To The Chartists.
TO THE CHARTISTS .
Mr Froes-Ps , ./..... R * I Have Seen Fo...
Mr _FroEs-ps , . / ..... * I have seen for * some weeks , with no little -pain , those dissensions which have been going on between the Chartist prisoners in Kirkdale and the Manchester Council . I have no "wish -whatever to be niade any party to those disputes , while it was impassible to close the onl y organ open to thc prisoners against their
complaints or remonstrances , whether well or illfounded . I trust , however , that the . war will now cease , as far as the " Star" is concerned . There is no ingratitude that , to my mind , is greater than that of allowing the families of -working men , who areincarcerated forpolitical offences , to remain in a state of destitution , and if there is anything which , stamps tbe -Chartist canse with infamy , it is the fact of millions of their order alio wins their families
to starve while they are -anahleto supply them -with the necessaries of life . These are not mere words , as I have not only been the sufferer for defending them , but I am still the siifferer io the _" am ount of _^ £ 65 a year to exonerate five Chartist prisoners -from oakum picking . However , before , the ¦ winter comes in , and when the days get shorter , and the working classes will have no p leasure trips to occupy their attention , it is my intention to make atour to the principal towns of England , Scotland , and Wales , at
my own expense , to raise a fund for the support of the wives and families of the incarcerated Chartists , so that they shall not suffer cold or hunger during the winter ; and I also hope to realise the wherewithal to enable each prisoner , npon his liberation , to live upon , -jantilhe can procure work ; as , in my mind , nothing has more tended to damage the Chartist cause than the neglect of Chartist prisoners and their families ; while nothing las more tended to disseminate Chartist principles , than the emp loyment of the ablest -Counsel to defend the Chartist Victims .
Enemies to those princip les will read the speeches of hired counsel , when they will not xead the speeches of working men ; andldare say it is a novelty in the history of this country that , during my time , not a Chartist _prisoner has been undefended ; while , in the olden -tune , it was onl y to indict and convict . Having spent nearly eig hteen months in solitary confuicment in York Castle , I can well
understand what my feelings would have beea if , trusting to the philanthropic and enthusiastic promises of those for the advocacy of whose lights I had lost my liberty— -I say I can well _nndei-stand what my feelings would have been if Iiadleft _* a * wife and family , whom it "was the duty of the advocates of tiiose prin-• _ciples to support , dependent upon workhouse fere .
I have long had an anxious desire to visit Merthyr Ty dvil , and that part of the country : -and that is the -first town in which I "will open the winter ' s campaign for the support ofthe families of Chartist prisoners : so you see the ingratitude of the few can never destroy my feeling for the real sufferers in the cause of liberty . Tour faithful Friend , _Peaiigus _O'Coxxon .

TO THE LAND MEMBERS . If I -were to answer every letter received from Members in fhe Land Company , I shonld emp loy at least twent y secretaries , or should nave a printed circular as an answer to each and all , and this is trie description of circular I . should have : — My Eeiexds , No one can he more anxious than I am to _ give general satisfaction to every Member of the Land Company . A Conference is to be ield on Monday week , when you "will receive more critical information than I can give , and
at that Conference I trust that some means will Le devised to refund the amount of shares paid by dissatisfied members , in instalments , according to the means and ability of the Company * , while the * members -will see b y my balance sheet since the last settlement , that I have the greatest right to complain . I trust that this will be a sufficient apology to all who expect that tliey should receive a vmtten answer to their applications . Faithfully yours , J _^ EAEGUS _O'COXXOII .
To Her Majesty, Qtjeen Victoria. Tveli*....
TO HER MAJESTY , QTJEEN VICTORIA . _TVeli _* . Beloyed Covsix , — I have heard of your intended visit to my country with surpassing pleasure . I have seen that the Representative of my native county has placed his marrying residence , Trabolgan , at your service , and also that the _Representative of my native city has , with true Irish hospitality , invited you to a public dinner at "Fishamblc-lane .
As a stranger , it is indispensable that your Majesty should understand something ofthe maimGrs , habits , and enstoms of the Irish people ; and , perhaps , there is no part of Ireland , from which you could gather better information , than from Fishamble-lane . It is celebrated for its miserable hovels , and its naked , -wretched inhabitants ; and no doubt that the hon . member for the city of Cork was impressed with the desire that you should see the real state of Ireland . The hotel most celebrated is "k ept "b y Judith _MaCAE-tuT , and so distinguished for its cele"brated sausages , that it led to thc composition of the following parody : —
• " ¦ When tlie sun had gone doira , and the lof ty grey mountains , _^ _ "Were lad from our ticw by a shower ofhail , I _-ivandtrcd in sc-vreh ofa tew of tlioserouad tilings , Called sausages , made up in fishamble-lane . " _^ o doubt your Majesty ; will be deli ghted -with the fare , and charmed with the Irish melody . I re-ret extremely that I cannot offer you the hospitality of my country residence , as I believe thc furniture , which was very good , las been all sold for poor rates to feed your Majesty's starving subjects . However , if it
should p lease your Majesty to visit this ancient seat of a family , much more ancient—as regards royalty—than your own , my old bailiff shall meet you , and will show you fromthe hallsteps a valley called PARSONS' PARA DISE , and wherein you will behold seven fat shepherds , and lean flocks . The shepherds -arc of the medley religion that your predecessor Hesby YflL established , to gratify his adulterous propensities ; the flocks are of -the pure religion , which all the forces of your
predecessors havenot been able to uproot , and I would pray of your Majesty to look upon those seven dumb steep les as representing the seven wise men of Greece ; take council from them , and rest assured , that , however anxious your desire may be to restore peace and prosperity to Ireland , that you never can , and never will accomp lish that object , so long as those tall dumb sp ires constitute the _conquerors' trophy , and the Catholic people ' s badge of conquest . reminis
If vour Ma _jestt is partial to old - cence s my old Bailiff will show you Connor--rillc , thc scat of my ancestors , and will point out to you those places , lawns , and bowling greens which were turned up and digged six _and seven feet deep in search of pikes , in 1708 , n :: as used in those days hy the loyal L'ish people in defence of their country . H ' the sig hts to which I have called your attention should occupy much of your time , and if the royal infants should accompany you and feel hungered the while , I have no doubt that the hospitality of some neighbomlng peasant -jvill r arnish my bailiff with a three-legged pot , -which will enable Mm to supply yon and your babes with a wholesome iepast of Irish
foodpotatoes . I- " rust -fliat your Majes ty will feel assured that this letter is written in the best spirit ' , as
To Her Majesty, Qtjeen Victoria. Tveli*....
I was determined not to be outbid in loyalty and devotion to your Majesty b y the Representative of my native county , or the Representative of my native city . I have not transmitted this letter through your Home Secretary , Sir G-eobge Gkey . ° I have preferred the more respectful mode of sending it direct to your Majesty , and trusting that I shall receive your _Majestjt'S gracious acceptance of my humble offer , I remain , your Majesty ' s Cousin , Peahgus , Rex . By the Grace of the People .

Dukexfn-Ld.—Ata-Meeting Ofthe Land**Mcmb...
DuKEXFn-LD . _—Ata-meeting ofthe Land _** mcmbers of this branch , held on Sunday , July 15 th , ti * c following address was unanimously voted to F . 0 Connor , Esq : — _Xestbcied Sat , —Permit us to convey to you our sense of your invaluable services , rendered in behalf of oppressed humanitv . You , Sir , unlike all otliers of vonr order , have given us * ( _uie _worlsin-j classes ) a demonstrative proof that your heart is in its right place . You have descended low to help the lewly ; aud this you have done at great personal risk , fatigue , and sacrifice , such as no other could have endured , and this ; , too , without looking to your own per . sonal advantage . So far from this being the case , the fact is , that whilst the wily enemies have been trying to gull us with the fear of being _robbed . by you , you have been going on robbing yourself for our sake , until you have
contributed a fortune from yoiir ' own purse to'belp _rfledowntrodden sons of Labour . . All honour and gratitude is due to you from those you have served , and we wish to convey to you our deep sense ofthe wrong that is done you , not from your professed enemies , from them you expected nothing less , but from those whom you have doue tlie greatest service to ; we refer chiefly to thc Bromsgrove allottees , but we are glad to see , by reading last Saturday ' s Star , that the fault-finders are only a smaU minority , and that tlie majority are able to appreciate your valuable services . We do not wonder at your feeling their ingratitude so keenly ; but we do hope and trust tbat you wUl reconsider your _expressed determination to disengage yourself from the present Company ; if you do not we are lost , for no other man will be able to secure the confidence of the working classes to the same extent tbat you have done ;
we pray , therefore , tbat you will consent still to hold on the . helm until you have guided us safe into port ; And we beg to suggest tliat something might be done to carry out the plan so nobly begun * aud as there arc so many obstacles being thrown in the way of registration , we are mute content that you should go on without it , " deeming your word and honour a sure safeguard , and we are confident thatyouwillfinda goodly number prepared to place _foU confidence In yon j bat tbe _fearful and tbe dissatisfied , we think , ought not to be allowed to withdraw their money . A levy of sixpence per week , both on paid-up aud unpaidup members , should be rigidly enforced . The unpaid-up members who refuse to contribute to forfeit thc sums paid ;
the paid-up members who so refuse to receive their money back with four per cent , interest , when aU the members are located . We think the re-establishment of the ballot would give very great satisfaction , and become the means of infusing life aud vigour through the whole concern , Iu conclusion , honoured Sir , we "beg to offer for your acceptance our sincere gratitude for the services you have rendered us , and we sincerely pray that the great Disposer of events may long continue your useful life , with power to wield Eight against Slight , until all your enemies are subdued and grumblers scattered . Signed for the Land members of Duke afield , To F . O'Connor , Esq ., " M . r . Jon * - * Odebt .
Wisbeach . — -At an adjourned meeting of the members , held at Mr . Cutmau's Temperance House , Chapel-street , it was resolved unanimously : — " That this meeting , while it continues . to have unabated confidence in the founder of the "National Land Company ( Feargus O'Connor , _Esq . ) , will feel bound to comp ' ly with thc decision ofthe forthcoming Conference , and enforce and carry out their views and intentions with regard to the future , whatever they may he . That believing Mr . O ' Connor to be a gentleman , and a man of honour , they have no wish that the funds ofthe Company should be under any other control than his ; that whether thc present Company continues in existence , or its funds be transferred to one more strictly-legal they trust that Mi-, O'Connor will continue to have that control and management over its funds to whicli his past honourable conduct has so justly entitled hini . " Several other matters ofa local character were discussed , and the meeting did not separate until a late horn * .

" It was the opinion of all the -members present thai we will trust in Mr . O'Connor , and support him in carrying his plan out , and we hope that Mr . O'Connor will not trouble himself about the registration of the Company . We consider that we have been juggled indirectly by the government , and they have a right to return our money , and we hope that Mr . O'Connor will bring on a motion to that effect before the House of
Commons . Hamilton . —At a general meeting of members , Mr . John Thomson iu the chair , the present state of the Company was taken into consideration members were of opinion that the hopes entertained at its commencement would not be realised , on account of the opposition given by the government—the want of enersry and honesty by a number ofthe located members—and also the general apathy and coldness displayed by the majority ofthe members . The _following- resolutions were agreed to : — "That
this branch considers the Company will not succeed in procuring its registration without great and ruinous expense , which will deprive the poor members of having a chance of being located , it therefore -unanimously agrees , that lhe business of the Company bo immediately wound up , " " That no blame is attached for its non-success to Mr . O'Connor , and that that gentleman is fully entitled to every just claim he ha 3 upon the Company . " "That erery memher is entitled to his or her monev , after all expenses are deducted . "

Dukexfn-Ld.—Ata-Meeting Ofthe Land**Mcmb...
George Horsell . — The meeting then adjourned to Alonday evening , July 3 Uth , at the , * same p lace , to vote for the delegate . Thdre arc others who reside some distance from' * the place of meeting , who will no doubt' concur in the above resolution ; and we recommend all branches to take steps to get the signatures of those willing to adopt the above plan , so that the delegates may know on what foundation tp build , and that they may arrange the details to work it out without partiality . The above members are totally opposed to winding up the affairs of the company , as by so doing the government would have an easy triumph . Let them have their own timo , and then should they register it , no thanks to them when
we can go on without it , and we think we may if there is anything like a union of sentiment . What ! give it up , after all the toil , trouble , and anxiety we have undergone ! Kever ! It may be altered in its features , but the principle will never die . It will remain a lasting monument to the memory of the greatest political and social teacher and benefactor the working classes of this country ever had . It will live and flourish in spite of open foes and pretending friends . Tegive itupwouldbe tosay we are content to remain the slaves of capital . As regards the New Company , we hail ifc as another stream to the great reservoir of freedom , and those that think well can transfer their shares from the old company to the new ; but at the same time we feel convinced
there are thousands of working men who receiv * very low wages , tliat could not embrace the new company , inasmuch as . they have made sacrifice ' s to raise a little capital to embark in the ojd one . Let us keep faith # _Jlh these members , and endeavour to give them the land on leases , if they cannot get it freehold ; then when they are on the free labour field , they will soon work out their own independence , and if the houses were to be built on a less expensive scale , it would give more land to other paid-up members . " Get at the Land , " says our worthy sire , " and in five years every industrious man will be able to build one to his own taste . " We think that the houses shoii'd not be so much a consideration as thc land . —Signed on behalf of the members , W . Hosieb , Secretary .
Whittixgton and Cat . —At the general meeting of this branch , Mr . Darlison in the chair , the minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed , four members were nominated as candidates to Conference , and the ' choice fell upon Messrs .

The election will take place on Monday , the 30 th inst ., when every member is expected to attend .
Brighton , Jiu . y 23 . —A resolution was passed at a meeting : — "That our bvst thanks be given to Feargus 0 ' Connor , Esq ., M . P ., for the unequalled interest that gentleman has taken in benefitting tbe working classes , and we hope he will still continue his exertions in carrying out the glorious Land Plan , as it is the only means that can be adopted to make this country great , happy , and free . " Loughborough . —At a meeting of members on July 22 nd , it was resolved : — " That this meeting declares its unshaken confidence in Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P . j also its sympathy with him in his unmerited persecution , both from enemies and false friends ; and also from the ingratitude ofthe fortunate members of the National Land Company ; trusting he will set all at defiance , and persevere in the cause of the toiling millions . "
"Newcastle . —At a meeting of members on Sunday , July 22 nd—Mr . Robinson in the chair— -the question of sending delegates to the Conference was discussed , and , after a long debate , it wa 3 agreed that this district send two delegates . Mr . P . Murray proposed Mr . J . Watson , and Mr . J . _M'Farlane proposed Mr . M . Jude , So other candidate being proposed , it was agreed that the programme in this week ' s Star be read . Mr . Murray said , that the last subject should have been first . For if the resolution for winding up the affairs of the Company was carried , it would do away with the necessity of any discussion on thc others . Mr . Watson said , he agreed w ith Mr . Murray , that the last
subject for discussion was tlio only one worth notice , as if he was elected to represent them at the Conference , he would tell them he would do all in his power to have the Company ' s affairs wound up , and denied the ri g ht of the Conference to amalgamate the new Company with the old one . A motion was _theninadc' _-Thatthcaffairsof the Company bowound up . " An amendment was proposed : — " That the Directors be empowered to carry on the Company . " Which being put to the meeting was carried by a large majority . Mr . Jude being from homo , his opinions could not be ascertained . The meeting was then adjourned until Sunday , July 29 th , at fiYC o ' clock .
Hyde . —At a special meeting of members held at the School-room , Cheapside , on Sunday , July 22 nd , after investigating the position of the Company , various propositions for altering and amending thc present plan of the Land Company , were then taken into consideration . The Directors' programme was then read , and thc first and second paragraphs were approved of , but the third , when put to the meeting , was rejected as being a violation ofthe constitution and principles of the old Company . The following resolutions were then put , and carried unanimously : —" That the members of this branch entered solely in confidence in Mr . O'Connor , and that they have lost none of that confidence . They still prefer it to the protection of the Building Societies
Act , which is , like all other acts , framed so that tho rich have all the advantage . " The fourth and fifth paragraphs were examined , when it was moved , seconded , and carried unanimously : — "That Mr . O'Connor he sole trustee , treasurer , and bailiff , and that he employ such assistants as he may require ; that he buy , sell , and mortgage , according to his own judgment , and then peace and harmony will still be amongst us . That there should be a weekly levy on all members , so that Mr . O'Connor mi g ht raise the Land Company with a golden lever . The dissaffected will then get the full value for their scrips . " John Irwin was then put in nomination as a delegate , and , if retuned _, he will advocate the foregoing policy . The
meeting then adjourned to Monday , the 30 fch , at seven i _? clock in the evening , when " all members are requested to attend , and give their votes . Keiohlev . —A general meeting of members was held on Saturday last , when itwas agreed : — " Tiiat John Town should be put in nomination as delegate to the approaching Conference . " Mr . Town ia a thorough Land advocate , through good and bad report , and when appointed to the office on a former occasion gave general satisfaction through his honesty and ability . The members present expressed , as they always have done , their full confidence in Mr . O'Connor and the Land Plan , and they trusted that nothing would induce that gentleman to resign his situation as leader of the Land and Chartist movement . They deeply sympathised with him on
the losses he had sustained , and the ungrateful conduct of many of the Land members , but they hoped he would hear in mind that many of tho members were men indiffirent to every . thing but making monev , and- had entered the society as speculators and jobbers , to make fortunes by selling shares , without caring one fraction about thc liberty and comfort of the labouring classes . Bkistoi . —At an adjourned meeting held at the houso of Mi-. Richard ' s , Castle Mill-street , on Monday evening last , Mr . T . Frankh ' am in the chair , the following' resolutions were resolved and earned unanimously . — " It is the opinion of this branch that in order to develope a plan to ascertain the real number of effectual members , that every branch throughout the United Kingdom do adopt a systcm j to erase all memhers from tlie books of the Com-1 pany , who shaU not havo paid five shillings to the

Richard llolding , of Droylesden , " That this meeting is so disgusted with a large portion of tho fortunate allottees and members for their treatment and ingratitude
towards Mr . O Connor , who has devoted his life and property in their ' behalf , tliat they are of opinion the only plan in our present position is for that gentleman to apply to parliament for leave to wind up the affairs ofthe Company , and pay off all the dissatisfied members . " After the above resolution had been passed many ofthe members present expressed their opinion that if the Plan had been carried on as at first propounded by Mr . O'Connor , they would havo been going on now as fast as ever , and they declared that if the present Company was woundup and the dissatisfied members got rid of , they hoped Mr . O'Connor would still go on with the Plan as he at first proposed , and have nothing
whatever to do with the law or registration , as no one , then , would think of joining but those who had confidence in him , and those only are tlie parties to carry out the plan . The greater portion of the members of the present Company joined only for speculation and money-grubbing , and never for the purpose of carrying out the Land Plan a 3 a national benefit , as they care nothing for the Land Plan , or anything else , onl y so long as it serves their own selSsh ends . After the above business had been disposed of a motion was made and seconded , " Tliat the meeting stand adjourned until Sunday evening next , at six o ' clock , when the dolegates from all the branches will meet . " The motion was carried unanimously .
Mebthtk Ttdvil . — A meeting of members was held on Monday evening last , when Mr . Wm . Jones , ope of the members who visited Sni g ' s End and Lowbands last week , gave a very cheering account of thc two estates , lie spent two days there , and made a very strict inquiry amongst the allottees , and the old inhabitants in the neighbourhood . He had been of opinion , previous to his visi _*; , that a very large portion of the located persons wore indolent , but he-found them quite the reverse ; a more industrious lot of men cannot be found in this kingdom . Their crops are truly astonishing . He discovered that many of them had endured great hardships in consequence of tho failure of the crops last year , aiid he declared that sooner than the Company should be wound up he would present his £ 5 4 s as a gift ; and there are many many more in this town would do the same . He found several ofthe females
rather discontented , but they were more contented on Lowbands . The next thing brought under notice , was the nomination ofa delegate to the Conference , and thoy came to tho unanimous conclusion" That unless Wales be a district to itself , they would not take any part in the proceedings , as a very large portion of the members were disgusted at thc conduet of the Bristol hnd Bath members at the last Conference . Tliey resolved they shall not servo them the same this year . The secretary " _* iad orders to correspond with the Directors on the subject , and if thoy consented to the proposal to insert it in the Star of next Saturday , when the Merthyr members will nominate Mr . D . It . Morgan , Malt Millsquare , as thc delegate for Wales . All the Welch localities may , if tiiey think proper , record their votes with him , and send their opinions and their share of the expense towards the Conference , iii the early part of next w eak .
To the Members of tub Glasgow Bbascii , —As a great portion of the members of our branch reside in " different parts ofthe country , and are not in the habit of attending meetings , or contributing their share of the local expenses , we take tbis mode of intimating to them that a levy of threepence per member will be required for the purpose of defraying their share of the delegates' expenses to the forthcoming Conference for the west of Scotland ; and as many of them are considerably in arrears , we now intimate to them that as this Conference will be the most important that has boon held , it is expected that all who __ still consider themselves members will not fall in transmitting their lew ,
those refusing , or neglecting to do so , will be considered as having given up all claim of membership , and , should the Company be wound up , as not being entitled to any benefits arising therefrom . This , we consider but fair , as these members in a great measure have been the means of bringing us into the position wc now occupy by the withholding their payments . It is also expected that the different branches in connexion with Clasgow will take some such mode as this to ascertain who aro members , and who are not , as wc have no doubt that although many of the members will not now contribute towards the expenses , that they would still be willing to accept ofall tho benefits arising therefrom . D . Sherrington , Secretary .
CnABTERvii . i . E . —At a meeting of the residents on thi 3 estate , Mr . Belstead in the chair , the following address to Mr . O'Connor was unanimously carried : —" . Respected Sib , We , the allottees of Charterville , deeply regret the course of events that has caused the outburst of wounded feelings , ' as manifested in the Star of the 7 th inst . Believe us , sir , we feel that your position as Director of our Land Company ( glorious even in adversity ) is necessary to its happy completion in the location of our less fortunate brother members . True , troubles have bethorned our path hitherto , yet our ultimate success appears aa plain as the solar rays in their meridian spendour . Sir , the men of Charterville are settled down to their rural occupations : all vain desires and regrets for the busy hum of murky towns and ' Saturday nights' have passed awav . and
the firm determination of the fulfilment of our principles is strongly riveted in their place . We hope that the damped energies of our paid and unpaidup brethren will revive , so that our exchequer may again gloat in its thousands weekl y , and with the assurance that nothing on our part shall trove us undeserving , we subscribe ourselves . —Yours faithfully , TnE Residents of Charterville . — Signed on behalf of mooting , Jobs Belsted , _chair-nan . "In the course of remarks the general sentiment was great regret that an ill feeling had been engen dcrcu in thc Company against the located members , through the mioconduct _' ofa few disaffected individuals . It is ardently hoped that endeavours for tho success ofthe Company will spedily create a reunion firmer than ever . A Committee was chosen to collect subscriptions for defraying the expenses of tho government prosecutions of our unhappy victims .

_:,-TO _FEARODSO'COlJrTORr "ESC M . p ; " _^ Dear Siri , —I visited my brother on the 10 th ins t . at . Westminster Bridewell ,, and found him in good health and spirits . He inquired after you , and desired me to write to you , and tender his warmest thanks to you for your kindness towards him , and to inform you , that Mr . Macnamara , the solicitor , came to him in prison , and asked him if he would give evidence against you . My brother asked him to explain himself , when he said , " it was concerning the trials . " My brother told him if he-was called upon he should state the truth concerning the matter , and lie believes that if himself and Mr . E . Jones had been examined tliat the decision would have been against Macnamara ; and he states that
he never knew a more villanous transaction in tho whole course of his life . He stated , ho should forego the pleasure of writing to his wife and send you a letter instead , containing the particulars in connexion with the proceedings ; He is only allowed to write one letter in three months , and I have no doubt in a short time you will receive the next one he writes . I am extremely sorry to witness the manner in which you have been treated by a portion of the Chartists and Land Members , and their conduct towards you is most disgraceful after the many years you have struggled and laboured honestly and zealously to improve the social condition of tho industrious classes of this country . I hope
there still remain somo honourable exceptions amongst tlie working classes who can fully appreciate your noble . exertions on their behalf , and will not stand coolly by and see you sacrificed by the apathy and ingratitude of their own order . I pledge myself to give my mite , which will be 7 s . Cd ., towards defraying the expenses ofthe late trial with Macnamara , and use my exertions with others to assist , and I only regret that I am not in a position to do more at the present . In conclusion , I beg to thank you most heartil y for your kindness towards my brother , and I hope you will yet live down that prejudice which is the principal barrier to thc cause of freedom . I remain ,
Your sincere friend in the cause of Freedom , J . A . _FUSSIiM Seven Stars , Duddeston-row , Birmingham , July 22 nd , 1840 .
TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . HonoureiJ Sir , —When I was a plough-boy I well remember advocating thc plan of dividing the , land in small lots so that every industrious man might get a living . When I was a young man my business led me among farmers and squires , and at all seasons I gave my opinion respecting tlie evil of one man holding so large a quantity of land and not doing justice to it , by which I was - subjected to much scorn and derision . I have borne this for twenty-nine years , and intend to do so to my death , because it is tljo truth . Dear sir , when I first heard what you were tryi ng to do , I was convinced what difficulties yoti would have to contend with . Thc
teeth of thc land sharks aro so long and full of Eoison that their effects arc seen in all our country , ut you havo fought them well , without sword or cannon . You have given our nation one of the best boons ever offered to a people . I sec in London monuments in commemoration of great warriors for taking life away : your solo motive is to save lifetheirs for making widows and fatherless children ; yours to make parents and children happy together —theirs to cause sorrow and death , * yours is to bind up tbe broken-hearted and g ive life and joy . If your plan is carried out it will soon redeem the nation . Go on—the Lord wiil prosper you—do not flinch . I see iii the Northern Star you spoke of winding up the affairs- of the Land Company , —remember thero are thousands of the very poor who
have paid in anxiously waiting their redemption by your Land Plan , and their prayers and good wishes are with you . Thoy , so for as I have inquired , wish to have the plan of balloting again . Respecting the grumblers I have had to face them many times , such worthless lumber are not worth noticing ; thc sooner you pay them their money back and turn them out the better , as . we shall go on much pleasanter without them . Mr . Stone , of _Xowbury , with his family , have paid in for several shares , besides a bonus , and he otters to pay something each share to help pay tlio grumblers oil ' . We are willing to leave it to your judgment , but do get rid ot them by paying them w hat is due , for smokers and drinkers un ) no credit to any ono . 1 am , your well-wisher , C . Ges , Tailor .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . ADDRKSS OF THE COUNCIL OF TIIF . FIXS 11 URY LOCALiyY . Honoured axd Respected Sm , — It is with extreme regret that wc read your determination to retire into private life ; wo are not surprised at the _csuvse ; you have _l-esolved to pursue , when wc consider the ingratitude of those for whom you have done so much . Tho man who takes upon himself to advocate tho cause ofthe people must beproparedto receive a great share of slander from some , and ingratitude from a portion of those in whose behalf hc has struggled for , arising from jealousy in some , and in otliers because they expect their leaders to do that for them which they must do for themselves .
Dear Sir , we duly appreciate your past services , and consider you have been the cause of arousing the latent talent ofthe worlving man . There is scarcely a Chartist locality but that some of its members can stand upon the public platform , defend tlieir rights , and discuss the great Labour question . You having been the means of bringing about tho union of tlie middle aftd working classes , consider you can with propriety retire from public life . Dear Sir , we consider it would be impolitic on your part to do so at this time , you are wanted now ' more than ever , to watch this new move , and keep them up to the mark , for if you leave tho Chartist body it will split up into sections . There is no one in whom the
people have so much confidence as they have in you . We hope thatyou , who have stood the opposition of the government and the propertied classes , will not be driven from the movement by the ingratitude of a faction , but that you will—conscious of thc honesty of your intentions—continue to pursue that course which you have hitherto done ; and that you may have health and strength to be the leader of those devoted to the cause of right and justice , until the Charier is obtained , and until you have carried out your object—with the assistance of the trul ygrateful—of locating the members on the Land , is our sincere wish .

It seems to us that there is a prospect of a-greater agitation , and a stronger union of Reformers now , than there was to carry tho Whig Reform Sham , and to think that our persevering and unconquerable loader should lay down bis arms at such a moment fills us with grief .

Many plhns : have boon proposed , noiib of which . , we are afraid ,-will havo- the desired effect . - .-It is the opinion of all tho members of our branch ; thatthc Company must" be- _ronnodeled and
mademore ia accordance with . the-wishes of the members ; we aire of opinion * ,, that the- principle of bonus can give ; . satisfaction only to-. a- few ofthe members . Who liave capital . _We-bellcve that _nothing but the ballot , or something to the same effect , will ever give satisfaction to the poorer members oftho Company . Wc are also of opinion ,. that each branch or district must havo the power of _chosin- * - the land within its respective district in proportion to the amount of capital paid into the Company by the several branches of the district ,, no mntter what tho price of land might bo . for if the land cost from . £ 50 to £ 80 per acre , we should feel much more confident of success- than to _havc-fco-go-. one or twohundred miles to land that only cost £ 30 * per acre .
Some of us ave giving six pounds- per acre for land that would not be let for more than £ 1 in a purelyagricultural district ; but , in consequence of being near to good markets and convenient for collecting _, manure , we much prefer the former to . the latter . We feel confident that this plan would , give general satisfaction throughout the whole of the Company . AVe also think that it would be better to mortgage the estates purchased b y the Company ,. because _thafe would p revent thcra falling into hands , that might be hostile to our principles . We also think that ifc would have been better for the Directors not to have commenced another scheme until the present-Company had been settled , as it only makes thimrs
still more complicated . —Dear Sir : Wc . have such confidence in your honesty tliat wc care little about the registration—indeed " wo arc averse to having anything to do with either government or law , if they will onl y allow us to go on in our own way . We are well aware that our plan of locating the members in their own districts would not give you the same chance of benefitting the Company by purchasing thc land in large quantities , but we believe it would give more general satisfaction to the members of tho Company , and once move restore confidence , so necessary to tho working out thft _priiieiplss of tho Company , and through it our glorious Charter .

THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE NOnTIIEllX STAR . Sir—It _eften happens when a . man meets with a disappointment , and sees no way of attaining the object ho had his heart fixed upon , that- when hia hopes are almost gone , something comes from a quarter that is least expected . This may be said as regards the Land Company at the present time . Complaints , long and loud ; have come from thoso who liave had the least cause against that greatly to be respected gentleman , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., one who has endeavoured to do more service to those who were willing to better themselves than any mau in liis day . However , in thc midst of rovilings , let the members who have confidence in liim be of good clieor _, for ho is still their unflinching friend . It g laddens one ' s heart to read Saturday ' s Star , to find there that the members are about to bestir themselves , not in talking only , but in raising funds . This is the one tiling needful , it is tho mainspring to set all in motion . Cancel Urn ballot
and bonus together , and set apart one hundred allotments on Mathon estate , dividing this hundred into three ballots , and then make a call upon all the paid-up members to advance one shilling upon each shave they hold : the members that respond ' to be eligible for ' the ballot ; members who advance more and aro fortunate , to have a choice of tlieir allotment . This would be a sufficient encouragement for thoso who have money by thein . So bonus tobe returned . Were tli : si * l » n to be adopted , there is not a doubt but the funds would increase ; for three ballots , every hundred members would raise more money than the ori g inal cost price of tbe Lind . There _isiw compulsion in one sense in . this plan . One member may And it convenient to advance _fou ono ballot , and . inothoi for _'U'utiiei ballot . Thore would bi- no running into debt , each ballot standing on its own merits , and clearing itself . By giving this publicity , you will . i _.-iueh oblige a paid-up shareholder . I *? . 1 ' .

TO THE _MEMBEIj-S OF TUE LAUD COMPAXY . I much approve of thc plan laid down by Mr . David Morgan for re-establishing tke Company as it was first intended , for certainly it would remove the difficulties of thoso members that I should like to see located firs '; , and by levying sixpence per week on all shareholders would be the means of locating the members much quicker than any other way , and also give tho poor member- ) tho same chance as those having money to offer as bonus . I think that if I understood right thc _National Land Company was first established to assist those
thatneeded assistance , and not those that could assist themselves . Now I hope and trust that 11 . Morgan will do all in his power to bring thc Company to " its old form , and place that confidence in Feargus O Connor , Esq ., M . P ., that he so richly deserves . I do not approve of locating those who will not cultivate the land themselves , as thc motto of the Land Company is , "that every man shall reap the benefit of his own labour . " I hope that Mr . Morg an will meet with every support to enable'him to carry out his plans . If I bad a hundred votes I should g ive them to Mr . Morgan , and I hope to sco him at the head ofthe Conference . I remain , your brother memher , Thomas _-Waldiioj _* .
