fegetf of the parties for the discharge of the duties } o be imposed . It will be great day for England and for Leeds jjjen the day of trial shall eome . For oar man we mlertvn sot the slightest apprehensioE . They will jjjnmph ; because reason , knowledge , and eonanon issse are opon their ride . Is every oth « r town in xwimd as well prepared for the coming struggle as ye are ! If not ,-let ftea up and be doing . j {» j , we are proud to find , are so . Rochdale is j ] alire , and Duwtohd is all right .
The brave little band of patriots at Hall will do k eii dutj aobly . We have now bo fear that TsoiffsoJf will be sent to stop the power for era of jjje sosej Member . Let them bat be guarded 55 > e only difficHlty in all coalitions with Whig jjrils is to watch them with sufficient closeness . fbej are slippery as eels , and poisonous as rattlejajiee . It is a hazardous experiment to tonch jjjjB , even , with a long pole . However , let the Hall Qmtiste look out at the polling day . Let jj ^ n be in no hurry to rote ; but 1 st them watch $ e WMgs—let them constantly inspect th « poll clerk ' s books , and see that every Yellow snake splits fairly ; and , if any signs ippesr of a disposition to shirk the Colonel — fej libem keep back in a body till the last—and
lejre the Kilkenny cat 3 to fight out the " spree" till flu ? see which is the strongest ; if the Tories can be » 5 their opponents without help , let them do bo ; if not , go at onoe ia a sufficient bod y jost to turn { he scale , and so leave them . Bradford has , we perceive , another Chartist candidate in the field , Mr . Sntpsos , whose manly address we publish elsewhere . The Chartists here are in high glee , and feel sore of winning .
One piece of information , from our London correspondent , we are unails rightly to comprehend . He tdl 5 us , speaking of the Tower Hamlets movejoents , that Mr . Thohpsok , the Bon of Colonel THOitreoK , is supported by the working Chartists , tat not backed by any of the leaders . We trust ecu correspondent has been misinformed . We cannot suppose that the leading Chartists of London aa see in the field au opponent of the Whig
nomisee , on Chartist principles , declaring for the whole Garter and something more , without rendering all the aid they can . At all events w tbe lads" are right . If the leaders hang back , this is the time to show them that they are an unnecessary clog upon the wheel of liberty , which can very well turn round without them . HaTe at the WhigB , at all events , f ood London Chartists . ' Down with " the bloody Wiies »"
What is the City about . We hope the new Election Committee will take care to stir up ** Johsxt' ' isd the four tories " with a long pole . " In Leicester two ChartiBt candidates are to be brought forward to contest the Northern Division of the County . Canvassers are appointed to visit the districts and beat up for funds—the sinews of thi 3 glorious war—to report to the County Delegate Meeting on Sunday week . They must have a cheering account to render . Let the struggle be made at cnce , and cheerfully . Now or never is the time for action—the downfall of Whiggery will be the first stone in the foundation of the sacred temple of liberty , in which our children and our children ' s eiUdren shall worship the God of their fathers .
Upon the whole , " the land lies well" and the prospect is most cheering . The people art bestirring them right nobly . They are doing their work weH They have * taken their affairs into their ewn hands'' and prosperity shall follow . England shall no longer to be a slave-land . Englishmen SHALL 50 T lo . ngeb be slaves . ' They have willed their freedom ; they have proved their title to it ; they have proved themselves worthy » f it , and freedom they itcst asd shall have ! Death or Liberty . ' Ko Surrender ! Onward ! we conquer ; backward we will not go !

Ma Abraham D&hcak hat sent vs a letter addressed to the EdUorqfthe Stirling observer , in reply to en attack made ¦ upon him m that paper . It teems the Editor of the Stirling Observer Aa * denounced Mr . Duncan as a person " destitute of the plainest principles of political economy . " Mr . D . challenges the Editor to discuss with him any question of political economy before a public meeting of the inhabitants of Stirling , or of any other town in ihe country . Being challenged £ / the Editor of the Observer to ** try his hand * either in Stirling or Falkirk . Mr . D . states himself to be ready , at a moment ' s notice , to discuss Chartism , or Com Law repeal , in either of those towns whenever he may be invited there by and
uorkwtg men ; he offers a like challenge to any or all of the leeturert in the pay of the anti-Corn Law league , pledging himself to procure for them a large meeting and en attentive audience , and to refute all their clap-trap sophistry . A CoNSTAirr RkaDKR gives pood advice to the working classes of Great Britain and Ireland ; but which , we apprehend , would be better understood and appreciated m the columns of the Methodist Magazine than in those of the Northern Star . " National Thakksgivikg Hykn . "— We can neither read it nor sing it . "Ode to Libestt . "— We have no room . C . J . C . will gel it at Mr . J . deave ' s , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet street . ' '
Jobs Htjllhollaxd . —We have no room . A Losdox Democeat is quite wrong if he supposes that we have either forgot or underrate the exertions of Mr . Harney . " The Patriot ' s Call" cannot be heard in our columns . Richard Elus writes to complain that , at a public meeting of the inhabitants of Cambden , ho'den in the Infant School Room , at that place , and called by the sound of bell , after a temperance meeting , on Thursday last , the Vicar being in the chair , and expatiating in favour of what is called the moderation principle , to the disparagement oj teelotalU-m , Mr . Ellis hissed , when the Rev . Vicar immediately ordered him to be turned out of the room , which he prevented from being done
in / making himself scarce . Oca iiAKCHESTKx Correspondent compfoini that when his long reports of lectures , < % c , are cut down to a paragraph he gets into ' * hot water " about the matter . Now , for the satisfaction of all who may be concerned in it , ice biff to state , once for all , that the chief fault we have had occasion tefind with our excellent correspondent has been that his reports are almost always too lengthy . They are nearly always greatly compressed after we receive them . And if the parties who complain would come and sit at out desk for a meek or two , they would find out the adsolute * necessity for this . There is nothing our friends seem so pertinaciously determined to forget as thai we have but one Northern Star for all England , Ireland , and S&otland .
"Thb Day of Retkibctiox" must tarry awhile . D . M ' M . — We see nothing wonderful in the matter : it may very likely have been a letter from the General-Post-office , in reply to some enquiry forwarded from Ihe party previous to his leaving Edinburgh . " If D . APM . be very curious about it , the better way would be to make his enquiry ef the person named in his letter . A Constant Reader , at Dundee . — We are unable to answer either of his questions : we hare no other information on the subject than that which he himself has seen in the Star . Mb .. Wm . Martik wishes us to say that all communications for him must , for the present , be addressed to ihe care of Mr . James Ibbetson , bookseller , Bradford , Yorkshire . R .

A Chichesteb Chartist . —Thanks for his information : it may be useful , though we do not think its insertion would be prudent . Executive . —Mr . Campbell , the secretary , wants the addresses of the Chartists in Hull , Keighley , Dalston , Heckrnondwike , Colne , Blackburn , Sunderland , Nantwich , Leeds , Dewsbury , Chester , Chesterfield , Congleton , Walsall , end all other places that have not already forwarded him
them . Mr . Campbell s address is 18 , Adder leystreet , Shaw ' s Brow , Manchester . Wjl Russell . — We had "prudential" reasons f « r the non-insertion of his previous communication ; but those reasons had nothing to do with the M Post-office order" to which he refers . " Oxs vbo wocij ) bs tres . " —We thank him for the expression of his good opinion , and hope always to deserve it . The demands upon our space at this electioneering time preclude the possibility of our inserting correspondence . S . Biggs — We have no room . Wm . Skirrow should have come with his letter to tell , us what it means . PfilEB M'Bropht , of No . 4 , Wormwood-gate , Dublin , wishes to have the address of the Secretary of the Newry Charter Association .
Addresses to the People on their Dutt at the ELEcnojfS . — He have received scores ef documents of this character from individuals and from various local councils , all tending to ihow the deep anxiety fell by the people , and their interest in the great ' national game about to be played off before them . Mast of them are of respectable composition ; and they all breathe one spirit of annihilation to the "' bloodies" —no matter by what means-. Homo , a middle-class man , but a Chartist , who writes from an agricultural village in Somersetshire , gives a sad picture of the ignorance and serfdom of the pe « ple in that neighbourhood , and strongly recommends to the Executive the sending of
Chartiit missionaries in ' o the agricultural districts , to rouse the population of the villages and small market-towns , especially of West Somerset , which seems to hare been entirely neglected . The people , he says , are smarting under a sense of their wrongs , but are ill informed as to thiir origin . They need only a political teacher to raise amongst them a host of thorough-bred Chartists , going "the whole hog , bristles and all . " R . Carrlthers , Netccaslle . —The paragraph he has sent us-would be charged to us as an advertisement , and can only be inserted as such . Tjverton , Devon . —Ihe notice of a netting on June
1 th , arriving at the Star office on June 16 / A , is rather too late . Portsmouth . —The report of Dr . WDouall ' s meeting en the 1 th of June we received on the ] 6 th . We ouqht te have hod it on the 9 ih , and then it would have been inserted . Middle-borough . —The meeting of the Police Commissioners ; 9 n Monday the 1 th , ought to have been sent to us on Tuesday , the 8 th ; it would then have been inserted . The Trowbridge Chartists , having heard that Dr . M'Douali is in the West , whh him to visit them , as weU as the Chartists at Bradford , Westbury , and Devizes : they are all anxitus to hear him .

XJEEDS . — Look before rov Lsjlp ! oa , thb Liberauitx op the " Liberals . "—A capital hit at the " Bloodies , " b Hick , the Chartist poet ; bat yet no poetry . All sound , sober , prosy sense , well worth reading , and onght to be read by every body . It is sold for a halfpenny , and will be kept in type for a week or two at our office , to supply the country . Ancient Romans . —On Monday , this steadily progressing body opened a senate at the hoosa of Mr . Fleming , the Yorkshire Hussar Inn , York-street , when * nmmber of respectable individuals were initiated , who , with the general officers of the society , spent the evening in the utmost conviviality . The name adopted by the new Benate is " Constantino the Great . "
Iatal Accident . —On Saturday last , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of John Dixon , of Oulton . The deceased was a whitiHg miller , employed at the imt Mills , near this town , and on Friday morning week , previous to commencing his work , wasengaged iu oiling some part of the machinery connected with a stamper . For this purpose he had a ladder to enable him to reach the more elevated parts ; and whilst Btanding on the ladder , it would seem that it had slightly slipped , which threw him from his position , and his hand was caught between two cog wheels . The whole of his fingers on one hand were broken , and the hand itself much shattered . He waB taken at once to the Leeds Infirmary , where for some days he appeared to be recovering ; severe inflammation , however , supervened , and he died on Friday , from the effects of hia icjuries . Verdiot" Accidental death . "
A Brute . —On Monday last , a fellow named John Marvell , a cloth-dresser , residing in Springstreet , Bank , was brought before Messrs . Musgrave and Nell , at the Court House , charged with a brutal assault , on his own son , an interesting lookiDg lad about nine years of age . The prisoner went home ou Saturday night , between seven and eight o ' clock , in a state of intoxication , and as soon as he entered the house , he took a plate containing some provisions which had been saved for his dinner , and threw it under the fire grate . Upon seeing this , his wife , who knew from sadexperience the violence of his temper , left the house , and his wrath then burst upou his unoffending child , who had been put to bed ; he struck him over the head and different parts
of the bod y , with a fire-poker , and with a piece of wood , ana to such an extent was his violence carried , that surgical aid was obliged to be obtained , ind for some time it was doubtful whether the injuries wouJd not terminate fatally ; it was fortunate for the prisoner that such was not the case . Meanwhile the police were sent for , and the child removed and put to bed . The prisoner then being left alene in his house , went up stairs and attempted to set it on fire , and an alarm was soon raised that smoke was issuing out of an upper window . A policeman then went in and found the prisoner laid all his length on the floor , and at once took him into custody , whilst another threw some water into the bed-room . It was found that he had taken a shovel full of fire up stairs , and thrown some coznbnsdbles upon it . which had a narrow
escape of setting the premises on fire . These circumstances were detailed , and the manner in which the unfortunate victim of brutal violence gave his evidence against his father , caused a thrill of horror in the court . The fellow having been asked what he had to say for himself replied that he did not know any thing about it—he was so drunk that he did not know what he did . Mr . Musgrave told him that did not &t ail lessen hia crime ; he did not remember at any time having a more outrageous case brought before him , and the magistrates were sorry they could not inflict a more severe punishment than that which the law empowered them to do in such cases . They should , however , go to the full extent . He was then fined £ 5 , and in default of payment was sent to Wakefield House of Correction for two months .
STBOUD . —Civility and Truth-speaking Habits of M . P . ' s , Specially Interesting to the Electors of Stroud . —Mr . Martin , who was one of the deputation from the Petition Convention to the Hon . Members for this borough , Mr . Poulett Scrope and little Lord John , gives the following account of hiE mission : — " Four times we waited on the little Lord , and though it was at . the hour of one in the afternoon , we were informed he was in bed , the place where the deputation found him when they waited on him in behalf of poor Frost , and when
he made use of ths following language : — ' The Privy Council have agreed to save his life ; but I am sorry for it . ' We were told that his private secretary would send an answer to a circular which we left ; but it never came to hand . Now for Mr . Scrope . We called at his house at noon , when the servant said that he had ordered his horse , which would be at the door at one o ' clock , and then he would hear what we had to say . We were there at the time , the horse was ready , but you will scarcely believe me when I tell you that his footman was instructed to say he was ill in bed . "
BRISTOL— Ticket meetings are the order of the day here , and the Whigs are trying all their arts to gull the trades into the support of Mr . Berkeley . A grand public meeting , on " Free Trade" principles was called for Monday night , in Ryan ' s Amphitheatre ; but , like all other meetings of Jaie , it was not only " ticketted , " but packed with the dupe ? of the " P 2 ague , " in order that so inconvenient a subject as discussion might not find room to enter . It was also well guarded by police . Mr .
Cobdcu , ot Manchester , of bludgeon notoriety , with his company of free traders , was in attendance ; and , in one of his flowery , unmeaning speeches , threw dust in tho eyes of his dupes , and blmded them to their own interest . Free trade was declared to be the panacea for all the grievances under which we labour . Mr . Berkeley was expected to show , but , though loudly called for , he did not come , and a promise was held out that he would be present on a future evening . The meeting then broke up .
KEIGHZiE 7 . —Easter Dues . —The new Rector of Keighley , Mr . Busfield , is at present favouring the inhabitants with a proof of his sympathy for the poor , by adding to their thousand and one burthens that of Easter Dues . Ho avows himself n , firm supporter of the Church as it is , and declares his determination to enforce its laws to the last , especiaiJy those which give him power over the purses of his parishioners . To prepare the way for this new ciaim , he sent rnund , some weeks ago , several females of his flock belonging to the middle class , who went into every house , hut , and cabin , kindly inquiring after the welfare of the inhabitants , the number of the children , the schools and places of worship they attended , with other particulars , all of
which they inserted in a book . It since turns out that these amiable women were employed by their reverend pastor in bringing him a correct account ot the state of his flock , preparatory to their undergoing the operation of the shears , as a collector if eow going round informing the blind , lame , and starving that nothing can screen them from payment , aud that distraints on their goods will certainly be made in case of a refusal . This commencement of the ministerial duties of a man tvho has already between two and three thousand pounds a year , more especially at . a time like the present , when few working people can get the common necessaries of life , iscertsicly a mark of kindness maDy of the poor did not expect , and which they will long remember with becoming gratitude .
At a Meeting held in the Working Man ' s Hall , on Tuesday evening last , a resolution was unanimously passed to the effect * That a deputation shouid ' be appointed to wait upon Mr . O'Connor on his release lrom prbon , to tender to him the sympathy of the association for his sufferings in their behalf , and their pleasure at his release from the hands of his persecutors with their determination to suck to him to the last through good report and bad , so long as he continues true to their cause . Also that he be requested to favour his friends here with a visit as soon as convenient , after his liberation .
ASHTON , Melancholy Occurrence . —Od Saturday week , Wunng the confirmation held at St . Thomas ' s Church , Ashton , near Wigan , a very serious event took place , and which arose from a momentary unfounded report in the west gallery that it was giving way . This was about half-past six o ' clock , at which time the bishop had just , concluded confirming the femaleB , when a crack was heard in the western £ a ' : Jery , as if from the back ol one of the seats , occasioned by pressure ; this immediately caused an impression ou the minds of several persons that the gallery was giving way under them , jnst in front wb « re the organ is situated . At ihe impulse of the moment , a general alarm was created , which was considerably heightened by one of the Bingers telling those standing near him that the gallery was giving way , and requested them to go out qnietly ; which advice , unfortunately , was not followed . A
simultaneous rush instantly took place towards the gallery stairs , and , in the hurry and confusion to get out , numbers of females fell at the bottom of the stairs , and scores following hard on in the fright , also f Jl over them until the staircase was completely filled up , the females being literally piled one on the other nearly to the ceiliDg . The screamin 2 &t this moment was heart-rending ; bnt the poliee , after several ineffectual efforts , at last succeeded in extricating them from their awful predicament . The whole of tbe persons remained jammed together for nearly twenty minutes , and the weight of eo many from the upper part of the stairs pressing downwards rendered the situation of those underneath truly appalling One aged fomale w&s so much injured that she { ied the same evening , but although a great number of others were strioasly injured , they are all at present in a fair way of recovery

NEWCASTLE . Mb . Editor , —By giving insertion to the following correspondence you will greatly oblige the Chartists of tbi < district I remain , Sir , Tours truly , James Sinclair Sub-Secretary . Newcastle , 3 rd June , 1841 . Sir , —I -was instructed , at a public meeting of tbe Inhabitants of this town , to request you to become a candidate for tbe suffrage of Newcaatle-upon-Tyne at the anticipated election . The committee are boar
canvasalngtae electors , several hundred * of whom have promised to support whatever candidate , of Chartist principles , may be brought forward . An answer at your earliest convenience , stating the terms upon which you would accept of our invitation , will greatly oblige . Sir , Yours truly , In the cause of truth , James Sinclair , Secretary . To James Bronterre O'Brien , Esq ., Lancaster Castle .
MR . O BRIEN S ANSWER . Lancaster Castle , June 8 th , 1841 . My dear Sir , —I have this moment received your very nattering and gratifying communication , and lose not a moment in replying to it ( By all means , and at all hazards , take advantage of the forthcoming general election , to procure , if possible , a real national representation for the country ; and tell the men of Newcastle , it affords me infinite gratification to find them so vigorously alive to the true interests and honoar of their town , as to be amongst the first to assert , practically , the right of the non-electors to a full participation in the benefits of representative government . Vow or never is the time to strike an effective blow for the liberties of the people : and if
the men of Newcastle will only do , what you say they are preparing to do , they will have sounded the death knell of tyranny for ever , and covered themselves with immortal glory . Tell them , by all means , that my services are at their disposal , tor whatever kind Of work they may cut out for me , provided it involve no compromise of principle , or deviation from the great charter , to which we all stand pledged ; and tell them also that , with the exception of Brighton , there is not another town in the United Kingdom I would be more proud to represent than the spirited town of Newcastle-upon-Tyne , although there , are upwards of twenty towns in the kingdom that weuld prefer me for their representative to any other man in the country , excepting Feargus O'Connor . Newcastle , I
believe , sends two Members to Parliament ; more than nine-tenths of its inhabitants ate small tradesmen , mechanics , and working men , who , although the real authors of whatever prosperity the town enjoys , are wholly unrepresented in feelings and interests by either , or both , of the present sitting members !— this must no longer be . Tis perfectly infamous that only one-tenth part of your population composed of land and house lords , ship-owners , merchants , usurers , lawyers , brokers , and parsons—fellows who would swaUow up ten times more than you all produce , ( i ! they could get it , ) without yielding you any corresponding advantage , and still be unsatisfied and ungrateful— 'tis perfectly infsmons , I say , that this grasping , heartless , workless fraction of your
populatioa , should have two representatives , while you , tbe industrious nine-tenths , constituting tbe worth and strength of your town , should have no representative at all ! . ' I In God and the people's name , then , put an end to this abominable anomaly at the forthcoming election . Unless either of the two ruling factions will agree to coalesce and split votes with you , so as to give you man for man , i . e . member for member , oppose both a \ ik « upon the hustings ; return your own men by show of hands , and stick by them when you have returned them , resolved to recognise no other as your representatives . If , for instance , you return me , for want of a better , I pledge myself to stick by you to the death , so long as you stick by me ; and if the rest of tbe country will not go and do likewise , they may go to the D—1 , for they will deserve to die as they have lived , miserable , unpitied slaves . On ! if tbe
Chartist press would but give up their dirty , jealous , personal squabbles , and for once act an honourable , manly part , how soon we should see four hundred good men and true , ready to take the field , and be put in nomination , and beat both factions , on every bastings , at the approaching elections ! But , may-hap , it is not yet too late . Let the men of Newcastle , at all events , set th « m a good example . Let the brave men of the Tyne set tbe ball a-going -with spirit , and may-hap , notwithstanding all the folly and treachery we havp experienced , tbe game may be taken up by the men of Sunderland and Durham , who will kick the bill into Yorkshire and Lancashire , who will kick it again into the midland disiricts , and so on , till it rolls along southwards into London , and thence right into St . Stephen ' s Chapel , where , I trust , it will carry speaker , mace , and all . before it . ' M
Until I hear from you again , and know more of your condition and piospects , I can offer no further suggestions as to the course you should pursue . I shall expect , however , to bear from you soon again , and meanwhile be pleased to convey my affectionate regard and sincere thanks to the men of Newcastle , for the honour they have done me , and tbe gratifying proof they have given of the confidence reposed iu me—a confidence of which I feel moat proud to be the depository , and which , I hope , they shall never have cause to regret as misplaced . Please also to inform them that I should instantly issue an address to them through the newspapers , but that , through an unexampled stretch of despotism , I am cut off from all communication with the press . But more of this when I write again . Meanwhile , I remain , My dear Sir , Very sincerely your ' fl James Bronturre O'Brien .
To Mr . James Sinclair . The Chartist Election Committee met last night , to hear the report of the correspondence with the gentlemen whom the Secretary was instructed , at the public meeting , on the 27 th ultimo , to request to become candidates for the Suffrage of Newcastle , at the ensuing election . Mr . Scott , of Ouseburn , being called to the chair , the Secretary read Mr . O'Brien's affirmative answer , as above ; Mr . V . Sankey's negative , assigning as a reason his pre-ecgagement by the electors of Marylebone ; and Mr . Watkins ' s negative , in which be very minutely drew a . picture of what that House must ot necessity be when sent there under tke present system . Mr . Hall then moved , and Mr . Bruce seconded , "That James Bronterre O'Brien , Esq ., and Mr . Johu Mason ,
be the candidates for the town of Newcastle , at the anticipated election . "—Carried . Mr . Sinclair moved , and Mr . Crothers seconded , " That the Secretary be instructed to send a copy of his letter to Mr . O'Brien , and Mr . O"B . 'b answer , to the Northern Star , requesting them to insert tbe sama "—Carried .

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MR . O'BRIEN , IN ANSWER TO ONE FROM MR . BOWMAN , OF CARLISLE . Lancaster Castle , June 14 th , 184 J . Mt dear Bowman , —I have received yours of tbe 12 th instant , with the enclosed printed address , and am most gratified to find by both that the men of Carlisle mean to do their duty to themselves and country at the approaching election . Now or never ( as I before observed ) is the time to strike an effective blow at both factions . If the unrepresented people let this opportunity Blip through their hands , they will sup sorrow for their neglect , and that for many a long dreary day ! For , believe me , Bowman ,
that unless we can accomplish at tbe coming elections , one or the other of these two things—namely , either the admission of some fifty Chartist Members into ihe new House of Commons , or failing that , THE creation OF a great National Council , consisting of some 200 or 300 Cliarlisl representatives of ihe people , openly and fairly elected bp the show of hands at ihe principal elections throughout the kingdom—unless , I say , we accomplish either or both of these objtcts at the coming elections , it is ray decided opinion that a bloody revolution is not far distant .
If , however , we can accomplish either or both of these objscts , the revolution may be averted , for then the millions will have a something to look to—a something to sustain their fainting hopes , and stand between them and despair— a something to induct them to wait a little longer , before abandonimg all hope of legal and peaceable redress , they take their affairs into their own hands , and resort to the ultima Ratio e / armed force to right themselves If they can get some forty or fifty of their own friends into the House of Commons , it will be a sign that the tipper and middle . classes have at last begun to recognise their just claims ; and that circumstance , as well as the h » pe of seeing something done for them by the Parliamentary exertions of their newly-elected friends , will postpone , if not entirely extinguish , all schemes of a revolutionary character .
But if the two factions will not permit this—if neither © f them will coalesce , and split their rotes with the Chartists , so as to yield tho latter a party in tbe House of Commons—in fchort , if the factions are determined to have the entire , representation of the country to themselves , and to leave 6 , 000 , 000 of adult working men without anyrepreBeutation at all , then there ¦ will be but one sbeetaBtehor fur us—but cue solitary plank between us and life lutLoiuless gulf of revolution j that plank is the G / eat National Council , to be elected by a show of hands .
This Council , as the depository of the nation ' s confidence , will at once serve js a constitutional rallying point tor the outraged nii'lioBS , and as a barrier ugaintt retfoiulim , by enabling them to earry on tbe war of Tight against their oppressors , without violating the

law , or endangering the peaea of society . Its rusiness will be to negotiate with the Government ( in tbe name of the nation which has just clothed It with its confidence and authority ) an Act of Settlement , which shall at once make the People ' s Charier Vba law of the land , and establish such guarantees for tbe protection of property , as will relieve both rich and poor from all apprehensions of want , or the fear « f want Haw that could be done , I have already explained in some of oar conversations , when we met in Carlisle . To go over the matter here , would occupy too much space , and , after all , would be only the opinion of one man . Besides , on the National Council would , of ourse , devolve the task of framing tbe Act of Settlement , and therefor * all we have to consider now is , how to render that Council as full and complete a representation of the people u possible .
It can be dene only by every man doing his duty at the elections . Let every county , city , and borough have its candidates ready to be put in nomination ; let no Chartist be absent from the hustings on the day of nomination ; let no Chartist band beheld up for Whig or Tory on that day , but let every Chartist hand be held up , when the show of hands is taken , for the Chartist candidates ; and thus let both factions be made to see , to their shame and aorxow , that they form bat a miserable , despised fraction of the population . To save the future expence and inconvenience of having too many candidates elected , it might be well to have the same candidates elected fer two or more places in the same county or district Thus the same parties might represent Newcastle , Morpeth , and North Shields , in Northumberland ; and two other candidates Gateshead , South Shields , and Sunderland , in Durham But tbe people themselves are the best judges on this point ; so to the people let us leave it .
Even if the National Couneil were not to meet when the new Parliament meets—were it absolutely to do nothing after its election , every member of it remaining at home , and occupying himself as he does nowstill even on this hypothesis , it is of the utmost consequence to have them elected ; for , we know not the moment , ( in critical times like these , ) when the services of such a body may be required , to take advantage of some national crisis , in behalf of tho millions that elected them . Now , remember that in troubled times you can have no elections i—and that the only authority competent to act for the people in such times is the authority they have themselves created in time of peace . Under all circumstances , therefore , tbe existence of such a body as the projected National Council , is essentially necessary to our purposes at the present time .
I am extremely glad to see that the advice given by tbe Northern Star last week corresponds exactly with the substance of what I have suggested to my friends all over tbe country— -including my former letters to yourself and Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle . By all means , I repeat , coalesce with either faction , that will bonajide coalesce with you , on terms of reciprocal advantagethat is , on the conditions of splitting their votes with you , and giving you man for man in the representation of the Borough . But if neither will split their votes with you , then down with both factions alike—set up your own candidates , and look to none else , either before * r after the election .
There is but one part of the Staff advice I regret to see—one part from which I dissent in toio . I mean the Editor ' s recommendation to support Tories against Whigs , in case the -Chartists should not be able to return their own candidate . I cannot possibly concur in this advice , Aor will any of my friends throughout the country . Oar business , as Chartists , is , I repeat , to disavow both factions alike , even as they have disavowed us , and to make no distinction whatever between them , saving where they choose to make the distinction themselves , by agreeing to coalesce and split their votes with our party . That is the only possible case in which we can recognise either faction without compromising our principles , and degrading ourselves as a party . What . ' vote for a Tory , merely
to keep out a Whig ! Vote for a villain who waits to put down me , and my . principles , and my party , by brute force , merely to get rid of another villain who has tried the same game , and failed l No ! d—n me ! if I do . If I were to help either villain against tho other , I should help the weaker villain , who has failed , rather . than the stronger one , who is about to cashier him for bis failure , and to whom all that is black and blue in the land , looks for the suppression of Chartism . And as to the new Aocua pocus policy of promoting Chartism by inundating tbe next House of Commons with Toryism , I cannot find language capable of expressing my contempt for it . O'Connor is certainly mad , if he imagines it ; for I am certain be could never swallow such a gross lump of Cobbettism in a moment of sober reflection . It is contrary to all bis former recorded opinions , and utterly at variance with the policy bo so ably and manfully followed up
against the Liberator' and Champion . Let the Chartists but once make common cause with the Tories , no matter for what purpose , and that moment they annihilate themselves morally as a political party , and prepare the way for their physical extinction , by the very villains they would league with , covertly supported by the other villains they leagued against With what face could any Chartist hereafter csmplain of Tory violence or Tory atrocity , if he had but lent a helping hand towards placing them in power , and that , well-knowing all tbe time , that their principal object in getting power was to crush him and exterminate his principles by the force of hired assassins ? I tell you , Bowman , that the Chartist who votes for a Tory , unless that Tory votes f « r him , is eithor a fool or a traitor . Down with both factions . ' —and no distinction !—that should be our cry . Yours , dec . James B . O'Brien .
[ We give two letters from Mr . O'Brien this week , — all we have room for . By the last paragraph above , it will be seen that Mr . O'Brien does not agree in the recommendation of the Star and Mr . O'Connor , as to tbe coarse to be pursued by Chartist voters at the approaching election . It is only by placing all opinions before the people that they can come to discreet conclusions , as to the course most likely to . be profitable to their own causa The Star and Mr . O'Connor but approved of that course of action which the people ef Nottingham decided upon adopting ; and in favonr of which nearly the unanimous voice of the people has been expressed—and the effect of which has been the affording tbe people that opportunity which the whigs would have cheerfully deferred . The Nottingham election has
caused a dissolution of Parliament—the Nottingham election has caused the break-up of the only Ministry that has hehl power under what may be called the Reformed Constitution of this country ; and whose acts should consequently not be compared with the acts of those wboee power the Reform Bill was to strangle ; and we regret exceedingly to find that what Nottingham so wisely resolved and acted upon , and what the people , the Star , and tbe ConvENTiOiN so highly approved of , should meet with the disapprobation of any Chartist . If any defence of the Star and Mr . O'Connor were necessary , we should only be justified in using that defence , if either had acted in contravention to the public will ; but what was our situation ? what was our duty ? and how have we
discharged it ? are tbe questions for popular solution . Our situation was this : some defined opinion was required at our bands . Our duty in delivering that opinion was to take core that we compromised none of our own principles ; and to weigh wherein our opinion's and those of the country harmonised or clashed . How did we discharge that duty ? Thus : the country appointed a Convention of thirteen persons , having their fall and undivided confidence . We placed our own opinions in abeyance until we should have been in possession of the digest of the national will , through the only national representative body in existence . That digest we gave—luminous , splendid , all-comprehensive , and convincing aa it was : and we honestly confess that it
must have been a strong leaning upon our side which the arguments therein continued would not have removed . But it so happened that our views and the views of the Convention in no wise differed . Hence the charge against Mr . O'Connor and the Star should be for having cheerfully followed and zealously worked out tbe unanimous opinion , and express recommendation of that body , and we imagine that reference to dates will prove that while we were merely engaged in the organisation of public opinion and its preparation for acting upon the advice of tbe Convention , the Convention was in a higher stage and preparing for the direction ot public opinion . Now , suppose the Star aUd Mr . O'Cennor , even had they differed from the Convention , to have flown in the face of the National Representatives ,
would not both have been justly chargeable with intolerance and despotism ? We regret exceedingly that any one act of purs , of Mr . O'Connor , or of tbe Convention , should have failed to command tbe entire approbation of so bold , so zealous , so able , so unflinching , and , upon almost every occasion , so uniformly discreet a teacher as Mr . O'Brien . However , if we hod but the alternative of acting upon the opinions and recommendations of Mr . O'Brien , or the Convention , and if our opinions were to form the balance , and were they even unsettled , we have no hesitation in declaring that we would at once throw those opinions into the national scale . That we have done ; and it will be for the people to decide how far they will follow the recommendations of the Convention , supported \> j O'Connor and the Star .
They will on this-subject , as we ever wish them to do on all—take their own well-considered coarse —but we tell them that if they suffer themselves to be led away from their determination to beat down the " bloodies" at all haaards , they will bitterly repent itj
