We und -Blood that the Assembl y met for the purpose of promoting the cans- of _lihe _' nv , not to throw the firebrand of discord in our ra nks . If Mr O'Connor ' s op inion had heen disapproved ot bv the Assembly , he ought to have heen _trea _' ed as a gentleman , by being called oa to defend tbat opinion . If he had committed an

      error in judgment ( which we are inclined to question ) his _long-tried services 2 s leader of the movement ought to have induced the Assembly to have treatpd him with more courtesy and respect than it has thought fit to do .

That assuming that tbey were

      acting right in summoning 100 delegates , still , as liberty of thought and action is every man ' s right , Mr O'Connor is , by that rule , perfectly justified in refusing to recognise the Assembly , or to sit in it , if , by so doing , he rendered himself liable to legal results , most especially after tbe explanation he had given .

' * That we hereb y pled ge ourselves to pay our proportionate share , or more if necessary , of any expense which Mr O'Connor may be put to in defending bis character against tbe accusations of his enemies .

The general wish seems to be that you should come and see us at your earliest convenience . Men who formerly looked upon you as a destructive , now say , that you have been grossly calumniated by the press of this country , and you are fast training friends among the

      _shopkeepiLg classes . Chartism is rap idl y progressing —our numbers are greatly increasing ; men who formerly kept aloof from us now offer us the ri g ht hand of friendship , and we entertain no fear of tbe result . _Ypu have often witnessed the devotion to principle and the affection for yourself , as evinced b y the Chartists of ihis city , but on your next coming we shall be prepared to g ive you , if possible , a greater proof of our attachment to your person , and our _determination to be guided by your council , despite the denunciations of men , whese names we never beard till they had an opportunity of acting tbe part of dastards by calumniating you in your _absense .

      We remain , Honoured Sir , Yours respectfully , Wm . Grocott , President of the Manchester Locality of the National Charter Association .

I remain , respected sir , Yours , in the cause of the Charter , Wm . Lacy .

For what , we would ask , did _thtse men censure yeu f For what did they _deneunce jou i For what did t hey threaten to turn jou out of the movement ? And last , though not leant , for what do tbe ; propose to start another paper in opposition to tho

      Stak , thereby to overthrow , as tbej suppose , jour power , and destroy for ever your influtnoe as a leader in th _« movement , and as ihe advooata of tho rights of the suffering millions ?

' - Mat 7 th . —The adjourned debate on tbo Chartist policy , was resumed by 'Mr Allnutt , when an amendment _ww moved by Mr Fennell , lhat any meeting being called for any thing short of the [ Charter , we recommend the Chartists to attend , and move the Charter as an amendment , and endeavour by _peroDflBi ' _ve means , to _^ bow the inutility of agitating for anything less than the Charter / After a good discussion the amendment was carried . Wr Noibbs moved and Mr _Cafer seconded , the _following resolution : —* That we recommend the National Asnnwort him , as fur as ifc ia in onr

      sembly to adopt a firm , steady , and vu » e line of policy , and to discountenance all private and personal _tqnabblcs among themselves ; since the people are looking up to them as a body who may , with tbe assistance _« f tbe people , obtain the Charter , and we beg to assure the Assembly that _unlecs they unite aa one man tbey vili most assuredly fail in their object , and that tbis locality are of opinion , that were tbe National Assembly to agree upon the means to be adopted to obtain the Charter , their time wend &> e ranoh better occupied than in abusing Mr O'Connor and the _Norihkbn Stab , and we are further of opinion that a committee of the Assembly is not the most prop'r bodv to conduct a daily paper , and that as Mr O'Connor ban announced that it is his intention to publish a daily paper , that this locality support bim in that enterprise to the _utrroat of their power , and that a copy of tho resolution be sent to the President of the National Assembly . ' Mr Fennell moved and Mr _Gower seconded , tho adoption of the following _addpats to Mr O'Connor : —

      Respected Sib , — We address you on this occasion with feelings of sorrow , since we have learnt that some parties , who hava not the experience or been so long in the movement , and con . sequently cannot be _acquainted with the feelings of the Chartist body in general as you are , endeavouring , con . trary to the wishes of the Chartists , to put aside those leaders who hare so Ion ;; conducted the movement through difficulty , paril _, and danger , until at _length it becomes the all-absorbing topic of interest in this empire , and all men begin to inquire into the doctrines taught in the Peope ' s Charter .

      Rest assured , " sir , that we do notrecoenise or trust these new comers , who endeavour to outvie each other in Hie violence of their _languiijie ; but class them as men who , although they maybe well meaning men . yet are unknown among us , and must be proved longer before we trust them in preference to you . We do not intend to forget the manifold dangers that our tried and trusted leaders have bo long conducted US thraui ; h , with equal safety and honour to both parties ; wo do not forget your services in 18 » 9 and 18 _i 2 , when , but for your wisdom and foresight , the movement must have infallibly been brok _. n up , through the treachery ot those who goaded the people to a pitch little short of insanity . Years , long past , has your directing spirit guided the movement , and we will be no parties to casting you off in favour of men who , whatever othermerits tbey may have , prudenee and discretion enter but sparingly into their

      composition ; these are not the men to lead a nation to victory , but those who have borne the burden and heat of the da _, y ; who have stood steadfast to their principles when others deserted them , and , therefore , ill J'OU , sir , we have still the utmost confidence . _IZIir These opponents , sir , are men who , with the usual ardour of enthusiasts , imngine that the cause of Chartism does not progress fast enough , _forjrcttinir that tbo whole of tho people are not so _entbufciastic as they are , ana that time , prudence , and tact are required to enlighten the understanding of many who are now hostile to the principles we advocate , and , we hope , when they have teen a little time in the movement , that they will see the necessity and policy of using less violent language , and exerting themselves more in _thowayof action , and act inac cordanccwith that advice which you have so often given to the Chartists , nor , we trust , given in vain .

      We thank yc . u for the advice _t'ivsn tothe Chartists in your last two letters , and fully coincide with you , that Wisdom , and discretion are qualities now above all others required , since it is only by adopting a conciliatory yet firm policy , that we can obtain tbe result ive so _ardently wish for _. In conclusion , sir , we have only to express a wish that you may long live to wield the battle axe of democracy in its attack on class legislation and aristocratic misrule , which have so long cursed th < _s empire ; that you may outlive the puny attacks of those who try ta vilify your cbaracter ; and live to seo the enactment of the People's Charter , and the adoption ofthe Land plan , byagovernment of people , and lonp ; live in the enjoyment of health

      and happiness , ia the earnest wish of , Sir , yours , moBtrespectfulij , and faithfully , On behalf of the Fiasbury locality of tho National Charter Association , Wm . 8 ALMON . CbalrmaB .

      Carried with two dissentients . It was then resolved that the address should he sent to Mr O'Connor , and a copy tothe Northern Stab , when the meeting adjourned to May 13 . N . B . —After May 13 th th « meetings of tbe Fins . bury locality will be held on Wednesday evenings , at eight o ' clock , instead of Sundays . Towbr HAMLBT 8 . —At the weekly meeting ofthe _mim-jers _afthe Whittington and Cat Land branoh , the following resolutions were passed : — ' That a vote nt confidence bo given to Mr O'Connor fer his _tersevering _energy in hiB endeavours to ameliorate the social condition of the working _claBBes by his Land

      Flan , thereby proving that the people are prepared for their political rig hts , and tho amelioration of tbeir social condition . * 'That this looality recommend to the Chartists ofthe country at large , tnaC the Executive ef the National Charter Association have no connexion whatever with the Directory of the Land Company . '— On Wednesday it was resolved— ' That after a striot investigation as to the statement of the _pres _< relative to our delegate , Mr John Shaw , we consider that such statement waa false , and calculated to bring hira into great _disrrptst , and tbat this meeting pass a vote of confidence in Mr Shaw , ior his conduct on thb and all other _occaaione , '

Tbe proprietor of thie estate , conceiving that the salt j ! tion of this country depends npon the better cul tivatioti of the soil , and sonsideriug the above magnificent esta ( t / as peculiarly adapted for Spade Husbandry , has venturen upon the experiment of thus testing the great princi ple de manual labour , by wbich means alone England can bi en 1 bled to support her increasing population . The _spirited proprietor looks to the success of _tli _' _tl great national project , rather than to profitable _specie lation . The estate , for situation , fertility of the soil , and _capnj bility , requires no comment , as from its proximity f market towns , and the _facility of procuring manure , aca building materials being on the spot , with which eaela purchaser trill be supplied With an _aoundance , it is ner to be surpassed by any estate in England . Every acre has been thoroughly di-ained . Tbe proprietor has erected thirteen splendid _cottagesri each standing in the centre of four acres , and whicii ' for simple elegance and convenience are not to b ! surpassed , no expense being ( pared to secure eeonomicac comfort . The several allotments are cropped , and the purchases will be thus accommodated at a price much lower than that at wh . ch _iiidividuxls could secure these advantages * We may assert that never has so favourable an _invest ment been offered to the small cnpitalbt , or the tradese man , who may wish to embark his capital in a proiitablit ) and wholesome speculation . It would be impossible to describe the beauty ofthtl situation ofthe above property , while its proximity to tort City of Lincoln , renders ita most desirable investment ! in fact sueh an opportunity may never again be _presented to those living in NottinKbam , Gainsborough , Hull , and the adjacent towns , of becoming small proprietors in thei * immediute neighbourhood . The soil is a rich friable loumi capable of being worked iu any season , and producing tod most luxuriant crops . The best water may be had 6 y sinking ahout twelvi yards , and each allotment has a h ' gh road frontage . This splendid estate has been purchased by the spirited : proprietor , in order to carry out the Land Plan _eatftt Wished by MR . FEARGUS O'CONNOR , And who , in return , has kindly consented to officiate aa auctioneer on the occasion , in order to explain to the meu of Lincoln , andthe several strangers who may attend . ! the advantages likely to accrue to tho shopkeepingj trading , and working classes , from a system which hasi never before been attempted in any country . The whole will be sold without reserve . The auction will take place at the mansion , on the estate , and rull particulars of sale will be furnished , _a-. d may bchadou ' Monday , the 2 Jnd , at the Saracen's Head , Lincoln the .
