ings » - week good pay ; when it has to come out of weaver ' s pence . These are minor matters ; but they are yet worthy of attention in the outset . The mode of choosing the parties who are to form tbe ** Presidential sitting "—in r « ality the Executive Committee—as specified in the fifth article , seems ill calculates to attain Mr . Coopek ' s end , of securing business-like and efficient men . The objection to the present mode of electing the Executive is that the business habits of the candidates are of necessity strange to a majority of those who vote for them . The , plan of an annual Convention is suggested tor
the remedy of this . It is thought that each locality will be able to judge of the merits of the one man whom it may send—and that when all theBe meet together the men of business , talent , and discriminating powers will shew themselves ; w > as to afford the Convention an opportunity of selecting five men in whom all its members have confidence for tbe guidance and keeping of the BOCiety ' B affairs . But it Beems to as that this wise object must be , to a great « xteut , frustrated , if tbe choosing of these five men be made the first business of the Convention , before any opportunity
has been afforded of testing in the several discussions which may arise , the habitB and powers of the members , T ley meet together , in the first instance , for the most part , strangero to each other ; and tbe chances for the election of this "Presidential " Executive would then be very little different from what they now are . The parties be 3 t known and having most popularity or personal interest would be sure to be elected , whether possessed of the necessary specific talent or not . We think that the election of the " Presidential" Executive should be rather the last business of the Conventional session than thejfrs * .
All these , and some other matters , that might yjt be pointed out , would require attention , is the LEfiAL DISABILITIES WERE FIHST REMOVED FROM thb plan . But while the whole thing , as a whole thing , is impracticable from its oontraversion of the law , it is useless to consider its details . We have thought much and seriously upon it , and see no reason to alter , now , the opinion we personally expressed to Mr . C 00 P 2 R , when that gentleman was in
Leeds , in the middle of last summer . He then named to us tnis idea of a Conventional Execntive . We told him that we thought the idea a good one , but feared whether it could be legally carried out . We think bo still . As a general notion , this mode of electing the Execntive we think much preferable to the present one ; but tbe more we think and study of it , the more satisfied we become that the law would not permit its practical operation .
We think the present plan of organization susceptible of some improvement as to its minor details , and that with thoae improvements ; with » Secretary , worthy of the name , giving his whole time to the business of the society , and having sense and honesty to do its business ; and with a standing , unpaid Committee of four Councillors , to assist him in tbe concoction of public documents , it would still be tbe best plan whioh under present circumstanoes can be adopted forgiving efficiency to popnlar will .

THE POOR AND THEIR *• GUARDIANS /' Mast , and humiliating , have been the exhibitions made by different Boards of Guardians , " in tbeir anxiety to " carry-out" the infamous provisions of the New Poor Law Act . But many as those humiliating exhibitions have been , —humiliating to our common nainre , —it appears to us that the regulations enforced in the Hudderfifield and Dewsbury " Unions" transcend all we have previously beard of for heartleBsness and rank oppression !
It is well knoivn that one of the operations of machinery in these manufacturing districts has been to drive men out of employment , and to cause them to roam over the conntry at large in search of work , —sometimes at their own trade , and oft-times at trades and occupations for which they were not trained or fitted , excepting that , for the time , they served an avaricious master ' s temporary purpose , by accepting work at a redueed rat © of
remuneration ; and thus enabled him to sink all his "bands " in tbe scale of comfort . The ststem has compelled men to leave their homes , and betake themselves to distant parts of the country ; where , after being employed for some months perhaps , destitution has over taken them in consequence of " general depression of trade ; " and they have been compelled to apply to tbe parish-fund for the means to keep them from tbe jaws of death .
At the present moment there are many belonging to the Hu ddersfield and Dewsbury Unions so circumstanced ; and it has been determined that no relief shall be afforded them , unless they go to their respective settlements , and there earn the " relief " they are to receive , by breaking stones on the highways ! The operation of this determination will be best understood by the following statement of facts : —
Joseph Dawson , belong 3 to Huddersfield Township . He resides at present , and has done for some time , at Halifax , with his family . He is compelled , by dire necessity , to app ? j for parish relief . Before he can have a penny to enable him and his family to exist , he must earn it at the Paddock stoneheap . The wages for working at that stone-heap are 2 d . a day . He is allowed to work three-and-ahalf day 8 a-week . It iB a fact , that for months together , this poob man has walked from Halifax to
Huddersfield , a distance of eight miles , every morning , for four days of every week ; and walked back again at night !! It iB a fact also , that if he is ten minutes later than the usual time of starting " work" at the stone-heap , he is not allowed to " work" at all that day ! This Joseph Dawsom is fifty years of age ! and for ihe munificent sum of seven shillings , be has to walk a distance of sixty-four miles , and * ' work " three-and-a-half days ! 1 Whether are the stones he has to break , or the hear ts of his kind paternal " Guardians , " the hardest !
" Ah 1 but , " we hear one of their sapiencies exclaim , " Why does he go back at night ? Why doeB he not lodge in tbe town 'till bib work is completed , and then return to his family" I Because he has but seven shillings a-week for their entire support I Because his lodging , in a common lodging house , would be threepence a-nigbt . To save that threepence / or his family , he walks sixteen viies 1 And yet the poor are acensed of improvidence ! and profligacy J Who would exchange the heart of this man , for the heart of the most benevolent of bis " Guardians" !
The kind doings , however , of the protectors of the Huddersfield poor , do not end here . It is a fact , that parties residing in Leeds , sixteen mile 3 from HudderBfieW , are required to " work" at the Paddock 'Etone-heap , beiore " relief" can be afforded them ! They are to travel from Leeds to HudderBfield , " work" two days , travel back again , wish the remains of four shillings in their pocket , after they have kept themselves a ; their work and paid for a night ' s lodging : and this miserable remnant of four shillings is all that can be afforded them to maintain their families for seven days ! J What mockery of " relief" ! and how heartless and insnltingly oppressive the conditions on which it is granted . ' 1
This practice of forcing ihe absent indigent poor to go " home" ( J 1 ) to " work" for their " relief , " is not confined to the Huddersfield Union , as the following fact but too abHndantly proveB : — An old man , named Megson , SEVENTYTHREE years of age , and now residing at Huddersfield , is compelled to walk to Thornhill , a township in the Dawsbury "Union , " and distant from Huddersfield eight miles , to ** work * ' for two days , at Is . 6 d . a-day ! It takes him a full half-day to perform his journey , he is so feeble from extreme old age and insufficient food . He starts on
Monday mornings , reaches Thornhill by Monday noon , and workB till night ; works again on Tuesday , and again on Wednesday morning , reaching home ( Huddersfield ) on Wednesday night , with theremains of 3 s . in his possession , after he has paid for bis keep during his journeys , and while at work ! He would have to jouraey backwards and forwards every nigbt and morning , like Joseph Dawson , of Halifax , were it not for the kindness of another of his "improvident" and " profligate" brethren at Thornhill , who gives him a bed for the two nights he is there .

Reader , lemember , that this labouring man , who has laboured all hitj life ; who has caused more of tke good things of life to b& than he could possibly have consumed , even had he "lived like a lord ; " and ¦ whoBS rights are thus " Gaardianized ; ° remember , that this son of toil so used , is SEVENTY THREE years of age I Remark it well , too , that while the pook are thus forced to labour hard for their ** relief , " their relieving officers seem to get on very easily !
Remark it well , that Needle-Jack , of Huddersfield , has now a horse of his own 11 and can aff * rd to sit drinking in public inns for hoars together , while the poob are kept waiting until he condescends to go to curse them ! Mark these things well f and mark , too , that the authors , and enforcers , and present Fupporters , of the accursed law by virtue of which these crying eaoiimtieB are practised , are the Free-Trading , Cum-Law Repealing ruffians , who want to persuade us that they have the welfare and interest of the pocb at heart

Melancholy Death by Drowning —On Friday ( yesterday ) morning , the bodies of two young women were taken out of the canal ; at Knostrop . The elder one , named Sarah Collishe , aged 27 , is niece to Mr . J , Benson , gardener , Knoatrop , and has lived with him for the last ten years ; the other is Miss Jane Foxcroft , aged 24 or 25 , whose father , a stuff presser , resides in the Iale of Cinder . Tbe Latter had been on a visit at Mr . Benson ' s , on Thursday afternoon , and left there about ten minutes before eight o ' clock in the evening , Miss Collishe accompanying her , and tne probability is that ; from the darkness of the night , they bad both fallen into the water together , as they were found within a short distance of each other , and not more than fifty or sixty yards from the house which they had left in all
the bloom of health , only a very few minutes previous to the awful catastrophe . Mr . and Mrs . Benson made enquires at the lock house , on Thursday night , for their niece , but not bearing any thing of her contented themselves with the thought that she had determined to spend the night with her companion ; and yesterday morning a message was despatched to ascertain the fact . In the meantime , however , Jackson , the look-keeper , found a silk bag , containing a pocket handkerchief , and other trifling articles , in the lock , and this was identified by Mr . and Mrs . Benson as belonging to Miss Foxcroft , and measures were then taken to drag the canal , where the bodies were'very soon found . The bodies were removed to Mr . Benson ' s house , to await an inquest , which was held yesterday afternoon , and a veraict of " Accidental Death" returned .
Extensive Felomv . —HenTy Lineham , late clerk to Messrs . Ward and Son , solicitors , was , on Monday last , fully committed to York Castle , on two charges , one for stealing £ 575 odd , aud tho other for embezzling £ 27 odd , which he had received on Messrs . Ward's account from Mr . Edward Ripley , Lady Lane , under tbe bankruptcy of Mr . BLiokett , grocer , Briggate . A Philosophical Reason . —On Saturday last , a man named Alexander M'Kay , & journeyman tailor , was charged before the magistrates with neglecting to provide for his wife , and for refusing to live with her . His reason was that there was neither " affinity of feeling nor unity of action" between them . Stealing Tbowsers . —On Monday , a man named John Marshall , was committed for trial for having stolen a pair of trousers , on Saturday night , from a shop in Kirkeate .
Stealing Lead . —On Monday , a young lad named Richard Penrose , was committed tor trial , for having stvlen a quantity of lead from the maltkilu of Mr . N . W . Nell , in Meadow-lane ; an accomplice , named Eii Langdale , was admitted evidenoe , and ihe wito of David Basiow , a general dealer , in Hunslet-lane , who " asks no questions , " w . * s committed for receiving the same .

In reference to this we should like to know if it be true that some policemen wore drinking in a public-ht-use in Kirkgate , until between thTee and four o ' clock a few mornings ago . Perhaps Dr . Craven will look after this ?

The following address was draws up and agreed to at a delegate meeting held at W ^ dnesbury , at which there were delegates from Wednesbury , Kidderminster , Walsall , and Bilstoa . \ Tne poor woman ' s case is an urgent one , and we trust there wilt be a noble response to the call thus made upon the Chartist public : — \
TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . j We the Chartists of South Staffordshire being impressed with the claims which the wife of tho martyred Ellis has upon public commisseration , would urge upon you the necessity of taking immediate steps to p lace her , along with her family , in comfortable circumstances , and lessen , as far as sympathy can lessen , the sorrow she must endure on accoHnt of her husband ' s expatriation from his native country . I
You will , many of you , b © aware , that Mrs . Ellis has been left the sole protectress of four children , and in a very indifferent situation ; and there is in many a disposition to persecute a helpless family for the opinions and course of the parenV . To whom then can the children of Ellis and his partner look for succour bat to those men in whose cause he suffered , and whose principles be so long and faithfully advocated and defended against the common oppressors of our ill-fated oountry ? ; The working men of England are aware that tbe principles of our Charter will gather strength just
in proportion as they rally round those men wbo advocate them ; and shall it be said , that after toiling to emancipate hie country , and braving want , danger , and imprisonment , with no object before his mind ' s eye but the emancipation of his race and kinsmen from class-laws , —shall it ever be said that he was forgotten , and his offspring neglected , by a nation unworthy of biro ? rather let our movement itself be sunk deeper than human plummet ever sounded , before wo can abandon Ellia ^ o his fate , daring , as he did , to defend the rights of universal man when Chartism itself was struggling for an existence . ¦
Perhaps it may be necessary to state ; that Mrs . Ellis passed through Wednesbury and staid a few days , after bidding adieu to her husband jin London , and she expressed herself as having no prospect before her but an union workhouse , unless assisted by the country . To preveat this , let every association throw up its quota , and we shall then assuredly save her from the tender mercies of tbe wicked , which the Bible says are cruel . Such is the difficulty in which she and her family are at present , that necessity has forced hor to dispose of all her furniture ; Bhe is literally without a home , and without the moansjof getting a livelihood : and what must have been her fedings , when , instead of sympathy on her return
home , she and her helpless children were insulted by those heartless enemies of liberty in the ; Potteries . Surely no working man will be indifferent to such a case , bub will do all he can , and prompt others to do tbe same , to meet an example of such pressing necessity . What you do , let it be done quickly . Lat subscriptions be sent direct to Messrs . Cleave , of London ; Heywood , of Manchester ; Hobson , Star-Office , Leeds ; or to Benjamin Danks , Union-street , Wednesbury , Staffordshire , who is appointed General Treasurer , by the Committee , on account of Mrs .

TO THE EDITOR OP THE NOBTHERJ * SIAK . Sir , —In the report of the meeting of the Conference , published in the Star ot tbe 7 th , I find only ihe onehalf of a resolution , moved by Mr . Hobson and seconded by Mr . Roberts , and as the other baJf is of very great importance to many of onr suffering brethren , I trust you will permit me to lay It before your numerous readers . ; The published half is as follows : — " That this Conference cannot separate without expressing its ' deepest and most sincere sympathy with the persons who are now sufftjriot ' , or who may have suffered ; from espousing the cause of tbe people , and advocating fcfloir right to a jnBt and equal representative Government , and ita consideration of tbeir pre-eminent claim to the
sympathy , assistance , and support of the people ; whom they bave ao well and so faithfully served ; ' * to which I moved tbe following addition , as instructed by tbe men of Campsie , and which has not been printed , either in the reports or minutes : —•• We do , therefore , jrecoinmend to the people , that a general subscription be got np throughout the whole country for the benefit of all persons , and tbeir families , now stiff-ring imprisonment in the dungeons and gaols of England , orj transported beyond the seas for political offences , and that a general treasurer be appointed , to whom all monies so collected shall be transmitted by the local treasurers , and who shall publish , is the Northern Star , an account of all sums received , and the manner in which it is expended . "
The mover and seconder having expressed their willingness that this should stand port of the resolution , it was pat as a whole and carried unanimously ; after which Mr . Cleave , of London , was appointed general treasurer . \ It will here be seen that circumstanced as we are at this time , there cannot be too much publicity given to tbe above . Every man and woman in Great Britain , who wishes well to the great cause , -who gloriea in the name of Chutist , and who has read tbe monster indictment in your paper of last Saturday , -will surely come to tbe relief of these poor sufferers , seeing they have it in their power to do so without any sacrifice on their part .
Mr . M'lotvre . secretary to the Chartists of the Vale of Leven , lays down a simple and effective plan , which if followed up , cannot fail to secure the object aimed t > i in the resolution of tbe Conference He says , let the acting committee , councillors , or collectors , of tbe various associations and localities , meet immediately , and portion oat their towns , or districts , giving to each collector a fair share of the work . Let each man then commence a canvass of all the people in his district , Chartists and non-Chartists , asking one half-penny from each ; and supposing that only tbe one-third of the people paid—cay even less—supposing that 'only the one-half of those who signed the National
Petition gave this small sum , we would have a fand calculated to gladden the heart of tbe care-worn , dungeoned patriot , by giving kirn to know that his wife { and little ones would not perish of hxrager -while hej lingered in hip loathsome celL This half-penny would raise a barrier moi-e formidable than ten thousand bayonets to tbe onward progress of a cruel and persecuting administration . But an objection ma ; be raised here , that many would not pay even tbia small sum . Well , granted that only 1 . 600 , 000 responded to [ the call , and I am of opinion that it is not going too far in calculating on that number , we would then bave above £ 3 , 000 . I
It is my humble opinion , Sir , that Mr . M'lntyre ' s plan is quite workable , and I would therefore urgejthc Chartists to set about it in every corner of the land ; if they act with spirit and energy in this matter , and raise the above sum , there will soon be an end to prosecution for opinion . I remain , Sir , Your sincere friend , As you are the friend of my Order , . Con Mvrray . [ In the report referred to , the latter half of tbe resolution was by mistake omitted ; Mr . Murray would see / however , that in the " Miaatee of Conference ' it was inserted in full . —Ed . N . 8 . ] :

Dkeadful Cask Of Child Murder.—Mr. Carter, The Coroner For Surrey, On Monday Held An Inquest
Dkeadful Cask of Child Murder . —Mr . Carter , the coroner for Surrey , on Monday held an inquest
at the . Prince William Henry , Bermondsey-street » on the body of a very fine female child , which was found dead under the following dreadful circumstances : —Ann Stagg , of No . 2 , Shepherd ' s-gardens , Spa road , Bermondsey , stated that on Tuesday night , about eight o ' clock , she had occasion to go to a water closet , from which the lock had been forced , and being in a court , is accessible to any one passing by . She observed a bundle on the seat , which caused her some alarm , and she went for the assistance of a neighbour , of the name of Smith , who opened it , and found it to contaiu the body 01 a very fine female child It was quite dead , and covered with a piece of white calico . The police were called in , and it was conveyed to Mr . Ttlley ' s ,
of Jamaica-row , surgeon to the force , who was subsequently directed by the Coroner to make a post mortem examination of the body , which tie did , and the result of it is as follows . The body was generally healthy ; the lungs bad been inflated , and he had no doubt it had been born alive . The umbilical cord was lacerated , and great hemorrhage had taktin place . This , and exposure to tbe cold , were the cause of death . The Coroner suggested an open verdict should be returned ; but the jury said it was clearly a case of murder , which was of a nature now too frequent . A verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown , " was then returned . Inspector Hornsby said he had made every inquiry , aud would continue the investigation ; hitherto it bad been without effect .

abuses , however , nsnally do lead to useful revisions and in the present ewe the people seem disposed wisely , wMle deploring the abase of their confidence which crippled the powers of their Organization , to enquire whether the Organization itself may not be capable of such revision as may , to some extent at least , preclude the recurrence of such abuses . Few things hnman are absolutely perfect in their-kind . It is not , therefore , to be wondered at , if in the execution of bo difficult a task as that of devising an Organization of ihe whole people , which should nnite and systematise their efforts for
political redemption , and yet keep clear of al ) the ingenious meshes of the law , some little things should have been left capable of some improvement We have long been ef opinion that the manner of choosing tie Executive Committee was liable to objecSon . The Execntive Committee , and more especially the Secretary and Treasurer , should be men of business . They should be cool-headed , far-seeing , discriminating men ; able to form a sober judgment of tbe conseqHences likely to ensue from any courseof conduct they might recommend to the people under given circumstaBces . They should not be
bullnecked obstinates , wbo , having fixed their minds npon a point , would rather sink the cause than fail to carry it . Tiey should be men capable of forming a grave estimate of the grave dnviea of their office , and the important interests committed to them : and wbo would , therefore , weigh well , carefully , and rationally , every step they recommended to be taken . Above- all , they should not be men easily pnffed up with a conceit of their own dignity and importance—fond of prating about "their own responsibility , " and calculating npon their power to excite a public meeting by a ftw mouthing phrases ,
33 a means of covering , and escaping from the consequences , ef whatever madness or incompetency they may exhibit ; and , before all , they should be men morally just and politically honest . They should not be money-grubbers and living-seekers . Their object should be not to live by and out of th « cause , but to live in and for the cause . Such should be the character of the people ' s Executive . Speechmaking may or may not be snperadded as an accomplishment ; "but whether able to make speeches or not they shonld be honest , clear-sighted , strong-minded , discriminating business men .
Spescbmaking is , at best , a mere secondary , and , in eom-P&rison of these qualities , a very trivial , recommendalion . Kowj the mode of electing tbe Executive nnder the present system , doe 3 not give a fair chance either to the candidates or ihe electors . The real points of merit in the respective candidates are necessarily known nothing of by the far greater portion of those wbo vote ; and 2 , man ' s chance for election depends mncb more npon the popularity he may have acquired by speech-makiag in various localities than npon his possession of those qualities which alone ought to be regarded as the test of
fitness . W © have seen ibis long ; and have therefore thought Mr . Cooler ' s plan for the election of an Executive committee decidedly preferable , as to its general notion , to the present one . We do not think that Mx . Coopes . himself proposes the best mode of carrying oat his own general idea , as we shall shew by and by . But there are other and much more serious objections to this plan of Mr , Cooper ' s ; objections which tiD they are removed mnst preclude all tbonghj of its being substituted for the present plan , or adopted as a whole by the Chartist body .
Next to the adoption by the people of an uniform plan , it shonld be their object to have a legal one . The law-makers have made this difficult ; biit it is yet possible ; and that which may be done mnst be done for the prosperity of our cause . We have often and again called attention to the provisions of the iniquitous laws against political societies , designed to prevent the possibility of any national organiration . We have often reminded the people that the faction by whom those laws were passed has now the power of enforcing them ; and , since their provisions may be complied with , and yet an effective national organization had , it ia essential that this point be well attended to . By tbe third and fourth " articles of Mr . Coopkb ' s plan , it is provided that : —
" 3 . The general government of the Association shall be vested in an Annual Convention—to be assembled in London , in the month of April of each year , and to close its sittmgs at tbe end o ! three weeks , ox earlier , if convenient " 4 . Tbe said A-irrvnyfl Convention shall be composed of delegates from Chartist districts -, tbe delegates to be fleeted by tbe people is j > nb . ie meeting assembled ; the districts , and tbe nqiaber of representatives from each , to be arranged by tbe first Animal Convention , and re-arranged by succeeding A mum ! Conventions , & * need may arise . "
Now , by this arrangement , it is clear that the Chartists of each district will act , in the election of their delegate , not individaally , but collectively , and as a body , independent of , and separate from , each other district . The delegate for Leicester wonld be , to all intents and purposes , an officer appointed by Leicester , and representing and acting for , and on behalf of Leicester—separately and distinctly from any other district . He would be elected by the Leicester " people , and answerable to them for his conduct . He would be , in fact , a delegate elected by , and acting for , that part . Now , this is a desirable thing ; bnt like most other desirable things-, it is precluded by law .
By the 39 Gee . III . c . 79 , it is among other things enacted : — " That every society composed of different divisions , or branches , or of different parts acting , in any manner , separately or distinctly from each oiber ; or of which any part shall have any distinct Preadent , Secretary , Treasurer , Delegae , or other officer elected or appointed by or for such part , or to act as an officer for such part , shall be deemed and taken to be an unlawful eombination and confederacy . Aid the pnnishmente enacted by this law for all who take any part in snch " unlawful combinations aad confederacies" range from transportation as a maximum to various " terms of imprisonment .
Here , then , is a stopper , at once , npon Mr . Cooper ' s plan of an annsal Convention as a permanent governing body for a political society . Delegate meetings for public and general purposes , in which aix are concerned , and all may vote , whether Whigs , Tories , or Chartists , and the election of snch delegates by public and open meetings of the inhabitants of any place , duly convened , are perfectly legal ; bnt when those delegates assume to themselves the government of a political society , each of them representing and
acting for a part of that society , they do an illegal aet : they become parties to whas this law terms " an unlawful combination and confederacy , " and every man of them becomes liable to transportation . So , again , Jhe Sib , 9 » h , 11 th , and 12 fn articles of Mr . Coopeb's plan clearly supposo and imply a 4 is : inctnes 8 of action between the several localities , the Presidential Sessions , and the Annual Conventions , the operation of which would be to bring ihe whole society within the sweeping provisions of this Act ; making every member liable to all it 3
penalties . The 18 th , 19 tb , and 21 st articles are again calculated to bring every member of the Association into direct collision with . the law ; as each of these articles supposes a separate action of each of the localities , for itself , and distinct from any other locality . There are various other matters in which we think the plan objectionable . We see no good end to be served by the " Piesidential sittings , " that might not be equally Berved at a less oost by a
standing unpaid committee to assist the Secretary . We see no need of , or nsefor , a " ¦ Vice-Secretary . " We cannot understand why the Secretary and President should be paid more than other members of the Convention . This seems to us to be only calculated to create a Bcr&mbling fer those offices , and to beget the hazard of their falling rather to the lot of popularity , or party and personal influence , than to that of speciSe and necessary talent . We have little notion of these aristocratic distinctions among Chartists . Tuey tend to no good . W « thick forty sMU-

THE CASE OF MRS . ELLIS . To the Editor of the Evening Star . Sir , —I have great pleasure in telling my brother Chartists , that I have received a letter this morning from that good and honest Chartist , Mr . B . Danks , of Wednesbury , hinting that it is possible poor Mrs . Ellis' may find a resting-place there , provided a sufficient sum be furnished to give her a good start ia business . Nothing is needed now but for every good Chartist to set about raising the necessary funds . Let it be remembered that John Cleave is the treasurer , —and he baa £ 3 11 b . to begin with . | O'Connor has promised Mrs . Ellis to give her all due help : will he undertake to move | London in her behalf ! I will pledge my word that
Leicester shall not be behind . Sweet!—I can depend on you , I am confident , to put Nottingham in motion . Hamey !—you will urge the good Siieffi lders to do their best . Hobson—Brook I come—yoke your horses , and let something be done to furnish bread , from Leeds , for this poor widow and ! her four helpless orphans . Robert Brook J—say to | he Todmorden lads , that their sister will perish in a Bastile , if they do not stretch out their bands and help . Leach !—tell Manchester , even iu its starvation , that the exile's beloved wife and babes must be helped . Clarke !—use your eloquence at ! Stockport , ia the cause of these suffering ones . [ White ! —let not Birmingham be behind : struggle to set it first . i
Let but £ 50 be raised to give the wife and children of Ellis a home , and some prospect of comfort , —and I , for oae , will return to a prison , with some content . Thomas Cooper . Leicester , January 13 , 1843 . '
Mrs. Ellis.
