Louden , Thursday Night-My Friends , Here I am once more , and I find that no fewer than six of the PRESS GANG have been building upon my longer absence . If a higboy is attacked at school by five or six LITTLE CHAPS , he cries out " Fair play-ONE DOWN AND THE OTHER COME ON f but , as I feel quite able for all at once , you shall have the result of the first five rounds next week with "THE GLOBE" " THE MANCHESTER
EXAMINER , " " THE NOTTINGHAM MERCURY , " " THE DISPATCH , " and poor Me Miall of " THE NONCONFORMIST ; " and I promise you such a dainty dish of Editorial fricassee as vou never tasted . It appears that Sommerville , " THE OLD SOLDIER" alias
" ONE WHO HAS WHISTLED AT THE PLOUGH , " declines to meet me ; however , I shall be at Manchester , on Tuesday , the . 26 th , to meet you , and his employer will be compelled to meet me in open court . His p lea is want of eloquence , bat plain charges only require plain words to substantiate them , while no eloquence can sustain falsehood . I trust proper arrangements will be made for a meeting on Tuesday
night , the 26 th , at the HALL OF SCIENCE ; mind , the Hall of Science , as it is the largest place , and the managers of the Chartist Hall shall have ALL THE PROFITS , but it must be in the Hall of Science , at eight o ' clock precisely . You wi ll see by the papers that I brought Cobden home , so that my tour was sot unprofitable . This will satisfy you till next week ; meantime , I must beg your strictest attention to the directions of the
Manager of the Bank ; and , during the present frightful crisis , money or post-office orders , and not ev en country notes , must be remitted for both ILand and Bank , and if bank orders are sent they must be payable at sight . Your faithful Friend , Fearghs O'Conkor .

THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME . ( From the WZUfidd Journal , of Friday , October 15 th . ) Some months ago we drew attention to ( he Land Scheme , as propounded b y Mr Feargus O'Connor . Atthtt-time , the press of the country observed a dignified silence upon the subject . Certain whisperings had beenneard from the employee of Mr John Bnght M . P .. Bigned , * One who has whistled at the plough . ' This man , who had for same time previously been engaged to do the dirty work of the honourable member , was , about the time to which we allude , sent into Ireland to hnnt np evidecce against fiie private character of Mr O'Connor . It was thought by this means , to damage the Land Scheme through the character of its champion . The WhixOtr is now weekly writing in Mr Bright ' a paper , letters of attack upou Mr O'Conner and his pet undertaking .
Since our last allusion to the Chartist Land Scheme , not only has Mr Bright ' a paper , but also a portion of the press , opened its fire upon it In once more alluding to this subject , we neither intend to be the apologists of the Chartists nor Mr O'Connor . We are uo admirers of Chartism , as we have seen it exemplified in this , and many other towns in the north of England , and as for Mr O'Connor , he is well able to defend himself without our aid . But we look upon the Land Scheme apart from politics . We see in the support tendered to it by the
working classes , an anxiety evinced to better their condition , which is highly creditable . They very properly look upon the land as the only resource for a nation ' s wealth . They know that themanufac turer of cotton pieces and woollen cloths may add to tiiewealthofafew-jes . may , perhaps , raise some aen from indigence to affluence ; bat they also see every day bring fresh proofs that cotton pieces and woollen cloths cannot , in a time of dearth or scarcity , be made to fill the starving stomachs of their wiTes andchildren . They seethat a nation ' s wealth and independence consists in
making—Every rood of grouni support its man ; and seeing tbii , they have resolved to render support to a scheme , which proposes to place oar population ^ Hpon small portions of the soil , and those portions io bo the urmwrty of themselves , by the payment of a weekly , or monthly instalment The support which { he working class has rendered to this scheme , has now assumed a shape which strikesterror into the Moneyocracy . At first the weekly amount of money received in its favour , and announced in the Stab , was trifling , —then it increased to hundreds , and now thousands cf pounds are generally acknowledged as having been received , Bince the preceding number ef that publication .
What then is the coarse of these men who dread the intelligence of thewnrking man ? Atfirstthething waslanghedat . then sneered atandridicoled . but now It is abased . Feargas O'Connor is represented as a great cheat who is robbing tbe poor for personal gain . Confidence in him is to be Jestroyed as a means of breaking np the society . Column upon column is written far the newspapers—all this is suspicions ; so long as the working classes were spending their earnings at the beer shop , the dram shop , or were the frequenters of the prize ring , the cock pit , or the boll bait , ithua men eould lilt the white of their ejes &cd lament the gross ignorance of their fellow creatures . They coold talk of Temperance Societies and Sosieties for the Suppression of Vies , bub now that
the working man is dubbing his pence to purchase a little soil to provide himself with the staff of life for Hmselt and children , temperance societies are for . gotten , and the brains of prostituted hirelings are racfcd to keep them in abject slavery and debasing ignorance : When we find a powerful confederacy who boast of being able to raise one year its hu ndred thousand pounds , and the next its quarter of a m&lion . for the purpose of being enabled ' to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest' When we find that rich men thus combine , it is time that poor and honest men should unite , so as to be placed in a position to sell their labour at a fair remunerative price . These men , if they were sincere in their profession of respect to the working classes , instead of causing
dmsons , and envjings and jealousies , ought to be assisting Mr O'Connor to place the undertaking upon a proper footing . Instead of abuse and vile innendo . argumentsbould be used , the errors pointed out , and imperfections remedied , and if we found Mr O'Connor refusing aid honestly offered , and advice properly giveB , then it would be time enough to attempt to thwart him in his object . We look upon Mr O'Connor as a visionary in some of his political notions . Many of his views are the very antipodes of our ? , but we believe him honest both in bis political faith and his private dealings , and the same credit which we ask , for good intentions and liberty of conscience to ourselves , we are prepared to extend to him . When we differ with an opponent we do so boldly , but when we agree with
him we are not afraid of lending him our meed of support We look upon the Land Scheme of Mr O'Connor , if properly and earnestly worked out—and we see no reason to doubt the honesty of purpose—as one of the most valuable engines to improve the condition of the labonring population of this country which has ever been propagated , providing the men are industrious , sober and provident . If we were disposed to go into calculations upon the subject we celiere we could prove that by proper management , and a fair distribution of labour , that the nreaent rents , and taxes , of every description , might be taid by six hours' work instead of ten or twelve , and that the abominable system oi Poor Laws with all its expeHsive paraphernalia might be abolished , and a great portion of ourpoliceandcriminale 3 tablishments as welt
Tfcese views may b 3 laughed at by many , but the present system is tottering totts foundation . We have beea going wrong for some time . Our plans of enrrencj and trade are dragging their votaries by whole-Bile into the meshes which blind legislation has pre pared for them . Our merchants are trembling upon the brink of rain—a ruin which may perhaps be postponed foratime . but which will inevitably come . nnlers that selfish and reckless course is changed which the great men of our land have been following for many , many yeara . We have frequently before alluded to that noble sentiment of Lord John Manners , at tie Bugle ;
Allotciect dinner ; ' That the man who had a stake in the kedge -was a better citizen and better member of society thsnhewho had none . ' This principle appears by modern legislators to have been lost sight of . It isihat \? e are believers in that doctrine , that we are disposed to give our humble support to any plan springing from whem it may , which tends to increase tie stake which the working classes have in the roantrr . We behot ' . he Land Scheme wifl tend to that , « . f properly worked out . To increase the ha ? - Pukss of onr population ' we must improve their physical condition , and if their physical condition is bettered , tour intellectc . il and nsoial cnes will aUo follow in a graiier ratio .

. an answer to a charge fromDr M'Doual that this ' Whistler' was advising physical force in ' 39 and then instructing the magistrates how they could butcher the people by thousands in the streets . - Tbe year 1832 preceed the year 1839 by seven years , the year 183 * preceded 1839 five years . In 1632 , a man , to prevent the bloodshed of the people , darad to ran the risk of his own life in Birmingham ; and when he saw other mea in dasger of punishment for tbe act which be bad done , he did not , like a cowardly O'Connor , or phjsic-itt doctor , slink from the front sf danger , and let other men be punished . To save them : he put himself in the front , took all the consequences upon himself , and suffered the severest punishment which hoxnan being can suffer—death itself not excepted . With those consequences before him , that man , to prevent the bloodshed of the people in 1832 , dared to do what he did ; wasle likely to advise physical foree and bloodshed when he was seren yean older , in 1831 ?
In 1834 , a conspiracy to take the cabinet ministers , the government offices , the barrack * , tbe palace , the sovereign in the palace , tbe Bank of Eagltnd , the Tower and all London , and after London all England , by one great and sadden stroke of ' pbjsical forcr , ' mt prevented by that same mm . The aSfcir at Newport , in Wales , In 18 S 9 , was an affair of shuttlecock compared to it ; and never while Eoglaad is England will a nation ' s existence tremble in the balance as it did on that day , whea this-man dared to avert the terrible attempt . Was he likely to do that in 18 St , and advise physical force in 1629 !
Let onr readers carefully read over . the extracts given , and we ask them if they can come to any other conclusion than one ; that if this ' Whistler ' speaks the troth , he most have been either a spy to entrap the nnwary or a physical' forciat' as bad as atiy one . We require no ether evidence to judge tho man than that furnished by his own pen .

^ THE FRATERNITY OF NATIONS . GREAT MEETING AT THE TOWER HAMLETS . An immense as 3 emblage . of people at the call of the Chartists , and other democrats , met in that splendid edifice / the Eastern Institute , Commercial-road , to express their sympathy with the men ef Italy , and their hatred of despotism , whether of Austrian or other tyrants . The hall was densely crowded long before the hour arrived at which th » chair was an aonced to be taken . At a quarter before eight ' clock . . "
Mr Dknsb Dwathb was unanimously called on to preside , and in an excellent speech opened the business of the evening . After which the secretary , ( Mr John Shaw . ) read letters of apology from several members of par&ament , clergymen , and other gentlemen , apologising for their non-attendance . Mr Ebsest Joses who was received with protracted cheering , moved the first resolntion as follows : — That this meeting , composed of persons of various religious denominations , do hereby express its unftigned delight and gratification at the accession to the Papal Chair of Pope Pius IX ., sincerely believing that his exemplary piety , his patriotifm , and extraordinary talents , will be directed to the enactment of wise , just , and merciful laws , for the benefit of hit subjects , and the establishment ef tbe glorious principles at Constitutional Liberty !
Mr E . Jones then said . Sir . —When I look at this meeting , and the individual by whom it is presided over , I feel proud , as a democrat , to partake in its proceedings . I see a numerous assemblage of men convened here , not for a selfish purpose , not to further their own end and | aims , but to render help to men of other lands , strangers by clime , country , Iangnage , and tradition . And whom have we in the chair ? Not an aristocrat , not a man of wealth . Yes ! an aristocrat , for he belongs to the noble order of the working men ! Yes , a man ef wealth , because he earns what little he possesses . Time was , when such a meeting would not have been held , had not a lord , baronet , or squire , been in the chair . Times are changed . We prefer the man with the
coronet icsideof bis head , instead of outside . The working classes have learned not to be ashamed of their own order . Resp ct yourselves , and you will make yowralwa respect you , { Cheers , ) We may , however , naturally asfc , why are not tke members of parliament , and the ministers of the gospel here , whom the bill states to have bean invited ? . Where is Bowring , who announced himself : at Brussels as the representative of the English working classes ( laughter , )—bat who , at a previous democratic meeting held at John-street , refused to take the chair er attend , because the men calling the meeting , were not of influence sufficient . ( Hear , hear . ) They were working men . More shame then to such as he , who . withhold their just
influence from working men . Why do they not try to make them influential ? Bnt we spurn such representatives . We have learned to speak forourselves . We no longer go cringing to a pnrfled peer , or pursue proud { commoner , saying : ' God gave us a tongue , but we don't know how to nee it . ' We no longer want them to lisp' the rights of the poor !'when there onght to be no poor among such mighty riches ; or' the throne and the altar ! ' while the cottage hearth and threshold are a rain ; or' the peace of the country ! ' while more men perish in their peace , than by the pike * in tbe people ' s wars . Let the pensioner represent the plunder he has gorged , the "oldier tbe blood he has shed , the lawyer the fees he has pocketed ; bat the hardy hand and the hearty shout sball represent tbe working man : he
shall speak f » r himself , and tbank God ! he need not be ashamed of his identity . ( Loud cheers . ) But where are the' ministers of the Gospel ? ' Bribing sister Rome with'Maynooth Grants and Church Endowment to become the tool of power as they themselves have done , and sssist them to keep down the enlightenment of man . Rome spurns the degrading favour , Rome does well in rescuing the Church from the State . Chartism does better in defending the people from the undue influence of either . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , friends , it may be said as Englishmen , what do we here to-night ? Do we serve ourselves , or do we aid oar foreign brothers ? We do both , and that essentially . We are informing ourselves of foreign
pjlicy . Government are turning foreign policy against as—we will turn foreign policy agaicst bad government- Had we attended to this , we should have known why Minto is sent to Rome , selling England ' s protection , that Pius may command his priests to preach slavery to the Irish . Had we attended to this , we should have knawn that Free Trade cannot better the condition of the English poor , any more than Protection can do . We should have known that foreign people were fighting for bread , while forced to send ns food . Wje should have known that foreign competition was ruing against English enterprise . For in France , Italy , and Germany—there , too , the money-grubs are eating the fruit of the people ' s labour ; there , too , aristocracy ,
the wolf , is poisoning the stream of their prosperity ; there , too , the worker pines ' an exile from his rights , till we cry in the words oi the hunted heretic : ' How long ? 0 , Lord ! How lone V As long as the tyrants can , no longer than the people will . ( Applause . ) We are rendering essential service to you as well . my foreign brethren . Some may smile at our meeting , because the ships are not freighted to convey our bayonets to the shores of Italy . Bnt , remember , the strength of Chartism is growing , and when the people of England are free , the people ef the world will not bBBlaves . Men of France , Italy , and Germany-Liberty is a tree of long growth in England . It , was planted at Runnymede ; it was sunned by the fires of Smithfield : it was watered by the blood of Marston
Moor , and the veins of Charles ; it was fanned bv the prayera Jof the Puritan , and dewed by the tears of the Exile—and now it is beginning to bloom beneath the fostering hand of the Charter . ( Immense applause . ) Therefore , we have won experience . We now give the fruits of that experience to you . Men of France , Italy , aBd German ;! send the voice of this meeting over the waters . We c » me not here to congratulate you , but to team . We have passed through the ordeal you are now entering , and we wish to point out theerrorsyouarecommitting , and the dangersen your path . There ismuchtoregret in thepresentmovement in Italy . The courage is there , the power is there the energy is there , but the direction is wanting ' They trust-not in their own arms—not in their own hearts—not in their own cause : —they put their trust in princes . Alas ! alas ! when will you learn to realise the Bible warning , ' pnt not jour trust in princes '
Again and again it is verified ; again and again the people go blindfold into tlie Boare . ( Hear , hear . ) TLu 3 the men of Germany trusted the word of a tyrant , abandoned their advantage , and found liberty strangled by a constitution . Thus the men of France re-igncd the tricolour to a king , which , had they guarded it themselves , would now have waved alike over Notre Dame and the Tuileries ! They put tbeir trust . id princes , and where nowistl : e tricolour of ' 30 ? ( Hear !) And you , men of Italy ; yon , who arc the first to draw the sword in this new struggle , what are you doing ? You , too . are putting your trust in princes and already theyiare betrayingyou . What sic tbe men of Sardinia doing ? Already Charles Albert shrinks from the supposed authorship of the letter to his secretary , and imprisons men who dared to think him honest ; yet the people s ' out 'Charles Albert ! ' instead of'Italy ! ' What

are the men of Tuscany and Lucca doing ? They cheer a prince who after twenty-four hours breaks Mb promises and runs away . They trust in their Duke , because he grants them freedom of the Press . But what is the freedom ? They must not write against the Duke , or Duchess , or little Dukelings ; they must not write against the ministers , the aristocracy , or the officials ; they must not writeagainst ' the police , the magistrates or the monks ; they must not write against the clergy , the army or the navy ; there is only one thing left for them to write ; to write themsclveB down as asses if they bear it . ( Lend cheers . ) The people of the Two Sicilies , under the Rome ! , what do they demand ? Now th ' at the king trembles , a crowned murderer , in his nalace . and refuses his
dying mother to ece her favourite son ; . now that the capital heaves sullenly under his feet now that his troops object io execute his butcheries ; now that he is reduced to ask Austria for help , and Austria dare not help him ; now that he is forced to evoke the northern bayonets of tbe Czar to come like an icy avalanche on the bloom of Italy , but they are froxen fast in Poland—now what do the people ask ? . A change of ministers ! Shame ! shama ; Italians ! if yeu waste your fine energies on thiB . Shame ! Shame ! if you neglect the golden opportunity ! Take example by Poland . Think of the glorious manifesto of Cracow . Therefore * , we sympathise with her generous hearts—therefore the Democracy of Europe owe eternal gratitude to
Poland . Not becaase in olden time she saved the west from the barbarous Hun , to be crushed by the no lea barbarous aristocrat : —but because her sons have written equality on their banner , and tried to build their constitution on tho free soil of their native land . Think of this , Italians ! Think ! why has Italy fallen ! She once was free , when the first peasants founded their agrarian republic on the banks of Tiber . Bat the Csesars defaced her—building the palaces of kings , which are the grave-stones of liberty . Then , when these sunk before the northern swords of still more potent tyrants , forth from their ruins crept priestcraft like a bloated spider , spreading its slimy web around the growth of ages , and hiding the light of truth , not under a bushel , but
under a mitre . ( Immense applause . ) Is there ft change ? Is the web broken ? Does the light flash through ? There ia a man named Pius . Why do we honor him ? Because he is more of the Roman than the priest , more of the Italian than the Roman , more of thejman than the Italian . Now , then , if he means well—now , if he is in earnest , why does he not speak the kindling words , that should fall like drops of fire upon the thrones of Italy ? Now that Calabria is in arms—now that , greater than its iEtna , Democracy flames in Sicily , now that Tuscany ra lies her Etrurians , now that Lombardy wrestles with her Austrian gaeler , now that Sardinia rises in her Alpine girdle now that it is the hour , why is he not the man * Why—why dees he not pronounce
those magical words : THE REPUBLIC OF ITALY ! I bid him remember ! a half-reformer is worse than a whole tyrant . You have begun—you must go on—or you must fall . There is no half-way houseuponthe toad to liberty '( Continued cheering . ) Democrats ! The task is yours . Unite . You have heard of the famous balance of power in Europe . There are two scales—princes' and peoples ' . Fraud holds the beam and rapine loads the weights : render ., ing continental Europe as one empire of four kings , with minor satraps , whose crowns their jealousies keep floating in the balance . There stands the fourheaded monster—Louis Philippe , the royal auc tioneer , bringing his own children to tho hammer . Nicholas , the angler for German Btates , baiting hid
hook with Imperial Grand-Ducheases . Frederick William , civing his subjects a Diet so poor , one would have thought Soyer had been his minister . Ferdinand , an imperial Jack Eetch , reducing " murdrr to a science of government . ( Loud cheers . ) Mark how , if the one is endangered , the others ceme to the rescae ; so that tbe odds are always four to one against the people . Wherever liberty rises , one , or all ef the hellish four are on the spot . Austria , like a beaten hound , may slink from Ferrara : like a crouchine tiger she pours her 15 . 000 Croats on Pied * mont . That is the balance of power . ( Hear , hear . ) France may fear to march her troops to Switzerland , lest they should bring back freedom like an Alpine flower , and plant it in the gardens of the Tuillerics ;
but she sends moneyj guns , and : muskets to the Jesuits there . That is the balance of power . ( Cheers . ) Thus the armies ef the four monarebs threaten the Ebrojand the Vistula—the Tiber and the Rhine . If one suffices not , the ethers are ready , and as each isolated people rises , it still finds four to one . That is the balance of power . ( Loud cheers . ) How shall we remedy this ? What must we do to equal them ? Combine ! Let democracy , too , organise its European system . There has been a Free Trade Congress at Brussels—a conspiracy of the money bags , ( hear , hear , )—why not a democratic congress too t ( cheers . ) Foreign democrats ! Be this your mission : from Hanover to Hellas , 'from Poland to Portugal , or .
ganise one army;—look on the nations as its battalions , freedom aa its general , equalitylas its watchword , and Europe as its camp ; put all in motion on one grand field day against tyranny , and each tyrant will ba forced to stay at home to put the fire out in his own house , which will burn but the brighter when stirred by his bayonets . Then let Austria pour its hordes on Italy : they will pause when they mark the distant roar of Galicia on their rear . Then let Prussia march its guards on Switzerland : they will fall back when they find the people proclaiming a republic at Berlin . Then let Russia launch its Cossacks on Germany : they will turn aghast when they feel the lance of Poland On their flanks . Then let
Philippe send his armies on Spam : he will call them home when he hears theMarseillaiBe in the Tuilleries . ( Continuousapplause , ) Thus will each people gain fair play , - and that is all it asks for victory . Thus may Europe win its liberty—by general union —whenever it will . By local insurrection — never ! Fellow-countrymen ! I have been speaking ef waryet would that liberty could be achieved by peace . Happy you , my countrymen ! that you may pluck the flowers of freedom on its placid paths ; that you have learned they cannot be found in the money chest of the monopolist , nor in the coronet of the noble—but in the soil of your land ; not with the strong hand of rapine , not the red sword of war , but with the sinewy arm and the thinking brain , the creative spade aEd the untiring heart . ( Loud applause . ) But now , what you have gained in power , do not lose in caution . Brother Chartists ! We
have told fereign democrats not to put their trust in princes ; do you not put your trust in every man who throws up his hat and shouts , ' The People for ever !' You have returned some good men to the Houee , look well after them that you may keep them good . If they are honest they will like it—if they are not so , they must expect to be found out . ( Hear , hear ) Happy is it , I say again , that you can progreBe in peace ; but abroad it is not thus . There we call the nations to arms , and where is tbe slave who cries 'Down ! Sheathe the sword . ' What ! sheathe it in Poland ? Sheathe it in Italy ? Sheathe it in Switzerland ; What , warriors of Sarmatia ! while your plains are light with the fires of your burning cot . taees , and ringing with the shrieks of your violated
women , shall we bid the husband , father , brother , cringe like a cowering wretch before the spoiler . What , mother of Messina ! shall you wail unavenged over the noblest of your murdered citizens ? What , man of Tarnow ! shall you not strike a blow for your poor young wife , whom the Austrian impaled alive before your eyes ? And shall we be such dastardly cravens—shall we be such a nation of shop keepers , so sank in onr dirty gains and miserable ledgers , as not to firo at the sight ? Shall we not compel our government to aid you z ; they compelled ut to aid the tyrant of Portugal ? If we are to pay taxes for an army , we ought at least to make it do some good . ( Hear , hear . ) They may say ' Would you plunge Europe into a war VI answer : Yes , I would ! Better
war than slavery ; better die by the bayonet than by hunger ( Immense cheering ) . Or they may « ay , ' Would jou burthen the English people with taxation ? ' I answer , why did you burthen us with taxation for Portugal ; or tore&ist . the Bourbons ; or to quell America ? I answer , we would sooner bear taxation for such a purpose , than to pension a harpy like the king of Hanover ; or the concubine of a regal dnke ; or the traitors who have sold the people ! I answer , the liberated nations would repay us tenfold our expenditure . What ? would you not tight for the good cause abroad , as you have fought so often for the bad one ? Where are you , Puritans of Scotlatd ? Where are you , men of Marston ? Where are yon , soldiers of Limerick ? Is there no heart among your children ? No spirit in your posterity ? No ?
aharpnesa left in the old sword ? of jour fathers Yea and where is the middle-class sycophant slave , who will now come and cry ' Peace V ( Continued applause ) No , men of Italy and Poland ! perish the slave , who bids you she ? . thc the sword ! Perish the slave , who tells manhood to unman itself , and not Btriftc a blow to save the grey head of a father from the lash , the honour of a wife , or tho life of a child . Perish the slave , who thinks an English hand should not be on the hilt for Poland ; or that an English tongue should falter at the war-blast when the liberties of Europe are imperilled . No , we will not treat you thus , men of Italy , nor you , heroes of Poland ! first warriors of the 19 th century ! No , glory to you ! Thanks ! Thanks ! for having lavished your precious blood on the ramparts of western civilisation , cementing its old stones ; and may you never , never ,

( Loud cheers . ) He thought that patriotism , like charity , should begin at home , but not end there , ( hear ,, hear , ) and hence we should sympathise with unhappy Ireland . True it was that the Bourbon police was chiefly manned by Irishmen—bo was the army—and the writers on the base venal hireling press were also chief !) Irish —{ hear , hear)—but he blamed the system , not the men , they could not get an honest living at home , and were compelled either to starve there , or to go abroad and accent such
employment as offered itself . ( Hear , hear . ) He believed every honest rational being would sympathise with the natives of unfortunate Ireland ( Loud cheers . ) That country had at least b > rne six centuries of oppression , and there was not a single acre of land throughout her broad domain , but had changed hands three times by confiscation since the invasion of Henry the Second , who presumed to take possession of Ireland under the pretence that tbe Pope of that day had made him a present of it . Mr O'Brien then ably traced the wrongs of Ireland up till the present period , and contended for the repeal of the legislative union , and the adoption of a democratic form of government based upon the principles of the People's Charter , as apanactaforthe
oppression under which they groaned . To obtain a popular opinion strong enough to carry this , it would be necessary to point out what should follow in the shape of change in the laws relating to land and commerce . Without the Charter , he would not give a fig with this , the people of Ireland might be enabled to workout their political and social redemption . Mr O'B'ien resumed his seat greatly , applauded . # Philip MpRAin , who was loudly cheered on riein * , in seconding the motion , said , they were not hereto express sympathy for Italy and Poland alone , bat to extend a little to Ireland also . Ue believed the 111 b of Ireland could be traced to bad laws . We had people in Conciliation atvl other halls , advocating a simple Repeal of the Union only , and their
hearers , the people , Beemed to forget that the Irish Parliament , when in existence , was but an assemblage of the enemies of Ireland , and that the very blackest deeds stained the character of that Parliament ; hence , he did not like simple Repeal , but wished Univeral Suffrage with it . ( Loud cheers . ) He , like the late Mr O'Connell , wished to have Ireland for the Irish , not in name only , but in reality—( cheers ) . When wesaw a people sinking into the grave from want , the ^ thought the sooner the constitution that permitted it was annihilated , was abolished , the better—( great cheering)—and before that event took p ace , the People ' sCharter must become the law of the land—( immense applause )—which could not be accomplished by talking only , but must be the result of unitedaotion . ( Hear , hear . ) And he believed . the time had now arrived , when no man need fear to expre » bis love for those great ptinciplefl . il ( Cheers . ) Mr M'Grath then forcibly and clearly demonstrated
the fallacies put forth by the political economist , and asked if the things that were now ef daily occurrence , did not prove the truth of his position . ( Loud cheers . ) So much , then , for Free Trade fallacies . ( Hear , hear . ) No . no ; nothing less than the Peopled Charter , ' can remove the monster evils under which the people groaned . ( Rapturous applause . ) Then let ttie people be invested with political power , and they will work out their own redemption . The Tower Hamlets and Nottingham had nobly done their duty at the late election —( great applauEe)—and he . believed that Mr O'Connor would lose no opportunity of benefiting the people so long as he held a seat in the Commons' House of Parliament . ( Loud cheers . ) Bui he , and other friends , must be supported from without ; therefore , remember , said he ( quoting at some length the words of Mackay ) . Action is the wise man ' s part . ' ( Rapturous cheering , during which Mr M'Grath resumed his seat . ) The resolution was unanimously adopted .
Mr William Dixon moved the third resolution , as follows : — That in order to guard against an unholy alliance , deceitfal nud unjcrupulous . PrinceB , or corrupt and crafty governments may endeaveur to effect , with the secret view of prostrating and riveting the chains of the people , and destroying the spirit of freedom which animates the brave sons aad sires of Ital y , and which formerly glowed in the hearts of the ( not yet extinct ) race of nature ' a nobles , nb » could once proudly boast of home on the beautiful and fertile plains of unhappy Poland , whose green fields were so oft' seaked with the goro of their kindred . We , therefore , reverently warn Pope Pius to use the utmost caution , and while con . tending for political atid religious liberty , place
confidence only in the people , and that Omnipotent Beta ; of which he is the humble earthly representative . Suceess then to the God-like caute , we feel assured will ultimately be the result . He said , whilst they rejoiced at the wise stepB Pope Pius the Ninth had taken , they ventured to warn his Holiness against his ' trust in princes , or hi 3 confidence in kings , ' or in crafty diplomatists , lest he should be drawn into their wily Bnare 8 , and ! -e turned aside from that reforming path he had so wisely entered . He must confess lie did not like the mission of Lord Minto to Rome , ho much feared it was for the purpose of inducing the Pope to take such steps as would cause the Catholic Priesthood of Ireland to enlist under the banner ot the English
government . ( Hear , hear . ) We possessed pnvdeges here which were not permitted in continental states , amongst others thatof assembling together in meetings like this , and he trusted we should make a good use of them , and that we should not be censured for offering advice to Pope Pius , as he believed there was as great an affinity between moral and physical force , as their was between man and wife , and that self defence was at all times justifiable . ( Great applause . ) He would reiterate the advico so properly and earnestly given by previous speakers , and shout , ' Action , action , action ! ' Remember that admirable poet , Byron wrote ' Who would be free ,
Himself must strike the blow . ' ( Great cheering . ) The resolution was seconded by Ernest Joses , and carried unanimously . • On the motion of Messrs O'Bribu and M'Grath , a voto of thanks was carried by acclamation to the chairman , which he acknowledged , and the meeting was dissolved .

BOLTON . —TllB LAIB ' BRU 88 BL 8 CONFERBNCE . '—At a meeting of this branch held on Sunday last , after reading the discussion at the Brussels Conference , the following resolution was passed : — That we tender onr best thanks to Mr Wearth , the Rhenish delegate , fur his able and manly defence of tbe Chartists of England amidst a league of thair enemies , which defence proves that , though a foreigner , he under , stands the minds of tbe English working classes better than the party who would hare assumed to be their representative , and for which Mr Weerth is entitled to their tmunimons thanks . And , furthermore , we deny the assertion of Dr Bowring ; neither he nor any of his school were delegated by tho working classes to represent them at that or any other Conference , because his and their opinions on the Labour question are strictly opposite . The following resolution was also passed : —
T > at we , the members of this branch , take this oppor . tunity of expressing our utmost confidence in the hoard of directors , and hope and trust that any opposition they may meet with , instead of damping their ardour , will rather stimulate them to greater exertions in the good work of Labour ' s emancipation . Bacdp . —The members of the Land Company held a public meeting in the ChartiBt-room , on Wednesday night , October 6 th . Mr William Tagg being called upon to preside , opened tho meeting by reading Dr M'Douall ' s letter to The Whistler , ' and then called upon Mr Thomas Tattersall , who spoke in his usual eloquent style , and was frequently cheered during his lecture . At the close of his speech , the following resolution was passed : —
That the thanks of this meeting are dne , and are hereby given , to the electors and son-electors of Nottingham , for the noble stand the ; have taken iu returning to Parliament the people ' s friend , ftavgus O'Crnnor , Esq . Bbamhopb , nkar OiLK . —Mr John We 3 t lectured ir , this place on Sunday to a numerous and attentive audience , on the National Land Plan ; at the conclusion of the lecture , several questions were asked , which were satisfactorily explained . There are above fifty members in this place , all engaged in working at the tunnel . ¦ Cripplegatb . — At Cartwright ' s , Coffee-house , Red Cross-street , on Tuesday evening last , a crowded meeting was held to hear a lecture from Mr M'Grath , on the National Land Plan , Mr M'Carthy
was unanimously appointed to the chair ; who , after a few brief remarks concerning the subject for which the meeting had been convened , introduced Mr M'Grath to the meeting . The worthy lecturer was received with loud and enthusiastic cheer ? , after which he entered into a clear , lucid , aud eloquent exposition of the origin , principles , objects , and resources of the National Co-operative Land Company , demonstrating that the Land Company is tt ) Q only society in existence , calculated to regenerate the horrible condition of the degraded and ill-used working classes of this unhappy country : that is the only society in existence , professing to improve the condition of the toiling slaves of Britain that has carried its theoretical professions into practical
operation , and conferred great and tangible benefits on its members . The lecturer directed the attention ei the sceptics who doubted this fact , to the estates of O'Connorville and Lowbands , both of which are now inhabited by the successful members of the Company , and likewise to the other estates which are now the property of the working classes . Mr M'Grath in eloquent strains and convincing terms , showed the superiority of the condition of the free , unshackled agricultural labourer over the condition of the faotory _ slave , who , under the present demoralising system , is compelled to sacrifice his feelings aud opinions , and submit to become an animated machine subservient to the will and caprice of a despotic employer . He showed that an industrious
man with a sufficient qnantity of land as a resource for the application of his labour , would always be surrounded and blessed with an abundance oi' tho necessaries of life , and stated it to be his firm conviction that God and Nature designed the surface of the globe and its resources , not merely for a select few who have to all intents and purposes stolen it from the people—but for the use , behoof and benefit of tho whole of its inhabitants , irrespective of their creed , colour , or religious opinions , and that no man has a just right to monopolise more land than is ade quate to supply the wants of himself and family , so long as any of the human family are destitute of the means , whereby to support themselves by their la . hour . ( Tremendous cheers . ) Mr M'Grath next
adverted to the mean , unprincipled , and unmanly opposition , which had been offered by'Theflogged soldier , ' 'The canonised apo , ' and several other scribblers who are ever ready to sacrifice every feeling of justice ( even conscience itself at the shrine of filthy lucre ) to oppose the rights of the oppressed operatives , in order that despotic , immoral , and unprincipled idlera may continue , as they hare hitherto done , to oppress , [ plunder , and enslave the class , whose industry hag supplied them with , not merely the necessaries , but aleo the luxuries , which they enjoy . The lecturer not only dissected and disproved the flimsy reasons and arguments of the opponents of our glorious Land Plan , but alse proved , in the clearest manner , that if Mr O ' Connor , or any other of the Company ' s officers , were disposed to defraud the Company , they could not possibly do so without the knowledge of the whole of the acting body ; and stated that it was an unlikely thing that
the directors , treasurers , and trustees , would all combiHe to rob the Company , and damn the fame which their former services have procured for them . He called upon the defamers of Mr O'Connor present , to adduce one single proof of hta dishonesty ; butthedastardly wretches did not make the attempt , because it was not in their power to do so . Many questions were asked , evidently with the hopo that they could not be answered , but the individual who put them was disappointed ; they were answered in terms , so clear to be understood , that the answers elicited the mostenthusiastic anddeafeningapplause . Three persons were present , determined , if possible , to damage , not only the Land . Plan , but the officers in the estimation of tho meeting , or in other words , they would damn the plan by defaming and bringing tlte officers into disrepute . One of these individuals declared , before the commencement of the meeting , that he neither could nor would be satisfied , and that he . would move an amendment should a vote of
be proposed to the chairman . This is a specimen of the fair play we have to expect from the opponents ofourbeneficient plan—a plan which bids fair in a short time to exalt the slaves of this country from n state of misery and degradation to an exalted , free , and independent position . Mr M'Grath begged to draw the attention of the audience to the fact , that tho Land Plan originated from a Chartist convention , and adyetted to the fact , that the Chartists are the only political body in existence who have produccd any real and substantiate good for the working classes . He contrasted their acts and conduct with those of tho Corn Law repealers , and proved to the satisfaction of the meeting that the former is a groat nnd indisputable reality , which is already partly , and will ultimately , bo fully carried out , whilst the latter has been
proved a mockery , a delusion , and a snare . That the one haa fulfill ^ more than it promised , whilst the other haB completely failed , and ven tied the prediction of its opponents . The lecturer wished to know where the high wage , great prosperity and plenty to do wore to be found . Was it in Lancashire where the people wore actually starving for wantof employment ? A vote of thanks was proposed and seconded ; and aa amendment made that no thanks be given . The amendment was put first , when only the proposer and seconder supported it , and when the motion was put cvt rv other hand in the meeting : was held up for it , the result of the factious opposition offered to ( he meetinc was that a great many new members wire enrolled .

On Tuesday evening , Mr Samuel Kydd , of London , de . llvered a lecture in the Chartist Church , Regent-itreet , explanatory of the principles of the National Co-opera-) l » oh } ^' ! atlon - Mr Sherriagton being called to the cba r introdnced Mr Kydd to the meeting , which . TEi "l nded - ?»• fcctuwr commenced baying
> , _ , . that the bill announcing the meeting gtated that the land was the only remedy ior the grievances of the working duns . Though this country is said to b * a monarchy , it ui in reality aa aristocraey-though it is honoured with a crown , u is governed by the escutcheons of the nobility ; and by the aristocratic monopoi y of the land , th » country has been brought to the conditien it now is . Within tho last few years we have had a vast manufaotaring developement . While property has been increased to an extent almost incalculable , the condition of the people has become more and more deteriorated . Tho landocracy and moneyocracy of the country have become richer , and the puopl « have become poorer , and this the statistics of the country will prove . From the year 1811 to 1841 , tho population ofEnglandalonehasincreasedWper cent ., yet the people on the land have not innreaged in
the aamo ratio ; on tbe contrary , there has been actually a decrease of the working agricultural population to the amount of 287 , « 0 » . This increase , then , has cntirel / been thrown on the manufacturing districts—competi . tion has boen the result—workman has bade against workman for employment—and miatry almost universal has ensued . He would lay it down as a principle , that the capital of all classes shonld increase in a proportionate ratie . Though there has been a decrease of the population on the hnd , there haB been an increase of rental derived from the soil from the year 1815 to 1841 , to the amount of £ 8 , « 0 » , « 00 sterling . This he could prove from the income-tax returns of the reapec tWe periods . With this increase of capital , there
haB been a rapid and steady decrease of the wageB of the working classes . This position he illustrated by the enormous reductions of the rates of weaving . But by the differences of prices of articles in 18 U and 18 il , he considered that , that £ 8 , 00 . » , 0 » 0 have in effect been , doublad to tbe wealtbydasse * . He contended that articles consumed by the working classes were not low ia proportion , na tbe arti « lcii most ia consumption among them were of a different character from those used by the rich . What ia the remed y we propose for this sta » e of things ? We h ave went sufficiently frequent to tbe Home of Commons to demand justice . We asked for bread , but they gave us a stone . He would now briefly call « i « attention of the meeting to the plan of Mr
Fuargus O'Connor , as developed in the National Land Association . We find that land which will sell for £ « 5 ? o . . neighbourhoodofa l <» r S 8 town , maybe had for ± .-0 m a moro remote district . As we cannot bring tlio land to the people , we propose to take the peopfo to the land . How we propose to do this , is a most important question . We aay to you in the first place , we want your money , and if you do not give us your money , we cannot do anything for you . We ask for the men . who want a cottage and a piece of land . A subscription of £ 212 » . 4 d . will entitle a member to two acres of land and a cottage , and se on ia proportion . On this land iBteraBtwill be charged , with the power of buying » up by instalmontB . He laid that the cottages in paint of neatness and c » nv « nience , were of a description , that not one man of a thousand in Glasgow had ever in
slept . A member possessing two acres , receives £ 16 to begia with ; for thrco acres £ 20 ; four acres £ 30 . This doe « not require to be repaid , but simply tbe in . terest of 5 por oent . There was no end to the mources ofland , and two acres would find profitable employment to a man and his family . He was down at O'Connorville lately , nnd he found the thirty-five alletees in possession of 165 piga—no mean possessionas anybody who knew their value would readily ac knowledge . TheBe allottees belonged to various trades , and he stated it as a fact . that tbe choemakers among them had actually their allotments in finer coaditioa than those brought up as agricultural labourers , He was certain if his lieareri were on the land they would be happy , and if they wero monstrous and frugal , they would soon be enabled to clear their little propnties of all burdens . The lecturer then alluded to the ad van .
tages to be derived from the bank about to be started , and the opportunities which the members would enjoy of borrowing money from the loan society to purchase live stock , which they might repay oa effecting sales . He then referred to the statement of Mr Alexander Sommervillc— ' One who has whistled at the plough '—an to the property being in tho legal possession of tha society . He ( MrK . ) amrmed toot thepropert y belonged to the association , and net to Mr O'Connor . With rtgard to its aot being registered , it cannot yet be done , but it would bo registered as soon a « possible . Mr O ' Connor could not sell or alienate the land , but he ( Mr K ) would procure the acts affecting this question , and study itfor himself . After a few observations on the dishonesty with which trade is conducted , as exemplified more especially in the ense of Mr Bannatyne , Mr Kjdd concluded his lecture amid loud and enthusiastic an . probation .
The CHAIBMAN having intimated that Mr Kjdd was ready to answer any question that mi ght be put to him on the subject of the lecture . Mr Jahes Adams requested tbe lecturer to give a distinct answer as to whether Mr O'Connor was tho legal poisesior of the land or no . Mr Kydd replied that Mr 0 'Canntir was nominall y , but not in reality the posseBsor . He wae only the agent of the association in effecting the purchase , and he would remain in nominal possession till it was registered
Mr Adahs said , Mr Ivjdd bus told tu that Mr O'Connor is purchasing land for the society , became the society , not being enrolled , cannot If gaily do so for itBelf . If , then , it cannot buy for itself , how eanits agent , acting in its behnlf . legally do so thought the members of the society sbeuld endeavour to place this part of their affairs beyond editorial attacks . In his opinion Mr O'Conner was attbat moment the real proprietor while the members were only the nominal possessors . Mr Kidd aaid the land can to legall y purchased in the
name of Mr O'Connor , and he retains it till the rogis . trahon iB performed . The members are proving their confidence by their indifference , while the directors are doing everything in their power towards r ? gistration . The CtiAiBictN said , the members of tbe Lend Society had full confidence in the directors . It was to themselres that blame could be ascribed in not coming forward with tbeir signatures . They are well aware that every measure is being taken to have the matter set at rest .
Mr Kydd ' s second lecture was delivered in tho Mechanics ) Institution . Cowiedeanc , on the evening of Thnraility , the 7 ih . Subject :- Banking , Us Principles , Land nnd Labour Bank , Ac ., ' and wa 8 honourably reported in the Daily Mail . His lectures in the districts adjoining have been of great value . And altogether 1 may safely affirm , that the meetings have been the best we have had on the subject . Mr Kydd ' s excellent reception must have been aa pleasin ? to himself as it has been gratifying to his old friends .
