      TO THE FUSTIAU JACKETS , THE BLISTERED HASDS , ASD THE TJSSHOKN CHI ^ S . ill BELOVED FSIESDS , Iesmeio Leeds last night ( Wednesday ) for the pajpcee , as far as I could , ofearrying oat the Irishes flf those delegates assembled at Birmingham , who entertained the charges against the Executive . I Tfas but badly able to leave home ; however , I never Isreiinchoi from the performance of my duty . On jjj- axrisalhere , I learned that a meeting was to be ieldaieigM o ' clock , in ihe Association Room , for fhe purpose of hearing a Report of the Delegates to the Bimingaam Conference , Yon are aivarethat

      ibr some ume past , . a very great disagreement ha 3 prevailed in iMs locality amongst the Chartist body . I -was in hope , that as mj coadoct bad been m * de in part tie bone of contention , my presence would ieiiistnnBenial in prodneing a beiter feeling for the fatnre ; and as von , and yon only , have a virrnons JBieresl ia the accomplishment of our object , yon will fcepleas-rd to learn that I was not disappointed Mr . £ nz £ T , of Leeds , has for some time taken a prominent pan in exposing what he though : to be the err&rssnd ineonsisiencies of myself and the Editor of 2 ne Northern Star . After three hours' discussion , however , earned on in the n * osi friendly manner ; and after having answered every charge openly Bade , and every insinuation whispered against

      jne , one of yonr « rder rose in the middle of ihe meeting , and proposed a Tote of thani 3 io me for my present and past exertions in the Charnsi cause . 32 ns w& 3 seconded by acclamation , snd carried nnanimonsly , and with load cheering . 33 ms yoa will find that I have * been instrumental in allaying those angry &eling 3 in that locality in which they have been most bitterly cherished . Upon my leaving ins Association Rocm , a

      deputation , consisting of Messrs . Hobson and Fraser , -waited npon me , for the pnrpose of inritbg me to address the wor&ing people in the large room of Jhe Commercial Buildings this night . To this propoafion I readfly ^ ^ ssentedjin ' the bopenf completing the good work of le-nniting . So far 1 nave explained 4 SJespeet 3 lieedsjand now , allow me to have a word wi > n yon npon the general questions of " discnion . * ' denunciation , " and " disagreement . "

      Ton who have taken part in this movement , haTe ^ afieient sagacity to discern the real motives of men , even through broien fragments that fall from their Ens . Yon put all these together , and make yonr own comments npon them ; and baring Btndied them , I think that the meanest intellect among you will have come to the conclusion that in whatever form quarrel originates , ii is sure to terminate in an attempt to destroy or injnre Peaegcs O'Co ^ sob . THr I could bear , and have long borne , from my open and avowed enemies . 5 but when I see the same means of destruction resorted to by professing

      friends , then I roust look oeyond mere personal comity for the cause . And in what do 1 discover it ? In this fact , that takings lesson from the distracted and inmSiating state of Ireland , —which I trace to ihe circumstance of keeping np a paid staff of hired and ixterested agitators , who hoM abuse in veneration because ii ia the spring of their wealth , and ftjio look npon jnsaea as an enemy tecsose it wouH " destroy their trade ; " I say , with thi 3 lesson before me , I have resolved ihat England , to whom I have been made a present , shall not fall into that snare , from which , if allowed , I -wonld have guarded my own

      country ; and for endeavouring to do which I was exiled from her shores . I rejoice at the opportunity afforded to the hundreds of workfc-g man assembled at Birmingnam of jndging for themselves They witnessed , and with sorrow , the manner in Tfhich some of yonr ^ professing friends would have fcnmiBatea ' me , in order to pave their own way for a lucrative engagement in the ranks of our opponents . They know that so long as 1 live no professed Chartist shall have a pecuniary interest in the confinaancfi of abuse . They know that they hate me Tjecsuse 1 stand in the way of thnr . dishonourable promotion ; and yon shall know it also .

Hesbt Yescett , when his professions and his acts ceased to square with our rules of principle ? ~ Wa 31 not " denounced" for expressing a doubt as to the political integrity of Mr . Wuuahs ?

      and swinish multitude , " finds ample consolation , in a alary of SIX POUNDS A-WEEK , for the loss of yonr tt sweet voices f and donbtless his enviable position is an inducement to others to follow in bis ¦ eonrse I These are ibe men in whose way I stand . 5 Chese axe the parties , who by private letter writing ; ij secret conspiracies , and by open denunciation , ¦ when they dare , would destroy Feabges O * Cox > ob and the Northern Star .

      Ihose gra-lemeu . Do not misunderstand ms . I am not opposed to ihe system of paying Chartist lecturer ? - On the contrary , I approve of it ; and was lie first 10 Bnggesi it j—as the labourer is worthy of his hire : but I do object to men making nse of popularity as a means of recommending themseh-es to those valuable omces bestowed by enr opponents . Uow , my friends , you will not understand any sentence of tbi 3 letter to apply to the i-xeennve ; hut , on the contrary , my imitation to 3 on , as woriingi bonest Chartasts , is to join with me , heart and land , in an endeavonr to settle the disagreeable and

      unpleasant controversy respecting the Executive without doing an injustice to any man , or without entailing any permanent injury npon our cause 23 y impression is , that many of the resolutions seni ^ or publication in ibe Northern Star were imprndent , nnjnst , and unwise ; while some of the letters from different localities were written in a spirit of vindictiveness , —evincing , to say the least , s bad taste , Upon the other hand , I would now implore the * Executive to enter kto a calm consideration of the question , before any committee that ihe country may appoint ; and that pending such

      invessg&icn , and any disensasn which may take "place between any member of the Exeeatire , on iehalf of that body , and > Ir .

      tton ,- - and recommendation , the Chartist body was placed in a situation to gain so signal a triumph a ? that achieved at Birmingham ! But no ] Like the oppressors of the English White slaves , who are the professing friendsjof the black man ' s liberty , it is the eusjom . with some to look for mole-bills of abuse , while they pass over the mountains of service that has been rendered to

      them . 1 have never taken you by surprise . I have never told you that yon required or could accomplish a union between the capitalist and the LAiOtJBKR . I have told you that I neither dreaded the " aristocracy of land , nor the aristocracy of money : but that I did dread the aristocracy of labods : and I now tell you that if ever your cause is rained , its rain will be effected by men who are too prond to work , and too poor to Hye withoat labour .

      If ever there was a distinction drawn between the honest Chartists and the " Political Pedlars , " that distinction was striking and manif&t in the last Conference . Upon the one side was tha honest lecturer , satisfied with his thirty shillings a-weeK , as a reward ibrhia honest exertions ; and by his side the hundreds of honest toiling men who had le t the loom and thelap-board to do their country ' s work , and again to retnrn to their labour when that work was done , —too proud to bend , and too bonest for sale : while npon the other hand were the self-sufficient

      puppys , offering gilded phrases as temptations for -purchase , and using their best endeavours to prove themselves worth that standard whieh our opponents have established as the measure of wages to be given to the deserters from our ranks . Believe me tbat SIX POUSDS-AWEEK has more charms in the eyes of those whose senices are for sale , than your best thanks and implicit ctinfidGnce , when only backed by thirty shillings of salary ; and believe me , too , that yon will see many endeavonr to obtain the former , though it should be at the sacrifice of both yt u and the cause .

      Faction cannot raise its head ; designing men cannot mature their projects in so short a period as four days , and- in a large assemblage of honest men ; Hence do we recognise the valuable distinction between a large Conference of honest working men , who are again to refurn to their labour , sitting for a short period , and a small Convention ofthe leaders of the people sitting for & long period ; a period sufficiently long to enable the wily and Ibe artful to mature their factions schemes , and turn the proceedings to their own rather than to their coBntry ' s pnrposes .

      upon the whole , my friends , if we have much to feel annoyed at , we have much to cheer ns in our cohtsp . If we are persecuted , it is because we are strong ; and if we are strong , it is beeanse we have been united : and accursed be the Tillain who , for any paltry pnrpose of his own , shall now attempt to throw any impediment in the way of a re-nnion ; and thus destroy that strength which renders our party worthy the tyrant's persecution , and the bad man ' s purchase , I remain , Your true and faithful friend , Feaescs O'Cosscb . Leeds , Thnrsdav , Jan . 5 , 1 S 43 .

      P ^ S . —Thuhsdat J ^ ight . —I have jnst returned from a glorious meeting of working men held in the large reqm of the Commercial Buildings ; and , without affectation I may say , that if I have not injured the disaffected , there has been exhibited snch a powerful expression by the well-affected , as will henceforth , and for eTer , set the bickerings of the few at defiance . I spoke for nearly an hour and three-quarters ; and throughout my long address the most perfect cordiality prerailed . I should nonce thas Thursday is -not a day upon which the impoverished working men are in cash ; and yet ,

      although money was charged for admission , and although the bills announcing the meeting were not out till afternoon , yet was the spacious building well filled , though without seats . The topics npon which I addressed them were the proceedings of the Birmingham Conference , the results likely to be produced by the ' Conference , and the manner in which I myself hsd been treated by some of the professing friends of Chartism . I entered into the object and present position of the Anti-Corn Law League , and adduced Mr . Cobdkn ' s threat of raising £ 5 UO , 000 ( should the £ 50 , O 0 § fail ) to be applied to the

      corrupting « f the venal Borongbs with a view to the retnrnof Free-Trade Members . I convinced my hearers that members so returned would be mere toola of the free-trade party , impliedly pledged to opposition to the Charter , and more coercive in their measures than the defeated Whigsor the triumphant Tories . The meeting wasmuch * traekby my illustration ^ the insolent fact announced and boasted of by themselves , that Bacup and other small villages had subscribed from £ 500 to £ 10 DD to advance free-trade principles ; while t iie very slaves from whom it was plundered are pining for want under the neses of the givers . I

      further entered into the several motives which the discontented in out ranks have in abusing me . 1 stated plainly the eonrse which through life I bad pursued ; and appealed to the meeting to defend me from the ruffianly and slanderous attacks made upon me in my absence . I exposed the real object of some of our professing friends in advocating a one-sided union with : the middle-classes . I entered fully into the circumstances of my two retcrns , as M . P . for the County of Cork ; as well as into the cause . -of my being unseated by a Committee ofthe House . I explained the coarse which 1 had pursued ia 1834 , ia the Hoase of Commons , upon the question of the Corn Laws , down to the present

      time ont of the Honse of Commons . I wound np my discourse with a- speech supposed to be deli-Tered by one of those " Political Pedlars , " who , in order to juggle the people , hare recourse to extravagant declarations to prove their devotion to oub globiocs cacse "; and who , at the moment , are preparing for a start , which is always justified npon the hypocritical plea of the great divisions that exist in our ranks , and of which divisions they themselves have been the originators and promoters . This true ponrtraying of a character with which the people have unfortunately been made too familiar , wa 3 received with an applause which 1 have never seen surpassed .

      Upon t ^ e whele , then , my frienda , I thmk I may congratxiate you and myself upoB the re ? ult of my Tisit to Leeds ; and may express 3 fervent hope that that re-union of which I have established the ground-work , will not be again broken in upon by artful and designing men , who , apart from the scene of action themselves , take pride in reading of that confusion which they are instrumental in creating . At the close of the proceedings I was honoured with an unanimous vote of thanks ; and it was very

      cheering anigratifying to me to find that never was I better received in my life , than in that town in which the greatest pains have been taken to destroy me . Let this furnish a lesson to the honest man and the knave ; conveying to the one the trath , that " honesty is the best policy : " and to the other the fact , that however long his career , his tricks will be discovered in the end ; and each will be rewarded according to his desert .

      BISMIN-GHAIVI . At a CbartUit meeting held in tbe New Inn Room , Bromsgrove-street , Birmingham , on the evening of Thursday , December 28 , 1843 , Mr . Fe ) ix William Simeon , of Bristol , in the chair . Mr . Skelton , of _ Westminster , made a few prefatory observations in an excellent spirit , recommending every member of the meeting , whether accused parties or otherwise , to remember that they were , each and all , erring beings , and therefore ought to view their own acta with diffidence , snd the acts of others with charity . Mr . James Leach , of Manchester , before introducing the business of the evening , asked Mr . O'Connor ( who was present ) whether he would promise that the re poit then being taken by the Secretary should appear in the Northern Star ?

      Mr . O'Connor answered that he attended there voluntarily , with the intention of answering any questiens which might be pui to Mm by Mr . Leach , Mr . Bairstow , or Mr . Campbell , -with regard to articles in the Northern Star , and that he would undertake to say that the report should appear in the Star , for he would direct anfi indorse the report to the Editor himself . Mr . Leach then entered on the charges recently made against himself and other mtsibers of the Executive IHe parfien 1 * rly referred to the terms liars and scoundrels / ' which the Editor of the Star had publicly declared should be applied to himself and colleague if certain assertions were not

      substantiated . Mr . L . then defended himse ! f against the charges relative to money matters . —defying any one to prove that he bad ever embtzaled or misappropriated the monies of the National Charter Association . He would defy any one to prove it by going to Manchester , —and he would there find tbat such kind of mudjwould not stick to James Leach . —thear , hear ) . The time "was- come when we must find out the cause of our wide spread divisions ; if we could do that , it wonld serve greater purposes than any business that day performed in Conference . Resolutions in favour of the Execntive had been excluded from the Star by the Editor .

      Mr . Arran , of Bradford : From whence did those resolutions come ? Mr . Leach—From Leeds , Cbelmsford , Bath , Mertbyr Tydvil , York , Lisson Grove , Oldham , Bradford , Todmorden , Brighton , Newport , ( Isle of Wight ) . and other places , as also a toast at & meeting in Manchester . Mr . B 9 esley , of Accrington , asked Mr . Brook of Leeds , at what kind ef a meeting these resolutions in favour of the Executive bad been passed ? Mr . Brook replied that it was a meeting of the Chartist memiera , —and that Mr . Hill was there present , and was not allowed to speak to the resolution .

      Mr . Anthony , of Arnold , said tbe Chartists of Arnold had long been attached to Mt . Hill foi his consistency in the Editorship of the Northern Star , and also to tbe members of the Erecutive , as honest and patriotic leaders ; but they conld not approve of the conduct of the latter , "when they departed from tbe Plan of Organisation . Mr . Ge rge Wilson , of the Tower Hamlet 3 , asked of Air . Brook , the . Leeds Secretaiy , wby Mr . Hill was refused a hearing in his own defence , at the Leeds meeting ? Jlr . Brook answered that the meeting refused to hear Mr . Hill because Mr . Leach was not there , believins that botb plaintiff and defendant ought to be present at an examination . Mr . Arran asked of Mr Brook "which was the plaintiff and "which the defendant .

      Mr . BrooS replied that he , and , he also believed , tbe Leeds Chartists , considered Mr . Hill as tbe aggressor , and Mr . Leach and Dr . M'Douall as the aggrieved parties . On a question being put by Mr . Sanders of Birmingham , Mr , Leach staled tbat he himself attended at Leeds with a view of meeting Mr . Hill to discuss grievances , bat Mr . Hill did not attend the meeting for that purpose , although he had a week ' s notice of tbe meeting . Mr . WeBt , of Derby , asked Mr . Brook what the charges were which were made against Mr . Hill at tbe Leeds meeting . Mr . Brook replied that the meeting , or himself at that meeting , adjudged Mr . Hill to be in tbe light of an informer to the Government , inasmuch ta Mr . Hill bad accused aome members of tbe Executive of offences which , under other circumstances , would render them liable to transportation .

      Mr . M'Gratb , of tbe Tower Hamlets , drew back the attention of the meeting to tbe fact , that they were not tbere to inquire into any disagreement of the Leeds Chartists with Mr . Hill , but to investigate tbe grave charges recently made against tbe Execntive ^—tUeir paid servants . Mi . Vicktrs , of Belper , appealed to tbe better feelings of tbe meeting . Tbe Execntive were men long distinguished for ability and usefulness . That they bad done wrong , he , for one , thought it was deaj ^ j but tbe wroDg was little , it was light , compared with the service they bad rendered to the cause . He trusted the spi . ' of brotherhood would be cultivated by toe meeting . Mr . Leach saJd he was not there to crave sympathy or pity ; be was tbere to answer all charges manfully and fairly .

      Mr . Moses Simpson , of Hanley , said Mr . Hill was only one member of the Association , and it was not Mr . Hill bnt tbe members of tbe Association who ought to arraign the Execntive at tbe bar . He ( Mr . S . j would , as a member of tbe Association begin , at once , by charging the Executive with -violating the Plan of Organization by going into localities where they were not sent for , and charging their expenses . ( Cries of * ' Proof , proof" )—London and Birmingham ! Mr . Bernard Macartnry , of Liverpool , objected to Mr . Simpson sitting down with snch txulamation , and no facts . The quarrel , at present , was between the Execntive and Mr . Hill only . Mr . "Walter Thorn , of Birmingham , said the Executive bad visited that town without invitation . Mr Campbell replied tbat the Execntive were invited by Mr . George White , and he hoped Mr . W . had given the invitation on proper authority .

      Mr . Thorpe , of Birmingham , said the announcement by the Executive that they would visit Birmingham , apptared in the Star before any invitation was given . Mr . Le&cb said this was charge No . 1 . It was either a falsehood or a mistake ; they wers charged withal . It had been denied tbat they bad been invited to Birmingham : be could only say letters bad been received , whether they had been sent on proper authority or nof . At any rate , tbe Execntive had borne their own expenses on tbat visit to Birmingham ; nay , they bad left tbat very house in which they were then met in debt fcr their meat and lodging ; therefore , this was no charge ef misappropriating the money of the Birmingham Cbartiste ; it was no charge of dishonesty .

      Mr . Alfred Fussell , of Birmingham , said he wished now to draw the attention of the meeting to the fact , ttvat the Executive bad made charges of a conspiracy said to txisl against them , in Leeds and Hull . Mr . Hill fead defied tbe Executive to prove this charge by the proiineiion of documents . He I Mr . F . j wished that matKJr to be gone into . A member of the meeting wished the Birmingham qnestion to ba Erst settled . Mr . George White said tbat nothing was allowed the Execntive for expenses when they came to Birmingham ; and denied that he { Mr . W . ) ever invited tbe Extcutive to Birmingham .

      Mr . Leach replied tbat there was most certainly some mistake about this matter . Tbe General Secretary did receive invitations to Birmingham , and did visit Birmingham . The only matter of any import was tbe question of money . The Executive paid their own expenses on their visit to Birmingham . That was not dtnied ; and there was no necessity of pursuing tbe matter farther . Mt . Alfred FusselA , of Birmingham , said be would make another charge against the Executive : it was tfeat of misappropriating the funds of the National Charter Association . Mr . Maynard , of Southward , said he would move , " Tfcat having heard the charges of our Birmingham friends against tbe Executive , and those charges having bees tuaproven , we tstntrate tbe Executive from all blame in snch matter . " Mr . Jones , of Liverpool , seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Clancey , of Brighton , would move an amendment . He thought the resolution too hasty . He would move , " That , as serious charges have been laid against the Executive by several localities ofthe Chartist Association , we deem it inconsistent in the Executive to summon tbe delegates together at so abort a notice ; and that . we do now adjourn . " Mr . Beesley seconded the amendment . Mr . Campbell said ample time had been given for the consideration of the questions at issue . Mr . Hill bad been invited to attend that meeting but would not attend .

      Mr . Hobson , of Leeds , replied , tnst Mr . Hill bad given a challenge to tbe Executive to depute & member of their body to meet him , on pxoyex preparation , sad Sir . Hill -was therefore jus tified in refusing to attend the present mer ting . Mr . H . then detailed some of tbe circumst&DOM st the Leeds meeting , at&ting that Mr . Hill was there called'a traitor and an usaasio , and was pot dowp by a yell of disapprobation , when be attempted to -defend himself that Mr . Hill did not know a "we ?* * before band of Mr . leach ' s visit to Leeds , ia orjer to di&pate -with him : that although they tefr ^ ed to Bear Mr . Hill , because Mr . Leach was ab ^ nt , bnt yet they gave a hearing to Mr . Leach vfiien Mr . Hill was absent Mr . Hal was also charged with refusing insertion to ~ tb . B resolutions of ths Lttds meeting : the fact

      Untitled Article

      was , that those resolutions were given to Mr . Hill when he was compelled to hasten off to Hull , on private business—and that the resolutions thus failed of admission . - Mr . Leach said he had been ready to defend himself like a man , and he who refused to do so was a coward . ¦ . Mr . George White would propose another amendment , with a view to settle the question about Birmingham . It was—; "THat we regard the statement of Mr . Leach concerning the Chartists of Birmingham at the South Lancashire delegate meeting , as i being unfounded in fact : Mr . Leach having made tbat statement to justify the Executive from other charges brought against them , on other grounds . At the same time we are willing to do Mr . Leach the justice of thinking that those statements were made through ! misconception of tbe rtsal Btate of the case . "

      Mr . Welsford , of Birmingham seconded . Mr . B . Macartney said he would move another amendment with a view to a proper settlement of differences . It was , " That we the delegates representing the various Chartist localities of England and Wales now assembled in Birmingham , deeply deploring the unhappy differences now existing in the Chartist bqAyT , yet do not concfiivft ^ theHuaiTes competent to finally adjudicate © ntboso differences , bnt beg to call upon tbe country to appoint a National delegate meeting , at which both accused and accusers shall personally appear , and that all reference to those differences cease until tbe sitting of such meeting . " Mr . Clayton , of Huddersfleld , seconded . Mr . Firth , of Keighley , wished all these bickerings could cease . He for one thought when attacks were made on individuals in office , the source lay in tbe ambition of some who wanted to put down others tbat they might rise themselves .

      Mr . Leach repeated , that he bad challenged any one to prove him or bis colleagues dishonest . ' He desired nothing to be cloaked when put on bia trial . If it was considered tbat a better opportunity for going into this subject would be given to-morrow night , let such an opportunity be given . Mr . O Condor said , it bad been said , if Mr . O'Connor had not permitted tbtsa matters to appepr in the Star , these evils would not have arisen . Now he would only speak of himself and tbe part he had taken in this unpleasant controversy . He came there uninvited to Teply not to charges , but to whispers . It was said Mr . O'Connor must have sanctioned tbe attack upon the Executive . The fact was just this : — lu July last he bad met Mr . Cooper at Leeds , and

      learned from him that some dissatisfaction prevailed in Leicester and neighbourhood . He was not going to commit any breach of faith by relating what Mr . Cooper bad said , but in reply to Mr . C . ' s information , be ( Mr , O'Connor ) told him there was evidently a cabal being got up by some persons wbo were ambitions of occupying tbe places held by the Executive—( hear , kear ) . Hb then told Mr . Cooper that he would take part with tbe Executive if unfairly charged . He next met Mr . Cooper at tbe Nottingham election , and tbere again Mr . Cooper made some communications rtlecting upon D . ' . M'Douall , which Mr . O'Connor thought were erroneously entertained . He told Mr . Cooper that be was in error , that he was mistaken in Dr . M Douall , a 3 in bis ( Mr . O'Connor ' s ) opinion , M'Duunllwas a valuable

      servant in the cause . He further told Copper to abandon all thought of dissension , ts see M'Douall , to speak with him , exp ' ain with him , and shake bands . — tcheers ) . Cooper did bo , and told Mr . O'Connor tbat ha was right , that be Cooper had been deceived about M ' DJuall , and tbat they had shaken bands . —( cheers ) . Mr . O'Connor then sat down and wrote from Nottingham to tbe Star , stating that be would oppose any cabal got up against tbe Executive ; that letter was published ; be went through North and South Lancashire , parts of Yorkshire , and other places , and praised the Executive for what they had done . He learned at Preston tbat a strong feeling existed against

      tbe Executive and be fought their battles . He was the person wbo proposed a vote of thanks to them in August at the Conference—( hear , bear ) . And yet now some turned round and whispered tbat he must approve of those attacks . He most solemnly declared that neither by word or letter had he ever taken part , nor would ho—floud cheeringr—Another insinuation was that he bad conspired with Cooper to injure the Executive , and this was to be supported by a letter from Mr . Cooper to Mr . Mead . Here Mr . Campbell banded a printed placard to Mr . O'Connor , containing tbe : following extract from Mr . Coopfer ' s letter : —

      " You will see how we have spoken out about the humbug Executive , George and Julian , with tbe Editor at Leeds , and our Generalissimo , all go with me . I give you the bint , Johnny Campbell ia O'Brienizing , he must be stopped , or we shall all strike on the breakers together ; get your Notts , fchupa to approve of the resolutions of oar delegate meeting . " Aye , said Mr . O'Connor , tbat is jnst the thing . A more dastardly production never appeared . Here stands Mr . Cooper and bete am I , and now I ask him it my acquiescence or if tbe acquiescence of " tbe Eiiitor at Leeds" or ot tbe other parties , in bis suggestion amounted to more than this : —Mr . Cooper suggested the propriety of selecting five business men from an annual convention , wbo should act as an Executive ; he said he

      of the Execntive , together with j various resolutions , letters , and articles on the same , which have appeared in the Northern Star , is » f opinion that they have departed from the letter of the Plan of Organ- ' zition ; but , under all the eirenmstanees of tbe ease we most emphatically declare that in onr | opinioo they have neither been morally nor polH icafly dishonest . And we further declare it to be our opinion that Mr . Hill , in laying tbe Baid digression before the country was actuated by a strong desire to discbarge his duty to the country when ha need those strong expressions which we now so deeply deplore ; aad , as ( neither have criminally erred , we recommend , for the good of tbe cause , tbat there be no further discussion on the questtoni " Mr . Mil 8 om , of Cheltenham , seconded , and Mr . Mead , Birmingham , supported tbe motion , j Mr . Hopkins , of Bath , also supported the resofuirfon . Mr . Fussell , of Birmingham , raoyad as an amendment . >

      " That this meeting is of opinioo | that the Executive ongbt to produce their accounts to prove that tb » Balance Sheet is correct . " 1 Mr . Fellowes , of Birmingham , seconded it Mr . Leach objected to the course pursued by some persons present He wished that Cbatgea should be advanced and ( substantiated if tbeyo 4 nW be maintained . :, Mr ,-CJIfudSE , of Stookport , sairi be jwas commissioned to deliver a report from bis constituents . They bad come to a vote that the Executive ought to resign . Tbat was not his opinion ; but it j was his duty to deliver tbe report j Mr . Bairstow said that neither himself nor Mr . Leach were in possession of the books of accounts or balance sheet Tbey were in the possession of Mr . Campbell , the late General Secretary , to whoiu certain monies wore due , as salary , and by . whom the books were retained for that reason . I

      Mr . Beesley , of Lancashire , said he would undertake to substantiate charges against the Executive—( Some interruption . ) He held in bis hand a letter containing a charge against tbe Executive . Mr . Cimpbell came to Blackburn , and received eight shillings there , which he pooketted , in addition to bis weekly salary of two pounds . Mr . Campbell did tbe like at Preston ; and at Lancaster he received Eve shillings , -which he turned over in bis hand and uttered his discontent , in tbia manner , Five shillings ! why , if you had bad Leach or M'Douall it would have cost you a ! pound !—is this all . ' " The money had been borrowed , and these expressions caused the person "bu paid it to shed

      tears-Mr . Leach ' s conduct was always quite the contrary . On one occasion , in that part of the country , when a sum of money was paid him , be { returned fifteen shillings—{ great applause . ) Dr . M'D ) iiall received large sums at Clithero and Burnley , while he was receiving two pounds per week as a member of tbe Executive . Again , he had a charge against Jonathan Bairstow , who had been receiving oita pound fifteen shillings per week as lecturer to tbe -North and East Riding of Yorkshire , five shillings of which he had P'jcketted os half of his incidental expenses , and had supplied himself with tbe other half from the Executive ' s Fund . !

      Mr . Bairstow rose to justify himself from Mr . Beesley ' s charges . He shewed from section eighteen of the Plan of Orgairzition , that be wae justifiable in taking monies from tbe Executive's Fund to make up bis expenses . From section sixteen he also shewed that he waa justifiable , or otherwise he misconceived the Plan of Organization . * Mr . Jones , of Liverpool , asked whether the monies which Mr . Bairstow had received in the North and East Riding had been acknowledged in the balancesheet . \ Mr . Bairstow replied that they would ! so appear . Mr . Jones asked if Mr . Beesley , then , charged Mr . Buirstow with receiving more than his due .

      Mr . Beesley replied that he did , and | that Mr . Bairstow bad violated the Plan of Organization , as he would shew . He then quoted section ] sixteen of the Plan of Organization , and shewed tbat since Mr . B . was not sitting as one of the Executive , he had no right to receive any wages as one of that bedy . Ho ( Mr . Beeslej ) bad filled part of Mr . Bairstow ' s engagement in Yorkshire , while Mr . Bairstow was incog , in Northamptonshire , and was then receiving his wages as one of the Executive . t Mr . Bairstow—•• That's false'" i

      Mr . Beealey—O well , —if it be false , I am sorry . I do not wish to press false charges . ; Mr . Leach contended tbat all these charges against individuals , —against Bairstow , Campbell , M'Douall , and Leaca , —were not in point : they were not charges against the Executive . With regard to the books of account , he for one could only say , that j he would vote for all books , papers , &c . being given up . If Mr . Campbell had kept the books , that wasj not an act of tbe Executive ; and it ought , not to go ; to the country that tbe Executive had refused to give up the books . Mr . Williams , of Bristol , asked if Mr ] Leach , or any other member of the Executive , knew of the txtra 10 s . paid over to Dr . M'Djuall , or of thejmoniea said to be improperly received by Mr . Bairstow . j Mr . Leach said bevdid know of the extra 10 s . paid to Dr . M'Douall , and was ready to defend it . Mr . Bairstow n . ust explain for himself . >

      Mr . Wheeler , of London , rose ta make ; some observations relative to producing the accounts . He had already stated to Mr . Campbell that ho could prove from bis own accounts , having investigated them , tbat the Executive had erred . Monies had been Bat down for the travelling expences of Morgan Williams , when Mr . Williams had never been in the ! situation for which those expences were set down . Two pounds for " law fcxpenees '' had alBO appeared at one time in the balance-sheet , but had sinca disappeared . Again , a difference of £ & in the accounts and

      the balance-sheet , he had , himself , clearly discovered . When Mi . Campbell came out of prison , that gentleman took the books and had them now . | Mr . Dron , of London , did not like mockery ; and it appeated to him to be absurd to attempt to substantiate a charge against an absent person and without documents . He could corroborate Mr . Wheeler ' s report It was to the utmost correct . He bad seen the accounts as well as Mr . Wheeler , aud conceived that tbe way in which Mr . Campbell kept his accounts proved that he was dishonest . He could substantiate that

      Mr . Leach observed , tbat Mr . Wheeler had stated Mr . Campbell ' s conduct relative to the books of account . Now he had had some conversation with Mr . Campbell relative to the books , and he had also seen fifteen shillings paid forjpostages in one day ; and sometimes tbat sum had been paid each day during three days in one week . The carriage for cards had also been very expensive before a plan was found of delivering a stock of cards to Mr . Cleave to be remitted to thejvarious localities in Mr . Cleave ' s parcels . Now , as every man was held innocent until be was proved guilty , { he entreated them to suspend their judgments till they possessed

      more information . However , he would tell them that he would decline to answer any further charges against individuals : he would only consent to answer charges against the Executive as a body , He | " would ask tbem , in conclusion—whether they thought tbe plan of Organizktion meant that all the sittings of the Executive were te be held by tba individuals leaving their own homes to meet in somo one town ? j He had in his pocket a document te which were appended the naiiiP'' of the members of the Executive—and that document , after setting forth their defence , contained their resignation . the

      Mr . George White sa . d he rose to h ^ -lpj meeting to come to a close . They were all friends ' , and ought not to quarrel . First , he thought the bopks ought to be produced ; they could not decide without them . He would move the following resolution : —• " That , as the charges against the Executive have been for several weeka before the public , jand as there was a perfect understan Jing that the state of the books of the National Charter Association , taken in conjunction with the late balance sheet of the Executive , and the plan of Organizttion , should be examined ; and as they have not been produced at this meeting , we do noc ftel ourselves in a position to enier into the question , through want of the necessary documents . " Mr . Parkes , of Sheffield , seconded the resolution . Mr . Peter Hoey and Mr . Fussell withdrew their resolutions . Mr . Jones

      moved" That , as no charge has been preferred by the people against the Executive , this meeting has full confidence in tfee honesty of the Executive , and believes it to be unjust to censure tbe Executive until some charge of dereliction ot duty he piefetted against them , and substantiated by the people at large . " Mr . Barron , of Leeds , seconded this resolution . Mr . Leach said tbat no pledge bad been given tbat the books of the Executive should be produced that night I Mr . M'Cartney wished bia motion made last night to be pat to tbe meeting . j Mr . Robson , of London , moved , j " That a Committee be appointed to examine the books of the Executive , and lav a fall report of their examination before the country : such Committee to consist of five members , and all documents be requested from tbe Secretary far the use of tbe Committee . "

      Mr . M'Grath seconded . . Mr . Hobson objected : such a Committee would da an illegal appointment j Mr . Robson thought the contrary . ! Mr . M'Gratb protested against separating without some conclusion being come to in this matter , Mr . Watkins Wynn , of Hammersmith , said he * i told bis constituents that this was a business ti ^ j ^\ e . gates could not settle—and he wm rtill < j ? \ he same opinion *
