THE RED HALL ESTATE , In repl y to numerous applications , I have only to state , that there is not in England soil of a finer description , a more healthy situation or deli ghtful spot , than the estate above named , and I heg to assure those parties who are inclined to purchase , that if 1 was not convinced of the capability of two acres of its soil supporting a man with on average family , and repaying him the purchase money in less than five years , that I would not undertake the office of auctioneer . Many persons ask me to state the price at which the land will be sold , but that I cannot undertake to do , suffice it to Bay , that in the immediate neighbourhood , land of an inferior quality lets at a rent varying from £ 22 to £ 30 per acre .

POLICY OF THK CHARTIST BODY
The lengthened and impartial report of the proceedings of the National Assembly , which at considerable expense we have had specially furnished , and which is concluded in this day ' s Star , has supplied the Chartists ot" Great Britain and Ireland with ample materials for forming a correct judgment as to the composition , temper , and policy of that body . But it may not be out of place , now that its sittings are closed , and its members have returned to their different homes to present a brief statement of the circumstances under which it assembled . This is
needed for the purpose of setting the country right as to the question really at issue between the Star and some of the members of that Assembly ; and also to throw light on the present position of Chartism , in order that our future policy may be clearly and distinctly understood . In presenting this statement , it is necessary to travel back to the National Convention , of which , in fact , tl e National Assembly was the offspring and continuation . The writer havingbeen an impartial and constant witness of the Sitting s of both bodies , will aim at a fair statement of the simple facts as they presented themselves to his mind .
The National Convention was summoned to meet in London upon certain specific assumptions . For some time previous a National Petition had been receiving signatures in every part of the country . Looking at the number of signatures to previous petitions of the same kind , and calculating not unnaturall y on the progress of the cause which must result from the continual agitation of the question , the leaders proclaimed their intention to have this petition signed by at least five millions of names . It was intended to be powerful and overwhelming , because it wa 9 to be the last demonstration of public opinion "; in tbe shape of a petition , and such as ' would
leave the House of Commony no excuse for rejecting the prayers of the pe .-plo Ihe intelligence which was weekly supplied to the Executive , aod to ourselves , from all parts of the country , recorded the fact that every district was doing its dut y zealoNslv , and that the petition would have even a larger number of signatures than that which had been askvd for . Ihe returns made to the Executivereturns which it was physicall y and morally impossible , under the circumstances , they could personally venf y-gave r earl ythree quarters of a million signatures above the five millions , on the faith that the district and local . officers had done their duty ~ the ordinary and reuliu&dttty

of inspecting the sheets as they were sent ir daily or weekly : the Executive adopted tint number , and published that the NiitfonHl Petition had appended ' . « it 5 , 600 , 000 names . The people had resolved also upon present ing this monster Petition in a way which , they believed , would ensure additional attention and respect to its prayer . Long before the revolutions which have taken place upon the Continent , acting in conformity with former precedent ? , and keeping strictly within the law , they had resolved that it should be presented by a National Convention of forty-nine delegates , accompanied by a peaceful procession of the men of the metropolis . They were not aware that such a demonstration of the moral
power , and determination of the people , was illegal . They knew that in former times , they had not only been allowed , but absolutely encouraged , by the members of the present Government , to have similar demonstrations ; and they , therefore , did not apprehend any obstructioa to their doing so upon that
occaon . It was also resolved that , if tin ' s demonstration of the will of the people failed in inducing the Parliament to take the question into consideration , and concede the political rights which were demanded , tliat a larger and more comprehensive Convention , representing all classes friendly to the movement , should be immediately called to present a Memorial to Her Majesty , praying for the dissolution of Parliament—the dismissal of the ministers—and
the appointment of men who would make the Charter the law of the land . It was al « o determined that this bod y should consist of one hundred members—be called the National As sembly—and , after the presentation of the Memorial , decide what steps should next betaken by the people to secure those franchises which they claim as the inalienable right of Britons . Such were tbe circumstances , under which it was originally determined to hold the Convention , and to marshal the procession to accompany the presentation of the National Petition . % But shortly previous to the time appointed for doing so , all Europe was awakened by the startling shout of liberated
France , and tbe cry of Freedom , echoing across the Pyrenees , was repeated in the plains of Lombardy—repeated even in the capital of Austria itself ; and the whole system of continental despotism , which it had taken so many years to weave , was blown away , as easily as if it had been a spider ' s cobweb . We need not describe the astonishment —the excitement—produced by these unparalleled events . They are still fresh in the minds of all . They developed a new phase of tbe movement ; and while they inspired the party of progress with hope and exultation , they , at the same time , roused into activity all the fears , and with them all the energies , of the dominant party in this country .
While this excitement and these conflicting passions were at their height , the Convention met . Conscious of no illegality , either in its thus assembling , or of any sinister or uncon stitutional intenti » ns in proceeding to carry out its original objects , it issued an address to the people of London , calling upon them to proceed in procession on tlie memorable 10 th of April . They did not intend to infringe the law , and they saw no reason why the obtaining of new franchises and privileges by the nations on the Continent , ought to deprive them of any of the old rights and privileges which b . longed to Britons .
The Government , however , trembled at the possible consequences , which they imagined might arise from such an assemblage ; and , by way of g iving a legal aspect to their really illegal , unconstitutional , and arbitrary proceeding , they raked up an obsolete and dead law , of which nobody but some old black-letter worm of a lawyer knew anything , and which , though it might not have been formally repealed , was most undoubtedly abrogated in spirit and in fact , by the subsequent passing of the Bill of Rights .
Armed with this musty , but in law ( according to the letter ) , still powerful weapon , they forbade the procession , or assemblage of any parties upon that day—and the eyes of Europe and A merica—literally , and not metaphysically —were at once turned upon this dispute between the British Government and the British people . Fools and knaves have , since that time , condemned the course adopted by the
Convention , under these circumstances . Our own conviction , expressed at the time , grows deeper the further we get from the excitement of that period , and the more coolly we are enabled to review all its consequences , is , that the Convention , under the leadership of Mi' O'Connor , displayed equal courage and judgment , and achieved for the people one of the most glorious victories that has ever yet hei > n won for their cause .
To have provokea a hostile collision between a mass of unarmed , undisciplined men , and the tremendous amount of armed and trained force , which that day poured into London , lined every street , lay concealed in every church and public building , and even posted itself in private dwellings , would have been madness of the worst kind . The man who would have recommended such a course , would
have been a criminal of the deepest dye , and a traitor to the cause of the people , whose blood the Government were quite prepared to shed , if occasion had been afforded them ; and such was the state of unreasoning frenzy , into which the middle and upper classes had been worked by the false and blood-thirsty articles of the Times , and similar papers , that not only would they have acquiesced in this slaughter , but have aided in committing it .
It was a difficult and momentous position . But that which would have been made in inferior hands the means of overthrow and defeat , « ' ! is converted , by prudence and courage , into a victory . The Convention , acting upon the advice of the tried and chosen leaders of Chartism , vindicated , asserted , and exercised the rights of Englishmen , despite the proclamation of the Government ; and , at the same time ,
gave it no excuse for the wanton massacre of the masses who assembled to do so . We repeat , that a more signal and glorious victory never was achieved , than to see the dense masses who poured that morning through all tbe great arteries of the Metropolis , a living tide of men , in deiwnce of the proclamations which everywhere lined their route and in large type informed them that it was " Criminal and Unlawful "
for them to be there at all ! The spirit-stirring spectacle of the ( at least ) 300 , 000 people who occupied Kennington Common ; and the mighty shout which went up to Heaven , and sent the blood quicker along the veins , as the carriages with the Petition and the Convention drove on to the green sward , will never be forgotten b y any one who had the fortune to be present . That moment asserted the power and supremacy of the people , to the fullest extent . They were there in defiance of the Government . They asserted and exercised the right of public meeting—they had marched in procession to do so ; and then , at the voice of their leaders , they retired from the scene of their triumph , leaving the myrmidons of Government crest fallen and disappointed .
Up to this point the victory was with the People . Bnt here the f . de turned . The House of Commons instituted a strict scrutiny into the signatures to the National Petition . Whether other petitions would bear that process any better than it did , is not the question . The House had a perfect right to take the course it did . The Committee reported , that so far from the Petition being signed by the
number of names which had been represented , there were less than two millions of actual signatures ; and of these many were fictitious , while others were obscene . There had , evidently , been great neglect and carelessness somewhere . Mr O'Connor and the Convention were not in a position to refute these statements ; and though a hona fide petition , Bijjned by even a million of . names , would have

amply demanded the attention and re . ? pectfu consideration of the Legislature , yet ] V { , O'Connor felt that upon a Petition , the valu * and authenticity of which had been thus ijj ) . paired , he could found no motion , and , there , fore , gave up the Government night , which Lord John Russell had assignedjiim for that purpose . Here , then , was a total change of circumstances , which should , in the ordinary sequence of things , have led to an altered line of policy on the part of the Chartist body , Mr O ' Connor recommended the immediate
commencement of a system of Local Petitioning ; such petitions to be ^ well and carefull y authenticated , and sent ' to the Members representing the Town or district from which such petitions emanated . This wouh have retrieved the cause of the Charter , from the false position in which the report on the National Petition had placed it . It would have made every Member in the House talk once in the session , at least , about the Charter ; and if Mr O'Connor chose to exercise his right to call f or Ilia Petitions to be vend by the Clerk , at the table , two or three hours at least , every night , might have been thus occupied . How far it might have been agreeable to the Government ; to Railway Members ; West
Indian interests ; and other inteiests , to have had so large a portion of each sitting devoted to the petitions of the people for the Charter , we are not prepared to say ; but we have a shrewd notion , that such importunity and constant interruption to their own proceedings , would , in a very short time , have compelled them to think of some effectual means of getting rid of it . Several of the most experienced members of the C » nvention repeatedly urged this policy upon the Convention , but in vain . The original error was left unamended . The Convention tonic no step to remove the stigma which had been cast upon Chartism , and separated , leaving its place to be occupied by the National Assembly .
If the reader has followed this statement of facts attentively , however , be will see . that the calling of an Assembly at all , until something had been done to place Chartism in the same proud position it occupied previous to the report on the petition , and its abandonment by Mr O'Connor , was a most erroneous and injudicious course ; thej assumptions on which it had been detei mined to convene such an Assembl y , had been entirely falsified . The National Petition had not been rejected by the House of Commons . Mr O'Connor ' s motion upon it had not been made and negatived , and , therefore , the steps wbich were to follow on
these two facts , ought never to have been taken . According to the arrangement , the Memorial to the Queen , and the National Assembly , were to have followed these events . As these events never took place , it is clear that both Memorial and Assembly were wholl y unnecessary and out of place . The first tiling wjw to reinstate Chartism in its former position , and it was simply absurd to talk either of breaking the law , by holding an Assembly of more than the number of persons allowed to sit in such bodies , or to niemomlise ^ the Queen , on the ground of an assumption which could have bee . i at once contradicted by all who knew anvthing whatever of the matter .
Mr O'Connor took this view of the question , When he found that the Convention had , in our opinion , most unwisely refused to take steps to set the Chartist body right with the nation , and issued instructions for tbe election of the National Assembly , he called upon them in the first place to postpone the election , and to back him in his efforts to make the Charter a question for powerful Parliamentary agitation . When the delegates to the Assembly were elected , he then advised them not to put themselves in the power of the law , but to select forty-nine of their number , simply to do the
business for which they had been appointed , namely—to make arrangements for the Memorial . As the recognised leader of the Chartists , Mr O'Connor had a rigbt to give this advice . As the Parliamentary representative of the party , he was bosnd to state his views upon the policy to be pursued , and those who abused him for so doing evidently neither took the responsibilities and duties of the position of that gentlemen into consideration , nor were true to the great principles of Democracy . Mr O'Connor had at least as good a right to his opinion on the subject ne
any delegate in that Assembly . The abuse showered upon him , and upon the Star , for having , in the exercise of this right , dared to differ from some of the would-be dictators of that body , would seem to indicate that the parties who could so a « t have yet to learn the veryalphabetofthejustprinciplesoftrueliberty . They may , however , rest assured that Mr O'Connor will not be deterred from using the right to which , as the tried , and persevering , and unswerving leader of the movement , he is so eminently entitled , of advising- openly and freely the policy he deems the best calculated
to secure the objects so near and dear to his heart , and for which he has made so many sacrifices . We will add , that the Star will continue to be , as it has always been , the bold defender of the rights of the Press to criticise freely the actions of all public men , and public bodies ; and , while it will never knowingl y or wilfull y sow dissension and promote disunion , the fear of being abused will never prevent it from boldly denouncing any measures which may seem likely to injure tbe cau * e for which it has consistently , and , we proudly add , successfully , struggled for so many years . Its cob . duvturs are no mere mushroom agitators of
yestevd . iy . They bring to their tusk the experience of many years ; and while their arlour and enthusiasm for the spread and practice of the great principles of political , social , and religious liberty , are as vivid as ever , they believe themselves to be at least as well qualified to judge and advise , as to the policy to be purblind , as men whose names are altogether new to the movement , and whose zeal as well as judgment are , to say the least of both—rather of an apocryphal ' character . We shall leave the country to decide between us . Nay , we may add , it has decided the question already .
1 he number of delegates who remained away from the Assembly , in consequence of the advice of Mr O'Connor , the shoals of resolutions of confidence which have poured in upon US ever since the attacks upon him by certain members of that body , and i r s whole character and proceedings , have settled the question , whether to the satisfac . ion of those who imagined they " had got Mr O'Connor on the hi p this time , and would hurl him from his proud position , " or not , we leave them to say . We are perfectly satisfied . The country is neither ungrateful nor foolish . They don ' t ' « want to
get rid of Mr O'Connor" to take up with new leaders , who , now that he has borne the heat and burden of the day , aim at stepping into his shoes , and carrying off the credit for a vie tory which they neither fought for nor won . g We have already stated howfar the measures adopted b y the Assembl y , met with our approval , and can onl y repeat tbe hope , that the country will give to the new organisation and the new Executive a fair trinl and that support which is consistent with princi ples and the proper conduct of the movement . While we believe , and have endeavoured to show , that the holding i' * ' the Assembly at all was not justified bv the
circumstances , we are ready to accept , in the true spirit of fraternity , whatever of good its labours have conferred , or may be calculated to confer , upon t ! , e cause . The policy of tin ? new Executive shall have our hearty support when we consider it right , and we shall net hesitate to condemn i ' . when we believe it t « be wrong , giving , however , at the same time , our reasons for that belief . Many of the mem bers of that Executive have been long and honourably known b y their earnest and persevering labours in the cause ; ard , for our own parts , we confess that our motto is slig htly different from that of the Jate Assembly . Wti are for " measures and men , " and woui '
