jHe knows this to be a lie . It is moreover a wicked J and mal : eiou 3 lie ; ixtesded simplt to etdicaxethai ICE HOCyDED ON THE G 0 VEBSHE 5 T TO THE ABKESTS . He \ knows that "the Government had commenced their pursuit ** , and that the arrests had began three days 1 before the appearance of the Star . He knows that ! Tckser , the prinier of the addres was arrested , and his types se i zed , erven while the Conference wa = stting : he knows that Leach was arrested , and \ that himself and Cjlmfbell and Baibstow , all ' ran for iv ' that same night . He knows that he has been a in hiding" ever since that night . He knows that in the Star succeeding the Conference ' that addrsss ' teas Rfurr named . But he know 3 also whea -and
where Mr . Hill did denounce it . He knows that when Mr . Hiix first eaw it , he denounced it as a " mad mischievous document" ; as an address that could not , under the circumstances , be issued -wiinoat doing more harm than its anthors could eTer hope to repair during their whole lives . He knows that we tins characterised it to him when "we first saw it _ He knows also all about the tone assumed by somebody about certain parties doing certain things " on their &ws responsibility ! " He knows all about it . And jit he has the irnvndenee and the " malice" to aJSrin that -wejut 1 ?* £ Gortrnmatt on their blood track by denouncing that address in the succeeding Star !
Having thus , in the face of his hypocritical disclaimer of" couiiter accusation" got up one of the meanest and most dastardly false accusations ever penned by man , he proceeds to found upon it a wincing crawling appeal for the protection" of the Manchester Trades , 3 gainst the consequences ¦ which he reasonably supposed might follow . Poor thing he needs no protection from us ; we would not hurt a hair of his head ; but we shall , so far as Jwe caa preTent his doing farther mischief to the
morexneni-The twenry-sixih paragraph is a notable effort to combat a " bojrgk" of his cwn creation . " He will haTe it that somebody thinks the " Address" cau ? ed the Strike- We suppose that there is no" man besides himself whose imagination attaches to k so much of " the witching power" ! In the twenty-seventh paragraph he says : — " There are bet t-svo ways to blame the address ; £ r ? t , because it _ did continue the strike , and second because it did not . Mr . Hill is one who blames it for the Srst cause . "
Indeed the -writer mistakes , Mr . Hiu . does no gueh thing . Mr . H ill blames it for a cause quite different from either 01 these two . He blames it , not because it vras ever likely to have any effect at all upon the strike , either to continne it or otherwise , but because it was a mess of frothy mouthing balderdash , fitted for no good purpose and calculated only to do mischief . He blamed it becanse there was neither sense , nor reason , nor truth , nor discretion , nor anything but rant in it . He blamed it because i ; made promisesand held out expectations which its authors Snew could not be realized . He blamed it because of its prate about " the machinery being all
arranged , " which was well known not to be in existence at all . He blamed it because it told boasjfni lies to rouse the people to an exertion which the party who wrote it knew must fail . He blamed it because he saw from the first that the only earthly thing it proald ox conld do Tvas jnsi that -which it Vm ;; done , become the head and front of a government . prosecution ; and because he saw it to be so admirably adapted for that' purpose that if it had been written and intended for it and if the writer had been well paid for his job , it could not have served the purpose better . These were just the reasons why Mr . Hill blamed " the sad , mischievous document which has been ascribed t © the Executive . " We had much rather that the
trials had been over before we had been compelled : to state them thus plainly ; it wa 3 not M'Dotjall ' s pleasure that it should be so ; he had doubtless his j own reasons foi forcing from us thfc avowal , " and he ; may now make of it what he pleases . - ; "We see nothing more worthy of notice , save the I threat that he will ba among us again ' sooner than we dream oL" We beg him to undeceive himself ;; lie cannot make any movement that will snrprise us . j If he rfppose that we ever thought Mm out of ; England , his suppositions are little akin to some of his assertions . " But come he soon , or come he ; slow , " he will in aU probability find us still upon the " watch tower" that so much annoys him .
We suppose that by thi 3 time the whole country ; must be as sick of this nasty mess as we are ; and we ; again remind the people that the thing they have to i look to is the prevention of future , rather than the : remedy of past , grievances . Without organization j our movement is powerless for good . We can have i no effective organization without a directing head ;; but the head is useless without brains and heart . , We again press npon the people the indispensable I datv of taking up the matter , and of doing ' so immediately- We warn them against j suffering themselves to be persuaded that j it is a personal matter between U 3 and the members ;
of the Execmive . We declare solemnly that- we have no personal feeling against any of them ; we have doue-. our duty in calling the people ' s attention ' . to the matter , on principle , and on principle alone , i rue simple question is , whether we are to have an , Organization in fact or in name only ; whether the ; cScers of our Association have or have not specific j dmies , or whether they are to be invested with absolute power to do west they please . This is the whole matter , and to this matter the people must ; confine their attention . We presume that the whole i country will agree with us in opinion that it is j necessary to have an Organization , and that it i ?' necessary for that Organization to be adhered to . ]
If this be secured for the future we are satisfied ; we care not how or by whom . We haveno wish to see the present Executive punished for their past ; misconduct ; we haTe no wish to see them displaced , if they can satisfy th « people that they will here- ' af : er act in . accordance with the organizatien , and ' carry on : their own principles in their own conduct , i We have never asked for more than this , and we think the people ought not to be content with less . We give our own opinion honestly , both upon the merits of the question and upon the men . We think ' . tbfit the present system affords too much temp-: iation , and too many facilities for zha abuses ,
waica seem to us to hate been hitherto rife . W " e think that their recurrence pill be best prevented by the appointment of . an- efficient and business-like Secretary who , being -well paid , shall be absolutely required to devote kis whole time to it ; and that with such an officer there is no need of any oifaer paiei Executive ; but that our work would be , in all probability , much better dons byastaxding committee , acting from a loTe of the cause , than it nas hivherto been done by mercenaries . These are our opinions ; we ask for them no oth * r influence than that to which they are entitled ; we submit them , not as a guide , but as a help to public
deliberation . We give them " as the opinion of ONE 1 LAN ; ' founded upon much observation , long experience in public matters , meacs of information more extensive than those of most men , and arising ont of , and animated by , an ardent love for principle , and for the cans ? . They will find in our pTesenv paper the opinion of another man upon this matter—a man wtose opinion is well deserving their attention—Thomas Cooper . We advise them to read his communication carefully ; to consider bow far it may or msv not be practicable ; and to give the whole
EEtject most deliberate attention with a view w its speedy settlement . 'Tis a matter of universal istcrert , and of vitsl consequence 4 and we suggest that when the people have made np their minds on the manor , they thould instruct their delegates to lie fouhco ^ icg Conference at Eirmir ^ am , so to xeti ^ s . arctud , and consolidate onr L "r ealisation , a ? to secure iis oficial working hereafter .

THE APPROACHING CONFERENCE . Is a portion of the last week ' s impression of the NorthernStar we commented at considerable length upon an article that appeared in the Nonconformist newspaper of Nov . 23 d , in which the writer , speaking on behalf of the Stcbge party , openly expressed his surprise and ALARM at the result of the Birmingham Ejection of Delegates to the Conference on the " 27 : h , and in whichhe also made a fonl and malignant personal attack upon Mr . O'Coxxor . In concluding those comment ? , we intimated that ourreplv to that attack , lengthy as it was , was far from being concluded ; that we had several of the false charges of the Nonconformist to rebut and expose ; and that in all probability , we should return to the subject , and complete the answer this week .
The demands upon the space of our present number prevent ns from fulfilling that expressed intention The Conference itself is ju ? t at hand . The elections are now goiDg on . Where the people have no ; stirred , it is time , they did . Upon their exertions much depends . Where apathy prevaib , it is time that a working spirit was infused . To perform our paTt in the work of making this Conference that which it should be—an instrument for good and not for evil—needs all » he lime , and spsee , and attention we have at disposal ; and , therefore , the further defence of Mr . O'Conxob . from the lying accusations of the Sturgeite organ must be deferred till another opportunity .
We regret this the less , because we perceive that the Nortconformist , in the current week ' s number , just received here , has rot dared to notice ,, in any manner , that portion of our reply which appeared on Saturday last . He has u&r ventured to show the reasons he had for expressing ALARM at the return of TTsitzssal SriFE-iGE Delegates to a Unitebsai Siffsace Conference 1 Ee has not dared to reiterate his vile and slanderous personal charges
against Mr . O'Coxngb , ot to reply to our fiat and ucqualified contradiction of them . To accomplish class ard party objects , he circulated a deadly poison . We fnrniLbed an antidoie : but hia love of right and fair-play dictates not to him the necessity of showing those whom his misrepresentations have misled tkat what he advanced was calumnious and false ! No . The answer is nnnoticed . As far as he is concerned , the poison is still left to work where it may .
Tee time for holding the Conference is near Wherever delegates are not yet elected , it is time that the warking people were en tie alert , and arrargiBg for public meetings to elect them . That Conference is to decide whether there shall be a oneness of purpose ix ocx owx ju > 'KS , or two objects of pursuit ? On the exertions of the people themselres depends that decision ! The Conference is called to prepare a Bill to secure the just representation of the people . A Bill for that purpose has been long prepared , and acknowledged by millions of the people 1 That Bill is known by the name of the People ' s Charter .
Thai Bill , and that name , has been the rallyingpoint for the people ' s forces . To accomplish its legislative enactment , unshorn , and nnmutilated , they have banded themselves together in a strong union , and shown themselves capable of moral exertions unsurpassed by any people upon earth . To seduce them from "the position they have hitherto occupied in reference to the Charter , every means that could be devised have been used . A movement here , and a movement there , have been started , to draw off a portion of the
working hands , and introduce division and feuds . Bait after bait has been exhibited ; tub after tub has been thrown to the whale- The good sense and firm determination of the people have hitherto defeated the stratagems and wiles of the decoyers . Whenever there has been a disposition shown to nibble , the people have raised the alarm ; and the gaping fool with the big-swallow has either timely retreated back again into the ranks , or gone clean over ( hut by himself . ' ) to the new camp , where he has become the despised of his new associates , and the laughing-stock and scora of his old oues
So far the people have done well their dnty . This is not the time to slack it . They know our opinion of the Stttrgb movement from beginning to end . They know our opinion of the parties with whem it originated , and by whom it is conducted . We have never cloaked nor dissembled that opinion . We have always believed their object to be , the destruction , by their poisonous embraces , of the Charter Mevement . The more close our observation of all passing circumstances and of their whole policy , the more rooted and settled that opinion becomes . Their plan 3 are deep-laid . Their resources are extensive . Their purposes for mischief we believe to
be deeply settled ; their consciences by no means scrupulous in ths use of means ; and their power such as cannot safely be despised . All these things are proved conclusively by their mode of going about the getting-up of this Conference . It is a great card , and they are playing for a great stake . Never were more skilful adepts in tke art ofshvfflmg ; and if the people be not wide awake they will find their ¦ packing powers to be quite as mischievous . From the first they have aimed to destroy the Movement by rendering it a mere waiter on the Corn Craik club . Hence the first dodge from which we beat them , of making one-half of this National
Conference the representatives of ten-pounders . This they knew would secure them a sweeping majority of Corn Ci aikf , and therefore they tried hard for it . ~ Friend" " NO" gave it np verv reluctantly ; but was forced , from mere Ehame , to provide , in the long-run , that the election meetings should be open and public ; though this was done so ambiguously as to leave open still a lsop-hole for the former project , if the people should , by slumbering on their post , permit it . This did not escape our notice any more than that of the SirsGE organ , the Nonconformist . We wear spectacles . We called the attention of the people to the appearance of fair-play
that was now afforded ; and to the chance that now lay in their hands of making this a National Conference for useful purposes . They took up the matter in the right spirit . Birmingham , the stronghold of " Suffragism , " took the lead , and did its work . The Glasgow "lads" have followed up in gallant style . So far , so well , But let us not be lulled into security by tuis appearance of success . There is an old proverb , that " the first blow is half tha battle ; " but we never think the battle done till the last blow has been struck . There are many elections yet to come . Let not the people thiuk that Birmingham and Glasgow can do the work alone . Their example must be universally followed , and their hands universallv strengthened ; or their
exertions will be lost ! The struggle m « st be at the eiecikos : not in the Conference . The Conference , if i ; is to do any good , must be a deliberative body ; not a fight between antagonistic parties . This can only be seeiircd by sending to it men pledged to like measures , not only in principle but in detail . The Sturge men have two points in -new ;—to make the Conference an engine for the frustration of the Charter ; or , failing that , to destroy its usefulness by causing i ; to do nothing at ail . The people have only one way to preclude success in one or other of these objects ; and that is , to send thei * owx hex I to listen to no compromise ! to reject all OTertures , however specious or seeming ; and to sexp TKJEiE cwx hex 1 oi , at all events , to submit them to the fair chance of public acceptance or
rejection . There are a kind of " silly bodies" who talk of democratic principle teaching us to permit others to share fairly with us the Representation . We doa ' t understand this doctrine . To us there seems neither sense nor consistency in it . We understand ceniccrscy to nit an Goverr . mcn : by the people ; and deiEOCTanc principle to iacrade deference to 'he public v .. ice . So far , tc ^ a , from seeing any violation of the oem-. 'criuc principle in submitting » V . r C :, 2 ? t ~ . s : ; to th ? aL' :-: p ' . 2 Ece of thf r . vr'e :: ¦ . av . v tc-. n frora ^ Ir . ch .

put np , this seems to ns to be the onij ^ eonrse in which the democratic principle is honestly recognised . To burke the expression of public mind npon our principles by withholding candidates , becanse other parties wish to be represented , may pass with some for democratic good-feeling : we have only two names for it , —the parties may take which they like , —short-sighted gullibility , or treachery . The Sturge men know better the value of the stake they play for . They neither offer , nor listen , to any compromises , excepi where they know themselves to be powerless . Did they offer any compromise at Birmingham ? " NO ! " Strong as they knew the Chartist body to be there , they calculated their own strength , and hazarded the struggle . The resul '
took them aback a bit ; and they have in some other places looked a little before they leaped . But wherej ever they thought themselves strong enough to carry their men , " no compromise with Chartists" was their policy . In proof of this we refer toJGlasgow ; and that our readers iray know that we represent the matter fairly , we dou't giye the story from our own reporter . We do not take it from any newspaper , or from any public document , or from any source of which there could bj the least suspicion that a party purpose was entertained . We point them to the following letter , written without the remotest noti « n that it was ever to be published , by a working m Glasgow , to a private friend , and by him forwarded * . o us , simply for our own perusal : —
Glasgow , Dec . 1 st , 1842 . Dear Fbie . xd , —I write in haste to inform you of the results of a great public meeting held iu the City Hall , Gl&sgew , on Tuesday evening last , Nov . 29 th , to elect delegates to the Birmingham Conference . It was one of the most complete victories ever I saw achieved by one party o- » er another . There could not be less than from 5 to 6000 preiant ; and although the Complete Suffragists mustered all their forces , backed by the Irish Repealers , they were put to the rout . Yen must understand that a depu ' ation from the Chartists waited upon the Directors of the Complete Suffrage Association ; for the purpose of making arrangewe 7 t' s for the election of De / ejaies to Birmingham , but
THEY WERE TREATED WITH CONTEMPT and SCOBS , and informed that they ( the Directors ) had drawn out a line of policy for the delegates to act upon ; ajid that unless they got six delegates elected at th $ pnb'ic meeting iotbide by THEIR instructions , that they wou'd not pay a farthing to the delegates to Birmingham , Toe Drpatation having acquainted the Chartist body ^ rith the overbearing condnct of the Complete Suffrage party , it was resolved to attend the public meetiDjj , whenever called by the Complete Suffragists , and see , if public opinion would , put them right upon the subject . Accordingly , on Tuesday evening last , the great gathering took place . The doors were thrown open at about half-past six o'clock , and by eight ,
i the tune at which the chair was to be taken ) the ball was crammed fall . Mr CL-orge Boss was elected to the chair by an overwhelming majority , in oppo&itiou to Dt . Donelly , -who was proposed by the Complete Suffrage party . Mr . Adams , en the part of the Chartists , moved " That this meeting eltct six delegates , and that they be instructed to abide by the principles containedjin that doenmeut called the People ' s Ciiarter ; " and after being seconded Mr . il'Fdrlane onthepartof the Complete Suffragists , moved an amendment to the effect that this meeting send six delegates pledged to the Six Points , but that they be at liberty to support any measure brought forward at the Conference to repeal the Corn Laws , or any other monopoly . Both motions having
been spoken to for nearly three hours , the amendment was put , when about three or four hundred held up their bands for it immediately ; but upon the motion being pnt it was carried by an overwhelming majority , followed by unbounded applause , the noise of which was like the souud of ten thousand drams ; and truly at such a eight and such a sound the Complete Suffrage men were sorely dismayed . Alter the mee ' . ing ihad jettled into a calm , Mr . Samuel Kidd moved , " That the delegates be further instructed to abide by the Charter , name and all , " which was also carried by a sweeping majority . The next business -was the election of delegates , which fell upon the following
individuals , the whole of them out-and-out Chartists—Mr . Moir , Mr . Anderson , town councillor , who was lately elected by the Chartists for the first ward ; Mr . Adams , Mr . Ancott , Mr . Kidd , and Mr . M'Colquhoun . Each of the above was elected by triumphant majority . The proceedings did not end until near one o ' clock in the morning . Thus ended ene . of the most glorious meetings I ever attended / It has put new life into tbo Chartist movement here , and has taught those trimmers betwixt the factions and the working classes a lesson which they are not likely soon to forget A few more such conquests and the people ' s cause will be brought to a triumphant issue . Hail ! hail ! the happy time .
Ddar friend , should the late news from China have given an impetus to your trade , and any hands should be wanted , I hope you ¦ will have the goodness to let mo know , I remain , yours , In true friendship , John miller . Mr . William Daniels , Lisa wade , Near Edinburgh . We prefer giving this simple statement to any
technical " report ' of the meeting , just because it is a plain , unsophisticated matter , and shows the true state of things , without twist or colouring . Let the people read it , then ; and let them notice specially the part we have printed in italics ; and see the Sturge-men ' s policy and animus . We don't blame that policy .. We think the Stcrge-men consistent and right . They have an end to gain ; and they take all fair means and advantages for its obtainment . They do right : let the Chartists do likewise all over !
No compromise ! Ko two-and-two , or oneand-one , or three-and-one ! But in every place let as many Chartist candidates be started as there are members wanted . This is the only way to give Chartist principles fair-play . This is the oniy true exhibition of democratic policy . Any trimming deviation from it is a base sacrifice of principle ; arid whoever practices or recommends it , has some end to serve , other than that of furthering the cause ! ¦ Let the people rest assured of that : and let them watch well their local leaders , their councillors , and those who usaally " manage matters" for them . If these desert their posts , or slumber- a , t them , they must do the work themselves . We warn them to be wary of
placing too much confidence in local leaders . They are not always to be trusted implicitly . Many circumstances operate to sway them of which the people know nothing . But if the people keep their own eyes open , the cause is always safe . What they have to do is this : to attend in , their full streug ! h all meetings for the election of delegates ; to watch the proceedings carefully ; to recollect that all these are public meetings ; that no clique of persons have any right to their " management ; " and that every man there has as much right to speak and to nominate a candidate , as any other man . Let them , then , watch the proceedings . Let them ascertain how many members are to be elected ; and
the exact character of a % the candidates proposed . If there ba not among them the full number of outand-out , known , earnest , Chartists nominated , let them take care that the nominations be completed then and thero . If , for instance , four delegates be wanted for Bradford , or Huddersfield , or any other town ; and if at the public meeting fox election , the "lads" find that two Chartists and two Complete Suffragists , or three Chartists and one Stcrgite , arc nominated , let them rest assured that in this case their couneilmen have played them false ; they have either neglected their duty or deserted it . And let the people instantly proceed to
recti'y the Jnischief , by nominating the required number of Chartists on the spot . There will surely be some man present who knows men fit to serve . Don't stand higgling , stammering , and waiting for somebody else to do it , until it it be too late ; but let the thing be done ! Remember the importance of the struggle . It is for life . ' It is for the honour , and value , and efficiency of our Movement ' . No temporising policy ; no calculating coquetry , nor worse kind of treachery must be permitted now to work . The people must awake to their own business . They must open their eyes aud rub them , and watch all points I There is more mischief at work than many of them dream of !!
The Stcrge-men play tfieir game desperately . They mean to have a majority by hook or by erock ; and they don't stick much at mean ? . They do not all act like the Glasgow Sturge-men . It is only where they are strong that they show any thing like fair play . Where they are ucak , they try compromise : and , if that fail , they iiy to subterfuge ¦ From Doncaftera Cbar . is : brother wriies us ; hr :=: — .

patty as soon as we altered the room , and particularly by Mr . Milner , town councillor , and great gun of the Anti-Corn-Law party , / who declared the Chartists Bhould not take any part in that night ' s proceedings . Mr . Haste , their secretary , was called to the chair . He said the first business of the meeting was to adopt some plan to mse the meauB to send two delegates to the Coufer-« ne 8 ^ » nd if tney tndnghc they could net send two from this town , two gentlemen of Birmingnam , whom he , had . corresponded with , would have great pleasure in representing Dancaater In the forthcoming Conference . Mr . Bloomer rose and asked the chairman if the Conference was a national one ? if it was he thought this was an unjust , as well as illegal way to elect them at a hole-and-corner meeting like thia , instead of a public meeting ; upon which tae chairman rose and protested against the Chartists interfering . The chairman / then called on those who were in favour of those two gentlemen representing Doncaster to hold up their hands . The motion was carried . ¦ - : '• • . - .- ¦ . ¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦ ' . . ¦ - .... : ¦¦ • .. - ¦
P . S . I forgot to state that the bellman' star ted to call the meeting at six o ' clock in the evening , to take place at eight ! The name of the delegate is Clark Brothers . We shall call a public meeting to elect two , and protest against the others sitting . " This shows their determination . It is to have a majority at all 'hazards ; or , at all events , to secure so strong a party as shall make the Conferenoe useless , if they cannot make it a tool for their own ends . Wh y are they thus determined ! Why thus recklesB , persevering , and overbearingi It would puzzle any man to assign any other reason than that
which we have all along assigned . Their purpose is to aid the enemy 1 to uphold class-legislation by weakening . the opposition to it . The old maxim "divide-and conquer , " is their motto . The avowed object of the Conference is to draw up a Bill in opposition to the People ' s Charter ! and so to divide the Universal Suffrage forces into two distinct bodies . This has not yet been done . Hitherto the Complete Suffragists have passed as ' . " Chartists , but not O'Connor CharUsts . " The seeming approximation has been wilily used to lull suspicion as to their ultimate purpose ; and has been artfully combined with the charitable overflow of " friend "
"NOV generosity . He wished the Chartists and Complete Suffragists to think kindly of each other ; he bad no wish to destroy or injure the Chartist Association ; be did not wish the Chartists to leave their own body and join his new union . No ' . !¦ no ! That would have put a stopper upon allhis projects . The end could not then have been wrought out—of a " complete" division of the Universal SujFgAGE ranks . It was necessary to proceed cautiously , that a body might be formed , seemingly working in juxfcaposition with the Chartist body , before ( hat couid be wisely attempted . frThe body has been formed ; its
limbs have been appended ; its heart of evil has been well supplied with the blood , of " dissimulation and falsehood ; and the only thing now wanting is the head which this Conference is to put on , that the body may be " complete . " An opposition Bill here drawn , and afterwards introduced into Parliament ; and the " complete ' disunion will be effected . The Corn Craiks will carry after them the blinded and the interested brawlers ; while the honest and sincere Suffrage men will be left at a " complete" distanoe to admire the adroitness with which , by ; "Union , " thoir strength " has' been destroyed !
The peoplebave now tho whole thing before them . They know their work . It rests with them "totfo , ornot todo" ! There is one subject on which perhaps some difficulty may arise . Many of our friends are poor , and many localities would , in all probability , gladly send delegates who cannot pay them . This may be obviated by a little management .: . "It . is at all times better that the delegate should ,, if possible , go from the place whence he 13 delegated . But where this cannot be done , " Complete
Suffrage" principles certainly do not contemplate the exclusion of the parties from the right of representation by others who may reside elsewhere . We believe this is to bo the practice of all representative bodies . We never knew or heard of any representative body whioh made it imperative upon its members to be resident respectively in the places which they represent . And we are happy to find that this much of justice is recognized , not only by the principles , but by the practice , of tho : Stukge-men themselves . In their official organ , the Nonconformist , we find the following paragraph : — :

Brewster , in a short address to the Complete Suffrage Associations of Scotland , recommends them to hold their meetings for the election of delegates on the same day , at the same hoar ; and reminds them that , in the event of their not being able to nend to the Conference their full complement of representatives , they' may appoint the rest from persons residing in Birmingham , without any- additional expense . " . : Now this is " sound advice ; " and it ought not to be lost upon our Chartist friends . Let every locality which can , send Us own men , as delegates ; but where the expense interferes and becomes a serious
obstacle , the matter may , he easily arranged by getting some good and true man , or men , ef Birmingham , to represent them . The general Councillors of Birmingham would , we are quite sure , lend their assistance in arranging the matter . tetters for them may be . addressed ; to Mr . Geobge White , 38 ; Bromsgrove-atreet , stating the number of delegates that will be required ; and we have no doubt that there are enough of good men in Birmingham ready to serve all Buch localities as may require them ; and that the parties will receive all necessary and satisfactory information . When elected , the instructions to the delegates may be forwarded to them through , tht
same medium ; and thus every place may have its full complement of members . None need be short : and this should , by all means , be specially attended to . It is of great importance ; the more especially if the suggestion contained in our other " leader" of the week be entertained by the people . Nothing can be more clear than that if the consolidation of the Chartist movement , and the final settlement of our Organisation in reference to the Executive and other matters , come before this Conferenoe , its members should be Chartists ; not nominal , but heart : m en ; men who are really interested in the supporting and enhancement of our cause , and not in its
destruction . On the whole it is a grave matter . It will require the people ' s whole energies ; the putting forth of their whole strength , and the exercise of theiu whole pru dence . It is a great card ; and must bo well , vigorously , and skilfully played . Finally , for the holding of meetings and the election of delegates . Let the people see that the business is done in a decent , orderly , and legal manner . We give the following from the Sturge circular calling the Conference . It will be necessary for our friends to note it : —
" The meetings to elect delegates must be of a strictly legal character . Wherever it is practicable and usual , let a requisition be « ent to the local authorities , requesting them to convene the mettings . If this cannot be done , let the Complete Suffrage Union of each district convene its own meeting . In both cases the meetings must be public to all the inhabitants in the town or di iricl . " It is absolutely uecesaary that the names and addresses of the delegates who are appointed to attend tho Conference , accompanied by a copy of the minutes of the meeting at winch they were elected , under the signature of the Chairman of the meeting , should be transmitted to the Council on or before Friday , the 23 rd day of December ; in order that the extent of accommodation required may be known , tickets prepared and other arrangements made . \
. ' - ' Each delegate is requested to call at the office as soon as possible after his arrival in Birmingham . ' They will see from this , that there is no time to lose . Let the Sturge men call meetings wherever they are disposed to call them ; ' and in every such case every public meeting to elect delegates must be well attended . The people must take care to be early that the Chairman be r . ot unfairly chosen . Almost all ihe good of a public meeting may be frustrated by tlia Chairman , if ho be disposed to do so . Let the people s ; e to this therefore ; let 1 : 0 CripJrmn be allowed to act who has not been
d . Cicd by tlie meeting . If . any altum . pt-bo madeas la a ! l probability thcie will—to call meeriugs at an hour when . the . working people can not attur , :-nd whvn , therefore , the middle men caa have it a : i iLcir oku way ; In a representation be instantly

made to the Complete Suffrage Committee , or whoever else have the " getting up" of the meeting ; and if this be unheeded , let a public meeting on some other evening be called to elect delegates ; let the delegates be elected ; and let » letter stating the wholo facts , be forthwith transmitted to tho Complete Suffrage Council at Birmirgham . Let this letter be written in the most moffensivo possible manner ; short and precise , merely stating facts , but yet so full as to give every necessary information ; and let a copy of it be given not merely to the delegate elected by the people at the fair' public meeting , ' but also to some honest delegate whose election is undisputed ; and 1 st him bring the matter before tke Conference at its meeting , if the Council shall not
have previously done justice ; in { the-matter . In every case the eligibility to sit of every candidate elected at an unfair meeting should be ^> rotested against ; the protest should be transmitted te the Council at Birmingham , with the same letter containing a statement of the facts on which it is grounded . The same plan must be adopted if any dishonest means are resorted to for smuggling a Chairman at any public meeting for the election of delegates . This may be done , either by obtruding a Chairman without election , or by eleoting him before the time announced for the meeting . To all these and many other dodges , " the- " shoy-hbys" are well " up . " They will need watching ; but with eare they may be so Matched as to bo unable to avoid doing some good whether they like it or not .
All that the people have a right to require is that every meeting to elect delegates shall be & fair , honestly conducted , publio meeting . And if any delegates be received who have not been thus elected or any excluded who have been thus elected , it will be the duty of every other honest delegate at once to protest against tho whole thing as a fraud upon the public , and come away and leave it . , Where the Sttjege men do not call meetings for the election of delegates , the Chartists must call the meetings themselves ; remembering carefully that
every delegate seat to this Conference must be elected at a publie meeting . Not a public meeting of the Chartist or any other Association ; but an open public meeting—a public ineeting of the inhabitants of the place , called for the purpose . This must be particularly attended to . Any man going there merely as a delegate from any particular body would render the whole proceedings illegal , and every member of the Conference liable to imprisonment . Every place sending a delegate , must call a public meeting for his election .
Two representatives are to be sent from the smaller towns and boroughs , having less than 5 , 000 inhabitants , and four from the larger ones , excepting that Edinburgh , Birmingham , Manchester , Glasgow , and Liverpool may send sir representatives , but no more . London is specially provided for . ; Let every meeting called by . the : Chartists for the election of delegates , be called by requisition ; of which the following may be the form : — ' : " ¦¦ "TO —— "¦ ¦ . " ¦ ¦' ¦ ' . ' ¦¦ ¦
" We , the undersigned , inhabitant householders of —^ 7—— , do request you to call , at an early day , a meeting of the inhabitants of -r- — -, for tho purpose of electing a , delegate to a Conference of delegates , to be holden at BirmingWam , : on the 2 "th day of December , 184 2 , to determine on the essential details of a Bill to be presented to Parliament , for securing the just representation of the whole adult male population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . "
Let this requisition be signed by seven or more inhabitant hoUseholers , each giving thereon his naine trade , and residence ; let it be presented to tho Mayor , Chief Constable , or other principal authority of the place ; and if he refuse to call the meeting , let the requisitors then call it on their own . responsibility ; and , above all things , let every such meeting be conducted with as much order arid decorum , as the service of a parish church .
The next matter for consideration will be the character of the delegates to be sent to this Conference . The people should oonsider deeply the importance of the deliberations to come before that assembly . Do not let it be deluged with , ginger beer bottles ; with more spouting , frothy , speech Makers , Men of stern sense and solid judgment—men not easily gulled or blinded , and yet open to conviction from fair argument , and not bull-headed and bull-necked , are the men the people want—men who understand the Charter , not only as to its prm > ciples , but as to its . details—who are proof against
all the sophistry of the Free-traders and Extension men , and ready with plain common sense answers to all their fallacious statements , and yet men void of factious dispositions—ready to hear reason and to giye reason its due weight by whomsoever urged . Let them in every place look out for such a man—no matter whother "leading" men or not ; no matter whether speakers ornot . ... ; / . ' ¦ ¦ . , ' : ¦ ¦ " ; ' ¦¦ ¦ - . " , : . ¦ ' • . •¦ When the delegates are elected , lei the credentials be made out , and signed by tho Chairman of the public meeting in the following form ;—"To all whom it may concern , "X hereby certify that , at a public and open meeting of the inhabitants of—— - — , held this . ¦ day of - —— , 1842 , at —— -, Mr , ¦ : \^\ ¦¦ - was duly elected , by a majority of the persons then and there present , as their delegate to a conference of delegates , to beholden at Birmingham , on Wednesday , the 27 ih day of December now next , to determine on tho essential details of a Bill to be presented to Parliament * for securing the just representation of the whole adult male population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland .

" Chairman of the said meeting . Let the exertion be made generally and rationally . Let every place which can send a delegate send him . Let every place which can not afford to pay delegates write instantly to White . Let us have " a long pull , a strong pull , and a pull all together , " for the Charter , and " no mistakej" and " no surrender . "
