WHEEE IS THE MONEY ! OW TO GET AT IT . s Solomon was a-wise man , and Sampson was . a jtrong man : and yet neither of them codd pay . jnoney if Iib had'nt it . * TJnpalataVeasmanj of our iraisms are to the ears of fraud and oppression , ire hare nevertheless ft light to expect ¦ universal acquiescence in the above axiom , IFisej then , as our present "Solomon " ( FKEL ) may be ; and slrcng as our present u Sampsob" iWsiisBTOsl may appear : yet "will all who have Deen accustomed to rdy epos the wisdom and strength of former * Solomons" and "Sampsons " fiwfl thai favpay nosey a mas must first hare it ,
ntegambling system to which we hare referred upon many , Tery many , occasions , las had precisely ibe effect that TveiaveEO often foretold . It has so centralized wealth , By the operation of artificial jMm-conjurot ap power , Jhat itsowners may Fafelydefy the "wisest * statesman to devise means 2 o ^« f ol iff irtule thenecessity forgetting at it compels reckless expenditure to hold the greatest soSerers from the system in silent subjection . Ce 5 X 3 a £ IZAtiok is the rock upon which the system iriU split ; laisrstEnis one thing , andnassx is another thing 1 A msa may be a great admirer of , and Tery loyal to , a system
which ias enabled him nsjn&Qv to horde millions oat of the labour of others ; Iralils god will not baaofbe upheld ; or even worshipped , at the expence of the fortune of any portion of it , that it has conferred upon him . So long as the production t ) f nil vtere in some measure eqbhslt jhstbi-3 niEiv among ally—capital and speculation being jnstly legaited , while labour was partially protected , — $ o long trasii easy to devise means ** to get il ' the general labour -mid capital fund , through the usual channels of iaxtztion . Some regard was then had to demand and supply , not only in the producing , bnt also in the mercantile and agency departments . "Wienthe markets were sufficiently
stocked * jiToa hciion and speculation in business slackened-: that is 3 when Tmmna ^ labour gave the sterling stamp of Talue to real money , and when capital consisted for the most part of that real money , a combination of both interests checked the « v 3 of over-production in its infancy ; while trade being also carried on for the most part with real money , the agency , or shopkeeping , market was regulated by demand and supply . These two circumstances then , traffic being carried on in real money , and prudence forbidding too great a venture in a balanced trade and shopkeeping market , insured the expenditure of the whole labour fund in such commodities as our " Solomons" could devise means
B to jjtt at , " This process was aided by the law of pr imogeniture , winch closed the land market against speculation ; and all these ctrenmstances combined ensured the circulation of the great national fund through such Vh * -rmpU as would flow , in one shape or other , into the Government Exchequer . The insiduous means , however , by which taxation could be brought to bear upon the necessaries of the many ; tnsaxiL , by any possibilUx / be toads to reach the large fortunes amassed by the feu ! The ^ reat extension " of our trade in artificial produce , has led to a corresponding extension of artificial money to keep it afloat : and what aucmsERY is to i ^ khjb ,
ticnnoxis capital is to xtax xoxet ; each depressing and hourly rendering less valuable thai which U proposes to represent . Hence the existence of a sound labour market is incompatible with the existence of an unsound monetary system : and the straggle is now between nature and artifice . The Government— ironld it continue to eadst , —and the ' whole body of the people must take the side of aatnre ; while THE THIKG , which ihB Govern mentis said to represent , " national faith "; and the fxtteners "npon national folly and Government imbecflity , mustmatshaH themselves under the banners ofartifiee .
! The system of producing by an ob consuming power has driven the owners of real capital out of Ihe market . Men with £ 3 , 000 , £ 4 , 000 , or even £ 10 , 000 , and without artificial credit , could not bold up against men who , though vriihont say real capital , are etni in alliance or partnership with the Managers of the "joint" funds of others ; having an unlimited use of ** I promise to pay , " and as many Benewals" as they please to " accept " , at 2 minterest by no means commensurate with the anticipated profits from a bustling trade . These are the Kharfrq of the speculating order ; and have not
only devoured ihe profits of those who , -withont large bank-credits , were compelled to buy and sell "With the day ; but they have also swallowed up the remnant of every bankrupts fortune , widow's penson , and confiding " shareholders * ' all : the total of which constituted the supposed Becurity of ten Sines the amount of " paper" it was said to represent . The command of capital and of machinery enabled the Ievxhhass « f trade to bold and to over-hoid 5 while the small fry , witb the produce of real money , were compelled to compete with the worthleSs 1 speculators in the same market . Hence
has arisen a system of gambling in tbe mannfaeiuring market upon the necessities of snail traders : established precisely upon the principle by which ** stock" in the money market is affected by persons merely transferring it fromside to side of their ledger ; speculating upon a " riBe ox fall" in the ¦ value of olhei ' men's money I How many mall ttannTactirreTs have been mined by one or two depressed markets ! while those teho hove caused Ihe depression have made thai profit which legitimately belonged to the fair trader , by merely overholding their produce for a ™ iise" 11
Let us now see tow this system affects the shopkeepers . "We will EHppose twenty or thirty small traders in clothes and woollen cloths to be making a Bring , with moderate profits , upon iea 3 capital . We will also suppose that a portion of "surplus capital ' 1 is applied by some adventurer in the Eame line of business . With a bank-credit , he starts in opposition ; advertises ; sends out Ms placards and perambulators ; Taises money upon appearances ; undersells all ; till he fails himself , ^ with full tcckeis 1 and wben be has Bwallowed up ihe profits of "brisk trade , " and destroyed
all without credit , he makes a settlement . with the representative of ibe shareholders of some unfortunate "joint stock" 1 To put the slimax on the " -wise" proceeding , all the costs of legal proceedings are saddled apon those who , by the stem-h , have lost allcontronlovertheir " aH 'jand at length another respectable class of the community , composed of retired tradesmen , widows , and thGse who anticipated security for the remnant of their fortunes , are thrown helpless and , unpirjed on the world ! while commisaonera , lawyers , and law sharks , langh at their misfortunes , and fatten upon the fragments of tiie " stock * !
In the midst of this general confnsion , bronght ' abbct by ihis fictitious system , we find tie parties . ¦ whohave fattened upon it cnaracterisJically b 3 whng ! lns for it 3 " extension" 1 And in this "bawl " taej ire joined by tec men who have been stripped of their u a ] i » fcy its operations so fail This u moit nnaeeouatable I Thereneed be no wonder why . isea shovdling up thousands and hundreds of thsu-1 Bands in a few j ^ ars , strennonsly strive for the con- ;

THE CONFERENCE . It being now arranged that the Conference shall be holden at Birmingham on the 5 th of next month , we have , in common with masy of our correspondents , to express a fervent hope that none bnt good and true men will beappointedas delegates . The forthcoming meeting surpasses in importance all others that have ever been holden by the Chartist body ; and will consequently be looked forward to with an intensity of interest . The Tecent dodgxngs of the Attwoods , the Muxtzes , and the Edmokj > 3 give an additional interest to the place of meeting ; while the reception of the people ' s friend , Mr . Dwcohbb , will be calculated to furnish an additional test of popular devotion to the principles of-the People ' s Charter .
It will be well to remind the delegates of the opinions expressed by several Judges of itie land , as to the legality of agitating for the People ' s Charter ; and further to remind them that to the MODE of agitation , and not to the principles contended for , has legal authority been enabled to stretch the quirks and quibbles of the law . Baron Rolfb has said : " The advocates of the People ' s Charter have a LEGAL RIGHT to endeavour , by all peaceable means , to induce others to join them , in order to make the Charier become the law of the land . " Again the same great constitutional Judge said "A man cannot beTRlED FOR CHARTISM . It is perfectly legal to be a Chartist and to advocate Chartist principles . Mr . Justice Ebskirk has delivered the following
opinion— " Let it not be said that a man can be tried for being a Chartist : it is absurd . " Baron Au > ss&on has said : Any man , or body of men , have as good fight to be Chartists as other men have to be , Whigs or Tories . " Chief Justice Tisdal has said : The people have a right to meet ushen they like and where they Tike , for the discussion of the Charier . ' Mr . Justice Ebssise ha 3 further said ; ** The people of this Empire have a right to meet whenever they please te promote the People ' s Charter , by fair discussion and LEGAL MEANS . " Sir F . ; PollocK ' Attorney-General , has pronounced the following opinion : "I do not soy that Chartism is unlawful ; on the contrary , J beg you to dismiss from your minds all idea of Chartism being unlawful , ; WHEN
THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT THE CHARTER MVST BECOME THE LAW GF THE LAND . " 3 Ir . Judge Patxisos , in passing sentence upon Cooper and Richards , said : " / wish to correct an erroneous impression which appears to have been made npon ihe mind of one of the defendants , that he has been convicted of being a Chartist . It is no such thing . He has a right to be a Chartist . BUT HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW IN
HIS ADVOCACY OF CHARTISM . " Now from these several opinions , given by a majority of the Judges , and all within the last six months , it may be safely inferred that to public opinion , and not to diminished hatred of the principles of Chartism , is to be attributed even so much of judicial toleration , The growth of opinion since 1839 , when M to be a Chartist was to be a traitor , " may be gathered from this altered tone !
Having the assuranoe of the Atxovlsky-Gsserxl that" when ihe people demakd the Charler ^ it MUST become the law of the land , " would not its advocates be culpable and highly censurable , were they to fail in so fencing those principles , the legality of which is admitted , as to defy the intrusion of the law 1—the vengeance of the Executive 1—the whim of the Judge J—or the caprice of the Jury 1 Elsewhere , in our number of to-day , will b * found an elaborate disquisition upon the question of questions —the Organization of the publio mind : and , while
we invite the moBt searching inquiry into ; its principles and details , we trust that those who are prepared to oppose it , trill be also prepared with a substittue £ o . uAixr cawtulatsd to achieve the general object . Relying , as we ever have done , : upon the vigilance of the popular mind , we would invite it to a close perusal of , and serious deliberation upon * The Plah to which we refer : while we woald further snggesi the propriety of meeting any objections in detail , in a written foim , to be transmitted to the Chairman of the delegate meeting . '
All the petty machinations of those who have hitherto lived upon the dissension in our ranks have failed ? There has been an under-ground ; struggle to circumvent all attempts at Organisation . 1 Bnt the voice o * ibe faithful has silenced the growling of the disaffected . In the combination of the improved mind of the working classes , the " trafficking politieiaa" sees the destruction of ** his trade f and trenbles at the exposure to which its continuance would subject him .
To be free , we most be nnited . To be united , we must be of one mind . To be of one mind , « e most thoroughly understand each other . And ! to anderstand csch other , we must be completely Organized . ** Out strength is in our Union ; our power in our ¦ voice : and our success in our perseverance . "

necessaries of life ! Remember that she has left four motherless children te be provided for . Gall to mind these things ; and a "mite " to Buccour the distressed will rarely be found and forthcoming . Happy are we to ray , that some towns have nobly done their duty in this cmb of the victims . We lately published an account which redounded much to the honour of the London men . We now present a record of some of ; tbe " country doings " : doings which deserve to be recorded -. — Dear Bib ,, —For some time past , I have observed , with much pain , your-columns occupied -with complaints by , and on behalf of , the political victims . Now , Sir , it does appear to me that gross and unfeeling neglect has been manifested by the various towns and districts ¦ where those victims reside , and also where tbe men themselves are suffering their terms of imprisonment
Nottingham has had its share of difficulties to encounter ; but it gives me much pleasure iu being able to eat that tbe Chartaats ; of tbe district generally have nobly performed their duty upon this occasion , —they having sent about £ 10 to the Ganeral Defence and Victim Fund , -without receiving auy assistance in return from sueh Fund , although twenty-nine victims were made here , twenty-six of whom -were convicted and served various terms of imprisonment in Ssutbwell House of Correction , whose defence , and the support which their families received , cost tbe sum of £ 106 . Independent of this outlay , we have rendered assistance to tbe wife of the martyr'd Ellis , and the sick wife of the indomitable Cooper ; also to Dr . M'Douall , and Mr . Leach , of Hyde ; and , thongh last , not least , we have had to find means : to fight our enemies at four contested elections in tbe snort space of two years .
If , Sir , tbe country generally bad done their duty as tbey ought to have done , I am cartain that sufficient foods would hare been at tbe disposal of our worthy Treasurer to b * ve relieved every one who had been so unfortunate &s to ; have fallen into the " League Trap " of August last Hoping that my brethren will endeavour , to tbe best of their abilities , to wipe away the foul stigma from their characters , and bo longer see the wives and families of their persecuted friends suffer , and also learn a lesson from the past , I Temain , dear Sir , yours respectf ally , : James Sweet , Secretary te the Nottingham Political : Victim Fund .
The Brighton Chartists desire us to notice that any locality wishing to correspond with them are requested to address to Mr . Ellis , 86 , Edward-atreet , Brighton , Sussex . They state farther that tbey shall be glad to correspond witb any other locality , to urge one another to be " up asd doing . " Now , simple and praise-worthy as the act here invited is , yet the doing of it , without Organization ; tr with an © rganijs-ition NOT BNKOLLED ; would subject both parties , the sender and receiver of the letter , to Imprisonment for three months ; or to transportation for seven years J if : the " authorities '" choose to wreak tbe " vengeance of tbe law" on them 1 Are not these heavy risks to run ? Is there any sense in running those - risks , when we can so easily avoid
it ? Agree to some Buch Plan of Organizitioa as we this day publish ; get it enrolled under the Acts of Parliament now in existence ou the Statute-book ; and these risks are at an end . Thb Makchaster Victim Fund Committee . — We have rocoived the fallowing from the Manchester Committee . We had been given to understand , by Mr . O'Connor , that tbe matter had been arranged . We understood' him to say that he hod seen Bome of the Manchester Committee , or the Manchester Council , and had suggested to them that the best course to be pnrsoed to get rid of tbe difficulty that had presented itself , was for the Committee to examine all cases referred to them ; and then issue
their order for iMr . Cleave , as Treasurer , to honour . And this suggestion , we understood Mr . O'Connor to say , tbe Manchester friends had acceded to , as tbe best course to satisfy all concerned . In reference to the following appeal we would say , that tbe Manchester Committee should disburse tbe sums now in their bands of themselves ; examine into the other cases needing relief ; and then say to Mr . Cleave what sum they think each particular case entitled to . We would farther suggest th&t tbe Committee act on this plan immediately : for " while the grass grows Ihe horse starves . " It will not do to be eternally coquetting about the disbursement of & few pounds . . Here is tbe address : —
Address ttf the National Victim Fund Committee , to the Charlisla of Great Britain Brother Chartists , —It is with great regret that we feel ourselves bound to i&sue Ibis brief address calling npon you to give unreservedly your opinions as to the line of conduct you would wish us to pursue . You are aware that repeated calls were made upon the Chartists of thia locality to appoint a committee as tbe almoners of your bounty ; and after a great deal of deliberation they complied with what appeared to be the national wish . We were appointed pro forma by the Council ; and duly confirmed by tbe members at a special meeting , called expressly for the consideration of this important ; subject ; hut although we have met several times in onr official capacity ; and though
applications of & most pressing nature have been made , we find ourselves utterly powerless . We need not inform yon that Mr . Cleave has signified his intention of disbnrsing the monies in his possession , till the forthcoming Conference ; and we find he has regular communication vfiib ¦ parties who are . or have been , incarcerated in Karkdale Gaol . Now as Mr . Cleave states that he hopes to be perfectly cogniaint of the circnniBtances of each applicant bo es to be enabled to lay them btfore the : country , we consider it would be presumptuous in ns to proceed to an investigation of the cases , prTrecommendation , of tbe applicants alluded to by Mr . Cleave * especially as not a line has been sent to us from nny of them . There is another feature in this unpleasant business which we wish to have satisfactorily arranged , before we proceed to the
disbursement of monies sent to us : and in erder that all of you may understand what we mean , we will ask two plain questions : 1 st " Are we ja&tifted in -withholding monies from Mr . Cleave sent for our appropriation ? " 2 nd . " Shall we transmit them to him , or proceed at once to the relief of the cases we have been investigating ?* iOnr Carlisle brethren will see theae questions have a reference to them in particular ) . Decide either way , and we shall be satisfied . We disclaim any desire to deprive Mr . Cleave of the pleasure he experiences in tbe alleviation of misery engendered by tyranny . Nor are we ambitious to remain in office ; but will ; -willingly reBign upon the first intimation that it is the -wish of the country we should do so . Let us then know your opinions as Bpeedily sb possible .
In conclusion , we will just advert to Mr . Cleave's remarks upon " the Committee of the Carpenters' Hall Locality having appointed a Victim Fund Committee from among themselves . " To this we answer that tbe appointment was made to meet the exigencies of the case . Thoy never iad it in contemplation to elect a Committee without consulting the members ; and as the members ratified the appointment , Mr . Cleave may sow add the Manchester members to bis list of those ¦ who voted for the appointment . We wish alao to set him right relative te his statement that the Council met on the Sunday night . They did no such thing . The business was discussed on the regular meeting night ; and arrangements made to procure the sanction of the members on the following Sunday . We remain , brother Chartists , till you have decided to the contrary , the members of tbe National Vittim Fnnd Committee . ;

; Feargus O'Connor . We are happy that the affair has taken this turn . It has been a most annoying one to us . It placed us in a wrong position with one with whom we have been intimately connected for a great number of years . Still that connection could not make ns forget what W dt £ t 0 oth ? - Havingl been inBtrumentiil in calling Into existence a body oilmen fora just andneble pnrpose ; and having done this without the slightest intention to do any man even the semblance ot wrong ; we could not desert them , because a friend bad «< ppdsed that slight to him was intended by the step . Now , however , the matter is arranged . Both parties wilt understand each other ; and both go unitedly to Work . I
Of course ; the commltttee will disburse the fund * tbey have in hand . It would be folly to send to London , to have' to come back again . Defence Fund , —Mr . O'Connor bega to acknowledge the suta of , £ 2 7 s ., received from that excellent and indefatigable gentleman , Mr . Lonsdale , of Manchester , who , by hhi own exertions , has largely contributed to every fund for general , local , and individual purposea connected with Chartists and Chartism . Mb- J- S « aw , of the Tower Hamlets , would wish to bear from Mr . Lowrie , late of French Park . Mr . Peplow . —Mr . O'Connor begs to acknowledge the letter of Walter Thorn relative to the charges recentlyjaade against Mr . Peplow . In every word of Mr . Thorn ' s letter Mr . O'Connor entirely agrees ; and is happy that his conduct in the affair has entitled him to the thanks of Mr . Thorn . The course pursued by Mr . O'Connor was in strict accordance with a resolution proposed by him , and seconded by Mr .
O'Brien , and carried unanimously , in tbe Convention of 1842 . The object of Mr . O'Connor iu proposing that resolution was , to put a atop to the cowardly and brutal practice of Writing private letters for the purpose of creating prejudice against individuals whom the slanderer hoped , by such means , to destroy : and if every person who receives such communications was to adopt the same course that Mr . O'Connor has taken with respect to Peplow , it would go far to check the evil , to expose the assassin , and to protect ; the victim . Mr , O ' Connor begs to assuro Mr . Thorn ; that all attempts to undermine Mr . Peplow in hia estimation will fail , as be believes him to be an honest [ man and sincere Chartist : and ho further begs to state , that all letters addressed to him , containing ! charges against individuals , shall be forthwith transmitted to the party accused . It should be understood that Mr . Peplow declines receiving anything for his iservices .
Plans fob Organization . —Mr . K . T . Morrison , of Nottingham , will see that it would be useless to give hfa outline at the present HU object is fully cariredoutin the plan given in this day ' sSfar ; not an outline ! but in full . Points of detail can be best Attended to at the Conference . We were much pleased to see that he has aimed to compass exactly the same ends as ourselves . It is , to us , another evidence that the time ; has come when we can take a step in advance ; for hind ia much more
forward than it was onJy twelve months ago : and we must keep np to it Mr . Morrison ' s reports were also received ; but when they came to band , a notice furnished by another friend was in type .

JohN Addison . —Certainly : he can have either the National Petition Plate , or any of the large Plates or Portraits , by sending for them , either direct , or through his agent .

The Du&hah Colliers' Delegate Meeting . — Their report was ranch too late lost week , as was then noticed . This week tbe request f <* r its insertion only reached us again on Thursday morning .
The Election of Delegates to Conference — Again we repeat that all meetings for the election of delegates to Conference : must be public ones ; publicly announced ; and the election must be free and public . It must be stated too , what the object of the Conference is ; and the day and place of its meeting . Credentials , signed by the Chairman of each meeting , setting forth the election of each delegate to ' ? a Conference of Delegates , to be holden jat Birmingham , on the 5 th of September , 1843 , to consider npon and devise A Plan for the Organization of a Society to enforce npon public attention the principles of the People ' s Charter , aud to devise means for thtlr practical application , *' should be given to each delegate , to entitle him to take his seat .
There seems to have been some misunderstanding in North Lancashire respecting the delegate to represent them . ; It appears that Burnley and Padiham would not have been represented by the gentleman fixed on : for his opinions , on a vital point , were diametrically opposed to theirs . They bave , therefore , resolved on sending ' a delegate for themselves 5 while tbe first delegate Will represent the other localities in the district . In this matter we think tbe Burnley men have acted properly . They have a right to be represented 1 ! and if that cannot be done by general representation , special representation can alone get over the difficulty . We are glad to see tbe resolution of the friends relative to this matter . It shows that they are too wise to make it a ground of quarrel . The
bare fact of objecting to the ; fitness of parties for office is too often sought to be turned into " personal attacks' /; and many a man has been suffered to step into office unopposed , from a fear existing that , if grounds of objection were stated , It would be construed into " an , attack upon ; his private character " . This nonsense we must have done witb . A man either is fit , or be is not Those Who elect are the only judges . Before hfs election his merits and jilness ought to ; be canvassed over . Opinion should not be fettered' ! ; but be freely given : and tbe decision , when come to , generally abided by . It shows a weak mind , or is evidence of bad intention , wben any man objects to have his qualifications questioned , or his fitness disputed .
Another peculiarity connected with this choice of a delegate . f ° North Lancashire deserves a passing notice . ' Some one there , it seems , thought of Mr . D . Ross ; and mentioned him as one likely to serve ihem . It was stated , in answer , that Mr . Ross was fixed upon by some place in Yorkshire ; and , there / ore , he was fore-gone by the North Lancashire men , they cot wishing to have one man representing two places . It now turns out that the story about Mr . Ross being "to be elected for some place in Yorkshire , " was unfounded ; The North Lancashire Distrint Secretary writes us : ^— " I have Mr . Rass ' s authority
to state that be never anticipated being sent from Yorkshire nor did he author za any person by word or letter to make such statement" Now this ia unfortunate . Fi is not acting fairly to Mr . Rosa . That statement , and its publication in the report of tbe doirigs of tbe North Lancashire Dalegates , has moat probably prevented Mr . Ross from being fixed upon , by some locality or other , for a representative . Thus he has buen placed in ft false position . Now , however ^ the Cbartist body will know that Mr . Ross is at liberty ; and we have no doubt will be as much inclined , ' as he ia well able , to serve them , should they deem his services of value to them .
Place of ( Meeting for Conference . —The friends in Birmingham ought at their very first meeting either on Sunday or Monday next , to appoint some three active busineBB-men , as a Committee , to arrange for the meeting of Conference . There will need a place of muting . This should be secured beforehand . What is the Aston-itreet Room ? Is it convenient ? Is it adapted ? Then there is the Hall-of-Science , another Chartist meeting place . Some place or other ought to ba secured . And the committee ought also to prepare a list of Udgings ; clean and cheap lodgings , where the representatives of ihe poor may live at as little coat as may be compatible with comfort . Let the Birmingham friends Bee to toe appointment of such Committee . Of coarse tbey wili communicate their arrangements through next Star .
Communications FOB CONFERENCE . —All communications for Conference should lie addrt-ssed to the " Chairman of Conference of Delegates , care of Mr ? . ( J . While , ys , BioonjHgruve-stieet , Birmingham . "

Mb . Linion and the Confebence . —Glad are we to perceive that the East and North Riding Chartists have , nominated Mr . Linton as their delegate to Conference . We sincerely hope they will send him . This is tbe first time we have ventured or desired to Interfere in any election : but they must permit us to turn canvassers for ence : and solicit " the favour of their vote and interest . " Mr . Linton's experimental and praotical knowledge will be invaluable on the discussion of the Land question , which will most assuredly come upon the carpet ; and however it may be decided , it will be of importance to adduce all the information possible to guide to such decision . Information of the most valuable kind can Mr .
Linton render : therefore bis presence at the Conference is most desirable . He is , besides , aa good and as hearty a Cbartist as breathes . We trust , therefore , that the Chartists of tbe North and East Ridings of Yoik will f » nd him . Iu the letter which we have given from jMr . Linton in anothes place , he also says ;— " The Land must be combined with the agitation for the Charter . I am convinced it will , if properly carried out , very soon give every man his political rights . Probably I may attend the proposed Conference ] at Birmingham . If I cannqt make It convenient to do so , I will endeavour to state my views to you on the subject in a letter . This will be a mighty movement , if arranged with judgment ; and I sincerely hope we shall have no more false steps—no jmore imprisonments—ho more transportations . May Qod protect yon in the righteous cause you are ei gaged in . " Mr . Linton must " make it convenient to attend "; and tbe Chartists of tbe North and East Yorkshire must send him .
Mr . Hill ' s Scheme of Organization . —When the long article on Organization which appears in another part of this sheet was * made up for press , we received from Mr . Hill his promised plan for organizing the public mind . As we anticipated , in the main we agree . Indeed the body and s ' eeves of the garment are identical . We have both been at tbe same well j both drunk from the ] same spring . We have both tried to compass the same ends ; and we have both gone to work in tho same manner . The only difference between the two piano is , that in some of the
detailed duties of the ] several divisions of toe Grand Army , Mr . Hill is more precise and more defined even than we ara Some of his rules are amendments of our own . Enough is however given in the article before-mentioned to jshow the general scope and beaiins of , the question -. at the Conference Mr . HI LL'S details can be considered along with out plan . Indeed we shall contrive , before its assembling , to weave those of them we deem improvements into tbe plan , so that it may be presented to Conference as perfect as it can be made by ourselves and Mr . Hill .
Way to Welcome a Victim . —All honour to the Ddwsbury " lads" ! They have set a praiseworthy example . They have not contented themselves with shouts , and clapping of hands , and blowing of horns ' , and beating of drums , as a welcome to their lately liberated victim : but they have let their friendship and respect manifest ! itself in deeds of reality that will be found another day . They have clothed their victim with their good opinion ! Now , shew , and noise , and clapping of husds , and meeting by
thousands , are all good in their way . In such a case as that which j lately called them forth at Dewsbury , they are an expression of good-will and respect to worth and integrity ? and calculated to have a good impression upon the public mind . But when they are followed by deeds of plain palpable good , those deeds give a force , and being , aud value to that expression that make it lasting and endurable . The following account of monies received and expended will show in what manner the good opinion of the Dawsbury " lads" has been substantially

Way to do Work . —Borough Court , Moaovt , August 21 . —Before Jonathan Taornhill and Wta . Nelatrop , Esqrs . —Case of Wages . —Thomas Stuart , manufacturer , appeared , by proxy , to shew cause why he refused to pay the Fum of 4 a . 6 d . wages alleged to be due by him , to Edward Shelraeriine , powerloom-weaver . It appeared , from tho statement of the complainant , that the whole cf the weavers in the employ of Stuart , with tho < xcsption of a few "black ahecp , " had given uotice ; o leave their work , in consequence of hiapayiDK considerably under the "town ' s price . ' * Thiaso enra ^ d iho lord of smoke , that all ( but bitinjj hia finger nails off ) , was done to shew how much hi 8 mi ^ btutess was exasperated at the '' b—y thieves , ' who had
dared to say they would no longer enrich his c ^ ffijrs at the expence of their hungry children and famish * irig wives . On Wednesday last , the man & £ cu ' . ton had an opportunity of spitting his venom on Shelmerdine , whom he suspected of being o ' no of the rebel chiefs . On Wednesday , then , it appeared , the complainant took four " cuts" into the warehouse to be examined . Stuart was preitm ; and on looking over the work , found fault wi h it for being too heavy , and remarked " such wark ad ihafc would not do . " This called forth a r ? ply fr- ^ -u complainant , to which Stuart demurred . An a ' lercatiou ensued , which ended in the master teKiu" the complainant M he should vreave there no more , after he had famished the pieces which wer < then .
in his looms . " Accordingly on Thursday , as soon as the " cuts" were finished , the overlooker , a' tho instigation of the master , seized the shuttle and would not allow him to weave any more , notwithstanding that there were printed rules hung np through the mill , stating that no weaver could leave work without giving and having one week ' s notice , ex ^ pt ia cases of mutual consent ; and as ShelmerdineV week would not expire until the following ( Frida }) evening , he determined to claim the wa ^ es for the remainder of Thursday and Friday , as the separation was not mutual . Three witnesses were called on tha part of Stuart , who merely proved that a dispute had
taken place . One of them , the son of Stuirf , swore to tho complainant calling his father " a liar . ' * Another of the witnesses , M * Mahon , anoverl < oker t proved that the complainant was a good wovkm&n , arid had never before been found fault with . The Magistrates decided , that though the aulhig ot Stuart " a liar" was very wrong , nevertheless that did not justify him in fending the man about his business , without paying him his full wa ^ s . The decision was , that "he must pay the sum e ! ai ; ned . " Ttois gave universal satisfaction . It w » s no more than was expected from Mr . flfelstrop , who is justly esteemed as an impartial Magistrate .
BRADFORD . —On Sunday afternoon , a camp meeting was holden at Idie , near Bradford . Mr . Joseph Alderson addressed the meeting at rw :.-iderable length on the present state of the country , and the position of tho Church of England j and strongly exhorted bis hearers to take care and not be entrapped again as they were last year . Mr . A Iderson . said his term of bond to keep the peace had just expired . Ho was charged with attending a «; eeting on the 14 th of August , 1842 , at Bradford Mo-ji- ; and although he produced most respectable witnesses that he was several miles from the meeting during the whole of that day , yet he was bound to keep the peace for twelve months , after spending thrt-e days in a dungeon . The next camp meeting was announced to be holden at Aoperley Bridge .

On Thursday , the second Session of the Whigmade Parliament for Tory purposes , was put an end to . [ Only the Session , reader ! It is riot tho Parliament that is put an end to . God forbid ! What ever would become of us , were euch an event as thai to happen ?] The first Session was distinguished for the passing of The Tariff and the Income Blister I Tbe present has passed the Irish Arms * Bill . Having done that , our female head ( " would you ffive the vole to women 1 " J despatched the legislators home , with the following prattle . The only point in it , is the " Royal prmouiicaaent" agaifst Repeal . " A FIRM DETERMINATION TO MAINTAIN INVIOLATE THAT great bosd of coNNECtiON "— -the Union . Well 1 our paper of thiB day contains O'Connel \* s PLA . N OF REPEAL . He says , " he will lave x * .. " Victoria says "he shan't . " Which of them speaks truth ! We shall see ! Here is the " pronouncement " : —
My Lords and Gentlemen , The state of public business enables me to chsd thia protracted session , and to release you from further attendance of your Parliamentary dunes . I thank you for the measures you " have adopted for enabling me to pive effect to the several treaties wnich l have concluded with Foreign Power ? . I have given my cordiaJassent to the Bill , which you presented to me for increasing the means of spiritual instruction in populous parishes , by making a portion of the revenues of the Church available for
tbe endowment of additional ministers . . I confidently trust that the vise and benevolent intentions of the Legislature will be aided by the zsal and liberality of my subjects , and that better provision will thus be made for public worship and for pastoral superintendendence in many districts of the country . I view with satisfaction the passing of the Act for removing doubts respecting the jurisdiction of the Church of Scotland in the admission of Ministers , and for securing to the people aud lo the Courts of the Church the full exercise of their respective rights .
. It is my earnest hope that this measure will tend to restore religious peace in Scotland , and to avert the dangers which have threatened a sacred institution of the utmost importance to the happiness and welfare of that part of my dominions . I continue to receive from all foreign powers assurances of their friendly disposition , and of their earnest desire for the maintenance of peace . Gentlemen of the House of Commons , / thank you for the readiness and libergbfy with which you have voted the supplies for the current year . It will be my constant object to combine a strict regard to economy with the consideration which is due to the exigencies of the public service . My Lords and Gentlemen ,
In eome districts of Wales the public peace has been interrupted by lawless combinations : > ad disturbances unconnected with political causes . I have adopted the measures which I deemed best calculated for the repression of outrage , and for tho detection and punishment of the offenders . . 1 have at the same time directed an inquiry to be made into the circumstances which havo led to insubordination and violence in a part of the country usually distinguished for good order and willing obedience to the law . I have observed with the deepest concern the persevering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and disaffection among my subjects in Ireland , arid to excite them to demand a repeal of th-: Legislative Union .
It has been and ever will be my earnest desire to administer the Government of that country in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality , and to cooperate with Parliament in effecting such amendments in the existing Iawsa 3 may toad to improve the social condition and to develope the natural resources of Ireland . From a deep conviction that the Legislative Union is not less essential to the attainment of the ^ e objects than to the strength and stability of the empire , it is my firm determination , with your support , and under the blessing of Divine Providence to maintain inviolate that great bond of connection betweea the two countries .
I have forborne from requiring any additional powers for the counteraction of designs hostile to tho concord and welfare of my dominions , as well from my unwillingness to distrust the tfficacyof the ordinary law , as from my reliance on the gof-dsense and patriotism of my people , and on the solemn declarations of Parliament in support of tho Legislative Union . I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who have influence and authority in Ireland , will discourage to the utmost of their power a . Bystem of pernicious agitation which disturbs the industry
and retards the improvement of that cou- ; ry , and excites feelings of mutual distrust and animosity between different classes of my people . The Mouthpiece of the Ministers bavfng thus spoken , tho " sohool broke np" the dame" wanting to go enjoy the sea-breeze , and the mischievous "boys" to return home to their " methere . " For a while then we shall be spared the infliction of legiskitorial " cackle . " And bow then for " the Recess . " We shall now have the sectional agitators at . work , to "¦ le t of the steam . " There will be m&aj dodget tried . We shall have some prime fan . —** Wait a wee : " and we'll drop on thefrr toes .
