To Mr . Proat , 229 , Strand , London . Dartford , Jan . 2 , 1841 . SIR , —I have much pleasure in stating to you that Blair ' s Gout and Rheumatic Pills haye been of the sreatost service to me . Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Soiatica ; the agonising pain which I suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a period , baffles any description which I can possibly give of my then miserable state . I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical advice , including that of two physicians in London , without obtaining any essential relief . I went to Margate , and bad

Two remarkable eases ( selected from many others ) communicated to Mr . Noble Bookseller and Printer 23 , Market Place , the Agent for Hull . Mr . Plaxton , of Cottingham , five miles from lull , had long been afflicted with a most severe internal disease .

For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all , evrn being compelled to stand at his meals . His next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of " Parr ' s Pil s , " purchased a small box for him , and en his calling for a second box , he told me that such had been the astonishing effects produced by one bojt , he was able to sit down , and on taking two other boxes , his p&ina nave left him ; hia appetite is good , and he is able to follow his vocation nearly as well as he has erer been in his life .

Mrs . Shaw , wife of Mr . Sbaw , yeast dealer , had been for a great length of time afflicted with a severo internal disease .

that be would haw bo objections , only that it wai illegal , and might be made legal in a few hoars , after which be would Join in the agitation for the Charter , and would be very happy to attend a meeting for the purpete of so remodelling the plan of organisation as to make it strictly legaL He left Mr O'NeU , at Leeds , with a perfect understanding that be should see him again at the delegate meeting . He , Griffin , in bis own private capacity and member of the association , wished to ask Mr . O'NeU why he did not attend the delegate meeting according to promise—to remodel tbe plan ; and not attending , why did he not join when it was made legal , or shew its illegality . That was tbe substance of the resolution which passed in Manchester , condemning the proceedings of Collins and O Neil . Mr . O'Neil said in reference to the first
question , as to wby he did not attend the delegate meeting according to promise , be did not receive the letter from Tillman till the Thursday before the meeting was to be held , inviting him to attend . He could not come in his own private capacity , aad it was then too late to call a public meeting . They ( f ? e meeting ) might blame him , the secretary at Birmingham , or Tillman , which they thought proper ; but the facts were as he had stated . Then , as to the second question , as to wby be did sot join when it was made legal ; when he first got a glance of the plan of organizition after it had been remodelled , he said to to himself , Eurely if any plan ever was legal that was , or otherwise he was himself a member of an illegal society ; but he wrote to an experienced man , who in reply to bis letter stated that the Association was illegal ; he ,
theo , stated that certain parties , in Birmingham- had used means to force him to join , which was one reason he had not done so . He would not join the Chartists of Birmingham , so long ai the present men in that town took the head of the management , nor till the Chartists could let their fellow-men hold different opinions to themselves without denouncing them as traitors , &c 4 c . Mr . Griffin having received Mr . O'Nei £ answer , said he would just take the liberty to ask another . Mr . O'NeU had frequently stated , since his arrival , that the Star had misrepresented him . Why did not he and Mr . John Collins attend a delegate meeting , which was held in Birmingham , where things migkt have been properly discussed , and a reconciliation effected ? Mr . O'Neil said , that as he
had had no previous notice of the meeting , and as it had only beea called by one party , he did not think that it was fairly convened—when a man was to be properly tried , it was nothing but just that he should have equal means of providing himself as his prosecutor—not being a party to call the meeting , and having such a short notice , was the reason he did not attend . He then spoke as to the treatment be had received from the Chartists of Birmingham , and Mr . George White , who had the columns of the Star at his command , and who had , on many occasions , calumniated both Collins and himself , and when they had sent replies , tbey never appeared . He was glad tbe Editor of the Star was present , to answer for himself , And state the reason of their non-insertion . —
Mr . Campbell said be thought that it was a contention for leadership . ( Cries of " Hear , hear . ) Mr . Hill briefly stated in reply that the joint letter of Mr . O'Neil and Mr . Collins , first alluded to by Mr . O'Neil , had been rectived at the office at a period of the week too late , for insertion in the current number , and was consequently promised for the sneceedlog week ; perceiving , however , that it appeared thai tceek in tbe Leeds Times and some other paptrs— he had omitted it in the Star of the following week : it was not hia cusvom to copy letters in the Slar from other papers . In respect to Mr . Style ' note , Mr . O'Neil had stated tbe facts . All the important particulars of that note had beengiven ; though the note itself was not given , and be did not see that tbe parties had any right to cjinplain ; as their avowed object in writing was only to give currency to / aefs , whie ) t he had done . In reference to the vote of censure , Sir . H . explained tbus : —A report of certain proceedings in Birmingham was sent
to him by a party from whom he had received several previous communications , upon whoso veracity he conceived that be could place some reliance . To is report he published in the Northern Stir . Its accuracy was disputed , and a counter statement sent by the Christian Chartist Church , wko accompanied their counter statement by a vote of censure on the Editor of the Star , couched in such terms that he ( Mr . Hill ) supposed that the parties who drew it up and sent it , could certainly never for a moment suppose it would be inserted . He appealed to all readers of the Star to say whether he had ever exhibited an unreasonable reluctance to insert therein expressions of opinion from any body of the people , even though it was a disapprobation of bis own proceedings . But there was a bound of courteous decency whieh , while careful not to overstep himself , he would not permit to be ever-stepped by others . This was one reason why he had refused insertion to the vote of censure on himself from the Christian
Ch&itists of Birmingham . He again , from this , if from no other reason , should exclude any like vote , from whomsoever it might come , if expressed in like coarse and uugentlemanly terms . Mr . Leach said that he met Mr . ONeil in Birmingham , when Lovett and Collins were released , and at the delegate meeting , the next day , Mr . O'Neil moved that the plan of organization be adopted , and called upon the country to carry it out Why had he changed ? Mr . O'Neil said he had not a printed copy with him ; it bad not then appeared in tbe Star , and he only took it from the description given of it by the delegatesbesides , he went from there to Scotland , and remained about four months , and when be got back to Birmingham again , he found that there was a different
feeling existed amongst the Chartists . He was then a member of the Union in Scotland , and Mr . Leach and others came to Scotland , requesting them to join ; they refused ; then finding that those were a number of men wh « had pursued Mr . Collins , and who had done so for a number of years , be could not join them , nor would he so long as the present men were at the head of the movement in Birmingham . —Mr . Bailey would wish to ask Mr . O'Neil why be could not join at Manchester , since they bad expressed their charity bypassing a resolution calling upon the Chartists of Englind not to destroy the portraits of tbe men who differed from them in opinion . —Mr . 0 Neil—Did the resolution sppear in the Star ? ( Voices— " Yes . " ) He did not read it , but he was glad to see that the men of Manchester bad
evinced such & degree of charity , bnt he could not join all at once , be would think about it , and if they continued to hold out the hand of fellowship , be perhaps might be constrained to join them , but he would not at that time , it would altogether depend npon circumstances . Mr . Leach thought that Mr . O'Neil and Mr . Collins must see tbelr error in not endeavoarin * to bring Birmingham to act with them , as there were already one hundred and seventy towns enrolled ; no good reason con ) A be shown why Birmingham should stand alone . —Mr . Griffin said , in reference to what Mr . O"N . said about the men of Birmingham not being favourable to Collins , he thought such a grand procession as that was to welcome him home , and the splsnrtid dinner , c early proved that the men of Birmingham were united . Then again , about not having a plan of organ : zitlon at the delegate meeting tbe dsy after the procession There was uo printed plan ; but Mr . Spnrr , the delegate from London , and others , who were present , had
every clause written in their pocket-books , and they re& <] and discussed the plan clause by clause , in such a manner as be ( Mr . G ) understood it , snd the delegates finding that Mr . O'Neil understood it , by his moving that it be confirmed , they appointed him to draw up an address to the country , calling upon tbe people to carry it out . Mr . Dan can wished to say a few words upon the subject , in tie hope of reconciling parties , aDd informing Mr . O'Neil of the feedings of the people of that p irt of Scotland in which he resided : and in reffertnea to Mr . Collins ani himself he would say , that the opinion very generally was , that Mr . Collins and Mr . O'Neil were injuring the Chartist movement : they bad not shown their disapproval , that he knew « f , by destroying his portrait , and such like ; bnt be begged to assure them that many honest men in Dundee have taken Collins ' s portrait from tbe walls of their rooms , and laid it on one side . He ( Duncan ) was very sorry fur that , as he had been an eye witness to the great popularity cf John Collins in Scotland . He had seen the enthusiasm with
which he was received when last in Scotland : he was sorry that now through Furf iXfhire and Fi'eshire , towns andplaceawith which lie ( Dancan ) was acquainted , the people did not know what to make of him .
