Weft Sir : eo then you have discovered the pracii-Cil value of the roaxim that—* ' He trho-fighta sad m- 8 away , Will liTB to fight Another day ; Bet ha who is in battle slain , Will never live to fight again . " Yonhvre found out that " discretion is the better part of valour . " Your * discretion" may save you personally from- the ignominy of defeat ; tut your w&ni of valour must inflict a deep wound upon your party . In my last letter I drew your attention to
the fact that you , not I , had been the cause of any unseemly bickering npon the general < juestioh of Corn Law agitation ; and I must now draw your attention to the particular fact that it was you that challenged me , and not I that challenged yon , to discussion upon the question . Indeed , so convinced ¦ was 1 that jour proposition w& 3 a bit of bouncing Talonr , intended to meet the tide of iissatisfaction , then strongly setting in againsi yo h that I purposely abstained from clogging my acceptance of your challenge with any conditions to which you cpnld feasibly , decently , or , as I thought , possibly object .
Your challenge had been repeated in several different places , and many of my over zealous unnathinkmg friends began to fed and to express considerable dissatisfaction at my silence upon the sabpei ; until my apparent disregard of your boasting had bo far strengthened you in the belief that I dare not meet you , that you began to add personal insult to your public challenge ; and bad I passed it over unnoticed till now , Feargns O'Connor , 4 he * paid tool of the Tories / ' of which you had " proof " mind , would have been your standing head dish at your several Repeal banquets . I had thrown out the
bait for you ; and nothing but the taunting of your own party conld have induced you even to nibble And had I not " played" yon very dexterously , you would have escaped . However , Sir , I have now hooked you ; and , with the blessing -of God , 111 land you on . the bank . You challenged' me to meet you more than once , twice , or thrice , and you added the following insult to that challenge : —* If they have their own object to accomplish , why don ' t they keep to it ; do their ownvyork , and not meddle with US ? Why ! Because their leaders are paid for ii jmd J know it—Cloud cheers ) . YES , I HATE PROOF— ( renewed applause ) . "
That portion of your speech was received with cheers and renewed ehetrs , while in another part you spoke amid increased cheering as follows : — * No ; I tell the boys who are beguiled by THIS 2 dA ?> , aye , and the men , nnthinking men , with beards on their faces , thai this is a tkice sts-TnuncAiiT got vr , coming -from a quarter that 1 perfectly understand ; an aitfnl subterfuge in order to make the working classes appear to be opposed to u ? , is obbeb that THE MINISTERIAL PAPERS , the organs of the monopolists XAY a >" - ^ ocsc £ is iabgb > jont , * hat the working people are wanting to meet the Anti-Corn-Law League , and that Cobden dare not do it forsooth . " The
challenge to which I refer was repeated several times in the month of December last ; and upon the € thof Jaiinary I published my acceptance of it in the following terms : — " To clog the important poron of the above announcement with any details or echuicaliues which might impede or altogether frustrate the object which I have so long desired to realizs , and in the accomplishment of which you appear eqnxlly anxious as myself , would appear to be » shrinking from the contest npon my part . I THEREFORE , without cmcvuuicvnox , AC ? CEPT YOUR CHALLENGE , vpon your oven eoniitums , which are , that you are to prove , " that the Cobs Law is cjjttst axd ought to » s
in-XEDIATH . T -BEPRU . KP . Such , Sir , were the term 3 in which my answer to your challenge was couched . Finding , however , that we were not likely to meet , I felt disposed to l » y my views upon the subject of Free Trade before you , and for that purpose I addressed a series of letters to you . In the first of those letters I told you that I should throw the personal insult to myself cut of consideration , and confine myself to the general question . In none of those letters can I discover one offensive sentence . Certainly not one irhich would jusufy your mode of refusal in your
letter to Mr . Carter , pmmsbed in last Sa t urday's Siar , That ebulition of your vulgar mind was what I h&d a perfect right to be prepared for . You are a low-lived fellow ; and I had no right to expect those usual civilities "which distinguish the gentleman from the blackguard , from you . The folly and absurdity of your short and self-contradictory letter fciTe been so well pointed ^> ut and forcibly eomttentci on by Mr . Carter , that it would be snperiaous to say another word upon that branch of the nbjeet . But now , Sir , see the pitiful and ignominious position in which you have placed your aiiole parry .
You not only challenge , but you dare me to meet yon . You say that the meeting shall be in Yorkshire , and in -the open air . You undertake to disabuse the beardless " boys" aye and the > tes too" , of the fallacies which I had instilled into their minds . Yeur party cheered your boldness to the echo . Your triumph must have insured the accomplishment of your favourite object , because you admit that the opposition of the tcorfcino classes is iaigb rauo " Jb ti « *• JUimsierial papers" : has bees the osly obstacles is Tora wat . This " large print / 1 you
By , has been my doing . How great must be the Seeessky then of proclaiming a triumph over the prejudices created by "THAT MAIS'" in " xabgb * 2 i 5 r" in every paper in the empire . Well , Sir , 1 was not only prepared to meet you in the locality , proposed by yourself , bnt I extendedyour sphere to Lancashire and Nottinghamshire , in the first insixece , and subsequently at the request of your own eocsutuents I narrowed it to the borough which yon now represent . And yet have I failed to procure from you the fulfillment of that promise several t ines repeated" to your ° bnll- / rog" dupes .
To pursue yon farther in your present humiliating "posiiion would be unbecoming a cocquerorj ihereiore , Sir , 1 bid you farewell for the present , with an admonition that you will be more cautions for the fctnre , and not hold yourself up to the suspicion of Tror own parly , and the scorn of all . You havea fittn ^ h not very creditably , slipped ont of the noose Sat you made for yourself . The next shall he V ay manufacture ; JJH ) top SHalx > 'ot so easilt

DUBLIN . —The Chartists met at the Chartist Hall , No . 4 , Norfh Anne-street , on Sunday last . The meeting was but thinly attended , inconsequence of there having been no announcement of any exoiting topics suoh as had occurred on the two previous Sundays . Nevertheless , it was obvious from the number of persons who attended , and who had been strenuous opponents on all former occasions , that a better feeling was abroad ; that the Chartist lectures , and the Stars are making rapid progress in favour of political truth ; and that truth can be widely extended in Ireland , by the British Chartists taking the trouble of forwarding their Stars after having iead them , to the parties and plaoes named in the lists , with which several places have been supplied .
The effect produced in Ireland by the circulation of the Northern Star is incredible , and would be exceedingly gratifying to those who send their Stars' had they an opportunity of knowing it . At half-pa&t one o ' clook Mr ; Bergia was called to the chair . The chairman said that he was not aware of auy special business being likely to be brought before the meeting ; that after the usual routine business of the Association was transacted , and the objects of the Association read , he would be happy to near anyone whether he approved of the principles or not . He was happy to tell the meeting that a better spirit was amoncat the people thau had heretofore been
their eyes were being opened ; the day was gone by , he hoped for ever , for any one to force the people against each other —( hear , hear ) . ¦ Differences of opinion should not . make men enemies . Tradesmen who differed m ; their rel | giCoS -j » * . n .: " : r" ; uuld work together in the same shop . They ought to bear with e&oh other in political matt ere too . There w » 3 nothing of a Sectarian character in their Association . Its objects were for the benefit of all olasses , and its rules n ere adopted for the sole purpose of aiding the Association in the promotion of its objects . In fact the rules are tiimply the laws laid down to carry the objects . By attending to those wise rules , in all your proceedings there will be no prosecutions for & violation nf class-made laws . These
volumnious class-made laws are all for the suppression of public opinion . The simple rules of this Association are so framed , so well drawn up , that they take the sting out of the penal class made statute laws—( cheere ) . The Chairman after some further excellent observations resumed his seat . Mr . Francis Armstrong , of Castlemeean , in the County Down , was admitted a member , ana Mr . Terence Sheridan , of Castlepollard , in the County Meath . Mr . Dyott read the address of the delegates of the National Convention , held at Manchester , on the 15 th of April , 1844 , to the people of Ireland . Mr . Henry Clark moved that the address be inserted on the minute ? , and printed and published in the newspapers , and in the form of a letter . Mr . Clark
made a most excellent speech , during which he was frequently interrupted by the plaudits of all present . Mr . Keegan seconded the motion in a brief sensible speech . Mr . O'Higgins explained the nature of Chartism , and the blessings which would immediately result from the enactment of the People ' s Charter . He spoke at great length in favour of Peel b project for abolishing banks ot issue . All the working people should support him . They could be no worse . The sooner the banks are broke the better for the Chartists . Low prices and bankruptcy of bankers are two of the greatest Bteps towardu the attainment of the Charter . Cobden and the League say that they want cheap food for the people . Let them shew their sincerity by helping
Sir Robert Peel to break up the banking system , po matter about adding to the income of the jobber and the Jew . He will get the money out of their hands . A short eweet Aot would soon make them part with it . Were he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) in Parliament , he would , at the mk of being branded as a Tory , assist Sir Robert to break the banks . The issue of one-pound notes should be immediately suppressed in Ireland ; and three years instead of ten given to all issuers of notes to wind up and adopt some honest occupation- The maker of a bank note of any amount should be subject to the same penalties as the maker of a shilling or half-a-crown . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Wm . Kelly said , that it appeared to him plain enough that they were all enemies of
the Liberator , ( O'Connell , ) the father of his country , the glorious ai ; d immortal regenerator of the world Yes , he would say they were all Orange men , or why this continual abuse of their great father the Liberator 1 Could not any man see that all this eloquence against banking was cutting at the Liberator , because he was in favour of one pound notes and banking . Has he not told you , and who doubts the chosen man of God but an enemy to bis God and his country , that one pound notes keeps up the price of corn and farming produce ; and how in all tne world could the farmer pay his rack-rent nnlesB he got a good price tor his produce . Oh fellow-countrymen , ye are going astray ; como into the one fold ; the groat and mighty Liberator will lead yon all to freedom and to happiness . Has he not done every thing for you \ And won't you be guided by the advice of your clergy ? Did not the holy , pious , and eloquent Dr . Miiey of the
Metropolitan tell us from the pulpit , when the Liberator ( O'Connell ) was Lord Mayor , that he was like a god upon earth ; and is n't he so ! Why then do you go against your god and your country f Would Mr . Miley Bay it , unless it was sol I have his sermon in my pocket . ; It was published in the Freeman ' s Journal . Give up your wicked notions about Chartism and Paganism , and follow : the Liberator . I wish you all well , bat I am sorry for you , and would not trust you . There must be some secret at the bottom , 6 t else you would join the man chosen by the great God himself to lead you all to happiness . Mr . Kelly sat down suddenly at the conclusion of his speech . Mr . Kelly's speech was allowed to peus without a single observation . The consternation it prodaced amongst bin friends will have a good effect . Mr . Cooke , of Wexford , was called to the chair , and the usual thanks having been given to the Chairman , the meeting separated .
LEICESTER . —On Sunday morning Messrs . Bftirstow and White addressed a numerous meeting in the pasture ; and in the evenfng llr . Bairstow delivered a lecture on the " Life and Character of Lord Abinger , " to a most immense and attentive meeting ; after which a portion of the meeting adjourned to the Association in Cburchgate , which was addressed by Mr . George White in bis usual hard-hitting style . An excellent feeling pervaded the meeting .

Haines , a working man , was called to the chair , and in due form briefly stated the objects of the meeting , and called on Mr . C . Doyle to more the first resolution , which be did in a most excellent speech , and exposed the nature of Lord Eliot ' s Irish Registration Bill in a very able manner , eliciting the loud . , and unanimous plaudits of the assembly . Mr . O'Connor now rose , very loudly applauded , an d said , it is now nine nears since I established the first Radical society in London . The middle classes then came to laugh ; they now come to hear how we can benefit all parties . It was an old maxim that labour was tbe source of all wealth ; but if the source
was impure , what could be expected , or what benefit result ? Mr . O'C . spoke of the composition of the present House of Commons , showed that the Whigs and Tories had emptied the till of the shopkeeper , and that they were now ready to try a bit ! of Chartism—( loud cheers );—exhibited the true bearing of the Income Tax ; illustrated most graphicly the effect of Lord Eliot ' s Irish Registration Bill on English interests , and asked , was it not an English question ? a Scotch question ? a universal question ?—( Cheers . ) He then gave an artist-like sketch | of all parties in succession , amid the loud cheers and roars of laughter of the meeting . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the recent discussion on the Faotory Bill , and paid , had the deoiaion rested with him be would have said , live the useful children and perish the Tory factioa—( great cheering ) . A
dissolution would , by the blessing of God , soon take place , and then the strong government would find the strength of 1840 become weakness in 1844 . Mr . O'Connor resumed his seat amid great applause . The chairman then put the resolution and petition to tbe meeting , which was carried j unanimously . Mr . Clark in a very able a&d humourous speech , which elicited continual bursts of laughter and applause , moved the adoption of a petition against tho Enclosure Bill . The petition was ably seconded by Mr . Gardner in a lucid speech , and carried unanimously . Mr . M'Grath , in a speech ] of great eloquence and power , moved a resolution and petition in favour of the People ' s Charter , and sat down amidst immense applause . Mr .

MR . GISBORKE . To the Electors and Non Electors of Nottingham . My Fbiend 3 , —The discreet manner in which yon discharged your duties , with rtfeience to Mr . Gisborne ' s former votes upon Lord Ashley's motion , convinces me that yoa are alive to the importance of that great subject . Your forbearance was great . You very properly merely remonstrated with the delinquent upon his first act of insubordination , and as properly reserved yonr juogment until the tffect of that remonstranoeshoulo beseen in his subsequent vote . You will have learned that not only has he disregarded your appeal , and , as I consider , violated his pledge given on the hustings ; that he has further added insult to his misconduct by voting in opposition to the declared wishes of his constituents , when the majority was bo large as to preclude even the necessity of his voting at &il . This fact , from the appearance , the temper , and the expressed determination of the House , must have been evident to him . Moreover , a zealous friend of the measure waited npon him and remonstrated with lnm ; and to that friend he stated that although compelled to leave town upon urgent busi ne ss , that yet he would not < io so unless he could pair elf against Lord Ashley's Bill . It would be an insult to common sense to add another word , or even to hint at what now becomes the duty of the electors and non-electors of Nottingham . Your faithful Friend , Feargcs O'Connor . tm

TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Friends , —The long period of my exile from amongst you has at length drawn to a close , and my liberty has not as yet been assailed by the Govextment . " Time alone can shew whether I shall have to suffer further at their hands . I have in the mean time to thank , most gratefully , those working men wbo have , dnringmy absence , subscribed for the support of myself and family , an amount which averaged about 20 s . per week . I have likewise been indebted to many private friends-for their assistance and support , who&e names are too numerous to msm in this letter ; but 1 cannot omit mentioning my publio and private obligations to Mr . O'Connor , Mr . John Cleave , and Mr . Nathaniel Morliug . In aooprdancB with my resolution formerly announced , I shall commence a tour of lectures , in London , Leeds , Manchester , and most probably Birmingham , Nottingham , and Sheffield . 1 shall deliver three lectures , either successively or at Bhort intervals ; the first lecture will be on the national , Eocia ] , moral , and physical results of a monopoly of the soil . The seeeud on the like results springing from the triple monopolies of Machinery , Labour , axd Capital . The third , on tbe great remedy of remediss-r-the People's Charter , wherein I shall examine &n 4 defend its principles , explain Ub probable results , and point out , what I conceive to be , the most speedy and effectual means of making it the law of Great Britain .
I shall pursue the above course , because I conceive it to be a duty to the cause ; because I think that thereby I can best serve those whom I have always served , and ever will serve—the poor and the oppressed—and because it will be the best answer 3 can give to those who have publicly and privately aspersed and wronged me . If I can , in any other manner , serve the working classes ( always excepting the holding of any office , great or small , or taking part in the direction of the movement , further than on the public platform , ) I shall be , as I always have be ^ n , a ready and active servant in their cause , and they have only to command what services I can render . I begin with London , and I shall proceed to Manchester through Northampton , . Nottingham , etc ., as announced in me Star . By reason alone , and taking up my position en the jostica of our cause , I shall be ready to meet any man , whether aristocrat , capitalist , corn law repealer , or middle-class roan . I invite them all to attend , and I hope the Committees will so arrasge it thai the charge of admission may be moderate . 1 adhere to my former intention of retiring to my professional labours ; And in mentioning that , I think it may afford a good proof to all cay enemies , that ambition of doing good to my fellow-men was my sole impulse , and not that of personal advancement , popularity , or gain . An immense number of invitations are now in the hands of Mr . Leach , who states that it is impossible to forward them to me ; therefore I must wait until I see them before I can reply to my correspondents . If they are so numerous as stated , I shall not attempt any other medium of reply than the columuB of the Star . 1 believe I have now mentioned all that is necessary , and shall leave the remainder of my remarks until I have an opportunity of addressing the people . They will find me the same—consistent in principle , anzions to advance the cause , and the decided enemy of all personal quarrels , abuse , cabals , and divisions- 1 know of nothing , save my public duty , and that I shall perform to the letter . Ever most faithfully yonrs , P . M . M'Doiull .
