0 >~ THE REMOTAL . OF THE " STAR" TO LQ 2 sD 0 X He . Iditob , — = ABow me to add mj feeble cote to lie merry chorus of popular Toiees that welcome Labour ' s organ to the metropolis . As a sample unit of fasb Jeteogeneons mass of which our motley poptrjjgon is composed , my communicationswni appear bnt S 3 one man ' s ojanlon . When we consider that gja ^ es are influenced and led "b y individual
coneeppoos , I desire no more prominency than the -ralne of bit suggestions may achieTe ; -while , if 1 can , tarn error into the course of truth , and aid knowledge in the accomplishment of its greatest object— -the redemption of the -working classes from the slavery to Trfcich ignorance , disunion , and neglect has consigned jkon—I shall , stimulated hj a proper Tanity and Jaudable ambition , struggle for that place in fame's record to lrhich hit services mav entitle it .
The fest step towards reclamation is repentance jerpast offences ; and the greatest protection that can he thrown Tound a public man is to be able to discriminate between his friends and his foes . You have ftimmeneed the wort of reclamation well , by closing the columns of an organ which should create and represent the harmony and union of its supporters against selfish complaint and intfirested denunciation ; while , by its removal to the Capital , you manifest a manlv disposition of submitting your actions to a more vigilant popular controu ) . To enable you to distinguish between your friends an * l your foes , > liall be the object of this , mv first communication .
IMrrinsr in all societies , 1 have frequent opportunities of learning the sentiments of each . The aristocracy believe that the yortlt ^ m Si ^ r promulgate 5 edirion , " and aims at plunder thronirb anarchy ; vrhUe jjiey affert to beJieTe that bm for it < influence f > v < r jit > working classes they would be Tret able to resist thiir great enemy—the L ^ sne—tfjixjoot dfTrimcni to their own interests . The middle classes deny the
car-ability of the people to achieve any great politicaJ xhassre by their own strength , and therefore < h-2 » tmee the yorth > m Star as a false light—as the ierald of hopes and anticipations that cannot be jealised : while the dependency of a largv portion of -he workinjr classes upon the aristocracy and the jniudle classes induces , ihe leaders r > f those sections to cater for an easy livelihood by subscribing to the docmas and carrrini : oni the j > 3 an > > A' their respective
masters . In truth , it is curious to see how both the aristocracy and middle das . ^ es are , after all , compelled to seek supporters for their own crotchets from the ranks of the working classes . And this I take to be the reatest proof that it is nor the power of either , or of both ouitedlv . within their own ranks—but the
• pcarer whkh they derive from the working class , that constitutes their strength . Hence we may come to ihe legrtimiiie conclusion That the srrenjrth of the srisocracy and the middle class is a coii ^ quence , not of the sonndness of their plans , or belief in their Laiecrity , but of the effect of their money upon the easy consciences of the working-class propousders of thi-ir sdiemes and theories .
Thos > e two powerful classes are . th ^ u . your >>; rtt-r . criirJiMr . aaJ irret-oncilaWe enemies : and their . ¦ n-Eity is augmented and perpetuated t > y the interest ¦ B- hicB the ¦ working men In Their employ have in iai > - represfntin ^ you , whereby thv tjiIup of their nw » : v ; -rvices hi c > i > i > o > : ng v . « j laay !•*¦ t-iibancvl .

^ e seuuvxT . The real meaning of the assertion : h * it ihe working classes of themselves are not aWe to effect any vrvai Tvlitical change will be found in the determination ef the other classes to resist tact union by which alone the proposed change can be tifected . In illcs-¦ jation of my position , allow me to put the question ¦ &us : —suppose the working classes , a * a body , were thoroughly united , and supj > ose tJie body to hare Tirxue enouab to resist the soft persuasions of the
oiher classes , leaving them to their own resources for lecturers , spies , and disturbers ; what possiWe otistat » eoajd they oSer to the accomplisbiaeiix of anT jaij&nal objeci upon which the national win had deeded ! The middle classes who deuy the efficiency < i popular combination are prophets with a power of nil filling their own predictions . Instead of sayint : <¦ ' / ite people , "' you cannot of yourselves work any great change , " ihey should say ]"" }< --u shaD not—u-e will not iEow vou . *'
The reader may erroneously suppose that the will a those claBses thus interposed would offer an irresisuUe and legitimate barrier in the way of any scheme propounded by tbemselTes ; whereas the power emaiata ^ irom popular subserviency , and not from the ¦* £ ! , or the ability of the middle cla >< es to resist it . And , although the wealthier orders are incessant and untiring in their promulgation of the error that tbe working clashes cannot do without them , their everv nove proves the reverse—that they eaniiot Jo wjiLsnt the -prorkmg classe * . ^ ot only do we see their ¦* c akDes < strikingly developed by as much of umon a does exist in the ranks of the people , but we furtier discover that thpv see the r . pcf- ^ siTv of sirikiiif

According to this ,, Daniel O'Connell does not approve of the Temperance movement , because he has not joined . Every bodv who has not joined in the Repeal movement disapproves , and no man can approve of tbe missionary , or anj other cause he has not joined : which is to assert what is sheer nonsense .
In reference to Father Hathew " s approval , if it had not been asserted , it would amount to nothing ; thoagh it is well for a good society to have the approval of all good men . But Father JJathew has approved , and has nnequivocally stated his approbation of the principle , effects , and tendencies of the order of Rechabites . In a conversation I had Mith him , on bis firEt arrival in Manchester , the Rer .

regretted that the present state of Ireland precluded him from bring instrumental in introducing so noble an institution into bis ovm country ; " and I find , by reports in the newspapers , that he reiterated the same sentiments at a large public meeting , held in Manchester , in July , 1843 . Thus , 5 t is evident that Daniel O'Connell knows nothing of the opinions of Father Mathew upon this subject , and is not justified in using the Bev . Gentleman's name to assist him in effecting his present purpose . 4 thlj—Tou say the or&r of Rtchabites is a vicious and toorUileta society . Again , 1 condemn yonr logic as rery bad . You speak of " the charitable teorJes that constitute a portion of the business oftheKcchabxteB . " I cannot suppress a smile , as 1 ask : you , did vou ever before hear tell of the charitable
works of a vicious and worthless society ? You never did , sir ' Tou never can ! The thing is as impossible as for you to establish your own infallibility . The Rechabite institution is neither vicious nor worthless . It is valuable to Teetotallers , as it enables them to make investments for sickness and death , without the temptations incidental to sick societies held in public houses . It is valuable to Teetotallers , because it enables them , when they travel to seek employment , to receive assistance by the way , and to find friends who own them , wherever there is a tent , and should they fall sick in a town at " a distance from home , they meet with sympathy , and are provided for with as ranch care as if they were in the bosom of their own
family . Rechabitism is invaluable to the Temperance movement , as it keeps bound together a number of men whose interest itis to push forward the Temperance cause ; and to Rechabitism it will be indebted for its permanency . R eehabitisni teaehts how- men of all countries and persuasions may dwell together in harmony , and how their happiness may be increased by the annihilation of those exclusive feelings which make the inhabitants of the four parts of the united kingdom look with jealousy upon earh other . These are only a small portion of the beauties , tbe benefits , the virtuous principles of Rcchabitisui , but thev are quite sufficient to show that vou have not truly sketched its picture , and that it is neither a vicious nor a worthless institution .
I am at a loss to conceive why you so repeatedly attack tbe order of Rechabites . Anil in the absence of explanation , I cannot but think that you fear . something from the progress of its soberixinp influence . 1 know that for one of your countrymen who unite with the Rechabites , there are ten who join other societies similar !} organised , hut >\ li .. hold their meetings at public house . "' , \ et of these i <» u are comparatively -ilent . This is a parailu . \ which t must lea'c for solution to yourself , or to ijjo . se who may be inclined to spect'latv upon yonr desires , your views , or your objects . The requirements of your letter are derosratury to the character of man , and degrading in the citrt-uie . They pnnt- you a tyrant , in the very worst sense if the word . You will not allo « your countrymen , or repealers , to think for tjituiselvt-s , or to act upon their
own judgment . They must obey your iliftates , or their names must be blotted from the li : st of Ireland ' s patriots ; and it now ri-: nain » to be suen how many will become your slaves , and obey your mandate . For the honour ui the intelligence of English , Irish , and Scotch Repealers , I hope there will not be many , for if they succumb to you , tile effect will be most pernicious . Mind will never gron under such discipline : jwitriotism will never coinjuer under \\ slavish adhennce to the views of any leadt ^ - ; the expansion of intellect , caused by tbe union of kindred souls in a friendly compact will be arrested , and you , sir , while you profess to be the friend of your country and its people , are doing the work of an enemy , by attempting to force a submission , which would be condemned even in the Grand Turk . You do wrong , sir , when you hid them leave the order of Rechabites , in which thev have enjoved many
pleasures , and from which they may derive many benefits the j caniiul at present obtain from holy fruihls .

THE RECHABITES . The following communications hare been forwarded to me irpon behalf of the Bechabite Association . The letter of Grimshaw is admirable , able , and convincing ; bnt the bye-laws are not what 1 required as the ground-work of the -establishment . 1 - wanted the rules and objects of tbe Societr , as an illegal society may have perfectly legal bye-laws . From all I can collect 1 can come to no other conclusion than that the rules and objects of the Reehabites , being protective of the interests of the labouring classes , has made them an object of attack by llr .
O'Connell , -who has never lost an opportunity of striking a dastardly blow at Unions , and Societies of the Working Classes , which were calculated to manifest their strength and to yield them protection . What 1 now desire is , that tbe rules and objects of this excellent society may be forthwith transmitted to me , so that if legal , the nervous and timid maj be saTed from the treachery of the reckless and daring . 1 cannot banish the fact from iny mind that every prosecution of the English working classes has been preceded by an invitation from O'Connell to the Whig Attorney-General to strain the law against them .
