or ^ ect ! How ; bis defe&i is to happen the Xonxonf-rmist does not cond-rscend to enlighten as . The absence of such explanation , however , forces npon us Certain conjectures and znpyoslricns , to accpuniTor the snridpaied defeat . We cannot , for the life of us , discover hov " the z&u 1 object" of the Goxfek-5 . VCE can be defeated , by the return of well-known and severely-tried I' simsii Sctpkace advocates , IF that " main o ' rject" be the advancement » T the principle cf UsivsBSAi Sxitzsge . If , however , the " msin object" of the promoters of that Cos-PEHE 5 CE be not t ^ eir avowed one ; if ihey hare , o = ten-: V . j , pet Vxttexsjo .

We cas imagine such a de eat , and fuch a ' calamity , " as the Nonconformist calls it , as this : bat we cannot possibly imagine hove the Sn-TBiSE " main object ' is to be defeated by such means . Th- anticipation of cUfeal , therefore , by the XoncDiiJi'Siist , under these circumstances , raises » suspicion , to give it the mHdest term , ths : the * main object" of the Co . Y 7 Efi £ > -fE-caHers is cot the {^ enable one 1
The Xoneonformisi next discusses the possible recalls to the uneducated masses of this anticipated defeat , and then falls foul of Mr . O'Co . vnob in a Kyle and manner that bnt too plainly show that Jtis object and the object of his emp'overs , is to : ' ge : ria of Feahgus . " We will have his own words , however , and comment on tbem afterward ; , Ad » dressing himself to the working classes , he says : — " The time is fnTly come for holding up their idol to the steady view cf their o * rn plain acd stroD ? common
sense—for dragging him forth from the dim light of tis own oira ssnernary , from mi&Bt his own professions sikd self-laudations , and erMbiting tha man in his oth colonrs and dress .

con-J . U 5 A 0 HE . " It can hardly ba forgotten by the - labnonng cb . , ttat the principles embodied in the People ' s Chaiter , were enonncrd long sines , by midsl ; clais patriots ; and that , actuated by -whatever motive , several Isadiiig men , now filming in public life , arsis' d in the prodnction of tbit r . lebratsd decnmen Jfoisel = s = 3 y , but not nnsnecsEsfiilly , these principles were nisiing their appeal to the jn ^ jment of Lodety , ween J ! r . FesrgTii O'Connor appeared irpon tha Stale . Let ia do nii jnttics . He bronsnt to the rtnrs indonri-Kble energy , considerable Ekiil , nnwr-vried activityami , in an ill-fated day , the doctrine of physic ?!
force . He or « iiiKd whit he found nnshapsn and . ' ^ coherent— he created a machinery which was powerful both for good and evil—and he employed it for the latter . By bitier denunciations , by fomenrr- * the worst passions of hnman nature , by dogmatism the most into'euble , asd insolence widen no spirit having a spark of manhood could brosk , he drove from tbe people ' s ranks every middle-cLiss leader , seemingly unable to ,-rest until the stajje wsj ltft clear for himsfcif alone . The ficits of his Tiolenri speedily ripened—myriads of ¦ s rori : nc men were goaded into open conftict -with , the government—and \ he man . irho hadilaid ths train , and kindled tae matdi , slant &way to Ireland tryond reach of danger . Thoroughly defeated" in
ibis his own cchtme of policy , he returned to 1 : gin anew his pernicious course . Aa tkongh secret conspiracy , incendiarism , and bloodshed , were not esongh to destroy any yestiges of sympathy which fue middle c > ises might frel for the working men , he c-.. im £ eileu annoyance in a scarcely less cifsnsive shape , iTid harked on his followers to a disturbanrT of every public meeting , and denouncDd as " humbug' * every _ tJbrt for administrative reform . He succeeded bn : too well in griining the only end which will fairly sccoant for his proceedings . He rendered the breach t :-tTreen the two classrs all but irreparable . By s *
Ecdating with tha principles of the Charter his own ferocity , he made them stink in the ntsTiis of respectable Esn . and then availing himcelf of the disgust his own v-: rk had excited , he turned to the labouring data : t , End stixmlated , by proaucing bsforc them the evi je :: c ? s of this disgust , iheir aireaoy hot r ^ Eeiitmeat against sli above them . He was now without a rival in ths leadership of tb . e masses '; and a 3 , one by onej men Cf cooler beads , of sterner integrity , of more disrnisresteu ttart ? , rose into estimation with tbe nnenlrancuiaed , he denounced them with virulence tbe most incessant ^ r-id nff-Tfrt to them the badge of infamy . "
Xnw , Isicnrjng peoole , you hiLve had Mr . O'Cossos amongst you , associating and working amongst you , for now eight years . That intercourse has given you opporiniiiues of jadgisg of his real character and worth . Your " own plain and strong common sense " would enable yon to make observations , and correct ones too , respecting any man who mixed among you as Mr . O'C * t > 'o : r has done , in a ranch less time than eisln years . The Nonconformist says that las above picture *¦ exhibits the man in his own colonrs and cress . " What say youi Bemember , that it 5 s painted by a man who knows nothing of Mr OTos ^ oh but what he has learned from his class
associations . He never trorked with Mr . O'Connob , as yon have done . He never mixed with him , either in pnblic or private ; and yon have done both . We question whether ever he was in the same room with Mr . 0 'Co » ob , or would even be able to point him out personally , if he was To- - caired to do so : and yet this man , with this degree of knowledge , presumes to paint , FOR YOU , a portrait of a " man in his own colours and dres « " whom yon have knotra so well and so iOEg ;! There sever was a more glaring inriance of class ignorance sad piejadics than this same " portrait'' by the Nonconformist . '
We shall pass over the garnish with which the nvDBry mess 13 serred np , and come at once to tie " few facts , calmly stated . '' li It can hardly be forgotten , bj the' labonriDg clssses , " says the Nonconformist , " that-tae principles of the People ' s Charter were enounced long since by midoie-ciass patriots . "' Ths * working people certainly have not forgotten that it is ' . ong r ' nee they £ rs : enounced tb * principles contained in the People ' s Caar ^ r ; nor have they forgotten tie persecution and sriFerisg that have accrued 10 them for such enunciation' As for the middleels ; = patriots of " long F'ncc , " the less that is said on that head the better for the Nmiconfvmlst and his middle-class friends . The greatest enemies that the working people , the

It Us tree that Hr . vr , and Cobbett , and Cjrt- ; "iTfiiGHT belonged to the middle classes at the time ' they laboured with , and for , the people ; and it is , equally true , that for bo labouring ; for identifying ' themselves with the people ; for " enouncing the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter , " they were persecuted beyond measure by their own order ! They were represented in exactly tho same \ light as the Nonconformist , the organ of the middle j ¦ classes of our day , represents Mr . O'Connor !! They were denounced on every hand . Consult the ! renal prints of the day ; a : id you will find exactly ! parallel " portraits'' to the one we have jost given , '
i prwessiEg to " exhibit the men in their own colours ' j and dress . " It . i ? a very old middle class game that t ¦ the Nonconformist is now playing ! j ; " Noiselessly , but not unsuccessfully , these princi- j pies were making their appeal to the judgement of ! i society , when Mr . O'Co . xnok appeared upon the j I stage . " This sentence exhibits the writer ' s total ; ¦ ignorance of what he pretends to write about . It j ; is untrue , in whatever sense it is taken . If it Ls \ \ made to refer to tbe" long since" the writtr had jus * spoken of , the facts we have narrated respecting the j ¦ persecution of the enonncers" of " these prin- : ; cities" show that the " appeal" was any thing but ! -a " noiseless" one I If it is made to refer w the
ejaet time of air . O'Connor's appeaj-ance on the politieal ? tage in England , it is eqnaliy nntrue : for ' " these principles " were then certainly not " successfully " making their appeal to the judgment of society . " At the period of Mr . O'Connor's entree 1 upon political life amongst us , society was d-unk , and unable to exercise any judgment at all ! It was when we had obtained the Bill , the whole bill , and : nothin « butthe Bill ' . Itwaswhen the working people ; had been cajoled and betrayed by ths middle classes into the denunciation of those very principles which this writer tells us were " noiselessly , bnt not ]
unsuccessfuLy making their appeal to the judgment ; of society 2 " It was when the middle-classes had I succeeded in the procurement of the denunciation of j the patriot Hewx by sections of the working people , for his firm " enunciation "' of " those principles , " and his exposure of the Reform Bill fraud ! It was at ; this period that Mr . O * Conn « b came amongst us ; i and it was his " { enunciation" of " those principles , " i when the nation had got a little sobered , that ' caused their " appeal to the judgment of society " to be listened to ; and has eventually caused the j parrons of the Nonconformist to ostensibly espouse 1 them 5
Good God ! Look at the position of ths Movement at the period of Mr . O'Connor ' s coming amongst us , and then compare it with our position 7 Jt : r / The agitation for the principle of Unitersax Suffrage all but dead . The people split up into little sections , under sectional leaders , venting forth their grievances in a discordant and nisconaected manner . Iso concert ; no oneness of purpose ; no organization ; no knowledge even of each other ' s doings ! Hunt dead ! Cojiltt , soon after , also removed from the stage of the living . No leader ; no rallying point ; no a ^ itnioa I The people a prey to contending factions ; ready to give th : ir " sweet voices" almost to every humbag who ask ' -d for them :
and afraid to offend their leaders amongst t&e middle classes , by asking for the full measure of justice . It was when the Movement was in this sorry condition , that Mr . O'Connor was made a present { of to the English Radicals . They accepted him ! He came amongst them . He , at first , inscribed upon his banners , " Uniteesax Suj-TRAtz and No Surrender ; " and from that day to this has gone on from conquering to conquer on behalf of that principle , until he has made the party who espouse it tha only powerful party , as far as public opinion is concerned , in the state ! Right well do we know the opening of his mission ia Leeds to re-nlant the banner of Universal Sufiragk
amongst us , and establish the Radical Association . The invitation to him , on ( hat occasion , was given by t \ ro working men He attended to their call . At that period the Leeds Times had passed into the hands of a new conductor . Befiretime it had not ranged itself under any banner , bnt had professed to be a no-party advocate ; -raking care always , however , to advocate the return of Whigs , when an election was at hand . It was judged prudent . on the pari of the new Editor to make it more decided ia its tone . He proposed to join in the project of bringing O'Co ^ nob to Leeds ; and his offer of help was accepted . Se veral meetings
of the Committee were held in : he Editor ' s room ; and the large meeting place in ths Com mercial Euiidings was engaged partly a ; the risk of the pablisher of the Times and partly at the risk of the friends who had first invited Mr . O'Connor . It was soon found , however , by these working men , that , with their new allies , Unitebsal Suffrage was a great lugbear . " Could not Mr . O'Connor be induced to substitute Household for Universal . " " Ho will drive all respectable people away . " ' * ' Hvischeld Suffrage is as mnca as can be rea-50 aabiy agitaied for , v ? hh any cLance of public support cr success . " The answers were , by the working men ,
thatthey could listen to no compromise . If the re ? pectable prople were scared away by the bugbear of Uxitersal Suifrage , they must be used to it , and then perhaps they would not deem it so very frightful . " On the day of the pnblic meeting , Zilr . O'Cok-NOit met the Committee in the Editor ' s Rooai . There he was set upon , and imr-lowd to abandon UMVi . R = AL Sctfrage . Counsellor Wales , then accounted a Radical , was present , and pk-aded , as if for life , that Mr . O'Connor would give way , and consent to advocate Mousehofd , instead of Universal . The answer was
, dignified , decisive , and piam : — "I come here on a I mission . I an ? sent by ihe working men of Lon-: ^ on 10 plant the standard of Unitebbal Suf-¦ rs . ies amougst the working people of Leeds . If there are but tar . e in Leeds wno will join wlrh me , we will j : in : but to no compromise or surrender of the shadow of a shade oi the full measure of justice will I listen / ' After this he went to the pubh ' c meeting . He explained his mission . He spoke home to the Leans of iha working p opie . He enlisted their sympathies on the side of right and justice : and from thit day may be dated the political redemDtion of Leeds from the hands of faction !
From Leeds he proceeded ail over the country . He also visited Scotland . He rous-ed the dormant energies of the people . He infesed into them a new < p 5 rii . He impartec to ibem a portion of his oiya " uawearied activity . He organized them . He directed their aiLeEticn to one point . He made thtm acquainted w ; Va ea . < fn other , and secured amongst them co-operation for an undivided purpose . He made the agi : ation really f * rmidall ? t
and it was , therefore , determined by those who had hitherto lived on tho people ' s divisions , and who had beea ereat men in their little spheres s to 4 c : " rid of Fzakgcs . " And now we come to exr-lain the reason why the public have seen the Latching and blowing-up of so many plots and schemes to accomplish this purpose . Many people have wondered to find professing Radicals and Caanis : ? en ^ a ^ ed i ; i : he accomplishment of tr . ese schemes . They have wondered how it could possibly come to pass , that men who were bound to confess that Mr . O'Connor worked ^ o , as hardly ever mm worked ; that he "ha-i brought to the cause indomii ^ ble energy , considerable skill , and unwearied activity ; " they have wondered how i ; could happen that such a man should be conspired sgaiust , and plots laid to accomplish his riddance , by professing mends : when we have given thtm our explanation they will wonder no longer . iir . O'Connoe ' s great crime , all along , from the am hour ot his introduction amongst us to the present , has been , that hs wa-- , and is , an anii-. Vaithviian ; that he was t-Le friend of la * ocb ,
and aa opponent 0 : me dominant influence and po \~ e . ' of capital . This is the head and Iront of Ms offending . Had he been 3 ilait-jasian ; had he b-ren 2 . supporter of the hellish principle upon which ihe . New Poor Law is based , ar . d a Repeal of the Corn Lvivs ? ioir advocated ; had he been inclined to catt < c tae people wkh tbe question of the Suffrage , while he was aiini ; in £ 2 : 25 on the chains of iisTery so :: gc .: ir as ; o leave tee poor victims no libcizy st s .

as the best tool that could have been pnt into their hands ! But he was too honest . He saw who the real enslavers of the working classes were . He saw the projects that had been formed for their complete and effectual debasement . He knew the worthlessness of that pretended philosophy , which countenances the extirpation of a portion of the human race , because of a surplusage ! He gave utterance to his sentiments . He spoke hf me to the hearts and understandings of his auditors . He laid naked and bare , the schemes of the Malthnsians .
He ranged himself on the side of Labocb , and taught the Labourer how to fcnoio and how to estimate his friend . He helped to turn the tide of public opinon on this question ; and it is because of this ; it is because he has been a stumbling-block in the way of the Free-trading New-Poor-Lawing Malthudans ; it is because he baa unveiled their hideous vis 3 ges , and exposed their horrible deformity ; it is because of these things , and these alc-ne , that one section of pretended advocates of Umyebsal Suffrage have plotted and conspired to " get ric of Feargus . "
This conduct on the part of Mr . O'Connor has earned for him the unextinguishable hatred of the Places , the Hm ^ s , the Rolbucks , the Wabburtons , and every disciple of tho school of Malthas . It is ifeis conduct which has caused the employing of every engine by this school , to procure the political destruction of this " indomitable " oppenent . This conduct caused the establishment of the Working Man ' s Association , where tbe working me-n were to do without leaders ; and where none but working men were to take part . This conduct caused the employment of emissaries from this same Working Man ' s Association to go through the country to form branch Associations , on this same principle of no
leadership ; the emissaries living all the time they were so employed on money furnished by their leaders , Joe Hukz and Fbanky Plaie ! !! It was this conduct on the part of Mr . O'Conhor , that caused the numerous slights and insults to be heaped upon him by the rump of the London Malthusians ; and the numerous plans and concoctions to prevent him from having the privilege to address the public audiences . It was the reasons arising from this conduct on Mr . O'Connor's part that prompted the Fux and Goore scheme , to " get rid of Feargns ; " and we need no better evidence than this " portrait" of the Nonconformist ' s to shew us that those reasons have had some tceight in the formation and developement of the Complete Suffrage scheme itself .

Horks Tavern Chartists , London , must excuse our inserting their denunciatory resolution There are means enough of making the matter known in thei * own localities without our interference . These things should be always kept from the public if possible . Mr . John Campbell . — We received from this pers n , last week , far publication , a very long epistle . We received b y the same post along with it a private letter from him requesting its not to publish it . We did not publish it ; and tee hear that his ' honesty" has since " denounced" us soundly for not publishing it ! The " honest "
man prepared for this stroke of policy by sending a second private letter , " instructing" us ts publish the long one ; but uhich he knew that tee should not receive till Friday , after most of the papers were printed . A South Lancashire Delegate . —The version given at the meeting on Sunday of an alleged conversation with Air . Hill respecting a idle Chartist lecturer is a wilful and wicked perver sion of the truth . J . H . Clarkb . —He is there sure enough . L . T . Clancy must excuse us for the present : we are full . .
The Sincerity and Sympathy of the Complete Suffragists . —Wpoh this subject ; Duncan Robinson calls attention to the following facts : — " A meeting of delegates from the various trades , shops , and factories , in and around Glasgow , calk 4 by placard , to discuss the propriety of sending dele gates to the Conference wnich is to V ; held at Birmingham , on the 27 tb of Deceuibsr , and that of advising means to raics the funds nececsaty for effecting such an object , was held in the Chartist Church , on tha 15 th of November . There were present on that occasion forty-three delegates . .. They appointed a deputation to wait on the Directors of the ChETfgr . Association , and also that of the Complete Suffrage Association , respeotfally soliciting tho co-oparation of tnose partin with
them in their undertakini ? . This was done \» ita the view that , if snccsssfnl , it slight be ttie means of leading to a beUsr understanding between the middle and working claeses , —such as would ultimat 3 ly tsnd to effect that union , without wbich some are disposed to think neither will obt-. in their object . The depu ^ ition accordingly waited on tbe directors of the Complete Suffrage Association , who were met that evening at Graham ' s Coffee Room , Trongate , when they ( the directors ) said they could give no answer until they should call a meeting of their Association , when they would inform Ihe , deputation , if they chose to call ,
at tbe close of their meeting , what decision they might come to on the subject . Well , ou Tuesday last , tbe directors of the Charter Association met for the purpose of considering tbe matter , and unanimously ngreed to co-operata with such of their fellow-citizens - ri might choose to join them in the raising of funds for the support of such delegaies as a public meeting of their fellow-oitisans would elect , whether Complete Suffrrjists , or not . The Complete Suffragists . reply was , 'We will support no delegate neither with ; suniary nor other means wno may not be pledged to the principles of tbe Complete Suffrage . '''

Whsvt we wish to show you isr that Bristol he ") had no desire to engage lecturers to be paid by the country at large ; but fias aiways , although at t ? mes with some considerable difficulty , defended upon her
own resources . In the montn of June , in the pr :. i : nt jtdr , the Bristol . ' Councillors entered into an engagement with Mr . Bairstow . as a lecturer for three months , at the weekly ealaty of " 359 . per weak . Just upon this Mr .

THE LATE WHOLESALE INFANTICIDE IN THE FOREST OF DEAN . DEATH OF FRANCES BENNETT , THE MURDERER OF HER CHILDREN . Gloucestkr , Saturday . —Few occurrences have excited a more painful interest in this quarter than the investigation which terminated in the committal of Frances Bennett from Buardean , in the Forest of Dean , to the county gaol in this city , to await her trial at tho a 83 iz 2 S . The circumstances have been Stated , and are shortly these : —Frances Bennet , after the death of her husband , by whom she had several children , lived with a man named Yapp , a haulier , the children by ' . ' marriage-haying gone elsewhere . About a month ago , Bennett , under the apprehension , that she was about to die , made a disclosure to a clergyman , in the presence of several pertons , to tho eff « ot that she had six children by Yapp , but none of them had been allowed to live , she having suffocated
them immediately after birth . She told wheTe the remains of the bodies would be found . The latest murder , according to tho confession of the wonian , was perpetrated about Christmas last year , and the spot which she indicated as containing the remains was found on examination to conceal the most perfect skeleton of any . Tho truth of this horrid confession having in- this way been placed beyond a doubt , information wa ? tent to John Cooke , Esq ., one of the county coroners , who instantly proceeded from Gloucester to Ruardean to institute an investigation . The witnesses examined on the inquest consisted chiefly of the persons to whom the woman had made the confession , including the clergyman who had communicated with the magistrate on the subject , and the persons who had found the remains' of the bodies . In course © f the examination of the
clergyman by the coroner , it came out that he had had a second interview with the wretched woman , none being preacat but ^ hemselvejs , and that , shohaci inade eonie additional disclosures . The rev . Gentieniiin , however , on the ground that what he wa > told upon this occasion was mixed up with his ' . ¦ . ' " spiritual " duties , refused to communicate any particulars , although pressed to de so by the coroner . The . woman , mortovcrj began to deny that she had made any such ¦ confession , a j . that sworn to by the witnesses , but enough had been proved to justify the jury in returning a verdict , of wilful murder against Bennett and her paramour , Yapp . The latter was inshuitiy removedto Gioucc : ter , but the state of Bennett ' s health was such as to induce the coroner to delay the order for her removal tiil it could be efftcted without daDger .
On the afternoon of Thursday , the 17 th instant , the miserable woman arrived at the county gaol in a fly , attended by Mr . Bird , a medical men . She was carried up stairs to the hospital , and on being placed on the bed , she said , " Now I will die happy . " She died early on the Friday morning . This day an inquest was held on the body , before John Cooke , Esq .. tho coroner , wko conducted the investigation at Kuardean . Disease bad reduced tho body to a . perfect skeleton , but the appearance of the features was more plen-ing than otherwise . Mr . Cooke , who saw the deceased alive about three weeks ago , remarked that her fc .., bad undergone little change . Che first witness examined was Eliza GanEmore , one of the nurses attached , to the gaol , who stated that she w : n directed to wait upon the deceased shortly after her arrival . Deceased often thanked God thai she had been removed , andbaid that she was much happier in ga ? l than at home .
The Coroner here stated that a rumour was abroad that the deceased wsi in the family way , aua he asked the witnc : s if she could speak to tho point ! Tiie witness stated that she asked the question of deceased , and she stated that she was not . Deceased said that she was only thirty-eight years of age . Maria Nuttal , another nurse , was next examined . She said that she wa ? present when the deceased died on Friday morning , aud was-wiib her some days previous . She a ~ ked witness to read and pray to her . Sometimes when she was reading the deceased would say ¦* Stop ; wait till I ' m better , '' and when fhe recovered she would ask her to go on . As her death approached she seemed to feel contested . She was sensible to the last . She said that she had been il ! for about tweive months . :
Mr . Hi ekes , the surgeon , stated that the complaint of which the deceased : died was pulmouary ' coris-uuintion , and , in his opinion , the removal trom Kuardean had neither ; iiijiircd tor benefitted her . Siie -S ! .-omtd to be aware tLat she could survive only lor -a . ¦ lew days . She mentioned to him and others that she had been sent ; to gaol , charged with the murder of her ciiiidren . Tho jury returaed a verdict of " Died frcua natural causes . " Yapp , on being tcld of the death of Oennett wept bitterly . The body Was . burkd by the ' relatives o : the deceased .

As to worldiy means , the murderers were convort able . Indeed it is allpgfd that the only index to their brutal conduct is to be ib' -ud iu tho circum .. stance that Bennett ' s husband settled his -pnji > rty upon her , but with the restriction that shoui' : -he marry azain the property , was to go to his cj Idren . It w— : the desire ' to reiain the prr-v . rty which probibly ' prevented hor marriage wiih Y- > p , and every bo . dy kaotv ^ how one crime lesas to another .

Time warns us that wo must now close this somewhat lerjgthy article . ' . We have not yet finished . The course we had chalked out is far from being gone over . We have yet to detail other and minor reasons for the desire to " get rid of Feargus ; " but which are necessary to be known in order to a full consideration and understanding of the subject . We have also to fling back the foul and deliberate lie op the Nonconformist , that Mr . O'Cohnoh " brought to the cause , the doctrine of Phvsical Force . ' We have
also to expose the cowardly miscreant where he charges tbe outbreaks of 3839 to the effectB ot Mr . O'Cosnob ' s violence , and the horrible imputation contained in the . assertion , that " the man who laid the train and kindled the match , clunk away to Ireland beyond reach of danger . " We intend to give a full history of those transactions , and cause the blame of them to fall on the right hea s . We have also to meet his assertion , that Mr . O'Connor caused the defection of the middle-class-leaders . We have to meet him thoroughly and completely ; aud purpose to do it .
; This , however , must rc 3 t till another week . We have neither time nor space for more of it at , present . We cannot conclude without calling on the working people to complete the good work they have eo well begun . Follow the example of Birmingham ! Elect to this Conference men whom you kxffio as advocates of Universal Suffrage j men who have proved their devotion to tbe prinj ciple ; men who will not temporize , or turn to ! the right hand or to the left ; men who will not I make the advocacy of the Suffrage a stepping-stone : f < t the realization of the schemes and projects of the ; Free Trader 3 . We implore you to send men in whom ! you can place implicit confidence : to listen to no
pro-, posals abour two delegates from one association , and j two from the other ; to hearken to no compromises , ; no arrangement ? , no bargaining ; for you may depend 1 on it that where such is the case , a sale is to be ! effected , let whoever muy receive the price ! To the : work , then , working-men ! Look about you ! Choose ; men with , cool heads and honest hearts . Give them your instructions in full . Tell them what you want them to do . Bid them go do it ; and this Coafer-£ . nc £ , rei-peoting which there is so much ALARM in some quarters , shall tend to the consolidation of our ranks , the augmentation of our power , and the ad-| vancement of our principles .
