giness of the parties for the discharge of the duties to be imposed . It will be a great day for England and for Leeds yfhen the da ; of trial shall come . For our men we ggtertain not the slightest apprehension . They will fcjnmp h ; because reason , knowledge , and common geuse are upon their side . Is every other town in Eng land as well prepared for the coming straggle as frs are ! If oot , let them np and be doing . Many , we are proud to find , are so . Rochdale is a ]] alive , and Crawford is all right .
The brave little band of patriots at Hull will do gieir duty nobly . We hare now no fear that fHOJtPsos will be sent to stop the power for evil of tie money Member . Let them but be guarded jjje only difficulty in all coalitions with Whig Perils is to watch tham with sufficient closeness . They are slippery as eels , and poisonous as rattlegaakes . It is a hazardous experiment to touch them , even with a long pole . However , let the Hull Qjartists look out at the polling day . Let &em be in no hurry to Tote ; but la * them watch the Whigs—let iliem constantly inspect th «
poll clerk ' s books , and see that every Yellow snake splits fairly ; and , if any signs appear of a disposition to shirk the Colonel - let [ them keep back in a body till the last—and U » Te the Kilkenny cats to fight out the " spree" till they see which is the strongest ; if the Tories can beat their opponents without help , let them do so ; if not , go at once in a sufficient body just to turn the scale , and so leave them . Bradford has , we perceive , another Chartist candidate in the field , Mr . Sixpsos , whose manly address we publish elsewhere . The Chartists here are in high glee , and feel sure of winning .
One piece of information , from our London correspondent , we are unable rightly to comprehend . He tells us , speaking of the Tower Hamlets movements , that Mr . Thompson , the son of Colonel Thompson , is supported by the working Chartists , bat not backed by any of the leaders . We trust onr correspondent ha 3 been misinformed . We cannot suppose thai the leading Chartists - of London can sm in the field au opponent of the Whig
nominee , on Chartist principles , declaring for the whole ¦ Charter and something more , without rendering all the aid they can . At all crenSs u the lads" are light . If the leaders hang back , this is the time to show them that they are an unnecessary clog upon the wheel of liberty , which can very well turn round without them . Have at the Whigs , at all events , good London Chartists ! Down with " the bloody Whigs P
What is the City about . We hope the new Eleciion Committee will take care to stir up " Johjct " -and the four tones " with & long pole . " In Leicester two Chartist candidates are to be brought forward to contest the Northern Division of the County . Canvassers are appointed to visit the districts and beat up for funds—the sinews of this glorious war—to report to the County Delegate Meeting on Sunday week . They must have a ch « ering account to render . Let the struggle be made at © nee , and cheerfully . 2 sow or never is the time for action—the downfall of Whiggery will be the first stone in the foundation of the sacred temple of Liberty , in which our children and our children ' s children shall worship the God of their fathers .
Upon the whole , " the land Iie 3 well" and the prospect is most cheering . The people are bestirring them right nobly . They are doing their work well They have " taken their affairs into their -own hands" and prosperity shall follow . England Ehall no longer to be a slave-land . Englishmen SHALL sot losgeb . be slaves ! They have willed their freedom ; they have proved their title to it ; they have proved themselves worthy -of it , and freedom they mcst and shall have ! Death or Liberty ! No Surrender ! Onward we obnquer ; backward we will not go !

Harney ^ upon the subject of his letter when the period of his lectureship draws to a close . R . Mabsden . —Mr . O'Connor begs to ask why Ii . Marsden , one of the most honest Chartists in the world , and the nan who drew tears from the flmty eyes of the Birmingham patriots and the
London reporters , is alloiced to work fijteen hours a day for seven shillings per ireek , while there is such a demand for Chartist lecturers ? Marsden is a modest men ; but why not drag him from his loom into the field . Mr . O'Connor seys , if it will not be considered " offensive" or " despotic , ' he will most cheerfully become one of Marsden ' s paying pupils , for lecturing , in any locality . Ma . O'Ct >> "NOB begs us to say , that he cannot possibly answer one half of the Utters he receives ; and thai he will not , in any instance , interfere with the Chartists in the local management of their electioneering affairs . They know their own business best ; and are responsible to the body for every act they do . They are all doing n&bly ;
and only the disappointed tempters complain . Mb . O'Cossob answers no private letter upon politics : he keeps no secrets with the enemy . Wx .

He asks w

*** % ^ i *^* Vxmcui hat sent us a Utter addressed » } tor ° f the stirlin g observer , in reply to en attack made upon him in that paper . It seems the Editor of the Stirling Observer-has denounced Mr . Duncan at a person u destitute of the plainest principles of political economy . " Mr . D . challenges the Editor to discuss with him any question of political economy before a public meeting of the inhabitants of Stirling , or of any ether town in the country . Being challenged by the Editor of the Observer to " try his hand * either in Stirling or Falkirk . Mr . D . states htmself to be ready , at a moment ' s notice , to discuss Chartism , or Corn Law repeal , in either of these towns whenever he may be invited there by and he
working men ; offers a like challenge to any or all of the lecturers in the pay of the anti-Corn Law league , fledging himself to procure for them a large meeting and an attentive audience , and to refute all their clap-trap tophistry . r A Constant Reader gives good advice to the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland ; but which , we apprehend , would be better understood and appreciated in the columns of the Methodist Magazine than in those of the Northern Star . w National .

John Mullholland . — We have no room . A London Democrat is quite wrong if he supposes that we have either forgot or underrate the exertions of Mr . Harney . " The Patriot ' s Call" cannot be heard in our columns . Richard Ellis writes to complain that , at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Cambden , holden in the Infant School Room , at that place , and called by the sound of bell , after a temperance meeting , on Thursday last , the Hear being in the chair , and expatiating in favour of what is called the moderation principle , to the disparagement of teetotalism , Mr . Ellis hissed , when the Rev . Vicar immediately ordered him to be turned out
of the room , which he prevented from being done by making himself scarce . Ocb Ma . \ chsstsb Correspondent complains that when his long reports of lectures , § c , are cut down ii a paragraph he gets into kt hot water " about the matter . Now , for the satisfaction of all who may be concerned in it , we beg to state , once for all , that the chief fault we have had occasion te find with our excellent correspondent has been that his reports are almost always too lengthy . They are nearly always greatly compressed after we receive them . And if the parties who complain would come and sit at our desk for a . week or two , they weuld find out the absolute necessity for this . There is nothing our friends seem so pertinaciously determined to forget as that we have but one Northern Star
for all-England , Ireland , and Scotland . "The Day of Retribution" must tarry awhile . D . M'M . — We see nothing wonderful in ( he matter : it may very likely have been a letter from the General-Post-office , in reply to some enquiry forwarded from the party previous to his leaving Edinburgh . If D . M'M . be very curious about it , the better tcay would be to make his enquiry of the person named in his letter . A Constant Reader , at Dundee . — We are unable to answer either of his questions : ire have no other information on the subject than that which he himself has seen in the Star . Mr . Wat . Martin wishes us to say that all communications' for him must , for the present , be addressed to the care of Mr . James Ibbetson , bookseller , Bradford , Yorkshire . R , ' Brook . —His letter has been sent to Mr .
CampbelL - " The Kilkenny Cats" next week . Wa . Colleti . —Every communication which icehmve received from Banlury has been inserted . J . S . Y . —The case is indeed an " awful and alarming" one . We shall probably return to it hereafter . Want of space forbids it at present , but it will not qrow stale . A Chichtster Chartist . —Thanks for his information : it may be useful , though we do not think its insertion wou d be prudent . Executive . —Mr . Campbell , the secretary , wants the addresses of the Chartists in Hull , Keighley , Dal-¦ ston , Heckmondwike , Colne , Blackburn , Sunderland , Nantwich , Leeds , Dewsbury , Chester
Chesterfield , Congleton , Walsall , and all other places that have not already forwarded him them . Mr . Campbell ' s address is 18 , Adderleystreet , Shaw ' s Brow , Manchester . Wm . Russell , — We had "prudential" reasons fer the non-insertion of his previous communication ; but those reasons had nothing to do with the " Post-office order" to which he refers . " One"'who would be free /'—We thank him for the expression of his good opinion , and hope aliccys to deserve it . The demands upon our space at this electioneering time preclude the possibility of our inserting correspondence . S . Biggs — W > have no room .
Wm . Skibbotv should have come tciih his letter to tell us what it means . Peter M'Bropht , of No . 4 , Wormwood-gate , Dublin , wiahes to have the address of the Secretary of the Newry Charter Association . Addresses-to the Peofle on their Duty at the Elections . — He have received scores of documents of this character from individuals and from various local counci ' s , all tending to show the deep anxiety felt by the people , and their interest in the great national game about to be played off before them . Most of them are of respectable composition ; and they all breathe one spirit of annihilation to the "bloodies "—no matter by what means .
Homo , a middle class man , but a Chartist , who writes from an agricultural village iri Somersetshire , gives a sad picture of the ignorance and serfdom of the people in that neighbourhood , and strongly recommends to the Executive the sending of Chartitt missionaries into the agricultural districts , to rouse the population of the villages and small market-towns , especially of West Somerset , which seems to have been entirely neglected . The people , he says , are smarting under a sense of their wrongs , but are ill informed as to thdr origin . They need only a political teac ' -er to raise amongst them a host of thorough-bred Chartists , going " the whole hog , bristles and

Ancient Romans . —On Monday , this steadily processing body opened a senate at the hous « of Mr . . Fleming , the Yorkshire Hossar Inn , York-street , waen a n » mber of respectable individuals were initiated , who , with the general officers of the society , spent the evening in the utmost conviviality . The name adopted by the new senate is " Constantino the Great . "
Fatal Accident . —On Saturday last , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn . Esq ., on the body of John Dixon , of Oulton . The deceased was a whiting miller , employed at the ileet Mills , near this town , and on Friday morning week , previous to commencing his work , was engaged in oiliDg some part of the machinery connected with aBtamper . For this purpose he had a ladder to enable him to reach the more elevated parts ; and whilst standing on the ladder , it would seem that it bad slightly slipped , which threw him from his position , and his hand was caught between two cog wheels . The whole of his fingers on one hand were broken , and the hand itself much shattered . He was taken at once ti the Leeds Infirmary , where for some days he appeared to be recovering ; severe inflammation , however , supervened , and he died on Friday , from the effects of his injuries . Verdict" Accidental death . "
A Brute . —On Monday last , a fellow named John Marvell , a cloth-dresser , residing in Springstreet , Bank , was brought before Messrs . Masgrave and Nell , at the Court House , charged with a brutal assault , on his own son , an interesting looking lad about nine years of age . The prisoner went home on Saturday night , between seven and eight o clock , in & Btate of intoxication , and as soon as he entered the house , he took a plate containing some provisions which had been saved for his dinner , and threw it under the fire-grate . Upon seeing this , his wue , who knewfrom sad experience the violence of his temper , left the house , and his wrath then burst upon his unoffending child , who had been pnt to bed ; he struck him over the head and different parts of the body , with a fire-poker , and with a discs of
wood , and to such an extent was his violence carried , that surgical aid was obliged to be obtained . and for some time it was doubtful whether the injuries would not terminate fatally ; it was fortunate for the prisoner that such was not the ca 3 e . Meanwhile the police were sent for , and the child removed and put to bed . The prisoner then being left alene in his house , went up stairs and attempted to set it on fire , and an alarm was soon raised that smoke was issuing out of an upper window . A policeman then went ra and found the prisoner laid all his leDgth on the floor , and at once took him into custody , whilst another threw some water into the bed-room . It was found that he had taken a shovel full of fire up stairs , and thrown some combustibles upon it , which had a narrow
escape of setting the premises on fire . These circumst&ncea were detailed , and the manner in which the unfortunate victim of brutal violence gave his evidence against his father , caused a thrill of horror in the court . The fellow having been asked what he had to say for himself replied that he did not know any thing about it—he was so drunk that he did not know what he did . Mr . Musgrave told him that did not at all lessen his crime ; he did not remember at any time having a more outrageous case brought before him , and the magistrates were sorry they could not inflict a more severe punishment than that which the law empowered them to do in such cases . They should , however , go to the full extent . He was then fined £ 5 , and in default of payment was sent to Wakefield House of Correction for two months .
STROUD . —Civilitt and Truth-speaking Habits of M . P . ' s , Specially Interesting to the Electors of Stroud . —Mr . Martin , who was oue of the deputation from the Petition Convention to the Hon . Members for this borongh , Mr . Poulctt Scrope and little Lord John , gives the following account of his mission : — " Four times we waited on the little Lord , and though it was at the hour of one in the afternoon , we were informed he was in bed , the place where the deputation found him when they waited on him in behalf of poor Frost , and when
he made use of ths following language : — The Privy Conncil have agreed to save his life ; but I am sorry for it . ' We were told that his private secretary would send an answer to a circular which we left ; but it never came to hand . Now for Mr . Sciope . We called at his house at noon , when the servant said that he had ordered his horse , which would be at the door at one o ' clock , and then he would hear what we had to say . We were there at the time , the horse was ready , but you will scarcely believe me when I tell you that his footman was msirueic-d to sav he was ill in bed . "
BAB . NSLEY .-Weavers' Turnout . —A meeting was held on Monday , the 14 'h inst ., to hear the report of the Committee . Evtry satisfaction was given by those men to their fellow-workmeu . There appears every prospect of success , though it is entailing a great deal of distress upon poor workmen , ¦ who are only striving to protect their wages from the inroads of a tyrant . There has been a uniformity of wages ever since two of our noble minded patriots were transported in 1821 . There was also a great meeting of the weavers of Dodworth , on Monday afternoon , when eloquent appeals were made by Messrs . Shaw and Alexander , and all classes protested that they would support the weavers .
BRISTOL — Ticket meetings are the order of the day here , and the Whigs are trying all their arts to gull the trades ip . to the support of Mr . Berkeley . A grand public meeting , on " Free Trade" principles was called for Monday night , in Ryan ' 3 Amphitheatre ; but , like all other meetings of late , it was not only " tirketted , " but packed with the dupe * of the " Piague , " in order that eo inconvenient a subject as discussion might not find room to enter . It was also well guarded by police . AJr .
C pbdcu , of Manchester , of bludgeon notoriety , with his company of free traders , was in attendance ; and , in one of his flowery , unmeaning speeches , threw dust in the eye 3 of his dupes , aud blinded them to their own interest . Free trade was declared to be the panacea for all the grievances under which we labour . Mr . Berkeley was expected to ihow , but , though loudly called for , he did not come , and a promise was held out that he would be present on a future evening . The meeting then broke up .

Busfield , is at present favouring the inhabitants with a proof of bis sympath y for the poor , by adding to their thousand and one burthens that of Eaeter Dues . He avows himself a firm supporter of the Church as it is , and declares his d-itermiuatioa to enforce its laws to the last , especially those which give him power over the purses of his parishioners . To prepare the way for this new claim , he sent rouud , some weeks ago , several females of his flock belonging to the midale class , who went into every house , hut , and cabin , kindly
iBqairing after the welfare of the inhabitants , the number of the children , the schools and places of worship they attended , with other particulars , all of which they inserted in a book . It since turns out that these amiable women were employed by their reverei ; d pastor in bringing him a correct account of the stale ot his flock , preparatory to their undergoing the operation of the shears , as a collector ia i . ow £ i > in £ round informing the blind , lame , and starving that nothing can screen them from payment , and that , distraints on their goods will certainly be made in case of a refusal . This commencement of
the ministerial duties of a man who has already between two and three thousand pounds a year , more e .- ^ P' -cially at a time like the present , when few working people can get the common necessaries of life , is certainly a mark of kindness many of the poor did not expect , and which they will long remember with becoiuiug gratitude . ASHTON . Melancholy Occurrence . —On Saturday wctk , during the coufirmation held at St . Tnomas ' s Church , Athton , near Wigan , a very serious event took place , and which arose from a momentary unfounded report in the west gallery that it was giving way . This was about half-past six o ' clock , ac which time the bishop had just conciuded confirming the females , when a crack was
heard in the western gallery , as if from the back ot one of the seats , occasioned by pressure ; this immediately caused an impression ou the minds of several persons that the gallery was giving way under them , just in front where the organ is sitnated . At the impulse of the moment , a general alarm was created , which was considerably heightened by one ef the singers telling those standing near him that the gallery was giving way , and requested them to go out quietly ; which advice , unfortunately , was not followed . A simultaneous rush instantly took place towards the gallery stairs , and , in the hurry and confusion to get out , numbers of females fell at the bottom of the stairs , and scores following hard on in the fright ,
also f . 11 over them until the staircase was completely filled up , the females being literally piled one on the other nearly to the ceiling . The screaming at this moment was heart-rending ; but the poliee , after several ineffectual efforts , at last succeeded m extricating them from their awful predicament . The whole of the persons remained jammed together for nearly twenty minutes , aud the weight of so many from the upper part of the stairs pressing downwards rendered the situation of those underneath truly appalling . One aged female was so mnch injured that she died the same evening , but although a great number of othevs were seriously injured , they are all at present in a fair way of recovery .

NEWCASTLE . Ma . Editor , —By giving insertion to the following correspondence you will greatly oblige the Chartists of this district I remain , Sir , Yours truly , James Sinclair , Sub-Secretary . Newcastle , Sid June , 1841 . Sib , —I was instructed , at a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town , to request yon to become a candidate for the suffrage of NewcastI « -upon-Tyne at the anticipated election . The committee are busy can-Yawing the electors , several hundreds of whom have promised to support whatever candidate , of Chartist principles , may be brought forward . An answer at your earliest convenience , stating the terms upon which you would accept of our invitation , will greatly oblige . Sir , ' Yours truly , in the cause of truth , JAmes Sinclair , Secretary . To James Bronterre O'Brien , Esq ., Lancaster Castle . MR . O ' BRIEN'S ANSWER . Lancaster Castle , June « th , 1841 . My dear Sir , —I have this moment received your very flattering and gratifying communication , and lose not a moment in replying to it By all means , and at all hazards , take advantage of the forthcoming general election , to procure , if possible , a real national representation for the country ; and tell the men of Newcastle , it affords me infinite gratification to find tbem so rigorously alive to the true interests and honoar of their town , as to bo amongst the first to assert , practically , the right of the non-electors to a full participation in the benefits of representative government . Now or never is the time to strike an ffective blow for the liberties of the people ; and if
the men of Newcastle will only do , what you say they are preparing to do , they will have sounded the death knell of tyranny for ever , and covered themselves with immortal glory . Tell them , by all means , that my services are at their disposal , for whatever kind of work they may cut out for me , provided it involve no compromise of principle , or deviation from the great CHARTER , to which we all stand pledged ; and tell them also that , with the exception of Brighton , there is not another town in the United Kingdom I would be more proud to represent than the spirited town of Newcwtle-npon-Tyne , although there are upwards of twenty towns in the kingdom that weuld prefer me for their representative to any other man in the country , excepting Feargus O'Connor . Newcastle , I
believe , sends two Members to Parliament ; more than nine-tenths of its inhabitants are small tradesmen , mechanics , and working men , who , although the real authors of whatever prosperity the town enjoys , are wholly unrepresented in feelings and interests by either , or both , of the present sitting members !—this must no longer be . Tis perfectly infamous that only one-tenth part of your population composed of land and house lords , ship-owners , Merchants , usurers , lawyers , brokers , and parsons—fellows who would swaUow up ten times more than you all produce , ( if they could get it , ) without yielding you any corresponding advantage , and still be unsatisfied and ungrateful— 'tis perfectly infamous , I say , that this grasping , heartless , workless fraction of your
population , should have two representatives , while you , the industrious nine-tenths , constituting the worth and strength of your town , should have no representative at all . ' !! In Gtod and the people's name , then , put an end to this abominable anomaly at the forthcoming election . Unless either of the two ruling factions will agree to coalesce and split votes with you , so as to { rive you man for man , i . e . member for member , oppose both alike upon the hustings ; return yeur own men by show of bands , and stick by them when yon have returned them , resolved to recognise no other as your representatives . If , for instance , you return me , for want of a better , I pledge myself to stick by you to the death , bo long as you stick by me ; and if the rest of the country will not go and do likewise , they may go to the D—1 , for they will deserve to die as they have lived , miserable , unpitied slaves . Oh f if the
Chartist press would but give tip their dirty , jealous , personal squabbles , and for once act an honourable , manly part , how soon we should see four hundred good men and true , ready to take the field , and be put in nomination , and beat both factions , on every hustings , at the approaching elections ! Bat , may-bap , it is not yet too late . Let the men of Newcastle , at all evtnts , set thtm a good example . Let the brave men of the Xyne set the ball a-going with spirit , and may-bap , notwithstanding all the folly and treachery we have experienced , the game may be taken up by the men of Sunderland and Durham , who will kick the ball into Yorkshire and Lancashire , who will kick it again into the midland disiricts , and so on , till it rolls along southwards into London , and thence right into St . Stephen ' s Chapel , where , I trust , it will carry speaker , mace , and all , before it ! . ' /
Until I hear from you again , and know more of your condition and prospects , I can offer no further suggestions aa to . the course you should pursue . I BhaU expect , however , to hear from you soon again , and meanwhile be pleased to convey my affectionate regard and sincere tbanks to the men of Newcastle , for the honour they have done me , and the gratifying proof they have given of the confidence reposed in me—a confidence of which I feel most proud to be the depository , and which , I hope , they shall never have cause to regret as misplaced . Please also to inform them that I should instantly issue an address to them through the newspapers , but that , through an unexampled stretch of despotism , I am cut off from all communication with the press . But more of this when I write again . Meanwhile , I remain , My dear Sir , Very sincerely your's James Bronterre O'Brien . To Mr . James Sinclair .

- - — ^^^ ™~^*^^~"'~ EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MR . O'BRIEN , IN ANSWER TO ONE FROM MR . BOWMAN , OF CARLISLE . Lancaster Castle , June 14 th , 1841 . MY dear Bowman , —I have received yours of the 12 th instant , with the enclosed printed address , aud am most gratified to find by both that the men of Carlisle mean to do their duty to themselves uu < l country at the approaching election . Now or never ( as I before observed ) is the time to strike an-effective blow at both facti-. ms . If the unrepresented people let this opportunity slip through tiitir
hands , they will sup sorrow for their ue < itct , and that for many a long dreary day ! For , believe me , Bo * man , that unless we can accomplish at the coming elections , one or the other of these two things—namely , tither the admission of some fifty Chartist Members into the 7 tew House of Commons , or failing thaf , the creation of a great National Council , consisting o some 200 or 300 Chartist representatives of the people , openly and fairly elected by the show of hands at the principal elections throughout the kingdom—unless , I say , we accomplish either or both of these ohjtcts at the coming elections , it is my decided opinion that a bloudy revolution is not far distant .
If , however , we can accomplish either or both ox these objects , the revolution may be averted , for then the millions will have a something to look to-a something to sustain their fainting hopes , and stand between ( h * m and despair—a something to induce them to wait a little longer , before abandoning , all hope of legal and peaceubie redress , they take their affairs into tlieir own hands , and result to the . ultima B . ATIO ef armed force to rigM Uiemselves . It they can get some forty or fifty of their owa friends into the House of Commons , it will b « a sign that the upper and middle classes have at last began to recognise their just claims ; and that circumstance , as well as the h » pe of seeing something done for them by the Parliamentary exertions of their newly-elected friends , will postpone , if not entirely extinguish , all schemes of a revolutionary character .
But if the two factions will not permit this—if neither ef them will coalesce , and split their votes with tbfc Chartista , so as to yield the latter a party in the House of Commons—in Bhort , if the factions are determined to have the entire representation of the country to themselves , and to leave 6 , 000 , 000 of adult working men without any representation at all , then there will be but one Bheet anchor for us— but one solitary plonk between us and the fathcmless gulf of r « volution j th »' t plank is the Great Nuliouul Council , to b « elected b ' y a show of hands .
This Council , as the depository of the nation ' s confidence , will at once Berve as a constitutional rallying point for the outraged mi ' . lioHS , aud as a barrier against revolution , by enabling them to carry ou ti . e war of right against their oppressors , without violating tno

law , or endangering the peace of society . Its business will be to negociate with the Government ( in the name of the nation which has just clothed it with tt > confidence and authority ) an Act of Settlement , which shall at once make the People ' s Charter the law of the land , and establish such guarantees for the protection of property , as will relieve both rich and poor from all apprehensions of want , or the fear * f want . How that could be done , I have already explained in some of our conversations , when we met in Carlisle . Togo over the matter here , would occupy too much space , and , after all , would be only the opinion of one man . Besides , on the National Council would , of ceurse , devolve the task of framing the Act of Settlement , and therefor * all we have to consider now is , how to render that Council as full and complete a representation of the people as possible .
It can be dene only by every man doing bis duty at the elections . Let every county , city , and borough bare its candidates ready to be put in nomination ; let no Chartist be absent from the hustings on the day of nomination ; let no Chartist hand be held np for Whig or Tory on that day , but let every Chartist band be held up , when the show of hands is taken , for the Chartiat candidates ; and thus let both factions be made to see , to their « bame and sorrow , that they form but a miserable , despised fraction of the population . To save the future expence and inconvenience of having too many candidates elected , it might be well to have the same candidates elected for two or more places in the same county or distriet Thus the same parties might represent Newcastle , Morpeth , and North Shields , in Northumberland ,- and two other candidates Giteshead , South Shields , and Snnderland , in Durham . But the people themselves are the best judges on this point ; so to the people let us leave it .
Even if the National Council wtre not to meet when the new Parliament meets—were it absolutely to do nothing after its election , every member of it remaining at home , and occupying himself as he does now—8 tilleven on this hypothesis , it is of the utmost consequence to have them elected ; for , we know not the moment , ( in critical times like these , ) when the services of such a body may be required , to take advantage of some national crisis , in behalf of the millions that elected them . Now , remember that in troubled times you can have no elections I— and that' the only authority competent to act for the people in such times is the authority they have themselves created in time of peace . Under all circumstances , therefore , the existence of such a body as the projected National Council , is essentially necessary to our purposes at the present time .
I am extremely glad to see that the advice given by the Northern Star last week corresponds exactly with the substance of what I have suggested to my friends all over the country—including my former letters to yourself and Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle . By all means . I repeat , coalesce with either faction , that will bonajide coalesce with you , on terms of reciprocal advantagethat is , on the conditions of splitting their votes with you , and giving you man tor man in the representation of the Borough . But if neither will split their votes with you , then down with both factions alike—set up your own candidates , and look to none else , either beore « r after the election .
There is but one part of the Star's advice I regret to see—one part from which I dissent in toto . I mean the Editor ' s recommendation to support Tories against Whigs , in case the Chartists should not be able to return their own candidate . I cannot possibly concur in this advice , nor will any of my friends throughout the country . Our business , as Char tists , is , I repeat , to disavow both factions alike , even as they have disavowed us , and to make no distinction whatever between them , saving where they choose to make the distinction themselves , by agreeing to coalesce and split their votes with our party . That is the only possible case in which we can recognise either faction without compromising our principles , and degrading ourselves as a party . What ! vote for a Tory , merely to keep ouS a Whig J Vote for a villain who waits to
put down me , and my principles , and my party , by brute force , merely to get rid of another villain who has tried the same game , and failed ! No ! d—n me . ' if I do . If I wen to help either villain against the other , I should help the weaker villain , who has failed , rather a tban the stronger one , who is about to cashier him for his failure , and to whom all that is black and blue in the land , looks for the suppression of Chartism . And as to the new hocuf pocus policy of promoting Chartism by inundating the next House of Commons with Toryism , I cannot find language capable of expressing my contempt for it .. O'Connor is certainly mad , if he imagines it ; for I am certain he could never swallow such a gross lump of Cobbettisin in a moment of sober reflection . It is contrary to all his former recorded opinions , and utterly at variance with the policy ho so ably and manfully followed up against the Liberator and Champion . Let the
Chartists but once make common cause with the Tories , no matter for what purpose , and that moment they annihilate themselves morally as a political party , and prepare the way for their physical extinction , by the very villains they would league with , covertly supported by the other villains they leagued against . With what face could any Chartist hereafter camplain of Tory violence or Tory atrocity , if he had but lent a helping hand towards placing tbem in power , and that , well-knowing all the time , that their principal object in getting power was to crush him and exterminate his principles by the force of hired assassins ? I tell you , Bowman , that the Chartist who votes for a Tory , unless that Tory votes for him , is either a fool or a traitor . Down with both factions ! —and no distinction !—that should be our cry . Yours , &c . James B . O'Brien .
[ We give two letters from Mr . O'Brien this week , — all we have room for . By the last paragraph above , it will be seen that Mr . O'Brien does not agree in the recommendation of the Star and Mr . O'Connor , as to the course to be pursued by Chartist voters at the approaching election . It is only by placing all opinions before the people that they can come to discreet conclusions , as to the course most likely to be profitable to their own cause . The Star and Mr . O'Connor but approved of that course of action which the people ef Nottingham decided npon adopting ; and in favour of which nearly the unanimous voice of the people has been expressed—and the effect of which has been the affording the people that opportunity which the whigs would have cheerfully deferred . The Nottingham election has caused a dissolution of Parliament—the Nottingham
election has caused the break-up of the only Ministry that has held power under what may be called the Reformed Constitution of this country ; and whoso acts Bhould consequently not be compared with the acts of those whose power the Reform Bill was to strangle ; and we regret exceedingly to find that vrkat Nottingham so wisely resolved and acted upon , and what the people , the Star , and the Convention bo highly approved of , should meet with the disapprobation of any Chartist If any defence of the Slar and Mr . O'Connor were necessary , we should only be justified in using that defence , if either had acted in contravention to the public will ; but what was our situation ? what was our duty ? and how have we discharged it ? are the questions for popular solution . Our situation was this : some denned
opinion was required at our bands . Our duty in delivering that opinion was' to take care that we compromised none of our own principles ; and to weigh wherein our opinions and those of the country harmonised or clashed . How did we discharge that duty ? Thus : the country appointed a Convention of thirteen persons , having their full and undivided confidence . We placed our own opinions in abeyance until we should have been in possession of the digest of the national will , through the only national representative body in existence . That digest we save—luminous , splendid , all-comprehensive , and convincing as it was : and we honestly confess that it must have been a strong leaning upon our side which the arguments therein contained would not have removed . But it so happened that our views and
the views of the Convention In . no wise differed . Hence the charge against Mr . O'Connor and the Star should be for having cheerfully followed and zealously worked out the unanimous opinion and express recommendation of that body , and we imagine that reference to dates will prove that while we were merely engaged in the organisation of public opinien and its preparation for acting upon the advice of the Convention , the Convention was in a higher stage and preparing for the direction of public opinion . Now , suppose the Star aud Mr . O'Cennor , even had they differed from the Convention , to have flown in the face of the National Representatives , would not both have been justly chargeable with
intolerance and d > spotism ? We regret exceedingly that any one act of ours , of Mr . O'Connor , or of the Convention , bhould have failed to command the entire approbation of so bold , so zealous , so able , so unflinching , and , upon almost every occasion , so uniformly discreet a teacher as Mr . O'Brien . However , if we had but the alternative of acting upon the opiiions and recommendations of Mr . O'Brien , or the Convention , anil if our opinions were to form the balance , and were they even unsettled , we have no hesitation in declaring that we would at once throw those opinions into the national scale . That we nave done ; and it will be for the people to decide how far they will follow the recommendations of the Convention , supported by O'Connor and the Star .
They will on this subject , as we ever wish them to do on all—take their own well-considered course —but we tell them that if they suffer themselves to be led away from their determination to beat down the ¦ " bloodies" at all ha * ards , they will bitterly repent it ]
