I could seldom obtain either rest or sleep . I had the best medical . advice ^ including that of two physicians in London , without obtaining any essential relief . I went to Margate , and had

that be would have no objections , onry that it was illegal , and might be made legal in z few hours , after which he would join in the agitation forihe Charter , and would be very happy to attend a meeting for tbe purpose of so remodelling the plan of organisat ion as to make it strictly legaL ; Helefl Mt O'tfeil , at Leeds , with a perfect anderttandlng . thai he ihonld see him again at the delegate ' meeting . He , Griffin , in bis own private capacity and member of tha association , wuhod touk Mr . ONeil why he did not attend the delegate meeting according to promise—to remodel the plan ; and not attending , why did he not join when it was made legal , or shew its illegality . That was tbe substance cf the resolution which passed in Manchester , condemning tbe proceedings of Collins and O NeiL Mr . O'Neil said in reference to tha first
qoertion , as to why ha did not attend the delegate meeting accerding to promise , he did not receive the letter from Tilhnan till tbe Thursday before the meeting was to be held , inviting him to attend . He could not come in his own private capacity , and it was then too late to call a public meeting . They ( the meatingninight blame him , the sesretary at Binning"hatk , or Tillman , wbich they thought proper ; but the facts were as he bad stated . Then , as to the second question , as to wby he did not join when it was made le ^ ai ; when he first got a g lance of the plan of organi
zition after it bad b ^ en remodelled , he said to to himself , surely if any plan ever w&s legal that was , or otherwise he was himself a member of an illegal Bociety ; but he wrote to an experienced man , "who in reply to his letter stated that the Association was illegal ; he , theD , stated that certiia parties , in Birmingham * had used means to force him to join , which was one reason he bad sot done so . He would uot ji > in the Chartists of Birmingham , so long as the present mes in that town took the bead of the management , nor till the Chaitists could let their fellow-men hold different
opinioss to themselves without denouncing tbem as traitors , &c &r . Mr . Griffin having received Mr . O'Nei ^ answer , > aid he would just tafcc the liberty to ask another . Mr . O Neil lia .-i frequently stated , since his arrival , that the Star had misrepresented him . Why did not be and Mr . John Collins attend a delegate meeting , which was bel < l in Birmingham , where things might have been properly discusscnl , and a reconciliation effected ? Mr . O Neil said , teat as he had had no previous notice of the meeting , and as it had only been called by one party , he did not think that it was fairly couvened—when ft man was So be properly tried , it wus nothing but just that he shoulii have equal means of providing himself as his prosecutor—not being a party to cill tbe meeting , and having such a short notice , was the reason he did not attend .
! He then spoke as to the treatment ba had received j from the Chartists of Birmingham , aivl Mr . Oeorga White , who hai the columns of the Skir at his com-] mand , and who ha . i , on many occasions , c . iluiiniited : both Collins and himsfif , and when they had sent re-\ pli .-S , they never appeared . He waa g 2 a 3 tilt I Editor of the Star was present , to answer for himself , and state tbe reason of their non-insertion . — 1 Mr . Campbell siid he thought that it was a : contention for leadership . ( Cries cf " Htar , hear . ) Mr . Hill br-ifl / EUted in reply that the joint letter of Mr . ONcil and iir . Collins , drst , alluded to by ' Mr . : O'Xeil , hau b-e ^ n received at the 1 fact at a period of the ' week too late for iusertion in t \ - - > current nuiubsr , an . l ! was C'iriseq . ieiitly promised f r the sur . aeeciin ? week ; rerce ' . viy . c however , that it ^ pDired that ir& k in the

In reference to the vote of cenrare , Mr . H . explair . ° il tans : —A report or certain pr' > c € edin ; : s in IVirruic ^ hani was sent tu him by a party from whom ho h : ul rtceived * tvdral previous communications , Dp > n wh ^ se Veracity he conceived thut he could > lace some reliance . This report he publiihrd iu the Sor . hern ¦ '• t ir . I is accuracy was disputed , and a coiirittr ttaVemeiit sen' by tbe Clirislian
Chartist Church , wko aecompniiicil t . ' itir counter statement by 3 vote of censure on the IMiior of the . ?^ ir , couched in such terms that he ( Mr . Hill ) supposed that the parries who drew it cp and sent it , could Certainly neTer far a moment soppsso it wonM be inserteJ . He appealed to all renders of the St . ir to say whether he had ever exhibited an unreasonable reluctanoe to insert therein exp ?< t * s : crs of opinion from r . ny body of tbe people , even though it wasatiisipprobr . tifaof his own proceedings . But thire was a bound cf courteous decency which , while careful uut to overstep himself , he wouM not permit tobe sver-stt-ppfi by o ; b . ern . This was one reason why he bid rtfust-. l insertion to the Tote of censure on hiniieif from the Christum Chartists of Birmlugbani . He ay ; dn , from this , if froai no other reason , should txe ' . aJe any like
vote , from whomsoever it n ; : g ' it c " 'ine , if expressed in lite coarse and ungintlemanly terms . Mr . Leach said that he met Mr . 0 Neil in Birmiaghnu , when Lovett and Collies were released , and at the delegate meeting , the next day , Mr . O'Xtil moved that the plan of organization ^ adopted , and call-. d upon the country to carry it out . Why had he changed 1 ilr . O'Xeil said be had not a . printi-d copy with him ; it ta . d not then appeared in tht Slar , and he only took it from tbe description gmn of it by the delegatesbcoides , ha wcut from there to Scotland , aud remaint > d about four months , and wh-j 1 he got back to BiruiLngham again , he found that there was a different feeling txi&ted amongst the Chartists . He was than a member of tbe Union in Scotland , and Mr . Leach and others came to Scotland , reonestiiiz them to join ; they
refused ; then finding that tho 3 c were a number of men whs hao pursued Mr . Collins , aud who had done so foi a number cf years , he could not join them , nor would be so long & 3 the present men were at the head of tbe movement in BirniiEgham . —> Ir . Bailey would -wiah to ask Jlr . OTfeil why he could not join at . Manchester , since they bad expressed their charily bypassing a resolution calling upon the Chartists of Enti ^ nA not to destroy the portraits of the men who differed from them in opinion . —Mr . O'Xeil—Did the resolution appear in the S ! ar ? ( Voices— " Yes . ") He uid r . ot read it , but he was glad to see that the jjK'H of Manchester had evinced such a degree of charity , bnt he could rot juin all at once , he would think about it , and if they continued to hold out the hand of fellowship , he perhaps might be constrained to juin them , but he wculd
not at thit time , it would altogether depend upon circumstances . Mr . Leach thought that Mr . O ' -Ntil and Mr . Coliias must see their error in not endenvcunn . ' ; to bring Birmingham to set with them , as ther-j were alrtady one hundred and sevtnty tiwns tnr-JIe . 1 ; no goodreason could beshown wly Birmingham f-hould stand alone . —M . r . GriffinEa . \ d , mTef < : m , ct : to whidMr 0 N . sa ' i'l about the men of Birmingham m > t btinj favourable to Coliius , he thought such a grand precession as that was to welc-me him home , and tbe ? pleniid dinner , c . early proved that the men of Biruii : i £ fia : n were united . Then again , about not having a plan of erganizition at the delegate meetiag tie iuy aft-. r the pr <> tessior . There was no printed plan ; tut Mr . Spurr , ( he de ! ogate from Londor » , and others , vrho wero present , had every clause written in their pocket-books , and tbev
read and discussed the plm clause by cir . use , in sach a manntr as he ! Mr . G ) understood it , r . nd ; he de ! egat-.-s fijdiBg that Mr . O'Xeil understood it , by his n-. o ^ irjg that it be cocfinne ' . l , they appointed him to draw up sn address to the country , cailin * upon the people to carry it cut . Mr . Diincan wished to ssy a few worus upon the su >\ iccJ , in the hope of reconciling parties , and informing Mr . 0 Xcil of the feeliu ^ s of the people of f : at pirt of Scotland in which he resided : and iu refertnc ^ to Mr . CiJJIin * £ tn-i himrelf he W"uM fay , that the npinjnn yerv gener .-vily was , tlat Mr . Collins au'l Mr . O"Xdl were isjaring the Chartist moveuier . t : they bad r . ot showa their disapproval , that he kuevr * f , b ^ dsf troying his portrait , acd such like ; bnt he biased to assure them that m-isy honest men in D-indee have taken Cu ' , ' . in 3 3 portrait from the wails of their rooms , -nd kid it on one
