I union among your order . _( I understand that I have been elected as a delegate to tlie Manchester Conference , and I j shall have great pleasure in attending aud I faithfully discharging my duty . I have received invitations from the men of Bradford and Ilochdalc , and I shall visit both of those I i _owns when the Manchester Conference con-I eludes its business ; and I think that will be [ ihe best time—just before Parliament meets . I . And I promise you , working men , as I repre-* sent you , as well as the men of _XottragUam , I _ili-if I will not fail in performing my duty to [ you , in the ensuing Session of Parliament . Again , again , and again , I implore you to j p lace no confidence in trafficking politicians , i or professing leaders , hut rely wholly and
cuiircly upon the strength that your own union § will give you , and the weakness it will give yonr oppressors . I work for no class hut yours I —I think of no class but yours—and I have I devoted my time and my fortune to the elevation of -yonr order ; bur the old maxim may be itruc , tbat " PROFFERED SERVICE I STINKS f but however I may stink in your I nostrils , I am determined to die perfumed I with the sweet scent of philanthropy ; and , I perhaps , when I am dead and gone , you will I sav of me as you have of Henry Htjxi , " WE * Ell , * _VJ XI 1 _"U € _*•* 1 * - _"" - * UUiV _% _»* _A 1 IJ . _>»* .

I | TKEATED HIM _UNJUSTLY . " I But in conclusion let me tell you , however 1 y _^ u m ay revile me , or transfer your confidence 1 io profit-mongers and traffickiug politicians , I _gaui resolved , " come weal come woe , " to _adjjf herc to those princip les which will rescue _sf you _fi-om the grasp of your oppressors , and enable yon to live and support your families as you ought to do—in comfort and affluence . If I bad my will , no mother should drag her baby from her breast to obey the summons of the dread Curfew-, Lut all should remain at home , attending to their families , performing their domestic work and then all would he happy , anii we should not have a drunkard or a
criminal in the land . I I must remind you—or rather inform _you—: of something that occurred at the meeting that ; I attended on Wednesday night 1 stated that the population per square mile of Jersey and Guernsey was four times as great as that of England , five times larger than the population ! of Ireland , and twelve times larger than that of Scotland ; aud that they paid from five to seven pounds an acre for Land . As I was coming out of the hall , a fine , tall , able young 'fellow met me , and told me that he was glad I J mentioned it , as he had heen in Jersey nine _{ years , and that he never saw a beggar or a _h-auper .
Now , working men , will not this fact convince you , that yonr oppressors manufacture vour sweat , vour blood , vour marrow , and your Uncsmto gold , and that THEIR MINT IS 1 ' UUR DISUNION ?

Polish And Hungarian Refugees. A Public ...
POLISH AND HUNGARIAN REFUGEES . A public -meeting - was held on Wednesday , evening , at the South London Chartist Hall , to hear a lecture from P . O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., on behalf of the above gallant men . About eight o ' clock Mr . O'Connor arrived , and was received with loud cheers from the numerous body assembled . Mr . Luke Kixg having been called to the chair , briefly opened the business of the meeting , and introduced Mr . O'Connor .
Mr . _O'Coxxou ( who , on rising , was again greeted with great applause ) commenced by stating , that although it was a damp night , it warmed his blood to sec such a glorious gathering for so noble and patriotic a purpose . They had been told that the Austrian government had demanded satisfaction for the injustice inflicted upon Haynau . He { Mr . O'Connor ) thought that they had not inflicted full justice upon Haynau , or they would have scarce left him with life ; and , if he was compelled to sell everything he possessed , even to the Northern Star , he would see that those ' brave men of Barclay ' s should not be injured
hy any government prosecution . The press of this country had reviled the man Sloane , for his horrible treatment of the poor girl who had lived with him as a servant , but not one ' of that press denounced the conduct of Haynau for his tenfold horrible atrocities , until the people spoke out in au unmistakeable man-: _« er , and scarce one paper hut what de-Jn ounced the conduct of Barclay ' s men . ! ( Cheers . ) He only wished that the men had put Haynau into a vat , and brewed him . I No conduct could be too harsh for such a ruffian . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) had never , com-Smitted a cruel action in his life ; but if be had
been there , he should not have been able to | control his feelings . If it had not been for ' the treachery of Georgey , Hungary would now have been free ; and if Hungary had heen so , Poland , and the rest of Europe , would also have been free . He was glad tobe able to announce that the results of these past struggles would not be entirely lost ; a struggle would soon take place in France which would compel the special constable President to relinquish his office . When the Exhibition took place here , they would have an immense number of these men in London . It was estimated that as many as four millions of
strangers would be present ; he trusted it might be so ; these brave men would inspire them with some ofthe spirit which animated themselves . In France a soldier only enlisted for seven years , but he was a citizen soldier , and a brave man for the rest of his life . In this country they did not need to marshal physical force ; if needed , it would come like an electric shock to them all ; but he who marshalled it was either a fool or a _kn" * ve . He wanted to marshal their minds , and not their arms . If they struggled as hard for ono month as he had struggled for years , tbey would have the Charter at once . He wished to keep them
firm to the question of the Charter , for if they had too _maiiy irons in the fire some of them would be sure to cool . He also called upon them not to mix themselves up in the Papal Question . He warned them , that in the next Session of Parliament there would he such an agitation as never had heen seen in this country . Formerly , Lord John always received the support of the Catholic Irish M . P . ' s ., but now they would be bitterly opposed to him . They must not suppose that _because the house consisted of 653 members , that it required half that number to defeat a Ministry ; sixty determined members , who would sit and rise with the house ,
would be able to defeat any government ; there were forty Roman Calholie members , and the spirit that would animate them might be seen from tbe faet , that John O'Connell , who was never onee in the house during the last Session of Parliament , was now in Limerick , moving heaven and earth against the government . Lord John would thus find that , though the Protestants of England might put down the Catholics of England , they could not put down the Catholics of Ireland . lie wanted not to see them divided upon either religious nor any other questions , hut to sec them contented and happy ; to see their prisons and workhouses converted into _colleges and schools , and tithes and poor rates un
known . That this was not the case they had only themselves to blame ; it was not the fault of the government , but the fault of their own disunion . In the days of their ancestors t _' icy had all the points of the Charter , with the exception of the Ballot ; but when the Charles's and the James ' s came to the throne , and found they could not carry their despotic and illegal measures—they enfranchised a quantity of petty places , with but twelve or thirteen votes ia each , and thus swamped the representation . He did not come there to cajole or flatter them . He had spent £ 130 , 000 iu their cause . He had abandoned his pleasures , his horses and hounds , to devote himself entirely to them ; and
he could lay his hand on his heart , ami say that he had never given a vote against his conscience , or performed au act which he believed would be injurious to their interests . His father had heen buried seven 3 _'ears in a ceil under ground until his forehead was rotten , because he would not abandon tbe cause of the people . His uncle was in the fifty-fourth year of his banishment for his devotion to his country , and , like them , he would always remain true to tbe people . As to tbe Austrian fovernment demanding that the English government should prosecute tlie lashers of Haynau , it was ridiculous to suppose it . If an assault was committed upon a man in the street ,
he must go before a magistrate , swear to the facts , and confront the accused with cries of "let him come . " The Chronicle advocated tbe government prosecuting those men in the absence of _Haynan . Did not this show that there was one law for the poor and another for the rich , in the estimation of the Chronicle * Did not this show them that other parties profited by their divisions ? But he defied the government to prosecute those men ; and if they did , they should be so defended as * men never were before . ( Loud cheers . ) He would do it himself , if the people would not ,
though he spent his last farthing in so doing . ( Cheers . ) He wished to prepare the men of London for the coming struggle . In London they were isolated and unknown to each other , and , consequently , disunited ; it was not so in Manchester—tlsc Northern Ilive . That they could be un ted in London the 10 th of April , 184 S , ou Keniiington-common , sufficiently showed , hut they were never ripe for action , never prepared so well ss the men in the north . By action he meant mental action ; but he was determined to travel the country , and to use his best exertions to cause them
once more to present an united front to their opponents . Mr . O'Connor then gaveahumouious description of the relative position of different classes in British society , and showed that anywhere relief in taxation would be ir . iuriousto them ; that if ten millions of taxes were taken off , twenty millions would le robbed from labour . When an income tax of £ " 203 was laid cn a manufacturer he reduced his labourers £ 100 ; and so with all those who lived bv the labour cf the working men . To him it was . - . " horrible sight to s ? e young men . of twenty-seven iateii and down
years ef as ** , no eniac worn by _overlabour an 3 deficiency of food , that they would bear no eoni _** ari _" _-oii with the ruddy cheeks and healthy _appparanc-e of their employers at fifty years of age . It was a well-ascertained fact , that the average life of an operative , iu the manufacturing towns , was onlv twenty-seven yews , whilst that of ar , agriculturalist was fifty-three years . \\ as it to he endured , tbat those who produced nothing should live in _dleness to an advanced age , whilst those who moduced all should die of _o _-aust . on _,. ere they could , eujov any result from- " _aeir labour ? He

wanted to see them earn enough bv that age to live in comfort for tho rest of their days , and thus rid him of the pain of seeing their pallid and careworn faces . Formerly Ireland was England ' s chief difficulty , but France would now also be one of ber chief difficulties . When he was in Paris , about the time Cardinal Wiseman came to England , he heard numbers of respectable Frenchmen , including priests and deputies , _congratulating themselves that the Pope would convert England ; and they might depend upon it that the old feeling of hate against England was not jet evaporated . He had often told them that when the last shot had been fired against tyranny then immediately did that tyranny recommence . Was this not well evidenced
by the present state of things in Franco ? Though , nominally , a Republic , no person could write an article in a newspaper unless he signed his name to it . The nincompoop of a President-fcrics of " We wish we had him here , we would serve him like Haynau )—no , he does not deserve that ; Havnau was a brute ruffian , and he is only a fool . The ' nincompoop of a President was endeavouring to have his salary raised to £ 120 , 000 a year , whilst the salary of the American President was only £ 5 , 000 a year ; yet on every wall and space in Paris you saw the words "Liberty , Equality , and Fraternitjj !' Was not that a complete mockery ? Not only was " discontent rife in France , but in America also . There the people were beginning to see that
they must have the land free to all before they enjoyed prosperity , Was it not a sin that people should be starving in this country for want of employment , whilst we had plenty of idle land , on whicli to grow the food we were compelled to import from abroad ? ( Hear , hear . ) lie did not want to locate them all on the land , but hewanted to locate those who were now unwilling idlers , and thus make them good customers for the boots , the hats , and the clothes which tho manufacturers produced . Was it not disgraceful to see the bright harness ol the brewers' and distillers' dray horses , in which the poor wretches , by whose drunkenness they were kept in such glittering splendour , could sie their pale faces reflected ; and to think that _jfoverument encouraged and profited by their drunkenness ? In Ireland , when a man was reduced to his last shilling , he always went to the whisky shop to spend it , on what he called kill grief ; " and he
knew that many thousands of men in England also were driven , hy desperation , to drunkenness and erime . _When speaking once in the house be bad told them , that if a man was starving he thought it would be no crime for him to satisfy his hunger from the crowded butchers' and bakers' shops , by which he was surrounded . For saying this lie w : is immediately hooted and attempted to be bellowed down , hut he again reiterated it—that he would be a vagabond if he allowed himself to die of starvation , while surrounded by plenty . Mr . O'Connor touched on a variety of other subjects connected with the Charter and the Itefugces , and concluded an address which was loudly applauded , by stating , that no amount of government patronage which had been tendered birn , had ever caused him to desert the people even in thought ; and that while he remained true to them , and to the Charter , he trusted he should ever have their support . ( Cries of" Hear , hear ; " and loud cheers . )
Mr . _O'Cosson then called for a collection for the Poles , which realised £ 1 3 s ., besides some collected on tho stairs , in addition to a charge of one penny each for _admission , to a crowded audience . During the collection , and after the proceedings , tbo Refugees and Mr . Brown sang a variety of national songs , and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed . Mr . Lrax moved , and Mr . _Asmi seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr . O'Connor , amidst tremendous acclamation , followed by three times three . Mr . O'Connor acknowledged the compliment in a feeling manner , and then retired amid prolonged applause .
" ilr . Brows , in a very able speech , appealed to his audience to continue their support of these men . Meetings would be held on the following Sunday evening at Turumill-street ; and a public meeting would be held in Carlisle-street , Portman-market , on that day fortnight , in aid of their funds . Mr . Brown then stated , that he was particularly requested by the Refugees to return their thanks to Mr . O'Connor , for his generous conduct , a 3 no other public man had done his duty in a similar manner . ( Cheers . ) He also , on their behalf , thanked their friends in tbe country for their kind support .
A vote of thanks was given to the chairman ; three cheers for lvossuth , " Bem _, Dembinski , and all who had suffered for the cause of Liberty ; and three groans for Haynau : and thus ended one of tbe largest nnd most enthusiastic meetings that has been held in London for some time past .
Published From That Gentleman In The Nor...
published from that gentleman in the Northern Star . In reply , tbe Council have only to say , that they are prepared to defend every word and act in reference to . the controversy betwixt themselves and Mr . E . Jones , and will afford every convenience in their power to any party who may think proper to impeach their motives , or oppose their views ; and , that a fair opportunity may be given to all parties , a meeting be called for that purpose on Sunday , the 12 th of January . " Intimation of this was sent to Mr . E . Jones , at the same time calling bis attention to the lateness of the hour at which he said he should arrive in Manchester . The Council also passed a resolution " That Mr . E . Jones ' s name should be announced in tbe weekly bills announcing the Sunday evening's lecture , as being ' expected to be present . '" Mr . Jones , in the meantime , had written to other parties , informing them of his intended visit .
MR . EKXEST JOXES IN MANCIIESTEIt . On Friday in last week , the Manchester Council , through their secretary , received a letter irom Mr . E . Jones , itifornitng them of his intention to be in Manchester at nine o ' clock on Sunday evening , for the purpose , as stated in the letter , of defending himself against the attacks ofthe Manchester Council , as published in theirreply in the Northern Star of the 2 Sth of December , against the long tirades of slander and abuse previously published , from the pen of that gentleman . On the receipt of this letter , the Council were called together , and they came to the following resolution : — " That this Council having heard rea 1 a letter from Mr . E . Jones , in which that gentleman informs the Council that he intends to be in Manchester at nine o ' clock on Sunday evening , for the purpose of answering the reply of the Manchester Council to the letters previously
On Sunday Evening A Lecture Was Delivere...
On Sunday evening a lecture was delivered by Mr . D . Donovan . Many persons from Stockport , Ashton-under-Lyne _, 01 dh ;< n » , Itoyton , St _. ileybridge , Hebdenbridge , and Padiham , mostly young men , some with large sticks :, were seen disputing with the Manchester men , and declaring that their intention in coming to Manchester was to support Ernest Jones by any means in their power . The Manchester men protested ag « ainst the factious opposition of some of the men of tbe surrounding districts in attempting to swamp them by votes on the visit of Ernest Jones . A greater unity of action and mind was never displayed by the men of Manchester in support of their Council than on the present occasion . Mr . J . Sottox took the chair at half-past six o ' clock , and said he was informed that a great number of persons had come prepared to disturb
the peace of the meeting , but he cautioned them that should any one attempt to do so they would immediately be handed over to the officers . The directors were determined to protect their hall , and the Chartists of Manchester were also determined that the peace of their meeting should not be disturbed . A great deal of abuse had been allowed on that platform , such as would not be tolerated any where else , and the Council were determined to put a stop to it : discussion was always courted , but personal abuse would not he tolerated . Tbe CiiAiitMAX then _introduced Mr . D . Doxovas , who gave a very interesting lecture on the Political and Social Conditiou ofthe People of Norway . Durimr the delivery of the lecture , and about eight o ' clock , Mr . Ernest Jones entered the Hall , and was well received by his friends . When Mr . D . Donovan had concluded his lecture , The Chairman introduced Mr . Ernest Jones , who
was loudly applauded . Mr . Jones > _. aid he had come there purposely to face hir- accusers , and asked tbem how they dared to accuse bim ? Mr . Jones referred to the letter of the Maiiche . -ter Council , as published in the Star of December 23 th . He would not say much until he had heard what his accusers had to say against _hun . Mr . Jones then alluded to the chairman ( Mr . Sutton ) and said it was somewhat strange that one of his accusers was to tit as his judge . Mr . Scnox rose amidst interruption , and said , as Mr . Jones had objected to his sitting , as chairman , if tlie meeting thought fit , he would leave ihe chair . ( "No , no . " ) Mr . Josks said he had no objection to Mr . Sutton _hc-ing in the chair . ( Laughter . —A Voice : " Why mention it then ? " ) Mr . Jones , with great

. vehemence Jcalled on the Council to come out of _S tneir holes-, and say what they had to say before his _i tacc . I * Ba _^ _MivJoncs ' s speech , Mr . James Lmb « ij Mvcd tho hall , . and was tremendously applauded . I that gentleman took his seat opposite Mr . Jones , . an-t . _ainongst the members ofthe Manchester Council , who occupied the right hand side of the chairman . The Chairman then introduced Mr . James Lcach _^ to acfend every act or deed of the Council .
ij , _""cn _^ _"d ho was not aware Mr . Jones would have been there so early in the _ovenins , as , from his ; letter , it anpeared he could not _belhcro before nine o ' clock , or he ( Mr . Loach ) would have been _either . . The Manchester Council had no charges to make further than were published in the Star of Dec , 28 th . ; and every man on the Council was prepared to reiterate aud substantiate every syllable of that letter . The Council had nothing to urge against Mr . Jones or his principles , but with the policy ho was pursuing to carry out those principles . . He ( the speaker ) would not permit the cunning audtrickery ofthe lawyer to supplant fair and manly ¦ djscassioii . If Mr . Jones had come , i ! i _5 * a . 'i _^ _(^ by daptrap- Shd vapour , he could
chjmt _tfifc" _*'*®'' ' _^^ ; , he , would' be miserably deceived . ' - _Ifhli' ' wSs _^ repared . ibenter into a fair and candid inquiry into the cause which had led to the differences between the Executive and the Manchester Chartists , they were prepared at once to compare notes with him . He ( Mr . Leach ) begged to callthe attention ofthe _mecUi-s * to the fact , that when tbe election of the late Executive was announced in the Star , the Manchester Chartists declared , by a resolution passed at a members' meeting , that they would have nothing to do with that Executive , neither would they obey any of its mandates . He ( Mr . Leaeh ) was not present at that meeting , but ho fully concured with the resolution , both as regarded that Executive , and
also the present one . It seemed to him , from present appearances , and from the nonsenscial trash written by one of its members , that the same proceedings which had brought the Chartists—and even the name of the Charter itself into disgrace—was again to be re-enacted , if the people had no better sense than to be made the dupes and tools of mere political mountcbankism ; but , as far as Manchester was concerned , he had no fear whatever . Sir . Jones should hswe begun at the beginning , and have traced to the letter of the 2 Sth of December . Mr . Jones sought to place the Manchester Council on their trial , whereas it was he who ought to havo been tbe defendant , to justify
his accusations against the Manchester Council , in calling them an " insignificant faction , " a " sordid clique , " an " aristocracy of labour , " an " interested , selfish clique , " ' rubbishing clique , " the puppets of Cobden , Bright , Walmsley , & c . " This tirade of unmanly demagogism brought the reply from the Manchester Council , which Mr . Jones complained of ; and as this was tho last published , and Mr . Jones ' s was thefirst , he should sit down , to give him an opportunity of defending , before the meetin < r , that which he had thought proper to say of the Council . Ho again assured him that he would dafeud every sentence nnd word of their reply to his attack . Mr . Leach resumed his scat amid tbo cheers of the meeting _.
Mr . Jones said that he did not apply the aristocracy of labour to the Manchester Council , but to some one else ; but from what had transpired he did not know why ho should not . ( _"No , no , " hisses , and great uproar . ) Mr . Jones then referred to the members of the Executive , and named them individually ; paying a high compliment to each , also to himself , and the letter of the Council on the 28 th of December ; alluded to the delegate meeting held that day at Halifax , where the delegates for Bradford sat , and voted for tho resolutions thero passed , and he hoped the mon of Manchester would do the same . It was also his intention of having a vote of confidence for himself , to test the men of Manchester ; and he should propose _tluit aU those
who had confidence should —(" Xo , no , great hissing and uproar for some time . " ) [ Mr . Jonos was here attempting to steal a vote of confidence for himself , but the audience quickly perceived his dodge and refused . ] Mr . Jones then went on to say , that he should certainly propose a resolution , and he begged them not to oppose it , as if they offered any opposition to the Executive , Mr . O'Connor would have nothing to do with them . He also reminded them that the Executive had been elected by universal suffrage , and was the acknowledged head of the Chartist movement , and they alone had a right to discountenance the attempts of any local leaders calling a Conference . He declared that it was the cowardice of the Convention in ' 48 , that
ruined the Chartist cause ; that Leach and Donovan ran away from Kennington Common , whilst he , of all the Convention , was tho only man who stood bis ground , and g . ive the character of firmness andp 7 itriotism to the Chartist cause . lie was charged with bcingguilty of misrepresenting the people in the Convention . He never said there were 50 , 000 men in Yorkshire ready to march upon London . Ho said 30 , 000 , but not 50 . . 000 He was charged with quibbling , chicanery , falsehood , and oxtortion ; as one that , fattened on the dissensions and miseries of his unfortunate victims ; and with platform bravado and private cowardice . After a somewhat lengthy and earnest appeal , Mr . Jones proposed the adoption of the Halifax
resolution , viz : — " That this meeting has every confidence in the Executive , and pledges itself to render them all tho assistance in its power . " He ( Mr . Jones ) hoped they would pass the resolution , as Mr . O'Connor had expressly stated , that if they ottered the Executive any opposition , he would not act with them . The chairman , upon this reminded Mr . Jones that tbat line of conduct would not do they must hear both sides of the question before a vote was taken . Upon this Mr . Jones sat down . Mr . Leach reminded Mr . Jones that the question was not confidence in an Executive , but the policy to be pursued by the Chartist body . The expression of an opinion of the Manchester Council on tho system of agitation caused him ( Mr . Jones ) to attack the Manchester Council , and he had called upon him to substantiate his charges , instead of
which he had thought it better to leave it alone . Turning to Mr . Jones , Mr . Leaeh said , Sir , if you had not done or said anything before derogatory to you as a man , in referenceto this dispute , the cunning attempt you have just made to cheat this meeting out of a vote , after the string of falsehoods you have coined , and which have for the first time escaped the lips of any man , is sufficient to bring upon you the indignation of every friend to justice . We are aware , sir , that you did not come down to Halifax for nothing , or take a gig to come from thence to Manchester , as you say , at your own expense , for nothing , either . You have not yet . told us what you went to Halifax for , the Manchester Council were not there . We may he allowed to suppose that it was , as one of your friends of the Executive has remarked in the last
weeks Friend of the People , to put down the Manchester treason . Why , Bir , both you and the delegates , of which you have said so much , do not represent five hundred organised men ; and with all due respect , both to yourself , your Friend of the People , and the delegates at Halifax , the Manchester Chartists will not be driven from the position they have taken , until all such vapouring blustering folly as has hitherto disgraced our cause , bo brought to its proper level ; as far , at all events , as this district is concerned . And now , a word about the charges that you say have been brought against you _. You say you did not say that there were 50 , 000 armed mea in Yorkshire ready to march on London , if the government dared to touch a hair of vour
head , but that you said 30 , 000 . I always understood you said 50 , 000 ; but if you had said thirty men , instead of 30 , 000 , it would only have been a little shorter stretch of your heroic imagination , and one was as likely tocome down on London as the other . You say you werecharged with beinga _quibbler and extortioner , ? fee . We charge you with no such thing ; but you charge us with being the defenders of the middle class , and , after a bitter philippic , you called upon the Chartists to crush the profitmongers . In reply , we said we were not aware that we had defended the profitmongers ; but that one of your profession ought to be tho last to provoke comparisons between tbo trades and professions of men ; that tho highwayman might have some qualms of conscience whilst despoiling tbe victim he had
overpowered . Not so the lawyer , he despoils professionall y . ; that he was , from his legal birth to his grave , a compound of quibble , chicanery , falsehood , and extortion , and , acting under the influence of his education , he robbed upon principle , and fattened upen the dissension and misery of his unfortunate victims : but we added , no doubt , Mr . Jones would claim exemption from this rule ; and we said we would grant it , and claim the same in return for those he had made tho object of his slander and abuse . You say Donovan and myself ran from the waggon on Keiinington-common . I have only to say to that , that Mr . O'Connor and myself were looking at you from the waggon , when you were three hundred yards away from it , and that I remained there a considerable time after you had left it . And _novh in conclusion , let me call
Ar00106
your attention again to the question , and ask you , as a man , either ' at once to come to it , or to abandon the false and 'foolish position you have taken . lit : { Mr . Leach ) cared little whether they passed Mr . Jones ' s resolution or not ; but , if they ' did pass it , all he could say was , support it ; ho should not . Mr . _Joxus here requested Mr . Leach to ' move an amendment , but Mr . Leach refused ; he did not think it worth his while . Mr . Jones rose , amidst the applause of his friends , and a « _ain called upon the Council , and . _„ . - . I , _T - — *
especially Loach and Donovan , to prove thee _' _iaves agamsthim . ? . 'ho remarks in Iho _& tfr _. in referenceto William _Culfey , were not intended for tho Manchester Council , but for Philip M'Grath-tho friend and ally ot the Manchester Council . fle _* had so many parties attacking him i . i all parts of the country , that he was obliged to answer twenty of them in one batch ; and , of course , the Manchester Council came m for their share . If thev were Chartist * , and Democrats , they would vote for tho resolution , which had been carried at the Halifax _delegate menting . D
* Mr . Donovan rose to propose an amendment , aa his friend Leach would not do so ; before doing so he wotfid call their attention to the report _of-the Executive rn , eotiug . in tbe . _jNc ° r _* 7 te / > n Star , remarking t ' O'the audience ' ; those of the Executive who thought the letter ' of . _Jhei . Manchester Council an attack upon the character of Mr " . ' 'Jones , and those who did not , from which he concluded , from the evidence of the report itself , that the Executive did uot _ agi'ce that it _wns an attack upon Mr . Jones ' s character . The Manchester Council was aware of the private correspondence going on in the country , and of Mr . Jones ' s errand to Yorkshire , Mr . Jones had come to organise the Yorkshire mind , and from thence he had come down , well armed , to crush at all hazards , tbe so-called " Manchester Faction . "
Mr . Donovan made some remarks on tho conduct of Mr . Jones , after whicli he proposed the following amendment : —• ' That this meeting adhere to its former , resolutions , and has full confidence in the Manchester Council . " Seconded by T . _A' _-bott _, who strongly protested against the interference of members of other localities on the present occasion ; ( which protest was loudly applauded by tho Manchester men , and hissed by those of other localities , which caused great uproar for some time . )
Mr . Jones came in front of the platform to speak , but was hooted and hissed . Silence having been restored , Mr . Jones _s-ild : —Mr . Abbott had asked him whether he ( Mr . Jones ) intended to allow persons from other districts to vote ; he would answer : did not a large number of persons come from other _districts to vote , when Mr . O'Connor was there ? ( Confusion was created again . ) Mr . Jones made some observations as to what Mr . Leach ' and Mr . Donovan had said , and strongly called upon the meeting to adopt his resolution _.
Mr . Dickenson came in front of the platform to address the meeting , and to propose a rider to tho other resolutions . Mr . Jo . _viis protested against Mr . Dickenson speaking , and a long parley took place between them , the meeting shouting and hissing one for another , and for nearly half an hour the body of the hall was in confusion ; a considerable number of persons left the hall during the dispute about speaking , and at length the Council prevailed upon Mr . Dickenson to offer no further opposition ; consequently the motion and amendment were read to the meeting _. The Chairman put the amendment first , and called for a show of hands , when a forest of hands was held up with a tremendous shout . The motion of Mr , Jones was put . but lost by a great majority , when another tremendous shout was raised at the ~' _'"tyry of Donovan ' s motion _.
Silence having been restored , the Chairman declared Mr . Donovan's amendment carried by a large majority , which created another tremendous shout . The Chairman _declared the meeting dissolved , and the business terminated about _half-patt eleven o'clock _. On the retirement of Mr . Jones from the ball he was greatly annoyed by hissing and hooting , both from men and women ; one woman was about thrusting her umbrella at Mr . Jones , but the Chairman took it from her . Mr . Jones in refusing Mr . Diekenson a hearing ( who is in great favour with the Manchester men and women ) has created him many foes , lie never experienced such a defeat . Instead of a vote of confidence in him and the Executive , he suffered a signal and complete defeat . Such a meeting never took place in the ball before . James Alcock , Cor . Sec .
TO IKE EDITOR OP THE XORTHERX STAR . Sir , —As my decision of the meeting held lust Sunday evening , in the People's Institution , was disputed by Ernest Jones , 1 hope you will allow me to say , through tho columns of tho Star , that to the truth of that decision I should have no objection to testify upon oath . And my opinion is ,-that had there been none but Manchester men in the meeting , the majority against Mr . Jones ' s motion would have been ten to one . I am , Sir , yours respectfully , John Sutton , chairman _.

THE FIXSBUltY POLICE ESPIONAGE CASE , We have received a letter from Mr . P . Johnson , complaining of tho apathy of the Chartists generally in not supporting them against the recent act of police tyranny . Tho expenses , it appears , amount to nearly £ 5 , which includes the fine of £ 2 , tbe solicitor ' s fee , and the expenses of a public meeting , nearly the whole of which has beeu paid by a hard-working man . This is wrong , and we trust that the Chartist body will render the assistance required . _Subscriptions , in money or postage stamps , are to he sent to Mr .

The following resolutions wero passed unanimously . Moved by Mr . Firtb , seconded by Air .

meeting that there are two classes of individuals who arc deadly enemies to the welfare of mankind ; one of those classes are the manufacturers , who are always wishful to have their work done at a less price than neighbouring manufacturers ; and the other , those who will not unite with their fellowlabourers in order to prevent it . "—Moved by Mr . Emmot , seconded by Mr . Smith : — "It is tho opinion of this meeting , that unless the working classes unite they will never be able to raise themselves in the social scale of society .

women to do the same . " Mr . _Gawthrop , chairman .

One of the sufferers died shortly after being brought out of the level , and another is not expected to survive . The accident is attributed to the carelessness of the men , in allowing the safetvlamp to be carried into tlie level before them , by _' a little boy , who could not detect the presence of tho fatal gas , the men following with candles in their hands , and thereby causing the explosion .

To remedy this , the . whole were consolidated , ami thus our present National Debt was formed , and our system of public credit established . The difference between what , a working man produced and what he consumed _wiv : the sole foundation of all credit . Although ( ho working man was the sole foundation of alt credit , he was deprived of all its advantages ; the only credit he couldotrain was at his " imcle ' _s , " where , instead ol paying five
per cent ,, like the merchant , he must pay twenty _ps'r cent ,, and instead of giving a bit of paper for security , he must give goods to the worth of _titrce times what be received before he could get the value of a " bawbee .

That to withhold
protection from the British inventor at such a crisis would be an act of injustice to the ingenious of this country ( who are anxious fairly to _oompeto with other nations ) , and an insult to all foreigners , who may visit this country for the purpose ot witnessing tho Great Exhibition .
