OV . ' . XKOR'S LETTER TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . [ We .-were last week obliged to cut Bhort Mr . O'Coniior ' s letter ; a mistake in directing of it through the Post Office having caused the latter portion of it bos to reach bs till after the paper was sent 10 press . At Mr . O'Connor ' s requert we this vreek give tie letter in its entire form . —
Ed . A . 5 . ] Mt dkab Psiewds , —Yoa united me , after my inearcrrtafion , io visit your country for the purpose , as jour letters stated , of proring that your affection towards ae had cot abated . In compliance with your wishes , I went to Scotland before I had viated any district of England , and after attending nearly fifty large meetings I had the heartfelt consolation to £ ' id that yon were a people worth suffering for ; whiie nothing mere increased my affection towards yoa than the hearty response with which my appeals oo fcrhalf of my native laHd were met .
F-. r seven years 1 hare laboured in England and ScoOsnd in the can ? e of national liberty ; and alth-.: £ h almost exiled from theloved land for which my / imil y have suffered an unprecedented martyrdom , jet have I at all times , ont of season and in seaf-n ;; , brought the woes of Ireland before'yon . Whc- I went amongst you in 1835 , 1 foand you disirac' - ^ d between the undefined tests of O'Conndi aad L'arham , as they were called ; and then , for the first lime , did I , in person , unite the whole of the working classes in one great national union . My gHbreijaeEt TJsits to Scotland hare been numerous and tspensire ; and it was my delight to hold you up ia 2 ii my speeches and writings as the stronghold of democracy .
In (> ctober and November last , I say , I attended Deaii } fifty large public meetings , at each and all of vfhich the National Petition was unanimously adop ^ d , while a distinct pledge to assist Ireland 5 n her sirugftle for redempiion was also carried . Daring itt sojourn , a National Convention of Scottish delfinsres was spoken of , and , without my knowledge ihe good men of Elderdey , the birth place of the iiiimoial Wallace , did me the honour to elect me
as ib : ir delegate , Ruiberglan followed the example of E-Ji-rsley , and by its election strengthened my hanc * Iy ^ the increased confidence . While I was in Scot -jxdno opposition , not any , was offered to the Katu- al Petition . No amendment was moved to rts adejton—all was unanimous , till those , whose duty i : was to preserve union , met in Conventicn cu the third day of January ; and to the proceedings of that body I shall now apply Biysei ?'
-I f h- ; ? 1 $ have written to you on the subject in last v ek ' s Slar , bat I preferred waiting . till you had the whole of the proceedings before you ; and even cow , in consequence of the neglect of my repcr : ? r , jou are in bat very imperfect possession of the racts . Nay , I cannot make head or tail ol his infernal trash myself , although I was present . I ma < : now relieve the proceedings from the obscuritv in which neglect and treachery have en-Telopt-i them .
On Monday , the 3 rd , the delegates met . I was not pr .-sent upon that day , and I have bo reason to regret my absence , as I learn that Brewster , the old torsient , occupied the whole day in an attempv io sow discord and confusion : he was bafied , however , by the good sense of the delegates . Nothing of more importance than putting down this firebrand occurred on Monday , beyond the very discreditable Biant . cr in which one of the Sjnod of Glasgow procured his election . Brewster said that any four or fiv * persons might elect a delegate ; and on the insiair off ran Mr . Charles M'Ewin to a few houses called Gavan , tapped at a few doors , which were opeEc-f , and on Tuesday their pioss representative preset ed his credentials and was admitted ; thus leaving Gation and Old Sarum in the shade . * -
You .-hall now hear how the principle of equa representation was practically carried out by the Church- Chartist Synod of Glasgow . Fifty-four delegates was the greatest number that voted , and of these £ ;" iy-four Glasgow alorie returned seventeen 3 Aye , .-eventeen ! and of tbose seventeen the following wue Whigs—rank Whigs , and compose the Chartist Presbytery of Glasgow : —M'Farlane , he va said to be elected for Moatrose , Malcolm , ( for som country district ) , Pattesos , Currie , Jact , M'Ewin ^ Dixon , Ca ^ y ^ i Bodgers , and some other wbose e name 1 da not recollect . Now . ail these ran about
like rate , endeavouring to get a eonstitnency ; and I y . m bul-. i to assert that altogether they did not represent 5 'K ) of the working classes of any part of the world . Added to these we had Brewster , and three of his tools chosen by the shopkeepers of Paisley , tad a person of the namn of Mitchell , elected at a twopenny ticket aeeting at Aberdeen , one of the Calton HiH bucks ; and subsequently one of the ¦ new move" gentry . Now , Proudfoot , Boss , Colqufcoun , and Meyers , ( the treasurer of the Chartist ChBreh ) , as fine a fellow as lives , and myself were also etee . ed for parts of Glasgow , Messrs . Proudfoot and Kf'sa being bound down by the instructions of
their eonstitaenss . Thus , there were tea Glasgow preachers , all Whig" —not a drop of Chartist blood in their veinsfour Brewstsrites and Mitchell , making a total of fifteen ; and will aHy man ia Scotland tell me that th ? set represent 500 working men ! and yet jre had to contend against them . In consequence of M'DoualTs very excellent letter in la ? t week ' s Star , I shall be explicit . That letter vras written under a misapprehension . It was written ander the impression that the vote of the Synod , by wbicb . we were to nave bad two petitions remained undisturbed , while , thanks to Jjowery , for a very excellent amendment which rescinded the one of the Synod , we were spared the disgrace of a double petition .
I shall now lay before you all that happened of importance during Tuesday and Wednesday . Oa Tuesday Jack moved the rejection of the petition and the adoption of a new petition for Scotland . One of the saints , of course , seconded it , and that firm and n » ble fellow , John Wallace Jl'Crea , mored an amendment for the adoption of the petition as it stwxL To this Lowery moved another amendment , to the effcet that all places where the National Petition had been adopted ghonld go on procuring signatures ; and that in fntnrr , to prevent disunion , all extraneous matter
taonld be omitted from a National Petition . The rote -was first taken apon the amendments , when M'Crea ' s was carried by a large majority . M'Crea ' s amendment and Jack ' s resolution were then put ¦ when the numbers were equal , 27 and 27 ; the Chairman barag voted , and Rodger who was pledged by his constituents to support the Petition , having refuted to vote . In this dilemma the Chairman was called npon to give his casting vote . I with others protested against this , as he had voted before ; however , he requested five minutes reflection in the vestry room , and at the end of that period , be gave the casting Tcte against the National
Petition . Emboldened by their temporary triumph , Patteson , another of the Synod , moved a resolution , deprecating all interference with meetings which kad for their object the removal of what he termed '' infamous monopolies "—a most rascally resolution—one calculated to hand us over , bound neck and heels , to the League ; the Synod to a man , with Brewster and his tools and a few who were looking to thePresbytary for prefennent , voted for thiB ; but we carried aa amendment of Lowery's recommending the old course of explaining our principles and taking tie vote at all meetings , by a sweeping majority .
On Wednesday morning the committee brought in a new petition for Scotland , and Brewster , who objected to any details , even the mention of Repeal * Bd the Poor Law Amendment Act , opposed it , because there was no mention made of Paisley I Now , Scotchmen , what think yoa of that man ' s brain 1 Did 1 not always tell you that ke was u daft . - ~ However to thia petition there was some objection , bat , it was subsequently rescinded by Jjowaj ' s fbraar amendment , which was put as a substantive resolution , feeing ** arried by » sweeping majority , tb « manta protesting against the vote ; but webeattheiypocri ^ - Aye , tifj are hypocrites ^ » ad w « : 8 * T » d tin t KwaoKAi .

The only other business of importance was the dividing Scotland into six districts , thus clipping the wings of the rotten leaders of Glasgow . Upon this & splendid report was brought up by Lowery , Rankin , and A . Duncan ; and here , speaking of Rankin , it would appear from my nuddle-pated reporter , that Rankiii seconded the amendment of Pattison , whereas there was not s more efficient , consistent , able , or talented delegate in , the Convention than Rankin : he was , indeed , an ornament to " modern Athens . " Would to God all had been such !
There was £ 35 of a Victim Fund on hand . Ten pounds were voted to Mrs . Frost , £ 5 to Mrs . Jones , £ 10 to the families of the incarcerated victims , and £ 10 allowed to remain in the Treasurer ' s hasds , to discharge the expences of Mr . Ros 3 , who kindly accompanied young FroBt to his home when his physicians ordered him from Glasgow . Some other minor votes were come to , and at the close Mitchell proposed a vote of thanks to the middle classes for their co-operatioD . I moved , as an amendment , a vote cf thanks to the working classes who bad bravely withstood their oppressors , and only few delegates being present , both were carried .
On Wednesday evening , that incessant plague , Paddy Brewster , brought forward his humbug " under-no-circumstances" resolutions again , and made an attack upon me , when the audience hissed him and hooted him , and he left the Convention , deslaring that he would no longer co-operate with the Chartists . This was & point gained at all events . Now , Scotchmen , it is folly longer to disguise the fact from yon , who have shrewdly watched the progress of our glorious cause . Instead of pushing
onward , watching the fitting opportunity , and taking advantage of all favourable circumstances , and even of accidents , you have seen those / who were loudest in the outset , either become timid , as our power increased , or sell themselves , when they presumed that they had attached some value to their persons . Can you confide in any man , or set of men , who are ready to fall back a hair ' s breadth from the adopted national principle , and join anything short of that principle .
The time is now arrived whea every man must and shall speak out . I will no longer be the victim of private letter-writers , eaves droppers , cornerwhisperers , grumblers in committeess slabbers in the dark , and ail such . I know that I am hated by aH who wi :-h to make profit of agitation ; and I feel the power which silence would afford to the slanderer io fritter away my utility , vainly hoping to establish
f&me upon my ruin . 1 defy them one and all I only ask them to do as I have done , make principle their idol , and their guide ; give praise to whom praise is due , and withhold censure and slander ^ ere its promulgation tends but to weaken and disunite . Good Good , is not the field wide enough , amply wide enough for all , and must not those for whom alone I contend , recognise an enemy in every enemy , ' of mine !
Upon the eve of onr grand move every engine will be at work to frustrate onr efforts , and I hold the lukewarm equally respon&ible as the open foe . It was the fashion to stamp any suggestion of mine as an act of dictation ; but since the election of your Executive , with whose every act I most cordially agree , have I not as cheerfully followed on as I previously boldly led ] I have , to the utmost of my power , supported that body , and have rejoiced at finding all suggestions emanating from them , as your recognised leaders , generally approved by the oauntry ; but I tell you that discontent , egotism , weakness , vanity , and insolence , are pouring forth their arrows at them also , because they will not give way .
Of your synod of Glasgow , I tell you that they are ^ one and all , humbugs—rank , canting hypocrites , who would perpetuate grievances , in order that they m&y have ready access to your feelings . I don ' t meaa thoB © who go to worship ia Chartibt churches— no such thing . I like a cheap church ; but I mean those who complain of religious intolerance and commence th « ir own toleration by reproving one of their preachers for preaching in a short jacket , and who threaten to withhold all their immunities and privileges from Mr . Thompson , of
Greenoc > , if he would not comply wish their rules , canons , and regulations . Wtat stuff and humbug I and this to be the foundation of a Chartist Church and these preachers who complain of the Episcopal interference in the House of LordB , to constitute almost a majority of your Convention ! If you bled them all to death you would not sqseexe out one drop of democratic blood . Ever doubt the man who mixes up religion and politics , otherwise than to deduce from the scriptures , man's right to freedom , and the disgrace which slavery attaches to the willing slave , made after the image of his maker .
I mast now have a word with the brave men of the Vale of Leven . I tell them that if they were fairly represented in the Convention , then th « y are not th ^ same by day-light and torch-light , neither is their delegate . In no part of Scotland was greater enthusiasm evinced for Ireland and the National Petition than in the Vale of Leven . When going to Scotland , M'Donall said of all places go to
that Chartist paradise , the Vale of Leven . Now , I tell them that Thomases , their delegate , voted for every Whig motion brought forward by the Synod . Of course , I have a right to state facts , and to make my comments . If the men of the valley are satisfied , then no harm is done ; but Scotland should know whether or not the people of Leven were consenting parties to Jack ' s motion , and to Pitteson ' s motion for non-interference at Whig
meetings . I unhesitatingly declare that the cause of the working classes is dearer , far dearer , to n » e than life itself . I have suffered too much in loss of liberty , health , propeity , and . friends , to dread an encounter with all its foes or pretended frienda . I trust that the example set by Glasgow in the late Csnvention will serve as a warning to those districts called upon to send delegat 33 to the forthcoming National Convention . One good fellow can gain
time , if necessary , for full consideration . Every delegate should be Boleranly pledged to total abstinence , and to read over his correspondence with his constituents in Convention . I do not make the observation without a full knowledge of the utility of both . I am as sober a man as breathes , yet I pledge my honour n « t to drink anything stronger than water during the time of my delegation , and not to write a line to my constituents which shall not have been previously submitted to the whole body .
Scotchment perhaps you have never seriously thought of the enormous stake for which we are now playing . It is LIBERTY , LIBERTY ; civil and religious LIBERTY , brave Bons of Wallace , a thing worth living for , and worth dying for . For myself , I shall oaly say , that the sneerer , the tattler , the reviler , the good-natured critic , aad the open foe shall find me ever ready to take my part and do one man ' s work in its accomplishment .
Some men abuse both me and the Slar . Poor simpletons ! If I must speak out , when did human eye ever behold sscb an advocate of pure democracy When before have you had a journal of which for between four and five years it could be said , " Prove its deUt-fuencyi " It is also the fashion { o abuse the Editor most unlimitedly , and when he ventures a reply he ia censured . Again , I say * show me s man on earth who in the capacity of Editor of such a paper , has preserved so pure ' , so undeviating , so consistent , so polite , so gentlemanly , and bo useful a course . You were long looking for such an advocate ; but mayhap «« The beanfceous toy a « fondly sought , Baa lost its charm by being caught "
Scotchmen , Bhould disunion be sovn Moongst you , and should yon » quire my aid , Bend for " me , and you shall have % third visit this winter . Scotchmen , stand by your order !—remember the noble deeds of your forefathers and what they achieved ! and wkile you have yet the privilege of placing one . foot on the martyr ' s hallowed grave and the othtr npon the land of yenr birth ,
» Wh » v « uld fill a traitor ' * grave , Let him turn and tee . " - Scotchmen , sign the National Petition . Every man and woman sign it the more readily because the woes of Englishmen and Irishmen are Bet forth therein . H A house divided against itself cannot stand . " No two Petitions . Leave that to the total Repealers

TOUR OF MR . DAVIES IN . SCOTLAND . JOHNSHAVEN . —Wednesday , Jan . 5 th , Mr . Davies , returning from his tour of the North , arrived here again the previous evening . A public meeting of the inhabitants was convened by the voluntary and gratuitous service of a few members of an Arbroath band , attending an abstinence festival , in the open sir . The speaker gave an exposition of the nature , and urged the necessity , of the Chartist movement , introducing to notice the National Petition- Mr . A . Alexander , naving read at full length the document , moved its adoption , which being seconded by Mr . James Duncan , and the character and policy thereof supported and defended by Mr . Davies , it was passed nem con .
Moktrose . —Chartism , as a name here , is not yet qnite dead : awed by millocracy , hung about with a dead weight cf diffidence , and languishing in apathy , it still survives . On the 7 th inst . Mr . Davies gave a short address , at a social meeting , io favour of the principles , preached on the 8 th , and again on the 9 th urged another small assembly to animation , energy , unanimity , and perseverance . The Chartists of this place , if they would emulate their brethren ot the movement , must shake off supineness , and with a spirit becoming the patriotic struggle , shew themselves worthy the position of freemen : by united exertions determine to attain it , and difficulties vanish , success is sure .
Forfab , —On Saturday , the 15 'h , a social meeting was held here to entertain Mr . T . Davies , on his return from the far North , and to hear a lecture "On the philosophical character ol Chartism , its present position ^ and true course of policy . " Two local bands generonsly vied with each other in gratuitous service , parading the town , and gratifying a numerous audience by a variety of musical pieces , which , with recitations and division of the lecture into parts , afforded the highest gratification . Mr . Davies also preached on the Sunday , and gave such great satisfaction that the next morning a number of friends convened to consider , and make to him proposals for a permanent stay , which we have reason to hope will result in success .
Repeal tested at Forfar and foupd wanting . —On Monday evening , the 17 th , a public meeting t&ok place in the Secession Church , to hear a report of proceedings from Mr . J . Adam , delegate to Manchester . Provost Booth was requested , but declined to take the ch » ir , when his predecessor , John Lawson , Eaq , was unanimously elected . The Chairman , by a few temperate , well-timed remarks , introduced Mr . Adam , who would be prepared to answer any questions , and give explanations , either en the special business , or the observations made in his journey . The latter , with the greatest Bhow of candour and courtesy , repeated the statement , and proceeded to bis dt-Uil , in a calm , collected , and business-like manner : the report of the MmAtster Guardian supplying the material in part .
Mr . Adam , after fcaving eulogised Alderman Brooks , complimented Mr . Linney , a Chartist , for his strenuous efforts to repress the nproir of his tumultuous associates at a . public meeting , where the Alderman presided at Manchester , on New Year ' s Day , but reversed tht strain . to the credit of a stonemason , who , we were informed , making his way through the immense assembly , handed up a note to be read . Mr . A . ' s new friend , the Chairman , was represented by him as expressing extreme regret . If it should be imposed upon him , to place in competition two points , butb of whio * had bis hearty concurrence , and imploring that the amendment should be withdrawn in that form , aiad submitted as an after rt * olution , with the advantage of being entered upon our minutes , whether passed or not ,
but probably with Buccess . The pertinacity of the stonemason , however , much to the regrei of every rightminded Cbartibt , it was stated , persisted to a dividing of the house . I thought , gentlemen , this was simply taking & vote , u ' at home , but I assure you it is very different , a fearful thing , the minority must walk out The Aldeimsn , we are Void , extricated himself , by submitting whether the meetiDg would entertain the qHestion as an amendment , when , out of three thousand , about two hundred were left at one end , when a howl and nproar were immediately set up ; but they were compelled to walk out . Mr . Adam was introduced Into the Alderman's Mill Establishment by him , and favoured with every information he sought j for instance , flax dressing by machine , which with txtra waste , Ac . w » s
stated to cost two shillings and sixpence per hundred weight , and replied to as being threepence or sixpence higher per cwt . than by hand ; but the Alderman said , notwithstanding appearance , to abolish the machine would be a personal loss too consideMble for him to sustain ; from which it was asserted , that the greater cost of machine operations , at once showed they could not depress the price of heckling by hand . The above explanation was given in reply to a question , as to the effect of machinery upon manual labour . Several other queries were put . and responded to in a similar manner , bnt Mr . Adam being desired to state whether he represented himself at the conference as delegate from" the minority of a public meeting , or the inhabitants of Forfar J" retorted " Mr . Davies , being a stranger her * , I
do not consider myself accountable to him ! " A vote of approbation to the delegate , before the meeting , Mr . Davies requested to observe , possibly be had been longer in Forf » r than many were aware , and would probably remain longer than agreeable to Mr . Adam , notwithstanding whose description of th& conduct of Chartists , he hoped the permission to s % Ate , that here or elsewhttfe , in his experience they need only be treated as men , to rescue from them a nionly behaviour ; a fact he was happy to remark so well borne out by the present assembly , and which he assured them should meet no disparagement from him . Mr Adam was certainly at liberty to Teply as he pleased , but after the assurances given at the commencement of proceedings , it would scarcely be out of order to anticipates mors cordine and
satisfactory answer . But whatever position the delegate might assume at the conference , in Manchester , he could not but appear in the truo one at home . Had he convened an association , or reported to the minority who authorised his mission , an unwelcome interference had been properly avoided , but when public approbation of the proceeding of » party is sought , especially by a formal motion , surely it cannot be wrong to test the merits of the claim . I impeach not Mr . Adam , merely as a political partisan , but upon a dereliction of principle , not as a man , but a politician—a Chartist And , be it observed , in the gathering , portentous blackness , overspreading the horizon of trade and commerce , the question is important , momentous , to every individual ; in every station . The great political
movement requires to be simple in its nature , and effectual in its re- 'ulU The elevating , the dignified , the truly noble , moral , and virtuous character of real Chartism , need only be understood to be appreciated by evert manly bosom , as adequate to the case . We avail ourselves of the admissions cf the various Anti-Corn Law parties , which concede , more or less , the position we maintain . We perceive that a very minor struggle diverts from , and protracts the great end in view . We jealously watch-every substitution ) and with a conscious , manly , moral bearing , proclaim " The Charter , nothing less , and nothing else—wanting that" I honour " the stonemason , " whose manly stand , and unflinching perseverance , have been characterised as " pertinacity . " I revere the rectitude of principle which resisted tee
Alderman ' s « ednctive urbanity , and exposed the wily policy , inflicting injury by snecess . It succumbs the mBJjr to the minor ; nay , by supplanting , seeks , or at all events , promotes snbversien . True policy seeks the Charter as a means , and repeal as a consequence . The conduct of the stonemasons " was praiseworthy , it accorded with his adopted standard , * while that of Mr . Adam , instead ot commendation deserves to be reprehended , for it was desertion . His conduct repudiates the profession , and disqualifies him for deciding who is , or who is not , a " right-minded Chartist" The Anti-Corn Law movement is denounced by us , not in defence of the monopoly , but as the struggle of faction . Money-holders against land-holders . The one , it is true , have cut down tbe loat , and rai » ed up the price ,
but tbe other have equally pared down the wages , and taken away tbe work . While the abolition of small farms has reduced the holders , and impoverished tbe labourers of the soil ; the sympathy of factory lords has found an asylum , not by the employment of ablebodied labour , except in creeping , crawling , lickspittle sycophancy , and subservient tyranny , but by overtasking juvenile strength with protracted labours , and watting exertions , till distorted decrepitude cast them a burden offensive npon society , or premature exhaustion sink them to an untimely grave . Snch only , u the release generally , fr « m tbe relentless cruelty of tbe
horrible baetilea , set np and supported thai " capital may bear interest . " The selfish , grasping avarice of this clats of men is eloquently , and too truly describee by Burke— " their ledger is their Bible , the couiitfiighouse their temple ; their money their God . " Yea , and bowing at the shrine of Mammon , hecatombs of sacrifices are duty precsnted , in the poverty , distress , misery , and starvation of the sons and daughters of toiling indurtry . The chairman apologized for interroptloB , — found tke meetlag not with bis , when resenting " declamation "—and requested the speaker to be as short M he could . He ( tie speaker ) complimented in return and took occasion to remark , that h « aad bis friends had

heard Mr . Adam , with tn © most exemplary attention to hi « amenj and trusted to meet with a like return ; but he ahould be brief . Taking a review of the long operation of the Corn LawB , previous to the interference of the " Laague , " he would [ press upon the meeting the fact , that only ¦ when they felt the pinch on their " kin toea , " they cried out "Oh these wicked Corn Laws ! Down with toe Cora IstoJ" Be garea npld glance » t the wsnlt of repeal , as a solitary measure , being profit to tbe capitalist—disappointment to all else ; an * after tain / to " the occupiers ; destruction of the holders ; and transference of the land to devouring money lords ; and despotism , the most deplorable , as a reward of confiding folly . He would just advert to the
Alderman ' s machinery illustration . Mr . Adam states , that because the actual coBt of machine operation , ia greater than by manual labour , therefore Ifce reduetieh of theheckleri wnges ia not produced by the former ; but did he not tell us the machine was adopted , in this very instance , because the men were standing out at a price ef three shillings , upwards , of conrse from attempted redncMon or insufficient remuneration : that the Alderman ventured a large outlay of capital rather than yield j tb » at taking his own statement , that Iron or steel would work for less' than flesh and blood , bone
and sinew ? Then the competition continues , till , to find employment at alt > they must underwork the reduced price by some three or Bix per cent And the Alderman , reminded of this , does he abolish the machine in sympathy ? Oh no ! it would yet subject him to lost of principal , so body and soul may complete the wreck of humanity ! And this is the man whose compeers you are wished to approve as your friends ! You are called npon to thank a townsman , who has deserted and thus seeks to betray you ! Do as you please . The motion was withdrawn at Mr . Davis "s recdrnmendation , and with him the mass of the audience then withdrew .

riNSBUEiY . —Rejection op Natiokal Petition by the Scottish Delegates . —At thelweekly meeting of the Fiiisbury Chartists , on Monday in last week , Mr . Watts brought forward the following resolution , which was , after some debats on the objections to the National Petition , carriedj and ordered to be sent to the Star for insertion : — " That if ia the opinion of this meeting that the insertion in tke National Petition of the people of the United Kingdom , of a comr plaint of the wrongs and injuries of every portion thereof was not only politic but expressive of a wise and just sympathy for their fellow men , and further
that the people of every poitiou thereof are the best capable of judging as to whut is to them a source of evil or of good . That the partial rejection of that petition by our brethren the Scottish Delegates , is to be attributed rather to a wish to lessen tbe popular influence of English leaders , and a mistaken , though perhaps sincere , desire to avoid the evil of placing too much power in the hands of one man , tbun to any well grounded objection to tbe well known grievances of the people of Ireland being mentioned therein ; and this meeting further opines that many well-meaning men have been on this occasion made the dupes of men whose ostensible motive was not the real one . "
Martlebone—The members of this locality met at their Hall , 5 . Circus-street , New-road , on Sunday last , when Mr .

Knott , cooper , rose to moTe * n addition , who , after making a few remarks , « ho « ring the right of the people to address her Majesty , moved the following address , ' * That we , at the » me time , most respectfully acquaint your MajeBty that thete are thousands of virtuous women , your Majesty's subjects , enduring the same natural extremity upon beds of straw , without even a pillow whereon to toy their beads , or sustenance to Buppoit them ; that we attribute that state of things to class legislation , from which have sprung' the
abominable Corn Law monopoly , the iniquitous Poor Law , all other bad laws : and we , therefore , pray your Majesty to advise yoar Ministers to pass a law for the total repeal of all laws that that have a tendency to rob the iBilli « n 8 for the benefit of a few ; and that they will likewise pass into a law 'thai every man twentyone years of age , of sane mind , and unconvicted of crime , be entitled to a vote for members of Parliament , and that all votes be given by ballot ; " which was seconded by Mr .

as Chairman , which was seconded by Mr . " John Moss , a'ld carried . Mr . Henry ' Knott , on taking the chair , observed , that it was rather an unusual thing to see a man in a fustian jacket filling the place so lately occupied by the Sheriff of so Urge a county ; but if they had to procure their clothes by the sane , means as be had , he was afraid they would be . clad inwon-grey and not in good fustian ; bat as they had chosen him to fulfil the post of chairman to bo large a meeting , he would do his duty independently and impartially , and give fair play to every speaker , let him be who or what ; he . would .

" Chsnhing ' i SelfcC « ltur « , and the New Testament . being onr class books .

The O'Connor Demonstration . -- Monday was tb » most glorious day for Chartism ever experienced in Leicester . We formed our ' procession in the Market Place at one o'clock , end with two marshals on horseback at our head , followed by the Mount Spirrel band , our train composed of thousands of working men and women , with a score flags and streamers , followed by the Leicester Independent Band in uniform , and a carriage and four for O'Connor , with » , carriage of Chartist women , each surrounded by Council-men and leaders bearing white wands , marched to the Rail way Station , where we received the great chief of Chartism punctually at two . The sun shone gloriously , and eur
gallant ; show , during one hour and a hah ! , passed through the most populous streets of the town . Cooptj ^ BairstoWj and Skevington , of Loaghborough , were honoured with s , place in O'Connor ' s carriace , and each seyerally addressed the immense concourse , ; followed by Mr . O'Connor , for a few minutes , from the balcony of the George Inn , at tho termination of the display . O'Connor ' s reception by the throngipg tbonsanda was truly hearty and enthusiastic , and the whole affair was such a one , as he himself confessed , he had never expected to witness in the Midlands . A tea meeting took place at the Shaksperean Roonur , at four ; and our greatest regret concerningit is , that , from the immense numbers
who strove to get accommodated , so great confusion arose as to render it impossible for us to arrange every thing as we could wish . The spacious Amphitheatre , ( perhaps the largest building ot the kind in England * except the Opoia House , in the Metropolis , } was thronged long before eight o ' clock , and when OCon-BOf appeared on the stage ithe plaudits were deafening , and were again and again reaewed . When a verse of the Leicester Chartist Anthem had been sung , Mr ) Cooper was appointed to the chair , and very briefly , but pointedly , introduced the business of the night Mr . Skevington and Mr . Harrison , of CaWerton , ( each in a brief but pointed manner ) , proposed and seconded the following resolution : — " That this meeting pledges itself to stand by the People ' s Charter , and never to
give up their demand for the whole of its principles , nor to agitate for any measure of Reform that falls short of the whole Charter . " This resolution was passed amidst reverberating acclamations . Mr . Bairst » w then proposed ( in a speech of his usual eloquence ) and Mr . Beedham ( oar treasurer . iseconded , " That this meeting further pledges itself to support theiBcorruptibla patriot Feargtts O'Connor , aniwervingly convinced , from » review of his whole political life , that he will never desert the principles of Uie People ' s Charter , but contend for them to the death . " The load and prolonged cheering by which this resolution was reoeived , whes put by the Chairman , was an janeqaiTooal evidence of this trath that O'Connor and Chartom are oonjoteed ia the deepest affections of working men and WomeB .
O'Connor , at length , rose , and foar an hoar and a haif ^ roused and delighted the heart * of the immense audience , . displaying the stratagema of false reformers , the cupidity of manufacturing philanthropists , the eel fish spirit of aristocracy , the grasping practices of the priesthood , . and then the broad and indefeasible character of the ngh ^ of working men ; again and again , inter-32 ? % f bUrat 8 pf iBI »*« rfa « n "id shoots of approvaL The _ Chairman then gaTO out . three more verses of the anthem , and after three times three had been givea fo * the P eo ple ' s Charter , aad tha same number of cheers for OConnor . the brave patriot ga * stheRudience .- ¦ bnef admonitory addresa by way of farewell , and took lOr ™^ f tbe People amidst renewed icclamations .
