      Mr FfiiEms , —I hare hot time to ' say much this week , further than to thank the good men of South Staffordshire from my soul for the braTc aauBter ni&de by them on Monday at Birmingham \ and to b » j that your delegates met in Convention appear to be duly impressed with the great and important duties imposed npon them . Yon will see the detailed report of oar proceedings in this week ' s Star ; « nd , as far as we have gone , I make no doubt that

      they , as well as the unanimity with which they were carried forward , willgiTe you pleasure . Let me implore and beseech of all to stifle every attempt at bick « ring or disunion , which alone can injure our common cause . For myself I shall only say to Slander— "Fire away till the Convention shall have terminated its labours ; till then I shall be satisfied tobss target for hatred and envy to fire si , i shall take no notice of anything but the proceedings brought before the people ' s delegates . "

      A bove all thingSj my beloTed friends , Sign ! Sign !! Si ^ n away !!! every man of you , and every woman . You will receive directions from your friends , through their address , which you will do well to ob ^ -Tve . I must beg an ^ re < jaes ; of the hundreds of CO ) respond tnts who honour me by writing to me , to accept my apology for not replying to all . la fact , it would be impossible . I have now over fifty letters npon legal questions , involving a large amount of property , the writers all requesting answers , which I have not time to answer .

      I now beg to announce to the people that it is in eoattmplation to hold a National Confsrence at Birmingham , for the purpose of carrying out what is called Complete Suffrage ; and , being resolved that the whole people shall be represented in that Conference , and being more than once or ten times paraitzed for want of pecuniary means to back and carry out our principles , and having paid for that purpose out of my own pocket a large sum of money , I have resolved upon devoting my time and energy to ihe levying of an Emergency Fund , to be applied to such purposes as procuring delegates from places too poor to contribute to any Conference

      which may be called to discuss our principles . I am ready daring the sitting of the Convention , to attend meetings within one hundred miles of London , on routes where railways have been established . These meetings must not bg called for earlier than eit ; ht o'clock in the evening ; and the Committees of the several places where I attend must make arrangements for charging wha - to them shall seem fit for admission ; the proceeds to go to the fund to be applied as I have stated . I will not lose a moment of mj time -which should be deToted to the Convention , as I can start at two o ' clock when the Convention adjourns , and can return at night after my lecture , and be ready for morning at nine . I shall be at Cheltenham on Monday next , the 18 th inssant , and at Southampton on Tuesday , the 19 th ; and -whatever places within one hundred miles reauire my services for the above purpose will please address me , directed care of Mr . John Cle&ve ,-1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet-street , and then I shall appoint a day by return of post . 2 fow to work , brave Chartists . ' Onward , and we congner ; backward , and we fall .

The election fell upon Metsr » . Beesly , Leach , Philp , M'Phereon , Morgan Williams , M'Donall , and Roberts .

Credentials -were received from Mr- G . Halson for Nottinghamshire , Mr . lowrie for Edinburgh , Mr . Mason for Warwickshire , and Mr . Thomason for the Dumbartonshire Burghs . - The Secretary then read the minutes and they having been confirmed , Sir . Doyle moved , that a permanent chairman and vice chairman be appointed .

      Mr . O'Connor seconded the motion . They had experienced the evils of a contrary system . If they elected a permanent chairman , he would be able to devote the whole of his attention to the office , and would be perfectly acquainted with their rules and

      Untitled Article

      regulations , and they would still retain the inherent ri ^ ht of removing him at pleasure . Considerable discussion took place regarding the point of law , which Mr . O'Connor explained . Mr . Stallwood moved , and Mr . Ridley seconded , an amendment , that the Chairman be elected daily , but the members having expressed their opinions that this would be practically carried into effeot , The amendment was withdrawn .

Pirie be appeinted . After some conversation respecting the merits of the ^ candidates , Mr . Linney was withdrawn , and Mr . Ford was unanimously elected ; the salary "was fixed at 303 per week . '

      Mr . Beealy moved , That a deputation from the body wait on Mr . Duucombe , to request him to bring forward a motion in the House of Commons , appointing a deputation from the working classes shall be heard at . the bar of the House of Commons , to plead in favour of the People ' B Charter . If it made no impression upon that house , it would make a great impression upon the country , and would raise up such an agitation and create such an amount of publie opinion in their favour as would greatly assist in the obtainment of the Charter .

      Mr . O'Connor seeonded the motion . He considered it the most practical step the Convention had yet taken . This wa 3 a legitimate course for them to pursue , and they would thereby make the House at Commons , and through that the press , an organ to convey their opinious to the country . The press now neglected them—they had a Couvention oi twenty-eight delegates elected from all parts of the country ; they would have a petition signed by four millions of people , and yet not a reporter from either a Whig or Tory paper was present . Mr . Si all wood supported the motion . Mr . Robeits threw out a suggestion that other members should also be requested to support it . It would test those who were lukewarm , and they would shrink from opposing it . If this were not done miny liberal member ^ would feel it their duty to be present .

      Dr . M'Douall stated that deputations could afterwards be appointed to wait on those Members of Parliament . Air . M'Pherson supported the motion , which was carried unanimously . Air . White , having been instructed by his constituents of Bromsfcjrove , moved that the word " OOnsisUney" in the National Petition be considered . Mr , O'Connor explained , that if any word in the petition was now altered , all the signatures received wonid fall to the ground ; after some other remarks , the motion was withdrawn . * Mr . 0 Connor moved that a committee of five be appointed to receive all petitions sent to Mr . Duncombe and others ; and that they procure machinery for the purpose of conveying the National Petition to the House of Commons .

      Mr . M'Phtrson secouded the motion , which was unanimously carried ; and Messrs . Beesly , M'Pherson , M'Douall . Ridley , and Mason appointed . Dr . M'Douall moved that a committee be appointed , to consider tha propriety of engaging a theatre for the purpose oF aiding the funds necessary to carry oat lie ensuing demonstration . The members were well aware that funds would be required for that object , and the Convention funds were not available . Mr . Ridley seconded tne motion ; the question was then on a motion of Mr . O'Connor , seconcsed by Mr . Woodward , referred to the Finance Committee .

      Several notices of motion were then given -in , the Secretary called over the names oi the members , and the Convention adjourned .

      consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament , and memorialising the Queen in favour of a full and free representation of the people in the House of Commons ; ,: hia Worship acceded and called the meeting for last Thursday evening , at seven o ' clock . As soon as the doors were opened , the place bflcame crowded to suffocation . George Sowerby , Esq ., the Mayor , was called to prnside . He opened the proceedings by requesting the Town Clerk to read the requisition , and requesting that all persons who might have any remarks to make for or against the subject of the requisition , might get a fair hearing . He then called on Mr . Alderman Brockets , who , in a very energetic speech , in which he expressed it as his opinion that the time was at hand when the people would unanimously and

      irresistibly demand political enfrahchistmeiit , moved the first resolution , which was britfly seconded by Mr . Clephan , and carried unanimously , namely , "That by the constitution of this country , the House of Commons should be representatives of th © great body of the people , but , that in practice , it . is the creature of a class , the majority of its members being elected by the aristocratic interest , already more than amply represented in the House of Lords .

      the followers of Mr . Sturge to procure political freedom , and yet this same Mr . W . would not sign the National Petition when solicited to do so about three months ago ; he was hissed throughout , having the imprudence of occupying the time of the meeting -wiihont having any information to give them . Tho resolution was as follows : — That class legislation has inflicted great and perilous evils on the British empire , squandering its resources , creating selfish and burdensome monopolies , and reducing a patient and industrious people to the ¦ verge of national bankruptcy ; and now , when the public revenue , notwithstanding its ; shameful amount , wrung from the industry of a starving people , falls short of the enormous expenditure of pur profligate

      Government , such class legislation has prevented the people from sending even one man to Parliament bold enough to tell both factions that the national expenditure ought at ; least to be reduced to meet the national 'income . " Mr . Pratt moved the third resolution , expreHsingahopethat reformers of ali glares would soon be united , and thereby be * come invincible as in 1832 . Mr . Craggs said , tho rcsolution before the meeting was one in which he cordially concurred , and trusted one day to meet with his fellow-townsmen in congratulation ^ that the great principle which it laid down was legally recognised , and sat down by seconding the resolution amidst gri at applause . " Thatthe only effectual remedy for the grievance * of the nation is to be

      found in the abolition of that fruitful source of all other monopolies , the monopoly of legislation ; and therefore the representation of the people should be amended by the extension of the elective friinchise to the adult malf ? population of the United Kingdom . " Mr . Sinclair said he felt great pieasuro at the change which appeared to have taken placo in the actions of the ^ hopocracy of Gateshead . He saw jrentlemen in tho room now avowedly advocating Universal Suffrage , who a few months since occupied a great deal of their ; precious time in practising the most effectual mode of cutting off the hfad * of the Chartists if they even mentioned Universal Suffrajjo in public ; but he honed the middle classes were becoming

      wiser . Geaclemen might laugh , but had he not k'reat reason to thank Him who can change hearts of stone , that a gentleman , who was now standittt ; on his ( Mr . s . ' s ) rig ' nt , evidently > o advocate Complo-te Suffrage , should have no hesitation in May , 1839 , to perjure himself in making a charge against him ( Mr . S . ) before a Bench of Magistrates , and the only reason he couJd assign wav .. that ' . he was ad-d Chartist . H . e ( Mr . S . ) saw that their new cloaks suited them badly ; and , as they were not euffi ; ie » tly acquainted with the principle ? , he would move an addendum ' to th * resolution before the meeting , viz . the five remaining points of the People ' s Charter—rAnnual Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , No Property Qualification , Payment of Members of

      Parliament , and the division of the country into Equal Electoral Districts . Mr . John Murray seconded the a-dciendum , and the resolution was carried with * Mr . S . ' s addendum . Mr . Murray then said a resolution had been put into his hinds , to propot-o which he was porry had not fallen into other hands . He would just read the resolution , and propose its adoption , viz . " That a petition founded on the foregoing resolutions , be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting , and iliac his Worship be requested to transmit ; it to Wm . Hurt , Esq .,. M . P ., for presentation to the . House of Commons ; and that the following national memorial tj the Queen be adopted and Bubuuitedtotheinhiibitants of the Borough for signature . ( HerefollowsStur ^ e ' s

      memorial . )—Mr . Alderman Brockctt seconded the resolution . —Mr . Charles Crosa ^ ia a very pithy address moved , as an amendment , that the fourth resolution should terininate with the word * Commons , " and that Mr . Sturge ' s memorial form no part of that resolution . Mr . C . said , why adopt Mr . S . ' a memorial ? The Sturge movement had a tendency to weaken and divide the a « itatioa of die people , who were too poor to have ability to support two agitations . The Conference at Birmingham was eomposedjOf persons who were , little known to their fellow couHtrymen , exoept as their oppressors .

      No doubt there were some honest men in the Conference , but the object of the movement was to create division—to sow division in the rankj of the people . The Sturge memorial was a phatitom , an indefinite though /' . plausible .- document , that might mean any thing or nothing . Tne , printed instructions to convasser 3 for signatures made several exceptipne . While they professed to recogiiiZd Univorsal Suffrage , persons who were a burden to the State were to have no vote .: Did Mr . Sturge mean by that to exolude such men as Prince Albert , the Duke of Wellington , &o . ( who were- realty burdensome to the state ) from the franchise ! Ah , no ! it was only

      the honest , industrious man who taight be necessitated / to receive parochial relief , and by such exceptiona Mr . Sturge ' s Universal Suffrage mighr become a mere mockery . Tho people wanted ., no Mich jpretended friendship ; they knew their own work aud were able to accompliah it . Let Mr . Sturge and his followerB join the associations of the people and combine with O'Connor , O'Brien , and : other true friends to the popular . cause . The working classes rejected the alliance of men who would merely use them for selfish purposes . Mr : Sinclair sajd he wohW second the amendment on two conditions—firstj that the name of William Sharman Crawford , Esq ., M . P . be Bubstituted for that of Mr . Hutt ; for Mr . Hutt declared publicly on the hustings , at the election here , that his decided

      opinion was , that no man paying less than £ 7 10 s . renthad a sufficiency of sense to exercise the elective franchise ; ho declared he would not support a further extension on that account , consequeritiy it way no use sending the petition to him ^ as he could not support the prayer thereof : secondly , that the petition be submirted to a deputation from the National Cbarter Assooiation prior to its transmission to Mr . Sharman Crawford . But as Mr . Cross would not accede to these conditions , Mr . Sinclair withdrew hissupport , and Mr . John Walker sedonded Mr . Cross ' s amendment . Mr . Sinclair then movedy as an araendmeutj " That the petition be 'entrusted to Mr . Sharman Crawford for : presentation ^ aud that a deputation from the National

      Charter Association inspect it after it is prepared , and see it signed by hia ; Worship , and posted . '' Mr . William Oliver seconded Mr . Sinclair ' B amendment . Mr . Alderman Brackett naid he wished to say one word before the meeting divided . Although h © did not go the full length of the third resolution , as amended by the meeting , he had seconded Mr . Murray ' s proposal of foundihg a petition on the three resolutions , because he was anxious that the House of Commons should hear tji £ ' voice of the inhabitants of Gateahead constitutionally expressed through a public meeting , duly convened by their chief magistrate . He therefore hoped that noobnditions would be imposed on the Mayor with which he could not honourably comply , and said something about

      soon « r allowing hia right hand to be cut off rather than accede to the terms imp-wed by Mr . Sinclair , for to suspect the Mayor was unjust .. The Mayor understood that Mi \ Sinclair meant that they merely wanted to see that the petition was properly worded . Mr . S . answered in the 1 affirmative . If precaution was not observed j they might substitute another petition instead of the one now adopted . Sinclair was a Scotchman , and their maxim was , never to be twice cheated by the same party ; and he was cheated out of the result of the show of hands taken at the last public meeting in Gateshead . Those gentlemen who profess such honour and honesty to-night , smuggled the anti-Corn Law petitions contrary to the decision of the meeting .

      Mr . a . hoped the working men then present , would tru-t no man above his own sphere in life , without testing him Well first . We know them only aa enemies . Let us have a good proof of their real fricridship before we put any reliance in them . If they , the middle classes , are actuated by honest motives , let them join the National Charter AssociatioH . I , as sub-yeoretary , have brought the book here for that purpose . Several of the industrious classes here joined , but none of the drones ; they were not prepared to go that length , although we promised them the right-hand of fellowship if they would . Mr . S . 's amendment was carried . The Mayor having then dissolved the meeting , Mr . Woodward moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his conduct iu the chair . Mr . Sinclair said that at thoiast

      meeting he had moved as an amendment , that the vote of thanks be held in abeyance until his Worship had learned to do justice to the working olasses ; and was happy to eay that the conduct of his Worship this evening , was highly creditable to him , and Mr . S . would therefore inost CordiaJly second the proposition . It was carried with three cheers . Mr . Williams , of Sunderland , was then called upon to address the meeting , and he made a very good conciliatory apeech , and was well received , although some showed some slight marks of disapprobation ; after which , Mr . Sinclair moved a vote of thanks to the Town Clerk for hie conduct that evening , which was Sf-conded and carried with three cheers . Three tremendous cheers were then given for the Charter , three for Mr . O'Connor , and three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the meeting separated .

      The Council met this evening as usual , Mr . Smith in thechajr , when Mr . Cross moved and Mr . Watson secoiidod , "That an Election Committee beimmodiately formed in connexion with this Association , and that Messrs .

      : We are as nothing when deprived of your sanction : and suffrage , but when we are armed with the voluntary approval of millions we then possess an importance which no force can subdue , and derive power from a source of which Government cannot rob us . ¦ .

      This important movement will call forth the energies of the Convention , for the purpose of securing tho sanction and support of the intelligent , organised , and powei > ful trades of the metropolis . The 8 UCCSSS of our meeting dspends mainly on the moral effect we shall be able to produce upon the Government , and tho public opinion we can excite in London ; therefore , every man is interested in the prooession of the 2 nd of May , who advocates our principles .
