      THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . / ' , . DEFEAT O F THE BRITI S H TRO O P S AT PORT NATAL . Cape of Good Hope papers of the 18 th of June Strived on Tnesday . They state that the troops sent from the Cape to subdue the Boors , at Port Natal had been defeated . The commander , Capt . Smith , thus announces the event in his report to tb . 3 Government on the subject : — ¦ ' * Pobt Nata& , Mat 25 . " Sir , —It is with feeKngs of deep regret that ! iave the honour to eommnnicate to you the disastrous result of an attack made by the force under my command on the emigrant farmers concreeated at the Congella camp at this place . .. .. . . . : .

      " In my last despatch I detailed the TariouB ^ stepB taken by the farmers to annoy the troops , and my determination to abstain , if possible , from hostiliites If it coald be done without detriment to the honour of the service , in the Tain hope ' of conciliating these misguided people , and smoothing the way to the quiet settlement of their lone-disturbed position as regards the Government of the Cape , But the receipt of an insolent letter , demanding that the force I commanded should instantly quit Natal , followed np by the removal by armed men of a quantity of cattle belonging to the troops , rendered it absolutely neee ? sary that some step 3 should be taken in order to prevent the repetition of such outrages .

      ** I therefore determined , after mature consideration , to march a force and attack their camp at the Congella ( a place about three miles from our position , where they haTe been for some time collecting ) , sad set apart the night * of the 23 rd instant lor that object . As the road leading to the Congella from the post the troops now occupy lies for the most part through thick bush , I thought it best to cross the sands at low water , as , by this means , I could avoid annoyance from the farmers until , within a short distance of their station . Fitting a howitzer , therefore , in a boat , under the superintendence of Xientenant Wyatt , of the Royal Artillery , and leaving it under the charge of a sergeant of the same

      corps , I gave him directions to drop down the channel to within 50 $ yaTds of Congella , and await the troops , in ordex that they-aught / form under the cover of its fire , aided by that of two six-pounders , * rhich accompanied the force I took with me . 'This consisted of one subaltern , and seventeen privates Artillery ; one subaltern , one sergeant , and . two privates , Royal Sappers ; two captains , two subalterns , five sergeants , and 100 rank and file , 27 th P" ? iment ; and two mounted orderlies of the Cape Bines . - " Having previously sent out a picket to feel the skirts of the wood in front of our position , in order to prevent onr movements being discovered , I put

      the whole party in motion at eleven r . M . ( it being bright moonlight ) and arrived without molestation till within nearly eight "hundred yards of the place I proposed to attack . To my great mortification 1 found the boa * had not dropped down the Channel according to my instructions , but as I considered it imprudent to wait the chance of hex arrival , I-was forced to make the attack without the valuable assistance a discharge of shells and shot from the howitzer would have afforded me . Giving the order to advance , therefore , the troops had just moved to where the termination of a range of mangrove bush opened to a level space in front of the . Congella , when a heavy and well-directed fire from the bush

      was poured on them ; upon which they immediately formed , and commenced a fire in return , while the HX-pounders were loading . 11 Unfortunately , one of the draught oxen being shot caused some interruption , but thiibeing soon got over , a destructive fire from our guns , silenced for a whjle onr opponents ; but several more of the oxen being wounded , on escaping out of . their traces , rushed among the troops , and caused much delay and confusion in the ranks . This circumstance again favoured the Boors , who , taking advantage of it , opened a renewed fire with their long pieces ( much more destructive than a musket ) , and a severe loss among the troops was the con-¦ ¦ ¦

      sequence . - " Finding , then , that I was not likely to ascomplish the purpose for which I had put the detachment in motion , and that the men were filling fast , I thought it expedient to retire ; effecting this object after some delay , the partial rising of the tide rendering the road difficult . The troops , however , reached the camp about two o ' clock in tolerable order , leaving behind them , I regret to say , the guns , which the death of the oxen rendered it impossible to remove .

      u Thinking it probable this partial success of the farmers might indnoe them to make an immediate attack on the camp , I made such preparations as I thought necessary , and found my suspicions " realised shortly after by a large body of them opening a teavy fixe on three side 3 of it . This was . met by a spirited resistance on our part , bus they did not finally retire until about an hour before daybreak . Sach , I regret to inform you , has been the result of this attack , and the consequent I 033 has been" severe , the total in both skirmishes being snch as detailed in the enclosed return . One . great cause of failure I attributed to the mismanagement -of the boat , in which I had placed the howitzerr by the shells of which I had hoped the farmers would have

      been thrown into confusion , but she dropped down too late to be of any use , and even then took up & position too distant for her to fire to produce much effect . . ** Among the many matters connected with the Subject of this report , and awakening the deepest regret , is the death of Lieutenant Wyatt , of the Royal Artillery , who for the two previous days had exerted himself much in making the necessary arrangements . He was killed early in the action . Of ihe zsalous exertions of Captain Lonsdale and Lieutenant Lunnaxd , of the 2 / th Regiment , I was also deprived , both these officers being severely wounded . In fact , under the trying circumstances in which the detatchment was placed , I have only to regret that , with such willingness to perform the d-ity asssigned to them , the result should have been bo unfortunate .

      " The loss on the part of the Boors it is difficult to estimate , bnt I am told it ha 3 been severe . The whole of Ms day they have made no movement , but 1 have to give tfeem the credis of treating such of the wounded as fell into their hands with great humanity . These , with the bodies of those whe fell , they sent to the ea apin the course of the afternoon , and to-morrow the Bad duty of interring our departed comrades will take place , " What steps the farmers may take I cannot at

      this moment surmise with any degree of certainty , though I think it probable they will again demand that 1 qniff the territory they call their own within a certain time . I shall , of course , do what I can to maintain " myself in my present position ; but considering the namber ef the disaffected / and the means they possess of molesting the troops , I beg to ¦ argd the necessity of a speedy reinforcement , as I scarcely consider the troops at present &ta ioned here sufficient for the performance of the dnty to which they have been assigned . ** I have the honour to be , Sir , your most obedient , humble servant , "J . C . Smith . " Captain , 27 ih Regiment , commanding . H Hi 3 Honour Colonel Hare , C . B . and K . H ., Lieutenant-Governor , & , c . "

      Another week has passed over , and the country is yet far from having resumed anything like its wonted appearance of regularity . The strike still continues ; and that same spirit which incites drowning men to catch at straws , working in the minds of the oppressed people throughout the whole country , induceSj very naturally , a disposition to extend it , in the desperate hope that something good may come out of it . As , however , the succession of events pass in review before us , we have yet seen no reason to

      recal the opinions which we first formed and expressed concerning it . It is the wasting overflow of a corrupt fountain ; for the purifying and guiding of which , to any good and sanatory purpose , the people did not possess sufficient means . There was no element of nationality , and , consequently , no element of success , in it . Regarded as a political movement , it has gone on from that time to tbi ? , slowly and gradually extending itself from one place to another ; beginning in one place just as it is subsiding in another , and so opposing

      merely Eectional , —and that , too , a greatly divided sectional , —moral power of resistance to all the means of attack combined in the monied , municipal , civil , and military resources of those againBt whose aggressions upon right its aim was pointed . We saw that this would be its character . We saw it from the very first j and hence our deep regret that the misguided zsal of the people should have been induced , by a few hot-headed and short-sighted men , to seize upon it as a lever wherewith to lift the incubus of faction from off their shoulders . We felt certain that

      the weapon would be wrested from their hands , and turned fearfully against them . The event has verified our fears . The prisons are crammed full with victims . Arrests are yet being continually made . Honest and good men , whose only fault is that they have more z ? al than prudence , are compelled , in many places , to leave their homes and families , and skulk about in holes and corners , fearing to be seen . Throughout Lancashire it will be seen , by reference to our reports jthat many of the workmen have already given in ; while of those who do remain out , the greater part do so on the terms only on which the

      strike began , —thewages question ; while of those who have gone in we believe that a considerable number b ^ ve had to Bubmit to lower wages than they had before . In all probability next week will bring a general resumption of labour in those districts where the Stbikb has raged most fiercely , by all parties who can get labour ; and the vauntings about never resuming labour until the Charter should become law will be matter of amusement for the enemy ; and thia , too , at the moment when the northern districts of England and the western districts of Scotland are about beginning to consider whether they

      shall join in the Strike or not ! The people will now see upon whom of their friends and counsellors They may best placee reliance . Upon those whose eagerness to advance blinds them to impossibilities ' and makes them reckless of consequences j or those who survey the whole battle-field , and reconnoitre carefully the outposts of the enemy before they make an onslaught . The Strike has failed ! So far as the efforts to give it a political character and to make it an engine for the carrying the Charter have been concerned , it has entirely and signally failed ! It

      was always sure to do so ; and none but fools could , from its first complexion and appearance , have anticipated any other result . Deeply as we regretted the first intimation we received that efforts wore making by a few influential Chartists to relieve the League of all the odium and responsibility of this bye-blow of corruption , by makiBg it the fosterchild of Chartism , our regret is not lessened by the knowledge-that its consequences have been mischievous to some of its most strenuous upholders . But let the people take heart of courage . A veteran army with good generals , will extract even from

      defeat the means of aiding and sustaining farther operations . Every misfortune is , by the wise man , turned to his advantage , and compelled to administer some comfort , even from the cup of sorrow . What , though the Strike has not procured the Charxkb ! Has it done nothing for us ! Has it furnished tzo means of advancement in our progress towards honest legislation \ 0 yes ! it has done much , and will yet do much more ! It will be the people ' s own fault , if out of this great evil they derive not much good . It

      has done much for the extension of our principles . It has brought the discussion of them home to the minds of thousands upon thousands who had never before thought seriously of them . Oar principles nfted only to be known ; can only be understood , to be received and cherished . It has shewn the Trades and Trades'Societies wherein rests their only Bale resort for theprcteetionof their labour . The discussion of Chartist principles by their delegates in Conference at Manchester , the noble reso-

      Untitled Article

      lutions come to by them , the previous discussions among the Trades separately , that their delegates might be instructed , and the after discussions by the several Trades , have made almost every Trades ' Society throughout that immense district a compact body of < well-reasoning intellectual politicians , satisfied that labour will be always at the beck and in the power of capita until able to proUet itself by legislative power . The helping forward of our Charter movement , then , in the mere impetus derived from the extension of our principles , is one advantage , and no mean one either , arising out of

      this movement . Bat the Strike has done more than this . It has done more towards effecting and cementing a union between the honest of- ( fee middling elapses and the people than any thing that has before occurred . The great bugbear of the middle classes has been" Chartist violence . " Their fear has been that under the domination of the working classes " property" would be unsafe . Not all the argument and reasoning in the world could have bo effectually convinced them of the converse as the proceedings of

      the last ten days m all thoBe districts where the Strike received a Chartist character . With all power in their hands to spread anarchy , and discord , aud confubion , and destroy property—in all those districts , with every temptation ^ ' and every provocation , to excess , no excesses were committed ; property was respected ; peace was preserved , in spite of continuous efforts for its violation by others ; order was kept , and the law was much more rigorously and carefully observed by the people than even by the authorities themselves .

      Such , therefore , of the middle classes as may honestly desire a union with the people how perceive that the barrier existed only in their own imaginations , and that property , peace , law , order , and the quiet of society are never so safe as when under Chartist guidance and protection . But the Strike has done another thing for us . It has shown the people the necessity of instantly repairing past

      oversight , by insisting on the full carrying out of our national organisation . It has shown them where their hands were weak . They now see that had the organisation been attended to as it ought to have been , they would have been ready to do that effectually which has been abortively attempted . As proof that the people do see this , we give the following from our Trowbridge friends , sent to us in the report of their proceedings : — , ::

      " The general complaint is , that there is no public body sitting , either ia London or Manchester , to direct the movement ; by gathering correct information as to the Strike , and communicating it to the various localities , so that the people may know how to act . The men of this place are ready to strike , but they are in want of information as to whether those on strike intend to hold out , and whether others intend to strike . "

      From various other parts we have Hko intimations . This , then , is a great good done . The people see where they have missed it ; and they will let the time past suffice to have been caught napping . They . will now perfeot their organization , and prepare themselves to be always hereafter on the watch-tower and prepared . Let the people , then , take courage . Our movement has suffered nothing . On ( he contrary ; it has gained much . And we shall abundantly make up in increased numbers , wisdom , energy , and watchfulness , for any deleterious effect of this untoward matter . ¦ ¦ ¦ " . ¦ ¦/ - ¦¦ ..

      To the Trades' delegates of Manchester , tod much honour can never be paid by the people . Their conduct in this business haB been , at once , that of patriots and of statesmen . They declared that the strike was worthless unless for the Charter , and when , after mature deliberation , they perceived its futility for the attainment of that object , they not less nobly than prudently resolved to give it up . There is a silly kind of people who , having once determined on a thing ,

      fear to find out that they are mistaken , lest the relinquishing of their position Bhould subject them to a charge of " cowardice . ' - This is most absurd . The greatest of all cowards is he who needlessly assumes or retains a false position for fear of being called a coward . The Manchester Delegates have exhibited none of this folly . Their last address does honour to them . We give it here as the best commentary on the whole matter of the Strike that can be given to our readers . Let it be readbyall : —

      "We have carefully collected and calmly deliberated upon the evidence adduced by the assembled Delegates , as to the state of public feeling evinced by their respective constituents ; and wo find that the labourer and the artizan haying , for a series of years , vainly struggled to maintain a standard of wages which would enable them to obtain even the commonest necessaries of life , am of opinion that the repeated frustrations of their tffarts are to be solely attri ^ buted to their political disfranohisement . .

      "Experience having proved the correctness of these opinions , we turned our attention to th ^ best means of remedying the evil ; and having maturely considered the subject in all its bearings , we come to the conclusion that the only means by which the labour of the producing classes of this country can be fairly remunerated and properly protected , and themselves eventually raised from tbe depths of degradation to which they are at present reduced , is by the legislative enactment of the document known as the People ' s Charter .

      "And we recommended national cessation from labour until the arrival of this period . Owing to the occurrence of the late civil commotions , of which we had not the slightest anticipation , and which we exceedingly regret , we found that the carrying out of - this resolution would for the present be impracticable . Bnt we dissolve with the firm determination that as soon as our organisation is sufficient for , and our resources adequato to , the commencement of a national cessation from labour until the Charter becomes the law of the land , we shall do so legally and constitutionally , and we fear not but the result will crown our cause with victory . "

      Thia is the right view of the subject . Let the organisation and the resources of the people be looked to : these minded , and their will is law .

      RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHARTIST BODY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL ACT OF ITS MEMBERS . ^ As might have been expected , the vile factious press , and especially that vilest portion of it , the Queen Groanefs oraole , has laboured hard to afilx on the Chartist body the whole blame and respon-1 sibility of all the " riots , " " risinge , " and excesses ! perpetrated by the getters-up and originators of j

      the League " Strike" plot . These efforts have been but too much aided by individuals among the Chartists , who , from whatever motive , hive certainly done what might be to damage the cause , by conduct which , to regard it in it 3 best light , is highly indiscreet . We are glad to see that in this we are by no means singular in our opinions . We have been requested to publish the following from the Huddersfield Councillors , in which the same view of the matter is taken : —

      " Thatwe . tho undersigned members of the General Counoil of the National Charter Association , resident in Huddersfield , feel imperatively called upon , in justice to ourselves and the body btv which we form a part , to repel with the utmost scorn and indi ^ - natioa the accusation emanating from some portion of the public press , that the recent riots and disturbances originated with the Chartists . We have every reason to bnlieve that the accusation proceeds from the very " originators" themselves , who impudently presume to speak of the said riots as a ' ¦ Chartist Insurrection / ' in the hope of diverting public attention from the real authors of them , and

      to inflame and direct public prejudice againBt the ChartUra , ; witb . a vi « w to secure "verdicts of Guilts / " against the numerous parties who have been apprehended , and committed to the several gaols , charged with heavy crimes on very slender evidence . The riots neither originated with , nor have they been participated in , by the associated body of Chartists , whatever may have been the conduct of a few individuals bearing the name ; and , while we deeply sympathise with those 1 of our brethren who have rendered themselves liable to , and who may bo visited with , the legal oonsequences of their own acts , we must strongly condemn all and every effort to connect us , or the Association of which we are officers , with either the acts them- ! selves or their consequences . " ; :

      We believe these to be the sentiments of all the reflecting of the whole Chartist body ; and we hope sincerely that they will be universally responded to . Members of our body—and especially influential

      Untitled Article

      members—should have prudence as well as zeal ; or their services , however well intended , can be but misq hieyonik Entertaining this feelih gv we direct attention to addresses elsewhere inserted from Mr ; Campbbm , and irom Dr .: M * PodaUj to which the people will do well to give no heed ; 80 te as they rebate to the " Strike ^'' at least , ; Mr . Campbeil is for still upholding and extending the Strike , ; though he must know , as well as the Manchester delegatesVtbat it is at present utterly powerless for good , as a political weapon ; and muBt ; also know ; that if powerless lor good , its effects for evil would be fearful . The Doctor's whole document breathes a wild strain

      of recklessness , ; most dangerous to the cause , if it should have any Tveight with the people . He , too , would have the Strike to go bnt ( but without any specific object ; in the mere hazard that " something i may come out of it . ^ ' Doubtless if upheld under present circumstances " something " would come out of it ; That something would be an increase of misery ^ destitut io n , and slavery ; impri ^ sonments , punishments , burnings of mills and factories joonflicts between the people and the military ,

      shootings , sabreings , and tramplings under foot ; transportings , hangings , beheadings , and quarterings ; an attempt at a bloody revolution ; the failure of the attempt to do anything but misohief , and the fastening round us of the bonds of slavery more firmly than we have even yet felt them ; This is the only tomething that could come out of it ; and we are very unwilling ta suppose that any Chartist leader could coolly contemplate tho arousing of a storm like this , to . reap only the remnant of the whirlwind as the reward of patriotism !

      Let the people take rather the wise advice , and follow the dignified and manly example , of the Trades' Delegates of Manchester ; Let them retire from a hopeless contest to recruit their strength . Let them perfect their organisation , replenish their resources impoyerieh the enemy by adopting the Doctor ' s advice in reference to ; the " gold" business and then , when they are prepared for the struggle ] see what will come out of it .

      THE COMPLETE SUFFRAGE UNION NATIONAL CON FERENCE . When the Birmingham Stvrqv Coniference was called , a few months a « o , we advised the people to have nothing to do with it . We did so because it was a mere sectional , sectarian , and party matter . It was to be composed only of men who had signed Mr . Sxurgk ' s declaration ; ihey were to be voted for only by persons , who had signed that declaration ; and we deemed that declaration a most vague , indefinite , and unsatisfactory affair . It is clear that a Conference so constituted could be no adequate

      representative of P ylio sentiment . We saw in it only a middle class movement from beginning to end ; we had no faith in the ' honesty of the middle classes ( nor have we yet ) , and therefore we advised the people to have nothing to do with the Birmingham Stuuge Conference . And when that Conference came to the resolution of adopting . our principles , and of yet refusing to co-operate with us , we advised the people to " leave them alone in their littleliesa" and to go on their own way without minding them . \ Ve have always deprecated the : offering of opposition to the Stuege men ; wet have always censured it as absurd and unfair to oppose them , so long as they uphold our principles ; but we have always cautioned the people to have nothing to do with

      them as a party . We have more than once given our reasons for this advice , and we have yet seen no reason to withdraw it . On the contrary , we repeat it now . With the Complete ^ Suffrage Union as a body , the Chartists cannot consistently . hold any other intercourse than that of sustaining them in all public struggles against the common enemy—the factions . This it is their duty to do on all occasions . To act otherwise would be to degrade ourselves to the rank of a mere faction , looking for the ascendancy , not of priaciple , but of party , The Complete Suffrage Union are now again upon the move . They ieem desirous , in the present troubled state of things , to cast oil uponthe waters of strife j and to make it serve also for the oiling of the

      whoelai of agitation . ; They have put forth an address of which the following are extracts ^ and to which we call earnestly the attention of our readers : —• ADDRESS OF THE CptrNCrC OF THE NiiTlONAt COMPLETB SUFFRAGE UNION TO THE WOBKING ANP UNENFRANCHISED ^ CLASSES OF TttEIB C 6 VSTR \ iIEN . M FEttow Countrymbn , —Your cirounistances demand our deepest sympathy . In the midst of the exciting events which surround us , we haveinetto consider what steps can be taken t © relieve your distress , and to promote your political freedom . We aro assured that nothing short of au effectual reform in Parliament will secure the happiness and prosperity of ihe people . ¦ '

      "Wehave resolved fco convene a Conference of Delegates , to be eleoted at public meetings in the various towns and districts of the kingdom , which Conference is to be helH at Birmingham , ou the 7 th of next month , for the purpose of devising a specific course of conduct to be pursued by the friends of the people ' s rights , under the peculiar crisis in which the country is now placed . " ¦( Now , we presume , from the terms of this notice th ' at it is intended to make this a fair , national , and open Cjnierence . That it is to be , in Mr * Sturge ' s favourite phrase , " a full , fair ^ and free representation '' of the opinions and sentiments of

      the working and unenfranchised classes : gen erally , expressed at public and opeji meetingg of the people . Here , then , at this Conference , the people have a fair opportunity of testing the leaders of the Complete Suffr ^ e Movement—they had no suoh opportunity before ; it will now , if the people do ^ their duty , be seeu whether they are disposed to co-operate "fully , fairly , and freely '' with the people to whom they have appealed for the carrying out of their own avowed purposes . We are glad therefore that tn ' iB .- Conference is to be held , we hail its being called b y the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union & $ a happy omen j we regard it as an indication that the Council of that Association

      are disposed to consult yie people as to the best means of carrying out their own principles and enhancing the umVersal weal . ^ We admire this disposition in ^ the Council of the Complete Suffrage ; Union ; their : readiness in times of peril and anxiety like this to lay down their own — -perhaps too hastily assumed—party distinction , and - consult aud < 5 o-6 perate with their brethren , of like priuoiplesi-- * the friends of the people's rigbW * T-asl ^ to What can be ' done

      for the securing of ^ those lights ^ We trust that this gooil feeling wilt be reciprocated by the Chartists ; and that this Conference may afford an opportunity of amalgamating in one solid and compact body , all the true "friends of the People ' s Rightsj" ^ whether of the 1 middle or the working classes . This may be done if the people do their duty ; and take care that the Conference is constituted in accordance with the convening notice . Thisjletitbe bornei in ^ mind , is not a Stcbge Conference ; not a Complete Suffrage Conference ; it is

      a " National" Conference ; a Conference of ¦' " ¦ th ^ friends of the People ' s rights" of all ranks , classes , and opinions . Such are the terms of the notice before us ; and ii will be the people ' s own fault if Buch be not the character of the Conference . We are perfectly aware that this Conference might be a twin brother of ; the ^ Slarike ? j it might be a part of the free trading League Plot ; itsobjeotmi ^ A / 5 c to take ^ ^ advantagei of the disturbed and unsettled state of thingi created by the >* Strike" Movement ^ for the purpose of establishing the Complete Suffrage Union upon the ruins of the Charter organisation , and so of ultimately bringing round the people to a point at which they could be Bold neck and crop to the "Free Trade"

      gentry . We can see very clearly how all this might be ; but we have no disposition to believe that it is so meant . Had the Conference been confined to members of the Complete Suffrage Union ^ we should have no hesitation in believing that such was its purpose , and such the intention of its- conveners ; but we receive the fact of its being constituted , not of * Complete Suffragists '' only , but of " the friends of the people ' s rights ' generally , as sufiicient indication that its ostensible , is its real purpose , and that ' its conveners mean to gather ' fairly into one focus the intelligence and wisdom of the "friends of the ^ ^ people ' s rights '' with a view to the devising of the best " specific course of ( Sonduct to bei pursued under the peculiar crisis in which the couatry is now placed ; ¦ >

      . At an eveDtB , wbateyer the intention may be , we repeat that it must be the people ' s own fault if this be not the character of the Conference . Let the Chartists , then , be up and at their duty ! Lei them meet the Complete Suffrage men in kindly and brotherly consultation . Let them show them that these are not times for the indulgence of party differences or seotional disputes , or nonsensical fastidiousness about names , and leadership , and shadows ,

      while the substance of our few remaining liberties is melting away , under the hot sun of despotism , before our eyes . Let the effort be fairly made to induce the Complete Suffragists to form with us one patriotic phalanx * which shall by its firmness , its peacefulnessj its ^ ^ intelligence , ^ and 1 its ^ ^ determination , offer an impenetrable front to the rude hordes of faction , while it marches steadily and successfully onward to the attainment of our Charter . :

      To this end let the Conference , whether so- intended or not , be made what it purports to be , a Conference of the Friends of the Peopxe ' s Rights , from the various towns and districts of the kingdom ; for the purpose of devising a specific course of conduct to be pursued under the peculiar crisis in which the country is now placed . The Conference meet oii Wednesday , Sept . 7 th ; this very near ; there is , therefore , no time to lose . About the work at once . ! We wish that another week had been allowed the people to deliberate upon the . ; merits and qualifications of the : parties to be sent ; but , inasmuch as the time is fixed , we say " about it at once" ! Let public meetiags be

      caued in every town , and every district where the" reign of terror " andthe despotism of military law has not gagged the public voice . Let all these meetings be called legally ; respeot the laws . Let no commotion or disturbance exist in any place , on account of them ; remember the business , is One of graye importance ; national interests— -your own interestB sre deeply , involved in it ; leave squabbling and fracas to the robber classes , while you preserve , and , as far as possible , enforce , order and decorum . That order , in all its forms , may be observed , let every meeting for the election of a delegate , be called by requisition ; of which the following may be the Form : — « ' £ 6 ¦ : '"• ¦¦' . • - ' ¦ : " - - ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ - ¦ i :.: :: ' '' :. v : ' - ^ -

      Let this requisition be signed by seven or -more inhabitant householders , each giving thereon his name , trade , and residence , * let it ba presented to the Mayor , Chief Cons tables or other principal authority of the place ; and if / he refuse to call the meeting , let the requisitors then call it on their own responsibility ; and , above allthings , let ereryfiuch meeting be conducted with as much order and decorum as the service of a parish church .

      The next matter for consideration will be the character of the delegates to be sent to this Conference The people should consider deeply the importance of the deliberations to come before that assembly . Do not let it be deluged with ginger beer bottles ; with mere spouting , frothy , speech makers , —declaimers upon general principle ? , who can bring do . wn the cheers of an audience , but who look no further ; let them recollect that this Conference is for the purposd of devising a specific course of conduct to be pursued ; and , that thereforej shewed , cool-headed , men—men of stern sense and solid

      judgmentmen not easily gulled or blinded , and yet open to conviction from fair argument , aud not bull-headed and bull-necked , are the men they want-r-meh who understand the Charter , not only as to its principles , but as to its details— -Who are thoroughly acquainted with the organisation of the National Charter Association , and of the Complete Suffrage union- —who understand the whole merits of the question of an union with the middle classes , —who are proof against all the sophistry of the Free-traders and Extension men , and ready with

      plain common sense answers to all their fallacious statements , and yet men void of factious dispositions -T-ready to hear reason and to give reason its due weight by whomsoever urged ; Let them in every place look out for such a man—no matter whether he be a - * f leading" man or not ; no matter whether he be a speaker or not , if sueti a man can be found send him to this Conference , and we have great hope that if England now do its duty , a firm and indissoluble / Union may be effeoted between the honest and good of all parties , for the prosecution , by the best means , of our righteous ciuse .

      My dkab , Friends , —The circumstaricesV' ^ hich are now passing will teach the people of these countries a very important lesson . It will teach them this fact : tjbat if the people , are / readyV / to' lend themselves as tools to aid faction , that / faction in whose service they enlist , will goad them on into furious and headlong agitation , only stoppiqg short at that point which threatens danger to themselves ; but the moment the people arouse themselves for the assertion of their own rights ; that moment will all grades of faction unite for the purpose of putting them down ! ;; 'V : ^ ¦ - ¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦ '' . - ' . , ¦¦'' ¦ ' '" - ; ' ¦¦ .

      Suppose , for instance , that the recent Strike occasioned by the diabolical' attempt to reduce wages , had been turned into a successful move for a Repeal of the Corn Laws , and the restoration of the' " practical" Whig Ministry into office . In suoh case , funds , ample funds , would have been at your disposal ; and urged on by the inflamatory harangues of your masters , —doubly secure ^ m thei ^ OTm perspns , ~ blo 6 d would have been shed as in in 1832 , and property would have beep extensively destroyed ; but as you disdained their invitation to Revolution , your movement has been comparatively peaceful . 1 say the masters have a double security . Firstly , they can keep out of sight , merely pulling the wires ihiifc niaye the puppets : and , secondly , they are secure from

      the circumstance of one or more of their order , and co-oonfiscators , being empannelled upon their jury . Odium , of coarse , will be thrown upon you , and upon your friends .

However , it so happens that certain politicians will go Vigorously with their party , so long ' -sis the waters are smooth , the cause respectable , and the undertaking not dangerous ; but spon the other hand , when alarm spreads , and danker presents itself , the

      rashness of their followers furnishes ample pretext for desertion and betrayal .

Let the reviling philosophers look for one moment upou this side of

      the picture . The labourer while at work gees nothing save indications of wealth and comfort . He beholds the well-furnished mill , the wealthy owner , and the well-paid subordinates ,: all , one and all , liviDg upon thei fruit of his Jabour . He feels hunger and distress : his beloved wife and little ones cry to him for food * and their calls must be unheeded ; and the law expects him , as a good and loyal subject , to submit to perish . The law taxes him , and compels him / to pay the tax ) buj ; when he > and his fellows ask for a million of money , to enable them to weather the storm , then want of precedent stands in the way ! He sees warehouses groaning under his handy-works , while his back is cold for tne want of them ! He sees the cook-shoD here , the land covered

      with a golden harvest , all bearing ample testimony of his Creator ' s beneficence ; he hews the parson praying that their ^ fruits may be preserved to our kindly use , so as in due timeupe may enjoy : them- * he hears and sees all , but hearing and seeing is his lot . The kindly fruits are not presorred for his ass , though the toil to bring them to maturity for other ' s use doos . fallvto / . his ^ lofc- " -.

He isforbiddenlo murmur on his own behalf , while he is asked to join in aympatby for those who but experience the comparative annoyance arising from a Blight stagnation in the market . O ! who cau walk , ; as I have done , through England ' s valleys of smokeiand long
