      or ihk LEAGUE FEAK&US O'COMOE , AT BTRWINGHAM , m > TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . Mr Deaeest Fejso > s , —I return thanks to Almighty God that I still live to address you . I gh&U " proceed calmly with my narrative , commencing from where I left off in my last . On Wednesday , the good men of Bennondsey , which 33 a district of Southwark , insisted on my visiting them for the purpose of commemorating our Monday ' s triumph . They procured the largest room in the district ; the hour for commencing was

      seven , but the place was crammed at half-past six , and at se"ren there were as many outside the win-j dows as would hare filed it over and over again . ; You will hare a report ; therefore I shall only say ; it was a most enthusiastic meeting , and 1 he result w&s » 2 s 0 SURRENDER . " I met seTeral manufMturers there , all of whom declared for the Charter . Petition sheets of the great national were ' there , and were being well signed . I tell you ,, London is now taking the lead . ;

      Now for Birmingham . And a sore -Birmingham it shall be for the villaiss . You shall hear every word and judge for yourselves . I had a letter from Mr . Thorn , informing me of the intended gathering of tie League , and praying of me to go . I at once consented , and , as at Sonthwark , I strictly enjoined film not to communicate my intentions , in order that I might really test the value of the principle , bj seeing how the people of themselves , and for themselves , would do their own work . I met Leach and Campbell , both of oar excellent Executive , at the Birmingham Station . We proceeded to the

      house of Mr . Porter , a master shoe-maker , and one j of the most upright and-uncompromising gentlemen j living . I there learned that Sturge had sent £ 50 to Collins and O'Nell , and that they had been in con- ference with the Leagne Committee , and had ] promised their co-operation and support . I asked ; what course we were to pursue , and I insisted upon no compromise on our part . No , said Leach ; and no , said Campbell ; when one of our party took aa \ amendment for the whole Charter from his pocket , ' and rea 3 it , of which we all approved . I then ; proposed aa follows : — "As soon as they submit their j proposition , I shall speak , opening the way for the \ amendment ; and if they accept the Charter as the

      means , we will promise free trade as one of the first results ; a townsman must move the amendment , as ; neither Leach , Campbell , or myself would be allowed , » nd Leach and Campbell will follow in support of ' the amendment . From the specimen we had before , and from what our friend opposite says , I know j they will attack us , but we must die game . " This : course was resolved upon ; and the next question was onx means ; when we discovered that only ' seven tickets had been given to our party , three : of which were handed to Leach , Campbell , and myself , thus leaving three strangers and four townsmen to meet a thousand of the LeagHe . The person who was to move the amendment gave me his ticket . and went in pursuit of another . - 1

      At a qnirter to twelve we started , to be early in the £ tld ; and first , let me describe the interior of the Town Hall . The organ gallery is an immense stage , capable of holding more than 1000 ; on a level with it , but railed off , are two large side galleries ; at the end of the Hall is a spacious gallery , capable of holding above 1500 ; while the body of the building will contain from 500 § to 6000 . The organ gallerj wa 3 filled with the Leagne . Abont forty overseers , intermixed with a handful of Chartist churchmen , were ticketed for that part of each side gallery which communicates with the organ gallery ; this wa 3 done to prevent any charge from the side gallery being made upon , the platform .

      As soon a 31 entered the organ gallery , the whole meeting set up a tremendous cheering and waving of hats , whereupon the ruffians in the organ gallery turned round , and npon recognising me , they set np one of the most hideous , terrific yells mortal ever heard ; they hissed and groaned , and hooted like mad devils . Nothing daunted I advanced , and Geo . Whits beckoned to me that he had reserved a place tor me in front . I moved on till I got within seven roivs of the place , when I was stopped by a solid T"ias I touehed one upon the shoulder , and said " Will you allow me to pass J" aad this was the answer :

      B , blast you , we don't want YOU here . You are no townsman , we had you here before . " " Come , let me pass . " "No , by G—d , if you attempt it we'll crack your neck ; blast him , throw him over , kill him . " * Bih , you rascally Northern Star . " " But for you we would have a repeal of the Corn Laws ; you divided the working men from U 3 . " " I did , and never will unite you until you go for my principles ; and now you say yon want a union , and this i 3 the way yon go about it . " "No , damn you , we want no union with lot . By G—d you shan't speak here to-day . " ** By G—d . Err i will . " " Damn him , pitch him over . "

      B Come , let me pass . " No , blast you ; I am a townsman , and I should like to have that seat myself , and to Kpesk too ; bnt I can't , and I am sure you shan ' t . " "Who said that all the property within twenty miles of Birmingham ought not to bs worth £ 5 3 " "I did , if the people were fired upon , and I repeat it bow . I am not to be intimidated . " " Damn him , throw him over , throw him over . " " You had better not . " Ah , yon phyiieal-force rascal , we want no physical force here . " "So it appears . " I then turned to a rery gentlemanlike looking man , one of the most violent , and said , " will you just favour me with yonr

      nsiBe and address ! " " No , ' said he , "I wocud see * oc damped tibst . " " Yor abe a gestlekas , " said I . Ail the time that this was going on , there was an elderly gentleman at my right , who frequently reeo unrated against the ruffianism of the bloodhounds . Muntz made his appearance , when the ruffians shouted and opened their mouths , and then vrSh eyes flashing fire , turned to me , and said , " you nay go home ; if you attempt to speak you Baall be strangled , by G d . " " Well , well , wait , " said the gentleman on my right , " the honest man ' s cheer ^ 21 come by and bye . "

      I should now tell you that the Organ Gallery is eaiirely cut off from the body of the Hall ; no approach to it : and when the people saw the opposition to my advancing to the front , every speaker 'fras interruped by shonts of " Let Feargus come dsnra ; " " Come down , Feargus , come down . " All this time , one fauhful aud brave fellow , is . his working coat aad apron , stood close to my back , determined that I sieuld only be struck behind &nmga him . Whenever they jostled me , he clung * ° me , with bis face like scarlet . So the whole business proceeded , while Weston , Attwood , and

      Artiurr O'Xeil were speaking . Not one word could fe heard but by those close to the speakers ; but when the Charter was mentioned , then was a murnrcr amongst the League , " No Chabteb , " When O'Seil had concluded , those nearest him cheered ; sad upoa being ashed what he said by those behind , tie answer was , he says he won ' t move any amendasat ; then another shout was set up , and cries of u that's it—no amendment . " The re-Bolaiioa was then going to be put , when I roared out , " Mr . Mayor . I have a word to say . " Now the yelling was like hell let loose . I was in the middle of the infernal infuriate pack . " Throw him over . " "Don ' tlet him pass . " They were about

      eight deep between me and the Mayor . I shoved forward until I got within three of the front , whtn I w&s jammed by seven ruffians into a pen or desk , my back against the back rail and my arms by my side . " Come , come , " said I , " seven to one is too mnch ; whit do you mean t do you want to murder me V "Yes , damn you , " said one ruffian , " by God if you speak well hang you . I wish I had a rope round your aeck . " If the Mayor says I am to speak no power &all prevent me / ' All this time Muntz , Douglas , O'Xeil , Collins , and the old rump were just on my right , and never once interfered , although my life * ras not worth one minute ' s purchase . At length , a gentleman with mustachios , who had witnessed all , * && to the ruffian ? , " come , come , thiB won ' t do ,

      this is too bad j" he stooped down to the Mayor , and then getting between me and the mmmrfr ^ fc slapped me npon the shoulder and said " all right , you are to speak . " Be then , like a gentleman , assisted me in jumping from the midst of the ruffians on to the stage , and when I did , the organ forces set np such an infernal yell as never was heard , while the voices of the fustians soon drowned their hideous eroans .

      ' The Mayor said that he would not take It upon himself to decide whether or not I should speak , but would put it to the meeting , when nearly every hand was held up except the bands of the ruffians ; and as the Times has undertaken to give an opinion of my speech , in which the reporter says that I assured the meeting that Mnntz , Donglas , and Salt were now to be relied upon , I assure you , on my honour , I never once mentioned the name of Muntz , Douglas , or Salt , from the beginning to the end . I tell you what I did say . I said that if they wanted a Repeal they should first have the Charter , as a means . That

      the Whigs deceived us before , and if they deceived us again it should be the people ' s own fault . That I would surrender my life before I would Burrender one hair ' s-breadth of the Charter . That the honest portion of the middle classes who would join us were likely to be sincere , as they had been tardy in acknowledging our principles ; that they had looked before they leaped , and if we began to leap together npon sound principles , Peel and the Tories would begin to jump . That no union should be

      formed while I had life , unless every principle of the Charter was acknowledged as the means ; that upon ihose conditions , and none other , would my party ever join .. That I could not reply to any of the speakers , as 1 had not heard one word ; neither would I oppose the resolution which I had not heard ; that those things were only done in the House of Commons ; that , of course , if it did not acknowledge the supremacy of our principles , a townsman would move , and another would second , an amendment for the Charter , which I would support .

      No amendment was moved , but , as Leach well observed , the principle and feeling of the meeting were tasted by the show of hands that I should be heard . Leach , Campbell , and myself , left the Hall together , and then we learned that the person who was to have moved the amendment had given me his ticket , and could not for any money procure another for his own admission to the organ gallery . Had one been moved , it would have been carried by a * majority of twenty to one ; but while that course would have been most satisfactory , the ruffians in their resolution have acknowledged the whole principles of the ChaTter .

      Of course , Leach and Campbell conld not speak , as no amendment was moved , and not being townsmen , they woald not otherwise , and I doubt even then , be allowed . When we retnrned to Porter's , I asked Leach , Campbell , and the others , how I performed my part of the duty ? " Gallantly , capital , " was the reply . Let that answer the Times . I look for the approval of my own party only .

      Now , working men , I most solemnly swear and declare that I would rather live nnder an irresponsible military despotism , with trial by court martial , than live under the government of a middle class , with trial by jury , they being jurore . Had they murdered me on Friday , who would try them ? Some of the murderers themselves . Had any intemperance of mine led to the slightest violation of the peace , who would try me ? The conspirators themselves . What chance , then , have we .

      So ended a day in my life . And now , to prevent such another scene , I have to request that at least fifty Chartists will accompany their leaders to the platform of every mixed meeting ; it is necessary ; and should another be called in the Town Hall , let the people meet early , and not allow the organ gallery to be opened one moment before the other entrances are also opened ; let them post themselves in each of the side galleries , which command the platform , " and on no account allow them to enter until all are freely admitted .

      I was to have been in Birmingham on Monday next , the 28 th ; but in consequence of the London tailora coming out on that evening , and being long pledged to them , I am compelled to postpone my visit till Wednesday next , the 2 nd of March , when I sh'all remain Wednesday and Thursday , and till noon on Friday , on which evening I am engaged to the Chartists of Westminster . I cannot dismiss the subject without returning my warmest thanks to the brave working man , who

      never left me for a moment , and who tried to crush his way after me even to the platform . I thank him from my soul ; he is a brave fellow . I also feel much indebted-to the gentleman who stood on my right , and to whom I have before referred , and to whom I can appeal for the truth of my every assertion . I also tender my best thanks to the gentleman with moustachios , who , I believe , saved my life , while Muntz , Douglas , and the Christian Cnartists coolly looked on .

      The ruffians know that they can only GET RID OF FEARGUS BY DESTROYING HIM ! I now write from Nottingham—glorious Nottingham—Nottingham that drove the rascally Whigs from office , and that , upon the next trial , will driTe the two Whig Baronets from its representation . We had such a demonstration yesterday as Nottingham never before witnessed . There is no use in guessing at numbers , except by the Whig Etandard ,

      and here we have them . Twenty thousand they estimated the Rancliffe meeting at , while they admitted that ours was more than double the size . It rained the whole time of the procession , but we had not one sugar or salt man among us . The brave men of Sutton-in-Ashfield sent seven carriages full , a large procession , and two splendid bands , and they are distant fourteen miles . I never was hailed with greater enthusiasm . Nothing but the Charter will go down here .

      Good God ! working men ! in my route I passed by the bastile , and saw aged fathers aud mothers from the top windows , peeping like felons through strongly-barred windows . I saw pale-faced young men and women , while our new friends luxuriate on money plundered from them for want of the Charter . We had another glorioas meeting here last night a Mr . Beens kindly gave U 3 his whole establishment , and the large rooms , all comnranicating , we could . have filled twenty time 3 . Harrison and Bair ? tow were elected to the Convention . Sweet , Russell and

      other geod fellows were all at their post , and although Harrison and Bairstow had a majority in the election over Taylor , yet does that noble little fellow neither show or feel the least jealousy ; he works harder to recommend himself hereafter by the same mean 3 which has insured success for hi 3 older friends . . This is as it ought to be . 1 learned for the first time that this Bean Taylor is the same man for whose speech I WAS TRIED and convicted , and now 1 rejoice in suffering for so good a fellow ; before , I thought he was some musty old pickpocket preacher .

      To-day I go to Derby . To-morrow to Longhborough . On Tuesday I am to address the men of Knightsbridge , near London ; on Friday the men of Bennondsey again ; on Monday the tailors ; Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday , the men of Birmingham ; Friday night , Chartists of Westminster ; on Monday , Tuesday , and Wednesday , I deliver three addresses " upon the Land , the Repeal of the Union , and upon general policy , at Manchester ; and although I intend to take some repose , I shall now sleep but little nntil we decide the question and terms of our future agitation . My next tour will be Cheltenham , Brighton , and Southampton .

      Chartists , look to London . It is going on bravely . Chartists , do not join the moral-force Whigs in their burningB , shootings , and hangings . If you do , it will go from the straw man to the flesh man and the house ; and , believe me , you will be in the dock , while the instigators will be in the jury box , ready to testify their innocence by declaring your guilt . We are near the auction day . I fully subscribe to every word written by the Editor , and published in the 2 nd edition of lost week ' s Star . They will now move heaven and earth to get possession of our movement ; but thet shall not ! If they do , ice are lost for ever . Still we will join them , but it shall be npon our own terms . We are the great majority .

      We will not refuse their honest co-operation . They know that they cannot effect their object otherwise than by a strong manifestation of popular will , or by the adoption of the Charter . The former they cannot have without us , the latter they will not have if they can avoid it . You must now make up your minds to two things . You must make every one of your leaders work double , till the thing is settled , and yon must swear to defend them ; and should the moral-force Whigs murder the poorest man of our party ( which is not unlikely , )

      WHY THEN— I am , My beloved Friends , Yonr faithful servant and brother labourer , Resolved to battle with the blistered hands , and fustian jackets , and unshorn chins , and to DIE RATHER than

      SURRENDER AN HAIR'S BREADTH OF OUR CHARTER ! Feargus O'Connor . Lopghborough . —I have just returned from the Loughborough demonstration , it was a fine gathering of the working classes in this agricultural district . We had a capital muster in the market place , where the Derby resolution was unanimously adopted . I now go back to Derby . It was arranged that we were not to have any procession ; however , without any concert , some thousands attended at the

      Station with a carriage and four , and so numerous were they that I was obliged to address them in front of the hotel . All promised well . The Theatre was taken , and at seven o ' clock it was crammed in every part , all the manufacturers , shopkeepers , neighbouring gentlemen and parsons of the dissenting order were there . I never saw such a muster of that order , and I never saw so well-behaved a set of middle class men . Nott , a working man was in the ohair ; a working man moved and seconded what I trust will be adopted all over the country , as the Derby resolution . It was as follows : —

      " That this meeting declares its unqualified approval of the principles of free and unfettered trade , while at the same time , it denies either the competency or the right of the representative body , as at present constituted , to make so great a change as that Bought by the advocates of a repeal of the Corn Laws ; as any advantage derived by that measure would not be for the benefit of the working classes ; and this meeting further protests against any partial alteration being made to affect any separate class or interest , pledging itself in common vrith the people of all other parts of the United Kingdom to look with a jealous eye to the

      application of the People ' s Charter , for the settlement of those many and conflicting questions which now agitate the public mind , always keeping in vi « w the absolute necessity of legislating justly for all instead of partially for a class ; under these circumstances we pledge ourselves not to agitate for any other measure than the whole of those principles embodied in the document entitled ' the People ' s Charter , ' and to which we loek as a means of attuning all those jast and beneficial results which are ever sure to flow from free aud unftttered legislation , and from which alone can emanate national greatness , free trade , respect abroad , and peace , law , and order at home . "

      I spoke for two hours and eight minutes to the resolution , and they tell me that I have done them good by my speech—they say it was a good one . They received £ 16 9 a . for my services , which enabled the Chartists to pay off all their debts , aud provide for the Convention . There were two parties here , the O'Connorites and the "Sensible Chartists . " I enrolled several new members after our meeting , and I rejoice to say that the good leaders of the Liberal Operative Association joined , and took out their cards . -

      You may suppoBe that our non-intentioned procession was not bad , when the Whig Mercury of this morning gives us much more than a thousand . I assure you I never met a finer set of fellows in my life than the Derby Chartists . I left them this morning in high—very high spirits , and after my speech they passed a unanimous resolution to stand by me and the Charter . The Nottingham Demonstration has paralysed the Whigs . On the whole , wo never were half so strong or powerful , and all we now have to do is to stand together . I leave this , after I speak to-night , for London , to be ready fer Knightsbridge to-morrow .

      F . O'C . Thursday night . [ This should have appeared in our last , but , in the hurry and worry in which Mr . O'Connor ' s many laborious and extensive correspondence keep him , it had been accidentally misdirected , and so w : is not received until after the paper was printed . — Ed . N . S . ] - '

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Demockats , —I promised , last time I addressed you , to give you an account of our position in the various towns I then intended vlsitiug . Having left Sheffield I arrived in Nottingham , and held two excellent meetings in the Democratic Chapel . I was present at the dinner in the King George on Horseback . The Nottingham Chartists are men of the right stamp . No division is tolerated among them . Union is their watchword . I next went to Loughborough ; met Skevington ; had a gecd meeting ; they were making arrangements for F . O'Connor ' s visit .

      I proceeded to Leicester , where I met my friend BairBtow . I addressed the Leicester Chartists , first in the Shakespere&n Rooms , Mr . Cooper ^ in the chair The room is capable of containing seven or eight hundred persons , and was densely filled . I afterwards addressed the people in the Town Hall , which was granted by the Mayor on the occasion , Mr . O'Higgina , President of the Irish "Universal Suffrage Association , took the chair . There are upwards of eight hundred enrol ed members in Leicester ; indeed Cobpet and Bairstow have done much good for our cause in Leicester . I had tho next meeting in London , and by the exertions of the good men of London , backed by O'Conncll and M'Douall , Chartism bin a more neal thy position now , in London , tkau ever it was before . The trades are moving , and let them but come out , and there is not the least doubt but ouo sttuggles will soon be crowned with success .

      I next proceeded to Bristol ; attended twa meeting ; whilst there the Doctor held a great meeting on Brandon Hill , Bristol . Ten thousand persons present I have seen Mrs . Frost and her family . My heart grieved whfen I looked upon her venerable face ; and when I bethought me of her noble husband , I almost cursed the miscreants who transported him , and the other good men , his co-patriots , and I inwardly vowed never to cease in my humble exertions until the syttein shall be dostroyed that victimized them . : After the Executive had concluded their business in Bristol , they attended a meeting in Bath , from which place I came to Gloucester . I did not flad Chartism in that healthy position I could have wished . 1 told Sida way that when cards-were disposed of , the

      money ought to be remitted to the Executive , and not be made use of by any party ; he could not even pay me then fur the cards he had issued . I hope I may not have to allude to this disagreeable affair again . From Gloucester I went to Coventry ; met my esteemed friend Mahon ; held a good meeting in Coventry , and arrived in time to be at the Birmingham meeting . O'Connor > poke at the meeting ; the vast bulk of the people insisted he should be heard , although the Cora Law Repealers on the platform cried out several times , " Throw him over the railings . " However , it was no go , the people insisted he should have a hearing . Ninetenths of the meeting was with him , we could have carried any thing , but owing to some mistake or other , there was no amendment for the Charter ; mind , the resolution adopted was for a full representation . I came to BiZston from Birmingham in company with Mr .

      Duffey , late of her Majesty ' s College at Notthallerton . Mr . Doffey spoke in the afternoon , I spoke at night ; forty members enrolled . Bilston , owing to the talented and honest exertions of Mr . Stiran is , perhaps , aa flourishing a district as any I knew of in the cause of Chartism . On Menday , Messrs . Stiran , Duffey , Cadley , and myself , with about five hundred of the Bilaton Chartists , attended a great public meeting held at the public office , Wolverhampton ; it was adjourned to the square , there were present at least 5 , 000 persons . Mr . Wynn , a Com Law Repealer , was elected chairman . Mr . Walker , another Corn Law Repealer , - moved the first resolttion , to the effect that the Corn Lew was a bad law , and the way to repea ! it was by giving to the people a fall , fair , and free representation , as defined by the People ' s Charter . Mr . Mogg seconded the resolution in an excellent speech .

      The mover of the resolution is a very wealthy manufacturer , and he said he used to think that the present House of Commons would Repeal the Corn Law , hut he was now convinced to the contrary . He intended to go on that tack no longer , but to agitate for the future , for the whole Charter . This waa received with loud cheers . A memorial to the Queen was adopted , prayirrg her to call men to her councils who will grant a full representationto the whole people , as defined by thePeople ' s Charter , and the two Members for Wolverhampten are to present the memorial to her Majesty .

      The Com Law Repealers of Wolverhampton have done all the business themselves and went the whole hog for the Charter . I shook hands withth « Com Law

      - 'Brothers , our position now is / a . proud one—a commanding one . Let us be but ' true to ourselves—let us have no recrimination—let us forget the past , but be watchfu . for the future . No flinching , no expediency ; let us not abate a jot of the Whole Chattel ; but let ns endeavour to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies . I am extremely obliged to the members of the asaoeiation who forward to me from time to ' . time * the different newspapers of the kingdom , this is absolutely necessdry . bec&uia all the information in those papers are cartfully kept together and laid before the Executive , so that whenever any victory is obtained by our party ; then information ought to be forwarded to me immediately , and whenever the pressgang attacks us , then that paper ought also to be fowaided to me ; the Executive . can decide much better what | cour 8 e to pursue when they are put into possession of the actual state of the occurrences of the day .

      I find that in many places I have been in that my pamphlet is eagerly sought after . It is now out of print . I feel satisfied that that bumble production has rendered some service to our cause . It is my intention to bring out a seond edition of the work , with a wrapper to it , and to give three or four other tables , which mast be of some value to sincere lovers of liberty . Our sacred cause is spreading rapidly , nothing can arrest its progress unless it be our own divisions , but thank heaven there is leaa of that now than ovtr there has been . We are in a fair way now to the attainment of our freedom ; let us be firm and we are sure of success . Yours , in the cause of Democracy , John Campbell , Secretary .

      SAUFORD —The Chartist Youths held their weekly meeting on Wednesday latt , when Mr . Thomas Hindle lectured on the present distressed state of the country and its remedy . BOLTON —On Sunday evening , the large room belonging to the Chartists of this town was densely filled by a respectable and attentive audience to hear a lecture by Mr . Griffin , of Mancester , who dwelt upon the evils / of class legislation , such as competition , over speculation , and the misapplication of machinery ,

      the New Poor Law , the laws of primogeniture , the Rural Police Law , the Tithe and Church Rate system , the Game Laws , and / many others , all the effects of class legislation . He touched upon the merits of Teetotalism and Socialism , and proved that the agitation for the Charter was superior to any other method of agitation in abolishing net only the Corn Laws , feat every other bad law which at present disgraces the statute book , The lecturer enrolled many names to the Association .

      MEETiNG .-rOn Monday evening week , a public meeting was held in the Temperanca Hall , called by a requisition , the . Mayor in the chair . The hall was crammed . The object of the meeting waB conjointly to condemn the scheme of Sir Robert Peel on the Corn Laws , and t » pass resolutions in favour of the Charter . A Committee , consisting of Repealers and Chartists , was called previously , to get up the resolutions . A resolution was agreed to by both parties on the Committee , which was afterwards condemned by the Chartist body , of which the following is a copy : — " That while this meeting believes that the entire abolition of the Corn Laws would relieve the present distress , and save the country from ruin , it is convinced that there can be no permanently good and impartial Government until every man of twenty-one years of age , of sane

      mind , and untainted by crime , is effectually secured by all neeiful measures in the free exercise of the elective franchise , and the other numerous evils now affecting the liberties and privileges of the suffering masses are removed , by wise legislation , from the statute-book . " The above resolution was condemned by the Chartist body , and another substituted , which was ultimately carried unanimously , and which was as follows -. — "That this meeting is of opinion that the only way in which the people of this country can be secured in the full possession of the fruits of their industry , is by extending the elective franchise to Universal Suffrage , protecting the voter by the Ballet , by Annual Parliaments , no Property Qualification , the Payment of Members , and by taking the election in such limited districts as shall secure tho effective operation of these

      principles . " CITY OF LONDON . —Last Sunday morning the Committee of Management of the Institute , 55 , Old Bailey , met in the same , as usual . The following motion waa agreed to : — That this Committee is of opinion that it is injudicious to mate any exclusive pecuniary call on the shaveholders . of this Institute for the support of the same , without first trying every other rational means to induce the friends of the cause of freedom to co-operate with them in carrving out the principles for which this Institute has Been established .

      ABERDEEN . —On Monday sight last , a festival was held in the largo Pavilion , Newmarket-street , in honour of our talented schoolmaster , Bronterre O'Brien . Flags and banners decorated the walls , roof , &o ,, and a splendid band was in attendance , which played : several favourite airs during the evening . When Mr . O'Brien entered , he was loudly and repeatedly cheered . The party were addressed first by Mr . Nicolaon , who responded to the sentiment— "The people the legitimate source of all power .

      Mb . O'Bbijen loctilred on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings , to a large and respectable audiences . We never neard any lecturer go so deep into his subjects , or lay bare the corruptions of the system in a clearer light than did Mr . Q'Brien . We have seldom heard or seen any public speaker who gave such general satisfaction as O'Brien ; the good resulting from his labours amongst us will be incalculable . He has converted many of our opponent ? , roused the apathetic , confirmed the wavering , satisfied all parties , removed prejudices from the minds of many , regarding his own character , principles , and professions .. And his earnestness in the cause , his desire to see justice reigD , wrong annihilated , vice crushed , and virtue established on the ruins of Corrupt aristocracy , may be judged from the fact , that ho' lectured there three hours and a half on the first night , and four hours and a half on the second night .

      MR . JOHN DUNCAN , MINISTER OF THE CHRISTIAN CHARTIST CHURCH , DUNDEE , versus THE NATIONAL PETITION OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib ., —I addressed several letters to the people of Scotland on the National Petition and its rejection by the Scottish Convention ; Mr . Duncan stood forward , although not personally alluded to , to combat my arguments , with what success the resolutions adopted for and against the National Petition in Scotland alone can pro ve . .. ¦ ¦ : ' - . '''¦ ¦ ¦ •' . ¦ ¦" . ¦ ¦¦¦ .. '¦ V : : The question of its adoption being in ray opinion now settled in the most praiseworthy spirit by my countrymen , it only remains for me to address inyaeif to Mr . John Duncan ; and in doing bo , I may remark that I have a very great dislike to come into collision with any man and would have passed by Mr . Duiican ' s last lottcr in silence , had it not been for his personalities , and the sneering , illiberal nature of bis communication . I will , however , content myBelf with making Mr . Duncan answer himself , employing as few of my own observations as I can well dispense with .

      Mr . Duncan—The Dostor ' s remarks are rather of a rambling nature . Answer—Because my letter was an answer to his , and the rule in such cases is follow your leader . Mr . Duncan—Until the Doctor converts all friendly to the Charter to his opinions on the subject of Repeal ef the Union with Ireland , he hasne right to mix up the one with the other . ; Answer—On the Repeal question no conversion was needed . The people were convinced ¦';¦' ' and thediffoience between Mr . Duncan and myself arose from the fact that Mr . D . supposed the whole people adopted his view , whilst I believed they had adopted justice to all aa their motto , and therefore Ireland's wrongs aa England ' s grievance .

      Mr . Duncan—On the Poor Law , I deny that the Doctor or any section of our body has a right to introduce his own OT their own peculiar views into a document intended for adoption by the whole Chartist body , including , aa it does , many who dissent from these vjewe . Answer—All England is the section here alluded to , and I also deny that Mr . Duncan , backed by al l Scotland , has not any right whatever to object to the expression o English opinion on the accursed Poor Law ; besides If wo placed Mr . Duncan ' s dissenters against the English section of Poor Law opponents , and were guided by such a principle of concession to opponents , we may as well give up , piecenieai , the principles of the Charter , because certain middle-class Gnartists have certain ¦ views on the education test , and household and no property qualification claims ; no expediency *

      Mr . Duncan—The Doctor absolutely confounds the Chartists , as a body , w ith Peter Murray M'Douoll . Answer—If'thi 3 " wilful mistake" arises from ^ the number of capital I ' s in my lettttr , I would refer Mr . Duncan to his own . If the sneer arises from a determination on my part always to identify myself with the Charter , the charge sits so pleasantly on my back , that I would recommend Mr . D . to try that remedy for an uneasy political conscience . Mr . Duncan—The Doctor has the strangest opinion on the power of the legislature . This may lead men to consider him conceited and arrogant . .

      Answer—What will the following remarks of Mr . D . produce ? "The measure which I would consider necessary far the Balvation of the country Dr . M'Douall hatdly ever alludes to . ( Pity Mr . D . was not chairman of the Executive , with two votes . ) Indeed , with the exception of Mr O'Brien ( and myself , his disciplej none of the leaders grapp / e with , the whole system , but simply nibble at corners , and these not the most important either . " My nibbling conceit cannot of course be compared with the above mountain of modesty . Mr . Duncan condemns the mention of Prince Albert ' s income : so do the middle class and all the Corn Law repealers ; but not on the same plea , because Mr . Duncan conceives the Petition represents only the views of its framer 8 . He thinks real grievances are overlooked : smaller ones , like the Poor Law and the

      National Debt , introduced . He thinks the people should be made thoroughly acquainted with the working of the present laws and institutions . He would show how other or different laws would rem ove the evils , and then , after his process of enlightenment , the people , to a man , he saya ; would rush forward to sign a petition for such reform , whether parlicttfar giitvancea ivere enumerated in it .- Or ttot , \ But , says he , no such knowledge is possessed ' H > tye great man . This wind up is rather strange , considering the grea efforts made by Mr . Duncan , and the decided political information imparted by the labours of Mr . O'Brien . I freely anticipated that . Mjv Duncan would have given us a practical illustration of what he had done , and what he could do , with a Scottish Petition outshining by far the lesser luminary of the English Executive .

      Mr . Duncan—If the majority -were to decide that we were all to join the holy Catholic church , does he ( the Doctor ) mean to say that every man of ua was forth-¦ with to become the possessor of a crucifix ? Answer—Speaking for myself I would not be disposed for expediency sake to take up the crucifix of tue Irish Church to-plena ' * - the priests , any more than the creed of a Christian Chartist Church for the sake of conciliating the fanatics . Mr . Duncan—Let the majority decide on the course to pursue , taking care that their decision does not interfere with the private opinions of members of-our body on other subjects . Answer—This is unsophisticated expediency . Sir . DuBcan—The petition was concocted by one or two individuals .

      Answer—They were the wrong one * . The Charter was also the act of six , but the document of the many ; and that , of courao , was got up in a manner Mr . Duncan will not tolerate again , ; unless he is ilrst consulted , like Roebuck and Ward , before they would vote on principle . Mr . Duncan—i do not see why the opinion held by Dr . M'Douall or John Duncan , or the opposite , should beamatterof concern to the working man . Answer—On the same ground , Mr . D . ' s opinion of Mr . O'Brien and himself can have still less to . do with the readers of this spicy correspondence . Mr . Duncan—When the day of unmasking arrives , a proportionate share of masked faces will . be found south of the Tweed . Does the Doctor not think so ? _ Answer—Mr . Duncan knows his own friends and correspondents south of the Tweed better than Ido . ' ' - ¦' ¦ ¦ ¦ " ¦• - •; V " : ¦"¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ ' : "' : ¦ : ' ¦

      In cenclusion , I have not , and I need not attempt to throw a new light on thesubjeot ; oince I can have the advontage of instruction from aoith of the Tweed , where old Cob&ett said all the feelosophers and special pleaders were to be fouud . I leave the subsequent instruction of the readers of the Star to Mr . Duncan , iahd unless some personal remaikmay again be applied , I shall take no further trouble with a correspondence which must have spilled so much ink , or wasted so much paper . I am , Si " . Years , in the cause , ¦ P .. M . M'DOWALL .
