CHARTIST MEETING AT TODMORDEN . On Saturday e-rening last Mr . O'Connor addressed the Chartists of Todmorden in the Odd-Fellows '' Hall ; Hobert , Bwofc > * & «« old friend and favourite , ' in the chair . Mr . O'Connor spoke at considerable length , upon the valne of the law , but the difficulty of obtaining it ; of the ii ; justice ol allowing interested masters to haT 6 , the power of administering it , for their own ' purposeB as justices of the peace . He spoke a- great ; length upon the attempt now bein _ ' made by the
Sturge and Crawford party to give 5 treDt ; : h-o the Corn Law League ; and as a proof of the insincerity of the Free Traders he instanced the following fact , which had been communicated to . aim since his arrival at Todmoiden . It was thi .-: —A Mr . Ormrod , who had recently subscribed the sum of £ 100 to the League Fund , had , ¦ without any previous notice , reduced the wages of his spinners seven shillings a-week . When the men went for their wages they each received seven shillings < hort , and were told that they must submit to that reduction .
ilr . 0 Connor asked if the news was true before he ventured" to comment upon it , when the unanimous response from ail parts of the Hall was , " Yes , yes ; it ' s true enough / ' Then , said Mr . O'Connor , this munificient Free Trader will , by this reduction , have robbed his hands of one s-hillicg per day , or £ 18 as per man per am ua ; so that , in o :: e year , the reductions upan iix hands alone , will amount to i'lf-9 10 s . thus restoring ihe xltO girt to the League , and £ J lOi interest for ihe plunder . Now , then , who supplies the League with the sinews of war ? the anti-monopoMet master-, or their monopolising Elave 3 ? They » vj . 'i boast of the iH-O , C 00 League fund , being the free-will offering ol tender-hearied masters : while here 1 show you
that- it is wrung from the very hear ^ ' blood of their viciirsB . Mr . O'Connor then procct .---ed 10 say that he wondered in the midst of such influences and distress , the Etarvin / j people u " : d not tear him to pieces for daring to propose so slow a remedy for such active oppression ; b-. t his protection consisted not more in me affection which the working classes bor-- to hm than in the just hatred which they entertained for those who co unblushiEgly plundered them— ( loud cheer- ) . Mr . O'Gonnor ihen put the meeting iu posst saiou of a most ast « nno * k ) g feet , which had boen communicated to the Rev . Mr . Linwood , of Man .-S-.-ld , relative to an 3 Ct of high treason , charged by a certain person upon the late Executivp . aui in
refutation of which be would be ab . ' e to call their excellent Chairman , and other prisoners who were confined with him in the Hew Bailey , s ^ witnesses . He said thst the horror that this fabricated announcement had produced upon the virtuous min ^ s of the honest Chartists of Mansfield was not to be described . It was no less than a charge brought by a eo ^ r-onspirator against his associ ^ r- " -, ibz . whiie iu the ?> ew Bailey together , some of tho :-a e Executive had concocted and openly discussed the Ceiirrnjiiation to seize the Qaeen ' s person ; and in the * even » of the Ministers refusing to grant the Charter , to murd-. r hrr . He ( Mr . O'Connor ) bad mentioned thi ? diobo ! i-. * al n vela : ion to James L « -ach , who said th ^ t he wj ^ de . r
mined to sift it 10 the bottom . He had m--ii' ! or' -d it to Brook , who was in the 2 < ew Bailey , and to Boyle and others , who were also there ; acd uot a « oul that he had met with had heard a breath of the treason ur » : il i : was breathed into the Ko . Mr . Linwood ' s car , as the reason of the propagator for withdrawing bis confidence from the late Ez ^ cutive . It is fortunate , said Mr . O'Connor , for the two men charged i > -ith this most abominable of all crime- - , thai tht y have at their command the most satisfactory of ali evidence . It is this : that Lrach slept with Brook in one room ; ibat Campbell slppt wkh another co-cenfpirator in another room ; and that the fabricator slept with another conspirator , in auoiher room ; and Leach and Campbell being the only two of the Executive confined in the New Bailey , they alone would be chargeable with the
t-fivnee of openly di .-cussicg this question there ; but other parties who weTe no $ present are alto sought to be nnplicatec . This report , continued Mr . O'Co : incoyias al-o been industriously circulated in private cempaiiies at Newcastle and elsewhere . 1 thick yon will a ^ r < - ^ tvhh me in raying that a more foul , cowardly , a ^ d rascally attempt was nt-v-r yet male by tievi ! to d < ? iruy inr-oerrst and hone ?! working men—( hear , hesr , and loud groaB ?) . 1 have no objection to any man jumping out of the boat when the yawning de ^ -p Threatens those who remain with instant death ; Lui 1 do object to tha man who jumps out endeavouring to take those who ha ? e cluug to the last piaokdyWD in his wild embrace—( loud aud long-continued ebetring ) . For the present , my friend 1 , you w . ll re-t satisfied with my most unqualified contradiction of the whole story > f ° I plcdjro mv = ejf that the whn ] e facts of the case shall be laid
beli re you without n --: ngle comment irom me , as th' ; bare narration will be a « much or n ? ore than your hone = t itelings could endure , svhile to heighten them wonld but ltad to ur-j' ^ t and improper tscitemeiit—( loud cheer ?) . At iho conclusion of his speech Mr . O'Conaor sztd , J am row here . In my absence many liberties are taken with my name , while tbr good-natured and intellectual would lead tfae world to tie belief that great difft-renc-s exist in our ranks . Now , I am here to answer any quesiicn and every question that any man , woBjs . n , or chiid , cbfO 5 « -5 to put to me—( Loud cheers , and " that's the way' ") . Mr .

the advocary of Chartism , aud tho first sentence he wished to utter was that he wad 'en timrs more a Chartist than ever—( Great cheering ) . Let Sir J . Graham take that . He was imprisoned for peduion , and as advocating their rights meant sedition , he would preach it to-ni < , ht , and tho oppressors could send him to pri .-on again if they thought proper He had mixe < l with some aristocratic company in the Queen ' s Prison : he doubted if they had improved him much , for they wer «; grossly ignoruut . There was an ex-M . P . there who could not write his own letter ? . The shopocracy had denounced h'ra : they said what a rou ^ h fello w that Georpe White is .

Many thought be was much opposed to the middle classes , but the worse thing he had to ? ay of them , was ihai they were the most ignorant filimvs alive . It was folly to talk of conciliating the middle classes ; if they ever joined the workies it would be oiiiy to cauie confusion and division . Chartism meaut justice . Some said the Charter went too far , but ii he wanted a watch he wanted all the wheels . What weuld they .-ay if they atked for a watch , and the man proffered two or three wheels only .

has been made in opposing tha domi ' iation and ascendancy of faction j and whila they adhere to principle I am at n loss to discover on what rational grounds we can refuse to co-act . The subjects which Mr . O'Connor has entered upon , and which have uo relation with the pre » en& question , I will not attempt to examine . Ii is enough fur me to say , that before I wrote a eentence of tbe correspondence mentioned , I was communicated witn : Hist , from Mr . Morrison ; ani secondly , from the NottinRJiain locality , through the Secretary , submitting information r > n the proceed'nes of tlio Executive , which I regarded as of a most serious nature , both from my footings as a Chartist , and from my responsibility us a member of that Conference 'vhicii elected tbem .
How for tbia apotogy will satisfy tbo country fnr the sil < hch of tbe Execauve 0 : 1 a question certainly of some importance , I will not venture to eiy ; but I assure Mr . O'Connor , that hud tb ^ Kseeuuv . ; eoini- to a reverse opinion to that v ^ aich I bum ' jly nnturtaint'i on tbis matter , I should havu , / be ttie pre *<; vation 0 / unity , deferred to their judgment : while , hai ; iuy n : < te beon a tended to , the diffure ! : cc-s which havt ; occur .-ud would hava been averted ; and the localities wouH not now have beeu aeeking an opit . ian to guW -j them on this question . ;
I offer no complaint , nor will I make any comment on the manner in which Mr . O'Connor has hcen pleased to treat mo personally in his letter . Ho . exorcists an unconditional privilege of communicating hia opinions , and of the manner those opinions shall be conveyed . Ami therefore when I ma cil ! t ; i upon to liefend my public character , eithur in C > tiferanco or l-efore n public moeting , I ahull be prepared to prove tho purity of my motives , an 4 I trust tue correctness of my opinions . Persecution has not atns-d my art ' uur , nor shall calumny shake my devotion to the principles of libwrty .

I will 1 neither pan < ier to the personal influence of any in- dividual , nor will 1 shrink f ^ om avowing the honest sentiments of my mind in wh- \ t I conceive would benefit our cause , though at tho hazard of a t ! ousand times the influence which , my t' -rvjees may havo gained
