You have jj _^ led as men never struggled before ; ' _sspunst _ioddsspfearful , that the contest has l % n all hut Kbfreless . and yet our policy has _flfCeeded . and now , upon the eve of the ap" _fjoaching battle , 1 feel heart and hope , and confidence rken
Wage and . Ha to what » iat policy has been . It has been to weaken Al sections of thejenemy , by withholding our fln tenance and support , thereby turning the _weapons of faction to __ the destruction of fa ction . In the olden times they made you _ijjje peop le ) the instruments of party warfare , \ _a \ , fearing to trust to your increasing _knowlJa ' e and growing power , they are now com-Sfed to bid , NOT FOR YOU , but AGAINST _^ CH OTHER . In 1 S 35 1 announced my Mention of preparing you for the day of _juction , and I stated the price at which 1 was _jarenared to knock you down—namely ,

arrange-Jsits for the conflict , and , their brave resolve "' fO'DO , " OR DIE . 'Ihavehowreinindedyoii ffthe policy by which we placed ourselves __ _rond the reach of faction , and our principles _foxe the scoff of party ; anil I shall next draw roar attention to the attempt now being made Is IFestminster to undermine that policy , and {* _gs more to adopt the temporizing tactics b y yjurh onr cause has been so often _jeopardized . In calling your attention to the VOTE . OF fE NSURE passed upon me by theMETRO JOLITAN COMMITTEE , let me not be _ _uder « tood as opposing their rights to the free _p-jression of tlieir opinions , while I feel myself bound to satisfy even the three gentlemen _fliO disapprove of mv conduct .
J ask for no further demonstration of popular _e-daion upon the course I pursued at the
GREAT CROWN AND ANCHOR MEETING , than that signified in the columns of 1 st Saturday ' s Star , and I should be most mevously distressed if the conscientious _distliarife of their duty was to cause between the Committee and me ] or between the Committee sad vou , anything more than the most open sad friendly " understanding . If , however , I was deserving of their censure ,
I equally deserved your condemnation , and as I do not imagine that any lessening of my _in-Jaence just now would tend to the advantage of the popular cause , I feel that I owe it as s duty to myself , a duty to you , and a duty ta those gentlemen , to state wherein I differ from their policy . I am bound to presume that the offence I committed was the _weakeniasr of Mr . Cochrane ' s pretensions to the
_Itf PRESENTATION OF THE , CITY OF WESTMINSTER , and therefore I feel myielf called upon to canvass those pretensions . Id the outset let us see what Mr . Cochrane ' s _q ualifications are , as set forth by one who has rerrinsolently used the columns of the Northern iiar , to advance the interests of Mr . Cochrane , < nd who , I understand , was the concoctor of ie justly-condemned resolution , and which , if _arried , would have inevitably broken tie > . a : tist party up . Now , here is the qualification offered in last we _«^ VS / t * zr for 'Mr . Cochrane , by Mr . Stallwood :
Mr Stallwood , in opening the debate , said there sis a great evil attendant - in having either ailitary or naval officers . aa representatives , _s it too frequently happened' that " they left ; the _JoBoar of . rep . _resentihgthe *' pe 6 ple to the more smonraMe and profitable ' one of- sotting _throatson feign shores ( loud cheers ); and a Parliament , aving many such members , was ,- to a great extent , _Semere creature ofthe government ofthe day . Leaking at tbe votes of General Evans since his 1 st election , he had been pretty tolerable , and would a very well to follow , but was unfit to lead . The pat demerits of Mr Lushington were that he refused
isvote for Universal _Suffrage , under the pretext that fepeople were not intelligent enough . He also _iijeeted to a repeal ofthe New Poor Law Act , and b a limitation of the hours of labour ; and then his seat ase , sixty-five , precluded the possibility of his _I-erformiag the duties of an efficient legislator , ( Loud cheers . ) On the other hand , Mr Charles Cochrane had evinced great merits and fitness for a _laislator by his successful exertions in behalf ofthe J _» r victims who were deluded away to Portugal and Spain to fight for Don Pedro and Christina , and then refused their hard-earned pay ; by his establish-• fient of the National Philanthropic Association , and tierebv laying the foundation ofthe measure— " The Health of Towns' Bill " - bv the establishment of the
"Poor Man ' s Guardian Society , " and the bringing of tbe witnesses from _Andover , and thereby enabling . h Wakley to bring that inquiry to a triumphant _& ue ; by his adoption of the great principles held by -lajor Cartwright , the same principles so long and dearly cherished by the electors of Westminstertaider tlie title of civil and religious liberty ; by his courage in attending White Conduit House on the ran day— by his visit to O'Connorville on Whit Monday—and by his courtesy , diligence , and activity , _"todgreat attention to the _wiahesof the people on all " ¦ _elisions ; and by his great and unprecedented _hu-***> uitv . Those things convinced him ( Mr Stall"• _" _- _jod ) that Mr Cochrane was the best fitted of all the _CjiJidates to be a representative of the city of West _Ouister .
Now , if anv sane man ENTITLED TO THE SUFFRAGE has read that old woman ' s _twaddle without laughing , I would ask what pinion he has formed of Mr . Stallwood's Chartism ; and I would ask if a greater string <« nonsensical , puerile , insignificant , _unmeaning rubbish could hy any possibility be strung _together . I would " respectfully demand an explicit declaration of principles from Mr . Cochrane before any Chartist is asked tn vote for him , and if that is not required in Mr . Cochrane ' s case , I would then ask SOME t . f the LONDON GENTLEMEN—not the committee—THE WHY and THE
WHEREFORE an exception is to he made in the case of Mr . Cochrane . Now , laying Don Pedro and Queen Christina aside , and the nonsensical stuU about "HEALTH OF TOWNS ' BILL , _andPOORMAN'SGUARDIANSOCIETY , and ANDOVER / ' let us hear what one _pnnci"*•< * Mr . Cochrane professes that Major Cart' * right professed ; let us understand the ; _"alue of the COURAGE which prompted Mr . C ochrane to go to the White Conduit House •» the FAST DAY , and to O ' Connorville on ;* _-e FEAST DAY ; and let us have one single _Refilled and understandable expression of _^ I'inion from Mr . Cochrane upon those SIX POINTS which , if carried , would strip all the _singerhread so pompously paraded of its
gildln g- Will any man point out to me the diff erence in point of promise between Mr . ¦ Cochrane and the veriest Whig in the House _tf Commons , with this difference indeed , that _^ ores of Whigs not only promise more , but _Wuall v go farther than Mr . Cochrane promises *<• go ? " Would the men of Nottingham accept _? e upon such pretensions as those p leaded in _?«•• Cochrane ' s behalf ? Would the men ol _^ lifax accept Mr . Jones upon the same dec _laration of principles ? No , to their honour they _* todd scout us from the hustings . Ot what av _* * ul , then , has heen my twenty-four years ol _1-t rseverance in England and Ireland , if _^ _xcep"t-ujis are to be made in favour of a _JNfcW" _¦ -UUER ; nay , not even a new-comer , hut one H refuses to come ? What inducement ' to
er _severance and consistency would _su-ah a _iwlicy hold out ? Personally , I rather V ___ Mr . Cochrane , and I honour him for not pledging 1 iaiself to what he does ' not pror , _* . e to realize _ _i'ut I have the most thorough and unmitigated

contempt for the grovelling slave who professes Uiartism , and recommends an anti-Chartist candidate . Eternal honour to the men of _AVestminster , they saved us from a disgrace that would have paralysed Chartism throughout the kingdom , and notwithstanding the attempts of 'ELIZA COOK ' to cast disrepute upon me and the cause I pursued , I would much rather have the approval of the Chartists of Westminster than the adulation of THE WHIG- 'DISPATCH '
andMuSTALLWOOD . People say , "As Mr Cochrane paid all the expenses of the meeting , it was ungenerous to baulk him of tlie anticipated results . ' " To such my answer is— ' - Gentlemen " you may be caught on the GOLDEN HOOK , ' but I am not to be snared in the golden trap ; " others say " that I should have mentioned my intentions tothe committee : " ! DID DO SO , and I refused any _compromise-Irefused Mr Cochrane ' s request ,, and all attempts to seduce me into the temporizing policy-- " LET * US BLEND
THEM . ALL IN THE RESOLUTION TO PASS , " aiid _PROPOSEYOURS asavSUBSTANTIVE RESOLUTION _^ ? Such baits have often been taken : I will not swallow them . 'ELIZA COOK ' says-1 packed the meeting , while _not-a soul knew of my intention to be present till I entered the " committee room . Justice to the nien of Westminster enables me to state tbat there was no necessity for
packing the meeting , but if there was packing , it was on the other side . I now dismiss the subject , which has been very unfairly forced upon me , with an expression * of hope that the difference existing between a portion of the Metropolitan Committee and myself may be allowed to pass unnoticed by the Chartist body , as dissension in our own ranks strengthens the hands of the enemy .
Allow me now to call your attention to a more pleasing subject—the duty that we shall . shortly be called upon to perform . Tn every instance where a Chartist candidate can be secured he should be proposed at the forthcoming election , so that the representatives of faction shall not be able , to plead ignorance of our principles . The Chartists should select a straightforward and _hifflw * Chartist , and the most eloquent they can secure , and when proposed and seconded , if another "RAM OF DARBY " should interfere
with the poor remaining mocker ) ' of holding up the blisters upon Labour ' s horny fists , the people must be prepared to defend even that BADGEofSLAVERY . _committeesofnon-electors should be formed forthwith , to make thenecessary arrangements , and if the returning officer threatens to call his bludgeon-men to assist despotism , the people must not he frightened . _Jf POWER STRIKES ILLEGALLY , power must be struck in return . If the people ' s friend is heard , the people will hear their enemies ; if the people ' s friend is struck or insulted , the people must strike and insult in
return . In short , our resolution to have a fairstand-up fight , this time , should be made known ; the poor privilege that the fear of faction confers at a general election must not be surrendered— and , independently of our principles , we must let candidates of all persuasions , creeds , and politics , understand that we mean to have an instantaneous inquiry into the title of those who have stolen the common land which we are now obliged to re-purchase this inquiry only to extend to recent enclosures , sar of fifty vears back and within that period , in the FIRST INSTANCE . We
must be prepared to resist the crime of MONOPOLISING , FORESTALLING , and REGRATING , and insist that no speculations shall be made in _articles of food , as , under the present law , a few capitalists , without reference to the supply in the country , may easily create an apparent scarcity and raise provisions to a famine price . We must have no traffic , except between farmer and miller , miller and baker , baker and consumer , and , Heaven knows , that ' s enough . We must , by all means , take especial care not to tolerate a
FREE TRADE MAJORITY , if we are cursed withjsuch an infliction , labour will have hut the option of revolt or famine . We must scout the RELIGION-MONGERS , who are already raising thecry of " NO POPERY , " out of the land , and show them that , if Protestants have heretofore been made the instruments for oppressing their Catholic brethren , it was when both allowed themselves to be used for the ends of faction . Let English Protestants have the manliness to confess , that when their ancestors abandoned their BELIEF FROM
TERROR OF THE FAGGOT , that the ancestors of their Catholic brethren showed more true religion , as well as courage , in adhering manfully to their faith . In short , on no account let ' an English Chartist be party to any religious cry whatever , and let them tear down the printed blasphemy and hoot down the uttered blasphemy of those hypocrites who would DISHONOUR GOD BY DARING
TO JUDGE HIS PEOPLE . Of all things the Chartists should keep clear of fanaticism , and should hoot the RELIGION-MONGERS off the stage . They should respect every man s conscientious opinions , hut they should allow no man to denounce or interfere with the religious opinions of others , and , above and before all , the Chartist CREED should be put to every candidate , and , if for no other purpose than this , the value of proposing a Chartist candidate will be seen .
In short , Old Guards ! England and Ireland expects every man to do his duty l Your country , your cause , your family , your interest , and your God—all call upon you . By the poor blood that runs in your veins ; by the love of liberty that burns in your breasts ; by your devotion to the cause of freedom ; by your toil-worn wives ; by your stunted children ; by your bastilled fathers and mothers ; by your weeping exiled friends ; by the memory of your murdered patriots ; hy the broken vows of "Whi ggery ; by the violated faith of Free Traders ; b y the death and burial of Toryism ; by the hope of Chartism _ by the
g lorious prospect of a free home , a homestead , and a labour-field *; by all that is dear to man , and worth living for and worth dying for , I implore you to be up and doing . Let this be our SACRED MONTH—not sacred to idleness , but sacred to Labour in Freedom's cause . Heed not the courtship of Toryism , the tolera tion of Whiggery , the courtesy of hypocrites , or the insolence of the confident , but stand by the purity of Chartism . Hold the old standard proudly in the breeze , and let the minions of faction see how" we have repaired the rents that deception had made , and how whole it is when theirs is shivered by the gales of
expediency . H 6 ld fast by , " MORE PIGS AND LESS PARSONS ; " "THE CHARTER

_ilOW TO SECURE " THE RETURN _OF _- _GaQAS _< -TISTS _^ TO THE mxf _PARLIAMENT . \ TO THE EDITOR OF THE- NpaTHEBN STAB . ' Sir , —At a time wheii there * exists " ihpre speculation , as to . th ' e result of the ! coming . Election than generally happens to fall to the share of such events , each party , _Xt hig and Tory , being equally sanguine in their anticipations , it behoves the people to make _| he best of the general scramble , and to have tlieir interests truly and honestly represented . It cannot
be supposed for a moment that a party so ' powerful , so united , and so deeply interested ' in this-election as the members of the National Land Company ' are , will let the present opportunity pass by without claiming their due share in the representation of the country . Already have the directors of _ _> that body taken the field , and itis their friends ' , duty to support them and every other gentleman who comes forward to assist them , in their struggle against oppression and misrule , by every means in their
power . If we are to have candidates let it be no mockno sham trial ; let us not have any such beasts as the " Ram of Derby" insulting our friends , and denying thera their rights for want of money : let us not subject ourselves to even the chance of being thus treated again from the same , cause . The members of the National Land Company of Stockport have determined to set their brother members in other localities an example worthy of imitation , and have from their own local levies voted £ 10 towards the electioneering expenses of Mr P . O ' Connor , and the other friends who have signified their intention to contest the next election . Now , if Stockport in the very depth of poverty , with a bill passed through the House of Commons which will saddle the
berough with the interest of £ 70 , 000 , in addition to the very high rates already , levied , — with a greedy and rapacious set of freeUooting cotton-lords , who are at this moment offering a reduction of ten percent ., with one-fifth of its operatives unemployed , and the remainder only working about halftime ;—if Stockport , thus situated , can do this , 1 feel convinced'that every other locality can do the same—at all events , they can contribute according to their numbers . To work then—let your contributions pour in to the Election Committee , whom I
am sure will use it with prudence and economy . If you fail in this , let us hear no more of your desire to return Chartist Members to Parliament . Furnishing the sinews of war is generally a sure test of sincerity—the men of Stockport have proved theirs j and I say to all others , " Go and do likewise . " I am , Sir , With best wishes for the success of the plan , Yours respectfully , ( On behalf of the Meeting , ) Thos . Webb .

COURT OF EXCUEQUER .-TUESDAT , June 22 . [ Sittings at Nisi Prius before the Lord Chief Baron and a SpecialJury . ] HtBSON V . O ' CONNOR . This was an action against Mr . Feargus O'Connor , as proprietor of the Northern star newspaper , to recover damages for a breach of contract , iu dismissing the plantitf without notice . Sir F . Thesiger , with Mr Hoggins , appeared for the plaintiff , and Mr Watson for the defendant ; It appeared that the plaintiff acted as sub-editor ofthe Northern star , which was published in Leeds tip to the month of December 1841 , when tho publication was removed to London , and the plaintiff , who was in business as a stationer at Leeds and Huddersfield , was engaged at a salary of £ 312 per annum , payable weekly . In September , 1 SJ 5 , the defendant left England on a tour to "Belgium ,
entrusting the superintendence of the newspaper to the plaintiff ; but upon the defendant ' s return , after au absence of about five weeks , he ascertained that the plaintiff had also absented himself from Londonhaving left town a few days after the defendant pro ceedeil to Belgium , and not having returned until a lew days belore the defendant ' s arrival from the continent . The defendant , therefore , discharged the plaintiff on the 30 th of October , 131-5 , paying his salary up to that date . It did not appear that the newspaper suffered from the plaintiffs absence , as he had supplied it witb editorial articles , and otherwise superintended the publication , although not on the spot . It was also stated that the defendant had previously sanctioned the plantiff ' s absence , and knew that he was an active member of the Town Council of Leeds , and engaged in the publication ol an almanack at lluddersneld .
Several gentlemen connected with the metropolitan and provincial newspaper press were called upon to depose as to the existence of a usage as to notice upon the dismissal of editors or reporters ; but their testimony certainly did not go to establish the existence of any uniform practico , although _thsy were unanimously of opinion that a hiring without any specific limitation or arrangement was understood to be a hiring for _» year . The defence waa that the _plantiff-i absence without leave of his principal for a period of five weeks was a positire injury to the newspaper , aud such a breach of duty on the part of the plantiffas justified his dismissal . It was also contended that , as tbe plaintiff came to London in December , and was paid up to the 30 th of October , his claim at all events was only for his salary from the 3 Uth of October to the period in December when the current year would terminate .
The Lord Chief Baron left it to thejury to say if the plaintiff had been properly dismissed in consequence of his absenting himself from London in the manner described whilst the defendant was in Belgium . If the jury thought the defendant justified in dismissing the plaintiff , the verdict should be for the defendant . If the defendant was not justified in the dismissal ofthe plaintiff , he was entitled to some damages . It was for thejury to say what vras the amount of the real loss the plaintiff had sustained by being dismissed without notice . The evidence went rather to prove that there waB no established usage as to notice . The damages the plaintiff claims were the amount of his salar y for the current year , ending in the month of August . The jury , however , were at liberty , in estimating tho damages , to take into consideration the value of the plaintiff ' s timo after he was dismissed , or , in other words , what he could earn up to the end of the year .
The jury returned a vordict for the plaintiff Damages £ 7 S , being the amount of three months salary . —Afornina Chronicle .

Now , friends , let us convince the country we are in earnest by publishing such a list of subscriptions as will terrify our foes . Send in your subscriptions to Mr Sweet , who will acknowledge them in the Star . Chartists , subscribe to a man , for it is your cause as well as ours .

behalf of the committee , John Skkwiitt _, Secretary Sheffield . —A numerously-signed requisition having been presented to Mr Thomas Clark , requesting him to allow himself to be nominated for the representation of Sheffield in Parliament , —Mr Clark has signified to the requisitionists his _willinjiiiess to take his stand on the hustings at the general election , to break a lance with Messrs G . II . Ward and Parker , the present Whig members ; both of whom will seek for a renewal ot the confidence of their constituents . It is to be hoped that the Mayor of Sheffield will not attempt a repetition ofthe Derby brutality ; but , if he should , it is expected that the men of Sheflhjld , from their long training , know better than to take down their hands at the bidding of a mayor , and that they have too much spirit to allow policemen to do so for them !"
Tiverton . —The speech of Julian Harney at the meeting recently held in London to protest against the Whig intervention in Portugal , has excUcd great sensation in this borough . Mr Harney ' s threat , that ! ho will meet Lord Palmerston on the hustings , has been echoed from mouth to month , and the . _Whiga are every where asking , "Who is this ni » n that will dare to oppose his lordship ?

Election Meeting At Halifax. The " Good ...
ELECTION MEETING AT HALIFAX . The " good men and true" of Halifax are all oh tho alert , and feel confident of being able to carry a Chartist candidate at tho ensuing election . In pursuance of the requisition that had been forwarded to Mr Ernest Jones , on learning that that gentleman was to bo at Bolton on Saturday , Mr W . Thomas was appointed by the election committee to proceed . 0 Bolton and require his attendance at a public meetin " , to be held at Halifax on _Monday , at half-past twelve o ' clock . Mr Thomas , eaentering the lornperanco Hall at Bolton , found it crowded with ; an audience ol between two and time thousand persons , and , on announcing tho purport of his missioix , greeted with enthusiastic plauvHts . Although the bills calling the _meeting ; at Halifax could not be issued until Monday _moiniiig , aud although it rained heavily , the Oddfellows' Hall was densely crowdsd in all its parts ; aad on Mr Jones catering , lie _wae-received with muck cheering .
. Mr J . _Gaubecgur-having been called to the chair , _introduced the businessof ths meeting in _altighly appropriate speech , _concluding by calling on Mr _EnrasT Jones ., who rose and said— * vlr Caairmnn _aiui Fellow-countrymen 11 do not come befoze you na the advocate of a new and untried theory ,, not as the exponent of unpractical reforms , but as tha disciple * of a political orecd that has _weathered many a storm—every approximation to which is attended with success , and that measured by the standard 0 - _nmiMition shines gloriously tortlv upon the front 0
politics . I ask yau to record your , votes in _favoun 01 certain political changes , —nor ami asking you _to-de that for which there is no _precedent . Man y are the changes that havo occurred ia this country—many are the steps you have taken on the path of _progression ; I now ask you to take another—and the greatest . ( Cheers . ) Were it not to * this necessity , you . need _' have no parliament—were wc to be ruled by tlio dead letter of a stony law—wo need have no deliberative body—but au executive machine would _sufjse our purpose . Therefore , none need take the alarm at the signs of change—itis tne duty of the living law to adopt its ministration tothe exigencies of the time —not bending with expediency , but advancing with progression . I conceive , if & law bo sound , it must be to the advantage ol" all—on the principle that honesty is tho host of policy . I cannot conceive any section ofthe community to he injured , without such being an injury to the community at large . 1 do conceive that a class may rise into temporary
prosperity by the depression of others , hut you will always find the ultimate rc-action take place , and tho rotten foundation atlastsinkB under the magnificent superstructure of Monopoly . 1 therefore hold it to be tho duty of a legislator , in propounding measures for the sufferings of an oppressed class , to sec that such measures should not infriugc the just richts of others -and , indeed , I feel happv to think that the political creed of which I am the advocate will , and tins is beyond a doubt , raise industry from serlilom into freedom , without dashing wealth into bofgavy or doing unto the rich as they have done unto the poo ( _Lonil chews . ) IhoW / _Sir , that a legislator o * S ht

( Great cheering . ) _ A gentleman here asked whether Mr Jones was in favour of a fixed rate of wages ? Mr _EnsEsiJioNas . —Nothing couhl be more absurd . The rate of what would constitute fair wages must depend on three things i— oathe number of handsthe amount of money in the country—and the quantity of food . But 1 will tell the gentleman what Li am in favour of . I prefer a man's working for him- * self , to workina for any wages . ( Loud cheers . ) Gentlemen , this remark reminds me that I must not detain you long . I know vou are anxious to Let to-.
your work , and can ill spare the time to come here . I beg leave , however , to express my opinion on one very important point . I am opposed' to capital punishment , since I believe it deprives the culprit of the opportunity of making his peace withthis God . Tliough-there is a'period between judgment and exey cution , that period is filled with earthly hopes andfears—he cannot separate repentance trom the tenor of death and _eanthly shame ; and you fling a brother j at the gate of eternity without giving him a chance to sue for pardon on the _threshold . ( Loud cheers . ) . Time prevents my . enlarging on other subjects , but , gentlemen , the greatest favour you can do me is
_toquestion me as io any . points 1 may have omitted , . or anything Is may . not have been explicit in . In conclusion , 1 have but to say I do not solicit your vote * on the grouud of party politics , but I ask you to recurd them , on the ground of principle . Many of , you . may be opposed to mean some points , and coincidewith me on others ., li . will be the duty of those . to . consider how far the cause of progression and _. the objec ; athey advocate _wiliiLe benefited as a whole ,: and to vote accordingly . ( Mr Jones resumed his , seat amidst enthusiastic and long-continued _checking . ) _., Several questions were then put to Mr _Jones-r--among others , whether he would vote for a repeal of the window duty ..
Mr E . _JosEfr—Ybst I do not consider _^ - that . thepoor man ' s light anil air ought to be _taxed ; . awl ir the civil-list _andipension-list were cut down a little _,, if we were not so ready to slaughter the working ; men of Portugal and other countries—wc . . need not _taxxthe poor man . of our own so heavily ..
