W . Hall . Secretary to ihe Notdcgham Working Men ' s Association . April 9 , 1 S 39 . " Rev . Sir , —In accordance with a resolution pa 5 * ed almost ¦ unannnousiT , at tbe weekly meeting of the Nottingham Woriins Men ' s Association " , held March 11 . Ii 39 , the paitr ' al dnty drvolves upon me of adiresficg a few admonitory words to von r ? 5 pectir ; g your condemnation of " all ulterior mpisurss savouring of physical force . Not wishing to ca . a > e ABTthrne like d : \ i > ion ia the Convention , I
had considered it best to let the affair res : for a few wet-is , expecting tirae would bring to an issue so important a question ; bnt , observing in the Chartist Ee »> paper , of March 23 , the following paragraphs : — •¦ Th * Rev . Doctor stated that he had written to his constituents , and that they returned for answer and say , - That peace , law . and order are our motro ; zz . i that by moral force , ia every pracdcs-ble -. it . ozthl to b . ' pursued , liie objects set forth , in tile Peoples Charter . '
"Mr . HetherinEtonsnggestedthatDr . Wadpshotild read the whole of the letter , in order that the Con-T = nnoii might gather zaore clearly the sentiments o . " hi * constituents . "Dr . Wa . de folded up the letter with -wonderful alacri ; y . &x . d it insxantiy disappeared in one of his ample pociets . " 1 couii no longer , consistent with prudence , and the general feirhug of dissatisfaction amougst your ¦ ccnsdruesLs delay the performance of my duty . " In tie arst place , 1 must inquire if the above paragrap h * ire a correct report of what actually took place ? As the aniraiation of this qoery would evolve a charge ot eisingenucn « nei > 8 against you , which ^ e should , from our previous conception of your chafit »\ am itiueed scarcely can , believe vo \ i capable i
l ' hen you wrow to un , inquiring our scntimeuta on tke qusitians of physicai and moral force , and whetufir you was to consider yourself as a free-agent , jou ¦ snii rvcollect , and , on reference to the answer allacec to , rind , that we were williBg to try all moral Eean ? ; ~ b-. t that we were determined to have our rifht » , c-jine what may , " and consistently vrith snub cerermicjition , we are prepared and ? ha ! l abide by th- decision ? of the Convention , be the con--e wha ' t it wi . i , and & « we do not wish to deprive the Con-Tentiin of year counsel and services , and thus afford -aground for exultation to onr opponents . I am orocrcd respectfolly to request , if yon cannot con-- * denriously accord with the sentiments of the mnjsrity of the d ?) eg * te * . yon will at least abstain from aiij opposition to the discussion of so important a Question .
Trj * dn ? that the above will meet with that consideriiiou which will be most consonant with the feeiincs and interests of all parties , I remain , S . r . vj ur jOriirnt servant , on behalf of the Nottingham V .

Deae Sir . —I beg the favour of yon to inform the industr-ons classes of NouiDghana , Sutton-in-A > hrield . and Mansiiild , who honoured me with tke distncUon of bping their delegate to the General Convention , th&i 1 resigned my seat 1 ixt Thursday ; and your letter , which came to hand vesterdav ,
contaming a request that ~ if I did not conscientiously agree with t&e opinions of the majority of the delegate * " , that I would abstain from any oppo-dtion to feo important a question as that of physical Jorce , ' " confirms me in tlie propriety ef the step J had alreidv taken . I entered upon my services to yon on the accepted principles of " Pease , Law , and Order . " and the use only of legal and constitutional means to obtain the objects of the National Petition and th » People ' s Ckarter . I cannot , as a Christian minister of peace and goodwill to mankind—wishing not to poll down any class , or injnre any indiyiQual . but to raise tip from their degraded state the indu- 'jious and oppressed , and by giving them a share in making the laws , thereby secure to them
justice and humanity , as well as to ensure to all the protection of Hie , person , and property . Abhorring , is 1 do . the idea of setting employers and employed at variance , to their mutual ruin , 1 wish to see eixpliyers prosper , and the employed to have a fiir day ' s wages for a Mr day's work , " with wvery means of comlort , and happinets , and recreetion . How , then , can I accept your personally well intended offer * of free agency in minor maliem , and to be gagged in the free expressions of any opposition to the weightiest and mMt dangerous doctrine of physical force . He that throw * a firebrand amongst combustibles , must answer for lob consequences ; tat "if" I stood silently aad tamely by , and saw tae firebrand thrown into a neighbour ' s house , I shoalc be a coward aad a Tilkin . NoSirif 1 stood

crats , and the physical lorce rnen luconsistent democrats , be cause Trbilst the latter so vehement ] v condemn aristocrats for adopting that ultima ratio regvm—fOT appealing to physical force , eveu the last resort , they actuall y commence their struggle bv threats of arms . In your commission to me , a * your delegate , von gave me full liberty to try all practical moral means to obtain those " rights set forth in the N&uenal Petition and People ' s Charter , which yon justly say you 0 Hght and are determined to enjoy ; ont before one-half of those moral means are
attempted , which wonld ensure you success wirhout sheddiDg one drop of human blood , you would prevent me from opposing the pbysical ' force doctrines , because there happens tobenoi an unanimity of opinion against me , but merely a majority composed of tbe monntain party , against a mino ' rity of rational moral force men . " The effect will be that such a majority will iujnre the success of trie Umversai Sufiragft system of legislation inasmuch as otir enemies will say , > Look at the Couvention as a specimen of the violence we must expect if . we grant the Charter Suffrage !"
- feuch as the semple is such will be the sack . " \ es , Sir , that majority in the Convention will obviate national opinion , which is now your friend , and which , assisted by the growing discontent of the miadle classes , - will become your assistant to overthrow your tyrant ? , if you do not , by the ialse steps of violent language and conduct , afford tyranny a pretext , and throw your cause back for fifty years . Moral force mast in all cages be antecedent to brute , force , for even Napoleoa allowed that the " morale" constituted nine paru of the " phi / sitpie , " only one part of the means by which a nation ' s rights can be mdintained .
Theory , ef arm .-, without antecedent moral opinion and union of the middle classes with you , would onlr cause misery , blood , and ruin to y ' uur wives , and children , and friends , as well as to ' yourselves , and with this moral opinion and union ' of the middle classes with you , then physical force would be a < unnecessary and superfluous as it is unchristiin , brutal , ana infernal . Hoping that through the medium of your weekly - Nottingham newspaper , you will dome the justice tb let all my late constituents know my sentiment " , ana that I am stili a Chartist , though ' a moral force one . and that I take my farewell , praying God ' s jie =, sing and . protecnon , and that he will bring them their wive . -s-and children , to happines * here , aad to eternal joy in the wurld lo come ,
I remain , My dear Sir , With many thanks for the kind manner in which you itave discharged a disagreeable dnty , ^ our obedient st-nant , Arthur S . Wade , D . D . P . S .

REPLY . We would tVat this letter , as-igning the reasons of the reMgnanor : of the Itev . Dr . Wade . h-. d bc-en lecharacrenstic of detraction , and thereby prevented us from any otber reply than that of silence . But tbe insinuation ? of attributing violence to all tho-e Delegates aad Chartists who yet remain firm and no surrender to the patriotic aud " Christian principles , for whose advocacy Stephens is alread y in bonds . and which trie enemies of p . ace , law / and order , seem bent if po » ible to annihilate ; ui orderly tbe preservaaoa of that sy .-tesa . which a morning paper . undtT . tue . heai of a ie-. v nice pickings . a-s -rt > . iba ; the Beaufort-family . iiiuua ' . iy receive £ 4- . G 00 . ' Thus all those characters whosea : inins U the annihilition of the Charti ? ts . is either from motives of a pure or impure natnre , end not a few to gratify thrirown
y or an > tocranc ambuion . m order to preserve the . exercplary apostolic manner in the appointment of State BL-hops . If we wanted any proof or " the latter , the convt-Lti ^ rj - al c » ccuc ; aslh ' e above letter of the clerical Dr . Wade corroocrates the fact . — ' I . says the Rev . Dr ., entered upon my services toyoaupon the accepied principles i . f peace Jaw , and order , aud the use only of It-pal and constitutional means to obtain the objects of the National Petition and People ' s Charter : " And « e hesitate not to say thai had tlie Rev . Doctor ' s condact in Convention squared with ihe ba * is here jtatec , an < i wiiich h ; s superior education enabled
tnuse highly gi : ted talents to command , then hi . conduct must have sriven satisfaction to his constituents ; jor who , besides the adopted motto oi peace , law , ar > dord- > r , -tlecied him upon the supposition of his employing all those legal and consiuuiiuna . means for lhe > peciiied object ? Yet it does appear . that the Dr . accepted a distinction , without giving credit to the monl emotions of tbe patriotic meu who universally elected him , or why grounds for active o ; p : 'nents to condemn us , his lute constituents , for requiring his resignation because he alone was opposed to bloodshed , rapine , and plunder ; Beside- leavics these false in .-inuations to atnch to us and the Chartists generHllv , he al . « o
savs—•• Abhorring . as 1 do the idea ot settinji employers and employed at variance to their mutual ruin" jo a as if ourselves had bt-en in the habit of pursuing so recKl-5 » a line oi conduct , or at least tie principles cidiisg into existence the Nationa . 1 P » .-titioa and H ^ ople' -i Charter were fraught w ^ h such UI 1- EDgllsh con ^ qnecce *—or that the polincul aTT-eiioranou oi mankind , was an naderta ' sing malevolent of good . In order to prove the inconsistency of the Rev . Doctor ' s cendue :, is to show that tLase principle ; upon which he claims to have accepted acd entire j upon tbe pnulic service , were not afterwards prac
tised in tLe discliarse of hi . s Conventional duty , tkat is he did not briRginto practice , the theory of all those legal and constituuonal means to obtain ihe objects of the National Petition and People ' s Charter that might have been expected from talents sounquesrion » ble , and wLich already testify the signal position of procedure . To prove this with regard lo his public condcer , we remind him of tbe important motion brought forward by Mr . Bailie Craig , whose motion bears' cirect upon the case—** -Th " at a committee be appointed to take : nto consideration what ulterior meas'irrs the Convention
shall resort to or recommend to the indu- 'triouj classes j for speedily obtaining and finally secunDg tbosi political rights , shonldit unfortunately Lapwen that the Delegates fail in the attempt to convince the members of the House of Commons of the ju .-ticc I of tbe princi ples of the People ' s Charter and National Petition . ' " Now Sir" ! the above important motion was negatived , and which was brought on early and previous as to allay the fear-i of the weak and tirnid , which the open , " enemies of constitutional liberty ever avail themselves to alarm . Thus this line of conduct
aided those enemies , who doubt the sincerity of straightforward , hones .- , and moral Christian patriots , whose motto ever is , as the election and sub ' sequ ? nt conduct verified , peace , law , and order , yet notwithstanding this defeat of ulterior measures by tbe adoption of the amendment—the Convention was * ali being accused of blood , rapine , and plunder , by all such papers as the Chronicle , while the line of coaductperseverpd in by the Doctor appeared to coriinn the Chnnkle ' s vie ^ s . Thu < the Doctor ' s conduct in Conveurion is like thi < last public act , which con tinces to breathe the same spirit of opposition—attributiftg like the base hirelings of the provincial press—the won-i possible motives to the placed Chartiits ; while those having seats in Convention , and ^ who > e exertions and splendid talents , enabled them to rise above their fellows were alike
implicated , although their redoubted position were precisely constitntfona —the ; arre principles which the Doctor claims of having entered npon his servi- ces , yet never brought the theory of them in to practice , ' but laboured with fiery zea . 1 to obstruct their ; progress , by mooring or provoking absurd discussion and apon physical force—absurd , because ihe Con- : vention had already bound itself to await the re . « ult i of presentation , or new initractions . Still the ! Doctor continues an opposition , as if to frustrate the news of the avowed leaders o ! the people , whose i fame appears to have much mortified him , for not ' sufficient with what the privilege of debate allowed } — he must needs write a letter ^ o the Mwning CJnt > - i nicle . But above all his correspondence with the J Whig Nottingham pre » s—praising an article that ! vilifies the Chartists , and consequently hislaie con- j stituents . which act is as shabby as any pair of worn oat shnffle br <* eche ? seen in the purlieus of Baliol College .
Having shewn that his conduct is inconsistent with the acksowledgfd principles , which he states he entered upon his services—while his correspondence with those otherwise than Chartists opponents in our neighbourhood , who appear prerious to his letter to the crabbed cacophony of the Mercury to have corresponded with—still the Nottingham Working-men ' * -Association—the only reputed patriotic and disinterested public body in the town , and the medium of communication to his late constituents , both in the town and the further
organizedyet charged by the Doctor , with > etting employers against the employed . May we ask him in addition to tke farewell blessing , to give ns the correspondence of thfi informant , or stand conricted of the unfounded calumnies himself . As to the secretary ' s performance of what yoa sryle the discharge of a disagreeable dnty—we desired him to inform you that we wished yon to abstain from an opposition in order that those legal and constitutional means might be made available to obtain the objects of the National Petition and People ' s Charter .
Yet , ReT . Sir , so far from acqnirsciag in these views , like base Douglas he Te _ -igns his situation , and even the manner in which he does that requires another disagreeable discharge of our duty , or the Chartiste of the .-uburb < , to * E , and districts might probably think we had re .-i ^ ned likewise . No : we are sr'hiuvincibleupon the accepted principles of peace , haw . anJ . orJi-r , abfl'Tr ::: ^ , a ^ we do , the bastiles—tbe physical ! orre separation of th ^ .-o whom God ha ? joined to ? et ' 2 v .-r , to the destruction of their

mutual happiness , and raisary to their unoffending children , lo ensure ourselret from such consequence ? , and procure " a fair day ' * wages for a fair day's -work , " are the reasons why we ar * Chartists knowing full well that Universal Soffragp alone can ' , from the appearance of aristocrat * , remedy national abuses , consequently we are for Universal Suffrage upon constitutional principles , come what may and no surrender ! The association , established under oojr auspices and guidance , notwithstanding the line of conduct tlourish and increase ; and we invite all men ol genuine historic and English feeling , to examine our rules , and if faulty , let them point out the error * in order to their rectificationand . if sincere
, in the professions of English liberty , join u * i » the Hoble and patriotic cause in which we are engaged ^ in which we mean to die ; but before that epoch arrives , bequeath liberty as tbe competency to ensuro happiness to our heirs , and prosperity to our country . Meanwhile the enemies of liberty discredit the . « e our intentions from the ignorance and prejudice engendered in their intemperate begotten natures . We did think the Rev . Dr . an ardent lover of liberty , » nd consequentl y an exception to the speculative theories of wild , ignorant , and visionary enthusiast Whigs and Tories . Yet , like these pitiable mortals , he has been led astray from the question , and , like a sheep that mistrusts the good intentions of the shepherd , wanders from
the fold , and , lost in the confines approaching tbe forest , unceremoniously bleats the misery of its fugitive mind to the delight of thegrateffjl wolf , who whets hi * appetite accordingly . Thus the Re * . Dr . has wandered from the practicable public duties he entered upon , namely , the employment of all those legal and constitutional means to have bean made available for the specified objects ; yet actually assumes the extraordinary i-iea , the revolutionary posirion of the country , and that while ninety-nine bloated aristocrats and families are still in the annual receipt from the taxes of £ 2 , 754 , 350 , this inordinate wallowing in the wealth of other people ' s industry , binds them conscientiously and rebgiously to the support of their own order , even to the passof the and
ing New Poor Law Rural Police , which constitutes the admired state ot peace , law , and order . Vet , notwithstanding that these acts ensure such pacific intentions—tkat one tranquillity pervidesthe lot and mansun—yet , the Rev . Dr . assumes the revolutionary position of the conn try . You would prevent me ( says the Dr . ) from opposing physical doctrines , because there happens to be not a unanimity of opinion against me , but merely a majority , composed of the mountain party , against a miuority of a rational-force men . ' Now had the revolution taken p lace—had the delegates gone in a body to Westminster , with the armed people at their back , like the Barons—with Feargus CFConnor like Fiizwaller at their head , and the Qaeen M {; ned Pupuli C / tarti , then nobody afterwards but mi tmbitious assembly , composed of priests and
; a * yers would have dreamt of a mountain party ; f > r the pretty gracious young virgin havingsigned ' affixed the royal signature , the very sight of whose name and elegant hand writing , allays the angry passions of the placid Chartists , a-i they gaze on the pretty and admirable specimen of the pretty name Victoria , which has the effect of exciting good natnre and a love of the classics , With these impressions the people with unanimous voice would put their physical army in motion , to tbe delight ot their fine moral bodies , accomplishing a quick step homewards to the tune of " Britons stnke home "—while the meddling priests , iactious scribes and facetious lawyer * would collect together those lawless gangs of idTe porters and reporters , and
cunmne editors ot >> hig and Tory journals , who would have composed a mountain party . Foamlike combustibles , would have been hurled ' from these dotards , cowards , and villains , regardless of the consequences , like Etna and Vesuvius , from either cratt-r—decreeing destruction to themselves and desoUrion to the country . But how stands the question with reference to the Doctor ' s supposition of a mountain party . The delirious idea of a French revolution occurring in England , which , though a thing impossible , y et gravely enough pre-supposed by a Doctor in Divinity—yet however , admitting the most illusire imagery possible to be conceived , to be as the Rev . Doctor assumes , —does not Mr . B . Craig ' s motion anuiLilate ulterior measures by the adoption ef the
amendment .- Most certainly ! Then why were not the accepted legal and constitutional " priuciples proceeded with , to obtain the objects of the National Petition and People ' s Charter , seeing those quest . ons so oft mooted by the Doctor , were altogether foreirn . superfluous , and unnecessary to the question ? The duties of a Conventionist being the use ol legal and constitutional means , the principles upon which the Rev . Doctor asserts he enters upon his services to promote , yet shamefully deserts , his duty ; for there is no difference of opinion upon the basis of procedure , as acknowledged by tbe Rev . Doctor—that is , the use of all legal and constitutional means for the restoration of the rights and liberties ot Er . ^ lishujen . By order ol the Working Men ' s Association ,
W . Hall , Secretary . Committee Rooms , Halifax-place , Nottingham , April 8 th , 1 W 9 , N . B . It appears from the above remarks , that th-. re i * no difference of opinion between the Rev . Dr . \ l _ ade and his late constituents j inasmuch as . rppchtic conduct is apparent from the investigation . The question answered what are all the legfil and constitutional means Englishmen can employ for the maintenance of natural birthrights and liberties , guaranteed by a iree Constitution when invaded aud when remonstrance is unattended too , * uch question , satisfactorily answered , would shew what real difference there could be .

IRELAND . Depopulation System — Lord Lorton . — Lord Viscount Lorton is deteruintd , even after the ^ ienai defeat he sustained in his encounter with the Widow Murphy , nevertheless to obtain a victory over his tenantry of Ballinamuck . We think tbii » pio'js nobleman will succeed in his virtuous and chivalrous enterprise , for we learn by a letter which reached our office this morning from the county of Longford , that his agent , having made application to the competent authorities , has obtained ( it is a matter of course , we believe ) a posse of one hundred of the Constabulary , two hundred Infantry , and two troops of Dragoens—for what?—to level to the
ground thirty-five miserable cabin ? , and to disperse two hundred miserable creatures to the mercies of the bitter wind—to tbe road side—to the shelter of tbe ditches and the bog < . It is not alleged that these ereatares owe any rent , lor they hold no lands . But , having been domiciled in the place , as on a common—if indeed , th * -y have not a commonage right by prescription—and belonging , moreover , to the Ancient Faith , it has seemed good to the good and pioiu Lord L * orton to sweep their dirty hovels from the face of the land , with the double view of clearing the estate , and settling a Protestant Colony in tbe place . This is one of the first instances which will be presenttd to the Lord Lieutenant of the
' : manner in which your Irish landlord would secure the tranquillity of the country—it is one ef the first instances of thfi tender mercies which his Excellency will have to witness of the condect of your thorough Protestant Proprietor . " Property , " to use the celebrated passage in Mr . D .-ummond ' g letter to the Tipperary Magistrates , " has its duties as vrell as its rights . " In Lord Lorton ' s opinion it is his duty to turn two hundred men , women , and children , on the road side —for tbe law gives him the right to do so ; as to owing any duty to the ejected tenants , his Lordship or bis agent denies that they have any
claim upon hia forbearance , inasmuch as they are a ragged and destitute set of devils , and moreover papists . He thinks priests and popery the curses of the land , and he will do his utmost to extirpate the latter , at least . This ia the day of the clearance . Tbe sub-sheriff will be on the spot , with his myrmidon * , and the police and the Queen ' s Troops will be drawn up—a delightful and dignified dutyit the scene of action , for the purpose of preserving the peace , while the work of clearing is going on . It must be admitted , however , that Lord Lorton has been Tcry considerate . He has takon care that
his Commissariat « nould be well supplitd . Brps . d , cold ham , porter , and other vivres , are supplied in abundance for the use -of the soldiers and police , duriDg the exercise of his Loroship's right , and in the fulfilment of his sacred duty to the people placed under his controul . We do not learn that any of these good thing 9 are provided for tbe out-going tenantry—but n'importe . There will be no resistance . Down the cabins must come—and out the people must go . "Whether the county of Longford will be tranquillized by these proceedings , the Lord Lieutenant , we apprehend , will soon have an opportunity of knowing . —Dublin EeeutHg Pott .
