Mr . TflOS . Donlop was called to the chair , who after opening the meeting , introduced Mr . Wm . Danielle , who addressed tho meeting at great If ngth on the injustice and oppression constantly practiced upon Colliers both in Eagland and Scotland . This he attributed to their being disunited , and urged them in a strain of vivid eloquence to join their English brethren
who were nobly struggling to raise ] themselves from that stato of serfdom , to which the tyranny of the coal kings had forced them . He then took np the laws of the Miner ' s Association , and commented upon them consecutively as he read them to the meeting , and retired , having evidently made a great impression . Mr . Hammond next addressed the meeting , and delivered a beautiful ] allegory on the various classes in the nation , and depicted in truthful colours the various tricks resorted to in order to keep working men in slavery . Thisi bad a very good dfecl . A many had come to this meeting filled with prejudice ; but these two addresses so far changed the appearance of things , that a resolution was put to ihe meeting pledging themselves to join the Miner's Association , -which was carriec without one dissentient . One hundred cards were taken ont before tee meeting broke up . Hnrra for onion I the gallant bark sails proudly on .
Ecgeheabbt Dalxeiih . —A meeting of the Colliers of this locality was holden on Tharsday last , in the room of the Paup Inn , which was filled to the door Mr . Peter Brown was called to the chair . The meeting was addressed at very great length by Mr . Wm . Daniells , on the objects and Isws of the Miner ' s Association , the benefits of union , and the infamous nature of Collier bonds , Sen . He ; was loudly and repeatedly cheered . Mr . Wm . Hammond followed in a short speech , when a resolution was passed in favour of joining the Collier ' s Association .
Dalkteth . Colliebs' Delegate Meeting . —A delegate meeting of the Colliers ot Mid-Loibian was hoiden on Saturday last , Mr . James Boras in the chair , Mr . Wm . Daniells secretary . A large ledger was purchased for the distrio » , and ; eontribution and enrolment books for the use of the different collieries , and things put in a fair train to conduct the business of the district in a proper manner . The following resolutions were then passed : — " Tnat it is the opinion of this meeting that all men who may take an active part in this union , and Who snail be injured for so doing by the masters , du # ht in that case to be stood by and supported by the men ; but this
shall not extend to any man who shall use insniiing or abusive langnage to tea employer . " " That Mr . David Moffil bfi treasurer , pro . tein . " " That tbe next delegate meeting bo holden this day week ; and a general meeting of the Colliers of Mid and East Lothian on Saturday , August 12 th , but that the different coal works may fix upon any other day , £ honld they see proper , and that Messrs . Danielia and Hammond ba requested to attend . " After paying off bills for prinnng , books , stamps , &o ., there was left a balance in the treasurer ' s hand of 12 s . The meeting broke up in the highest spirits , wishing prosperity to the cause in which they arc engaged .
Misers' Deixgate Meetisg . —The delegates of tbe Miners' Association ot Great Britain , who met at the Three Tons , Manor Chare , l ^ ewcastle-upon-TynB , on Monday , July 24 lh , a » et again by adjournment on Tuesday morning , at mpe o ' clock . Mr . Wakinshaw having taken the chair , the Secretary read the minutes of the previous day ' s proceedings , whic ^» were confirmed . The correspondence was then read . It commenced with a letter from Mr . Roberts , of Bath , in reply to one sent to him by order of the Society . After the subject of tbe letter had been maturely considered , it was agreed that a Committee should be empowered to make the necw sary arrangements with Mr . Boberts , and that ho be respectfully invited to be present at the next meeting of delegates . Tho next letter was from Mr .
Daniells , of Lasswade , in which he gave a very flattering account of the prospects of the Society in that quarter , notwithstanding the , attempts of the masters to excite a spirit of jealousy in the minds of the men , so as to prevent them from joining in union ; yet most of the meetings he had attended lately had pledged themselves to become members forthwith . Another letter was read from the same district of Scotland from Mr . Hammond ; and one from Mr . Brophy , stating the success he had met with in expounding the pnnc pies of union amongst the coal-miners of Cumberland , which was highly gratifying . Jjetters were likewise read irom the lecturers sent to Yorkshire , Lancashire , S ? affordshiw , Derby-shire , &c . & . c , giving glorious accounts
of ibeir Buceess throughout their different routes j and each requesting large quantities of cards and rules , as the men were very anxious to be furnished with their cards and copies of the rules . The letter from Staffordshire contradicted the report circulated through the newspapers that the miners in that quarter had struck work . ( Qnery—May not thia * " Report" be an attempt , on the p > rt of the enemy to excite the miners to a Pbeiutcb . e Strike 1 Beware , fellow-slaves , of the snares' that are set to entrap you 1 ) Amongst several other letters read , was one from Mr . Enable ton , Berwick , stating the schemes which the masters and their tools tfatre resort to , to prevent ihe mea from entering the Society . They get meetings of the men . shew them the
folly of forming a Union ; speak largely upon the evil effects of naion amongst working men ; and latterly attempt to arouse the worst feelings of the unsuspecting miners against that which is their best interest . Mr . Embleton attended one of those meetings proved tbe necessity of union amongst the miners , showed what wonla be its ultimate effect , and fo far convinced the men of the fallacy of the position taken by the " minions" who had congregated them that they all joined the society before they parted . A delegate proposed a resolution respecting the law fund . After the snbject was discussed , it was agreed that it be held in abeyance , until the arrangements were made with a solicitor . A long discussion took place re = pectiag some grievances which the men of the Auckland districts bad to complain of , A resolution was adopted thBt they should clear 3 a . for each day they work . The Execntive then entered the room
with a copy of the letter which they were instructed to send to Mr . Roberts , which was read and adopted . A delegate proposed—* ' That an opportunity be given to -such off-handed men and others employed at the different collieries in Northumberland and Durham , as may be disposed to do so , to join the society , upon pajing the usual amount of entranc * mosey ; and that such cf them as will not embrace this opportunity on or before thp 24 'Ji of August next , will not be admitted members without paying ten shillings entrance money each * ' —Carried . And it was agreed that one thousand : bills , announcing this resolution , be printed and posted in conspicuous places at eacu colliery . A delegate proposed thai the Executive be instructed to draw up a copy of a boad for the pitmen , to snbscribo for the ensuing year , and that the same be ready to be snbmiited to delegates at their n » xt meeting .

Grsat Meeting op Coal Minkis on Kkusal Moor . —The coal miners of this oounty held a meeting on Kersal Moor on Monday last , July 31 st , 1843 , to receive a deputation from the Coal Miner ' s Association of Great Britain . The attendance was very numerous , when we consider the shortness of the notice , and the disorgapieed state of Lancashire arising from the League plot of last year . There was also : another circumstance which prevented many from being present ; there are two moors in this 4 ietri < jt , the one called Kersal Moor and the other Kersley Moor ; and great numbers went , to the latter iplace , and were disappointed . At twelve o ' olock , the time appointed for the meeting , Mr . John Lamase , a veteran coal miner , a man universally beloved by his fellow workmen in the
neighbourhood ; in which he resides , was unanimously called to the chair . He opened the business of the meeting by a neat and appropriate speech , in which he depicted in glowing colours the awful state of the miners of this district , and warned bis fellow workmen | against the subtle means tnat were now being resorted to by a certain party in order to try if they could not make the coal miners tools in their hands , to produce another " outbreak" in favour of theirown petty measures . He trusted that they would watch these parties , and not allow themselves to be cajoled into a premature strike , or into any strike at all , until they were able successfully to combat the mighty power that was aroused against them by the jjreat capital which had been wrung from their labour .
uhe meeting was then addressed by Messrs ,. Swallow , Thompson , and Davies , agents of the Association , wjjoiii a clear and simple manner laid down the plans and objects of the Association . A working miner moved the following resolution , — " Thatin the opinion of the meetingthe coal miners of Lancashire are not in receipt of sufficient wag ^ s for their labour to provide for their families the commonest necessaries of life . " The resolution was becoudod in a neat speech by another working miner , aud carried unanimously . We omit the names of the working men for very obvious reasons . Another miner moved the following— "That we , the miners of Lancashire , do immediately join the Miners' Association of Great Britain , and call upon our brethren who are not present to unite with us in adopting every legal means to redress our grievances and remove the present burdens which press so heavily upon us . "
Tho Chairman put it to the met > ting when it was carried without a dissentient . The thanks of of the meeting were given to the chairman , who responded in a very humourous manner , in which the policemen , who were present in disguise , came in for their share . The meeting was thew dissolved . Meeting op Delegates . —As soon as the out-door meeting was over , a meeting of delegates assembled in the large room , Brown-street , Manchester . There were about one hundred delegates present , representing the principal coal works in Lancashire , viz . from Dukinfield ; Ashlon-ua < ler-Lyne ; Oldham , Bradford , nearftlanchester ; Breftment ; Little Levor ; Crompton Field ; Lellanshaw ; Danse ; Lever ; Atkin ; Kawe's Fagg , near Boiton ; Little Bolton ; Tongue Colliery ,: Little Bolton ; Beuts ; Little Lever ; Peel Colhcry ; . Hilton ; New Houso , Bolton ; Halshaw Moor , Little Bolton ; Jenny Colliery ; Ratcliffe Bridge ; Chorley ; Ratcliffe ; Lano Eudg ; Aspul ; Wigan , &o . &c .
Mr . D . Thompson was called upon to preside . After the delegates had given in their credentials , the foHoiying resolutions were passed .: — " That Mr Wa . Dtxou , of Manchester , be the treasurer until lie next delegate meeting . " On this motion being carried , Mr . Dixon said that he hoped his friends would see the propriety of providing office-bearers out of their own association . He was not connected with the : eoal-minin 4 business at present ; and he , therefore , hopes that they would chose a man from amongst themselves at the next delegate meeting . As a miner by trade , ho should ever consider it to be his duty to render them every assistance in his power to ameliorate their condition . It was then agreed
" Tbatapublio meeting be held at Pendlebury , on Monday , August 14 , chair to bo taken at ten o ' clock in tbe forenoon ; and , after it a delegate meeting in the large room of tho Wheat Sheaf Inn , in Pendlebury . " "That Mr . Swallow go into the Bolton District until the delete meeting . " " That Mr , Thompson go into tho Wigan District aa soon as he has concluded his engagements at Dukiniield , &c . " " That Mr . Dixon be authorised to pay Mr . Swallow and Mr . Thompson their wages for the past week , and also up to the next delegate meeting , with power to pay any bills that may be brought against the association betwixt now and that time . " "That the resolutions be sent to the Northern Star newspaper for insertion . " The thanks of the meeting was then given to the chairman , aud the meeting separated .

paupers to fall back npoti , whom they could compel to-work at six shi'lUngs- por week . They would then have an independent population . Tne man would Bay , " Well , I don't like farming ; but I earn ten shillings a-day at H ; if you will give me that ^ I Will work for totf . " This * ras not tho object those men had in view , who had jumped from clogs to boots ; from tho collar to tho mansion ; from the mansion to tho palaco ; and who wore now looking oat for principalities ; and all this , too , achieved under a restricted itpde" \ Suppose , and it was not improbable , that a manufacturer had realized £ 100 , 000 by the labour of one hundred hands in ten yeara , he would then retire and leave his poor labourers to starve—( hear ) . Was that a system of justice ) Suppose , like the parson , he only ' retained 1-lOth , he would then have the
lion ' s Bhare— £ 10 , 000 ; and the other £ 90 , 000 would enable those who had earned him hi « wealth , also to retire into honourable idleness . The manufacturers complained of txade when they did not make tbe enormous per centage they formerly did . If they did not gain so much this year as they did the former year , they asserted theirs to be a "losing trade . " Mr . O'Connor then clearly 6 hewed that the true interest of the shopkeeper was bound up in the prosperity of the working man . It was asserted that the Charter would unsettle everything ; that there would be no security for property . Those who raised that ory meant there would be no security for plunder . They did hot want to divide tho property of their oppressors ; they only wanted security for
their labour . The Marquis of Westminster asserted that he was the worst used man in the Empire , because he had to pay jg 12 , 000 income tax . He did not wish that meeting any particular harm ; but he heartily wished that every one of them could make the same complaint . ¦ That was a specimen of the loyalty of the aristocrats . Take away from the Archbishop of Canterbury his revenue , and his loyalty would fly off in a balloon . TnHe away from the clergy their tithes ; leave them the churches , beautify them in every : way , let them tread upon velvet and be attended by angels : but if the tithes wero goue , away too would go their loyally . It was the same with the "Free Tradera "—refute them cheap corn , and all their loyalty evaporated . They
talked about " Free Trade , " but they knew no more about it than an Irish pig knows about geometry . Every increase of trade had been followed by a reduction of wages , and if thero was a demand for ten times the amount of goods now manufactured , in ten years time there would be a supply ten times exceeding the demand . He was the real corn law repealer . The League were but half repealers ; they only wanted laboar subjected to their control , and to constitute corn as another medium of exchange . If they had the Charter they would repeal the corn laws on . tho morrow ; for they knew that the Land would supply with food three times the present population . The law of primogeniture now contracted
the supply ; the whole land going to tho eldest son . Tuence arose the necessity for new churches , police commissions , poor law commissions , sinecures , places , and an Income T&x , to support the younger brothers . Ha was right glad of the Income Tax , and was sorry that it was not 10 per cent . The working man had to pay in indirect taxation , fif teen shillings out of ( Very poand ; but no sooner had the middle class got three and half per cent , on their surplus wealth , than the country was threatened with revolution . Peel had offered the ironmasters a grant of £ 50 , 000 ; or to get up an Emigration Fund . They wero all a day after the fair ! Government had gent a Commission into
Wales , eonsj ^ ting ofa Bow-street officer , to inquire into the grievances of the people . It was like locking up tho stable when the horse was stolen . If every sectional grievance was redressed , it would h ( e the worse for the working man . If Peel had given . £ 50 ( 000 to tho ironmasters , who would have had to pay it , but the working muni If thoso who were now bidding for their support , wero to buy them tomorrow , they would reap no benefit . It Tom Attwood was to get bis £ 1 notes , what would they avail them I They had been living in paper houses too long ! Every breezi had shaken them into convulsions , and they wanted no mure flimsies . It mattered not who was prime minister ; under the present system he could not do justice to the
landlord without injuring the clergy ; he could not assist the manufacturer without destroying the agriculturist ; ho could do neither , unless he went to tbo source , to the bottom of the well at once . It was useless to knock down ono fortress ; they must storm the citadel . They wero hot advocates of physical force . They did not waut , as Baron RoH'e said , to " take tho Tower with a rusty pistol . " Nothing would give Sir R . Peel , the landlords , or the League , so much joy as a Chartist outbreak ! Such an emeute r would soon cause them to 8 ink their sectional grievances , and have a pop at the Chartists . They would soon forget all minor differences in the endeavour to destroy the hydra of popular demand . But the Chartists wore too strong in moral strength to destroy
themselves by any violent measures , lboy needed only union and perseverance ; and for all to work as he did . Mr . O'Connor then gave an account of his meetings in Wilts and Somerset , referring to his accident ; and also commented upou the Marylebone meeting as triumphant evidence of their power . The Marykboue meeting thus proved that his labour had not been in vain . Every exertion had been used to set his countrymen asu . mst him , but the attempt was vain . 'He ha < i heaped coals of fire upon the heads of his enemies , by repaying good for evil . He knew the day would come when justice would be done him . Through good and evil report ho had stuck to his country . Was it to be endured that private jealousies should injure
their country ? He was proud of the reception Father Mathew had met with . The English people did not stop to enquire whether he was an " Irish " Priest , or a " Saxon" Parson , but hastened to do him honour . Mr . O'Connor then ably dwelt on the subject of Irish Repeal , and thowed that if " a Parliament" was all they wanted , they might have the English ; for nothing but Irish business was now transacted in it , unless it was now and then a turnpike or a railroad bill . By-and-bye , he supposed , Rebecca would be st ppiu £ in for her share . When he was commissioned ten years a ^ o by the JVlarylebone Association to go on a tour through tho couutry , he asserted at Stock port that he would sell tbe people by auction . He asserted tho same now ; but no
one had bid fairly yet . Peel would booh be bidding Household Suffrage ; Russell would bid Universal Suffrage , and the lot would be knocked down . Peel would say he had bid too ; and the lot would have to be put up again . Peel would tbea give Annual Parliaments into the bargain ; Russell would throw in the Ballot ; Peel would give Payment of Members ; Russeil no Property Qualification ; Peel would then throw in the whole Cnarter , and the lot Would be knocked down to him . —( great cheering ) . He would sell them all tomorrow , neck and crop , at that price ; but it was scarcely worth his while ^ b ' oell them for £ 90 !! He had n fused all other ofiers ; be refused even the escape from persecution and privation . Ho had seen thu Leaguo bidding
high lor the people . He had also seen tnat Sturge ' s Reform would have much support among the electoral body ; and hn knew that if a political man watched bis opportunity , there were times When he might take a sccuun with him . But he had never allowed the weakness Of a moment to have any influence over him , but had remained firm to ihe Charter , woJl knowing thai H they abandoned one portion they would soon be compelled to abandon the whole ; and tho agitation would become an object for scorn anil derision , lie was glad they did not ^ et the Charter at the time of the Reform Bill . They were then not politically educated enough to hare fbneed it well with the proper detaib . All nations wero rushing forward
into ono great Bvatem of brotherhood . Mind was pushing forward to combine wuh mind . Steam and cheap postage had done much in producing that result . They could now shake hands with America , and kiss France . 'Ihe whole political world was on the evo ot a convulsion . The rumbling of the mutual earthquake could bo distinctly hoard , and he trusted that out of chaos aud confusiou , peace , and prosperity W' . uld arise , Mr . O'Connor then alluded to the cruelties inflicted , by the manufacturers upon the children and others ' in their employ ; shewud the manner in which the press had boundsd on the Government against : him ; and concluded ly informing them that he had entered an action against the Times for libeU .. which would be tried by a bun-ay jury on the following ; Monday . He also urged upou them the necessity of perseverance and Organismon . A Conference would be soon holden at Birmingham , and he trusted they would commence horn that
ptiiod a new and a successful contest . It mattered Kot whether they had a Whig or a Tory G ^ rernineut . They had only to be sufficiently poworiul and the Charier would be granted them . Mr . O'Connor , during the whole of his address , was loudly cheered ; and at its conclusion a lengthy resolution was moved : by Mr . Shaw , and seconded by Dr . Bowkett , thanking him for his past services , and pledging the meeting to unite tor the Charter , Which was carried by acclamation . Mr . O'Connor briefly replied , after- which Dr . Bowkett addressed the audience on tho subject of their power , by cooperation , to secure freehold property , and referred them to a pamphlet he had written on that subject , which was published by Mr . Cleave . Mr . Shorrard moved , and Dr . Bowkett seconded , a vote of thanks to the Chairman , who made a suitable reply , and the meeting dispersed . Many of the middle classes were present , and appeared much interested with the lecture .

Disgeacefu | l Usage of Paupers . —On Wednesday last a poor wuman who has been living' at Scanley appeared before tne Wakefield board of Guardians for relief when tha overseer of Stanley said that the woman and her children had been removed to the parish to which she belonged ( Hudderfield ) , and that on her arrival there the Hudderafield relieving-officer jhad placed her and her children in a cabin , in which there was only a straw mattrass and no furniture , along with a man , and she was told that he must remain there , or if she was dissatisfied she must go back to Stanley , whither she returned . The woman was questioned by the board , and she said , weeping , ] that such had been the case . Appleyard , tha overseer , was directed to take the woman Before the Huddersfield guardians . Mr . Craven said , that at the last , Pontefract sessions a similar case
came before the £ rand jury , o ( which he was one . It was then statesi in evidence that the relieving officer of Huddersfield had actually given a female pauper a ticket for lodgings in a common brothel ! and also that the relieving officer was in the habit of paying tho lodging account at brothels for the paupers sent'thert ! 1 Comment on such a case as this is out of the question .

Andpver , on its way to the terminus of the Southampton railroad , great alarm wag created among the passengers by the sudden outcry of the coach being oa fire . The coachman instantly stopped the horses , and on the guard alighting he discovered that the wheels of the vehicle had aotually ignited , in coneequence of their not haying been properly greased before starting , and the velocity with which the coach was proceeding . The fire , however , was extinguished , and the damage confined to the wheels . The guard was anxious for the coach to continue its joarney on account of the mail bags , &c , bat the coachman very properly said ho would not endanger the lives of tho passengers by so doing . The mail was , therefore , forwarded by another conveyance , but nearly an hour elapsed before the passengers were enabled to proceed towards their destination .

Lee » s Woollen Markets . —There is a decided improvement in the mercantile transactions of this town , and in the sales at both the Cloth Halls . The demand for broad , cloths , in particular , has been very brisk , and some extensive sales have been effected in goods suitable for the Easternniarkets Much more is doing in the warehouses , in consequence of the visits of numerous buyers . Wool . — The Wool trade is also better , there being considerable more demand for it than has been the case for sometime . Malton Corn Market , July 29 . —At this day's market we had but little doing in the trade ; tha weather having set in wet and cold , increased the confidence of the farmers , who would not submit to any reduction in price , which caused the millers to keep aloof from making purchases . The prices ranged as follows—Wheat 683 to 723 . per qr . Barley nominal . Oats 1 Hd to 12 d . per stone .
York . Corn Market , July 29 . ^ -We have a goad attendance of farmers to day , but the dull accounts from Wakefield and other markets have made our millers unwilling to give last week ' s prices and on the othej * hand , sellers not being disposed to take less , we report a very lifeless trade , and the appearance of a downward tendency , both as regards Wheat and Oats . The weather , though not particularly wet , has been dull and cloudy , and sunshine ia much wanted to ripen the growing crop 9 , which are making little or no progress . Richmond Corn Market , July 29 . —We had a tolerable supply of Grain in our market to-day , but there was an advance on last week ' s price ? . Wheat sold from 8 s . to 9 s . 31 . ; Oats from 2 s . 9 J . to 3-i . 9 d . ; Barley from . 3 a . 9 d . to 4 a . ; Beans from 4 s , to is . 6 d . per bushel .

State of Trade . —There was very little change in the market yesterday . Owing , perhaps , in some degree to the non-arrival of ihe Hamburg mail due ; the yarn market was rather flatter than last week , with a light tendency to decline in the prices of one or two descriptions particularly adapted to the German market . In the goods market there was a pretty good demand for printing cloth , and a further but slight improvement in tho price Of good 27-inch 72-reed cloth , which has been for a long time much depressed , and of which the manufacture has been greatly diminished . For other description of goods tho demand was very moderate , and there was no change in prices . —Manchester Guardian .
Newcastle Cobs Mabkex , Jr / tr 29 . —At our market this morning we had a good supply of Wheat from the growers , much larger in fact than might have been anticipated considering the advanced state of the season ; having , however , only moderate arrivals ooastways , the whole was cleared off readily at an advance of Is . to 2 $ . per quarter ; ship qualities at the same time partaking of a similar improvement . For a parcel of fine sooth country red , weighing about 64 lbs . per bushel , oKs . was procured ; in free foreign a very moderate business was done , but late prices were fully supported ; the eama remarks will also apply to bonded . For flour we have experienced a steady inquiry during the weeK , and the stooks in warehouse being much reduced , the
we look for the pama being cleared off before accession of = any further supplies . Norfolk households we value 43 s . to 45 s ., according to quality , and whites 463 . to 47 s . per sack respectively , perhaps anything extra , might command a little more . Kye must be noted 2 s . per quarter dearer , but the advance is complied with most reluctantly . Barley extremely scarce and much wanted . Malt fully 2 $ . per quarter higher , choice Chevalier being richly worth 603 . to 62 s per quarter . Peas are again Is- higher witn » free demand . Beans as before . Having only ^ a moderate show of Oats from ihe country , with very trifling arrivals coastwise , our mealmeu were compelled to give an advance of Is . per quarter upon the best descriptions , whilst other sorts met a tree sale at fully last week ' s prices .

FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . IN THE TOWER HAMLEiS . Mr . O'Connor lectured on Tuesday evening last , at Hemmingway ' fi Saloon , Mile End Road . Tke charge for admission was 2 d . in the body of the saloon , and 6 < i . on the platform . The attendance was very respectable , aud would have been larger but for a mistake in tho announcement in last wcek ' d Star , Berraondsey being substituted for Mile End . Shortly after eight o ' clock , Mr . Fiuzirr was called to the chair , and in a brief and humorous address introduced
Mr . O Connor , who was received with rapturous applause . He commenced by apologising for the mistake in the Star , aud for previous disappointments ; and pledged himself to be with them on the ensuing Monday , and deliver a discourse upon the text he should that evening give them . The Chairman had alluded » o persons who were rerj brave in his absence , and pretended to know more Of his movements than he did himself . He bad previously been accused of being " a spy in the pay of the Whi ^ s / ' and also of being " a tool in tbe pay of the Torieb" ; but now be had descended so low in the market as to bo " a tool in the hands of a single inuividual" : he was now , he understood , accused of accepting a bribe of . £ 90 from the Duke of
Buckingham ! I He did not doubt but that £ 90 might be a consideration to " a needy adventurer ; " but he knew it would ; go bnt a very small way in seitliBg his political balance-sheet . He noticed this rumour , because the character of a political man was always open to suspicion ; and he challenged tbe party who asserted that calumny , and who also asserted that he had'proofs to substantiate it , to meet him before any public audience ; and he would dely him to shew that he had everreceived ld . in any ebapo , as " pay" or u bribe" for political service in " consideration , " from man , woman , or child . If the principles advooated by his opponents were good , they would stand without being built upon the ruins of his ( O'Connor ' s ) fame . He did not assert that Mr . Cobden lived upon
the subscriptions of the people ; or that Mr . Bright purchased his election for Durham by bribing the electors with the people ' s money . His principles did not need snob , support . He had always asserted that if a man devoted his time to the service of the people , he deserved to be remunerated for it ; and it ivas hard indeed , that because he epeat his own money in the service of the people , that all the wrath should be poured out on him ; that O'Connor should be the noun adjective to support principles which -would not staad by themselves ' . England was on the eve of a great change ; a change which it had become impossible much longer to avert . His object , was to render that change beneficial to the people , by marshalling public opinion , and bringing
it to bear on the source of all their grievances . Formerly their political leaders marshalled public opinion . only upon sectional grievances ; and wben they had raised an excitcmeutj directed it upon that 1 grievance which bore peculiarly upon themselves . The manufacturer endeavoured to marshall public opinion 5 against the agriculturist ; the chmoh of Scotland agitators , upon a new road to heaven ; the church of England upon destroying a few Bishops to make room lor more Rectors ; in Wales , the sectional grievance was the ereotion of toll-bars . IVow heiendeavoured to prevent agitation for these sectional measures . The people had nothing to do with them ; but they had everything to do with the proper remuneration for labour . Labour was the
source from which a ) l wealth sprung . Their enemies were opposed to the rights of labour ; and by distracting and dividing the working men , they had driven them from the cottage to the cellar . They were now bidding high for the people ; and if they h&d not such fiery offers , and so much gasconade , as in . the days of Charles Fox or of Attwood , in 1831 , it was because the people now looked for the fulfilment of pledges male . Public opinion was now tooitoand to ignite with a single match . If , as was asserted , the present Government Was the reflex of public opinion , then it was the more necessary that public opinion should be marshalled to ran in one great stream that all the shoals might be removed and destroyed . They were told that the people
were not prepared for a change . In the opinion of these philosophers , whenever tho people advanced , then Tvero they the most ignorant . At the time of the Keform Bill , they were " an intelligent people ' ; but when they wished to advance further , they suddeuly became "degraded" and "ignorant . Mr . O'Connor then alluded to Bright ' s election for Durham , which tho League boasted was a great reaction in their fa von r . The Chartists cared bat little about the electoral body . If they waited until the electoral bod ; ensured them the Charter , it would not be in their lives , nor yet in the lives of their grandchildren . The noB-eleotors had formerly a court of
appeal in the House of Commons . Their petitions constituted this appeal ; bnt now they had no longer that conrt . Their petitions ofl , 500 , 000 , ef 2 , 500 , 00 i , and of 3 , 500 , 000 had been disregarded ; and they looked for substantive representation as their only remedy . ' Mr . O'Connor next dwelt on the question of *• Free Trade , " and showed that the object of that agitation was to enable the manufactures to undersell the slaves of the whole world . If they really sought for a principle to benefit the working man , they would locate him upon the Land , and render him independent of the foreigner for his breakfast or his supper . They well knew that if they did that , they would s longer hare » starring , » loungine army of

THE CONFERENCE .-ORQA . NIZATION . TO THE EDITOR OF THE KORTHERN STAR . Sis , —As the general opinion appears to be in favour of a Conference ! aa tha first step to re-organizition , it is necessary that some definite means should be adopted to enable ub to come to a decision , and also to fix the time and place of holding it , so that preparations may ba made , and more undivided attention given to the various plans of Organization Which have been , or may ba proposed . - I do not see how this can be ascertained without the general opinion [ being expressed ; nor do I sae how the various opinions we have had upon the subject can be brought to a conclusion , so as to be acted upon , without tne votes of the localities beirjg taken ; to effect thisI __
, suggested tn the j-SYar of the 15 th , ult > that all propositions should be sent to the Star , tot publication on the . 5 th inst . in order that the localities might vote upon them ; and to make thi 8 as simple and easy as possible , and that we may arrive at some definite conclusion , I have arranged and placed , in a brief form , and classed under different beads , the various propositions Which have been made * t A 1—That an Executive shall be first electea t B 1—That a Conference shall be held August 21 st . B 2—That a Conference shall be held August 31 st . B 3—That a Conference shall ba held Sept . " 5 th . B 4—That a Conferenco shall be held Sept 12 th . C 1—That the Conference shall be held in Birmingham . ] C 2—That the Conference shall fca held in London .
C 3—That the Conference shall be held In Newcastteupon-Tyne . C 4—Tnat the Conference ehall be held in Nottingham , j * D 1—That each town throughout the kingdom-shall have the power of electing only one delegate , with the following j exceptions : — Birmingham , Liverpool , and Edinburgh , two delegates each . Manchester and Glasgow , three leach , and London four . D 2—That each town , containing lesa than 56 , 000 inhabitants , shall ts allowed to send one delegate ; if containing 50 , 000 , and less than 100 , 000 , two delegates ; and if 100 , 000 and upwards , four delegates , except London , which may send six . Of course all delegates will be elected at public meetings in accordance -with the nsnal forms and -will have to produce certificates signed by the Chairman of the meeting , j
Now it the different localities come to a conclusion upon one of the propositions in each class , i . e . one of each marked AjB and C . and send to tbe Star office , Aug 8 , for publication Aug . 12 , we shall see at a glance whero and when the ( general will fixes the Conference ; by this means we should have the same advantage over the course we ihave hitherto pursued , a 3 we have by submitting a regular motion to a meeting , instead of carrying on a desultory conversation without order—and that the votes may be arranged without difficulty , I would suggest thai the localities when sending to tbu Star cffi : e , should merely send the number of the propositions which they vote for ; J they may then be placed in the following form ;—Name 0 / Place . No . of Proposition . a 1 b . a' 2 \ u : i fb 4 ' . c <\ C ' i ca . i m 02 Nottingham ; 1 ; . j . 1 1 Shiffiuld l ! ! J' 1 London 1 1 i } 'I ' I 1 |! 1 T-i » tal votes j I | 2 ; 1 . 2 : 1 2
Of coursu these are merely supposed cases for the sake of illustration . ¦ - I hope that as the question 1 b ene of importanca , our friends will see the necessity of giving it a cartful attention . I do not see any other means by which we can come to a conclusion , nor have any other been proposed , and those parties and localities who bare expressed an opinion upon it , have agiecd that it would be fair and satisfactory . With respect , to Organization there are a few subjects which I have not yet seen alluded to , and to which it may not be amiss to direct attention , so that they may be considered previous to the Conference being c illed . j That & general and simultaneous demonstration should be belt ) once a year .
That a general Tract Depository should be established for the purpose of supplying localities with tracts , and also to supply them for sale ; the tracts to ba printed under the direction of persons appointed for that purpose , who should select the best pamphlets and extracts from political works . That small grizes should ba awarded for short essays upon subjects to be decided upon , in order to insure a supply of tracts upon questions of interest , and to cause attraction . That as far ) as possible Sunday Schools should ta established in the various localities . I shall notj occupy your space by remarks upon these , but leave them to the consideration of cur friends . Remaining yours truly . R . T . MORHJSJN ' - Nottingham , July 29 , 1843 .
