I received thefollowingletter some time ago , from that told , enthusiastic , energetic , and sincere young patriot , Meagheb , who is now within the clutches of the law , hut to whose future fate I would apply the following two verses of my poem upon Erin : — . " When we see tlie light footstep , that bends o ' er the sand , Of the exile condemned the wide world to roam , Then the day star of Freedom shall shine o ' er the ' land , ¦¦ ¦ . - *• ¦ ¦ To light the lone wanderer Lack to his home .
TVhen the waters that bound her lone dungeon r shall swell ° S 2 feath the crowded white canvass that Lends to - ¦ " tbeyest , . ' ' :. Filled with the cheers of her sons come to dwell In the land of their lathers , the home they lore best . , Such , I trust in God , will one day be the cheering fate of my loved and honoured young fiiend . I would have published his letter h < £
fore , but knowing the effect that unbending patriotism and firm resolution have upon those in -whose hands the fate of the victim is placed , I feared lest an injudicious act of mine might increase their spleen , and augment his martyrdom ¦; therefore I have postponed its publication till now , and the greatest pride that I derive from it is , that my humble ser-¦ dces in behalf of my persecuted countrymen , are" appreciated by the true and unsullied patr iot
Englishmen , you can " form no estimate of my . feelings , from the hour of the incarceration of those brave and gallant men , nrged ' toy others to redeem their , country , and then not- only abandoned , but spat , upon and characterised as ; . maniacs , when they became victims to ; their confidence in others : :. I have been aixaid : to iueation -theitw : UMJiesrin , - ^ tiw " House or out of th § " iHbuseyf except when
xe-• rilexl there , and then I defended them . I have ¦ be en fsarfdl lest my defence of them , or a word of sympathy incantibnsly tittered , should have luf tended to injure them . Many an Itishman , and not a few Englishmen , will shed tears upon the perusal of the young patriot ' s letter , as I have done , Mt I have still the hope —njay , the confident hope—that his country is not for long to lose one of its brightest ornaments .
Gwd God ! is it not shocking—nay , isitnot horrifyiiig—to think of a young man not twenty-three years of age , unrivalled for eloquence , matchless for unostentatious modesty , and unequalled for devotion to his countrv , thus banished from the land of his birth , torn from all that is' dear to him , and consigned to the transport to be conveyed to some penal colony , there to sighf over the lamentations of his Weeding country ? lean say no more ; my feelings , if I went on ,-would hurry me into the meshes of the Gagging Bill , to the great gratification and delight of your and my oppressors . ITeargus O'Cosnoe . " Richmond Prison , " Dublin , . Apr il 23 rd , 1849 .
"Mr Deak Feahgus O'Coxxoe , —I have been a lovg time premising myself the pleasure of writing v < vj a few lines , to thank you for the "very kind interest you have taken in me , and the generous 2 cal -you have manifested in behalf of the State prisoners of * 4 S . " To many claims however upon my grateful esteem , you have lately added one more , which to iay mind possesses a peculiar weight and value . Ton have " brought out" the very Lest likeness that lias appeared of me . All my friends are delislit-ed with it . The execution of it , too , is very beautiful , and has been £ jreatly admired .
" We nrc all quite well here and in right good spirits , for it will always he to us a source of happiness , to feel that we are undergoing some slight puniriiiiiciit for our lore of the old country . Should a heavier punishment be in store for us , we shall jncctltnotoiily with light hut with proud hearts . 2 CfXt to battling for the right , the best thing is suferlngfor it ; and next to a victory a sacrifice couduccs most to the progress and the " glory of any great " ea use . "Believe me , my dear Peargus O'Connor , " Your sincere and much attached friend , " Tiiosus Francis Meacuee . "

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHEEJf STAR . Mr Deab Snt , —According to arrangement , I arrived in Glasgow , on Sunday , the 6 th , and was met by my old friend Duncan Sherrington , and a few others , some of whom I have known for years . The . history of Chartism in Gksgow—for the past twelve months—would make a useful chapter in a book devoted to the political agitations of the people , replete with many lessons of interest and profit to the student , whose object was to understand that motly chaos , called public opinion , its ebbihgs and flowmg 3 , hopes and fears ; but as all the leading features have been manifested in our English towns , I leave the subject for the cogitations of your readers , who may , by a little reflection , remember much and be wiser for their pains . The Committee had published small bills , and
circulated tickets for a course of three lectures . I began my labour by attending a public meeting , hefd in the Mechanics * Institution , Cannon-street , Calton . The speeches were of the right kind . The chairman , Mr . Paul , sounded the key-note , when he said , it was his determination to adhere t » whatever was right . Well , from this text of " right " all the speakers reasoned , and without any previous concert , all spoke in favour of the . suffrage as a right , and argued for the rights of man , frbni man ' s own nature , and contended that the suffrage was a natural risht , and , could logically , be defined apart from constitutional and civil rights . ' This mode ; of reasoning was to me refreshing , as it at once cleared the way of all our modern special attornevismso common among parliament men , and
, also some acute thinkers of the extremely philosophical school ,.- with whom I have had often occasion to differ , entertaining towards them , however , every feeling of honourable respect . My lectures were attended with unabating interest for three nights' successively , my . audience consisting of ' the ilite of the social and political reformers , who are now happily beginning to see that social and political reform are noi antagonistic , but part of the same whole . This union is universalso far as my experience goes , and I think it one . ofthe best signs ofthe times . . All moral , social , and political reforms spring Irom man ' s sense of his life and destiny and afl reflect "themselves on man ' s thoughts and actions . A more enlarged experience is fast making this view of reforms and reformers
better understood , and I look upon it as one of those quiet manifestations of progress and improvement , which are destined to effect great changes in the future condition of nations . Inavo arranged to deliver three discourses in Glasgow in the early part of next week , and I am confident that I shall witness unmistakcable proofs that my labours have not been given in vain . I must omit much worthy of notice to enable me to say a few words on Glasgow and its inhabitants , and I beg to premise that all Inow write may stand as a .-type of all our largo manufacturing towns , differing . less or more in . deoree , tho chief difference in most cases being geographical The ground on which some towns are built being drier th an that of others , they differ in their supply of water , &c , . all" of which
circumstances belong to locality . The inhabitants of Glasgow , m the year 1773 , were about 50 , 000 souls ; it has of late been estimated as containing six times that number . The trade and shipping ofthe eity have incveased immensely , and its wealth in a similar ratio . All the religious bodies are represented by their churches , chapels , and missionaries . The old college , a justly venerated scat of learning , still continues to claim its due share othonour and patronage . The press , consisting of one daily newspaper , The North lintish Mail , and a number of weekly newspapers , ) is said to be talented . Any information from me on those subjects would be unimportant . The -western part ofthe citv is elegantly built , the houses being of stone , of great heig ht , and hearing every appearance
of wealth and magnmcence . llie city is oouua to every part of these islands by steam communication ; omnibuses ply regularly to all the outports through the principal * streets , and the look of the whole is quite metropolitan . On that picture yeu observe every sign of opulenee , ' activity ,. and wide-spvead comfort . Kow look on this .. Stand at the . corner of the steeple at the Cross , your face to the Clyde , divide the city by angular lines , and include the High-street , all the closes and wynds laying to your right , as far as JIaxwell-street to the west , situated between the Irongate , Briggate , and the Salt Market ; also innumerable lanes in the Calton , containin" unitedly , not fewer than 30 ^ 000 individuals . The following extract , descriptive of the same , . is quoted from Captain Millar's papers on the state This writer the late
of crime in Glasgow ^ being superintendent of police : — ' ¦ _ ¦ " Thereis concentratedeyerythmgtbatiswretcned dissolute , loathsome , and " pestilential . Those districts are filled by a population of many thousands of miserable creatures .. The houses in which they live are " unfit - even for sties , and every , apartment is" filled with a promiscuous crowd of men , women and children , " all in the most revolting state of filth ' suKT squalor . 'In inany houses there is scarcely any ventilatFon ; dunghills lie in the vicinity of the dwellings , and from' the extremely defective sewera ge ,: filtn of every kind' constantly-. accumulates . " And how truly the Captain continues : —! 'In these horrid dens . the . most . abandoned characters of the city are collected , and from thence they
niffhtly issue to disseminate disease ,. . to pour up the town every species of . crime and abomination " . In such receptacles , so long as they are permitted to remain , crurie of « very sort may he ex-) ected to abound , and unless tbe evil is speedily and vigorously checked , it must , of necessity ; uicrease The people . who dwell . in these quarters . of the city are sunk to'fte lowest ppssible . state . pf . per- _ spnal degradatibn , ^ whom na eleyated idea can be eipected to arise , " and who regard themselves , irom the hopelessness of their condition , as doomed to , a life of wretchedness and crime .

There is but little regard to the common decencies' of life ; tThe'furniture and inmates of the small rooms of those graveyard :

SHEFFIELD ELECTION . ; . 10 1 HB EDITOR OP THE NOBTHERN STAH . ; : Sm-r-Ih order that the country may see that the Chartist Council is not exactly , of . the same opinion as Mr . Thomas Clark , with regard to the late election at Sheffield , you will much oblige by inserting the followingresolutibn , passed by the Council on the receipt ofthe letter from Mr . Clark . We quote the letter first : — , ; -V : . ¦ " ¦ " 144 , High . Holbora , London ; "April 28 , J 1849 . ; - , " Dear Cavill- ^ -I have seen -Mr .-Roobuok , ' and find him to be a frank , candid , and open-dealing man ; he is for a suffrage almost as large as that proposed by the Charter , but is oppb ' sed to Annual Parliaments and Payment of Members : > We Chartists and Trades Unionists will find in him a merciless opponent and severe criticiser of some of . our
most cherished opinions ; but when in antagonism with us , I feel confident , that his opposition will proceed from ah honest conviction of the truthfulness of his own views and the erroheousness of ours . Our great bond of union as Chartists ; is the suffrage , and whatever Mr . Roebuck ' s opinions may be upon other subjects , on that of : the franchise lie approximates so closely to us , . tlfat opposition to him would , I think , be bothunwiseand unseemly . I therefore decline any furtherAobstruetion- to his claim upon the constituency of Sheffield • " By making public this . papor , you will pbfee me , as from . it the electors and noh-eleetors will learn why'it is that I do not appear longer as the opponentof Mr . Roebuck . : - " ' ¦ ' - : . .- '• ¦ : "Faithfully yours , " Thomas Clark "
The following resolution was passed b y tlie-Council on the receipt of the letter : — " ¦" .. ; . " That we have received your letter , and are sorry for your : cdnclusion , after the iri'terviow you have had with MrirRoebuck , and learriiriff from his own lips . that , he is , not for Annual Parliaments or Payment of Membez-s , but merely for an Extension of the Suffrage , and on that account you decline offering any further opposition to Mr .

" . - MR , CLARK'S ANSWER . TO THE SHEFFIELD COBXCIL . . GjE . vriEMEJf , —Through the kindness , of the editor of ike Northern Star , in permitting me to see your communication previous to its publication , lam enabled to procure insertion for this reply in the same paper that will contnin your resolution . You have declined giving publicity to my letter , addressed to Mr . Cavill , because , " as Chartists , ' - ' you could not agree that'I had acted ri « htlv , in giving way to Mr . Roebuck , after my having heard ironi that gentleman's " own lips , " that he was unfavourable to Annual , Parliaments , and Mp ; lyment of Members , " and that ho was " merely for an Extension of the Suffrage . " :. I was perfectly willing , as you wellbiow , previous to my departure from Sheffield , to remain with vou
and arouse the feeling of the bpiough / npt or . lv upon all the points oftha Charter , but also upon the general questions of labour-and social reform . I was prepared to go to tho hustings at the nomination of Mr . Roebuck , and there ; in the presence of the inhabitants , to enforce and defend our -whole and entire faith , but I was unwilling to go tO the poll against Mr . Roebuck , unless it could be shown that 1 would , in such case , have had some ' chance of success . ' With you , success did not appear to be so much an object as opposition ; whilst 1 , upon the other hand ,, regarded a , probability , ' at least , of success , as the only justification under alL the circuMstnnccs for going to the poll . Besides ; , it is a matter of notoriety to the whole nation , that Mr . Roebuck was regarded as entertainiuff . political
sentiments closely resembling my own , " and this impression prevailed nowhere so much as it did at Sheffield , especially among the ejectors to whom , if I went to the poll , I was to look for support , if support at the polling booth was , indeed , amattev of consideration ; and if -their support was hot iniportaut , then going to tfle ; poll was a farce , ; in which 1 was not willing to . play any part . In order to satisfy me that Mi . Roebuck was in favour of a suffrage almost as extensive as Universal Suffi'ago , ¦ Mr . Ironsides ¦ interfered , ; and broiin'ht ahout-a meeting between Mr . RoebWk ' and myself , at -which-meeting Mr . Roebuck assured me-that the . only-men above twenty-one . years of agewhom he wouldexclude from the franchise j were criminals , even after ' they had suffered . otherwise for , ; -their
crimes . This exclusion ! did not regard as being of much importance , as under a proper ' government I believe criminality would be reduced to . a very insignificant item ; ¦ InT your resolution you lament that Ishould have given wayto Mr . Roebuck , after having . heard from : his own' lip s ^ - : that : he was in favour only , of a /' mere Extension of the Suffrage . '' It . is not in . my power , . to ; say from whence you derived this information , nor do I think it of any importance , even though , I . did know , as it is . utterly and entirely false / The " exclusion . of criminals only , and a " mere Extension of the Suffrage , " . will bo regarded by most people as meaning ' something" very aissimilar—^ I , > at least , " think the ' distinctibn quitti perceptible .. It is certainly-true , that after my h > ierview with Mr . Roebuck I wrote to Mi- / Cavill
the letter which stands at ; the , head of thi 3 H 5 Orrc ' 8-bohdence , rVr ith a private requesfc ,. thatf after , reading it to you , ' tha ' t he would let the , conductors of . each of the'local newspapers hayea . copy . oj it ; but had I for ione-inomeht imagined tnaVybiV would , have thought yourselves authbrise ( J to interfere to pref vent its publication , ' I would have ' addressed myself directly to . the .
