We doubt nol that had the "wretched fragment of authority at Sedgeley , broken the neck of Masoh 5 rben tilting him off his portable rostrum , lie would hare been held blameless , and we should have been told that he was properly discharging his duty . 2 tey , he would , no doubi , haTe received the thanks of Her Haj 35 tj ' s Government . Bat the lambs have petitioned the wolves again ; and again fc ^ e &sj found the nature of the devouring beasts unchanged . Their hearts are as imper-¦ rious to the call of justice as ever . They can only
speak , act , and feel for their own interests , and those of taeir own order . This ia an oft-proven fact ; oce of every iaj Botoriety ; so much so that we begin to think it time thiit the puerile game of pensioning was abandoned , and a more manly and becoin nf stand taken by the people , it j s time to attend more closely to our own business , and not wsste shot on carrion ; the more espdciallj seeing that the " sinews of war" are wanted in other quarters . We really think that the money
and labour expended in petitioning onght to be appropriated to the hetfcer purpose of uniting and organising our forces and preparing for "the great day'' when the citadel of corruption , sow tottering , Ehall irrecoverably falL Fall it must , ere long ; for its defenders « re hastening its downfall more rapidly ihan _ i £ s assailants ; they are in reality thsir own sextons , and are labouring with a forty-devils ' power to complete their graves—from which may thev have no resurrection !
It may appear strange to Eome , yet it is neveribsiess tens that the pres ; ns administration aie among the best friends of the Chartists . They lave taken off the odium from us by performing the part they represented as being our forte . Thej are destructives in the strictest sense of the termphysical-force men to the back bone-complete—well tutored disciples of Ned Ludd ! They are now breaking up the whole machinery of despotism . Their ways will inevitably lead to their own destruction . In fact , the whole thing is out of order and must go to pieces . Our troops have only to keep their fingers off the trigger till absolute necesgiry gira the command , which she never will have cause to do if the people are wide awake .
3 tr . Dcsoombe has done his duty , and merits his country ' s meed of praise ; hnt he can only do his parr . He has striven in vain to aid the v ictims , it 13 now our duty to see that they and their families hare our help . Ths Attokset-Gesesjx said that "When the condnc : of a constable , however rash , had been justified by a verdict of a jury , the House was not warrsnted in interfering . " Taking the whole system into consideration , we think the same . If Kktisos act rashly , and Tuepin approve of his conduct , wiat right has Tom Kiug to interfere ! None whaterer . Tan-tara rara " rogues all , "

¦ j-1 - r- .. -i - nnr ^ 1 . 1 ^ , . . ^^^^^ , . , -j-THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION , AND TEE NECESSITY OF ITS BEING CAREFULLY ENFORCED AND ATTENDED TO . Ths doctrine laid down ty Graham and upheld by P . £ ix , ia the matter of Dry combe ' s motion in reference to Masos and his fellow prisoners , is one ihat leaTcs no room for donbt . It is naked , undisguised Toryism , of the highest water ; and there can be no doubt that it is intended a 3 an intimation of the purpose of the Government to "follow suite . " It Uh&Tes us , therefore , to be careful , while we avoid all cringing beneath the brutal force of
faction , to avoid at the same time all unnecessary collision with the law . The next move of the wretefces may be au attempt to break up our or ^ snizsaon on the pretence of it 3 " being SifegsL Let -as at least no * put weapons Inlo their hands by making it so . The organization itself may bid defiance to all the casuistry of Tory or "Whig lawyers , if it be adhered to , and if the law , all infamous as it is , be honestly administered ; if the oppressors are determined to disregard law as wtli as fastiee— and to stretch their power beyond
the limia even of the Corresponding" So&svj ' a Act , we mast thea meet the ruihless aggression as best we may ; bnt let us give them no excuse for breaking in upon U 3 . Wft have an escellsnt , an € ffeciive , and a perfectly legal , National Organization ; let it be -universally abided by . We are sorry Jo observe that , for a long lime baei ' , it has net been generally adhered to . So far from it ; It seems to US 23 if almost tie whole of those whose duty it was most carefully to see to the enforcement of its pro-¦ ficions , had forgotten that any such provisibnVwere
in existence . To prevent the mischief which might result from this negligence , we shall give a series of articles , week by week , calling the attention of the people generally to those provisions , and to the most proper and jadicfous modes of carrying them out . We are folly satisfied that , until human nature shall have become something different from itself , the peopled business—in their own association , no more
than in the the national arrangements of the statewill never b' e attended io as ii ou ^ hl to be , for their benefit without their own active surveillance . If too much reliance be p laced on officers , councillors , and leaders , the people will assuredly Sn < i that a great mistake has been committed . In the first place , we most repeat onr oft reiterated warning ab 0 U 2 liifl alleged" ^ meetings cf the National Charter Association , " - in this , that , or the other place .
The people must not forget , that the cursed Corresponding Act , makes liable to transportation eTcrxjnember of any society whose members meet and act in separate detachments . They must remember , therefore , that when a number of Chartist 3 resident in Bradford , meet together , it is not a meeting of tne National Charter Association ; nor is it a meeting of members of the National Charter Association , as such , though : Lers may noi be any person present who is not a member of the National CLarier Association ; ( that matters not ; a number of persons might meet together , all of whom were Methodists , and yet not meet as
Methodist ? , but as members of a Money Club , or in . any other character , nor would the fact of their ining all Methodiits at all constitute the meeting a Methodist meeting ;) they meet simply as Chartists , and whatever they do is their own aei , as individual Chartists , and not the act of the Nailoaal Charter Association . The National Charter Association appeare only in the persons of its oSoers and members , acting in universal concert . This is the cost important thing of all , for it ia the very ibing on -sviden the vaunted illegality of the old plan iicfed , and waicb , therefore , the p ? oplo must note specially .
All local meetings are , we again repeat , meetings of Chartists , but not of the National Charter Association ; if this distinction be attended to the meshes of file law wi 31 . be avoided ; if not , they will surely be run into . Now , we have told the people and the officers of the soeiery this , again and again ; we have repeatedly warned and cautioned s-nb-Secretaries that we shall try to bear in mind the provisions of the law upon the subject , whether others do or cot ; and that it is to fco use sending us reports , headed M National
, Charier Association , " at such a place , or telling us ihat the « General Ccnncii" of such a place , met at s ^ ch a time and did so and so ; £ or tliat no meeting of the National Charter Association , or of fe Gsaeral Gonncil are ever holden ; and y * t we are every week pestered with communications thus worded—causing "us an immense « w » fc * f , seedless trouble , and proving that the Pj ^ Jfls . from whom they come pay no attention to thh fet and most important part of tie organize iion .
Tj&Bd ihingB which may be so very easily avoided , onght to be avoided , and must be avoided The - people must see that no men axe elected to office but tech as will attend to them , ' The people had the -expenee—^ and no small expence either—of a National Delegate Meeting for the very purpose of Pairing tha organization legal ; Kid it -will not do to Eager it to be , after all , sacrificed to the incompe tence , featteniioii * or stupidity of its own officers . ¦ - Nesfc-n-eek tre shall show the dirtinct bearing of the lav : upon the National Charter Association as an entire-body , and upon the different and distinct bodies of Chartists acting and meeting together in the several localities . -

THE NATIONAL CONFERENCES . We have again to direct attention to the official document of the Executive , published on the 16 th icsfc ,, in which they Eay that at their meeting in Manchester , on the 4 thinst ., "it was resolved to summon three great conferences . Each conference to consist of delegates from each locality , the number of delegates to be regulated according to the re-Eonrce of the localities , and each delegate to be a member of the General Council . The First Conference to be summoned to meet in Manchester on the 16 th day of August . The Second Conference to meet in London on the presentation of the
National Memorial to the Queen . The third to meet in Birmingham . " And in reference to which we then said i—With respect to the '' three great Conferences " proposed to be called by the Executive , we really think that in the present depressed Etate of the country . the people ought to hi-re more information as to the necessity for these Conferences than we have yet seen , before they are put to so tremendous an expence . It is a very easy thing to talk of summoning National Conferences ; but the poor people , who have the money to find , and upon whom there are just now so many , many drags , ought to be well
satisfied of the abiolute necessity for them before they agree to tbem . Our own opinion is , that there is no necessity at all for these Conferences ; at least , wejhave not yet seen any . If the plan of the National Charter Association be duly acted on , the Executive can obtain the opinions of all its members upon any subjsct much otore effectually by proposing the eabjeot to thdifcwrasideration , and requesting & general -rote upon it , toan by the much more expensive , and much less general expxesssion of opinion , which might bs obtained from a National Delegate meeting : because in the former
case all cculd vote , and consequently ail opinions would be expressed ; whereas in the latter case , very many localities being prevented , by distance and expence , from sending delegates , would be utterly unrepresented . We trust , therefore , that if the necessity for these three conferences be apparent to the Executive , they will make it apparent to the people before calling them , and that if by any means the expense can be avoided it may be ; that so the people may be all the better prepared to uphold the
hands of ths Executive with fund 3 for lecturing publishing , and other absolutely necessary purposes ' Wo cordially reciprocate their opinion , that " the strergth of the Executive lies in the command cf funds , and their weakness consists in not being supported . " . We trust to see them much better supported in this way than they have ever yet been ; aud for that reason we are very anxious that ike resources of the people should not be subjected to needless drains .
We are yet of the same opinion . And we have not heard that the Executive have given any more sufficient reasons to the people for the calling of these conferences , than was given in the document referred to . We now call attention to the subject ; that , if the people do call these , conferences , it may be done rightly and legally , giving no handle for the enemy to lay hold of . The 16 : h of August drawa near ; Mid the psopia if they mean to have a " National " Conference , should begin to prepare . In the
first place every delegate sent to tht 3 " Conference " must "be elected at a public meeting . Not a public meeting of the Chartist Association , but an opea public meeting—a public meeting of the inhabitants of the place , called for the purpose . . This must be particularly attended to . Any man going there merely a 3 a delegate from any particular Chartist body would render the whole proceedings illegal ,- and every member of the Conference liable to imprisonment . If , therefore , the Conference is to be holden , every placa sendiag a delegate must call a public meeting for his election .
we perceive that the Executive require that every delegate shall be a member of the General Council . We should like to know what reabou they have for this requirement . It is quits clear to as that there is nothing in the plan of organization to warrant it ; and it is surely in the very teeth of democratic principle . Woadrioa tha p « opl « to elect , if they elect anybody , such men as they have confidence in , whether Members of the General Council or not ; at all events unle 33 the Executive show some reason why the delegates should bo Members of the General Council . Individually , our opinion is , that these Conferences had far better be postponed , nt least until the result of the explanations of the Executive in answer to the Leicestershire delegates be known and settled .

GLORIOUS VICTORY OVER THE DEADLY ENEMIES OP THE PEOP ^ B . THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THB CHURCH OF SCOTLAND - ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' ¦ : ' : , ;; ¦ ¦ ¦ ; , ¦'' . ¦ Last week , placards of a tremendous s ' ze were postetl up on every corner of the good city of Aberdeen , an nouncibg that a public meeting would ba held in Trinity Church , for the purpose of heaTin ^ Di ' v Ciihdlish , ( the law-defying , iaterdiot-teating organ of the Non-Inti-usionisto ) oa the present position and prospects of the Church of Scotland , on the eyenhig of Tuesday , the 20 th inst .. at half-past six o ' clock .
This meeting having been brought , under tbe notice of the Aberdeen Charter Union , it was resolved by them to attend , and raise their voice on bi-half of popular freedom and suflfering humanity ; and , as it baabaen attempted by the General Assembly to make a stab at Chartism , through the sides of the R av . Patrick Brewster , whom they have suspended from his cfiioial dntias for having preached , to tbe GiasgbwCiarUatS , it was resolved by the Charter Union to move , as avi amendment ( to whatever resolutions might be brought forward ) an address agreed to ? by them , expressive of their doteBtation of the cendnct of the General Assembly towards Mi " . Brewiter , and their sympathy with that individual under the Assembly's persecution . It having become known that the Chartists were to be in
attandanoe . ail the cltrgy , elders , beadles , pew-opeuers , and other church f unctionari « s were bustling and driving about the whole day , mustering and dnliiiig their forces , resolving to have the Church packed before the Chartists could get forward ; and so well had they played their part that by tho hsur of meetiag there was not aa nnoccnpietl seat is all-. ' . the lovrer part Of the Church . By defiiess , however , the niolesliin jacit t 3 began to appear in all the unoccupied seats in the galleries , ( no time having been taken to change tbek working clothes , ) and they continued to pour into all the passages , and to every hole and corner where , it was possible a huiuaii beisg could be crammed . The Caurch contained all the intolerant and ^ i gotted—all the rich and respectable—ia fact j it cpntaiaed , in the estimation of the parties t / ieniielpas , evarything great and aood in our city . Tno appearanco , therefore , of th «
wo : king classes ¦ was very unpalatable , but they had sugIi confidence in their own strength ami tho precautionary measures they had adopted , that they were in complete security . The platform arouud the pulpit waa . fiiled with tho clergy of the town , the greatest of the lawyers , ic , with Sir Win . Sttou , Bart . Mnjcr Steward occupied the chair . The Rov . John . MiiKRAT open-id the mcetins by prayer . . " ' ¦ , ¦ ' r ... . ¦ . '¦ ¦ Dr . Brown then cime forward and read a resolution expressivei of gratitude to Gpd for having enabled the ministers and office-bearers who composed the majority of the last Qaiieral AsstmWy , faithfully and flraily to adopt measures in accordanca with tho word of Qod , and-calculated to promoto his glory and the people ' s good . This resolution ho aupported in a short pjwaoniike speech .
The Rev . A . L Gordon seconded the motion , which was agreed to ainulcbecra n bisses .. The Rev . Dr . CxhdUsu rose to move the second resolution . It was to the tffict that , the meeting express peculiar satisfaction with the resolutions passed at the last Gonoral Assouily on the subject of patronage and the spiritual indep ^ denee of tha Churcn . After a long speech from tho Dactor , Dr . Keith rose tj second the motion , but it now ! j * OM . ma evident that a storm was gathering . He ru-tdo . several attempts to BpeaJs , fewt wao mat with' tha most discordant noiac , and assailed from the galleries with ad much hissiujr , and so many epibhets , that ho had to resumo his seat , with the single r-jniiirk ^— •* . I shall forbear what I intended to say , and simply second t ) r . Candiiish'a motion , "
The CHAiaMAN now * ose to put tbe motion , but failed to gat at . ything like a hearing . . Hissing ,. hooting , yelling , and . screaming , were mingled together iu confusion , and the cries of aiijouriiinent were again resumed , and vociferously maintained . ' £ hd Chuuituvn at limes lookad " unutterable . things . " while the clergy in his neighbourhood urged him tp dissolve the meeting ut once . To this alternative ho teemed up willing to resort i and when the storm was at ' . ¦ its height , arid . Mr . D . Mitchell consulting behind the chair with Dr . Candlish and others ,
Mr . James Macpherson , who was seated feelow the south gallery , was seen making bis way to tho yliitform , and hailed with cheers and hisses . He saiil be had an amendment to propose oh the list resolution , and no seoner diil he say so than he was met vyith n volley of hisses that fairly put him down .

be free , or perish in tbe struggle . Are we not at present alao at war with China , to defend anil perpetuate one of themo 8 t wicked and contraband-traffics that over disgraced the annals of crime ? , . ' Is it hot fraught with the debasement ; morally and physically , of that race ?

APPREHENSION AND HOLDING TO BAIL , OF M'DOUALL , AND SOME OTHERS . Ths- doctrine of Sir JiMES Gkaham , that the police are to be judges of what constitutes an illegal meeting , seems to have been soon acted upon . On Tuesday evening , a large assemblage of persons took place at the Meeting-house , High-street , Deptford , which had been granted by the Rev . Mr . Pullen , for the alleged purpose of G . Thompson , Esq . delireriag a lecture oa ihe existing distress of the country . The lecturer failed to attend : considerable confusion
took place in the meeting ; the police were sent for ; and after some trifling disturbance the meeting was dissolved . Some of the persons who composed it then proposed an adjournment to the Broadway , ¦ which was agreed to . Hundreds who had been unable to gain admittance now followed to the Broadway ,, and in a few minutes the large open space Wa 3 filled , and shortly after the highway was blocked up . The pump in the centre afforded an excellent rostrum . Dr . M'Donall having ascended to "harangue the multitnde , was loudly and vehemently cheered . The address , was , however , cut short by the arrival of Mr . Superintendent Mallalieu
and a number of the force . The meeting wag ordered to disperse , which order was met with determined opposition , upon which orders were given to clear , and Dr . LrDDaall was pulled down from the pump , and several of tho Chartist leaders were taken in custody to the station house , the police being assailed by yells and groans . M'Donall was detained in the Station House all n gat , though good bail had been offered for him ; he was next morning examined at great length before Mr , Jeremt , and ultimately liberated , on giving bond , himself in £ 50 , and two sureties in £ 25 each , to be of good behaviour for six months .

Mb . Aixcock writes to urge on Chartists generally the necessity of upholding Cleave ' s Chartist Circular . He says . — " It must be in the recollection of the readers of the Star that our friend , Fear gus O'Connor , promised to write for the Circular . and rec&mmended , in order to keep it afloat , that each subscriber enlist one—that yeould double the number . I have acted on his : advice ; and instead of one , I have enlisted twenty . The following is the plan J adopted : —I took one in nig pocket to a beer-shop . I read it . I sold it immediately , and thus I have succeeded , and my fr iends look for them every Saturday night . A friend of mine took two with him into the fields , and sat down on the bank to read one . A native of
Ireland passing at the time , inquired what it was and requested to look at it . He said it was what he wanted , and requested to purchase it , which he did , and said he would not neglect having them every week while )* e could get them . In , conclusion , I should recommend my brother Chartists to go mid do likewise '' All Monies received for the relief fund of Messrs . Mason and Co . to be sent to the treasurer of the Relief Committee , Mr . Samuel Cooke , draper , Dudley . Ebeob in our last . —The 3 s . noticed in lost week ' s SJar , from the females ofShoreditch , per Mrs . Newley , for the widow of the martyred Holberry , should have been 11 from the female Chartists of
the 7 ' oicer Hamlets , per Mrs . Newley . A Suffolk Chabtist writes : — "Brother Chartists of England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales , let us set apart one day for a National Tribute ; say the 1 st of September , —that is a shooting day amongst the nobs . Let us see if we cannot have a fire on that day ; let us try < md shoot two or three thousand pounds into the exchequer of ihe National Executive . I think it may be done . I know that there are thousands who cannot spare a penny ; but I think that forty or fifty thousand Chartists may be found who can each fire a shilling ball on that day , ihe 1 st of September . Some , perhaps , wilt fire a half crown ball , some a twoshilling ball , some a shilling ball , some a sixpenny
ball , some a penny ball , others halfpenny and farthing balls . Let us try it , brother . Chartists , and we shall have such a report as was never before heard in England . I cannot afford to fire a sixpenny ball ; and if I wait till I can I shall never do it ; but if I live I will fire a halfcrown on September the 1 st . You will say , how will you doit ? I will tell you : From the 1 st of August to the 1 st of September , I will take neither spirits , beer , tea , coffee , sugar , tobacco ^ nor snvff , except as medicine . Now then , brother Charihts , follow my example , etnd the thing is done . ' YORK . —The members of the General Council resident in York beg to recommend Mr . Harland Coultas fa talented younq man , and of excellent moral
character J as a lecturer , and whose abilities will render him particularly useful in those districts where aristocratic influence and priestcraft pre vail . Air . C . has been a student at the Wesleyan Theological Institute , London , being intended for the Wesleyan ministry ; but preferring the universal principles of Chartism to the sectarian principles ofmethodism . he has joined the ranks of the people , with a desire to make himself useful in their cause . A ddress— Wm . Cordeux , Mtcklegate , York . Attendance of LECTURERS . — We have often had occasion to publish the just complaints of the people of inattention of lecturers to their appoi ? itments . It is really shameful : persons have a
right to refuse io be appointed as lecturers . 'but once appointed , they have no right to trifle with the feelings and expectations of the people . We have this week received the following ; to which we call the attention of the parties concerned : — "Ii is an eartrcmci ' y unpleasant task , at all times , to find fault ; but in this instmice I cannot refrain from doing so , conceiving as I do , that this locality ( Waterloo-road ) has been subject to a very great deal of neglect by our lecturers . On Monday week we were promised Ihe attendance of a Uclurer , and we assembled earlier than usual to facilitate ihe business of the locality , in order th'it there should be no interruption during the delivery of the leclvre ; but tec were doomed
to disappointment—no lecturer attended . One of the members of our Council wrote to Mt . Wheeler on the subject j and received for reply a statement , that he could not account for the absence of the lecturer , as he had never known him disappoint a meeting before : however we m ' < ghl depend on Mr . Farrer being with us on the following meeting night . ' Consequently , we circulated the good news as extensively as possible , and it was also announced in your paper . The result was , that we had a numerous meeting last evening , but again were doomed to disappointment : and I do think , Sir , that these frequent disappointments on the part of onr lecturers are
the means of injuring our glorious cause , and oj keening miny persons who would have espoused Our principles Jrom enToKi ^ g themselves amuugxt ¦ us , and consequently weakening our funds . 1 have to apologise for taking up your time , but I do it in the hope that you will be pleased to notice it , in a short paragraph , in your next Star . " Robeht Allen has sent us a very long letter , closely written on both sides of the paper , white he sends at the same time three pa « es of blank paper . We have not even read his letter , nor shall ice do so . A Constant Reader , Manchester , J . W . Clarke , A Chartist of the Old School , Richard Workman , Barracoui ; ' ! . —No room .
A Chastist . —Mossley . —The whole system new acted on for Ihe nomination end election of members to the General Council is a bad and vicious one . We shall , in trie course of our organization articles , have much to say about it .
