Uukesheld . —Atamee t 8 ig of the Land / inJ | Bers of this branch , held on Sunday , ™ 7 ^ m&mafe lowing address was unanimously votea to FiH 0 £ 6 flar « s * i > - .: £ 3 $£ - Bespected Sib , —Permit us to convey to you our , ^ j § & . of j-ouriAvaluaWe services , renderetfte behalf bf ; ~ op ^ c § lked humanity : You , Sir , unlike aU oth' ^ of your or |[« a' ^ Hve given us " ( the working classes ) a demonstrative pttJol jBiaJ jonrheartis in its right place . ^ You hfije \ &escxiSMWsw to-hdp tbe'Iewly ; and thisjouhaW ^ flStf * raa ^ a § iJfcl
gpwBw ^ ; 'wo ; vnowKTwang wFjOBr ; Own personal advance . - -So far from this being the casefthe fact is , that whilst the wily enemies have . been faying to guH us with the fear of being robbed by you , you have been going on robbing yourself for our sake , until you have contributed a fortune from your own purse , to help the downtrodden sons of Labour . All honour and gratitude is due to you from those you have served , and we wish to ' convey to you our deep sense of the wrong that is done you , not from your professed enemies , from-them you expected Turthing less , but from those whom you have done the greatest service to ; we refer chiefly to the Bromsgrove allot t ees , but-ive are glad to . see , by reading last Saturday's Star , that the fault-finders are only a small minority , and that the majority are able to appreciate your valuable
services . We do not wonder at your feeling their ingratitude so keenly ; but we do hope and trust that you will reconsider your expressed determination to disengage yourself from the present Company ; if you do not we are lost , for no other man will be able to secure the confidence of the -working classes to the same extent that you have done ; we pray , therefore , that you will consent stiflto hold on t he hel m u ntil you h # e guided us safe into port . And we beg to suggest that something might be done to carry put the plan so nobly begun ; and as there are so many obstacles being thrown , in the way of registration , we arts quite content that you should go on without it , deeming your word and honour a sure safeguard , and we are confident that you will find a goodly number prepared to place full confidence in you ; but the fearful and the dissatisfied , we
think , ought not to he allowed to withdraw their money . A levy of sixpence per week , both on paid-up and unpaidup me m b e rs , sh ou ld be r i gidly enforced . The unpaid-up members who refuse to contribute to forfeit the sums paid ; the paid-up members who so refuse to receive their money back with four per cent interest , when all the members are located , TYe think the re ^ stablishment of the ballot w o u ld gi v e v er y great satisfac t i o n , and become the means of infusing life and vigour through the whole concern . In conclusion , honoured Sir , we beg to offer for your acceptance our sincere gratitude for the services you have rendered u s , and we sincerely pray that the great Disposer of events may long continue your useful life , -with power to wield Bight against Mig ht , until all your enemies are subdued and grumblers scattered .

That believing Mr . 0 '
Connor to be a gentleman , and a man of honour , they have no wish that the funds of the Company should be under any other control than his ; that whether the present Company continues in existence , or its funds be transferred to one more strictly legal they trust that Sir .

It will live and flourish in spite of open foes and pretending friends . Tegive ltupwouldbe to say we are ¦ content , to remain the slaves of capital . As regarda imSeg .

Let us keep faith with these members , and endeavour to give them the land on leases , if'they cannot ' get it freehold ; then when they are 0 n the free labour field , they will soon work out then own independence , and if the houses were to be built on a less expensive scale , it . would give more land to other paid-up members .

Watson said , he agreed with Mr , Murray , that tho last subfect for discussion was the only one worth notice ,
as if he was elected to represent them at the Conference , he would tell them he would do all in his power to have the Company ' s affairs wound up , and denied the right of the Conference to amalgamate the new Company with the old one .

The following resolutions were then put , and carried unanimously : —" That the members of this branch entered solely in confidence ia Mr . O'Connor , and that they have lost none of that confidence . They still prefer it to the protection of tho Building Societies Act , -which-is , like all other acts , framed so that the rich have ail the advantage . " The fourth and fifth paragraphs were examined , when it was moved , se *
conded , and carried unanimously : — " That Mr . O'Connor be sole trustee , treasurer , and bailiff , and that he employ such assistants as he may require ; that he buy , sell , and mortgage , according to his own judgment , and then peace and harmony will still be amongst us . That there should be a weekly levy on all members , so that Mr . O'Connor might raise the Land Company with a golden . Ictcv . The dissaffected . mil then get the full value for their scrips .

O'Connor and the Land Plan , and they trusted that nothing would induce that gentleman to resign his situation as leader of the Land and Chartist movement . They deeply sympathised with him on the losses he had sustained , and the ungrateful
conduct of many of the Land members , but they hoped he would bear in mind that many of the members were men indiffirent to every thing but making money , and had entered the society as speculators and jobbers , to make fortunes by selling shares , without caring one fraction about the liberty and comfort of the labouring classes . .

Ashioji ' -under-Ltne . —A numerous meeting of the Land members , forming the Ashton district , was held in the Land Company's meeting room , corner of York-street , and near to the gas > vorks , on Sunday afternoon , at two o ' clock , when members and delegates from Ashton , Dukenfield , Droylesden , and Mottram branches were present . * Mr . Newton having been elected as chairman the business of the meeting commenced , when , after some discussion , the following resolution was passed unanimously : —Moved by Mr . Wm . Shaw , of Ashton , and seconded by Mr . Richard Holding , of Droylesden , " That this meeting is so disgusted with a large portion of the fortunate allottees and members tor their treatment and ingratitude
towards Mr . O Connor , who has devoted his life and property ia their behalf , that they are of opinion tho only plan in our present position is for that gentleman to apply to parliament for leave to-wind up the affairs of the Company , and pay off all the dissatisfied members . " After the above resolution had been passed many of the members present expressed their opinion that if the Plan had been carried on as at first propounded by Mr . O'Connor , they would havo been going on noir as fast as ever , and they declared that if the present Company was wound up and the dissatisfied members got rid of , they hoped Mr . O'Connor would still go on with the Plan as he at first proposed , and have nothing
whatever to do with the law or registration , as no one , then , would think of joining but those who had confidence in him , and those only are the parties to carry out the plan . The greater portion of the members of the present Company joined only for speculation and money-grubbing , anu never for the purpose of carrying out the Land Plan as a national benefit , as they care nothing for tho Land Plan , or anything else , only " so long as it serves their own selSsh ends . After the above business had been disposed of a - motion was made and seconded , " That the meeting stand adjourned until Sunday evening next , at six o ' clock , when the delegates from all the branches will meet . " The motion was carried unanimously .
MERTnvn Tydvil . — A meeting of members was held on Monday evening last , when Mr . IVm . Jones , one of the members who visited Snig ' s End and Lowbands last week , gave a very cheering account of the two estates . He spent two days there , and made a very strict inquiry amongst the allottees , and the old inhabitants in the neighbourhood . He had been of opinion , previous to his visit , that a very large portion of the located persons were indolent , but he found them quite the reverse : a move industrious lot of men cannot be found in this kingdom . Their crops are truly astonishing . He discovered that many of them had endured great hardships in consequence of the failure of the crops last year , and he declared that sooner than the Company should be wound up he would present his £ 5 4 s as a g ift ; and there are many many more in this town would do the same . He found several of the females
rather discontented , but . they were more contented on Lowbands . The next thing brought under notice , was the nomination of a delegate to the Conference , and they came to the unanimous conclusion' That unless Wales be a district to itself , they would not take any part in the proceedings , as a very large portion of the members were disgusted at the conduct of the Bristol and Bath members at the last Conference . They resolved they shall not serve them the same this year . The secretary bad orders to correspond with the Directors on the subject , and if they consented to the proposal to insert it in the Star of next Saturday , when the Merthvr members will nominate Mr . D . R . Morgan , Malt Millsquare , as the delegate for Wales , All the Welch localities may , if they think proper , record their votes with him , and send their opinions and their share of the expense towards tho Conference , in the early part of next Meek .
. To the Members of the Glasgow Branch . —As a great portion of the members of our branch reside in different parts of the country , and are not in the habit of attending meetings , or contributing their share of tho local expenses , wo take this mode of intimating to them that a levy of threepence per member will be required for the purpose of defraying their share of the delegates' expenses to the forthcoming Conference , for the west of Scotland ; and as many of them are considerably in arrears , we now intimate to them that as this Conference will be the most important that has been held , it is expected that all who still consider themselves members will not fail in transmitting their levy , those refusing , or neglecting to do so , will be
considered as having giveu up all claim of membership , and , should the Company be wound up , as not being entitled to any benefits arising therefrom . This , we consider but fair , as these members in a great measure have been the means of bringing us into the position wo now occupy by the withholding their payments . It is also expected that the different branehes'in connexion with . Glasgow will take some such mode as this to ascertain who aro members , and who are not , as we have no doubt that although many of . the jriombers : will not now contribute towards 1 the . expenses , that they would still be willing to accept of all the benefits arising therefrom , D . Sherrington , Secretary . CiiAOTEnvuLE . —At a meeting of the residents on tins estat
e , Air . Belstead in the chair , the following address to Mr . O'Connor was unanimously carried — " Respected Sib , We , the allottees of Charterville , deeply regret the course of events that has caused the- ' outburst of wounded feelings , ' as manifested in the Star of tho 7 th inst .

at that Conference I trust that some means t £ 11 be devised to refund the amount of shares paid by dissatisfied members , in instalments , according to the means and ability of the Company , -while the members Trill see by my balance sheet since the last settlement , that I have the greatest right to complain .

TO THE CHAETISTS . Mx Friesps , I have seen for some -weeks , -with no little pain , those dissensions which have been going on between the Chartist prisoners in Kirkdale and the Manchester Council . I have no wish -whatever to be made any party to those disputes , while it was impossible to close the only organ open to the prisoners against their complaints or remonstrances , -whether -well or
illfounded . I trust , however , that the war will now cease , as far as the " Star" is concerned . There is no ingratitude that , to my inind , is greater than that of allowing the families of xKakmgmea , who areincarcerated forpelitieal offences , to remain hi a state of destitution , and if there is anything which stamps ^ the Chartist cause with infamy , it is the fact of millions of their order allowing -. their families to starve while they are nnable . to supply them -nith the necessaries of life .
These are not mere words , as I have not only been the sufferer for defending them , but I am still the sufferer to the amount of £ 65 a year io exonerate five Chartist prisoners from oakum picking . H owever , before the ¦ winter comes in , and when the days get shorteTj and the -working classes Trill hare no pleasure trips to occupy their attention , it is mv intention to make a tour to the principal towns of England , Scotland , and "Wales , at my own expense , to raise a fond for the supthe incarce
port of the Tvives and families of - rated Chartists , sothatfhey Hball not suffer cold or hunger during the winter ; and I also hope to realise the wherewithal to enable each prisoner , upon his liberation , to live npon , until he can procure -work ; as , in my mind , nothing has more tended to damage the Chartist cause ft *?™ - the neglect of Chartist prisoners and then : families ; while nothing has more tended to disseminate Chartist principles , than the employment of ihe ablest Counsel to defend the Chartist Victims .
Enemies to those principles "vrill read the speeches of hired counsel , when they -will not read the speeches of working men ; andldars say it is a novelty in the history of this country that , during n \ y time , not a ChariM prisoner has been undefended ; while , in the olden time , it was only to indict and convict . Having spent nearly eighteen months ia solitary confinement in York Castle , I can well understand what my feelings would have been if , trusting to the p hilanthropic and enthusiastic promises of those for the advocacy of whose rights I had lost my . liberty—I Bay I can well

THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN STAR . Sm—It often happens when a man meets with a disappointment , and sees no way of attaining the object he had his heart fixed upon , that when his hopes aro alniosfc gone , something comes from a quarter that is least expected . This may he said as regards the Land Company at the present time . Complaints , long and loud , have come from those who have had the least cause against that greatly to be respected gentleman , Feargus O ' Connor , Esq ., one who has endeavoured to do move service to those who-were willing to better themselves than any man hi his day . However , in the midst of rovilincs , let the members who havo confidence in
him be of good cheer , for he is still their unflinching friend . It gladdens one ' s heart to read Saturday ' s Star , to fiucl there that the members aro about to bestir themselves , not in talking only , but in raising funds . This is the one thing needful , it is the mainspring to set all in motion . Cancel the ballot and bonus together , and set apart one hundred allotments on Mathon estate , dividing this hundred into three ballots , and then make a call upon all the paid-up members to advance one shilling \ ipon each share they hold : the members that respond to be eligible for the'ballot ; members who advancemore and arc fortunate , to haye n choice of their
allotment . This would be a sufficient encouragement for thoso who have money by them . No bonus to be returned . Were this plan to he adopted , there is not a doubt but the funds would increase ; for three ballots , every hundred members would raise more money than the original cost price of the Land . There is no compulsion in one sense in this plan . One member may find it convenient tD advance for one ballot , aud another for another ballot . There would be no running into debt , each ballot standing on its own merits , and clearing itself . By giving this publicity , you will much oblige a paid-up shareholder . S . P . Dumferline , July 23 .

TO THE MEMBERS OP TIIE LAND COMPANY . I much approve of tho plan laid down by Mr . David Morgan for re-establishing tke Company as it was first intended , for certainly it would remove tho difficulties of those members that I should like to see located first , and , by levying sixpence per week on all shareholders would be the means of locating the members much quicker than any other way , and also give , the poor members the same chance as those having money to offer as bonus . 1 think that if I understood right the National Land Company was first established to assist those that
"heeded assistance , and not those that could assist themselves . Now I hope and trust that 11 , Morgan will do all in his power to bring the Company to its old form , aad place that confidence in Fcargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., that he so richly deserves . I do not approve of locating those -who will not'Cultivate the land themselves , as the motto Of ttlQ Land Company is , " that every man shall reap thfl benefit ofhis own labour . " I hope that Mr . Morgan will meet with every support to enable him to ^ , carry out his plans . If I had a hundred votes I should give them to Mr . Morgan , and I hope to see him at the head of the Conference . I remain , your brother member , Thomas Waldbon .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Dear Sir , —I visited my brother on the 10 th inst . at Westminster Bridewell , and found him in good health and spirits . He inquired after you , and desired me to write to you , and tender his warmest thanks to you for your kindness towards him , and to inform you , that Mr . Macnamara , the solicitor , came to him in prison , and asked him if he would give evidence against you . My brother asked him to explain himself , when he said , " it was concerning the trials . " My brother told Mm if ho was called upon he should state the truth concerning the matter , and he believes that if himself and Mr . E . Jones had been examined that the decision would
have been against Macnamara ; and he states that he never knew a more yillanous transaction in the whole course ' of his life . He stated , he should forego the pleasure of writing to his wife and send you a letter instead , containing the particulars in connexion with the proceedings . He is only allowed to write one letter , in three months , ; and I have no doubt in a short time you will receive the next one he writes . I am extremely sorry to witness the manner in which you have been treated by a portion of the Chartists and Land Members , and their conduct towards you is most disgraceful after the many years you have struggled and laboured honestly and zealously to improve the social condition
or the industrious classes of this country . I hope there still remain some honourable exceptions amongst the working classes who can fully appreciate youv noble exertiona on thcir behalf , and will not stand coolly by and see you sacrificed by the apathy and ingratitude of their own order . I pledge myself to give my mite , which will he 7 s . 6 u ., towards defraying tho expenses of the late trial with Macnamara , aiid use my exertions' with others to assist , and I only regret that I am not in a position to do more at the present . In conclusion , I beg to thank you most heartily for your kindness towards my brother , and I hope you will yet live down that prejudice which is the principal barrier to the cause of freedom . I remain ,

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Honoured act Respbcied SiR , r-It appears evident to you as well as to every other member-of the Land Company , that the rules of the Company at present are ] so complicated that it is impossible for us to understand them ; therefore , we are much pleased that you have come to the conclusion ot calling a Conference for the purpose of sotting them on some denned plan , that all may understand them and ioin heart and soul with you m working out the gigantic scheme . —The main question is , how this shall be done ? Many plans have been proposed , none of which , we are afraid , will have the desired effect . It is the opinion of all the members of
ourbranch that the Company must be re-modeled and made more in accordance with the wishes of the members ; wo aro of opinion , that the principle of bonus can give satisfaction only to a few of the members who have capital . We believe that nothing but the ballot , or something to the same effect , will ever give satisfaction to the poorer members of the Company . We are also of opinion , that each branch or district must have the power of chosing the land within its respective district in proportion to the amount of capital paid into the Company by the several branches of tho district , no matter what the price of land might be , for if the land cost from £ 50 to £ 80 per acre , we should feel much more confident of success than to have to go one or two
hundred miles to land that only cost £ 30 per acre . Some of us are giving six pounds per aero for land that would not be let for more than £ 1 in a purely agricultural district ; but , in consequence of being near to good markets and convenient for collecting manure , we much prefer the former to the latter . We feel confident that this plan would give general satisfaction throughout the whole of the Company . We also think that it would be better to mortgage the estates purchased by the Company , because that would prevent them falling into hands that might be hostile to our principles . - We also think that it would have been better for the Directors not to have commencGd another scheme until the present
Company had been settled , as it only makes things still more complicated . —Dear Sir : We have such confidence in your honesty that we care little about the registration—indeed we are averse to having anything to do with cither government or law , it " they will only allow us to go on in our own way . We are well aware that our plan of locating the members in their own districts would not give you the same chance of . benefiting the Company by purchasing tlie land in large quantities , but we believe it would give more general satisfaction to the members of tho Company , and onco more restore confidence , so necessary to the working out the principlss of the Company , and through it our glorious Charter . We remain , youra most respectful ^' , The Members of the Ciiickesley Branch , Jons 13 ENILBY , Secretary . July 24 th , 1849 . _ _ ___

TO PEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL OF inB FINSBURY LOCALITY . Honoured axv Respected Sir , — It is with extreme regret that we read your determination to retire into private life ; we are not surprised at the ceurse ; you have resolved to pursue , when we consider the ingratitude of those for whom you have done so much . The man who takes upon himself to advocate the cause of the people must be prepared to receive a great share of slander from some , and ingratitude from a portion of those in whose behalf he has struggled for , arising from jealousy in some , and in others because they expect their leaders to do that for them which they must do for thenisftlvns .
. Dear Sir , we duly appreciate your past services , and consider you have been the cause of arousing the latent talent of the working man . There is scarcely a Chartist locality but that some of its members can stand upon the public platform , defend their rights , and discuss the great Labour question . You having been the means of bringing about the union of the middle and working classes , consider you can ffifch propriety retire from public life . Dear Sir , we consider it would be impolitic on your part to do so at this time , you are wanted now more than ever , to watch this new moTe , and keep them up to the mark , for if you leave the Chartist body it will split up into sections . There is no one in whom the
people have so much , confidence as they have in you . We hope that you , who have stood the opposition of the government and tho propertied classes , will not be driven from the movement by the ingratitude of a faction , but that you will—conscious of the honesty of your intentions—continue to pursue that course which yQU havo hitherto done ; and that you may havehealth ' and strength to-be the leader of those devoted to the cause of right and justice , until the Charter is obtained , and until you have carried out your object—with the assistance of the trulygrateful— of locating the members on the Land , is our sincere wish .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Honoured Sir , —When I was a plough-boy I well remember advocating the plan of dividing tho land in small lots so that every industrious man might get a living . When I was a young man my business led me among fanners and squires , and at all seasons I gave my opinion respecting the evil of one man holding so large a quantity of land anil not doing justice to it , by which I was subjected to much scorn and derision . I have borne this for twenty-nine years , and intend to do so to my death , because it is the truth . Dear sir , when I first heard what you were trying to do , I was convinced what difficulties you would have to contend with . The teeth of the land sharks are so long and full of
poison that their effects are seen in all our country , but you have fought them well , without sword or cannon . You have given our nation one of the best boons ever offered to a people . I see in London monuments in commemoration of great warriors fortaking life away : your sole motive is to savo lifetheirs for making widows and fatherless children ; yours to make parents and children happy together —theirs to cause sorrow and death ; yours is to bind up the broken-hearted and give life and joy . If your plan is carried out it will soon redeem the nation . Go on—the Lord will prosper you—do not flinch . I see in the Northern Star you spoko of winding up tho affairs oftfie Land Company , —remember there are thousands of the very poor who have paid in anxiously waiting their redemption by
your Land Plan , and their prayers and good wishes are with you . They , so far as I have inquired , wish to have tho plan of balloting again . Respecting the grumblers I have had to face them many times , such worthless lumber are not worth noticing ; the sooner you pay them their money back and turn thorn out the better , as we shall go on much pleasanter without them . Mr . Stone , of Ucwbury , with his family , liavepaid in for several shares , besides a bonus , and he oners to pay something each share to help pay the grumblers off . We are willing to leave it to your judgment , but do get rid of them by paying them what is duo , for smokers and drinkers are no credit to any one . . I am , your well-wisher , -.. ... .. C .
