I ; was clear that the inference was tbat force was to be opposed to any force adopted by the corstituted authorities . Tinder all tbe circcmstinces of the case tbe sentence of the Court would be that he should be lajprwoned in the Q iben ' a Prison for eight months .

      be procured , aud these persons must be actuated by the desire of promoting tbe great objects contemplated , for , unless this be the case , it will be quite useless to attempt the formation of the society . The Secretary also must be well adapted for bis offic ? , for on the manner in which he performs the duties assigned him will very materially depend the rapidity wivb which progress is made ; for although nothing caa lung rctird the progress of public opinion , yet the detula of an tffic : ent organization , by which aione it c : n h-2 rendered effective , can only be secured by its bei . - itf under the arrangement and coutroul of a Bin ^ ie nirn d capable of comprehending the subject in alJ its Oiarinizs .

      Much wih also depend upon the Missionaries being practical men , well acquainted with business , and capable of < -xplai ; , ing the views and objects of the society to the public ; and these must be chosen without any distiuction as to class , sect , or party viows , for the association must be one that will absorb all classes , sects , aed parties , and lead all forward towards the object in view—tbat of releasing all from the great amount of vice , crime , and misery which now so abundantly prevails .

      If the tiiae has arrived when the great bulk of the p- » p : e :. re prepared to think seriously on tbeir cj » dit-. un , ami to provide an effectual remedy for the evils under which tht-y l&bnur , there is no doubt but they uny rea-ji 3 j- ac * 'inpl .. sh the task , and a short time «» ill ' ' -teim . ne whtrher this is the case or not . One thing , however , is certain , that tbe pressure now placed upon ub ib tvery d : \ y getting more severe ; that tbere ia no oth-rr mode of escape than the one proposed , namely , that of ide-Etifr-ng all interests in one , and tbat if proper means bv' adapted toccmVine them , all the elements t < . quired for success exist most abundantly around us on ail sides .

      TO THE CHARTIST PUBLIC . Brave , though BitANDED Brethrfn . —The poverty aud wre ' . hed e « s of our order—the cufferiug , mentally and physicaly , of so many goo < and true members of our Association , bav « 60 iaipusstd my mind with the necessity of the * bjve named society being established as part of ° Qr uiiion to obtain the Charter , tb&t I cannot remain silent thereon whilst I hftve au opportunity t « f addrc-sing y « u , until nil are as fully convinced as myself of its necessity and practicability . It ia with much pl- ; i 8 ure I ta . ko the liberty of informing you that our zealous and laborious Editor , Mr . Hill , iuily agrees in tfeat necessity , and if I understand him right , intends to put forth a plan for your approval , containing all that he deems advisable of my views , wherewith I have furnished him .

      I am happy to perceive by tbe Slar of April 29 , that Mr . &a ) pin has published his adh ^ ion to iny proposition , and I doubt n&t when tbe plan iUt-lf is seat forth most true ifefotmers will give it their willing ussent and aisibtai . ee , acd that the m . j rity of the Working class will adopt it , aud iustruct their delegates to the next Conversion , to etaboay with tbe Dew p \ an oi Organisation , a Nutional Bsntfit Society , the most efficient to their judgments , from tht > various plans that may there and tb : n be presented . Brothers , —There ib eo douht but your attention will

      be much absorbed in the question of purchasing land and locating thereon , but I ruiiit continue to direct your attention to the road thereto , the gjp whereof I spoke in a former letter . Bear in mir ; d tbat that gap is edged with thorns ami briars , tbat the road to the land is paved with trials and troubles . Rvmember , if we are democrats , it is for the whole people , and for the Vt . ry poor especially , that we must form our society , tbat all may avail themselves of the ben « Sts and ail aid according to their Hieaus , in effecting their own emancipation from poverty , premature death , and the cause thereof , cla ^ s-made-laws .

      And here I will give you an idea of how I propose to meet the various circumstances of my poorer-fellows , and still give satisfaction to all , viz ., by a graduated scale of subscriptions , from one penny per week up to sixpence or higher , entitling th « member in case of need to a weekly income , corresponding with bis subscription , or employment at a fair remuneration for the society , which in time could be given , as under tbe bead of appropriation of the funds it is set forth tbat tbe funds shall be applied in the purchase of lands , building bouses , workshops , dec , and in such other operations aa shall be determined on for tbe benefit of the society ; under this c-anse , may

      come the whole plan of our proposed land and business operations upon which I purpose giving my opinion at a fu' . ure time , being desirous of not overburdening your minds , that you may tbe better digest this the one great plan , which I submit to you will compass all tbe ct > y eta that have been presented as necessary to our futurt movemtrDt Let us then bring oar whole souls to tbe work , with » thorough determination to do all tbat in onr power lays to rid our father-land from the sloueh of misery in which class legislation has swamped it , and raise it by our a ? al , energy , and industry to that proud pinnacle of freedom and happiness to which it has never yet attained , and to wbich it nevur can attain without such a union of the sons of toil .

OF EMIGRATION ; AND TO JUDGE OF THE BEST LOCATION . FOR K > GLlsa EMIGRANTS , FROM ACTUAL OBSERVATION . BY LAWRENCE PITKETHLY , of Hudderefield . ( Continued from our last week's paper . ) JOURNAL— DESCRIPTION OF DUNKIRK , SAN 1 > U 3 KY , DETROIT , fee .

      Sunda y , 21 st—I got up early this morning , ami by appointment drove out with Mr . Suencer and hia brother to the Indian settlem-siit , some six or seven miles from BUFFALO . We also dr ., ve round tbe city , and in our course Mr . Spencer hbowtui me son : e houses which had rEB ' . ed upon stone foundations , but irhicb had been washed from their position by the westerly winds unun the luk <> causing the river to overflow its baoks ; some of them were standing with broken backs in tbe aiJjoining meadows and uncultivated fields . I was also shown the great extent of ground which had been marked out for streets . One spot Mt . Spencer showed me which be had purchased for the purpose of building a house upon , for which be had paid 1 , 300 or 1 , 400 dollars , and which be would now gladly sell for 300 ilollars . Such is tho effect of speculation and paper money .

      We saw numbers of persons on their way to a camp meeting , which was to be ho ! den some twelve miles distant from the city . We afterwards crossed some fields ia which cattle were gr : z ' ng ; they were ? he roughest of any over which I ever remember a vehie'e being driven . On a height eastward of tbe town , and near tbe barracks , whieb . ^ e visited , the view was most charming . Tho morning being clear and firm , ailded greatly to tbe spUrn ' oni of the scene . Siru ^ r .-as it may appear , the city txttiws over a large plain , covering a large ppace , wnicb is frequently overflowed with water , and where the bousps which are built 01 ? wood , are not unf . vquautly sfen to fliat , whiie a Iar # e extent of beautiful rising sl ^ pi s upon toe banks of the river aro left who ! ly nnoecunim ? .

      At Rochester , during the speculation mania land was sold at a bnnditd dollars which would not now sell for more than twenty ; tbe same is the case here . At dinner , we had Mr . Kelsey , clerk to the Cbeaapeake st < amei . which trndos TeguVaxly to Chicago . He had arriv « d from that place In the morning . He had arrived from that place in tbe morning . He gave me much useful information . In the evening we were joined by Mr . Maolivy , ( Irish ) , wholesale grocer , Mr . Smith , ( Scotch ) , painter ; Mr . Burdett , ( Yankee ) , teacher of music , and several others , who spent the evening with us . Mr . Kwlsey ba < l brought some fine fruit and watermelons , which wo had for supper ; they were the first I bad eaU'n ; and were brought l-y him from Cleveland , in Ohio .

      Mr . K « s !« ey i . formed mo lhat a firpat number of tbeir summer passengers xrere from the Southern States who cyme to the Lakes for pleasure ; the he . it being so excessive tbat tbey find it advantageous to health * o comh here at this sea » 0 B . He was bind enough to sny tbat he would take my trunk to Chicago a distance ot 1047 miles , as I had to travel through the State of Michigan , which would render it very inconvenient to take it along with me . This morning went on board tho Sindusky steamer for Detroit ; the morning -wns vt . y fine and at ! around wore a most pleasing aspect . Tue Kent , a British steamer of inferior sizo and fcuilrt . I-eft the port before ns and proceeded towards tlj <; Canadian shore . We were direetly off Fort Erie . TJit governor of the State of Nfiw YORK was on ho . ird the Kvnt , on a visit Ut Dr . Betty , the father of the famous Young R scius , who is now located on the verge of the . bake , in Canada , in the vcjldernesa

      Keeping to the left , before we got to Dunkirk , a distance of thirty miles , we lost uitrbt of the Canadian abore . Dunkirk is a btobH but hancisome village , with Vwo lighthouses and a lainhna-k . It verges upon a small bay ; tbe shore fiat . ind sandy , except where a little rock jutted out The woods wire partii ' . liy cleaved , and tt . e wooden huts were thinly spreaii sonii few in small clusters , occupied by ( ndionsor fishermen , or pi-rbaps both . - Tne Iaudsc » pe gently oesceiuiing to the water ' s et ' ge , presented something like a splendid deer-park on an extensive sa ; le .

      Tuesday . 23 rd . —Ehie , in Pennsylvania , ie a connidurable village , but of very little ijupor > . ar . ee . As at DiiNKiB-K , tbe breakwater is in course of repair . Opposite this place is a considerable lel . uid , into which we entered through a narrow passaga t tho breakwater , which stretched into the said island , aud having to return in a sou . ewhat similar direction , it caused us to be much out of our course . We landed at another small place during the night , culled Comant , and at Astabula , near Cleveland , about hiilf-past three ,

      where we bad to take in coal . I weut into the town , part of wbich is built on the verg « of the river , part upon tho bank . 8 nd part upon tLe biimmit , wbere it is ntsriy level , but cmib dtrably d < -vated . Upon tho opposite bank of tho river s ; and « Ohio city , which is only a small place , but with some neat an < i shoviy buildings ; between this is tbe entrarce to th ^ Ohio and Erie canal , which forms a water com ::. u icatiou through the whole state of Ohio , i . nd hicb c ; i'ose& a cotisidttabie trade to be carried on here , and also gives it additional importance .

      Wo next landed at Grand Rivp . r . Here I saw a person who had sold a iarm at iLis pUce and purchased anothwr gome twelve miles from Chicago , Illinois . He iuforiued me that a new law was passed wbich enabled a man to k « ep in defiance of his creditors , tea acres of laud , two bovses ( or oxen ) a waggon , two cows , ten hheep , flre bogs , farming utensil * , a bed for every two of tbe f ; iroily , tsventy-flvo dollars in cash , with five month ' s provisions , and sufficient bedding aud clothing . I next s : iw Mr . J . Brackwn , from North Adams , ~ ho had been working a printing machine there at

      fourteen dollars a week . His engagement was for a year ; But some Englishmen came to the place and offered to do the work for half that sum . His employers therefore wished him to take ten dollars , Btat ing tbat they could not reduce the others unless , he was reduced alung with them . He tohi them they might do as tbey thought proper with the others , but he should tike no less ; and ta order to come at their point they agreed to give him 100 dollars and hla rent to leave . This is one of tbe greatest curses of Emigration . This good man was previously prepared with 160 acres of land which he bad purchased in Michigan , and was on his way to take possession of and cultivate it

      Wednesday , 24 th . —There are many islands on the south of this Lake of large extent , but little cleared ; tlere aro a few farms , but they are not in good condition . Id the course of tbe forenoon we passed Huron , a pretty little place , with a pier aud lighthouse . Much wheat is bought here , principally by agents , for Canada ; much of it is exported to England as of Canadian growth . We next got to Sandusky City , with its aix inhabited islands . On the deck of tbe vessel I here met Judge E . Lane . He bad tbe appearance of an English farmer , in person and dress . He bad just come to reside in this small place , in the neighbourhood of which he h ; vs much property .

      Wheat was seventy-rlve cents per bushel yesterday ; to-day it is seventy-three cents , and it is expected to be seventy cents to-morrow . This place contains about 2 , 000 inhabitants . There is a ratber enrions entrance by a narrow pass , near which stands a lighthouse to show tbo way to Cedar Pond . We passed Marblehead lighthouse which stands npon a rock of that material en a large island . We next passed CunBingham Islands on our right , and approached Pudding Bay islands , wbich appeared covered with wood ; but I learned that several good farms were upon them . I bad here pointed out to me the island on which tbe Patriots < lefe * ted a strong British force much tbeir superior in poin . wf numbers and military equipments .

      We soon came in sight of tbe Canadian shore , and entered the river , or rapids of St . Clair . The shore is flat and sandy . The slopes ure beautiful , an 4 , with the woods , preseni a rich appearance . Oa the Ohio side we passed a small port . About twelve miles farther , on an island , about 5 < M > yards from the British Bhore , stands a lighthouse , nearly opposite which is Fort MalJon . The island belongs to the British , and the Fort is ocupitd by a riflj corpB . The Barracks form three sideb of a square , with two bieiatworks which are out of repsir . Tbe village of Maldon contains about 1 50 * inhabitants . Lime-burning was carried on a little higher op .

Where the river S > wb in one body , it seems to be about three quarters of a mile in width . Detroit has a floe appearance from the river . It is tbe capital of the State of Michigan . Toe main street run * parallel with the river , and the rest of the streets run from the water ' s edge up a gently inclined plane . The main street is spacious , and well built , containing elerant and well-filled stores . Tbe population numbers about 15 , 300 , and considerable business is carried on . Many splendid steam-vt-ssula ! ay in the river , and a crowd of craft of all bizis and descriptions . A number of tbe passengers uau agreed to stay at tho Steam-boat Hotel , from which a carriage anil pair of beautiful grejs awaited tur iaadinc , also a waggo" to convey our luggage .

Indeed there are no beggars here ; you pay tue fate , and no oue further molests you .

      At the railway station I paid my fare for Chicago iu Illinois ; part by rail and much by stage , and f-xty miles crossing the Lake Michigan by steam boat , lcis I did on condition mat I should stay when and wh « i 6 I pleased ou the way .

      We travelled on this single line railway at the ra e of fifteen miles ; in hour , taking care to stop oft eningb for refreshment , with which I was greatly aunc . yeu ; but the generality of the p . sssngers seemed to vie witb each oilier in gorsiiiiniUsin . j ; it every balf .

The rails are bad and uneven ; there arts no ftcces , and the pace bad frequently to be slackened in consequence of tbe cattle feeding upon the line , which if we had run foul of , would have upsot us . P gs were more ptentifv . 1 hi cot way than we desired . I observed a field of fiax ; ttu first I had swn Biiice I landed .

      YP . sir . ANTf is thirty miks from Detroit , containing a population , of . 2 , GOO . Th © bouses axe prini-ip \ il ! y painted white and pioaamtJy scattered over the green lieWs . A person name' : L ; . zslier is erecting a woollen factory at this placa . There are seven buildings going forward and feveval pu lie wnvks . I had not time to obtain particulars , but the appearance bespeaka euergy , tuste and capital . Two sta ^ e coaches awaited out arrival but 1 did not learn their destination , A creek supplies water power to the machinery . 1 observed sheep tracks , and persons engaged in ro' . l-

      ing the land on the edge of the Cteek , along which we travelled for some miks . We had a perfect straight line of railway , with very little cutting , from Dbtroit to Yfsilanti ; now it was circuitous with rawy cuttings ; enlLiiy Bia ^ el with Vvsry thin soil . Much of the woorf waa cut down , yet much umierwosd remained . A few miles front YfsilaNTI a large mill was iu coursw of erection Which , was roofed , but bad not the windows in . The landf seemed < lryer au < l better cultivated « a vs proceeded ; tLere were nmay beautiful farms , aad expensive brick-works where oxen were emi > lc > ed in mixing the sand anil clay .

      Ann Arbor issix miles from Ypsilanti ; popu ' iition 1 , 000 . Tbe Creek runs through ttiis placo , the banks of w ' rich are be . iutiful . Thtre is sonia low marRhy l : < rit \ n , n >\ a few town-like buildings . Some iron is nlso inauuf « ictvire < l here . SCIO is a small place with fliur ant ' , saw mills ; population 200 . Seme little Hioruss . Dexter haj a population of from 3 to 400 . The bunks here aasimulatu to the old country . I observed a sniull prairie , and saw rooks , the siime as we have in England . LEON 1 is r . very email but neat place , with very fine high rolling land in the neighbourhood ; there : vie also some clearings .

      Jackson has a population of 400 . It has a large State prison . Hue the railway terminates . I mt ^ e a short stay , then mounted a stage couch , taking my sout by tho side of tho driver . The day w&s very b' t , aurt when we started the road was very steep , with dry send ; and as we proceeded up a hill we were all feut stopped , particularly on tbe summit , by the immense quantity of dust . We th < n descended a precipice at a most alurniing speed . The roul was generally of thfa description iu this neighbourhood , without form , but fry no m « ans void of stumps of trees . Brushwood yery often touched the traces ; while large blocks of stone ;> nd hills of earth bound together by roots were frequently met with . Tho ruts for the wheels were uneven and rieep , while the trail for the horses was a most unseemly aff : tr .

      The full excellences of this road , however , we nM not discover until we c ^ me to tbo Corduroy Bridges , which often occur , when a creek , a river , or a matsh has to be crossed . They are formed by driviDg large trunks of trees into the ground at stated places , on the top of which they affix other large trees , transversely ; and on these are rolled other trunks of trees to form tbe roaU . No regard Is paid to the relative size of these tr < - ^ s ; here you have one some eighteen inches Indiana .- ' or ., and the next some nine or twelve , and this too without a hatchet being put to them to flatten them . This sort of way we sometimes had for hundreds of yards together Tbe unevenness , the jolting , and the slipping of the horses' feet from w&nt of secure footing caused me involuntarily to nay that no better means could possibly have been devised to stake soul and body asunder .

      At short stages , the horses and cabmen were changed . Some of the drivers I found , to a certain degree conversible ; but all were very guarded , short , and dry in their expressions . Ail agreed tbat the rocuip were now at the very best ; and tbat they would be infinitely Worse in the autumn , when people bein ^ afraid of travelling by tbe lakes , beoause of tbe storms , would crowd tbe stages . We passed through a very fine country , with some wet prairie * In three hours we travelled from Jamestown to Smithpield , being sometimes in the bush , tUen ruuningfoul of trees—for we passed through forests in our tr-ck—next a bridge , then an hill , and last a precipice , en desctndii . g ¦ which with break-neck speed , we sunk in a pool of stagnant water , the vehicle tottering most alarming , and every moment in danger of being overturned .

      Albion has a population of 300 . A large Mcthodtst Sominary is building here , and there ia alsoa fl ur zuill and' a few stores . The mill stands on u , « river KalamaZOO , which we crosssd by a large wooden bridge , not of the corduroy kinfl . but covered with planks instead of round stumps of trees . The banks oi the river are very picturesque . The country is formed of fine sloping banks with rolling prairies and oak openings . The buildings in the village are neat and clean . Six mites from Albion is the small village of Maulage . It rfoes not contain more than twenty houses , yet there are some fine flour mills . We changed horses here , at Manyard's Inn .

      We next arrived at Marshall—Michigan centre . The population amounts to about one tbouemd five hundred . It has some good stores . The Marshall houst < is a spacious hotel . There is likewise a hnniisotue Court-house , a few good looking villas , and many wtul-builtdpelling houses . It is expected that this place wilnwfon be constituted the capital of the Siate , being the centre , and , of course , the roost convenient and proper . Near the place la a good free-ston « quarry , and a mill with machinery for clotn-dressing and wool-carding is about being put in operation . There art a \ ao in th « place » linseed-mill , two sawmills , and two flour mills , ail worked by water power ;

      and they are dicing for the erection of others . Tbe railway from Detroit is to pass here , and is expected to be completed , so far , in about a year . Ti . e coach stopped at the Marshall-house , and on alighting I immediately made inquiry for a conveyance to Chester . While doing so I met with two Scotchmen , who went and found u ilnrd One cf them knew me as a Cuartist at Glasgow . His name is E&enezar Anderson , by trude a mason . He told me he had been enly two months in the place ; tbat his wages were two dollars per day ; that he had got a quarter of an acre plot in tue towa , aud that in a fortnight he viould bave a new house upon it He also told me he had been offered fifty acres of land for a verge watch .

      Another of tbe Scotchmen was a person named Jonas Walfcenahaw . He was from Loobgelly , in Fifesbire ; be had a wife and four children , and worked on tbe railway . He liked the country , bnfc would advise no on # to go . He bad got money , and was purchasing scrip of the Irish labourers , who , like himself , received it for wages , and then sold it at half price for whisky . This is the same sort of scrip M the scrip I meutionfed when speaking of DEtaorr . It is to be taken up ¦ with the first proceeds of the railway when finished ; cent So thai here

      and it bears 7 ^ per interest was a source of making money by buying money at halfprice , and realizing 7 | per cent until it ia taken up . It is rather remarkable that this man had been iu the employ of Dr . Smyies , at Dalkeitb , and he was much surprised ou reading the letter he ( Dr . S > had addressed to me . He informed me that he had purchased aa good a cow for thirteen dollars , as be cad given ten guineas for in Scotland . He also stated that he went from Gfc'ore-bridge along with his father to reside in Fifeshire .

      My third countryman was Cbarl ? B Camevon , from Banff , also a mason ; he had been fiva years bere , and I was told , had in that time saved 12 , 000 dollars ; ne has got plots of land iu payment of wages , and hud built upou them , and had . tatn . sold both building b an ' - I ' -lytB Hs HOW p S < -J 3 iB tWtnty-diX , ' . !¦? - «•; rt' -. l the ii'ou , d wl !' . ; re tho i . til r . \ is to t nnii .. ¦ . *¦ . 0 . < 'i property .

Of course , I related my adventure , and aftar uescribin - try difficulties in the dearest manner posbible , the oid man coolly and dryly ohservad . " Wfaec people travel bsre they take their hatuhet with thfam . "

      I was soon on my way agalD , and had not gone above 200 yards before I once more found myself in the bush , I made another et uegle , and nfter along darkness I had another peep at tbe sky . I next saw a man engaged in chopping off the b ^ npTis 'jf a tree whicii lay upon the ground . A a soon as he lilted up his ejes , hw raised himself frota bis position , and in bii extacy of joy called out my i . ame , and came and ernbrLced me . He was from Huddersfltld . ani had not saen any oue from that place , nor from England , since his arrival , except tLo * e vs . th whom be resided . H « soon toot me to Mr . Crowtfcer . My horso was takcu care of , aud I wuo at home for the nkht

      I hud ; uways been given to understand tbat much hospitality prevailed in lh > j wildernesses of Aruerica ; but at the saw mill , above mentioned , I waa chirkedthough it was on ! y a private house—six times the amount of what 1 and my horse consumed . This was by old Dry-sides , who toli me " I shonld have had my h » tchet with me . " At this mill I mot a gentleman who bad Io 3 t Lia horse—it having strayed ; und he was kind enough to inform me that in my way I must ta ! : e a side cuui . je , through qn jncloaure , or I shonld be tost ; and so I should have been had I not attended to his directions . The saw mill is called Veraontise .

      Tbe prjetic ? bere is to take a thrashing machine into the middle of a wheat field , and there thrash « nd winnow , and after carrying away the wheat , leave the straw aud chaff la au inegular heap . I h % ve frequently seen men thrashing in the open air ou a sort of wooden platform , laid down for the purpose . Oa being introduced to Mr . Crowther , he manifested much astonishment at seeing me there . He took me round his laud , at least , so far as my lamene-a would allow rue to go ; part of it was cleared , and part c 'vared witfi close and heavy tiniber . He told me that since he had last come from EngJaad fie had txc ' Kungtd fa-TD 8 with his brother-iu-Juw , and that the one for which lie had exchanged being well cleared , he thought he could dispose of it for ca . b 3 of wbich he a ' rnnri much in need .

      Crowther r esided in a log hut , which had been left by bis brother . The ons in wbich he bai previously resided was occupied as a weaving shop by J ^ mes Bailey , and a person of the name of Wood , from Siaithwait »» . Yorkshire . Tbey also resided in it , and it waa truly a crav . imed-up affair altogether . There wss also ;\ cov » -kou ? e , which was much tod open for a winter cohering . He has aiso a pafr of oxen , a few cows , a swarm of pi >< 8 , and some poultry . His wheat has this year been destroyed by smut ; his Indian corn , however , ia of a mMdlir .- f ? quality . The laud , w / rcii w . ts partially cleared of stnmpa , is of a rather Jvfat sandy soil ; not , in my opinion , calculated to yiv d a very heavy crop of anything , except timber . I may be mistaken , but appearances corroborate tbe opinion I have formed .

      A fine , though small , stieam of wafer runs through part of the pr ' pcrty , wbich would be rendered valueaMe in p ^ pulling machinery , of which Cro ^ trwr is very anxious to possess himself , being a sirous to embark is nifl'iu ^ ictuiing , from which , I believe , he might derive uiucli profit The place ini ^ iit ouon be converted iuto a very comfortable and happy spot On finding mjseif amongst those to whom I was known , I fcit quite at home . Bailey aad Wood were weaving vestiugs , and Bottomley was the person whom I found chopping the tree . Mrs . Ciowtber soon prepared supper which eoDsisted of butcher ' s meat , butter , cheese , eges , fruit pies , bread , biscuits , potatoes , tea and cold water . After the repast ihey tolu me they would have a pi ? killed for me on . tbe folU . * ing day . I . said as I must leave in tbe moreiugit w ^ uld bo of no use . ( To be continued . )

      HARMON F HALL . LETTER IX . TO THE EDITOB . OF THE SORTHEIVN STAR . Sir , —In my former letters , I have pointed out that the txigencies of the times nuT Tiqnre vigorous 3 nd decided esrnion on the part of the people fcr a u ^ iversal or-j-ct ; aaiDtly to " secure the happiness of trv « 7 iii .-Iivi-vj ' . ! , by affjrii .. ^ to all a Sv > un < 1 practical e-. lucv tior . a . c < i pennane t bmv-Se : al employment . 1 h ^ ve sh-wn that by lu- ^ ns of tliis ex » rtion , wellcoiubinrd and -wii > fcly dir . c ' . c-d , the pearls havs now the poxer of spetdily foliow-n- thv advice given them somelime since bj S : r RjDert Petl ;—that they shou ' . d luxe their affairs into their own hands ; and that if they dp bo . in a proper manner , that each individual wiil best promote his own happiness , by aiding to secure at the same time , the happiness of all classes , ranks , sects , and parties .

      I have . given the outline of an association , whereby a universal sjciety may be formed on principles capable of giving satisfaction to ali ; and I have explained some of ite preliminary steps -which such a society should take . I have now to continue this division of my subject , by making srm- rc- ^ s-ks on the flection of a President to tb . « Svcit ' . y , aid < f rhekica of manifesto or Charter tnfit eliO Ui-i bt put forth .

"

      From these remarks it will be readily seen that I consider Sir . Owen the most fitting ^ tson for the office cf Presia ' Btof the society , and that as such , I should be prepared to invrst him with every authority necessary for the extreme of that office . As Mr . Owtn has howtver been \ vng > efore the public as a practical it former , a :.-d bas tee :, engaged in ecVcie ! experimetts that have >"< etn deriiitu by the Wirld to bi- tiilures , the question may here be fairly put to me , wh tbtr my cccfldence in ^ ir . O ^ en is unbounded ; the more tspeciali ? as it is wel ; known that we bars teea ii » nch engaged toi&thcr in c ,, z ducting the affairs of the social body . To this 1 would reply tbat exi , < -rierce has taught me that n-j rr . m is yet truly ntion-l on etfry evsbject ; nor should that unlimited cot fi itrce be p : aced in any one ,

      that shoald prostrate tee intellect of others to his opinions alone ; more especially in matters of practical detail , for unless the c&nvictiyns proceed along with sclion , no traiy efficient service can be rendered ; but I ksi > w no individual whose general experience in practical i . etJl equals Mr . Owens ; and , is it regards princip ; fes , 1- bslicve all who read this , and know Mr . Owen , w ; ii cordially agree that he stands alone in the geneiai k ^ o ^ ledge he possesses of ths sciences of hsmaii mture and of society . There are , however , two points in Mr . Owen ' s indiv id ual orga > r 2 itiou , to which 1 would diaw the especial attention of those

      who would be cilled upon to place him in such an offiie as the one to which 1 r = fer , Md respecting which 1 wuuld obtain the best guarantees in my piwer to procure ; for my txperitcce haa le < i me to btlieve tint iTecautions are neeessary , and 1 should : cfl-ct little credii on Mr Owen , u the teacher of such principles as he lays down , which I consider it my higbtst privt . ' ege to be a disciple of ; nor should I am sure give bim - -DJ persona ! gratification , if I hesitated whenever ana whenever it may be required , to declare my convictions for the purpose of advancing those principles in the most rapid Biatner—the two points to which I refer are nuance , and the selection of individual

      cha-. I approach the sulgect of reviewing Mr . Owen ' s career in any language beside wtat the world would call that of praise , -with great timidity ; although those * Q ? are truly acquainted with tho principles on which the science of human nature is based , wili well know , the id « a of pniisc or blame cannot arise with me whilst I write ; knowing , as I do , that every action of every bnfiian beir ^ is necessitated , and knowing also tbat it is more iikeiy 1 stould judge erroneously than tbat Mrt Owen should act so ; but the cause 1 advocate is that of general humanity , and the emergeccy of tbe crisis prevents rue confining mytelf to any personal consideration whatever , and 1 am compelled , in the public duty I have undertaken , to declare what I beli « ve to be the truth , and the whole truth , when it become ^ necessary for buch high purposes as redeeming and pi&serving my fellowmen .

      . Mr . Owen's arrangements for reconstructing society do not include a pound , shilling , and pecce finance , nor should he ever be mixed up with one , for he does not lik- ? it ; and , as it regards individual ctaracter , he 10 readily believes every one actuated by the same feelings aa himself , that he appears to have little idea that he is ever addressed for a personal or sinister purpose . These matter * may , however , be easily arranged : an-, as the affairs of the society become of sufficient maguitude to engage Mr . Owen's attention , his mind sicae will be enabled to grapple with them . A . stronger ptoaf of Mr . Owen ' s knowledge of the wants of the people cannot be given than is shown by a document which he baa lately put forth , as ihe Preliminary Charter of the Rational System , and which it would be extremely difficult to amend , as the manifesto of the new aociety . The following are the poinu of this Charter : —

      1—National productive employment for all who desir * it 2—National untxchMfre superior practical education for all wbo require ifcSJp 3—A gratJoaied property tax , commencing with properties yielding an income of not leas than two hundred poo&ds a > eur . 4—The abolition of all existing taxes and jnonopo ) ia » . 6 * Fre * trade in all things with all the world . 6—Free igress and vegress to ali natives and foreigners except to fots in hostility . 7—Unrestricted liberty of speech , writing , and pnblicatioa . 8—T&e abandonment of tbe three fundamental errors , hitherto Uught to the human race from birth : i That man forms his own character ;

      2—Tbat he can believe or disbelieve at pleasure ; 3—That be his the power to like or dislike at pleasure . 8—The adoption of the three opposed fundamental truths ; 1—That man d *> es not form his own character j 2—Tbat he cannot btlieve or disbelieve at

      pleasure ; 3—That be cannot lite or dislike , love or hate in obedience to his wishes . 10—Tbe abandonment of the practice of creating anything inferior , when it may be made superior . 11 Tjie abandonment el foreign and all artificial-made money , and to the adoption of national-made meney to represent the exact value of exchangeable wealth . 12—Tbe exchangeable value of all wealth to be decided by properly qualiaed officers , appointed by the cation , who will have no private interest to bias their judgment .

      Tni * document contains matters of the most vital irapcrt&nce , all easily attainable at the present mement , because when carefully considered each separate proposition win be beneficial to every individual in the nation and may be easily sLewn to be so . The only burthen imposed by it is that contained in the third point , namely , » graduated property tax ; but as this is to commence onjy with those who have an income exceeding two hundred pounds a year , and will be accompanied by tbe remission of all existing taxes , even these persons will toon percfcive that tbeir individual interest and security will be preserved by this tax being Mid , aid tbey wilL when the pressure comes , readily yiad a portion te preserve the remainder . It will also be apparent that Justice demands tbat taxation shonld be placed on what is called accumn ated property , as it is this a ! one that it a uires protection .

      This Charter is , however , far too important to be discussed in this letter , b » t will require many to point out anything at all approaching to the results to be obtaiDed ; bat Mr . Owen states it most still be kept dis f . nct from tbe object * for which it is destined to prepare tbe way , which are to terminate , — lit . Putertv , or tbe most distant fear of it , for ever . 2 nd . All division of mind between individuals and nations . 3 rd- AU wars , civil , religious , and national . tin .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Bkothek Chartists , —We the members of the General Council of the National Charter Association resident in tbe Metropolis , taking into consideration the propriety of immediate steps being taken for reorganizing the Chartist body , do hereby urge upon you the necessity of sending delegates to a conference to be held on Tuesday , May 2 Srd , at the Political and Scientific Institution , 1 , Turn-again-lane , London . We have adopted this plan for the following

      reasons : — First—Because It is necessary that a conference should be held to ensure unanimity of feeling , and also that some known body should call it into existence . Second—Because many good men who probably « njoy the confidence of their previous constituents will remain in London , and othere will arrive at the time appointed , in order to receive their sentence from tbe Court of Queen ' s Beech . Taking advantage of this circumstance will save much expense ; and if these men are deprived of their liberty there will be consolation in feeling that their last act has been devoted to the strengthening and fSiablishini ? the Chartist movement . Preasing upon you the nbceasity of immediate steps being taken , and desiring your opinion through the medium of the ensuing wttks Northern Star , We remain , yours , Thomas Mills , Chairman . Wm . Salmon , Secretary . P . S . Districts not in a condition to send delegates c * n send written instructions , directed to the care of Thomas M . Whteler , 243 | , Ttmple Bar , London .
