CHABTIST PERSECUTION IK IRELAND . TO THE EDITOR OF THE 5 QBTHKRK STAB . Sie , —K » agitation of the Charter in Ireland , at the sine time that ft fa of the greatest importance , is , ia assy iwpMU , & a " sroet critical position , and were it sot for the laudable exertion and skilful management of two or three of oar friends at DoWfn , it ia . In gnat danger of being altogether stiftad- I have had too mn ^> etw to p # rcai » the troth of this statement , in jbj recent visit to Belfast , -where I hare met wita the post vindictive spirit of opposition from the Whigs bbjJ professed follower * and admirers of Shaman Crawford , whe , indeed , seem to be . the only sincere advocate of oar principle * amongst the appee classes in tb » t locality ; and my object in writing- tfie prestnt letter is to give a general statement ., of the -difficulties jnd persecation I encountered , and should there be jp&ce in your valuable journal * ihatit may serre as an introduction to Boine " other addresses , more particularly for the benefit of ow Isish brethren .
On my aniTal 122 Belfast , 2 found the org * aiatlan of th « body there decidedly ineffective in taanv respects , in consequence of sot being incorporated with the Irish Universal SnfFrage Association , and ; not the least of the era * arising from this neglect , wasi the difficulty of getting the Ia-w on our own aide in aay $ ) an we sight adopt . Tet , at the « ame time , the persons who compose that body are nest sincere and ardent ' jn their attachment to the principle * of Chartism . I delivered iwo lectures to the members in their room , and at the ^ onehuiafi of the second , we eame to the reaolatiom of jetBDg up a mpre public meeting in tome large room , to beat a lecture on government by representation j [ i . Devlin promised ns the large room for this purnose ; and we according !; printed the bills advertisina
it In the meantime , however , certain Liberals wetted OT j > evtin * * fears * = < i prejudices , and employed the VTbig newspaper to publish » string of U » raortvillaaoos falsehoods respecting me and the legality of the ^ ssoci&iioD , for the treble purpose of injuring my chaoetcr with respectable individuals in th * town , frightpoing all persons from having any cenumtnication with jae or the Chartists , and to nrge the magistrate * to exert tyrannical power for the seppreasmg our meeting * . In lurer to this disgraceful attack I published an address to the working people . White the address was in the press , Devlin positively refused to fulfil hi *« agagexaeBE ; and when we notified our intention of holding the
meeting in our rooms at Miil-itrcet , we feasd that the jsag jstntes , by a course of wretched tricks and theattntnp had obtained the sanction of the person who let the roems , as an excuse for piaffing a body of petioemeB it the door , who denied every person ^ tiHtmiop . IS ' ot eontait "wifli this , but apparently for the purpose of exciting to a breach of the peace , I was followed wherever I went by several of those steel-armed -ruffians , particularly one Campbell ( I believe that is bis name ) and one ox two others in disgaise , who Van set to question the committee asd keep close to me . Tbey eepedally sought to find where our » ext meetings would be in order to break , them op in the same infamous way .
The next morning , the whole of th * Whig papers contained a repetition of the Norther * Whiff Ret , together with a large addition of falsehood - sad seam&ty , » d triumphant expressions of «»**«* "flpw ^ the foiling of our intentions , whilst the Conservative journals con taised bo reference to the affair ; and X must say that throughout the whole of it the Liberals of Belfast , as a body , bare purred themselves to be the reckless and unfeeling advocates of oppression , and that the papers is particular have shown that they an utterly unworthy of credit , and are merely tools in the hands of the worst and most crafty enemies of liberty . I am , Sir , Tour ' s , 4 c . Philip Bbjikhox .

wrong and shame if lost—all other crime * are sought to be kept secret . This exhibits itself Vitb ' .. instated ffcnsiyeness , and the oflfender is inaensibla . to the judgments of those whom he offends , mafrtwg that hj , loadcst boast whieB his every friend mint oondema . aa his greatest shame .

They first apparently invigorate , but if increased they overpower the whole frame , and ultimately produce a teaporaxri death . RepttMons of this kind sap ail the sources of health , and if the drunkard be not so fortunate as to obtain an apoplecUc fit . ia one 0 / his abuses , be lingers with aa emaciating frame through & long and painful decline to death , or changes his solid fibres for a mass of Woatsd COTroptiOB . He hat ho ' ease but in temporary suspen
sions of his sensations in the intervals of a thoajaaad deaths r he knows no pleasures but ia the swallowing of those poisons which inersase his disease and ulterior pains ; he beeomts his own tormentor , throughout his vrretcaed exUtence , and wars with the few pleasurable sensations which are the lot of svery man . I will not , cries he , know sensible pleasure or happiness ; I will be miserable ; I will gratify that passion which consci-« nce , that faithful monitor , assures me to be the source- of nothing bat distraction to myself , misery to those who are connected with me , and disgrace to all about me . It is thus , that Bin Bits in judgment on itself , and with the moat strict justice , apportions a puniabment equivalent to the offeac * . No maa ever abandoned himself to the vice , of drunkenness without fear , a fear like that » f a timoTousJboy , who is learning to swim , bat , who apprehending the danger and coldness of the water , first dips his foot , then his leg , and last-of all he plunges in his whole body . ,
That drunkenness is an art , and Is ' acqubed by habit , few , even of those who are practical drunkarda , will have the hardihood to deny , and it too often arises from the fact of the parents pressing the bitter cup to the unpolluted lip of their child , which habit in time gets confirmed" in their nature , and destroys their- health , wastes their estate , banishes their repntation , destroys their morals and religion , and ultimately destroys their immortal souls ; for it ia written "the drunkard shall sot it-herit the kingdom of God . " " Thus , drunkenness makes severe and unjust parent b—it mains our sons and daughter * contemn all paternal authority , and break the chains of modesty and chast y . There are in almost every-large town in Gret Britain , and Ireland places qf resort that may beteraed the " drunkard ' s nursery bat which ore called " free and easy . " The scenes that are witnessed in these places of riot and debauch , of blasphemy and profligacy , it is better to conceal than to bring them in words before the public eye .
These places are frequented by our youths ^ thousands of whom have not attained their sixteenth year ,, and who often loudly boast of hvring _ been drunk , and call such baonts places of pleasure j but surely that cannot be pleasure which will not bear reflecting , upon . Conscience has awoke thousands to a' sense of their degraded state ; and in order to avoid , a recurrence , of such misery and such scenes , they havi ' for a time abandoned their home , their kindred , their friends , real and pretended , and have gone 4 b seek , iu another country , that peace of mind whfeh they thought impossible to enjoy at home . They have then felt confident of having - permanent enjoyment ; but to be too confident of * success at the first outset of Ufe , naturally leads us to neglect 'What
experience teaches , that man can do nothing of himself , but should always keep before him the words of the wise man , " if . sinners , entice thee consent thoo now How many thousands are then , who under these circumstances have been enticed to drink ale and porter wits , the view of promoting their strength j bat this is a delusion in the extreme , for the gallon of porter brewed in London or Dublin , contains but one pennywort&of . solid food , and this too of the coarsest kind ; . so that fifteenpence is threwn away for-s host of evils , fattening the excise and rearing up as aristocracy , who are regardless of our waats and unfeeling oT our woes The amount of money "pent on this poison , may be calculated , by an inquiry , into the thousaadsof persons who are profitably engaged and living lexurioosly by
brewing , distilling , aad vending it . Tbe qaanUty of liquor to be sold to support one family may be safely calculated to be equal to . the pauperising and demoralising of at least one hundred , where labour is the only commodity to be given in exchange ; ererj pnblic-ho ' use may be taken as a sign of tfte immorality sad poverty of the people , lrho delegate a power to the keepers of these houses , and thereby swell the numbers of those who are opposed to Universal Suffrage ; let but tbe people become sober , and their legitimate rights will follow ; for the man who is unable to govern himself is much leas capable of governing a nation . Total abstinence is the steppingstone to universal liberty ; it is the only safe and effectual cure for drunkenness , and no man can say he
is sober unless he has banished from his lips all manner oi intoxicating drink . Let them cease to commit the crime of drunkenness , and time will assuredly cause them to detest it The Spartans , fat order to inspire their youths -with a taste for sobriety , used to make their servants drank on purpose to ex . hibit to them a faithful and living pietsre of the thaxaefol brutality with wbicb drnskeBBess is attended , which generally made a great impression on them . We are not reduced to try such experiments ; we have no occasion to make our servants drunk iu order to give oar children lessons of intemperance . So ; for Bumbers of our fellow dtixans act daily and of their own accord the very characters of these Spartan slaves , and aome there are who in the morning preach against Intemperance , and in the eveaing are themselves a proof
of tbe excess which arises from even tbe moderate use of intoxicating drink . Let the people everywhere give up the use of strong drink , and give the lie direct to . those who say they an too immoral and too ignorant to have the franchise conferred upon them , and who are daily bawling oat for more prisons , more barracks , and more churches , but not one word about more bread . Unless the people adopt some such measure as this , aad think and act for themselves , and * by so doing , remove burthens equally grievous with the burthens of the state , which press 00 heavily upon the working and poorer classes , who have long- and . continned labour with small remuneration , great misery , with want of adequate subsistence , all arising from no criminal neglect on their part , but from the want of the ( racchise , and adequate representation in the Commons ' House of Parliament .
Let but tbe monster intemperance be destroyed , and then what a pleasing picture may be drawn of the stat « 9 t society . Then ibould knowledge and religion fly through the land with a swiftness out-rivalling even imagination , breath'ng its balmy influence it to the heart and mind of every individual . Then should our peasants rejoice—then should they cause bonfires to be lighted on the summits of our mountains—then should commence a day of jubilee—a jubilee of peace , for that the monster intemperance and tyranny hath been destroyed—then shall our exiled sons and daughters return ; and oh ! how delightful it would be to hear them say , as they neared the shore of the land of their birth" Three cheers , now , for those who resist all our foes , Who drink not , nor give it to others ; Down , down with tbe enp . ' the vile custom break np , And in heart bound together as brothers . "
Pbter M . Bkophy , Secretary to tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association , No . 14 , North Anne-street , Dublin , December 13 tb , 1841 .

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN . ilT Lord , —Having in mj last letter presumed to point out to your Lordghip the value of a union betwixt the Irish Repealers and the English Chartists , I will now , with your Lordship ' s permission , proeeed to answer the objections contained in a letter from a lady resident in Dublin , and who has , notwithstanding the delicacy of her sex , contrived to write a very warm , if not a very cle-rsr defenee of your Lordship ' s principles . The fair scrivener has signed herself " Mary , " and I
must say , it is a pity the lady cannot see that her arguments are opposed to political reasoning . A timid man might feel a aervous sensation , or a philosopher would perhaps smile at the idea of contending with two such powerful opponents as my fair correspondent and her political idol , the sapient and dignified Lord Mayor of Dublin ; hat as I have bo pretensions to either qualification , I will take the liberty of inserting one or two extracts from the tottet of your fair champion , and which I have no hesitation ia saying , are with few exceptions , the opinions of the Irish generally . The following are amongst the most charitable : —
" Yon « cmld be a friend to your country wit&put belonging to a sect beld dishonourable . Although ' I like their writings asd their boldness , I cannot reconcile myself to a people , who , by every means in their power , expose oar Liberator . " "Recollect , tbe Chartists hive no God for their goMe , and bowean they be successful ? Be more aha , do not « rite to CComrell as a Chartist , beesase I aa persuaded he can never form a ' . good opinion of one . Yon know how much he Ought to hate a Chartist . " : ^ : v -Vow , -my Zatd , I would . like to ask ' . bawl . £ at any ' other' trianman could , serve hi * ^ ountfg better'tban by bilng a 'Chartist ? ' It > pjainalthqagh there are many catriotic ' mea . now living in . Ireland
¦ whWoald sacrifice ftfen thefc IJvea for fher igteresfc jhai ' st ^ il ^ a ^ 'impytBBt iit . jopnse g uence of . , roar ac * kn ^ rlrfged . iBflueTi ^ . which like . aa unhoij ap + g , tfce Irish fcrtipade to believe that to be a Cbaitlst ^ sjo btj trrsiiaWTrtth a dishonourable . name , as / fi ^ the .

' " . . , - , _ , Lrft , ' my Lord , because fhe Chartists have , told ; truth in such matters at those in which we fiad the . name of . a certain ^ Jew , " or many others which your " Lordship best knows at , that they are to be branded \ as dishonottrable ?
Surelyr tbe troth may be blamed , but your Lordshy will admit there is more dishonour in such acts than in the mere naming of them ; and yet this 1 b one of the mighty reasons why the Chartists are disliked by your

Lordship ' s adherents ., Alas ! time was when Irishmen oould distinguish betwixt ^ tenth . and ^ iaboBour ; bnt it seems as if their , powers of perception have forsaken them when thejreantrot eves sentey are the dupes of their owabttndcreduaty . What else but Infatuation cattptstesstpefepie who ttnblushtngly call Caartists infidels , and say " they hare no God for their guide 7 " „ . 0 I -wjse and . cunning Pharisee ' jo * well know tbe string to touch when jm play with the feelings of the iriah—you well know that of all things the ; cannot bear the sH « W ^ isolation on their religious creed , and would sacrifice Ufa , itself in its preservation or defenee ; and thus the row . of making them believe that tbe Chartist * have no God , is reeefod and acted upon wifckont even taking the trouble 'to ' Inquire whether the
assertion be true or false . Is this generous , my Lord , tofirst set . your hand fc the Charter , and then torn round and anathematise the very principle which you helped to bring Into existence ? Your Lordship must know that a system which is based upon charity , aad which baa for its object the promotion of liberty aad happiness to the people , cannot U iijeUgtousa - system which offers resistance to tyranny , misrule , and monopoly , and which works on yonr Lordship ' s plan > ot " legally and constitutionally , ) " and which embraces me * nt all sects and creeds , and holds out the handof feMowshlp to all , ( not even excepting your Lordship , ) caanot be allied to infidelity . Ohi no , my Lord ; the Chartists' are practical Christians—their motto is that of the good Samaritan ; and
they would fain poor-wiae and oil into the wounds of their bleeding country , and place her beyond the reach of poverty and misery . These being our principles , I cannot see . as my fair correspondent states , that you should have any reason to " hate" a GhartUt , for , if yonr Lordship is truly a Christian , you cannot bate any man , or set of men , were they even your avowed enemies , whieh the Chartists are not ; nor do I wish your Lardship to believe that I am less a member of that chuich , in which your Lordship professes , altheogh I have the honour to be a Chartist in name and principle . Your good opinion of Chartists , my Lord , must depend on Chartists themselves ; and I now ask your Lordship if they deserve to be represented as yonr fair friend has pictured' them 7 Thejfact is , if ever the
Chartists were in fault , it was owing to the influence of secrtt service money , and designing Individuals , whose interest . or gain it was to ensnare them . Thus , then , I bold it to be unjust to brand them with a character which every Chartist in England and Ireland disclaims as much as your Lordship . What wonld your Lord * Ship say to the man who Would charge you or the Irish people with being lawless » nd violent in your political conduct ? : You would repudiate th » charge ; and yet , if we compare cases , we will find that more lives have been sacrificed in Ireland in tithe struggles and such like , than ia any Chartist struggles whatever . Your Lordship may say the people were defending their property irom the rapacious plunderers of the ehurch , but Chartists can say they were protecting their rights , natural and political ; and , if they erred , it was not to much their fault as that of their oppressors . Your Lordship may say you went astray , and were Influenced by the Charter . If so , tbe Irish who suffered
have gone astray also , as they were ' influenced by your advice aad example . It is not , however , my intention to hold a contention with your Lordship . I have no object in vi « w , save as aa Irishman , and one who loves his country as hi * life , to awaken her to a sense of the benefits which might be derived front a union of the two great parties , toe " Chartists and the Repealers , " or in other words , the people of Ireland . And u yonr Lordship possesses bo unbounded an influence over them , that yon may be led to see not only the value bat tbe necessity of such a union . I have no interest in thus trespassing on your Lordships' time . I am a free agent , and what I do for the cause of Liberty , I do without fee or reward , nor do I hope for any , save the pleasure arising from the convic tion that I havs dose my duty to my God , ' my country , and myself . I hare the honour to be , Your Lordships most obedient Humble servant , W . H . Clifton .

TO THE WORKING MEN OF BELFAST , EXPOSING THE HYPOCRICY AND FALSEHOOD OF ITS PRETENDED u LIBERALS , " Bbkthren , —Despised and cruelly-treated slaves of the enfranchised classes ! permit me to offer a few observations to you , in self-vindication . In the spirit of a man deeply affected with the sight of your sufferings , and indignant at the efforts made by your masters to protract them , let me implore you to seek that political power which will best enable you peaceably to resist their unfailing oppression ; and join with your British brethren in advocating the People ' s Charterthus effecting a union with which all the power of tbe ruling classes cannot successfully cope .
The business -which brought me to Belfast was altogether professional and private ; but I hold it my duty , as a man and as a Christian , to proclaim the causes of popular misery , and the way of political salvation , at all times and places , and at erery tUk ; and , therefore , was and still am determined faithfully to discharge this portion of my duty . But , on enquiring for a place suited to this purpose , I found that the halls you hare built are insolently closed by their little-minded " proprietors" against every one who possesses honesty enough to assert the equal rights of all , in opposition to gross tyranny and monopoly ; whilst they are opened wide to every hired political juggler—for every childish show or play , that may terre to amuse your "
super iors , " or divert your own attention from the serious consideration of your real interests . I shall not , however , condescend to dilate on the contemptible , petty opposition with which I have met , nor the trickery which has been ressrted to , to exclude me from any fitting place for a public meeting ; but warn you , toat tbe parties calling themselves " upper ranks of society" in this country especially , do now , as they have for centuries past , all that lies ia their power to convert yon into tools by which to work out their flagitious designs , deluding you with high-sounding , but undefined promises and speculations ; iBflamiagyour passions , and with fiend-like truculenoe exciting ia your breasts feelings of personal animosity towards all who are opposed to tb « m in opinion .
Deeply convinced of these truths , and desirous of contributing to give a higher moral tone to the politics of the day , I offered to discuss with the Repealers the differences which exist between them and the Chartist body , and the virulent aspersions they cast upon us , with tbe view of healing dissensions and promoting mutual respect That discussion , however , was declined ; and I now solemnly call on them , henceforth to abandon the allegations they are not prepared to maintain ; and no longer to plant a hatred of their fellows in tbe bosoms of men who have not the means of testing the truth . If they do not , it will be another proof bow utterly foolish it it is to advocate any change but that which will give tbe workiig men the power of mating laws for their own interests .
I called on a mill-owner , who , I understand , professes agreement with S . Crawford , on radical points , but with as great a destitution of good manners as of common sense—he said be " would have nothing to do with a Chartist ; " he might . have added to complete the sense— " who is not possessed of wines and lands , like tbe holder of Crawford ' s-bwn . Bat this character uniting hollow professions with a real determination to oppose the establishment of your rights , I do not hesitate to assert belongs to too large a portion of those who have hitherto foisted their pretended radicalism on your too confiding minds .
But I wish to call your attention more particularly to a paragraph in The Northern Whig of Thursday , headed" Chartism in Belfast , " which is a mere tissue ef lies , and clumsy inuendoes , written with the intention of conveying the mo » t catting insult , bat which the writer , fortunately for himself , had not talent eoongh to accomplish . The first lie is , that the Chartists here meet in a public-house—the second lie is , that I acknowledged being paid , an assertion that I am * s b * ae and indolett as agitators of their own party , who receive wages for gulling tbe people : an ! the third that I am an " agent , " meaning by that to tell you I am a delegate , so as to . frighten you from having any connexion with mej
Now , I solemnly aver , that I nevtr have received , asd never intend to accept so much as a single farthing for teaching , preaching , or lecturing on either politics orreligien ; and farther that I have acted solely from a sense of duty , and have not been deputed in any way , by any person , or any body of individuals whatever . But more than this , I trust whilst I have health I will live by hard labour , andtbatl scom to exist like a Whigling Editor , the wretched panderer to a faction , and the base tool of a body of avaricious men , wh 6 wantonly misguide tbe public , that they may fatten on the delusion ; and still more would I loathe a subsistence , obtained like that of-too many mUl-pwnera , ; by reducing their fellow-beings to starvation , rags ,
fiithiness , and misery—themselves wallowing in luxury and inflated with disgusting ; pride ,. whUsTthe wxetohsjd vfctimi ' of their avarice are sinking into Uie grave , under tbe accumulated diseases and galling wantoriginated by the brutal factory system .

Dufour , in answer to all persuasions to discover his accomplices , resolutely expressed his deternjinatiou not to dirulge the names of any ; parties whom he knew to have been in the congpiraoy duenisset continues to assert thai ; there were more
than sixty persons at Colombjer ' s . He was , he said , sold and betrayed by the republicans , and would willinclV surrender his bead , to mark with his blood their clothes , in order that their red mark might be known to all . At the end of the day ' s proceedingj , the procureur-general made his requisitory . He stated that , as regarded Ricul , he would refer hia oase to the prudence of the court ; and he did the same as to the amount of punishment to be awarded to Boucheron , Boggio , Martin , Charles , and Foageray . With respect to the other prisoners , he persisted in calling for the severity of the law . .

m BIGOTRY AKD INTOLERAKCE vernt RBASON . TO THE EDITOa OP THJt SOiTHBas 5 IA 3 U Six , —I shall offer no apology for sending yon the foQowiBg to insettktt in your columns . My opinions raipectisg the remedies secessary for the present horrid state of afialrs , differ bom yonr own , but we are not necessarily enemlea oa that account ; on the contrary , I believe tfaat to the ChartiiU and . Socialist * the old ssytog , that the nearer two parties approach each other 1 b their views , the greater their enmity , w 21 . net apply . Whether it does or does not , your paper is the organ of a parry struggling , like ourselves , to keep-the coney for the mating bees , ana not allow it to be dtvoared fey the drones , md the producers of it starved and murdered by their heartless rulers ; and as such its pages , I conceive , « re open to the exposure of every few ^ r **"" of tyranny , whether practised towards your own , or any other party .
Tbe drcanstanees I have to relate concern the arrest *» d imprisonment of Charles Southwell , late Sedal Hissonary , and Editor of a periodical entitled the Orade of Beaton , devoted to the development of certain views of bis ova , entirely independent of any party , he having left th * Social body that be may sit embarrass them or he embarrassed . The fourth number contained an article upon the Bible , which he termed ' The Jew Book ; " sad though the language was severe , and stronger perhaps than had ever previously been used in relation to that book , still they were its feetiagsin respect 10 it when considered as a guide to humanity ; and in justice be ought sot to have been forcibly interfered
with in his eipreaaien of them . Are not all the books , papers , and periodicals issuing daily and hourly from the printing offices of the whole world sufficient to defend tbe faith of tbe mmltitwJe from tbe attacks of oas little paper advocating the views of dm Individual only 7 Are not all tbe sermons preached , and the anatkemas fnfmfMtari from all the pulpits of tbe four quarters of the globe , against disbelief , with the prayers of the faithful to boot , sufficient for the purpoae , without having recourse to iron-handed law ? Cannot religion defend herself without wedding that shame-faced strumpet , whose favours can be bought with any nan ' s money ? If she be not in a position to do it , she oagM to be , and her weakness ia bet disgrace .
Hoping you win excuse tins digression , I will again proceed ; my friend ' s arrest took place on Saturday , Nevember 27 th , too late to permit of our providing bail before civic business dosed . On Monday two parties were tendered as securities , and after twenty-four hours takes by the authorities- to make inquiries , one of them was refused . Mark how ingeniously they contrive to evade the ends of justice : a poHceman Is employed to ask the tteighbortrs of the tendered ball whether they know how much the former are worth , and their replies decide the question of liberty or imprisonment . SnbGeqnesUT , however , other bail was oSsnd , and n <| Utries made , when , alas ! this man had not paid bis i * je * 1 1 lost no time in learning the reason , when I found it originated in a mistake respecting the time for
appealing . They were paid the next day , and after twenty-four hours additional delay—they rejected him . Ons of the baO had freehold property , without incumbastes , wMth more than £ 1500 ; and tbe other can swear himself possessed of more than double the amount of the bond . But this is justice , justice . Charles Southwell has now been confined in a cold cell , under the silent system , for upwards of a fortnight : when had the bail been accepted he would only have been there lor a few days . He is treated like a felon ; sleeps apon a straw maUrass , with two blankets aad a rug ; and a stone floor to his cell , which is as cold as bigots charity : he is locked up about half-past four sun . * when his clothes are taken from him , and not returned before half-put six am ., when be has first to put his bed furniture in order , and then to march to promenade , in
holes made for the purpose ; at eight he has some water gruel , and bread in every way werthy to keep it compas j- ; after this he has a kind of second breakfast of pra ; ers , which , under such firpumstances , is enough to bring the first off his stomach . His dinner , with a pint of beer , is conveyed him by bis friends , and in the evening more bread and more gruel are doled out , and so he goes on day after day . He ha * been allowed two books besides the Bible—Seoeca ' a Morals and Dr . Wiseman ' s Catbolie Lectures , -which , however , were at tat refused him . Hia friends can communicate with him by letters , subject to inspection , and one person only can see him three Htn <* a week tat about four or fi * e minutes , with a couple of turnkeys by his elbow during the interview . Some of your own friends have bad reason to complain of similar treatment , I believe .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —You will , see by the insertion of tbe list ot Bub-Secretaries In to-day's Star , that I have given you the truth , the . whole- truth , and nothing but the truth , as regards the number of places in the Association . . There must no longer be any delay on the part of the sub-Secretaries that have not sent in their addreasea aa ytt , to dp " . so immedlate . ly . Qod knows thei amount of labour that has now to be exercised by the Chartist body Is truly severe . Several letters have been received by me , wishing that the Executive had the means to employ a number of talented and useful exponnders of the great ; principles of Chartism . If sneh were the case , that fifty lecturers oould besentiqto the agricultural districts , what a change might be effected in twelve months' time . ? , As it is , our
progress , with our . limited means , is sjmestmimciilons , when we takelnto consideration the terrible opponents we have had to contend against * But even these obstacles would lie , easily overcome * were we united as brothers amongst ourselves . ,. ; Anc ^ here let me remarks that certain parties in Birmingham have talked about censuring the . Executive because Messrs . George White and Mason ' s names were not ofliolally announced as candldatea for the forthcoming convention . ' : Mow , let me inform that individual , ' if he can point out from whom , when , or where I have received any official letter requesting the insertion of their names on the list , I am perfectly willing that I should be oensured . I have received a letter from Bradford , to know
wky Messrs . West and Binns ' s names are not on the list ? My answer is the same to the Bradford letter . I have beard some persons say that Mr . Doyle has been nominated for-Iiancashlre ; bat as I have not had any ofticial communication on the subject , consequently I cannot Insert bis name unless I am officially informed of the same . I see by Saturday ' s Star that Mr . Richards has been put In nomination as a candidate-, but bow can I officially announce their hamea unless I receive official Instructions ' on th * subject ? And here let me remark , that I am personally acquainted with Messrs . West , Doyle , White , and Mason ; that I know them to be sterling democrats , and that I should have
been glad to have their names on the list'bad I received written Instructions to do so . Mr . Binns Idondtknow personally ; bat from the character 1 have read of him 1 am quite sure he is as worthy a man as any of the rest I sent If r . Maynard ' s name to the SUr last week for insertion In the list of condidatea for London ! I have carefully looked the Star over , but cannot find his name mentioned : nor do I blame the Sidrtpr any neglect , no , on the contrary , I am sure itbaa been' over-looked in the vast amount of business that has to be transacted I think I have shewn justifiable cause for acting as I have , and for the future when any Member feels at a loss on any subject , let him write to me , and if possible , be shall &ave the desired information . '
The means of emancipating the unenfranehtsed were never more within the grasp of the people , than at the present time . The system adopted by Mr . Pinderwith his blacking , will be a more powerful lever in the hands of the Chartists than . they are awajre of . A shoemaker in Hull is following the example of Mr . Pinder . My own opinion of exclusive dealing Is this , that the shoes , the bat , the clothes I wear , are all made by Chartists . But mind you , my friends , 1 would not lay out my money on a Chartist , unless I received a * much value for tt , from him , aa from any body else-Now , it is my pinion that Mr . Pinder , and men in any other line of business , who will act like him , ought to receive the support of the Chartists , so long as their ar ticles are as good and aa cheap as the articles of other individuals , who perhaps are our bitterest enemies .
By supporting these men in a short time yon would have funds enough to employ any number ot lecturers you thought proper . The receipts this week front Mr . Pinder to the Executive are £ 10 s 7 jd . What think you of that ? And now , my friends , I must point out two or three trifling errors in the balance sheet . The amount accounted for in the receipts is £ 184 6 * . lOjd . ; £ B . i . But by errors in the Type setting , the actual amount In the sheet is ... 187 10 5 j Sheffield , omitted ... 10 0 Wanington , omitted ... ... ... 0 0 4 Newton Heath , omitted ... ... ... 0 0 4 Portses , omitted ... ... 0 10 0 Wotton-under-Bdge , omitted ... ... 0 5 0 Proceeds of a lecture , per Wheeler , 55 , Old Bailey ... ... ... 0 9 0 £ 189 15 0 Deduct : — £ b . d .

Brethren , our position la a proud one : we are now in a better position than the democrats of Great Britain were ever in before . 299 localities in the association la something to boast of .
