MihSiell made some cuttins remarks on the conduct of those base traitors , who have fisured so conspicuousTnthe Chartist ranks . The following resolnHon -was carried unanimously , proposed by Edward Mitchell , and seconded by Samuel Mclbura .

      " That this meeting is ofopinion . that no . man . or bo ^ y « ftnen , can destroy tbe connd-nce-reposed in'Peareus O'Connor ,-hy the members of the Chartist'Land -Society , ana the members ofthe Chartist Association , so Ion ? as he continues the " straight -for wara and honest coarse he has hitherto pnrsned , in labouring for the social and political improvement of the working classos -of this country , and that wehave the greatest confidence in Mr .

"

      READING , . At the usual weekly meeting of the Land Society , Mr . Dell in theWiair . the following resolutions was prop « 3 ed by G . W . Wheeler , seconded by E . Rousand earned uhanimohsly : — . . . . - . " That the members ofthe Chartist Co-operative land Society r « idins » in Reading have perfect confidence in Feargas O'Connor Esq ., and hs brother directors , and hope that JTr . O ^ Connor will continue his office of Deputy-Treqsurer , unmindful of the snarlings of disappointed but RmMtious men knowing as we do that the only opposition Mr , O'Connor will uow have to encounter , will be either that of men too ignorant to comprehend the Lnnd plan , or disappointed grumblers who oppose it because it does' not provide snag births for themselves , and in our opinion the directors of a national Society , should not stay out of the even tenor of their way to meet such ' men , but treat them with that contempt they so ricBly merit . "

      That this meeting has the greatest confidence in the hononr and integrity , of . Fearaas O'Connor , Esq ., and « hilst we cannot express the pain and indignation that -ire feel at the malicious attempt upon the character of that gentleman , we respectfully hut earnest !; hope , that , despite the efforts and machinations uf bis enemies , be will continue to hold the offices he has filled with so medi credit , since the commencement of the Society .

Thoiiiau Cooper has lately thought proper to indulge , adverse though

      they be to the interests of the Ckartiat eause , and to yourself individually , whom we consider to be one of thej-rcatest benefactors to the human race that has lived since the days of the immortal " Paine . "—It was truly gratifying to us in the extreme , to observe the accuracy of your pecuniary statements , the correctness of your statistics , the force of 'roth with which you so completely casti gated vour alternate sycophant and reviler , aud last , but nofc Jeaet , tbe greatly—if possible—increased confidence that we voluntarily feeVin you , as one ofilt ? roost worthy leaders who ever was entrusted with the reks of » great National Movement .

      The greatest latitude we can give to our feelings Of sympathy towards , and commisseration ibr , Mr . Thomas Ceoper—without regard for the questionable prais 98 of his present admirers—is to regret extremely his fall from the Inch position he once help in the opinions of the Chartists of Leicester and Nottingham , ( to whom he was then best known ) and of the country generally . We attach no importance whatever to this humble yet firm expression of our opinions : we are neither flatterers nor man-worshippers ; nor without just cause will we ever revile any one ; yet , we hope that

      so long as the generous approbation of the People produces the moral effect of strengthening the hands , and sustaining the mind , of a brave and honestleader in his praiseworthy endeavours to create a national regeneration , and of urging him on to increased exertions in his just cause ; and more particularly at a tincture when unjustly and . most cowardly ( as we believe ) assailed ; that this memorial—humble arid unassuming though it be—may have its due , though imited , share and weight in warming your devoted breast , and further inspire your ever stirring soul ' for since ¦ ¦

      "Man to'mari is 80 unjust we cannot allow even one day to pass without thus giving vent to our feelings of conviction ; nor can we omit offering our very hearty thanks to Mr . Clarke for bringing the base calumny promptl y ^ under your notice ; to the members of the Executive , collectively , for their laborious perseverance and sincerity in our cause ; and our entire , individual , ' collective , and undivided confidence , in the strict integrity -ql yoarself and your very able and moat worthy legal coadjutor , Mr .

Should Mr . Cooper require further proof , he shall have it , Let him look in ilie Star of Saturday next ,
