      My deab . Fbie-nds , —In 1838 I asked yon for a defence fnnd to enable me to meet , those attacks which I well knew auihority would make opon my party . I explained to yon the mode of collection , the purposes to which it should be applied , and the benefits which would accrue from it ; bat as the wolf was not then at hand yon never dreaded his approach . Many is the time that I hare since regretted your apathy . Your compliance at that time ; would have saved as thousands sinoe , as I should have been enabled to give faction a surfeit by exposing acts of oppression to which individuals have been subjected as an experiment te try the national temper . Yon cannot justify your

      noncompliance by pleading poverty , as in the following year you gave to t-ne man a larger sum for his defence than has been expended upon law by oar party since ihe commencement of legal persecutions . However , I am not going to dwell long upon the subject , nor yet to say more by way of censure , but merely to point out your foily and your consequent Buffering for not having taken my advice . In Jane , July , and August , of the present year , I foretold the coming storm , and I implored you in North and South Lancashire , in Yorkshire , and throughout the Midland Counties , to fold your arms when the tariff revolution should commence . I prophesied everything that has since occurred . 2 s or do I blame

      you for being caught in this mare of the tempter ; I merely remind you of those thing 3 to strengthen my nama as a prophet , in order to give additional weight to my fnture predictions . I have means » f information , whica you have not ; I have leirure to slndy political movements , wfeich yon have not ; I have an individual interest in the sncces 3 of our cause which no other living man ha 3 , to the same extent . All circumstances combine to make me an honest man , if I am not so naturally . In Bhort , with me , and for me , honesty is not only the best , bat the only policy . I have an interest besides a pleasure in being honest . Well , now hear my next prediction . If assassination of me should be

      necessary to insure a full-and complete union between all the different streams of Whiggery for the restoration of that party to power , even that will not be left sntried or unapplied , to bring about what is called a union of all Reformers . And onr ranks being poor , and the Tories not steading in need of agitation , Whig money , under any species of disguise , will be spent upon demagogues and hired lecturers , to make a diversion in favour of " free trade , " which means Whig £ ery . Already the Editor of the Morning Chronicle , she leading organ of that hellish faction , has gone as far as even just servility would allow him , to induce a recourse to fire and incendiarism , as a means of producing a nnion amongst Reformers . The-attempt is being m&dr . Feelers are put OHt everywhere , and t ' ue people's temper is being tested upon the pn > j-ct of union . A Conference was

      to have been held next month at Birmingham , of delegates of the electoral body for that purpose , but thanks to the ever-watchful eye of the Editor of the Northern Slar , he has driven them from their fastness and csmpelled that democratic body to abandon their class notion . Here then at Birmingham , and next month , will b 8 the trial of strength between Eham and real principles . This Conference will be the most important ever held . If the people are unprepared they will be sold to the Whig 3 . Much of the £ 50 , OC 0 will be spent in corrupting the delegates ; but yet have I reliance upon the public voice . Bere then we may try our strength against Whiggery , and if elected , there 1 will go to lend my aid in its destruction . No man in hi 3 seases can fail to see what is now going on , and the leaning of the Complete Suffragites to the Free-trade party .

      If any Chartist requires rules and good ones for hi 3 government , let him read the following proceedings of a meeting recently held in Glasgow , and eepecially the concluding question to the "hnmbngs " :-" The directors of the Glasgow Charter Association met in their Hall , College Open , on Friday evening , Mr . H . Crawford in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting being read and confirmed , Mr . Brown , secretary , requested that the appointment of the Observation Committee being the first subject in order of discussion be postponed to the next meeting ; he made this request from reasons which he vu not prepared just then to state , unless pressed to do to . Agreed to .

      " The subject of the delegate meeting , agreed to at the List meeting of the directors , was then taken into consideration , when it was unanimously agreed that thfi said meeting be held on Tuesday evening , tte 15 th instant , in Lbe Chartist Church , Es * t R ^ eotttxeet . " Mr . Ancot said he had Been in the Nonconformist a report of the late meeting of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union , from which it appeared they had altered the plan originally laid down for the election of delegates to the Conference to be held in December next

      " It was agreed , that as the matter was now left in the hands of the people , that in the circular calling the delegate meeting on the 15 th , the various shops , fictories , and districts , be requested to instinct their respective delegates as to whether they wish to bend delegates to the forthcoming Conference . There appeared to be a unanimous feeling that the necessary number of delegates be sent to represent Glasgow . We trust the people will now do their duty , and send from every town and locality the necessary number of representatives , and let those be stern , uncompromising democrats—let there be no trimming as to allowing each party an equal Dumber at all meetings—let the voice , the omnipotent voice of the people , be the only rulelei ihe people bear in mind that oke vote , by ose DELEGATEHAT DESTBOT THE "WHOLE .

      * - In case any attempt be made to call meetings for the appointment of delegates at an hour when it may be inconvenient for the working class to attend , at the risk of being considered factious , we wonld recommend the foilo'wir . f , in order that this Conference may in reality be mads a reflex of the public mind . Sbould a metting be called in the forenoon , or in the afternoon seoner than eig&t o ' clock , p . m ., let such of the people ' s friends as may find it possible , a'Atad , and move an adjournment till eight o ' clock , p . m . ; and if circumstances should require it , let the discussion en the adjournment be continued till eight o ' clock , when the people should be warned to attend ; let them be duly apprised of their Meads' determination not to

      allo » * ny vote to be taken before they , the peeple , hrre an opportunity of attending . Let none shrink from tbeir duty on this occasion ; the abuse of faction is easily borne , bat a trrong vote once taken , sometimt-s is not easily cancelled ; better be charged with making long speeches jh * -n allow delegates to be appointed who do not represent public opinion . I * t all bear in mind that no committee can , or dare presume to make rules fer conducting the business of meetings called for the election of delegates ; no man there dare take npon him to fay who shall or shall not speak , or how long they shall speak ; every man there

      has a right to espies Ids opinion , either in five EiiButes or in five hours . No Manchester clfrical humbug , no mating the Charter movement Bubser-Tient to "Whig gamaon ; we know the tricks of some of these parties ; we are fnlly a-ware of their movements , and shall in due time exhibit them te the public eye . "Why are the proceedings of the list meeting of the Complete Suffrage Association held in Nelson-street not published ? Arc they afraid to let it be known that they discussed the propriety of joining the League ? If we are wrongly informed we are willing to be corrected . "

      Now , my friends , a Scotchman ' s word is as good as an Irishman ' s blow , so if you don't mind me , mind the Scotchmen . 0 , fcr a few mch English middle-class men as Moir , Proudfootj M'Pherson , { Aberdeen ) , Ancoat , and the g / orious George Ross . In hopo to see some or all of them there speaking the Scotch mind to our middle-class delegates ; till then farewell . Mark my wcrd and act accordingly . I have in my hand about £ 10 for the purpose of Bending delegates , and I will add my mite . But let us meet them and make them friends or prove ftem enemies . Ever your faithful friend , Feaegcs O'Cokkob .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association continues to promulgate its principles and augment its numbers . At its meeting on last Sunday , there were a great number of strangers present , not one of whom went away unconvinced of tbo right of every roan to tbe suffrage , and several were enrolled . A mass of correspondence from the provinces was read ; amoDgst the rest , a letter from Mr . Leeson . classical teacher , in Wicklpw , transmitting the request of Mr . Jeffers , of that vicinity , for admission . Mr . Ctuinness addressed the meeting at some length , on the right of every man , living under laws and supporting tbe state , to a voice in the regulation of public property . He regretted tbat their agitation could not be carried on without any an madversions on Mr . 0 'CoDnelI . ~ Mr .

      O'Higeins , in proposing a member , said tbat it was quite silly to suppose that they could discuss politics in Ireland without incidentally mentioning Mi . O'Connell ' s name , particularly when they took into consideration that gentlemian ' s sinuous , inconsistent , and he would add unworthy course respecting the Charter . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) If he let them alone they certainly would not be the first te attack ; but let any one look at the insults offered Chartists generally and their body in particular by Mr . OConnellin his last report upon Repeal , and say if they would not foe altogether destitute of the spirit and bearing which t > elonsed to honest and independent men , if they did not fling back upon their author the infamous aspersions made upon the Chartists of

      England , and tha affected contempt—while he feared it in bis heart—with which he treated their association—( cheers ) . For his own part he would , in imitation ot the Roman Brutus , say that tbiusb he liked Mr . OConnL-11 well , he hkfd Ireland better—( hear ) . When he said he liked O Connell , he meant the O'Connell of other days , ere be had lost the feeling , the frankness , the fervor , and the honesty which he bartered for Whig patronage , and became the hired fcupporter of a party vhicb , in a sincere moment , be bad justly denominated "base , bloody , and brutal . "—( cheers . ) Mr . Dyott said Mr . O Connell had talked about the " innate utility ' of Chartism having been begrimed and destroyed by the follies of thosa connected with the movement . Mr . O'Connell should know tbat principle and "innate

      utiiity' were indestructible and immutable in their nature ; no individual nor even general guilt er folly could destroy principle or obliterate utility . — ( hear , hear ) . Although persons of viol # nt conduct of even atrocious crime , bad disfigured the Chartist ranks , the " Charter "—that pure embodiment of a nation ' s justice , and a nation ' s sentiment stood intact and entire , nay sbsne the more refulgent after it had been passed through the furnace of adversity . — ( Hear . ) But be denied that one tenth of the violence or physical force bad taken place in England , during tbe agitation for the Charter , which had marked the progress o ( tithe agitation in Ireland . —( hear , )—an agitation which , as Mr . OHiggins had ably proved , was bo impotently concluded by Mr . O Cjnnell , whose health tbe parsons of Ireland

      \« ere in the nightly habit of toasting . —( Hear am ! laugbter . ) But Mr . O'Connell repudiated any connection with Ohartibin : int » how sad a mistake then had his fdut Achates , Mr . Sttele fallen , who at the meeting of the lieyeal Association immediately previous , had declared they were V all Chartista , " though not OConnorites . — ( Htar . ) Mr . O'Connell said they were "few " and " insignificant . " He ( Mr . D . ) had a hundred times heard the same mighty leader Bay that no man was too humble —no individual too insignificant to assist in the work of his country ' a regeneration . Yet now he tells us that we , 1 036 p rsons , were too contemptible for notice ! Which does this rtflsct disgrace on—O'Connell or the Irish Universal Suffrage Association ?—( Hew , bear . ) Can he be called the friend of democracy T

      Yet be owes all to the people . —( Cheers . ) The fact wm Mr . O'Connell was an aristocrat and leagued to tbe Whig faction . Be knew well that the repeal as now sought was all delusion and fcamboci ^ e ; but he lived on the ¦ access of tbe Eman ci pation agitation , and by Ingenuity he had dextrously made the Irish think that it was he who carried the measure , which had been making progress before he wa » born , and wos finally achieved by the devotedness of the forty shilling freeholders , whom he basely betrayed— ( hear)—after climbing into Parliament on their suffrages , and helping in all his relations and friends , to save them , in many instances , from arrests , until ttey could be provided for out of the taxes , and placed as additional burdens on the shoulders of an im-

      poverished and ereduleus people , who believed him sincere , and subscribed upwards of £ 20 . 060 a-year in proof of their gratitude , which kept him from taking office himself , because three Lord Chancellorshi p * would not put as muck in bis wallet ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) They had at length begun to spread tbe truth amongst ; the people ; hence the former abuse and the present afiected contem > t of Mr . O Connell ; they gave him credit for his hatred , to all who opposed his dictatorship and exposed his inconsistency . Bat he would find that as they had progressed under his calumnies , so they would live out his contempt , while it was his ( the speaker ' s ) firm , conviction that tbe testy ant * thwarted old man wauld die of a new complaint—he would die of a " second society . "—

      ( Hear , and laughter . ) The Chairman , Mr Moran , gave a graphic account of Mr . O'Connell ' s conduct lo the tradesmen of Dublin , during the time of his recession to avoid voting on the Canada bill , when his friends , the Whiga , were coercing that people . He said he an 4 others who had then denounced the base attacks of tbe middle-class Liberator , met with all kinds of opposition and obloquy . But truth , said Mr . Moran , prevailed . Mr . O'Connell , after spending lota of the people ' s money on a "Commission , " was obliged to surrender to the men , and be ( Mr . Moran ) had been presented with a silver snuff-box for his exertions—( hear , and cheers . ) After some other business had been transacted , and several other temaika made , the meeting separated .

      MANCHESTER—Carpenter s Hall .- On Sueday Ivjst two lectures wwe delivered in th « above Hull by Wuu Dixou ia the afternoon , and by . Mt . J . Lea . ^ h in tbe evening . Tbe lectures were well attended , la the aftemoou Mr . J . Murray was called to the chair , and opened the meeting by making a moat fueling appeal to the Chartists of Manches t er en bebalf of the victim Ellis , and the other brave fellows who &rt > auf . feriog ia tbe people ' s causa—Mr . D < xon tben entered into an analysis of the Beforoi Bill , and the effect it had produced upon the community ; after which he made a few remarks opon the life and lab * ors of the immortal Henry Hunt , and the treatment which that sterling patriot received at tbe bands oi tbe people during tbe agitation for the Whig humours : and

      concluded by an appeal on behalf of those suffdring < n tbe cause , and especially on behalf of the Tory victim , E . lto . A very liberal subscription wes made towards defraying the expences of bit . Eiiis ' s ease . In the evening the Hall was crowded with a highly respectable audience . Mr . Knight was unanimously cAiled to the chair . Mr . Knight said that when ha entered the ball be bad not tbe most distant idea of being called to the chair . But he ( Mr . Knight ) was proud to say that be was a member of a family that hud suffered much in the cause of right against might Mr . Kuight then commenced a severe satire upon the so called Christian ministers of this country , and concluded by stating , that if the ministers of religion had < io :: e their duty the people would not have been in tneir Dresent

      deplorable condition , and concluded bis remarks by introducing Mr . Leach . Mr . Leach said that the remarks of the Chairman reminded him cf gome little business that he had had with the parsuna during the part Week . The circumstances of which , were , that he had taken an active part in the getting up of a petition for a man that'had been transported for tlftoen > uars at the late commission at Liverpool , for being in company with some others , who were begging in Tboiua *' street The sum tbat they received was four ehillingc aad sixpence , and . the parties giving it sword tUat they save it from fear . He ( Mr . Leach ) was sure that this man was as innocent of the charge as any man in tbat meeting ; but because be was seen in tbs crowd , he had this severe sentence passed upon him . His

      wife had two children , and had been delivered of a dead child in the Manchester wor&bousd since her husband was sent to prison ; and , it was the opinion of the doctors who attended her tbat the death of the child waa occMtoBod by her trotting for her husband . He ( Mr , Leach ) thought that it would be advisable to get the petition signed by some of the parsons of the town , knowing that they would have some influence with Sir James Graham—and thinking that the man ' s wife would be the likeliest to make an impression In his favour—he sent her to several of those moek gentlemen . But , did they sign the petition ? No , they did not , but told the poor woman that her husband had only got what he deserved , and tbat he and all tha rest ought to suffer for their horrid crimes . Ho tben

      said that be would dismiss the " parsons , " and coma to a subject with , which tuey ware more immediately interested . It appears ( said Mr . Leach ) tbat tho middle classes are determined tbat if yoa will not joia in a union with them , that they will compel you—( bear , hear )—or , at least , if you wout unite with them , they will make you pay your share of £ 50 , 0 u 0 ; and how did they do this ? Why , the very last week , several of the manufacturers had made their work-people contribute to this fund . But what are we to unite with them for ? Is it for the ) Chartet I No ; but a repeal ot the Corn Laws . There was no man mora anxious for a union of the- middle and working classes than he ( Mr . L ? &ch ) , providing that tbat union was based upen the principles of

      honeaty . He ( Mr . L ) was wilting to unite with the Duke of Wellington , or any other man , no matter what was bis uarae , bis party , or his creed , if be would give an even-hauded measure of justice to the whole people ; but if it was short of this he ( Mr . Leach , ] would have nothing to do with it , nor allow the people to be led astray by any ' clap trap' without being told of their danger . TUe London press ia now dragging up the ashes of the murdered Holberry , and endeavouring by this measure to get your good wishes , and by taking up the name of Holbary as the murdered victim of tha Tories , try to persuade you to throw out the Tories and put in the Whigs , Bat when you were sending petitions and memorials to tbe Whigs , telling them that the prison discipline was killing Holberry , did the

      Chronicle or any other part of the press , with the exception of your own organ ; back your prayers ? No . The name of Holberry Was not to be found in their pages—but the fact is there 1 b this £ 50 000 , and tbeir ringers are itching to get bold of a part of it , and there is nothing too mean for them to stoop to for money . He ( Mr . Leach ) thought that the working men of England set more value upon tbe sacred ashes of Holberry than to let faction make use of them to entrap them into an ignoble union with tbeir greatest enemies . Mr . Leach then exposed the fallacious arguments brought forward by the Leaguers , one or two of which is all we can give in this brief report . Tbe Corn-Law gentry have got anew argument that they are SDouling forth . We have been telling them tbat if all

      the world was to grow corn for us we could not eat it . Oh 1 siy they , now we never intended tbat the corn tint we brought should be eaten in England , we would send part . with our shipping to other parts of the world . This , said Mr . Leacb , is tbe truth . They neier did intend that we should eat tbe corn , but where would we band it ? It would loot rather strange to bring it from America and take it back again . But suppose they took it to France , tbe fact is if they needed it tha people there must , be engaged in some other way than growing com for themselves and the consequence would be tbat if they wanted our corn they would not want oar manufactured goods . Laurence Hey worth says that when food ia cheap tbe working classes clothe themselves , and the conf « quecce is , that wasea advance , and trade is good .

      Well , food has come down in tbe market ; but have wages advanced ? No ; on the contrary , the masters of this town have takes advantage of this , and have said to tueii' work-peeple , food is cheap , and therefore yoa can live upon less—and in place of wages rising , they have been reduced , and the constfuence is , that tha food of the peop e is not any cheaper , bat dearer , than it was , for they have less to buy it with . Mr . Cobden distinctly stated , Iaatweek , that the wages of the working classes in this country most come down whether the Corn Laws , were repealed or not Mr . Leacb then referred to America , and said , how is it ? if we could hav-: such a good market in that country , tbat there is so much distress there amongst tlio cotton operatives , many of whom are coming back to this country to seek

      that employment they cannot find there 1 and how comes it to pass that the back settlements of America have so amch com on hand that they are willing to give us in return for clothing tbat they stand so much in need of , and at the same time the corn is wanted at New York and Philadelphia ; and at those places they have plenty of clothing as good aa ours to give them in return ? In fact , said Mr . Leach , ic is all a delusion , and as it regards the cheapness of food , it just depends upon your capability to purchase . The reductions in the wages of the powerlooni weavers of Manchester within the last sixteen or eighteen months have been more than all the bread he-eata , the tax npon it , and altogether . Lawrencu Hey worth , is right , a home market is what we witit , for we exchange our blood and sweat for articles of no value , to decorate the persons of ft bleated

      aristocracy , who have become a pigmy race by their licentious and luxurious manner of living , and require the aid of tinsel and precious stones to make their persons fit to look upon . At a ball beld some time ago in London , tbeir persons were decorated with diamonds to the value of £ 4 000 , 000 , whilst the working classes who bad produced that which went to purchase those baubles , was starviug . Working men , what would you think of giving 300 , 080 pieces of calico for a little stone no larger than a horse-bean ? Mr . Leaches' lecture took upwards ot twe hours in . the delivery , and was most instructive ..- At the conclusion Mr . William Qrocott read the letter of Mr . O'Connor from tho Star of last Saturday , which was received with repeated rounds of applause . After the thanks of the meeting bein . j givea to ihe Cbairrusn and lecturer , the assembly dispersed .

      Manchester Youths . —A lecture was delivered by Mr . Wiliia : u Bradchaw , in their Room , Tib-street , opposite Green-street ; en Tuesday evening last Two new members were enrolled . Tae room is open every Tuesday evening for lectures and discussion , LEATCINGTON . —At a meeting of the Cbartists of this locality , tbe sum of £ 1 17 s . was handed in for the Defenca Fund Ri . ffle , and five shillings for White ' s support , Letter ' s were read from Hull , Bristol , London , and Stratford , all enquiring for particulars respecting the painting to be raffled . Zlr . Donaldson appealed to the meeting in sup ^ ojt of the Gsneiai Victim and Defento Fund . He hoped that funds would be rendered available , to rescue- that good and virtuous man , poor ElUa , from the foul grasp of the demons of mis

      rule . Ho solemnly declared Ellis was innocent of the crime for which he was stutecced to be expatriated . Was there a father or a husband in the country , possessed of a spark of humanity , who could stand unmoTeU , and not raise his voice to save tbat innocent man ? was there a tender wife or mother , is whose bosom flowed one . drop of tba mitk of human kindness , who would not sympathise with the bereaved and afflicted Mrs . Ellis , who was at this moment weeping over her helpless offspring , with an agony of feeiing which none but an affectionate wife who hus been robbed of her protector and second self con experience ? For his part , as a parent and a husband , his rtfltctiens on the subject overpowered him , and nearly choked his utterance . He could but again earnestly entreat his brother Cbartists to unite with him in renewed exertions to save the

      victims of cruel class made oppression . —Mr . Sanaford felt deeply for the whole of the political victim * , and it pained him to find that not more tfcan one-fourth of the value of tbe beautiful oil painting had yet been realiaad by tbe few tickets sold for their benefit ; however , as the letters read that night Implied tbat their friends a * a distance required further information , and time to dispose of more tickets , he begged to move that tbo raffle be deferred until the 38 th hist The motion was seconded by Mr . H&nley , and carrried unanimously . Tickets at one shilling each may be bad by applying to Jomes Hhepheri , sab-Secretary , of the National Charter Association , care of Mr . Djaaldaon , Chapel-street , Warwick . Tbe subject for discussion next night will be on t :. e propriety und necessity of the Chartists sending delegates to tbe Storge Conference at Birmingham , to render it a truty national undertaking .
