaser , and receive only
insolence as my pay ? No , sir ; if 1 chose to establish a society of a few rich men for the purchase and subdivision of land , I could make more money in a year than I could spend in the whole of life , a . ud wluvt 1 have a ri g ht to expect , and what I will have , too , is respect , if uot gratitude , for my services . When the people find me turning those services to my own account instead of tlieir benefit , tben , but hot till then , they may treat me as their hired servant .
Now , sir , you may say that your letter did not merit so discourteous an answer . I say it did ; for I cannot construe it otherwise than as a pitiful attempt to know how you can secure your own early-acquired benefit without a particle of consideration breathed throughout for the interests of those by wbose pence you have been placed in the position of little landlord . I al-, o intend this as an answer to
hundreds of anonymous scribblers , and to the satisfied members whose fears may be operated upon by the more wily . If the fourth section had not been opened , 1 would bave confined my operations to three sections , and let your letter and hundreds of similar ones } be my answer to thousands who have requested me to keep tlie Company open until better trade shall enable thousands and tens of thousands who tire now
anxious , but unable , to join . A single remark and I have done . While sky-scrapers , moonrakers , and star-gazers , are divining the future ill-success of tlie Land Plan , i may be permitted to show the failure-of their several predictions by what _liais passed . Firslli / . —lt was predicted that we would not find land to purchase . Secondly . —That we would not be allowed to purchase it at the fair market price ; and Thirdly . —When purchased , that the class for whose benefit it was intended , being unaccustomed to agricultural labour , would fail in their new occupation . Well ; Firstly . —It I had ten millions _>! ' money , I could buy land within * u month to
_thatjamount . " , Secondly , —I did make a profit on one estate and might have made a profit upon all ; and Thirdly . —' Tim very women _aiuhihildren who

I never encouraged the . _iccuiKiiitfi to suppose that everv occupant , whetheridle orindustrious ,
would succeed . The Land is the held , Labou is the means , and comfort is sure . to he the end while the idle have the consolation t ( know that mv industry has placed them in m situation to turn their 2 / . 125 . 4 d . into _^ tlieir 31 18 s .

years from this Ante , und that when the affairs of the Company are wound up _, . the Btink will have paid the guaranteed interest upon every pound deposited , and 26 s . in the pound to every depositor , while an enormous amount of capital will remain for distribution amongst the members . . 1 tell you , sir , that it ia impossible , wholly and utterly impossible , that the government of the country can overlook tlie Land Plan , or refuse aid in carrying it out . There was a part of Mr _Ferrand ' s speech at tbe Crown and
Anchor meeting which was not published evenin the " " Star / ' He said that there wasn ' t a maft in England of auy _prty wbo was conferring such benefits upon , er doing so much good for , the working classes , as Mr O'Connor was by bis Land Phvn . Such men as _Fen-and and Oastler , who call themselves Tories , are sure to be in the next Parliament , and are sure to urge this Plan upon the consideration of govevnmenVawi they are not men to secure seats upon pledges which they mean to violate , but theyaremen who would perform for Labour leu thousand times more than they would pledge themselves to on tlie hustings .
I-snail continue in my even course , resting my'claim to _confidence aud support upon the motto by which 1 hope now and hereafter to he judged— "To live usefully , die a pauper , . nnd live in the hearts of those whom 1 shall have emancipated . " I am , Sir , your obedient servant , Feargus O'Connor . P . S . —One caution I consider necessary . Let not tlie fortunate occupants , now or hereafter , allow the pe _. ice of their little community to he disturbed by the ravings of the dissatisfied or
the artful ; and let not the industrious suppose that the ill-success of the idle is to denote their failure . We are embarked in a great , in a novel , in a _higfrand philanthropic undertaking for the regeneration ofthe countryand the emancipation of its slaves ; and if art , wile , or folly should drive me from the pursuit , I will prove popular ignorance by carrying out tbe plan to a greater extent , upon my own responsibility , than 1 have hitherto undertaken ; and , perhaps , if I was to pocket some thousands ayear _, instead of placing it in the coffers of Labour , then I might be considered a great patriot and a
wonderiul benefactor , as I always find _thtf th . working classes bave tbe greatest _respe-.- ; . . ' * >! those who grow rich upon their _confident . shall write no more letters upon thissuhp--. F . O'C .

The Land And T'Je Charter. A Numerous An...
THE LAND AND T'JE CHARTER . A numerous and enthusiastic public _niceting tc . v . held on Monday evening-, July Sth , in favour r > f _iie _* above objects , at the Paragon Chapel . Bcrmcii . _-, - 0 New Road Mr Jon . v Sewell was unanimously called _k-t . :: chair , and said the meeting was convened fo ;* _.-vpurpose of making the principles of the Nat ' _-. ¦> : . _* Land Company bettor known in connection . vi' ; the Charter . Had it not been for the activity awl able advocacy of the Chartist body , somanv t ' ini ! - sands would not now be on the high road to th * - - * r . oymentof those blessings which the soil , under ' . _(•»¦ - ; guidance of the National Land Companv with -, _o derate _industry , was sure to bring forth . _( Luud cheers . ) They would all admit that the _aristociw-v
had monopolised the land and its fruits , and that it was high time both were restored to their proper owners , the people . ( Renewed cheering . ) The principle of a free soil was not only p revalent in our land but had happily extended its benign _infiueuce tothe Americans . ( Hear , hear . ) They had had a number of goodly men politicians and philanthropists , but , ala 9 ! the good effects produced by their glorious efforts had beon but faint . Why ? because the working men had not hitherto been sufficiently united . But , thanks to the indefatigable energies of Mr O'Connor , and that great luminary the Northern Star—( Loud cheers , _)—intelligenoo now prevailed .
popular apathy had been shaken off , and the result waa » Na \ U _< 5 w « * A L » _m \ Company with a fund exceeding £ 10 , 000 , five estates , one in occupation , and a second just ready for occupation . ( Great cheering . ) The directors of the National Land Company acted in the true fraternal spirit worthy of that Democracy of which they were proud to be the advocates , asking no man when he presented himself for membership what his country , colour or creed , sufficient for thera that ke was member of the great human family . ( Loud cheers ) _^ he had much pleasure in introducing their friend Mr Doyle to their notice . ( Cheers . )
Mr Dovle said , some two hours ago he heard a person regretting that the Land Company had been founded by Chartists . It was true its founders were Chartists , and that they gloried in the name . ( Much cheering . ) lie looked 011 Chartism as the noblest principle in the world , demanding , as it did , political equality for all , nnd so well calculated as it iras to bestow happiness on the whole human race . ( Loud cheers . ) But had the National Land Company been founded by Tories , or even by the detestable Whigs , looking at its great intrinsic merits he could not have objected to support it . Pity it was that there should exist _Buch contracted minds as those who upon sueh small grounds would object to support the benign principles of the National Land Company .
( Hear , iiear . ) Had he not have been a Chartist until last night , the -spectacle he then witnessed would have made him one . On passing Saint Martin ' s workhouse ho saw at least forty human beings with scarce rags sufficient to cover their nakedness , almost in a stewing state craving for admission and shelter in the union Bastile ; and this too in a nation which possessed a plethora of weaith _. and at a time too when the parliamentary estimates numbered included one of £ 5 , 000 to erect a pedestal on which to mount the statue of hia Grace of Wellington , whose sole _mericonsisted in devoting his whole energies to the de « struction of human life . ( Loud cheering . ) lie believed there were ho peoplo on the face of the earth trampled on so much as the people of the United Kingdom , * yet they were told they were the glory of the world , and the envy and admiration of surrounding na tions . What an insult , what a degrading mockery ! Tho sight oflast night convinced
him that their freedom consisted in being free to starve , ( Hear , hear . ) If tbis was a test ofthe good qualities of British institutions , the sooner they are levelled with tbe earth , and others erected iu their stead , the better . ( Much applause . ) Yes , the men who produced all , both necessaries and luxuries , were left to perish of cold and hunger , while the useless wealth-consuming , idle drone was _ovei-gorged with tho good things wrung from overwrought hones ' - industry . Again he said " perish such a state of things ! " ( Loud and long continued _applauso . ) Oh for the Charter , tbat they might establish such a code of laws as would enable us to labour and live , and enjoy the bounteous produce of God ' s earth . ( Loud cheers . ) ' Mr _SatMUEL Kvdd spoke at considerable length , offering some convincing proofs of the capabilities and certain success of tho Land plan : He also ably defended the Charter . Mr K . waa loudly cheered . After a few words from Mr Gathard ,
Mr M'GRiVrn said , no subjects could be of more importance than the Land and the Charter ; tho Land to give sustenance , and the Charter as a protection from marauders . ( Loud cheers . ) The Charter was a menus to an end . Ho agreed with Mr O'Connor , tliafc the Charter would be useless if the Land was locked up . He looked on the Charter as tho means of obtaining the Land . Ue had recently stood on a public platform , alongside of the scion of a noble house , the Honourable Leveson Gowerthe Whig candidate for Derby ; and \ vi . _ino .. i . l . > wns Ilia _misei'
