ftem from derotrag much of their time to the study of theacience of politics or political principles . To this he replied , saying , " that he knew more about politics than I did ; because he had more time to read the newspapers than I . " Had he not been a clergyman , —and a good , hearty , honest one he is , — 2 wonld have told him what that great man , the late Mr . Cobbett , said of Ithat class of politicians who rely upon newspapers for their knowledge ' of
political priaciplea ; he classed them all under the head "Pot-lonse politicians . " I merely mention this circumstance to illustrate the complete and total state of political ignorance in which the poor associates , the payer of a shilling , must be f when a parish priest , —and a good one , too , was under the impression , that Mr . O'Connell was seeking for a Repeal of the Union , and that he himself was a profound politician because he had leisure to read Repeal speeches in Repeal newspapers .
But to return to " Young Ireland , " for whose wUful blindness there is no excuse ; because they were on the spot ; they haS daily intercourse with their " august leader ; " they Tied with that drunken buffoon , and ill-bred , vulgar sycophant , Tom Steele , in fulsome adulations of the sublime ethicks of Conciliation HalL They were present on Monday , the 14 th of August , 1843 , when Mrl O'Connell made the following offer of the Repeal movement to the Duke of Wellington z—
/ 'He ( Mr . O'Connell } fonnd that , on the coast of . Newfoundland much blood had teen shed by the sailors of an English ship , and the Duke of Wellington might shortly want to draw troops out of Ireland when big right to shoot Frenchmen was disputed by France on more than equal terms . ( Hear , hear . ) But , let him interest Ireland in his cause , and he might set the world at defiance . What , he asked , wonld he be at Waterloo or in Spun , if he had not the Irish people to sustain Mm . He ( Mr . O'Connell } would now offer to sell liitn a good bargain ; he would giro aim Ireland , if he give Ireland justice . "
Ixow , the proprietor of the Nation was not only present when this offer to sell the Repeal movement to the Tory administration was formally made , but landed In the sum of £ i 6 Qs ., Repeal rent , with , cut one word of remonstrance against this lease offer . The " Young Ireland" party were present upon several other occasions when offers were made to abandon Reoeal upon similar conditions . This be
in ? the case what right had they to refuse com pliance with the ridiculous resolutions recently propounded by Jfr , John O'Connell ? Compliance with those moral force delusions was not half nor quarter so degrading as the slavish silence observed upon several occasion ? , when it was not only plainly stated , but aotnaUy resolved , that the Repeal agitation should not disparage the agitators' claims on the government , the pledged foes of Repeal .
In my next letter , I shall have a word or two with the Rev . Daniel Ilearne of Manchester ; with the Rev . Dr . Miley of Dublin ; and with Ilia Grace the Archbishop of Tnam , touching his laat letter to Lord John Russell and other matters . It shall also contain some very interesting extracts from Mr . O'Coanell ' s speeches , letters and resolutions , showing how dexterously the poor working classes have been wheeled about , and tamed about , during the last fortv-six years , and left twentv-thres times
worse off than they were when their benefactor gave them the first turn . In the meantime , I beg of them to bear in mind that no man is their friend , but the man who will help them to get the franchise 70 S ETEKY MILE INHABITANT OF THIS EMPIRE , (/» fanis , insane perteau , and criminals , only exaptsd . ) 'ibis is the plain simple test by which you , my countrymen , can distinguish your friend from your enemy .

ASUTON-UNDE R-LYNE . A Meeting of the Shareholders of the Asliton Branch of the Chartist Co-operative Latid Society , took place ia the Chartist Room , Bentiek-street , on Sunday , the 6 th of September , when the adjourned discussion was resumed , from last Sunday , on " the transfer of shares between Joseph Mills and Alfred Barber . " which lasted about two hours , wkea the following resolution was pasBcd . Moved by-Mr . Maoguiness , and seconded by Mr . Pelling : — - That we , the-Shareholders of the above Branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , are of opinion , that the transfer of shares between Joseph Hills and Alfred Barbaras-right and just , and in accordance with the rules . ' \ Moved by Mr . Macgumcss , and seconded by Mr . Mellor : — That the above resolution be inserted in the Northern Star , OPENING OF A DISTRICT OF THE LAND SOCIETY AT TOTTENHAM , MIDDLESEX .
On Monday evening , Septeml > er the Yth , Messrs . Clark and Doyle , two of the Directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , accompanied by , a deputation , consisting of Messrs . J . Gathard , E . Stallwood , and several other friends , proceeded per Eastern Counties Railway , to the far lamed town of Tottenham , . whither they had been invited , to expound the principles and practices of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society . The meeting was held at the Hope Tavern , Marsh Lane .
Mr . Barker was unanimously called to the chair , and said the intention of the society of which he hnd the . honour to bo a humble advocate ; was to form corafortaWe homes for those who had been called lower orders , and if bv this term was meant the basis , or structure on which was built the pyramid of { Britain ' s greatness , he agreed with it ; for . moat assuredly labour w « is the source of all wealth —( cheers)—but it was ' only by the direction of this wealth into proper channels , and causing it to be niore equitably distributed than it was at present , that : could render the working classes cpinfortablc , uappy ; . and . free , ( Loud cheers . ) ...
Mri Doyle said , he always expected tojfiud that when it fell to his . lot to go into a new district ,, that prejudice , with all her exaggeration ' s and ) nistateraents had preceded him ' , and if . such was the case here , he only looked , to that fair play uiualiy ' awarded by Englishmen , to enable him to remove it . _ He found that meetings were of unusual occurrence in Tottenham , but henceforward they would have frequent opportunities oF beepminp ; better acquainted with their social and'political , rights . The . soeiety he had the pleasure of introducing to their . notice , had been
rather better thlan ; . twelve months in existence , and had ; enrolled'sohie 12 , 000 members and . created a fund . ef ,. jil 4 ; OO 0 ; . . He then ' entered into a most lucid ¦^ e xpositron of-the principles and practices of the so-¦ oiety .-and said from the ehbrmous pi-ice charged as rental for small plots of grounii , it wasutteriy futile , to expect any great advantages ' to accrue tho working classes by individual ' exertions ; it was only by co-operation ef means , and buyiiij ; land in the wholesale market , that the great blesdBgs . of every man being possessed of liis own'House , ' and his own Ian ' , could be ensured . ( Loud cheer 3 . )
Mr . Thomas Clark was next introduced and said , he was pleased to have the opportunity of addressing an agricultural audience , as it was only fair toprcsumc . ' that . they understood matters connected with the Land . 'better than mechanics could do . ( Hear , hear . ) . The speaker contended for the advantage oi the Small Farm system , as put forth by the Chartist Co-operatiye Land Society , over that of the present plan of largo ^ aud consequently bmlly cultivated farms , and pointed to the adjourning small allotments of land as a proof of his assertion , he said it is not because one piece of ground is called a garden , and another afieldl that causes vegetation to spring up prolifically and luxuriantly in the former , and so scantily and meagrue in the latter , but , because in the former , from its size the possessor has the opportunity of employing more time in its
culture , and more means to expend m feeding or manuring it . ( Loud cheers . ) lie knew that some of the landed aristocracy zskeH , " If the working classes get land , what "will become of us ? " but he , as an Irishman , answered the question by asking another , viz ., "if the present system continue what is to become of the working classes ? " He could Bee nothing but a Poor Law Bastile , and as Mr . Doyle had said , separation from his wife and family—( hear , hear , }—but happily the working classes had at length taken their affairs into their own handp , and had commenced practical operations , they now had an estate comprising ^ 104 acres of their own on which they had erected suitable cottages , at Herrinpsgate Farm , near Riekmansworth , in the county of Hertford , and they were now in a position to buy others , and were lookingout zealously for other estates with that end in view . Mr . Clark th « n read a
paragraph from' the Star , copied from an . Essex paper , in which it was stated that a Mr . Noor of Easex had by spade labour obtained eight quarters cf wheat per acre , whereas by the plough and the usual mode ofcu / turehe would not have obtained one half the quantity . Mr . Clark concluded an eloquent and forcibleaddress by calling on all who believed that by co-operating together they could procure house and land for themselves , and thus work out their own redemption , and sat down loudly applauded . Numerous copies of rules were disposed of , several shares were taken up . a district was opened , of which Mr . Godman was appointed secretary pro . tern ., and it was resolved" That the Tottenham district of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society shall meet nt the Hope Tavern , Marsh-lane , every Monday evening , at halfpast seven . "
A wish waB expressed by mnny for another visit at an early period , and offers of places of meeting in the open air , or otherwise , were abundant ; a promise was made thut their wishes would be complied with , and that due notice should be given of the time . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .
RENEWED AGITATION FOR THE CHARTER . REGISTER ! REGISTER !! REGISTER !!! The second of a series of meetings , for the purpose of carrying out the propositions of the late Chartist Convention , viz , to ensure the return of men to Parliament who will make the enfranchisement of the masses the primary object of their labours , was held at the Hall of Science , Whitcchapel , on Tuesday evening , September 8 th . The Hall , capable of holding 800 persons , was filled at an early hour . Mr . Thomas Mills was unanimously called to the chair , and said , he looked upon the present moment as one of the best that ever took place , and one well calculated to give happiness and freedom to the whole human race .
Mr . Clark came forward , much applauded , and said , he had to make an apology for his friend , Philip M'Grath . Mr . M'Grath , in consequence of the illness of Mr . Ernest Jones , had been compelled to accompany Mr . O'Connor to Devonshire , where , on Monday evening , they had attended one of the most magnificent assemblnyes that had ever been held in the western division of that country , 200 miles from the metropolis . ( Loud cheers . ) Such being the case , he trusted , they would allow him to jiivea report of the doings of the late Convention , iVr their talented representative . ( Hear , hear . ) After entering into the detail of the doings of that body , Mr . Clark proceeded . —The Convention was in favour of renewing and increasing tho Agitation
for the Charter , believing , as they did . that the great mass of people favoured that measure—( hear , hear , ) and Thomas Wakley , one of tho few honest men , iu the House of Commons , had said they never could be fairly represented until such times as men of their order had an opportunity of standing on the floor of the House of Commons —( hear , hear , )—and he ( Mr . Clark ) believed they had men fully competent for that purpose , amongst the foremost stood their talented member of Convention , and his friend and colleague , Philip M'Grath . ( Great cheering . ) He thought the Reform Act had been miserably concocted and perverted , but if the working classes exerted tliemsolvGs with judgment he had no hesitation in saying , that they might add 200 . 000 to the
electoral list . Mr . Duucombe , who represented , generally , the sentiments of the working classes , had resolved to test ths liberality of the Whigs , on the rate-paying clauses . ( Loud cheer 9 . ) Last year he ( Mr . Clark ) was a member of a Registration Committee , in Birmingham , and that committee had sent in 3 , 000 claims , many of whom had been rejected , under tha operation of those abominable clauses —( hear , hear , )—henco Mr . Duncome , had consented to move for their repeal , both Reform and Municipal Acts . ( Cheers . ) The Corn Laws had been virtually repealed , yet , was be not warrantcdiin saying , that the working classes had , as yet . derived no benefit ? ( Vociferous cheering . ) And he was firmly of opinion that they never would obtain any good uiitil a real Radical reform of the House of Commons took place . Government had , in some
recent cases , bowed to the will of the people , and he believed that henceforth , they must conform to the wishes of a well-organised public opinion . ( Loud cheers . ) lie thought that the working " classes had been in thehauit of spending large sums a \ tv way that was far from useful , hut , on iha cop . n \ iry , was frequency YiigMy Vujnvums , finding its . " way a ^ reveune into the coffers of the ministry , lly , for one , thought that their money would be far \ ietter applied in gaining political and social ki ) o , wleil » e , and m the obtaiument of political ntul ' jot-inl ' rights . ( Loud cheering . ) The late Ceiwen ' . ^ u \ wd agreed that a memorial should be got up iri favour of tho restoration of l ' rost , Williams , , nr a Jones . ( Much applause . ) He (^ - Clark ) had die honour of waiting on Lord John Russell previous to his becoming minister , and he then said h ' ^ should have no objection to the jniuistera v « Bty .. ing them , and , perhaps ,

' !" en «» e nation asked him as ministor to restore them , he wouldjbo inclined to comply with its wishes . ( Avplauae . ) Sir Robert Peel had said , if universal suttrage was granted there would be an end to aristocracy and monarchy , perhaps Sir R . Peel thought i ? k ! ? ° for an aristocra (! y- ( Laughter > - nnu that the expences attending the chief magistracy might be much curtailed , ar . d took this means or expressing his own opinions —( Great laughter )—and it it were so , why he ( Mr . Clark ) had much pleasure m cordially agreeing with him . ( Vehement cheenng . ) ne knew it had been once said , "the people have nothing to do with the taxes , but to pay them ; nothing to do with tho laws , but to obuy them ; " but he was of opinion that being compelled to pay , ought at least to give the power of controlling them . ( Cheers . ) "But he . demanded the right to vote on a broader basis , that of being a man , "hia person was his title-deed . " ( Tremendous
cheering . ) The people of the United Kingdom paid as much in one year to unphold aristocracy ., and monarchy as it cost the Americans to support then-Executive in two hundred years . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Clark read a letter from a mechanic in Macclesfield , wherein he asserted Iio had been made a victim by his employer , who was a Leaguer , and a dissenting preacher , simply because he was a Chartist ; he had discharged him . throwing himself and his family out of bread , telling him as lie had cautioned him and warned him previously to drop Chartism , and as he had neglected his warnings he must dincharge him , as he could not think of keeping a Charti = t in his employ . There , said Mr . Clark , tiiat is a specimen of tiie liberality of the other clnssis to us , and indicates pretty clearly what we have to expect . To insure success we must depend upon ourselves . Mr . Clark resumed his seat amid the loudest acclamation , by movina the following resolution .
. "" Tliat this meeting procluims that political freedom is tilt ) natural inheritance of all men , without distinction of class , country , or colour , and , moreover , that the noneniorccment of such principles is tlie ciu . se of the social inequality , moral depravity , and pliysicul degradation , which at present characteriza ' the population of ' tlie civilized world , and this meeting records its solemn determination to use every honourable ' means iu its power for the establishment of such sublime principles , nnd never to ceaso agitating until it shall hnvc become thu basis of the constitution , by the inscription of the People ' s Charter upon the statute boo . h of those realms . Mr . Lurs King seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Ciiristopiikr Doyle rose , loudly applauded , to movetl' . e second resolution ,: and read the following letter from Mr . Ernest Jones : — !) , Cliurck Row , Hampstead , Si-uteinbtr Gth , 1846 .
Dear Sir , —I hare for the last four or five days . been so seriously unwell that I have been obliged to have medical advice , and am still so ill that I am quite umiblo to ni > coitiunny Mr . O'Connor into Davonsltire next Monday , as I had agreed to do , you will thei'ifore sec thut my present stnto prevents my accepting your invitation to attend your meeting at AVhitechapel next Tuesday evening , which I should have had great pleasure in attending had 1 been well enough . I am under ths necessity of gutting a i ' rieud to write this note for me . 1 am , Dear Sir , your ' s truly , EttNUST JOSE 3 . To the Secretary of the Committee .
