Jfr Fan 3 XDS ,--0 n Monday next , your representatives will meet in London ;' and I ffould implore of you to order them not to allow any "iam" to be mixed op with Chartism , as I shall oppose any such proposition ; and , notwithstanding that I have ever stood aloof from any party that advocated more th an the Charter or less than the Charter , and although that policy has invariably been prop ounded in the "Northern Star , " at a m eeting held in the South London Hall , on ¦ W ednesday last ? a professing Chartist , of the ;
name of SMAift ^ aBT waa informed , reprooated the "Northern Star" for recommending association . with the Financial Reformers virile every reader of the " Northern Star " most be perfectly aware that I have constantly and continually reprobated any such union While my policy has been this : I have told the Chartists to attend their meetings , as they could procure large buildings which the Chartists could not , and there to propound the veritable Chartist principles which would give the middle classes an ^ opportunity of understanding the principles the talent , and the eloquence of the working classes : aud this is the maxim that I atill adhere to . ¦ l .
My Mends , you know the reliance that France has placed upon England , and England upon France , since the Revolution of 1818 and now I will give you the following extract from the " Times" of Wednesday last , to prove to you the candour of the Press . Here it is : — I have !> een assured , on what I have no doubt to be competent authority , that in the recent correspondence which ^ as passed between tlie leaders of the Socialist Committees in London and t&eir brethren in Hear !/ all parts of the cro& ^ tjthe ^ gtroag ^ recognnepdaiMMlMTeteca pTeq to send orer to London , at the penM ^ cSftt&ferpbsJtion , as many "men of action" ( hmmes faction ) as possible . ¦ What the object intended by this recommendation is , my informant does not say . We have , however in die tnan < -
, festes anil addresses of these men , as published in their recognised organs , assurances that the next rising of the peop le moat nut be a partial bat an universal revolution , and it is to be presumed that in virtus of the principle of " solidarity of nations" no country world be deprived of the ? dvantages resulting from such an event The more nmnrae or tne more charitable would suppose the " men of action" referred to may be intended to apply to a less formidable , though not unannojing class . Nothing more maybe meant than alarge addition to those bands of Communists who abominate the possessive pronoun , or who kindly convert meant and ( tram into amia , and to whom the telegraphic apparatus of the Crystal Palace has some reference . However that may be , the letter in question earnestly urges the necessity of a supply of " men of action " at the period referred to .
2 iW , when you read the above , you must not believe it , and if yon do believe it , you must not act upon it—as yon may rest assured that all foreigners hate the English ; and if they did create a revolution here , it would be for the mere purpose of weakening the power of the French Special Constable Pbesedekt . I have been several times in the National Assembly of Paris , and it would be impossible to describe the state of parties in that Assembly . Sometimes three or four couple will
go out to fi ght a duel ; and if any member makes a speech to offend the party amongst which he sits , they will get up , clench thenfists at him , and bellow at him ; but I never saw a greater storm than that which took place in the House of Commons on Thursday week , when Mr . Drtoimond was speaking . The Speaker was obliged to get np several thne 3 and claim the protection of the House , but all in vain . This , of course , was upon the Catholic question .
Jfow , working men , as I am not a trafficking politician , let me implore of you not to allow yourselves to be led away by foreigners , who would merely use you as puppets . The French people have never forgotten the Battle of Waterloo , and never will forget it . I have not the slightest objection to the French contending for their rights at home , but I have a great objection to their leading you astray . As a number of my enemies are discussing , or rather reviling , the Bill now introduced for Winding-up the Land Company , I have given orders that it should be printed in this week ' s "Star , " in order that all may read it ; and then I think all honest men will come to the conclusion , that a more discreet and proper Bill could not be proposed ; and as the
publication of this Bill will occupy some considerable space , I must make my letter brief ; but I wish I could find space in the "Northern Star ' to publish an article which appeared in the "Times" of Thursday , relative to the present position of France , and the jeopardy in which the Special Constable President is now placed ; however , 1 must omit it , as I attach more importance to domestic than to foreign affairs . And , in conclusion , I trust that all the districts will state to their delegates the course that they are to pursue in the forthcoming Conference , and that they will not allow any » 'ISM , " upon any account , to be mixed up with CHARTISM . Your Faithful and Uncompromising Friend and Advocate , Feakgus O'Connor .

' _ . ig NATIONA L LAND COMPANY . A meeting of the shareholders of the Metropolis was held on Sunday afternoon , at the City Chartist Hall . The attendance-when compared with the number of shareholders resident in London—was hunted in the extreme . About three o ' clock Mr . Davis was called to the chair , and stated that they had met to discuss the provisions of the Act for the Winding-up of the Company , preparatory to petitioning for or against the bill . Mr . BLOQUEIELDreadthebill , and the schedules attached to the same .
Mr . J . "Wilson , at considerable length , opposed the clause in the bill which provided , that the expencesofthoBankshould be borne . by the Company . He was also of opinion that the creditors of the Company should not be paid in full , but should only receive a dividend similar to that of the shareholders . He objected to the Directors being paid for their services for a considerable period p ' ast , and thought they should not be appointed ofBcial managers , or in any way employed in windiug-up the Company . Mr . Stailwood asked several questions relative to the sale of the property at O'Connorville , Minster Lovel , &c .
Mr . Milse , and others , spoke in strong terms relative to the supposed mismanagement of the Company . ' . Mr . Ireland gave it as his opinion that the scheme was a failure ; his expenditure , as an allottee at O'Connorville , had been far greater than his receipts . . Mr . J . Beahie , of Minster Lovel , gave a long rambling account of the occupants of that location , and the manner in which many of them had been
ejected from their allotments ; and stated that several of them were now iu prison at the suit of Mr . O'Connor . He further stated , in reply to questions , whether he had let a portion of his land , and the state of the allotments , that it was true he had let a portion of his land , three acreB , but that ho had not received any money , as he had allowed the person who occupied it two shillings per day to assist him in draining the land . As respected the allotments , he must admit that tho majority of them were in a worse state than when the allottees had
possession given to them , but his own allotment was worth £ 15 an acre more than when he first had it ; he was ready and willing , even now , after having been ejected , to pay all the demands of the Company upon him , provided he had his lease . Messrs . Lawrence and Lbfevbe entered into some local dispute relative to the funds paid by the WHttington and Cat Branch . Mt . Dowhkg spoke in his capacity of late auditor as to the general satisfactory manner in which the books of the Coiapany were kept , but complained that he was not allowed to inspect the credit side of the accounts of the Directors .
Considerable discussion took place upon tho different views held by the shareholders respecting the bill , which ended , however , in the appointment of Messrs . Dowling , Stallwood , Bloorafield , Wilson , Salmon , Grassby , Markhall , Florence , Fowler , Hampton , and Slocombe , as a committee to prepare a petition against the objectionable portions thereof , and lay the same for adoption before a public meeting of the shareholders , to be called for that purpose , as _ early as possible . A subscription was entered into to defray the expenses of the meeting . Surprise was expressed by some of the shareholders that the bill had not been printed in the Northern Star , and that no person was present on the part of Mr . O'Connor or the Directors , to explain or defend the bill .
In reply to the report of the above meeting of the Land Members , I have only to say , Firstly—That I never heard of the meeting until after it had taken place . Secondly—That I made a strong objection to the opening of the Bank in connexion with the Land Company , at the Conference in Manchester . Thirdly—That MY FRIEND , Mr . Beattie , got £ 13 a year for three acres of his land , while the rent of his house and four acres
would be about £ 11 a year ; that is , as I have stated before , he had a very nice cottage , an acre of land , two pounds a year profit rent , and his aid money , £ 30 , for nothing . But , I do not thiuk that I could give you a stronger definition of the value of my Land Plan than Mr . Beatxie has given you , when he . tells you that by the draining of his laud lie increased its value by £ 15 an acre . And now , in answer to Mr . Beattie , I will toll him that insolent as he has been to me , and although he has cheated the Company , that I am quite ready and willing to give him or any othei man a lease of his allotment .
The Bill for winding up this Company bus been drawn up by the most able barrister , aud has undergone great consideration , but I think the located honest members who have paid no rent , and my LONDON FRIENDS have a strong desire to RUIN ME WITH EXPENSES . Feargus O'Connor .

CinC < URTi 8 T Hall , GoMisxiLANE . —Mr . Whoelor lectured here on Sunday evening upon "Governments , atid their Effects upon Society . " After the lecture , Messrs . Wilson and Crowe addressed the audience . Tho lecturer briefly replied , and the meeting adjourned . A slight discussion took placo rehtive . to the winding up of the Land Company . Mancuestkb . — On . Sunday- evening the ubu . iI weekly meeting w .-is . held fe the People ' s Institute , which was filled with a most attentive audience . Mr . John Sutton presided . Mr ; O'Connor ' s letter having been read from the Northern Star , the chairman introduced Mr . M'Grath to the meeting to deliver an . address upon passing political ovent ° , and the duty of the people at the present time . The speaker reviewed the proceedings of the Session more particularly the recent bungling Budget , aud that-piece of Whiggish imbecility and
initiationthe Papal Aggression Bill . Mr . M'Grath then relerred to the . feeble and disjointed state of tho democratic movement , and argued to prove that the Manchester Chartist policy was the only one likely to inaugurate an agitation of any real benefit to the people Mr . M'Grath ' s lengthy . address was listened to with deep attention by the meeting , and waB onl y Woken by manifestations of their approval . The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs . Leach , Donovan , Stephen Clark , Dickinson , and M'Cormacki The chairman announced that Mr .

Manchester .. —On Sunday last a meeting of tho members of this Association was-held , in the Cumberland-street Room : there was a good attendance . Mr . John Knight in the chair . The programme of business for the Conference was the subject for discussion , and it was unanimously determined that the instructions to be given to our delegates should be in accordance with tho principles which induced us to separate from the Heyrod-strect Council , namely , the Charter—whole and ' entire , ' without augmentation or dimunitioM . -On Sunday evening last a meeting was held in the Cumberlandstreet Room—Mr . Knight in tho chair—tho spacious room was crowded . Mr . G . J . Mantle delivered an impressive address on tho progressive nature of
man , and the necessity of his enfranchisement from political thraldom , which could only be effected by giving him a voice in the enactment of laws he is compelled to obey . A meeting was held in the People ' s Institute , Heyrod-street , on Tuesday evening last , under the auspices of the Council of the National Charter Association , which was addressed by Mr . ' Ernest Jones , andW . P . Roberts , Esq . —Mr . John Knight in the chair . The chairman opened the business of the meeting , and introduced Mr , Jones , who , on rising , was greeted with the most enthusiastic applause . The lecturer commenced b y a n al ysing the pretentions and abilities of the aristocracy to govern the country , and ably proved that not one of their recent public acts
iustihed their pretensions ; and tint neither Whigs nor Tories represented the wants or wishes of the nation . He quoted the recent fall of tho Russell Cabinet , at a time when there was neither commercial depression , or any great amount of agitation , as a proof of their imbecility . Mr . Jones then objected to the doctrine , that the people would ever obtain power through the aid of the so-called middle classes . The union really wanted was botween tho toilers , and until this took place there was no hope for the people . Trades Unions had intended , but could not prevent , the ruin of the people , Tho only resistance that could be successful must bo the offspring , not of a trade , but a nation—not of a section of the State , but of its strength and resolution .
It was useless to talk about impressing the Whigs . It was useless to talk about impressing parliament ; it was . their own order they must impress ; they muse impross themselves , and organise to win . Mr . Jone 3 concluded a brilliant speech amid loud and repeated cheers . W . P . Roberts , Esq ., rose to move a vote of thanks to Mr . Jones . Ho said that though ho had only yesterday roso from a bed of sickness , where he had been confined eight days , lie felt it his duty to attend and do honour to Air . Jones . Ho . folt that as iv split must take place here it was hia duty to take his side , and he ranked himself on the side of those principles Mr . Jones had just expounded . Tho only thing to live upon or to sleep upon was the Charter . Mr . Mantle seconded the voto of thanks to Mr . Ernest Jones , as proposed by Mr . Roberts . Mr . Mantle defended Mr . Jones from the frequent allusions to
platform braggadocioism , and proceeded to stale his views as to this course which tho Conference ougiit to pursue . The policy of MeBsrs . O'Connor , Roberts , and Jones , was his policy , and he would maintain that policy in the Conference . He had upheld tho principles of unalloyed Chartism in poverty , and in times when he was better off . In prison and nut ; of prison ; find if the Conference passed laws hen-OUniulQ to itself and to the cause of Chartism , he would Still support it ; and he did not believe there would be any split in Manchester among those who could legitimately be called Chartists . Mr . Mantle then referred to tho middle classes , and illustrated their conduct by a number of sarcastic remarks upon the mayor ' s prohibition of seamen endeavouring to collect the trifle which the factory workers of Manchester seemed willing to give them . Tho Chairman put the motion to the vote , which was unanimously carried , and the meeting broke up .
Haniey and SnEMON . —At a meeting , convened for the purpose of electing a delegate to the forthcoming Conference , the cnclosetfresolutions were unanimously passed . Moved by Mr . Merriman , and Beconded by Mr . Bovington : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the present unsettled state of political parties in this country offer a Favourable opportunity to the friends of tho peoplo to arouse the attention of the public , on behalf of the principles of tlio People ' s Charter . " "That in order to organise an efficient movement , having in view the enactment of the People ' s Charter , it is desh-. ible that a delegate be sent from this meeting

j v 4 JO . THE BRITISH ^ EMOORACT . ¦ ¦ \ M is-wj ^ pleaiuiw ^ t ^ again ; | oh 61 dVan effort being made to gather together tiio " " attere& elements of tho British Democracy under the guidance of men who , I trust , have both the wisdom and political experience to conduct the proposed organisation to a successful issue / ' The programiiio of the new Chartist Exacutive seems to me a declaration of rights which all Bhades of the real democracy ought unanimously to respond to . The Executive , in calling upon the people to unite , place a definite statement boforo tho country as to what the peoplo aro cnllod upon to unite for . This is an excellent commencement , and will otivry with it immense influence , especially as the advance guard of the democracy will behold in tho
programme a step in advance of other documents issued by any formor Chartist Executive . The declaration in tho programme " that the land is the property of the whole nation , " is to my . mind the most valuable and important part of that document , and there never was a morn favourable timo tlwn tho present period of agricultural distress and discontent , to impress that all-important idea upon the public mind . In advocating tho Charter in all its integrity , tho question of tho nationalisation of the land , and the other reforms set forth in tho programme , will form excellent subjects in teaching the people their social as well as their nolitieal
rights . From tho words of the Executive , tho future propaganda , from being more systematic , 13 sure to be more effectual than any former agitation . By extending the movement into the slumbering districts of agriculture , the agitation will call to life the rural population , who may as yet be said to have no political existence . Tho neglect , or at most but partial attention to this , was a great mistoko upon the part of the former loaders of the people . In former agitations the chief exertions o the Chartist body have been confined to the large towns , and even there without any other systematic mode of action than the move issuing of bills
announcing public meetings , at which seldom any other than Chartists attend . I have frequently seen meetings hold in tho City in the beginning of the week ; in Lambeth about the middle ; Westminster or Marylebone towards the end ; all attended by nearly the same audience , addressed by nearly the same speakers , not all of them quite sure as to what they either wanted therasolvon , or what justly constitute the rights of tho peoplo . I coufd say the same thing of several other of our large towns flow I tako it for granted that tho creat work to be accomplished is U teach thos « who aro not yet converts to tho creed of democracy , the neccsitv of becoming so ; but it is impossible to do this while the agitation is chiefly confined to the ranks of tlio democracy itself . I am glad , however , to observe that the Executivo seem to have an eye to this , with a view to make tbe agitation more general and systematic .
The repeated disputes between tho moral and physical force Chartists is another subject which has caused much di . sention and ill feeline amon * tho Chartist body , and it will do so again , unless both the people and their leaders are determined to put a stop to this insane policy , and prevent that question from being entertained or discussed under anylorm whatever , because I hold that a decision either way will turn to the advantageoi the "overnment . For my own part , Hook upon that man as being fit for little else than out-door relief , who under all circumstances , preaches passive obedience . On the other hand , any man who threatens tho overthrow of tho government by force , when ho and his party are scarcely strong enouch to stand upon thoir legs , ought to bo taken care of , and if ho should havo any frionds , the sooner they look after him tho better , because if they do not tho government will be sure to take care * of him for themIf
. any attempt should bo made to revive this question during the futuve agitation , I trust tho good sense Of the people , and thote who are worthy of the name of their leaders , will at oneo cause it to be suppressed . Let the democracy set itself energetically to work to make converts of tho majority of the peoplo to its creed , and then tho question as to how they can best acquire thoir rights may be considered as settled . For this purpose tho Democratic and Social schoolmaster should bo sent abroad , and the youn " mind of this country be literally besieged with instruction upon tho subjects contained in tho programme of the Executive , until tho groat mass of tho people are thoroughly convinced of the necessity of giving practical effect to the doctrines contained therein , and the hour of their emancipation may be said to be-tit hand .
To do this effectually groat , care must he taken that the agricultural districts are not neglected . I have had occasion to travel through several of the most important agricultural counties during tho last year , and I know well there is a strong feeline against the present system of landlordism , which only requires to bo directed into the proper channel . I fear I have already occupied too much space , and will therefore conclude- with an earnest appeal to tho British Democracy to rally round the Executlve- Awkkd A . Walton .

THE CI 1 ARTISTS OP NEW RADFORD AND THE SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sin , —We request tho insertion of these line , in consequence of our last formin" subject matter for dispute . We havo not the slightest intention of charging tho Executive , or their ' secretary , with publishing reports which they knew to be falseneither have we any desire to * lead the public mindastray with regard to them ; but , when reading tho report of the Executivo in t \ ie Star of tho 1 st of February , we thero found that " correspondence of a highly encouraging and progressive character had been received from New Rn < ifor < V which we Knew nothing Of ; and WO being the only organised party in New Badford , were at a loss to conjecture from
whence arose the report in question . Again , in the Star of March the first , we rind that " correspondence had been received from Nottingham , stating that , at present , we were unable to tako part in scuding a delegate to tho ensuing Convention , " when , hi tho same column , will be found the report of a meeting which was held at tho Seven Stars , Barker-gate , where Mr . Fclkin waa duly elected to represent the district of Nottingham . We , the Chartists of liadford , lost no time in laying the matter before our noxt District Council Meeting , and having mado tbo strictest inquiry ia order to find , if possible , the writer of these documents , without effect , wo became impressed with the belief that there
were enemies in tho camhand as our friends in Nottingham did not ' sift tho matter m reference to themselves , we deemed it our duty to inform the Executive , through tho Star , of what was going . on . Wo would suggest that , : « s far as practicable , the names of correspondents bo inserted , so as to prevent any misunuorstamimg tn future . And we cannot conolu . lo wiS-**"» an apojosy for any uneasiness which we may have caused the Executive or Mr .- Aruott , as nothing but good feeling , and an ardent desivo loi tho iivosponty of the movement , induced us to give the subject publicity . Truatins this explanation will prove satisfactory , ' I remain , on beha lf of tho Chartists of
Xovf llmlford , March 25 th , 1351 . James Buown , Sec . I . S . —If Mr . Arnott will examine the list of places entitled to fend deh « : ate | to the Convention , ho will suo that Radford is not included , huta'localily connected with the district of Nottingham ; Therefore , - in . laying tho matter be ' ore tho public , we , of course , sent our ; o \ vn uamoand address .
