artificial market . The buzz must not frighten " us from the consideration of who and whit are the enemies of labour . Upon the one hand , then , I tell joa Oat , ere long , machinery will make 3 , 000 , 000 an over-population in this country , nnless the great aijrjenitoal labour mart be opened as a retail market for the expenditure of labour , and creation and extension of a home market for manufactured produce , And now , my fr iends , as to cheap corn insuring eheapbread , allow me at once to explode that fallacy . J have told yon one thousand times over , that no act of » government to regulate tb . B price of raw material
etralu by possibility insure any retail advantage to ihs small consumer . Now just observe how I gnpport my assertion . From the 1 lth of Joly 4 o the 15 th of August , there ha 3 been a redaction of fifteen shillings in the price of the quarter of wheat , whereas npon the 11 ik of July the price of four pounds of bread wasninepence halfpenny , and on the 16 th of August the price was ninepence halfpenny : noi one fraclioa of a change 3 Here then i 3 fifteen shillings profit upon 208 stone of floor between the miller , flour factor and baker : but not a single advantage derived by the small consumer 1
Now will , any Corn Law Repealer acconnt , or attempt to account , for that anomaly ! Let me now direct yoor attention to the course pursued by the -whole of the London press . In the first instance , all importance was attached to the strike by the press of the League ; but the moment that body was frustrated , then , as if by magic , did both parties ^ keban ds , when thebargainwas Struck that Government should receive the joint assistance of Whig and Toryto destroy us . Theljingreportsof all matters calculated to damn us were precisely the same—written fey the same hand—in the same language and spirit fer every rough daily journal , while the Times has extracted copiously from the Star of last week , for the purpose of saddling all the odium npon my back . The Times quarrels with the publication of the names of the heroe 3 of Peterloo , on the 16 ih of
August , 1819 ; and asserts that in the list is to be found many names of ' our most respectable millowners . Respectable indeed I What i do these who received their Regent ' s and his Minister ' s thanks' for their valour in 1 S 19 , bluau at the mention of their -deeds in 1842 Hi But the Times omitted to state that ibe report in the Slar was taken from the Leeds _ Marmrjf . However , I may venture to expect that the vigilant gentlemen connected with my office , will jirocnre a file of iae limes of thai date , and by placing the . then comments of that virtuous . journal in . juxta-position with its present notions ihe world will be enabled to form a just estimate of the consistency of the leading journal of ins Tory party . My friends , I at first laughed at the postcript appended to O'Brien ' s letter of last week , wherein lie asserts that all the Chartist leaders are to be
-assassinated ; but really , when I came to read the Jbloody attacks of the Chronicle upon Cooper , and those of the Times upon M * Dona 31 , Clarke , Cooper , and myself , those attacks present strong presumptive evidence in support of O'Brien ' s assertion . But now , for one moment , let us consider the ut&ganimity of these two leading journals . Sir John Easvbope is M . P . for Leicester , and it is known that tie valiant Cooper , npon the first occasion threatens Mm with opposition for the" representation of that borough ; and bo , like poor Frost , Cooper is to be sacrificed to get rid of his opposition . And then as for the Times , every article upon the general state of the country is sure to dose with aphillipicagainst those who opposed Walter , the proprietor , at Nottingham , and the wretched scribbler in last Monday ' s paper , ask 3 about , or rather hints at , the expenditure of the pay which I had received from Mr . Sturge for my services .
How my friends , I have no secrets "with you - ; neither have I with Mr . Sturge ; and therefore I may tell you exactly what I did receive from Mr . Sturge , and when yon bear in mind that I spent nearly three v ? eeks , at three different times , in Ifottingham and district , for the purpose of aiding in Mr . Sturge's return , yon vnH say whether or not I have been even paid for my services . What I did receive there was just this : " Take nothing from nothing , and receive just the difference . ' Now that election cost me between thirty and forty pouud 3 ; and if Mr . Stnrge or any other man presumed to ofierlo remunerate me for any attempt to serve your cause , I would take it as an insult . So to put a stopper in the gaping mouth of the gaby of the Times , I will give any man one thousand pounds who
will produce the lamest , or most indifferent proof that 1 received a fraction from Mr . Sturge or from any person on his behalf ; and I further extend the reward to aoy perfon who will in the lamest way support the assertion . I never in all my life received a fraction of a farthing from either faction , or any agent of theirs . No , no , my loved friends . Thank God , my hands are pure from Whig gold , as the Whigs well know ; and , thank God , they are pure from Tory gold , or the Nottingham election Tronld Tery speedily have let the cat out of the bag , Bad they been polluted . And I go further , and assure you , that if any mortal had the insoleneeto offer me a bribe for an injury to be done to my party , 2 would kiek Mm down stairs , and expose him to the world . ¦
Let me now lay before you a most important fact . An address , purporting to emanate from the Executire , has appeared in every London paper , I believe ¦ witnoni exception ; and comments have been made by many upon the document . Yet has not one single paper published the address unanimously adopted by the Conference ! Is not this an attempt to destroy us by suppression of facts I However , my friends , as I wish the Slar to be a book of reference for my conduct and your actions , I now come to lay a few plain facts before yon . In the first place , then , on my oath , —and you will believe even my word , —there never has been any , the slightest , consultation , of my knowledge , or , I believe , with the knowledge of a single leading
Chartist , about the recent Strike ; on the contrary , it came upon as like a shock , and an unwelcome one . But now both parties would gladly saddle upon us all the consequence ! Well , we must bear them like men , whatever be the result . But mark the tyranny of suppressing all pnblic meetings , ^ nd handing U 3 , to whom they were a protection , bound neck and heels , over to the press for destruction . Does not the increased hostility of the Whig press , which is the Anti-Corn Law press , prove that we , the Chartists , have frustrated the Repealed in theirjendeavoni to make tools of tts ? Suppress the expression of public opinion , and of course the popular cause must die ; but , in order to keep it alive , I have succeeded in the fair performance of one man ' s duty . I promised you a daily paper to meet the last " session of Parliament . I was disappointed
however , in my endeavours to establish . one ; but now behold , my friends , I have accomplished my object . The Evening Star is now shooting above the horizon ;[ to it you must look as a substitute for suppressed opinion . You will , no doubt , read the address of the proprietors with delight , in which you are informed "that the paper is to snpport the six points of the Charter , name and all , and has taken " No surrender" for its motto , and that its management and entire control is placed in my hands . It is a 3 large as the Globe or the Standard ; it is a stamped paper , published daily , and sold for threepence . Make it then , my friends , the organ of our party . Take it at your clubs—your news-rooms , and your reading rooms ; and , a 3 * the keepers of aristocratic houses are compelled to suit the taste of their readers , do yen also make ° mine host ? ' provide your favourite dieh for ¦
you . I have another word to say about the Strike . Bear in mind that one of the Corn Law Conference relied upon a strike of the colliers as a means of ensuring a repeal of the Corn Laws . Bear in mind , that of all classes the colliers were not Chartists ; and bear in mind , that the colliers were the first to strike ; and that the mining districts have been the iead quarters of the League ' s etnissiaries . Now , never lose sight of these facts ; for assuredly we must and will have satisfaction for tha blood that has been shed : and if no other man does , I will
¦ endeavour to have a full , fair , and impartial Parlia-r mentary inquiry into \ h& cause of the recent Sirike , and who the originators were . I can give much evidence myself , and especially as regards Preston , where blood has been ehed . Beesley , M'Douall , and Leach will corroborate the fact , that , after my tour in North Lancashire , I apprised them of the machinations of the League , especially at Preston In strong confirmation of all , on Tnursday last , as I was returning from Manchester , a gentleman accosted me , on the platform of the Birmingham Station , and
saidtt Well , Mr . OCoxxoRt do top tsise . that this move "will fbightkn slr robeet , and get ihe Whigs back again ! I replied" No , the masters have caused thi 3 Revolution for our destruction . " "Nat , " said he , " sot so , but tvk itcsh't abide TBS TOBT SWAT FOB . ANOTHEB SEASON . " . Thus , then , my friends , is Chartism placed between the two fires ; disappointed Whiggery looking for -offiee , and Toryism in the plenitude of its power ; but stall by our prudence we will stand the double fire and remain nnscorched . In order , however , to insure the safety of our party , and to mar the machinations of onr enemies , we must not be foolhardy . The leaders must not allow the taunts and ¦ 3 ee » of their open foes and insincere friends to
en-: wjP them into any acts of violence . That is just - Whatthe WbigBwish . Their game is , let but the Tories go on exasperating ihe people , and then , on * eboiee of evils , they will throw themselves npon r »» fi > rsneeonx . They knowonr terms . I propounded Mem whilst in York Castle : —thirty out-and-out = vhar&ts ia the House , to give expression to the popular Toioe : and away go the Tories , and for fver ! but npon no other terms will I , for one , join in displacing one party to make room for as bad one . ; My friends , although I would not care one farthing if every letter that I ever received npon public business was placed upon the market-cross , yet I must ^ complain that all my letters , and they are very few : now , are opened at some post-ofiiee . This was done by the Whigs in 1839 , during the sirting-of the first Conventum , when I received some most seditious epistles , many of them purporting to come from

officers , stating tb ** , if once out . the soldiers would fight for the people . I invariably sent those letters with my compliments to ihe Home-Office for a second perusal . This was my protection ; and now i would advise every man , who may receive suspicions letters of tne nature to which I refer , to transmit them at onee open through the post to the place from whence they came , and at every meeting that yon can attend pass resolutions , that yon will not join in any secret association , or allow strangers to mix among you , or address you , for believe me treachery
wiu De aoroaa . l rejoice , most heartily do I rejoToe , at the statesman-like address with which the Trades delegates of Manchester closed their sittings . That was the way to insure respectand confidence . Would you battle oppression at fearful odds ? Then why refuse to bring judgment to the aid of your cause I inese men have really proved themselves worthy the character of statesmen , patriots , and legislators ; and e er long their prudent and magnanimous conduct will cause all the Trades of the empire to rally round their standard .
My friends , when the work of desolation ends then do my troubles begin : and as aforetime , bo now . Bear m mind , then , that many , very many , of our poor friends have fallen into the pit of the enemy ; We must endeavour to rescue them ! the best counsel must be had for their defence , and for those money is necesssary . Once more , then , I offer myself as Treasnrer to a Defence Fund—no profitable office to me—and I invite every man , loving justice and a fair trial , to remit his mite without
delay , by post office order , addressed for me at Mr . John Cleave ' s , 1 , Shoe Lane , "F leet street , London . Mind , as in the case of Frost , this cannot be delayed to the last moment . Let it , therefore , be set about at once , for assuredly the victims shall not perish without a defence ; and as meetings are prohibited for a season , each court of justice , as in 1839-40 , will be a Chartist meetinghouse . I request all good Chartists to communicate anything worthy of publication to the office of the Evening Star , 252 , Stand , London .
. In conclusion , my beloved friends , be united , be sober ,-be wise , be peacefnJ , and no power on earth can hold you in bondage . Our disunion , and not their strength , give your enemies the advantage over you . From henceforth then , and for ever , let every man who would perpetuate disunion in our ranks be scouted from them as traitors . For my part , I shall not even condescend to answer any , the most vituperative attack upon me . I tell you , asain and again , that you have Tory spies and Whig mischief-makers among you . Disappoint them , I pray you . I trust that my appeal for a Defence Fund will be responded to by all . In London all meetings are put down for the present , but public opinion will not long remain under a bushel . By all means teach the shopkeepers that they have a direct interest in the well-being and wellpaying of the labourer . I am , Your faithful Friend , Feahgus O'Connob . Hammersmith , Aug . 23 , 1 S 42 .

W . H . Dtott has to acknowledge , with thanks , the receipt of a large parcel of Stars , through the post-office , from Josiah Ernes , of Birmingham . He has similar acknowledgements to make other kind friends ; and to assure all that none of their favours shall be misapplied . W . - H . —No room . Wm . Bullock , Biggah . —Yes . Mb . J . B . Smith . —None can receive with more respectfulness than ire are disposed to do the kindly intended reproof of our very excellent friend . We cannot , however , with all due submission , admit that in this instance it is rightly applied . The " hebdominal warfare ' has been ail on one side . It was commenced , il has been
carried on , and it is continued , in the teeth of all our best efforts to serve , hy every means in our power , the viper ) who , knowing that he owes to * zts the very means by which to exercise his malignity , turns thus upon his benefactor . We have taken no part in the " warfare" save the occasional statement of facts , and have made no " attack "; we have never condescended to "rccrimation" nor shall we ever do so . We refer our friend to every number of ihe Star published since the commencement ef the " warfare" for - confirmation of this statement . Until the commencement of his unprincipled " attack " : and viperous ungrateful " warfare" -upon us , our only feeling towards the person to whom his note refers was that of admiration , and anxiety to . seise every possible opportunity of enhancing his
interest , because ice thought him an ill-used useful man ; our only present feeling towards him is that of unmitigated pity : neither of these feel ' ings is capable of ' supplying us with the disposition for continuous " warfare" with him . If he .- is determined still to bark at tts , tee can only hope that our friend will permit him to indulge his very harmless propensity , without being angry tciik us for being barked at . In reference to the other gentleman alluded to , we can only say , that we have ahcoys published whatever notices of tlieie proceedings have been sent to us . Misncus Secsetts , Tabal , Alex .

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . Brotheb Chabtjsts , —the events of the last tea days are tuown to you . The Conference dissolved , the address of the Executive appeared , and the President of the Association was arrested ; not bscan 38 any law had been violated , but simply becauee the truth bad been told in undisguised language to an exasperated people . It appear * that a if arrant was issued against me , and no doubt all the members of the Executive . I did sot see much propriety in quietly submitting to imprisonment , when my services might be required ; and my friends would not allow me to run the chance ; therefore I walked round the gaping jacks in office ,
and escaped with the utmost ease . I have not been idle . We have had our encampments ia the fastnesses of the mountains , -where our enemies could not listen , and dare not come ; where tho wild beautieB of nature conveyed freshness and vigour to the understanding ; where we could both in sorrow and . safety brood over the affliction of . our country , and anxiously study , the best means of destroying the tyranny of ages ; and where we were brought nearer to the great spirits of our forefathers who lodged with the moorcock and housed themselves in caves , whilst bravely contending fot civil and religious liberty in days of blood , and strife , and battle . Oh ! for the glorious doings of our fathers , for the unconquered spirits of the dead .
Is this glorious land to be for ever enslaved , and its everlasting doom to be written on the bloody pavement Of its cities ? Arouse ye Englishmen , and hand in hand assist your brethren ef Wales and Scotland , resolve to be ^ free . You need only resolve . What care -we about landlord or league now . The Charter is of higher import than the contentions of ancient and modern pluderera . We stand thus—The strike was one for wages—for the repeal of the corn laws . Had we stood idly by we would have served the League . Had we opposed the . Strike altogether , we would haved served the landlords . We did neither , we were consistent to our cause , just to ourselves , and faithful to our country . We neither hung fire , cor damned with faint praise , but boldly , wisely , and timely determined the strike should yield , what fruits were in the womb of futurity for Chartism . That is the sole reason of the course I have followed , with my colleagues .
Who can accuse us ? Who would- have accused us had the movement driven the Government to repeal the com laws ? All—because then it would have been said " why not have had the Charter as well V It is true we have had arrests . What of that ? A step further and the only arrest would have been by the bullet or the Bword , ¦ But revolution was not ripe as it was in France The middle class oppose us still , and the trades are not wholly with ns . Either or both are necessary to the succcess of a revolution , therefore I approved of , and supported the recommendation of the Conference and Trades for peace , law , and ordtr , not from conviction that injustice demanded peace , robbery , obedience to the Government , or starvation order amongst the pesple ; not for fear of of the army , of marauders , but
simply because I trembled for a defenceless undisciplined and unarmed people who are Wo poor to purchase justice , too weak to demand it , and too submissive even to avail themselves of the means of protection legally afforded te every man for the defence of his he me an < d his liberty . None complain of a cessation of labour until the Charter shall become the law . They know that such a resolution is merely figurative or else a declaration of war . If the latter , it is the announcement of battle , and that would be stone versus bullet , bludgeon versus bayonet . According to the observation I have made throtsghcrat the country , I cannot recommend that course , or indeed any one which is certain to fail ; nor would I advise masses of unarmed men again to parade in face of the military .
I have sure information ,- even on the top of the mountain where I write . Uiat the authorities intend commencing ihe mills in the south of Lancashire first , and when they have started them , the trustworthy operatives in them art to be armed ; then the soldiers are to be withdrawn to the north and elsewhere , to force ( he people to work at the point . of the bayonet , and to shew , no mercy fsucA is the ruthless order of the Zord Lieutenant J to man , woman , or child . There now , ye stone-and-bludgeon feearers , what think you of that ? What iB England come to ? What have you been about ? aud what do you intend to do ? My opinion is unshaken as before . It is as follows : — First , the people cannot contend against tbe Bol&ieTS , and therefore peace , law , and order are wise , although degrading .
( Secondly , every engine should be at work to exhaust the supplies of the Government , by running for gold , and issuing of paper promises to pay by the Trades , or are societies who withdraw their money from circulation . It must be plain that if it is spent when drawn , ' it goes back to the old shop again . Take all the gold , and give nothing but promissory notes or old rags to the shopkeeper . Thirdly , instead of begging , the-shopkeepers onfl others should be re quested to send provisions to a common store tew will refuse , as on resuming work exclusive dealing is sure to be turned against them , if nothing worse befals them . Trust to their fears and evade the Vagrancy Act . : ; Fourthly , the people should , when deterred from meeting , publicly meet in streets and wards , iu the most commodious houses , and discuss the news as well as devise fresh meanB of passive resistance .
Fifthly , they should have messages exchanged between town and town and believe no rumour . Sixthly , one resolute motion should be put to all meetings , pledging them to the Charter , arid when so many ears are opeu , the great truths of Chartism should be unsparingly poured in to them . In conclusion , I may remark that I support a continuance of the Strike , chiefly because of my belief that some event may yet arise which we little dream of , which may run like wildfire through tbe nation and leave us victorious . The longer the people of the north are out , the chances multiply of London and Birmingham striking , and the whole of the south baing made duly acquainted with our movement . Scotland is shaking herself for the struggle , and the strike there is the most extensive that has yet occurred . Ireland takes no part yet Wales in half asleep .
The continuance of the Strike affords time for fate to work her alow , but certain , web around the tyrant ' s den . The cessation of the Strike will not last , because wages will be more and more reduced ;• therefore , we will lose nothing let the result be either way : but which ever way it tends , prepare , prepare , prepare . - The Strike ia one event which With a flash , bsgins , and ends in smoke . Another out of smoke brings glorious Light , An < l fast raising : expectation higfc . Surprises us with dazzing miracles . P . M . M'DOITALL .
MR . CAMPBELL TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . We have received tho following from Mr . Campbell : — Bbotheb Democrats , —You will pardon me for addressing you at thia important crisis . My reason for so doing is , if possible , to amalgamate all classes of Reformers to obtain the one grand object , viz ., the Charter ; and L now crave your most serious consideration to the intents of this letter . The country is in % most awful condition , brought about solely by class legislation ; brought on , notby Whigs , not by Tories , not by millpwners , not by parsons , not by landlords , or bankers , or government
separately ; but by the united influence of all those classes , whose sole aim and end is to rob the masses . Now , mind , I wish to be most distinctly understood , that at a crisis like the present , I will not attach all the blame of this extensive strike to the Anti-Corn Law League , any more than I would toihejandlords . No , no , my friends ; both are alike guilty ; the landlords wish to keep , up high prices in corn , to enable them to get higb rents , and thus rob the people . The Com Law Repealers wish to have free trade in corn to enable them to tpl > the ; people . —Arcades ambo , —and it matters not to me a single pinj whether the Corn Law Repealers originated the strike or not , it ia our duty a& Britons , as freeown , as Char-

Shortly before seven o ' clock , the Comaittee , accompanied by Thomas Duncombe , Esiq ., M . P : and Feargus O'Connor * Esq . made their appearance upon the platform and were greeted with loud aad long c » ntinued cheers .
Mr . Rogers , having been elected to the chair , commenced by statins that the present were twklish times , but that under their banner of " peacev-law , and of der , " they would be certain to conquer . The present meeting had been legally convened according to Act of Parliament ; and that no pretence m-iifht be left to the aufhoritieS to commit the follies , net to Bay the outrages , which had been transacted within the last few daysj he had transmitted S , copy of ihe bill , calling the meeting s with the following note to Sir James Graham :-- -, i : : "thereby transmit you a list of the conveners of the FinBbiiry meeting . ¦ / V " Your obedient seryariij ¦ : .

. To that note he had received no answer , and he therefore presumed that the meeting was legalj even in the eatimation of tho fastidious . Baronet . Mr . Rogers then went on to show that the electors should use the power which the law bonferred upon them for the benefit of the whole community . They could gain no true information of the origin or ^^ progressof the present unhappy Btate ofaffairs in ; the North , from tho' raspally newspapers of the day 5 but they woll knew that the cause of theni : wVs classlegislation , The , g / ople . would never be in ai statovof coutentment or pit osperity uatil . iheir : grievancea were removed , and the electors an 4 persons of property ouuht to be the first and not the last to assist them . Tiio mass of the people had nothing to lose , and if those who had property did hot look to the interest of the workihg men , they might , in the confusion which would inevitable , ensue , lose that whioh thoy now possessed— ( cheers . ) :
Mr . Moore read a note from Mr . Wakleyi stating that severe ) indisposition kept him from attending the meeting , but his best wishes were ; with them , and he was convinced that if there was not shortly a Radical Reform of the representative system ' of tho House of Commons , it would be impossible to retain peace and order , but that the best interests of the nation would be involved in one common confusion and ruin . Class legislation had been the curse of the millions . v : Mr . ' Savage rose to move the first resolution , but was interrupted with cries of " Adjourn ; " but the Chairman having appealed to them upon the inconyenienco it would create , Mr . Sivage
proceeded by asserting that the present were critical times / and that they needed the assistance of all good and patriotic men . It was almost impossible to deliberate calmly upon the scenes occurring in the North , unless they were at a di 9 tarico from the scene of action . They had not in the North the liberty of meeting » 3 they were then meeting ; It almost made the mind shudder to reflect ou tho scenes which had occurred , but he urged them to persevere in their peaceful agitation until they had achieved a certain remedy . Mr . S . concluded a speech which was but veryy imperfectly heardj owing to the repe&ted calls for adjourataenp , bjr , nadviiig the foliow 1 - ing resolution i— > ; : :
"That this meeting learns with sorrow and dismay , that nearly the whole of the manufacturing population have foregone their usual industrial occupations ; that the discontent of the people haa in some places brokon out into open violence ; that encounters have taken place , accompanied with loss of life ; that , in fact , civil war is raging throughout a large portion of Great Britain , so as to threaten an effectual destructipu of security of propsrty in all parts of the kingdom . " Tho cries for an ¦ . ' . adjournment ; now became s 6 general , that the immenso body took possession of the gardens attached to the house , and ihe Committee and speakers addressed them from the balcony . At this period not Ies 3 than from ten to fifteen thousand perabns were in the ground , andI many thousands outside unable to procure admission .
prdei * having been restored , the resolution was put , seconded in an excellent speech by Mr . Walker , and carried unanimously amid loud cheering . Mr . Watsoii in an address of considerable ability moved tho foliowiug resolution :-r- : ¦ ' ; "That this meeting Without pretending to judge accurately of the immediate causo of this sudden out-break , finds no difficulty in deciding that the remote , all-powerful , arid' all-producing cause has been class legislation , which by promoting class interacts at the expense of genera ) interests has at length produced 6 uch an extreme exhaustion of the resources of the whole I body , that genera I pressure has produced general distress ; class has -been set against class , man against man , by sectional and individual endeavours to escape the general distress . "
lie trusted that tho example set by tho electors of Finsbury would be followed throughout the empire , and the working men would then be enabled to hold their meetings and express their grievances without coming into collision with the authorities . : Mr .

These are tho means of aggravating the evils , which in the opinion of the meeting , can only be remedied by removing class legislation ; arid they ; are of an opinion that a petition founded on the above resolutions be presented to the Queen , praying Her Majesty to be gra ^ ciously pleased immedjate ] y to CQareii& Parliament , and take means for securing to tho people suoh a representation as will bo in conformity with ; the prayer of [ the petition presented to the House of Commons last session , and which potition . was eigned by four millions of her Majesty's loyal subjects .
