STOCKTOJJ . —At the usual weekly meeting of the Chartists of Stockton , on Wednesday evening "week , Mr . Davison stated thai he hid a resolution to propose , which he doubted not would meet with the entire approval of all present , namelj : — "That the Chartists of Stockton Bend a delegate to York , on the liberation of Mr . O'Connor , to give him a hearty welcome from the felon ' s cell ; and to con-Tince him that the people of Stockton have not forgotten his services—that they are grateful , and give him their most sincere thanks . " Air . Davison accompanied his resolution with * number of excellent remarks , io high pratee of Mr . O'Connor The resolution was seconded by Mr . J . Shields , and carried unanimously .
FtlZXSWORTK . —On Sunday evening last , Mr . James Carttedge , of Manchester , delivered a very impressive and eloquent lecture in the old School Room , ¦ which , -was greatly applauded throughout , and at the dose a vote of thanks was proposed and carried unanimously to the Lecturer , for his services . Will our immaculate Whig friends say that the Tories paid that ? for we are of opinion that if the Corn Law Repeal Lecturers bad no other pay , the League irould * 8 oon be minus advocates , a certain reptile in the form of a man , yclept a Town Missionary sent to teach the people of Failswerth the way to a better country , and to give them bibles , almanacks , tracts , dec . has been going from house to bouse canvassing amongst the rate payers , to get possession of the room to spout in . When he found a Socialist , ne said it was the dreadful destructive
Chartists that the Christians wanted out ; when a Chartist came in his way , it was tha > blasphemous infidel Socialists they wanted out However , as be is in the habit of reading the Northern Star , we guess by the reference lie is continually moving to its contents , we would just remind him , that the petty annoyance he is continually practising towards the poor , persecuted , and proscribed Chartist , only brings the doctrines of the meek and lowly Jesus into contempt , when the Profession of those doctrines is seen to produce so fmuch duplicity , sneaking , cr aftiness , and hypocrisy in himself . If . B . The meetings are held as usual once a fortnight , when lectures are deliveredj on the great and glorious principles of the Charter . SOUTH X ^ NCASHXRE . —DELEGATE MEETING . —The above meeting was held in the Chartist-room ,
Brown-street , Manchester , on Sunday afternoon last . Delegates present—Mr . Thoinas Davies , Tib-street , Manchester ; Mr . John Cartle . ige , Brown-street , East Manchester ; Mr . Samuel Peniberton , Hardman-street , Manchester ; Mr . William y&rwood , Hulme and Cboriton-upon-Medlock ; Mi . T . F . Craig , Salford ; Mr . Richard Haslem , Oldham ; Me David Ogden , Failswortb ; Mr . Jonu Scnofield , Openshaw and Droylsden ; Mr . T . S- Exersley , Unswor th ; Mr . Robert Johnson , Middleton ; Mr . James Taylor , juc , Rochdale ; Mr . George Cooksoa , Warrington ; Mr . William Bixtndale , Shaw ; Mr . John Dickinson , PiLkington and Prastwich ; Mr . James L © e « h , Mottrain . Mr . T . F . Cr&ig was called to the chair . Every delegate gave an encouraging account of the progress of the cause in Ms locality . We rejoice to say that thousands who
once looked npon the principles with indifference , suspicion , and contempt , are now become their adherents , and their most active and zealous" supporters . The financial kffairs were examined , and found correct , and other business , for which the meeting was called , was gone through in the best of spirit . After which the folio-wing resolutions were passed , without two opinions being expressed upon them , and without one dissentient : — " That this meeting views with feelings of extreme regret the attempt made by Messrs . Levett , Collins , O'Xeil , and Co ., to commence another mode of organisation . Firstly , because the plan already in operation has cost the nation a serieus amount of money , besides anxiety and perseverance oh the part of the people ' s delegates , and is working successfully ; and has done more in the short time to unite the people ,
and bring them to a general understanding with each other , tbaa any one ever brought before the Radical public Secondly , because the commencing of another movement , even for the same object , would be calculated to confuse , and perhaps divide the people ; and consequently give our enemies , who are ever on the alert , a chance to make inroads into our ' ranks . Thirdly , because those men who attached their names to the original document , a copy of which appeared in the Northern Star , ought , if we may judge from their pretensions , to have llone all in their power to carry out the present plan instead of impeding its progress by standing aloof—getting np a fresh one contrary to the majority , or throiring any obstacle in th « way , by endeavouring , u far as their influence , precept , and example bo , to persuade the people that the plan is
illegal Fourthly , because O'h ' eil , Collins , Lovett , and others , were invited to assist in remodelling the old ; plan at the late national delegate meeting , in order to make it strictly legal , bnt never attended . Fifthly , because they have been solicited to join the association , and they refused to do so , or show its illegality . Sixthly , because we consider the cause too sacred to allow it to be trifled with by any shuffling , equivocating , and half eiap-trap , -whether patronised by Dan , or any other humbug , who aets from self-interest , ambition ., or want of principle . We , therefore , pledge oureelvee not to c-jtmtenance , "bat rather oppose any plan while the present works so remarkably well ; nor any one , bnt which is agreed to by the people ' s delegates , and not by a few individuals , wheever they may be . We hope , if they respect their own character and the
cause of liberty , they will give up the attempt , and join feeart and hand in the present Association until the People ' s Charter becomes the law of the land . After this solicitation , it they persist , we shall feel it our painful duty te denounce them as men insincere to the cause they have espoused , and unworthy of confidence ; and that the Editor of the Northern Star be requested to insert this in the next publication . " 2 nd . " That this meeting tender Mr . James Leech , missionary , a vote of t ^ ynt-n fer his past conduct , and they have the greatest confidence in him for the future , and that he be requested to proceed with his labours for another month . " 3 rd . " A vote of thanks was given to Mr . James Cartledge , secretary , for the
excellent manner in which he ha 3 always kept the accounts . " 4 th . " A vote of thanks -was given to the chairman , for his able and impartial conduct , and that the meeting itand adjourned till that day month . " We are requested te inform the Chartists of South Lancashire , that business of the greatest importance will be brought forward at the next meeting , and it is hoped that a delegate will be present to represent each town or village where there is an association . If they dogpot think it prudent to send a delegate so many nmes , tiwy are at liberty to appoint any friend in whom ij ^ y can place confidence , who resides in Manchester , ffct they must send proper credentials to satisfy the Council .
BRIGHTON—Meeting —Tbe quarterly meeting of this Association was held at the Cap of Liberty , Portland-street , on Wednesday evening , April 14 th , 1841 , Mr . William Woodward in the chair , when the report of the Council , an able and well-drawn , up document , ¦ was read ; and , on the proposition of Mr . Sandy , seconded by Mr . Lswis , was unanimously agreed to , and ordered to be entered on the minutes . The balance sheet was then submitted , showing a balance in the hands of the treasurer of £ 2 5 s . lid . / which was allowed and passed . The O'Brien and Victim's Fund Balance Sheets were also placed before the meeting , in each of which there was a bala nce in favour of each fund ; of the O'Brien Fund , 183 . id ., and of the Victim Fond , l « s . Hid . These were also allowed , and passed . Each balance sheet was duly signed by auditors , especially appointed . After a vote of thanks to the chairman , &c , the meeting was dissolved , the members being highly gratified at the state of the society , and its respective funds .
The address of Messrs . Collins and Co . having been sent to Brighton , and signed by yiessrs . Woodward and Sandy , and having reason to believe that Borne of oar friends may think that it has been signed on bthalf of the Brighton Chartists , we take this opportunity of informing them that we do not know of one Chartist who does not highly disappprove of such conduct , and are determined not only strictly to adhere to the National Charter Association and their plan , but to resist to the utmost every other project that may be started by whatever party-feeling ; as we are sorry and indignant at the conduct of men who cm lend themselves to do the vork of our most inveterate enemies , fey adopting a course that must inevitably cause disunion in our ranks . Our reason for sending this is , our weekly meeting is not held till Wednesday evening , when the subject will be discussed , but will be too late in the week for insertion in your present Star , and being anxious to remove any impression that it has been
signed on oar behalf or by our sanction . We therefore , assure ottr brethren tbat the Chartists o : this town , generally , will remain firm as a rock both to the present plan , and also to the glorious principles contained in the Charter . Our motto is—Universal Suffrage and No Surrender , but as speedily as passible . Weionot approve of the everlasting cant about the ignorance and immorality of the working men , and depriving them of their just rights upon that plea . If these men desire to see ignorance and vice of every description in all its naked deformity , let them visit this town , attend the theatre , the gambling houses , the taverns and brothels , and the circles of the aristocracy and middle-class electors , and then , after making all due allowance for the working man , . groining under the hellish system of oppression , and " driven by poverty to crime , whether or . not the educated classes { so termed ) de not by far exceed them in vice of every description .
EDINBURGH . —The Edinburgh Chartist Asaociatitnmetin Whitefield Chapel , on Thursday last , Mr . James in the chair . Mr . P . Anderson delivered a lectare , wherein fie successfully replied to several objections brought against the CKartisLs . The address of Mr . Lovett and others was then read to the meeting ; after which a letter was read from Mr . Sankey , in reply to Mr . Lrvett , containing his reasons for not signing bis same to the said address , which elicited universal approbation . It was then moved and carried " that a Tote of thanks be awarded to Mr . Sankey for the conflict be has displayed ever since he joined the mo resent , and more especially for the prompt manner in which be replied to Mr . Lovett ' s address , and that the ¦ eeretary be instructed to forward it to ilr . Sankey . " A vote of tbviVs was then moved and carried to Mr . Taylor , for his exposure of tha secret movement After a vote of thanks to Mr . Anderson for his lecture , and another to the Chairman , the meeting separated . !

MANCHESTER . —On Sunday evening last , the Rev . TV . N . Jackson , delivered a very impressive sermon on thB conduct of the clergy and the influence they possess over the people in general . Daring his discourse he was very heavy on the . zig-zag policy of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Co ., exhorting the people to stand by the present plan , to work it in unity and love , and it would not be in the power of the base and sordid middle class to prevent the Charter from becoming the law of the land ; at the same time showing that it was the power possessed by the middle class exerted upon the Government , the clergy , and tie army , that kept the people in- bondage . A collection was made for the wives and families of tie imprisoned Chartists .
BRADFORD . —( Wilts . )—On Saturday , the 17 tt » , Mr . Charles Bolwell , the Chartist lecturer for the county of Wilts , gave a lecture in White Hill Chapel , on the principles of the People ' s Charter ; the lecture was not so well attended as was expected , through the notice net being generally , understood . The lecturer handled the subject in a masterly manner , which gave general satisfaction . After brief addresses from ijeawa Niblett and Carrier , the meeting broke up . LONDON . —( Westminstee . )—At a meeting of the
Cbartista , held at the Charter Coffee Souse , Struttom around , on the 18 Vh inst , a spirited discussion toot , place on Messrs . Lovettand Cd * . * 8 plan of organisation : at ' the close of the discussion , it was resolved unanimously that this meeting views with contempt the selfish and destructive plan of Messrs . Lovett and others , to cause a division amongst the friends and supporters of the Charter ; it is unjustifiable and unnecessary , therefore , we disapprove and condemn the whole proceedings , and will do all we can to support and make permanent the present organisation of the people .
STAPLEFORD , neab Nottingham . —At a meeting of the members of this Association , held on Monday night , it was unanimously resolved , that as we consist principally of young unmarried men , no measure short of the People ' s Charter would be of any benefit to us ; we therefore pledge ourselves to stand by the Manchester Executive . We * will have no humbug ; therefore we enter our protest against John Collins , or any other person not enrolled in the National Charter Association , being sent to the Convention . We are not to -be gulled by the long catalogue of humbugs—the mouse-trap smells too strong of Dan !— " the rint , * oys , the rint ! " —but we want no humbugs—let the " cock-tails" go .
BRADFORD . —The Chartists of Bradford met on Sunday evening , at six o ' clock , at the house of Mr . Carrodus , North Tavern , Wapping . After a deputation had been appointed to wait on the anti-Corn Law Committee te demand a discussion , the circular of Messrs . Lovett and Co , was read , and the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the Chartists of Bradford are satisfied with the present legal organisation of the National Charter Association of Great Britain , and believes the attempt made by Messrs . Lovett , Collins , Hetberington ,
and Co . to commence a counter agitation , will be productive of evil ; and we regret to hear of men who were called and believed to be honest and sincere in their denunciations of oppression and class legislation , now attempting to delude the people who confided in them , by aiding and abetting a system calculated to sever the bonds of political'b rotherhood now existing in England , Scotland , and rapidly progressing in Ireland , and are determined to discountenance any such attempt , and hold in utter contempt such degenerate tools ef middleclass oppressors . "
BIRMINGHAM . —Hcrrah fob THE Movement . —The National Charter Association is making rapid progress in this town . There has been hard work for the last month ; but determination and perseverance have overcome all obstacles . Th e room in Freeman-street is crowded every meeting night , and the real staff of former Radical Unions , both male and female , are rallying round the standard of liberty with zeal and enthusiasm . -Mr . Martin ' s addresses have produced a lasting effect in this town , and there is now little doubt that Birmingham , which was selected by the Rational , Teetotal , Educational , Household Chartists , as their head quarters , has slipped through their fingers ; they will bs constrained to Beek a fresh shop . Hurrah for the brave " fustian jackets !"'
Lxcturk . —On Sunday evening , a lecture was delivered by Mr . Win . Martin , previous to his departure to Coventry , where he had been invited for a week . He went at great length into the causes which produced the misery now existing in society , and afterwards adverted to the secret move , for the exposure of which he considered the Editor of the Star entitled to the thanks of every Chartist in the country . He then proceeded to show that Christian Chartism was not the best method for uniting men of various creeds and denominations , although he admitted the right of all men to hold whatever religious belief they thought best He was pleated to see so many of his country * men attending their meetings ; for although Mr .
O'Connell and his' minions might denounce the Chartists of England as enemies to Ireland , he could tell them from his own experience , that Ireland had not better friends than the English Chartists ; it should not be said that because they would not support O'ConneU ' s humbug , that they were opposed to the liberties of Ireland . He hoped that every Irishman residing in this country would unite with their fellow sufferers , and struggle for the emancipation of both countries . After some able remarks from Mr . WUliamsou and others , the meeting separated well pleased with the worthy lecturer ' s animated and clever address . Mr . Martin ' s humorous style of speaking has made him a decided favourite in Birmingham .
CEAHT 1 ST MEETISG AT FKEEMAS-STREET . —The usual weekly meeting of the members of the National Charter Association and others , took place on Monday evening last . The room was crowded to excess ; upwards ot 100 females were present , and the greatest harmony and good feeling prevailed . Mr . Thomas Goodacre was called to the chair , and after a brief address introduced Mr . Win . Dean TayloT . Mr . Taylor said be came there that evening prepared to prove that the working classes of this country were slaves , it should therefore be his task to shew the cause of that slavery . Their slavery arose solelyfrom class legislation . Some stated that the miseries of the people sprung from their immorality and irreligion , some from the want of education , and others from the existence of the Com Laws ; but he
maintained that class legislation and that only was the cause ; every man present was a slave , and every wife , daughter , and sou , were slaves also in reality . He said they needed not to visit the nations on the continent to witness human wretchedness . Pfo , it was before them in every street both by day and by night , want and misery stalked forth in the s » called Christian Birmingham . If the truth was declared it might be written on the gable end of every building , on the front of every professed tsmple of truth , over the doors of the courts of injustice , universal suffering and Egyptian slavery caused by class legislation . He then pointed out in a clear argumentative style the origin of poverty in this country . The clergy preached that God made it , others said it came from the devil , but for the benefit of religious professors they would endeavour to ascertain how
it came , who made it , and henceforth father the blame upon the right parties . He then enquired if God created distinct castes or degrees of rank?—¦ whether all men were not equal in creation?—and whether plenty was not bountifully provided for ail by the Author of Nature ? Mr . Taylor then adverted to the New Poor Law Amendment Act , and showed op its monstrous injustice , and concluded his address by showing the necessity of TJnion and organisation , and exhorted all men and women who had not previously done so , to enroll their names in the National Charter Association . —Mr . Edwards then rose for the purpose of moving a resolution . He said that the circumstances connected with it were bo wellkaswn that he need make no comment on it , but allow the resolntiofl to speak for itself . It was as follows
" Teat the Chartists ef Birmingham , in public meeting assembled , do look with serrow and disgust upon the attempted secret movement of Messrs . Lovett , Collins , Vincent , ONeil , Hetherington , Cleave , and Co . ; and view it as a base , cunning , anc traitorous attempt to barter the liberties of the millions for a cemtury to come , by fawning upon , bowing to , and courting the middle classes , who have ever proved themselves our greatest and most inveterate foes , who already possess the franchise , and by its means trample the toiling Blaves to death ; and further , we can never recognise any man , or number of men , ( however dear they may have been to us in time pastj no matter whether they call themselves Chartists , Christian Chartists , or teetotal Chartists , unless
they now prove their determination to push on the grand national agitation , by joining the National Charter Association—and we also declare , that we never can , or will , place confidence in those men who take the arch-traitor Din O'Connell for their director . We therefore send this , as our firm and solemn protest to the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland . " Mr . w . " D . Taylor seconded the motion , and made some pointed remarks . Mr . John Williamson supported it Mr . T . P . Green was glad to find that somebody had taken this matter up , as he had intended to propose a similar resolution . He heartily coincided in it Although no man worked harder than he did to support Mr . Collins whilst in prison , yet their conduct was « o glaring , tha \ there was not the least doubt that the parties named in the resolution were acting the part of
traitors . He begged to support the resolution . —The Chairman then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously , with the exception of three hands which were held up against , it A' subscription was then entered into for the purpose of fitting up the room , and defraying the expenses of the lecturer of Birmingham ; after which , fifteen persons enrolled their names as members of the National Charter Association . It was announced that meetings were held every Monday and Wednesday evenings , at half-past seven , and that a lecture was delivered on Sunday evenings , at half-past six ; and that reading and discussion would take place every Sunday morning , at ten o ' clock . The aub-Secretary also gave notice that a balance-sheet of the Association receipts and expenditure would be produced on Monday evening next The meeting then separated .
The MEMBEBS of the National Charter Association residing in Birmingham intend to remit £ l to Leeds , next week , as thei" quota of the fund for the support of the delegates in London ; and request , that when the ballot is taken , Mr . Martin ' s name ahall be placed as their representative . Ten shillings , from Stonr-) ridge , which now lies in the Treasurer ' s bands , wilj be forwarded at the same time , and for the same purpose .
