abore -all we have ever written , prove the strong nnion and great sympathy which now exists among the working classes ; not upon mere personal matters but npon general principles . Here we find strangers to the New Poor Law taking the word of their brethren as their guide , and actually cheering the return ^ of the proprietor of the Times newspaper , because their brethren of Nottingham consider his , even his , return as a stab in the side of the enemy . They say thifl measure must be a searing iron to the souls of our English fellow-labourers , & serpent , a scorpion , & dagger , a devil , else would they never join in the return of a Tory to mark their condemnation of it . If the Learned Advocates make no better defence for their other clients , God help the
clients ! We rejoice to see Lowest once more in the straight path : we were convinced that his error was but that of momentary anxiety to deal any even a too ha 3 ty and injudicious blow at the old offender . He has now got them right before him , and let Mm leather away .

&PECIMEXS of the Portrait of that real Irish Patriot , Robert Emmett , Esq ., Barrister-at-Law , wbo was murdered by the Tories in 1803 , are now in the hinds of our several Agents , and to which we invite Bpecial attention . Emmett is represented as he stood in the Dock , awaiting sentence of death , at the close of his memorable speech in which he had defied his persecutors to do their worst , and in , which he had enumerated some of their many crimes against the people , whose resistance he
justified , and whose defeat he deplored . When the Portrait is presented , which it will be during the course of next month , or early in July , we shs . ll print in the Star a Memoir of the brave and heroic Emmett , which will include the speech above spoken of . Subscribers * names must be entered immediately , as it will be presented to none else . The next Plate we shall prepare for presentation after Emmett is the " Monmouth Court House . " It is far advanced towards completion .

A little reflection irill show him that this would impose an immense amount of unnecessary trouble Monies are sent here ; we acknowledge the separate sums ; and hand them over to the Comrmtiee— not eftry week ; but , as required , in tolerqbly round sums : and hence , in their balance-sheets , the sums appear as they receive
them from us . To insert the separate items again would be filling the paper to no purpose . John Wratha }! . —The enigma has been answered .

Miu Andrew Gardinkr , sub-Secretary of the Leeds National Charter Association , meeting in Fish Market , would be glad to know the address of any Chartists residing in Newry , or any other post town in Ireland , icfto may be desirous of receiving the Norther Star . JOH 5 Gordon . — We cannot insert his communication in its present form : it is vague , and would defeat its own purpose by failing to name or describe the person . If »{ did name or describe him it would be libellous , and liable to prosecution . Isaac Nickolis . —His lines will not suit us . W . H . CotroN writes thus : —London , Manchester , Glasgow , Leicester , and other places , can have
their cheap Chartist publications , and why , 'in the name of common sense , cannot the people of Birmingham and the three counties have their ' s ? Has the glorious spirit that was once the predominant feature of the brave sons of the above counties gone quite dead , or is it only sleeping 1 If sleeping—arouse yourselves , and endeavour io prove to the world that you know your rights , and , "knowing , dare maintain them . " No doubt it will be said , in the present unsettled slate of trade we shall not succeed ; I say we must and shall succeed , if you will but have the will to set about the work with the spirit of people determined to be Jree . With a cheap publication , we shall be enabled to dispel the
dark mists of ignorance which prevail , to a great extent , in the great nailing and colliery districts , and show to the minds of all parties what are the principles of ihe glorious Charier , and what are the duties of men , and what will be the result of succeeding in the sacred work we have so nobly begun . But how is it to be done ? How ? Why , here it is in a few words : £ 50 will be sufficient to start it and keep it upon its legs for some time , when the profits will enable us to still continue at the glorious work of enlightening our fellow creatures . How must we get the £ 50 ? Why , by having 200 shares at 5 s . each share . And cannot we find 200 Chartists in the three large counties above mentioned ? for instance , Birmingham 80 shares , Stourbridge 20 , Coventry 20 , Worcester 20 , Bromsgrove 10 , Redditch 10 , Wolverhampton 10 , Staffordshire Potteries and other places 30 , making up the required number
which , to be paid by instalments , would injure no one ? M . B , Jultajj Habhey has reached Manchester , and intends visiting the surrounding towns and villages . All letters for Mr . Harney are requested to be addressed to the care of the Secretary to the Executive Council , Mr . John Campbell , No . 18 , Shaw ' s Brow , Salford . Can Henry Edwards , of Bradford , refer us to any respectable "known" Chartist who will substajiiiate the story he has sent us about the little boy and the "dirty waste ? " This is certainly much too gross a case to pass ; but as we do net know Henry Edwards , we must have it confirmed before we can comment upon it . We never attack individuals without knowing that we have facts to % o upon . Edj . vbtkgh Chartists . —Their address to Feargus O'Connor next week .

Wednesday Evening , May 12 . Nothing can exceed the political and polemical excitement wbAeb at tWa moment exists here . All our halls , little and great—all our private meeting placesin fact , every place calculated to hold an assembly is engaged ; and there Is not one hour in the six days , aye , and in many instances , on Sundays , that there is not a public meeting held by the political partisans or polemical graspers . But not a single solitary meeting is held by those parties to elevate the condition of the working classes . The West India , planters are holding daily meetings to guard against their ill-gotten wealth , which has been accumulated by the sweat of the slaves ' brow . The men in power , her Majesty ' s Ministers , are holding humbug ticket meetings for the repeal of the Corn Laws , and in favour of the voluntary principle ; both of which are to be their hobbies at the next election . The bloated bishops , the pampered parsons , and all the
other black slugs , are holding meetings for the extension of the revenues of the church , as by law established , as they say if they are touched the holy structure of Christianity will fall to the ground . At the late meeting , held at Willis ' s Rooms , for the extension of colonial biahoprics , the benches groaned under the weight of the noli episcopari g « ntry , or , aa they call themselves , the " unwilling bishops . " But motfe the difference ; at the meetings for the Sailor ' s Home , for the Mendicity , for the Shipwrecked Mariners , for Distressed Females , and numberless other charitable objects , lately held in the Metropolis , net a single bishop or dignitary , and scarcely one clergyman , appeared . As a ) straw showB bow the current runs , so this desertion of their flock , by their pastors , clearly indicates that the latter will be exposed to the rapacity of the wolves , unless the flock protect themselves ; this , with the blessing of God , they will do , as the conduct of the plundered , deserted , insulted , starving , yet patient , industrious working classes proves .
Amidst all this political and polemical excitement and turmoil , the People ' s Parliament are quietly , peaceably , and determinedly discharging their solemn duty . Their conduct is winning for them praise , even from th « ir enemies , and is commanding attention from all quarters . Their labours are incessant They are occupied from an early hour in the morning , to a late hour at night , in th < -ir different offices , while the only rivalship that exists amongst them , is the rivalship of serving the good cause ; and unanimity marks all their procedings . Not content -with canvassing members , sitting on committees during the day , and attending the Convention from five till teven in the evening ; they are at night engaged iu addressing public meetings .
On Monday night , a public meeting was held on Clerkenwell Green , Mr . Spurr in the chair , for the purpose of considering the awful position of the country , and the best means of remedying it . Messrs . Wall , Martin , Skevin ^ ton , and Barmby , attended that meeting , delivered speeches , and moved resolutions in behalf of the tax-ridden , enslaved , and insulted people of England , and ultimately proved that " he who allows oppression , shares the crime . " After the meeting . Inspector Penny was busy in arresting a parcel of drunken fellows , who were no doubt introduced for the purpose of Riving that blue bottle gent an opportunity of boasting tliat he captured a number of Chartists . Inspector Penny's plan will , in the long run , prove not worth a farthing . On Monday
night another meeting was held at Mr . toxe ' s , Frogmore , Wandsworth , Mr . Howett in the chair ; Messrs . Williams and Rose addressed the meeting at great length , on tbe Charter , the treatment of the prisoners , and the delicate state of the health of Bronterre O'Brien . The meeting pledged itself to memorialise for Mr . O'Brien ' s release . A policeman in disguise was detected in tbe meeting , but suffered nothing beyond that of hearing a few unpalatable truths . The meetwas crowded to excess . Ou Tuesday uigbt a public meeting was held at the Social Hall , Tower Hntnlets , Whitecbapel , which was attended by Messrs . Ruffy Ridley , Smart , and Skevin /^ ton . Three resolutions were passed , viz ., for supporting the National Petition , seeking the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and
pledging the meeting never to relax their exertions until the Charter be made the law of the land . The three delegates addressed the meeting , and "were listenened to "with the most profound attention by the assembled multitude , who sympathized most sincerely with tbe imprisoned Cliartists . On Tuesday night , another meeting was held at tbe Horns , Crucifix-lane , Mr . Matthias in the chair . Messrs . Morgan Williams , Cullum , and Rose attended the meeting , and were most loudly cheered during their addresses . Mr . Brown also delivered an address . Resolutions were adoi'teA pledging the meeting to present a memorial for Mr , O'JJrien ' s relrasn , to support the National Petition , and to do every thini ? to forward the cause of the people . — On the siiim .- evening , a third
meeting was heM in the cause of humanity , at the Anchor Room . Bath-place , New R- > ad , Mr . Fassel in the chair . The meeting was crowded by the inhabitants of St . Pancras . and was addressed most eloquently , powerfully , and effectively by Mr . Marly , Mr . lialla , Dr . MDouall , Mr . Morgan , Mr . Martin , and Mr . Barmby . This is : i tolerable specimen of the untiring deter-¦ mvnatii > n of the delegates to work in season and out of season in the great , the grand , the virtuous , and patriotic c ; ius <' . The few truu men / who are now repn . s > ntin « the people in London , have pledged thejn-elves never to ce « se their labours until they work out the redemption of the working classes—until they atcure the full
exercise of their just and fair rights and privileges , and until they are enabled to stand in the noble position of free-born Englishmen . The Convention scrupulously avoid all angry collision with any party , ano without making one enemy , are creating in all quarters hosts of friends . The people are cheerful in responding to the call of the Convention , and are proving that their ( the people ' s ) p « wer ia next in strength to that Ainiighty Being , atone , who in tbe Majesty of his greatness , culled that power into existence . Let the enemies and foi disant Mends of tbe Chartists say what they will , the Nottingham election has taught " the powers that be" an awfully moral lesson that renrhes the heart and the soul as well as the
understanding of aristocrats , autocrats , and tyrants . Chartism is tbe must awful hand-grcnaiie thai ; has ever yet been thrown into the allied enemy's camp : and all dread its explosion .

? " ~~ TO THE EDITOR OF T ^ E NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —If you wi 1 ho so kind as to publish the following in your next , you will oblige your constant reader , * J . Greaves . In peiusing your paper of the 8 th ult ., I was not at all surprised to see a biuall paragraph , purporting to have been sent from O ' . 'lham , by the Council , announcing to tb « public that my name had been erased from the plan o ; Chartist lecturers ; I can assure the public , through the medium of their own paper , that it is qu \ te true that I iuov « vl a resolution , at a meeting held in my ovsn native parish , Sa-idluworth , in favour of Lord Morpeth's Bill for Ireland ; and in order that the public may be put in possession « f facts , I hereby subj « in the resolution , which I am pmud to say I had the honour to move at the meeting in question : —
Resolved 1 st . "That the people ef Ireland have an inalienable right to the same privileges as those which are enjoyed by other portions of the community ; and though it is admitted the number of electors are much fewer , in proportion to the whole population , there than in a'iy other division of the united kingdom , yet we are antoni ^ hed to perceive that an attempt is being made still further to diminish them , by throwing vexutious obata ^ les »* nd impediments in the way of exercising the eleciiW franchise . " The foregoing is the resolution which I moved at
the Saddieworth meeting . 1 still think I did right in doing so 5 and if ever the time should come , when I should again , have the opportunity of assisting to obtain the legislative rights of our ai 3 ter country , as well as those of my own countrymen , I shall always ( health permitting | be ready to assist in furthering tbe great and glorious cause of reform , whether it be for Ireland , for England , or any other part of the British dominions . I am favourable to Lord MorpetU's £ o franchise , ( which was contemplated in his first Bill , ) so far as it goes ; but because I take 15 s . in the pound from the person wao owes xae 20 s ., dees that imply

^ hat I am to discontinue my efforts to obtain the whole twenty shillings ? By no means ; I am as much a Chartist as ever , and perhaps more sincere in the advocacy of the people ' s cause than a great many of those noisy , bouncing , new-fashioned , mushroom politicians , who are , by their conduct , doing all they possibly can to stamp with disgrace the cause which ia already losing ground , by having creatures in the shape of men fox its advocates , who are a nuisance to any society to which they belong . Tbe paragraph to which I allude also says something about bit-by-bit reform , and my assisting the middle
class on certain occasions . All I have to say in reference to this part ; of the subject is , that I have never assisted in anything but tbe obtaining of Lord Morpeth ' s Bill for Ireland , with a £ 5 franchise , and an entire repeal of the wicked corn and provision laws of this country ; and if it be a political sin in this our day—in the nineteenth century , to be the advocate of equal laws and real justice for Ireland , and endeavour to obtain for the people cheap bread and cheap food , I am perfectly willing to resign myself to the fate that awaits me . I have done nothing but what has been done by men who were far my superiors—who were an honour to the country which gave them birth .
Let those creatures who are the greatest enemies to all reform—who are constantly going about seeking whom they may devour , because certain persons differ with them upon subjects so important as the repeal of the Corn Laws , read the very valuable writings of a Cartwright , a Cobbett , and a Hunt ; all of whom spent their lives , sud some of them large fortunes , in endeavouring to shew to the people of this and other countries that we were cursed to the very earth by high rents , high taxes , and high usury laws . Let the people of this country look at the glaring fact
that the aristocracy , in the years 1815 and 1816 , passed a Cora Law , which has secured t » them , being about 30 , 000 in number , a sum of no less than from twentyfive to thirty millions per annum . Ought not every man , woman , and child to call long and loudly for the entire repeal of a law at once opposed to the Holy Scriptures , to the laws of nature , of reason , and of justice ? They also got a Bill passed , exempting themselves from tbe further payment of the property tax , which , iu the last year of its existence , raiBed to the revenue £ 15 . 227 , 500 , thereby entailing misery and destitution os the great mass of the people .
Why should the people who were once united under the banners of Universal Suffrage and no Corn Laws , in the memorable days of Mr . Hunt , be now divided and split into factions oppositions , upon a question , or questions , which to them are of the greatest importance ? I was always led to believe that Universal Suffrage meant Universal Libarty of conscience , of mind , and of body ; but it now appears that that which Mr . Hunt thought was right in 1815 , 16 , 17 , 18 , and 19 , those who call themselves Reformers in 1841 , think wrong . Man , the noblest work of God , is no longer at liberty to think , or speak , or act ; but in conclusion , I will take the liberty of making known to the world my determination to retain my opinions upon all questions , whether political oi theological . I beg leave to subscribe myself , A Chartist Com Law Repealer , James Greaves , Saddieworth . Austerlands , Saddieworth , May IOtb , 1841 .
N . B . In the Star , of last Saturdiy , I saw another small par ? 3 raph , also from Oldhani , in reference to a Corn Law meeting , which took place a short time ago , at Waterhead Mill . I beg that you will just be eo kind as to remove a very bad impression which it has made . The manner in which that article is penned , evinces the very worst of feelings on the part of the man who wrote it One Lees , the writer says , took the chair , —a factory master . Quite true ; but who is this one Lees ? Why , Sir , it was Mr . John Lees , a very respectable , kind , humane , benevolent , and charitable cotton master of Waterhead Mill—a man who is universally respected and esteemed by all who kuowhim . In a word , there 5 s not a person who knows him , who will . not at once manfully proclaim , that a better man and master does not live in our neighbourhood . I ask you , Mr . Editor , is it fair ? is it at a'l consistent with tbe feelings of a Christian and a man , that a man like Mr . Lees , who is so esteemed and beloved ,
not only by his own work-people , but by all who know him , should be treated with contumely by men who know nothing of him , and who are perfect strangers in the country ? I was present at the meeting at which Mr . Lees was chairman , and—mark well what I say—Mr . Lees obtained for every speaker , whether in favour of or against a repeal , a fair and impartial hearing He put it fairly to the meeting , for and against , and very truly decided that the motion for a repeal was carried by a large majority . A person in the body of the meeting called out for a vote of censure upon the Chairman , but the moment it was heard by the meeting , a vote of thankB was proposed , and carried by the acclamation of a very great majority of the meeting . 1 can vouch for the truth of what is here stated , and you may depend upon it that what appeared in the Star of last Saturday , on this subject , is an untruth from beginning to end . I remain , yours , James Greaves .
[ We insert this letter because Mr . Greaves having been attacked in the Star , we think it right that he should have the liberty of defending himself . — Ed . ]

THE PROVISIONAL EXECUTIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND , SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Never was there a period mote urgent in the annals of our country that we should perform our duty than the present demands of us to do . If we but exert ourselves as men loving liberty , there is every prospect of our obtaining the release of all political prisoners , and the Executive feel satisfied no government can long resist tbe just and reasonable demands of the people , if the people , by their virtuous and united effovts , wish to do justice to themselves . One hundred M . P . 's have promised to support Mr . Buncombe ' s motion , ef which he baa given notice , for the 25 th inst ., its purport being for the release of all political prisoners .
Fellow Countrymen , now is the time for tbe people to decide whether the Convention shall continue its sittings another fortnight or not The Executive are of opinion that immediate and active steps ought to be taken to raise funds to maintain their representatives in London for two more weeks , when the Convention shall have performed its mission , and then the members of that shall return to their respective constituencies to give an account of their stewardship . Fellow Democrats , if we love liberty , if we really feel for those victims , and their families , who have so nobly and fearlessly advocated the principles of truth
and humanity , we will support the Convention . Let us never forget the banishment of the patriotic Frost and his fellow sufferers . Let us remember the torture endured , mentally and bodily , by the good men who are now immured in cold , damp dungeons ; and , above all , let us bear in mind , if we perform our duty as we ought , the principles of our sacred Charter shall again be brought permanently before the country ; hoping , therefore , that each and all of us will do our utmost towards raising funds for the completion of so holy aud sacred an object , We remain , Brother Democrats , Your sincere Friends in the cause of Chartism , James Leech , President .

MORE "RATS" ESCAPING FROM THE TRAP . TO THE EDITOR OP THE RORTHERN STAB . Sir , —I hope myretraction from the traitor O'Connell ' a address will not be reeeived the worse for being late . I should have done so before , had I not thought that my name was of little consequence on either side ; but I now fully perceive that it is necessary for every Chartist honestly to avow his principles , however « nh . fluentip . he may be ; I would not have touched the Address with my hands , if I had thought for a moment that it was in any way connected with such murderous rascals , for I cannot associate their past conduct with any designation of a milder nature . If they , as a party In the
House of Commons , had stood by the people , we should have bad neither transportations nor death in our ranki In conclusion , I beg that my name may be erased from the traitorous document , and to inform the O'Connellitcs that I would rather suffer death than give np one atom of the Charter , or to . go one step out of the direct road to gain it . I am . In . the cante of freedom , An unflinching Republican , Charles Reynolds . 23 , Leskennick Terrace , Penzance , May 4 tb , 1841 .
TO MESSRS . LOVETT , COLLINS , AND CO . Gentlemen , —In perusing your infamous document , there was nothing in it thaf I could support , except that part connected with abstinence . To it , and it alone , I allowed you to put my name ; bat you had the effrontery to attach it to your rigmarole of Household Suffrage , Sec . &c . ; and , seeing that Daniel and hia tail are giving you their support , you may depend upon it you will be sold like tho factory children . It , and other public acts , makes him detested by all true Chartists .
Now , Mr . Editor , you will see from this that I detest their damnable document , as calculated to divide and destroy Chartism , which is out of the power either of men or devil to do . By inserting this document , you will much oblige Your humble Servant , John M'Clintock . Irvine , 26 th April , 1841 . We have also a letter from Messrs . Adams and J . C Binns , withdrawing themselves from the " new move ' gentry , and giving vent to their execrations of the trap in which they have been taken , in terms somewhat too warm for ua to publish .

JOHN MRINDLEY , beiure successive Audiences of upwards of Three 'Thousand each , tije following Resolution was passed by an overwhelming Majority : — Resolved—That the misery which exists in society , and the starvation and distress which have txisted for years , and which go oa increasing , prove , beyond doubt , tha , t the prej-ent stale of society is founded on an erroneous basis .
That the Socialists propose means for the removal of the evil , and a complete alteration from this state of suffering and misery , and are consequently entitled to the approbation and support of all men who love their fellow-creatures , and desire to establish their permanent comfort and happiness . That Mr . BrindiHV and the anti-Socialists have not proposed any means , as a remedy for the miseries that are admitted by ail parties to exist ; and their opposition appears to be grounded iu a mere love of the profits and emoluments which they receive from the Buffering people ; and they evidently have no desire to remove these evils , but , on the contrary , wish to perpetuate them .

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE STAFFORDSHIRE POTTERIES . Fellow SLAVES . - ^ -Every day brings fresh proof that you have no real friends amongst the so-called middle classes ; for if we are to judge of them by their conduct , we can come to no other conclusion . Refused ns we have been every place for Mr . Stephens to preach in , we are compelled to submit to necessity , and take the only spot of ground we can avail ourselves of , depending on the voluntary contributions of those who alone can appreciate the objects of Mr . Stephens ' s visit to these parts .
Countrymen , our objects are benevolence and utility ; the first being for the benefit of that truly patriotic friend of the eons of toil , Mr . R . O . ist ! er , who is now confined in the Fleet Prison for debt , and who ia confined there for his advocacy of the rights of labour ; for if he had advocated the side of wealth , he would have found numerous friends amongst the rich and tho great , who would have soon released him from durance vile , and have placed that man in affluence . Com * , then , and ahow by your liberality that you , the sons of toil , can duly appreciate his-worth . Our second object is to raise money for the erection of a Working Man ' s Hall , where we can hold our meetings , free from tbe petty obstructions now thrown in our way , by those whose whole wealth is the produce of our labour . We urge on you the necessity of the cast } and the sacrednesa of the cause ; nor will we doubt the liberality of our townsmen .
A tea party will be held in the Saracen ' s H « ad Assembly Room , on Monday , 17 th of May , at five o ' clock ; aud after tea a public meeting . Our objects are well knoxn , nor will the considerate and patriotic ever refuse their support . By order of Committee , John Richards , Secretary . N . B . —It is most earnestly requested that all persons ¦ who may be employed in any way in money matters will not fail to make up their accounts on Monday night , 17 th instant , in order that a balance sheet may be made out and submitted to the public .
