NEWCASTLE . Public Meetikg is tbk Stittal . —Last Wednesday evening , a meeting was held Hens , Hr . Sinclair in the chair . Sir . Morgan moved the following resolution which was seconded by Vr . Mason , and carried unanimously . " That this
mefting pledges itself to agitate for nothing short of the People ' s Charter , being conscious that nothing less than a fall and free representation in the state can remoye the ilistrea of the suffering millions . " The Chartists held their weekly meeting ( in the Chartists * room , QaactUor ' s Head yard , ^ on Monday evening , Mr . K ofiii in the cfcair . The Secretary read the minutes of list meeting , likewise a circular which he had received from the Executive . The treasurer reported the contributions for the week which are greatly on the increase . Cfcartisni is progressing rapidly .
OLCBAai . —On Sunday last , Mr . R . K Philp , of Bath , one of the Executive of the National Charter ^^ ay i ^ tj "" , delivered two argumentative and animating lectures in the Chartist Boom , Greaves-street . He commenced by stating he was greatly pleased with the p ' iiD of conducting the meetings , and said , that when he got back to bis own locality he would recommend iB adoption . The ChaBHSts of Oldham , at their weekly meeting on Monday last , nnanimoasly agreed to the following resolution : — " That we disapprove of the plan recommended to be brought before the delegate meeting at Htbdfcn-bridge . on Sunday , the 15 th instant , which appeared in the Star of last Saturday , respecting > couDty demonstration , for this reason , that , in consequence of ha Ting to go ten or fifteen miles , the loss
of time , and the great expence that would be incurred by attending such a demonstration , our opinion is that it would be a failure , particularly at a time when 'its labourer is so much bound down with low wages tad short of employment . That , with respect to s National Petition , the ExecutiTe baring taken up ffip gneftjon , we deem it imprudent to interfere so as to £ ssh with their proceedings ; we consider we should not be doing them justice , after hating placed thtEi id the responsible situation we haTe done ; and we are father of opinion that all national questions to be apated or petitioned for , ought to proceed from the body , so that we may haTe one central point to look usto , thit ail localities may more and act at one and the sajce time , and for one aad the same o'bject . We are favourable to a National Petition , but that all petitions should hare only one object . *

ASCENDANCY OF THE PEOPLE . Fob a moment we leave the people out of our present consideration , which is the relative value of the respective social , political , aad politico-social parties ia the State ; atd before we introduce our herd "The People , " to our readers' notice , we shall attempt fairly to class each party according to their influence . The four great political estates we estimate ihus : —Firstly , the Press ; secondly , the Commons ; thirdly , tbe Lords ; and fourthly , the Monarch .
Of the Eocial bodies , the dealers in fictitious money , and who thereby command our monetary system to a certain extent , be they Whigs or be they Tories , deserve the first notice . They also command tho labour market , and have , both directly and indirectly , a powerful influence orer the actions of the millions ia times of adversity as well as in timeB of prosperity . They may be denominated the movement pressure of Whiggery from without ; while the priests of nearly all denominations , with the most wealthy of their flocks , who see perfection in things as they are , may be fairly admitted to constitute the out-movement
staff of ths Tories . The electoral body , ia itself , cannot be v « ry influential , as it is ooinpelled to blow hot and cold ; majhap , s majority of the Commons being the representatives of a minority of the electoral body ; and thus does the majority lose all preeminence in tbe House of Commons . As long as a struggle was carried on inside for popular rights , " our hero" lost all distinctive character , and became a very docile force , "moved bj the press at will , for the snpport of some undefined principle , ard never conld " the People" have appeared as a distinct political party , so long as they placed a blind reliance upon others to do for them what they must do for themselves .
The great force given to the non-electors during the two first years of Reform , when three hours of each day w&re set apart for debating their petitions , was the foundation-stone of that powerful temple which the people have been since engaged in erecting . And however the wily Whigs succeeded , as hosts , in ill-treating the guests whom they had invited to their House , yet do we fearlessly assert that " the seed of democracy was for the first time well bowh , and in proper ground , during the years 1 S 33 and 1834 . Those petitions , which flocked in by thousands , taught the Government and
representatives that there was another and a more powerful party than their lessors of power . The Reform Bill taught them nothing : they were ignorant enough to Bnpposo that tbe whole excitement in favovut of 'Whiggery was created by those who hoped to be enfranchised by the sweeping principle that taxation and representation Bhould be co-extensive , while the fact was that Peterloo , the six acts , persecution of the unstamped press , and the long reign of Tory misrule , added to to the great promised change , had wrought the whole public mind up to a pitch of insanity against the old offender , Toryism .
In those days how easily were the popnlac * wooed and won , and to what madness roused by a single flaming speech in the House , or a single bluing

article in * sevenpenny newspaper . Yes , they had an electrical effect ; and tbe fire of patriotism waa sare to communicate the sparks of its burning eloquence to stacks , farm buildingB , and machinery , the supplanter of man ; and all of whioh the poor were taught , by the mild Reformers of the day , to look upon as their natural enemies . About this time , we say , the character of our " hero" waa
unformed ; but long service in the Whig camp , and a close observance of the duties performed by the press-gang , added to a succession of sore and vexatious disappointments , taught him wisdom from experience ; and , passing over the last ten years of of his probation , we now introduce him as the commander-in-chief of al ] those sections , parties , and powers , to each and all of which he bent himself in succession in the days of yore .
We have witnessed , and are daily witnessing fresh instances of" the People ' s" strength . Firstly , we find au appeal from the throne , under the captivating title of relief , not only not thanklessly but ungraciously reoeived , aud answered ia the language * f total indifference . Secondly , we find all appeals to tha passions of the People formerly commanding easy access to their hearts , their heads , and their most violent actions , and now , redoubled by au increased aud cheaper press , falling harmless at the feet of democracy . If the wisest man
had been told some ten years since that the monarch , backed by throe hundred of the old favourites ol the People , a large majority of the press , tho influence of masters holding command over life itself , the terrors of the law , the thunderiug eloquence of the dissent church and a portion of the law church , the liorrora of the cold bastile as ft last resource , and the delightful anticipations of " PLENTY TO DO , HIGH PROFITS , GOOD wages asd cheap BBEAD ;"—the invitation to erect " barricades . " the requisition to ask for " bread or
blood , —the gallant recommendation to decapitate obnoxious ladies , and trail their lifeless heads through the gutter ; if , we say , the wisest man had been told that all suoh inducements would fail to produce any other effect upon the people than a strong resolution and firm resolve to resist the impious temptation , and to place reliance upon their own powers , put forth at their own proper time and in their own way , —the wisest man would have laughed and said , " 0 , the press is all-powerful , it will do it I "
Has not the press , then—heretofore the politica l firebrand of the nation—lost all power for evil Has not the Monarch lost all power of pei suasion 3 Have not the Commons lost all popular respect i Have not the Lords been passed over in public consideration as a party not worth a thought 1 Has not the Church lost its hold upon prejudice 1 Have not the masters lost all controul over those whose
very lives are at their mercy ? Have not the money mongers in their assault upon labour , and the rights of the people fallen victims to their own infernal machinations 1 Aud are not the Tories , through their leading organ and their most popular popularity-hunters , compelled to speak respectfully of tho people , and seriously of alterations in the two great measures to which they , in common with the Whigs , gavo their undivided support !
The Poor Law Amendment Act , the Times tells us , must be all but repealed , and its provisions and workings taKen away from the Commissioners aud placed entirely in the hands of local boards , and outdoor relief extended to the pauper . Upon the other hand , Lord Ashley revives the factory agitation which has lain nearly dormant for some time , and rather significantly on the approximation of Downing-street by his political friends , seeks prominency for a course of action which its advocates—ourselves especially—have hitherto sedulously regarded as sacredtobenevolence . anddisallied from party . However , we take them as " signs" from the Tories—a kind of bidding against tbe Whigs ; for this , however , there is no occasion , for tho people are now anti-Whig to a man , as they ever have been anti-Tory .
Upon the other hand , we find the Whig press making daily discoveries that the very things for which the Caartists have been prosecuted are the very things for which they themselves now declare . For ten years thej have had the means of doing these very things which they not only refused to do , but whioh they persecuted others for asking them submissively to do ; aud , alas I one short month of reflection on their tour to the other side of Downing-street , has taught them the justice and propriety of adopting a completely new course . Ah ! these are the things which disgust the people , and teach them that pelf ,
not justice , is their object , and " expediency , not " principle , " their means . How could it be otherwise ? Was any , the most Btupid , ignorant enough to suppose that men would see all the comforts of the few daily increased , and their comparatively insignificant difficulties removed , while the grievances and wants of those who caused tke improvement and removed the difficulties , increased in the same ratio ! If the rich man can now make more of his time , and save hia money by travelling as ftu in one hour as he was wont to travel in four , will not the poor man also begin to
look for a corresponding improvement for himself in the change ? If a man can now , by attending machinery , earn £ 200 a-year , instead of £ 20 by the old process , will he consent to work harder , and a greater number of hours , for a less remuneration 1 and will he receive as a boon that law which tells him that his child shall only devote the whole livelong day to eating , walking to and from slavery and slaying , while the master , by machinery , makes all the profit , and holds dominion over his very life ? Because he was fool enough to believe that a " free trade" in postage would have the effect of
lightening his burdens by some millions of pounds a-year , do his tyrants suppose that he will much longer consent to make good a million of a deficiency , although productive of an increase of aristocratic correspondence , and a reduction npon the postage of bankers , traders , and merchants ? Are any fools enough to imagine that a people so educated as our people have been in the school of adversity , can be again duped or led from the high road of Reform down the bye-ways of expediency 1 No , no ; and any scheme now tried to insure
a kind of sectional outside-support for the old foe , will fail to produce other sensation than that of scorn and contempt for a faction who would give just what they cannot withhold , while they would much prefer the free exercise of their olden sway . The days of bit-by-bit Reform are gone , and the new light of Mr . O'Conneix , who kow declares himself for Triennial Parliaments , Household Suffrage , and the Ballot , and the glimmer of the Times and the Tories' will shine with equal dulness through the chinks of Chartism .
We eret hare asked , and ever shall ask , for an equal share in every improvement for the working classes ; and if a man . can earn plentj for hia wants in twenty minutes by machinery , instead of working , as of old , twelve hours for the same amount , reason , justice , an d prudence declare that he should not work more t ' oan twenty minutes , and also that every minute o' after-work is an unjust competition against hiras'alf in his own labour market . Such ever has be ' jn , and such ever shall be , our demand for the people ; an equal advantage from all improvem-ents , to that which other classes derive from tho is improvements , and which the people are certain ^ o achieve if they only , by union , preserve their * sewtdancv .

MR . O'CONNOR'S REPLY TO THE HON
AND REV . BAPTIST NOEL . Wa beg to claim the very best attention of every working man for the able the searching and oondusivoreply of Mr . O'CosNOKto Mr . Noel ' s" Plea for the Poor , " which will be found in onr fifth and sixth pages . We regret that the people have not more organs for the circulation of sound doctrines , inasmuch as we feel convinced that nothing could long withstand the demands made on behalf of the working classes , if the same facilities were afforded
for the publication of Bound views as are presented to those who argue tbe people ' s cause for their own benfit , or according to the prevailing political fashion of party or of the day . This ia a document which all must retain as a book of reference . We need make no apology for a scarcity of leading articles this week , as the space could not be better occupied , or more pertinently to the times and all engrossing topics of the day , than it has been by Mr . O'Conwob ' s letter .

DUBUW . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association of tbi * place held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday lstt / Mr . Charles Freebairn In the chair , who opened tbe business of the meeting by stating its objects ; after which , a man , who was admitted by courie *? . aad who aaid bis name was Luke K » lly , " a Repeal Warden , " rose and instated on his right to address the meeting ; and although he was told by the Chairman that none bat members had a right to speak , yet he persevered in a most outrageous manner , using language which would disgrace a blackguard . He said tbe meeting was composed of Orangemen , and that he would put it down , to effect which he called for a cheer for O'Connell . Mr . Patrick O'Connell roae , and said he was a Roman Catholic , a member of the Irish
Universal SuS' rage Association , and also a Repealer . Ke saw nothing in tbe principles of tho People ' s Charter to which any Roman Catholic could object Mr . O'Conaell ( the " Liberator , * as be waa colled ) wrote the Charter ; and all Dan or any other person could gay against his ( Mr . P . O'Connell ' 8 ) opinions would not alter them . If ( said he ) we are wrong , we are the willing sacrifices of our own fotty , and are willing to be sacrificed at the Bhriue of out country , to ¦ which alone we are answerable for our conduct . Tbe speaker concluded a powerful speech , which would have done credit to the Liberator himself , amidst great cheering . Here the meeting waa again disturbed by the " personal friends of Mr . O'Counell , " as they called themselves , a Mr . Reynolds , a nailer , and one Tom Ainger , another nailer .
Order b « ing again restored , Mr . OCHiggins read a speech of his , published in Freeman ' s Journal ot tbe 18 th of January , 1837 , which was a complete answer to the accusations of Ainger , and the others who joined him . Luke Kelly and his party now became furious . Kelly jumped upon the form , and said they would put down the meeting ; that he ( Kelly ) -was the friend of O'Connell , the Liberator , and that those who assembled in that room were his enemies ; that they were a Society paid and supported by the Tories . It was apparent that Luke Kelly aud those who were with him thought to create a not , in which they were foiled by the cool , steady , and good temper of the members , and by Mr . O'Higgins telling them that the house was his , and if they would not conduct themselves
ia a peaceable and orderly manner , he would takb means to compel them to do so . Kelly and his friends then declared that Mr . O'Connell and every member of his family bad pronounced a sentence upon Mr . O'Higgins eight years ago , declaring him a slanderer , and setting tortb , as his and their reaaoa , that he ( Mr . O'Higgins ) had brought certain charges against a Mr . John Reynolds which he did not prove , and read a paper , which he got from the Corn Exchange , to that effect . The ruffians were then ordered to leave the room , and were shewn out to the street-door : in passing between the room in which the meeting was held and the dwelling-house , one of " Mr . O'Connetl'a friends" to « k a stone from his pocket , and broke a large square of glass In a window . Soon after this , a party « f police arrived , the Serjeant of whom asked for the owner of the house , declaring , at the door , that he had ao right to enter without permission . Mr .
O'Higgins invited the aerjeant and his party in , and , on being admitted , they said that four or five men had stated , at the Police-office , that there was a riotous and illegal meeting in that house ; and , in consequence of this information , he and his party felt it their duty to come there to preserve the peace , but that he hod never seen a more orderly or peaceable meeting in his life . Mr . O'Higgins explained tbe objects and rules of the Association , and handed the serjeant and his party each a copy of the objects and rules . The police retired , declaring that the rioters were < tU otilsida and not in , and that they would prevent them from doing any mischief . Mr . Henry Clarke , Mr . John Dtryer , and Mr . James Howard were admitted members . Several notices for the admission of new members were given , and thanks having been given to the Chairman , the meeting separated , highly delighted with the triumph they had gained over the " personal friends of Mr .

THE DROGHEDA ARGUS AND THE LOYAL DROGHEDA TRADES * ASSOCIATION , Versus
FEARGUS O'CONNOR AND THE CHARTISTS . TO THE EDITOR OF THB DROGHEDA ARGUS . Sib , —An Irish Chartist has just sent me a copy of the Argus of July 31 st , containing " an address of the Loyal Drogkeda Trades' Association to the working classes of Ireland" and to which address you have prefixed the following editorial frontispiece : — «• CHARTISM . —THE LOTAL DROGHEDA TRADES * Association . —The Loyal Drogheda Trades' Association , have put forth aa address to the working classes in Ireland , cautioning them against having anything to do with Chartism . The address shows up Chartism and its leaders in proper style . We wonder what will Feargus say for himself . How will he defend himself and his party from the allegations here setforthr
Sir , this is an invitation , nay , a challenge to reply , and an implied promise of course , that my reply shall have publication through the same channel that contained the indiounenfc . I accept the challenge , aud rely upon your sense of justice for publication of my answer . You shall see my reply in the Northern Star of Saturday the 21 st . 1 could not lee you have it this week , in consequence' of the great length to which my answer to the Hon . and Rev . Baptist Noel ' s pamphlet has ran . In the meantime , Sir , the allegations , as you properly call the grounds of appeal , being very old aad musty , will auger no great damage by a further week ' s keeping . Sir , I care not however venomous , vicious , or fabricated the allegations contained ia any indictment against myself and my party may be ; 1 will answer , and I undertake to say , manfully and
satisfactorily refute them every one . However difficult it may be to defend an outlawed , beause a surplus , population , ( made such by man ' s artifice ) against the exuberance ' of Irish loyalty , which at present swells the hearts and quickens the pulsation of the hyper-loyal Irish , -yet do I fearlessly join issue with the Loyal Dro # heda Trades Association ; and I venture to Bay they will soonreceive an injunction from head quarters to discontinue the controversy . Meantime , Sir , I assert for the present , as I undertake to prove next week , that there is not a single sustainable count in the whole long column ot accusation : not one : it is an awkward toss up from the cold and heartless and ignorant sayings of otherB , made up in a hurry for an immediate feed for the poor Irish , who are beginning to ask for their shara of agitation , and among whom this Star has sown the clean seeds of righteousness .
Sir , I ask for discussion ; I will neither blink , balk , or evade anything ; and , therefore , I thank you for you implied promi 3 e of opening to me your columns for all honourable and gentlemanly controversy . Sir , you Bhall have no hard names or scurrilloua epithets from me ; my cause is sufficiently strong to rest npon its own merits . In conclusion , Sir , 1 shall thank yon to insert this letter as an advertisement in your paper of the 21 st : it will serve aa my apology for not having soener replied to the Loj al Tradesmen of Drogheda . You will please transmit your charge for advertising to
Mr . John Ardill , Northern Star Office , Leeds , and the amount shall be sent by return . Sir , as I am now about to engage myself in addressing six letters to Mr . O'Malley , upon the question of a Repeal of the Union , and as of course the Loyal trades of Drogheda are all Repealers , 1 take the liberty ot asking you if you will publish my letters as advertisements , at £ 2 10 s . each , that is , £ 15 for the series . Tbe Argus is taken at my office ; and , perhaps , you will have the ' goodness to give your answer , with names at full length , in your notice to correspondents . The Star of the 21 st shall contain the address of the Loyal Drogheda Trades' Association , at full length .
I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Fkahgus O'Connor . York Castle , 1 lth of 16 th month of Solitary Confinement . [ Since the above came to band we hare also received a long reply to the address Of the Loyal Drogheda Trades Association , from the Chartist body of that town . It is an able and spirited document ; and it will be for Mr . O'Conuor to decide whether or not it shall stand as a substitute in our next for his promised rejoinder . One thing is quite certain , however , that no man belonging . to the Chartist ranks haa rendered more essential service to the cause than the Whig invalided Peter Ho « y , whose presence at Drogheda , however Mr . O'Connor may be made tbe object of attack , is the real easus belli of the Loyal
Association of Trades ; and it must be flattering indeed to the recent inmate of Wakefield , to think that his humble exertions in the cause for which he haa so nobly suffered , requires the personal attendance of the " Liberator" himself to obviate their effeots . Yes , in truth , Monday will be a proud day for poor Peter Hoey , when he sees Mr . OConnell dragged in triumph by an association of Shopocrata to neutralize by blarney the stinging truths propagated by an humble Irish fiufferer in the cause of genuine liberty . While upon this subject , we cannot avoid expressing our regret that Mr . O'Connor has not , asyet , received much more than £ 2 tor the relief of the Whig-made invalid . Surely , surely , some . little stir will now be made , to support our Irish friend struggling for ours and hia own country a liberty , and bearding opposition in the very stronghold of faction . ]
