My Friends , —Nothing can be more trne than -the above motto . " Public opinion" I hare always deferred to , and even while it has been mo ? t stormy I hare nerer dreaded the re ? nlt of a calm . I come now to tie point on which I am about to address you , namely , the posrpoaemeat of the presentation of the "National Petition . " I will give yon * ome cogent reasons fw the coarse adopted bv the
Con-Tention . The Convention nerer named the 28 di of February tor the pre * enratton of tie petition . I dan ' t know who did . We met in London on the 4 : h , and at least twenty days were consumed in framing our plan ! of operation . If the petition had i > e *! n presented on the 2 Stis , it woald have lacked at least six hundred thousand of those signatures which it will bear . If the petition had been presented and rejected upon the 28 th , the ConTeation TOuLJhave been impotent , and public opini oa would have been at sea . If the petition had been presented acd rejected upon the 2 Sth , the charge of
precipitancy and want of judgment would have been justl y made agiiiut the Convention . The country approves of misaonarieg being sent in aid of the petition ; that step could not hare been Uken-in the inierim . The Convention neTer did name any dav except tb « day which vow stand * for the preseataiion of the petition ; and the principal duty of the Convention being to watch orer the petition , the slightest p rivilege which they had a right to claim , was the EominatioH of the day for its presentation . Agitatioa la London and elsewhere is ne-sr backing the petition , which we ahosld have lost , had it been presented on the 28 th of Februarv .
The summer time— that awet suitable for large meeting!—is now coming , and we hope to back your petition by the expression of public meeting held at Birmingham , Manchester , the West Riding at Yorkriiif 6 ^ ji » 'wcastle , Glasgow , Carlisle , and ¦ odber pteeea , and in LoDdon . These meetings have * ore influence than thousands of signatures ; and a * execution should promptly follow decision , we shall have die advantage of those a * emblages , to back yoar appeal . It i « . some gay , ( and I am one of them . ) to be the last petition ; if so , it should be as effective
& « possible . It could not have been so on the 2 Sth of February . Many conrtituencie * eoald not have entertained the notion of presenting the petition on the 2 s < : b , bee&ern they paid their representatives a month in advance . In fact , it could not have been done , it ought a « i to have bees done ; and if I ? tnod aloae , 1 rbould have opposed the madness of the projec t * But wnat do yon complain of ? Fur I write this in awwer to indirect complaint * , and to meet then is theoaUet . Of what do vou complain ? Do yon complain of your » ervantg having anv
power ? If they have no power , recal them . If they have aay , they kvtd a power to name the day for the presentation of the petition . I have worked when you bare been all sleeping . I have worked for nothing , except illness , a brokm-down constitution , and premature old age , now Middled upon me : and I tell job that the Convention was ri ght , and tbo *« w > . o censure , are either wroDg , or they are eremie * . There are only two ways of breaking up the Contention . The one if by phytital force , which I would retirt ; and the other is by pretended
friends , who dread the accomplishment of our project . Hav * joa not borne misery loeg ? Aye , too long : and bare you not appointed the Contention to terminate * at mwery ? Why then refuse tbem the s » bort period « f twa month * for the perfection of their pi a as ? Do you nppoee that I would consort with them for an hour , if there was even reasonable doubt as to their honesty and their intentions ? Do you iuppose thit I would be willing to hazard the laurels which I have honestly acquired by being * party to delay , if that delay was to operate again .
jour interests ? No ! 1 would perish first . When your j > etinon comes now , it will come with a voice ef -thunder . Y * m have put the Convention in the foreground ; they have nominated the day of battle ; and th *> n , if they flinch and retreat from any danger , may they rest in the coward ' s grave . B-t practice no : the system of your foes' by condeming first , and judgicg and regretting after . I write plainly to you . I write simply to you , I told you at Bolton that the 29 th of September should be the day of your redemption . I was ch'ded b y some for overzeal , and now we are condemned by gome for not having named the 28 ih of Februarv . For believe
me , that Universal Suffrage will very spevdil y feilew ' the rrjection of the petition , and for that time the Convention must provide and fortify themselves . Bat while I am ready to risk life and limb in your cause , lam not prepared to throw either away without a chance of benefit . Everything i * going on well in the Convention . Rtdke , Maesden , and Habxbt are as good men as we have , and pray allow us the privilege ef man and wife , to fall out among ourselves , go long as we are ready to j «> in against all intruders and meddlers . Your hardikip < are great , your sufferings are great , but the tiire allotted for the experiment to relieve you is short . Bear it—to * must bear it . I have borne
more than any « f you . Methinks I hear some one say , nay , you have never been huDgry . Yea , but I have and thirsty , and sleepy , and tired , and still have . Igtifceon . - I hsll yba then , that aa attempt will be made by avowed ' enemies and pretended friends to break up the Contention . I tell yen that I have refused the hfiDouraUe offer of liberal pay from my constituency ,

and therefore , I have no interest in prolonging my services . I tell" you that I firmly believe that bad the petition beeH presented upon the 28 th of February , your servants would have been guilty oi great indiscretion , and would have well merited your censure . Don ' t listen to the artful , the sneaking , and the futile insinuations of men who cry " Goon , " " goon , " without knowing whither they would go , or whitiier tbty would lead . I am an old
and practical agitator , and I tell you that not one of your Delegates would dare venture home , if they committed the slightest breach of trust . Rally round them then . H ' m , and hoot , and groan , at every man who would soap the link which binds us ; and recollect , that before you condemn , you must first try and convict . God bit * ss you . Whatever becomes of the petition , I hereby pledge myself to fight the battle through , till Universal Suffrage becomes the law uf thelacd . I am , your affectionate and true friend , FEARGUS O'CONNOR . Convention Room , March 13 th , 1839 . P . S . —Don ' t dare to condemn the Convention ¦ without trial , or you will be tyrants , nor judges . F . O'C .

THE GENERAL CONTENTION . THE POSTPONEMEN T OF THE PRESEN-¦ TATION OF THE NATIONAL PETITION . Discrimination- , pru&nee , and firmness , are the qualities mest of all requisite is those who are entrusted with the management of great public matters ; and if ever men were placed in a position which rendered the possession and exercise of these qualities eminently requisite , the members of the . General Convention are in that position now .
Seleeted by tie poblic voice as men in whom th «> people can confid « aiid trust , it behoves thrm to be careful that b y no act of criminal remissness—no nv em ^ ht or defect of judgment , they convince the people that their confidence has been misplaced , and that they are urequal to the task they have undertaken . "Tw not enough that they should meet and talk , and make professions of their individual attachments to the . princi ples-of tfath and justice it ix iheir great duty—the "purpose for which they have been e'ecttd—to adopt the best and most efficient
means for causfsg those principles to be brought isto practical operation . For this purpose they have been appointed to . superintend the presentation of the National Petition . Now , if there were nothing to be done but to get the p ? tkioa to LondoD , and caa « e it to be speedily presented , there would be no seed for the Coareation at all . One or two delegates might bate taken all the necessary pains scad trouble for such a purpose . The Convention is . appointed for the pnrpose of doing it in such , a manner as may -be productive of the greatest fxwabje amosBt of benefit te th * people . It is their -doty , therefore , to take into most carefal canridemi » n -all circumstances ; te be
EeitflerpreclprtarteUiirTearful ; but to exercise the b « t and joundesr judgment in giving to the expression of the national voice the loudest ti » ne , and most impressive manner . Nothing is more Beee * nary to this than a large number of signatures to the Petition , backed by the aathority of the « imult » eo » 8 resolutions of immense public meetings . These are the most powerful- and decisive- demonrtrationi of popular desire usnairy contemplated and referred to j and these will be equally great in the event of the Petition being received by the House of Common * , or in that of its being rejected ; since , if they entertain a petition of such a character , the number of signatures must command their most serima
attention to its contents ; while , should they dare to reject it . the very fact of their refusing to listen to the statements of so vast a proportion of the whole people upon matter * of alleged grievance , will be the strongest argument that could be furnished « gain « themselves , as it will prove indi * pntabrj that their who ' . e legislation is of a personal and party charac ter , and that they are , therefore , not fit to bold the scales of justice on behalf of all . . . . ,
For these reasons , we are of opinion tfrattbs Conveition have acted wisely in tkeir resolutipe " to . a efer tie presentation of thp Petition till the whole people shall have been aroused , and enlivened , and eniighteDed , and till all shall have had an opportunity of testifying their regard for its principles by attaching their signatureji . We refer our reader * to th « letter of Mr . O'Connor , which precedes this article , and exhort them to back their friends of the Convention , by making the Petition " a thing of frightful mien and figure . "

HUDDERSFIELD . Errata . —It is reported in your Huddersfield news of last week , that it was unanimousl y agreed at Mr . S . Dickinson ' s Room , King-street , upon the question , whether Owenum , wituaut Universal Suffrage , practically could be beneficial , " That unless representation was given so that labour could be-represented , no alteration might be expected to benefit this country generally . " Whether the above proposition be true or false , it is untrue tuat such an agreement was come to , unanimously or otherwise , at no vote was taken on the subject . I merely state this because many of your readers were there , , iu 4 thiuking , that if > ou did not contradict tbe paragraph in question , they might be led to suspect the veracity of your correspondents on other subjects . E . Priestley .
[ The report appeared juft as we received it . We will thank our correspondents generally to be accurate in their statements , and not give us the trouble of publishing contradictions . —Eds . ] Socialism . — "We understand that the Soeiilista of Huddersfield have it in contemplation to build a large and commodious UaH . for the holding of their meetings , festivals , &c . We hope it will be available tor all purposes of public utility , and thax tbe people of Huddersfield will be thereby I ' d of much inconvenience . We hear that the eMtanittee derived some valuable hints on tbe plan , &c ., from Mr . J . Smith , in his lecturesj » n Sunday . The Pkrmcotbb Poor Law Gwabdians . —We are glad to announce that a number of the 1
itmocotial gentlemen inthis Union have commenced taking up the case of these Guardians of the people , » od are soliciting subscripdoaH for defending the prwietwtion , which , will take place during tbe present as £ tz « s at York , when all the influence of the Whi ( f tool * wii be used against them . If the people do not bestir them wives at this time , and watch and work against their opponents , we soon ¦ thall have the law in its full force , and a bastile besides , as * we are creditably informed that the base Whigs have their new Guardians ready , and are making an unusual exertion to obtain a majority at the next Board at all risk , whether by fair means or otherwise . We should wish the rate-payers to watch their movements , and not to be backwards in endeavouring to frustrate their design .
Rural Police . —At a meeting of the Northern Union , held in their Tootn , King-street , on Monday evening , a discussion took place en the principles of tbe intended Rural Police , when it was unanimously agreed that its effect should be shown forth to tbe working classes , and also the enormous expense that would devolve upon the public by its introduction , together with taking from them all their privileges of protection , as they would be watched night and day by such a body of paid spies that no safety could be relied upon , and the only way was to agitate the subject , before our enemies entailed the system upon us before we were aware , as they did the infernal Poor Law Bill .
Highway Robbery . —On Tuesday evening week , about half-past eiyht o ' clock , as William Perkin was returning from Huddersfield to Wittaker Mill , he was stopped by six or seveH villains , who threw him down , and throttled him , dtid used him very ill , and robbed him of a silver watch , with Number 2277—maker ' s name , Shepperly , Nottingham—and four or five shillings in silver . _ A , man named Dyson , coming up at tbu time , alarmed tbe villains , who made off , and have not been heard of .

Mmdrnj , AfareA 10 . 1 . ., -V SUMMARY OF MONDAY'S PROCStClNGS . ^ Jli ciMnD Mkalino , Delegate for Bath , id . ihe Chair . : m- ? ftntistical account bropght forward byUlr . flichardson , ia calculated to hare a very great eflec npon the country , and cannot be vritkoutintinence even on the Gorenunent , -or it presents matters 10 ; aach a view , a 9 to preclude the possibility of jMmisters shntting their even any longer to Uie evils under tobich . the country labours , and the position which it shows the labouring classes to- be in , the privations they undergo , the sufferings they ' endure , and the amount of labour they are compelled to do , is such as to force the sympathies even of their hittfirpst foes .
We are glad to see a notice of a motion hy Dr . Taylor , to have the documents connected witb the proceedings embodied in a statement and published . We are confident that it will be of the utmost value and reflect the highest credit on the Convention . Mr . Halley ' s constituents forwarded their state ~ raents in a shape which would put to the blush the labours of any Royal or Parliamentary commission for the last hundred years . Next to them was the short account of the men of Cunmoch ; but all of them were alike important . One curious fact w ; as elicited , viz : —that in evpry part of the country the wages ol hand-loom weavers were under !»• on an average ; while the labour and wipes of masons vaned from 9 s ., as in Cumnock , to 18 a . as in Newcastle , and even to 2 a * . as in other parts . An important consideration may here suggest itself to the members of that body , viz : —whether by nniera they could not ensure to all the highest rate of wage * .
Mr . Sankey , in the course of his lucid observations , remarked upon the curious fact , that medical men had observed particular trades to be subject to particular diseases , and he had seen it often exemplified ; he would mention only one iostance , as in the case of tbe daughter of Louis Philippe ,, the late Duchess of Wirlemburfjlv , who was supposed to have died of consumption , when , in reality ,, it was of a complaint common to lapidaries , masons , « fcc , and induced from inhaling the small particles chippe J oft ' iu the course of their operations . The princess , whom he had named , was remarkable for he »< 4 evotion to , nnd skill in , sculpture , and he believed owed her death to that cause . Mr . SMAa-r ' s reports were also in an admisuWe atate , and we caunot doubt , but that when the other reports are received , a body of evidence will be laid before the Convention , from which a document m « y emanate , second only ia importance to the Charter itself .
Mr . Whittle ' s proposed address to Ireland , i » a document ol' great beauty , and although it does not display the raintKe acquaintance with lrisu wrongs which Mr , O'Connor ' s ; .-address does , it is yet admirably culculated to win them U > our aid . It is essentially ^ an Irish addreiw j comiog from the heart and speaking to the heart , in stimins at once touching and convincing . Upon the whole , we look upon the pruceediug * of this day as eakulateii ^ to exert a greater iwHuence on the dt-stiulea- of the empire than any preceding one—as cnlcaiatedT too , to raise the diameter ol' the Convention to a very high pitch , because displaying their capacity fur business in a uaanuer which neither friends uor enemies could hnve expected . We skall return to this matter week alter week .
The following sums were announced as received for the National Kent through Mr . Craig : — From some places in Ayrshire ,.... ^ ... £ 10 0 0 from a few Journeyman Tailors , in Cheapside , by Mr . Neesom ..... 0 4 6 From Buniley , by M r . Hichardson 10 0 0 From Holhngs Green , per do ~ 0 15 0 From Wolverhaiuptou , by Mr . Pierce ... 5 0 0
Total , £ 25 19 C A number of letters were read by the Secretaryi all breathing eontideuce in the Couwarion . An address from Glasgow was re « 4 by the Secre ? tary amid repeated applause . , The Convention then resolved itself into a committee , Mr . Mealing , of Vnth , chairman ^ and :. Mr . IUguardwn brought focwardi his account of the statistical state of the part of tite country which he represented . He introduced it with reasterly skill , and in the most lucid manner , amid the deepest attention . We shall giv «? the whole of this valuable document at a tutur » periadw and cannot
fumciently thank Mr . Hichardson for the care sud skill with which he has , in t < o short a compass ,. preheated us with so much infofjoation . " . "¦' , Dr . Wadg tlvea gave in t \ ie statistical account from Nottingham , and Dr . Taylor , from Cumnock , iu Scotlaud , and Nrwcastle-upon-Tyne ; . Mr . Smart ,, from Leicester } Mr . Sankoy , from Dalkeithj 'Mr . Joneu , from Newtown , Llanidlp e ^ , and Welcbpdol ; . Mr . Hwlley , from Tillicoultry , Alva , Clackmanoan » Alloio , Stirling , Wilton , Kirkaldy ,- Duufermline ; Mr . IVnny , lrom Mindley ; Messrs . Smart and Skevingtou , from Loughburough and surrounding dwtticts . -
Tbe further consideration ef the reception , of reports was then postponed till Monday next The committee for Irish wroogs was then call « d upon , when Mr . O'Connor roae . He said be was in rather a peculiar positjim , becnuse , in ai >» absence from Loudoo , he understood anotbec chairman had beea araouted in his stead —( hear)—and he understood « Uo that a motion was on the books to inquire how the address came to be inserted ia- the Northern , Siitr uew . "p « p « T . ( Hear , hear . ) He would address himself to that in the first place ; . audi as Mr . Hetherington knew he was foud of appealing to precedents , he would quote , as a precedent ,. and tw a reason that he should not be considered- to have committed any breach of privilege , the fact of the address to the
people of England having been published in . the Operative after it had actually been refused ,, and recommitted . ( Hear , hear . ) On another occasion a report which was ordered to be taken by the Convention , was published in the Charter alone . Now , instead of blaming the Editor of that paper for having been too clever , he only blamed himself for not having been sufficiently active —( hear ,, henr)—but whether he was wroug ar not , he would bow with submission to th * judgment of tb * majority , and apologise for having done anything which tke Convention disapproved of . ( Hear , hear ,. hear . ) He had brought up tne address , and wished to present it long ago , but it could uot then be received ; and he considered that in giving it publicity iu the Northern Star , he wa » doing a service to the
Convention , by putting that into print for them which would otherwise have cost them a great deal of money . ( Hear , henr . ) Having it now in print before them , they would the more easily proceed to consider it ; and he . left it for them to decide whether or not he had sumcieutly vindicated himself at * proprietor oi the Northern Mar from aay wish to onend against the rules or standiag orders of the Convention , to whose decisions he should always be proud to pay that respect which he would not pay to the House ot Commons . ( Hear . ) It appeared * to him a dangerous matter to interfere with the prerogatives of the press in any way , and better that they should have the whole of such reports as » ere publicly read , than be induced to mutilate or misrepresent from being denied a copy . ( Hear . )
Mr . O'Connor then read the address which appeared in the Star of 2 nd iast ., and which was > eceived with repeated cheers . After having read it , he said that in drawing up ibis address , he had considered it of the utmost importance to have it different from all others , and as explanatory as possible —( hear , hear)—for not only must we tell them that we wish to obtain for them justice to Ireland ; bnt we mast show them that we are aware of the etfli * " they labour under , the causes which have produced them , and the remedy for them —( hear ) r—aad for these reasons , he thought that the address was not by any means too long ; and , indeed , had it not been that the Convention had decided upon sending out missionaries to Ireland , he would nave considered requisite to have made it much longer —( hear ) he now begged to move its adoption . Mr . Sivevinqton seconded the adoption of fhe address .
, Mr . Whittle : thought the address waa too long , and proceeded to read one which he had drawn up and wkicb . he moved should be-adopted . Mr . O'Conxok , although out of order , would endeavour to save the time of fcha Contention , by observing , that as they hud never , agreed upon sending ouly one address , he thought Mr .. Whittle ' s beautiful address might very well follow his own , ( Hear , hear , hear . ) , ¦ ¦ : ¦ ' :. \ Mr . PsruETHLY asked MrivSankey , aa Chairman of the Committee , wlu * h . of th » addresses had bee adopted ? Mr . Sankev said he had only been chairaan pro Una . in the absence oS Mr . O'Connor , waose addsess had been uaanimoosly agreed , upon . Mr . O'Connon . 8 . address was then adopted . and recommitted praforma with a view to tho ccwseotioa of some verbal errors . ¦' .: ¦! ..
Mr . WHiTTiE ' saddiftss was ordered to towanitttd . to the Committee with a view to its adoption and circulation at a later period .

The wsulis of theirmiwion went to prove that nothing was wanting to ' rouse-the community to a sense of their wrongs , and obtain their cooperation , than a little trouble on the part of tha Convention .
Mr . Knox presented from the county of Durham the sum of ' £ & . A desultory conversation arose in consequence of a remark of Dr . Maedouall , regarding . the attendance or non-attendance * ef delegated at public meedaga , and in the course of which , Mr . Knox called attention to the erroneous statements in the Birmingham Journal , with regard U > the number of signatures to the National Petition . Mr . Knox observed that , instead of l , 00 d > baviBg beea
sent from fwnderlano , there were m reality 4 , 000 ; and although the numbers from tb « whole county of Durham might appear smalt , it should be borne ia miud that the greater portion of their signed sheet * had been i « ent to the Northern Libemtur office , at Newcastle , according to order , and had _ gbne to swell the numbers ef the Newcastle petition . ( Hear , hear . ) He mentioned this in justice fcrhis constituents , and that the county might not bt thought backward without cause .
Mr .

Be said—A great many wde resolution * have been . bronght forward and got rid o £ in this Convention , alltending to the same object which thave in view in moposine for your adoption , that which I now bnng tmder yqur notice .
