      My P * Frikxds— It w * i my intention to hav . e written a long letter o Lord John Russell this day , but the fact of fOUR surveyor having arrived to mark and map jut YOUR estate , has obliged me to postpone it fll next week . I am going to show him that what is pod in his Irish measures he has not borrowed , but axen wholesale , from my letters to the Irish landlords , WORD FOR WORD . But to your business . 1 call your attention to the letter of Thomas Ramon ; the most sensible and valuable letter I have ever

      received since the Land Plan was established , and which I answer thus : — "My dear Rawson ,-Many , very many , thanks for your letter , and , in reply , I beg to say , that if a four roomed house costs £ 90 , and a three roomed house costs £ 60 . the owner of the four roomed house , if he chooses to have a three roomed one instead , would be entitled to direct the expenditure of £ 30 in any mode he liked in the erection of out-buildings , and £ 30 in out-buildings will go as far as £ 45 in a dwelling house , on account of no painting , glazing ,

      and fine work , and all the rest of it , and stoves , mouldings , doors , and windows . Would to God that every man with four rooms would allow me to build three rooms instead , and expend the I difference in out-buildings , allowing them to add ' another room as convenience . Let all who have j drawn lots on this farm , that wish the change , ad- ! dress rae at once , not through the Star , but by letter , ' ¦ ON SATURDAY next , addressed , "Lowbands , i Redmuley , near Ledbury , Worcestershire , " and Ijwill i nuke arrangements accordingly , but it must be done 1 >

      at once , as our carpenters' work , and other work , is Ie going on apace . I am writing very fast , so excuse ° blunders . But this is plain : in future , no reports di of meetings will be inserted in the Sier that do not Ia arrive on Wednesday morning , which is no great ^ hardship . Next week , if the surveying is done , 1 n will name my tour . To-morrow I visit Chelten' U , ?' to meet the little Doctor .

They ask me from all 1 quarters , London , Merthyr Tydvil , Manchester , and 5 other places , to have 50 , 000 of last week's letter I printed for circulation . i l Yoa will see Mr . Gurney ' s second letter , and Mr-: 1 Jones ' s answer . I hope you will have as good a ' laugh over it as I had . He need not ask for fair '¦ ¦ [ t

      p lay . Every man who has had the manliness to meet us in discussion , has always had fair play . II long to read the triumph . I hope his opponent will meet his every wish , and leave him no cause of . complaint . It is very cold , and snowing ; and I am very anx- ! ions to be in it again : so I must say farewell . We , go on splendidly , and no mistake . j God help the Irish people between Russell and .. their NATURAL PROTECTORS ( BLESS THE j MARK !) . Smith O'Brien is the only Irishman in , ' the House ; he is doing his work like a man . j In leply to some applications , I have to say , that , ' I I

      of course , the next estate purchased will be for the 2 nd Section , and for those who are drawn in the next ballot , as it will be bought with their money . We have already expended about £ 5000 of Section No . 2 money on land for Section No . 1 . Your faithful friend and bailiff , Feargus O'Connor . P . S . —Pray read Mr . Roberts * letter to Mr . Duncombt—every word of it .

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . 30 , Mount-street , Hulme , Manchester , 31 st January , 1847 . Dear Sir , —In referring to the columns of the Star of yesterday , I see that all communications in reference to the Land , are to be addressed to you , at Lowtunds , I take the opportunity of sending a few lines to you . Being one of the fortunate allottees for the Red Marley Estate , I received a letter from Mr . M'Giath enquiring what sort of a house I would have erected on my allotment , it being a four-acre one , whether I would hare z four-roomed one or a tbree-rwimed one ; or whether I would have it larger or smaller , the rent being in proportion to the out-Isy ; if larger than four rooms , what amount of capital I was prepared to advance to effect the same . In

      answtr to which I submitted to him the following ! questions : —Is it the intention of the directors to erect the necessary out-buildings on only the cot- tages ? my object in asking is , being only possessed ot a limited capital , 1 wish to k » . w if I could have a ¦ three roomed house e . ected , and the difference of tost betwixt a three roomed one and a four roomed one , expense in the ^ erection of out-buildings , rent being the same as if I had a four roomed one , without the out-buildings , and agaia I remarked to him that the capital which the buildings would absorb , being airaneedas above described for me , might perhaps enabltt me to deposit a portion of the money paid to each shareholder on his taking possession , in the bank ot depesit as suggested in your banking system , for locating others , and for a reduction of rent .

      subscription , and receive £ 15 loan in money , to cultivate their two aerm— £ 32 10 s . their thrte —ana £ 30 their four acre allotments . Such is the mode proposed to make the men of England their own masters . That we have any with to see a complete transition of power from the aristocracy to the democracy we at once deny . But we cannot but vie * with a favourable eye the progress of the land scheme . It was not , therefore , without regret that we saw the plan attacked in the Jfanctoter Examiner ; the party thus attacking it , signing himself "One who has Whistled at the Plough . " Now , this party may have whistled at the plough , bathe has whiBtled in Spain to the sound of the Carlist ballads , as well as to the ballads of the Anti-Corn-Law League , now deceased . This gentleman , having , we suppose , no further mission *

      to travel upon for the League , took it into mi head to serve the working classes , by calling their attention to what he calls the illegality of the affair , and its monstrous absurdities and pretensions . Now wa do uot pretend to saj that the Land Company has been legally conBtitotto " , legally enrolled ; of this we profess our entire ignorance , but in thus confessing our ignorance , we have as little hesitation in saying , that we have not the slightest faith in tbe legal knowledge of the " Whistler at the Plough" —indeed , we think that the Whistler had better return to his occupation , as we conceive he will be much more usefully employed in whistling at a pi ugh's tail , than writing- long , tedious and twaddling letters or a subject he evidently knows u t nearly as much about . He disputes tbe legality ; did the whistler never find that out before !—had he never his attention

      Irawn to the matter during the existence of the League > it only now , when hb former masters are d « adfficially , —when be has nothing better to occupy hisatentioD , thathe comes forward as a saviour of the poor nan ' s purse , his protector ana friend . It is time to some forth now , when sixteen thousand pounds have een subscribed , when the poor man ' s purse has bees implied . We hesitate not an instant in describing the philanthropy of the whistler as spurious and hollow , fbe had eyes at the tiaie for anything but free trade waddle , he could have read concerning this Land Scheme when it was 6 rst projected . But the whistler had other work—other fish to fry;—the interest of the poor man merited no attention , whilst that of tbe wealthy manufacturer remained unsettled . But , now that the latter has achieved his insane purpose , the whistler has an hour or two to spare , to write twaddle for the benefit of the poor man . We think it would have been more to the purpose , much more to the interest of the working

      ¦ man , and would have displayed a much purer philanthropy of tke whistler , had he devised * scheme for tbe making of the plan legal—had assisted the directors with his wisdom , i& securing theinterests or the workiug men . If Feargus O'Connor is sincere , honest , and resolved on his present purpose , be will do more good for hU COUntrr than All the united band that ever raved upon the subject of free trade . The Chartist leader may expect opposition from the jealousy and spite of the useless free trade monejocracy ; but let him persevere let him give no cause for suspicion—let him live above it ; let his aim be the glorious purpose of assisting , as Lord John Manners beautifully observed at the Bingley Allotment dinner , "in securing to every raan a stake in the hedge , and he would thereby be rendered a better citizen and a better member of society than he who had none . " Let Mr . O'Connor honestly do this , and he will , we trust , not only receive the support of the independent I portion of the press , but the blessings of those be may ; raise from misery and slavery to honour and independence .

      CHALLENGE TO DISCUSS THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER .

      ANNOUNCEMENT . The Leaders of the Chartist Movement having repeatedly challenged all who might entertain opi niong o pposed to their own to meet them in fair and open controversy , Archer Gurney , Esq ., Barrister of the Middle Temple , hereby expresses his willingness to meet any one , or all of them , upon any occasion , before a meeting of the working and other classes ot this realm , in the so-called Tower Hamlets Institute , this Institute being particularly within the reach of those who would take the most interest in the subject . Mr . Gurney ( who offers to support half the j expenses attendant on such public meeting . ) engages 1 to maintain the following thesis , in direct oouosition

      to the opinions of the Chartist Leaders : viz . " That the so-called People ' s Charter , consisting in "the well-known Five Points , is calculated neither "to advance nor secure the liberty or prosperity of "the English nation . " All ulterior arrangements may be made by means of letter , addressed to Archer Gurney , Esq ., 4 , Maddox Street , Regent Street . It is hoped that Messrs . Feargus O'Connor and Ernest Jones , who have so often expressed their desire to meet an honest opponent in fair argument before an independent British audience , will not shrink from the opportunity thus afforded them . If they do so , their Bilence can only be construed as the internal consciousness of a bad cause , or , in plain language , as fear .

      4 , Maddox-street , Regent-street , 27 th January , 1841 Sir , —The enclosed announcement will be paid for , if desired , as an advertisement , —but I should think it would be more to the honour of the Northern Star and of the Chartists of England , if they made no charge for inserting an acceptance of that challenge to honest political opponents which has beensofre quently given by Messrs . Feargus O'Connor , Ernest Jones , Julian Harney , &c , and published in the Northtm Star ; and indeed the type appropriated to advertisements would be ill-suited for such a notice . When I before challenged to meet the League , I inserted regular advertisements in the Times , Post , Herald , &c , about equal in length to the announcement I now forward , for each of which I paid 10 . < . That was , however , a very different matter . I now

      address the organ of Chartism , which has bo repeatedly called for some political opponent , and which will no doubt hail with gladness in its next Saturday ' s number my appearance in the public arena as a consistent opponent of Chartism , " as inimical to the liberties of the English people . " I may go on to state , since I take for granted that you are in constant communication with the leaders of the movement , that if Mr . Feargus O'Connor , or the other leaders , should desire it for the sake of perspicuity , I should be happy to change the words of my thesis , " That the Charter would neither advance nor secure tbe liberties , " into " would prove inimical ( or injurious ) to the liberties and prosperity of the nation . " At all events , I trust that no

      verbal objection will be raised to the tens' ) on wbioh I would wish to base the controversy . Of course I should suggest that the upholders of Chartism ( whether always the tame person or not ) , should speak alternately with myself : each , 1 should say , for the space of either a quarter of an hour or half an hour , as might b 9 deemed advisable ; the whole controversy occupying four hours ; in which I , the opponent of Chartism on the one hand , and the upholders of it on the other , should speak for two hours each . It is immaterial to me which speaker opens or closes the discussion . It being always understood that tbe Chartist and Non-Chartist speak for an equal number of times . Any day , next week , excepting Monday , I should be happy to hold myself

      open for this meeting . Friends have suggested to me the possibility of the Northern Star shirking the question , and refusing to give that publicity to tbe counter challenge which it has so often given ( in its largest type ) , to the challenge , regarding it as tbe mere organ of a party , and have therefore recommended rae to apply to the Daily News . I believe , howtrer correct their views may be of the impolicy of Chartism , that they do not do full justice to the honest enthusiasm of many of its leaders ; and , there fore , I have no hesitation in addressing this letter to you , ( which you are also velcome to publish ) , and in subscribing myself , in the lull expectation of a satisfactory reply , Your very obedient servant . ., „ . . Abcher Gcbxit . Mr . Hewitt , publisher .

      THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED ! TO ARCHER ~ GURNEY , Esq ., BARRISTER AT LAW . Sir , —I once heard of a Barrister challenging an officer to fi ? ht a duel through the mess waiter , supposing he would see him first ; yeur modus optrandi is not less funny , as your wholesale " defiance" has come ino my hands in the most roundabout way ; however , as 1 am one of those who feel thankful for small favours , 1 shall deal with it as it you had

      adopted a different and more respectful course , and , urstly—to dispose ot your challenge : Y » n n « d better take a friend ' s advice and postpone sraBssasasa TltlTV l ^ rfed to TOUCH on' al wSuL&JK . !!!^ - ^ * *>» A 8 Bbag w « a good dog , butBoiDFAsi was better , you should have withheld even the suppesitiontha yonr challenge would not . be accepted . tiU you had made the exnenment and failed . For my own part , I rather rejoice in my inability to meet yen , because

      1 have a great desire to prove to you , and to the world , that Cbartism does not rely upon any exclusive advocacy to insure that ascendancy , which discussion , above all other auxiliaries , promises . How-• ver , I have-no doubt that an opponent will be PROVIDED for you from the ranks of Chartism , and that your convenience and wishes will be in every way consulted , and all necessary arrangements made . So much for the challenge , and now a word about your letter . It is rather an impertinent letler and savours of conceit . You should have addressed it to me or to Mr . Jones , as for either or both « f us it was especially meant , and , in contemplation 0 ! so great an event- as that of exploding Chartism , you should not have occupied one-half of your let-—

      ter about a paltry ten shillings . I have nothing to v .- v 'k ® » rrangeraents of other papers , about which jou are so minute ; but , not to hold you in suspense , you shall not be called upon to pay even the duty for your advertisement , and if the 10 s . was an * ° ]> J . M would have gladly given you £ 10 for the Chartist feast you promise in these days of universal famine . You need be under no apprebetsion whatever of the Star shirking the matter ; it is too watchful for such rare Godsends ; but by all means enlist the co-operation of the DAILY NEWS . As money appears ' to bo an object , I will pay ^ our Wuf of the expense with pleasure . I regret that you should have compelled me to treat both your advertisement and letter with anything like levity . I shall conclude by assuring you , that you will be waited upon and accommodated . I nave the honour to remain .

      CHALLENGE TO DISCUSS " THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . "

      TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC , AND THE LABOURING CLASSES GENERALLY . t IFEiiow-CoCTimMBN . — The censorious and certainly uncalled for tone of Mr . Feargus O'Connor ' s reply to my application , addressed to Mr . Hewitt , publisher of the Northern Star , and through him to the Chartist public generally , for a fair discussion on the ( so-called ) People ' s Charter , renders it advisable forme to set myself right with you by a few plain and honest words , which will , I bare no doubt , be received in a corresponding spirit * f good feelinand candour . Mr . O'Connor , in the reply alluded w , speaking , or rather writing , in a somewhat Autocratic strain , assumes that my application was

      intended tor Aim , and adds that I should have adopted " a different and more respectful course . " " Your wholesale defiance , " he says . " has come into my hands in the most roundabout way ; however , as / am one of thoae who feal thankful for small favours , / shall deal with it , " &e ., &c . Now , without dwelling at all on the somewhat doubtful courtesy of such * strain of animadversion , 1 may be allowed to observe that I did not imagine the entire cause of Cnartism , and the whole body of its supporters , to be merged in . the one individual person of Mr . Feargus O'Connor . Whatever respect I may and always shall feel for vast masses of my fellow countrymen banded together for at least patriotic , if even mistaken , purposes , I cannot see that a pceuliar and

      extraordinary demonstration of respecs is due to any particular individual amongst that bady . 1 was not aware that an ideal democracy bad so speedily , and in its very infancy , assumed the aspect of a despotism . Air . Feargus O'Connor proceeds to inform me , that my letter is " impertinent , and savours of conceit . " But , fur my consolation , I suppose , he announces that he ( the great man ) will not be able to meet me in the coming discussion ; in which he would , of course , pulverise me and my arguments in a very short space of time ! He says , " For my own part , I rejoice in my inability to meet you , because I have a great desire to prove to you , and to the world , that Chartism does not rely upon any exelusivt advocacy" to insureitsascendancy , &c ., « fcc , 1 really

      never imagined that Chartism was so utterly dependent on any one individual as to require his " exclusive advocacy" for its support ! This is , 1 « . t . i , very u > lerMe keeping with the Autocratic , * . ! of the opening paragraph of his reply . Wittt respect t » the elegant allusion as Brag wag a good dug , but Holdfast was a better , " and some other similar "blows , " 1 shall simply leave them on one side , inasmuch as I must confess my inability to appreciate the lull force of their application . For the four or five times repeated sneer , respecting my perhaps needless comment on the price of advertise , ments , ( which , be it observed , appeared in an almost exclusively busmesB-letter , addressed to a publisher . ) i ^ n n ^ *** that Mr - O'C onnor ' s ofler to pay " my hjlf of the expenses" iswhat he has designated

      , my entire letter , namely , somewhat impertinent . It ? F ™« t 0 me lhat when mv ° ffer is hailed , as Mr . O Connor hails it , as a " rare Gbdsend , " it could be scarcely necessary to seize upon a single expression in a letter of business which wight not tell well for the writer , and dwell upon this with such uutiuug force and acrimony . I can only now Bay , that , as 1 am desirous to meet as large a body of my fellow countrymen as possible on the occasion of the coming discussion , I should much desire , that thk Masters Insthutios , capable ( I believe ) of accommodating 4 , 000 persona , should be taken for the night , the expenses to be of course divided , as before proposed . I would also beg leave to suggest , ( if agreeable to the Committee of the Chatter Movement , who are , I believe , empowered to act UDon such

      occasions ) , Monday , theSthof February , for thispurpose ; the discussion to commence at six or seven in the evening , as may be most convenient to the working clasps generally . Permit me to add , that I have no doubt there are many even amongst the supporter * of the Charter , fully equal to its defence and exposition in a public discussion of this nature . I did , however state , and now repeat , that I do not wish my adverwry to be , of necessity , oue and always the same , because the object of our discussion will be to attain truth , and not an intellectual triumph over one another , " and it might , by possibility , happen that I should start a new train of argument , which might be familiar to one , and not to another , of the chief advocates of the Charter . Without the slightest disposition to " swagger , " I did certainly express myself strongly as to the apparent dereliction of dutv .

      Wflicu the absence of the ( so called ) Chartist leaders , might presenton such an occasion . The plain truth "• ( and perhaps I am now imprudent to state this , ) that I feared the friendsof the Charter might scarcely wish for such a discussion ; not because they doubted the goodneBs of their cause , or became they shrunk . m the slightest degree from meeting me particularl y ; but because the Charter might not gain much by a triumph on such an occasion , whilst anything approaching to a defeat might do it at least K Tfu ^ J y- J wi 9 h ifc to to expressly understood that any opposition to " The Charter . " must net be held to apply to the Land Scheme , wnich , to a certain extent , may operate beneficially , in tending to raise the price of labour .

      ln conclusion , Fellow Countrymen , let me express my conviction , that you will receive and hear me in that fair and honourable spirit , which maybe expected from an assembly of Englishmen and Freemen ; more particularly , as at least on the subject of the accursed JNewPoor Law , and the Ten Hours ' Bill , our sympathies may , I believe , be fairly said to go together . I hare the honour to remain , in the conricuon of yourintegrity of purpose and earhestmindedneas , as well as that ( I may add ) of your somewhat rough-Bpoken friend , Mr . Feareus O'Connor , Your most obedientservant , Archer Gdrnkt , Barrister-at-Law . 4 , Maddox-street , Regent street . 1 . Feb . 1847 .

      London , 1 st February , 1847 . Dear Sir , —As you have made especial mention ot Mr . O'Connor and myself in the challenge you have given the advocates of the Charter , Mr . O'Connor having already answered you , I need trouble you with out few words in reply . You will always find me ready to face any oppo nents of Chartism , since I believe its principles to have such intrinsic power , that , however great , an in your case , the talents of an adversary may be , it » advocates will be enabled to baffle the defenders of monopoly . But , Sir , since you belong to my own order of society and profession , i should feel it to bv

      a matter of pride , it a working man maintained the truth of those principles triumphantly against you ; thus proving to yourorder and profession , that the working men of England are able to defend the cause of justice without Heraldry or Blackstone . Resigning , therefore , to my Brother Chartists the privilege of convincing you of the futility of opposing that cause , but at the same time holding myself in readiness to meet you at any opportunit y , I subscribe myself , Your personal friend , but political opponent , . , „ Ernest Josxi .

      In carrying out the intentions of the Convention , so far you will not be forgetful of tkose who have suffered through the past struggle and therefore , your committee beg to point attention to the annexed memorial , praying for the return of our Char-!?' -jL ' "short you to call publio meetings for this pjnrposc ; - wherever practicable , recommending you to solicit the use of tho Town Hall , and presence , and support of the chief magistrate , and members of the borough and county , wherever such meeting may be called ; and the memorial to be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WAKEFIELD JOURNAL . " Sir , —The article upon theLand in yourlast number , is net the only act of gentlemanly courtesy the working classes have received at your hand . I read it with pleasure , aud assure you in return for it , that if the success of the project depends upoa my integrity , that I would rather go to bed supperless than lessen our purchase money by the amount of my supper . I don ' t want money , and if i had millions , I would spend all on my project and long for more , and be content to die a pauper . I wish all to do as jou have done , to bestow praise and censure where merited , aud to advise and exercise great caution . Yuuhave set an example which many will yet be compelled to follow .
