At length the crisis had arrived—it is the last drop "which makes the cup overflow . The people had patiently borne slavery—the utter privation of all their rights—the cruel infliction of every wrong : thousands of them were damning , cut of work , and those in work were receiving most inadequate 'wa ^ es ; yet with the scanty pittance which oppression and extortion left to them , they had not only to maintain themselves , bat to maintain their aged parents , to keep theoi one of the bsstile , that human pinfold where the psor aro put , sot to feed , but to starve , They were moreover compelled to j > ay towards the maintenance of those who weTe unable to keep cut of the bastile ; and compelled moreover to pay Church and Staie dues ; for the working men
have to keep both rich and poor . Guess , th ^ a , ye who Lave not felt it , guess the heavy load which those who hJbofir hard had to bear ? guess what they must- ha ^ e felt for their famines and friends ' . "Weil slight Parliament admire their fortitude and forbearance ; well miftht Government express its sympathy for their suffering ?; well might the Queen go abou : a begging for them . The people though racked body and soul to the utmost stretch of endureacc ; though nature was ready to sin \ c under their tonncnta , were patieat—they were forbearing ; they exhibited a decree of magnanimity never before equalled by aortal man—never surpasstd but by the immortal gods . Prometheus smiling serene while the tiernal vulture is gnawing his heart , can
alone ba a S ; emblem of the people of England . Bu ; this was not enough . It was no ; enough that the working man was we&ring kimself out before his time with unrequited toil , and , after labouring hard ali day in vain , was doomed to hear the Eioins of an heartbroken wife , and the piteous cries of children sobbingfor food . All this was not enough . Ali Cijuid no ; melt—could not soften—the bean of avarice , hardening itself amid the luxuries which the pD ^ r sufferers had earned for it . The millowners came to the determination to reduce the wages of their oppressed men still further , eo tiiat the most remote zn-- uncertain chance—the merest possibiiiyof a ] ire ; ihood should be cut off , and on the gates of England , a > on the gate of hell , should be written ,
" 2 so hope dwells here . " Patience itself was turned into passion by this . The workmen struck ;—they ibrewdu ^ u their tools in despair;—thxy joined their cnemploy t d brethren j—they forced the poor creatures ibat ye : clung to their employment to come out with them ; ; h « . j stopped the mills ; those busy hives of human industry buddenly became still as the house of death . Ths water was let cff . the fires were put out ; : o-l depirtc-d ; machinery slept ; every wheel was Eu-. e , was moiionirss . Tte strike commenced , but who origii »< it-id it ' . Not the men 1 Who were in reality the strikers ?—Tse nailers J It was the Corn Law Kt-pealers who struck ; for , said they , if the G jTcri . aeni will eci repeal the Corn Lawi , we will reduce wages to the ccntinensal level , that go we may compete with foreigners , keep up custom , aixd inaka fortunes as usual . Ah ' . they did
coi thins bow the men were to live , who have to cempste wiih foreigners not for fortunes , bu ; for food . But mark the cowardly cunning of the millowners , they were resolved to strike I ? a ; ns : Government because i ; would not give « p the l- 'ud-moncpolj—they were resolved to strike , but hoT ? No : by closing their mills as they had threatened—that was too bold , too direct a scheme ; but by an attempted reduction of wages , a plan vroTtby of thera . They did not turn out their mm , but they forced the mea to turn themselves out , and thus laid the responsibility on the men and the biarae on Government . The men were to be driven to desperation iha . s they might commit outrages which should terrify Government into submission to ' their masters wishes ; but the masters reckoned without tceir host—without the men . The men had worked
for their caters , but they resolved that they woald not S ^ ht fcr then—they resolved that their ¦ eu-ike should no : be a mere blow for faction—that they TfOiila 2 vi be made the mere tools of Corn Law Bepealers-thej resolved to strike , not for their jaaije-s , but fi > r themselves ; not for the interests of otberi , but fcr their own interests ; not for Corn Law Repeal , but for the Charter . Finding that the strike was likely to extend further than they intended it ; itzi it would te a s : rike against themselves as against ali other grinding avaricious tyrants , they would ia-D have £ 01 the men to work again . But once out , they w-rc resolved not to return without _ their rights . The iio : e had ccme when God him ? elf

to soothe whoa they ccrud not Eare ; witnessing tho £ o ceire ;; to then : expiring without medicine , without focJ or cc : afor ; of any kind—themselves locked in siupour ; but they hear the shouts of the turn-cuts : —they start up ; they leave the dying and the dead ; they dash array the tear of unavailing woe ; they » 5 gh eo ircre ; they rise ; they rush out ; the terrible energy of despair gives them new strergih ; ihe hope of vengeance re-animates them wiih iresh vigour ; they ciench their hands ; they set their teeth ; they dran- a long breath , and a curse " no ; leud , tut deep , " comes forth ; they swear they V hare vengeance on their oppressors .
__ Lancashire shouted " Work no more !"—Starford-ECire echoed the cry—Yorkshire reverberated it on every hill , and the cry was cirriei from mouth to mouth , from town to town , from county to county ; still it rose , " Work no mere ! well work no more I " C To he concluded in our nezl . ) .

youngett son of Shah Soojoh , and Atta Mahomed . The notion of flndirjg Ota British commander sufficiently -wraksned by the separation of hia forces , proved a wesfal mistake . Two native regiments , the 42 d sad 43 d , with artillery , were sent out to attack them , followed by the Queen ' s 41 st and Anderson ' s guns . The Afghans -were driven from . Berne heights they had occupied , and having blocked np a pass in the kills in their fight , a severe slaughter was indicted by the British artillery and infantry , want of caTalry alone preyenting the destruction from being more complete . Prince Suftur Jang , one of tbe chiefs , on the 19 th of June , deserted by hia followers , surrendered as a prisoner .
Orders having been given by the Governor-General to form a large ' army of reserve , " 20 , 000 Btrong , in the district of Sirhind ( the Seikh frontier ) under the Commander-in-Ciiief , Sir Jasper NichoL The object of this measure ia made the ground of numberless speculations . By some it is thought a precautionary measure to overawe the Seikhs , wh » are alleged to have shown symptoms of defection , 'while others maintain the totally opposite opinion , that the Seikhs are to take the Affshan war off our hands , and make a territorial dismemberment of the contumacious borderers , backed by the British from within the frontier . A reinforcement of 7 , 000 Saikhs , under Colonel Golab Singh , had joined General Pollock at JelLilabad , which certainly does not look like bad faith on the part of the ruler of Lahore .
At Cabal the Affghatss are said to be divided among themfielves , some being eager for forming conventions and terms of amity with the British . Thi delays In the movement towards Cabul , since the passage of the Kbyber denies by General Pollock ' s force , had been rather advantageous to Akhbar Khan , who , having placed his British prisoners in safa custody at soma distance from Cabul , proceeded to attack the Bala Hissar , ia which Fatteh Jung , the third son of Schah Soojah , who is looked upon as attached to the alliance- with the British , had defended himself and his father ' s treasures ¦ with ability . The report of money being collected in the Bala Hissir roused the cupidity of Akhbar Khan and hk followers ; they , therefore , laid seige to that fort , and completed a large mine under one of the bastions , which they blew up with such want of skill as to kill numbers of their own men . The Arabs , or
best soldiers in the service of Fatteh Jang , being alarmed for their families , of which they dreaded the filanghter from the murderons propensities of Akbbar Khan and his partisans , and terrified by the news that the British had blown np the fortifications of Kbelat-a-Giilzee , prior to their final retreat from the country , induced their young Sovereign , however much against his will , to surrender himself , and his fort , and his treasures te the tender mercies cf the notorious Akhbar . It is taid , however , that no atrocities succeeded the capture , bat that thb Koan offered honourable terms to Futteh Jong , leaving him invested witk the chief nominal power , and appointing himself Vzl . It is supposed that the British prisoners bad been removed from the Tezeen valley , and taken by Akhbar Khan bvvond , near , or within the Bala Hi&sax , for the suppositions yary in all wars .
CHINA . The news from Chin 3 is marked by fresh Tictories of tbe British forces , who bad advanced from Chinhae on the 15 th of March , under General Sir Hugh Gough and Admiral Parker , upon a large Chinese force which had gathered together on a strong position near the city of Tsckee , about twenty miles from Ningpo . The force was conveyed sixteen miles np thi river by the steamers and boats , and then marched rlvo miles to the city . Sir Henry Pottinger's circular gives the following summary of ihe action : —
" The chief body cf the British troops , &c , marched round outside the town , and were joined at the east gate by the eEcalading party , where the whole had an excellent view of the Chinese forces intrenched o& two distinct lofty hills in front and on the left . Arrangements were directly made forauvascing to attack and dislodge them as nearly as possible at the same instant This maxctii . vre succeeded admirably , at * d although the enemy disputed the possession of their steep and difficult position so obstinately that many instances of hanl to baud combat occurred , her Majesty ' s forces gallantly aad steadily persevered in their ascent under an unceasing fire , until their summits were gained , and the rout of the Chinese army became complete at all poii . ts , and was followed np by a purtuit which was continued till sanseU
" Whilst these operations were going on npon the heights , the small tteamers ( Phlegethon and Nemesis ) , accompanied by some of the boats of her Majesty ' s ships , proceeded by a branch of tbe main river leading in the direction of the intrenched camp , where they destroyed a number cf gun-boate , and fire vessels ; and shortly after , on the fugitives from the Chinese camp pr-ssing near them , they land « d their small crews , and pursued them ia various directions , putting ft camber hors dt combat . " It is estimated that the enemy conld not have lost fewer than l , 0 u 0 men killed in these different affairs , indeptndsnt of great numbers that were carried off wounded , and amongst whom are known te have been many mandarins and officers of rank .
" Her Majesty ' s plenipotentiary has not received the return cf casualties in her Majesty ' s land forces , tut he regrets to mention teat three were killed and fifteen wounded ( most of them severely ) in the Naval Brigade . " The British forces remained the night of the 15 th in the Chinese deserted camp , and the sex ; day , after the nec&Hsaxy delay of embarking th « wounded , destroyed the guns , wall pieces , and matchlocks , as well as the useless provisions and ammunition ; and burning the camp and barracks , the Commander-in-Chief pushed forward to a second entrenched camp about seven miles from Tsekee , at the Changhe pass ; bat it was found that it hsA been evacuated daring the night , and after destroying the works , and bamirjg everything that was igniuble , including the Joss-house and otber buildings , which had been converted into magazines or barracks , her Majesty ' s forces retorned to Tsekee the same evening , and to Ningpo on the 17 th .

THE CAMPAIGN . The struggle still lasts ; the weavers are still unwilling to starve quietly to death at work ; they still think that they may as well die of famine in the streets as in the mills . Never was the viperous power of capital more basely exercised , and its nature more glaringly exhibited , than in this instance . After every effort to goad and drive the people into acts of violence which might
furnish a pretest for slaughtering them has been foiled by the prudence and forbearance of the people , even the very sympathies and kindly feelings of humanity are fiercely warred with by the monsters that the labourer may be trodden down . The pres 3 teems with remonstrances to shopkeeper ? , publicans , and others , upon the folly and wickedness of giving money or provisions to the starving Etrugglers against the vampire power of wealth ; and that no means might be lacking to cut off the supplies , the following proclamation has been posted upon the walls of Manchester : —
" Whereas parties are going about on the highways and streets for the purpose of begging and collecting contributions ; notice is hereby given to all such persons , that the above practice is illegal ; and the constables are hereby requested to take immediate steps for the apprehension of all persons gailty of such offence , in order that they may be dealt wiih according to kw . " The above document is signed by a number of ilaglttrates who are principally manufacturers , and members of the League .
And thus do the " authorities" of a civilized and Christian country give evidence that they regard the peaceful asking of their neighbours for as much of bread as may stay famine , in return for labour , as a warlike declaration . They look upon the poor weavers , seeking an advance of wages , as an eaemy ' s army , whom it is their duty to harass at all points , and vthen they can't force them into battle , to starve to death , by " cutting off their supplies . "
Never was a more heartless , cold-blooded , abrogation of everything which should pertain to human nature , than this proclamation of the Manchester millocrat magistrates . Bat if the country—if the shopkeepersif every man who is not a millocrat and a magistrate , be not as heartless and cold-blooded as the men whose names appear to this document ; the infamous proclamation will proclaim merely the impotence of those who issued it .
The poor *• lads , " noble fellowB I are still not discouraged ; they axe too determined to give in , and too prudent to permit a villainous advantage to be taken of them . The proclamation has therefore been responded to bj the following" address of the power loom weavers and overlookers , to the trades in general , and the sympathizing public : — " We , the General Committee , in appealing to the sympathy of our friends , 'wish It most distinctly to be understood that we shall consider it car duty to carry
out those plans most conducive to oar cause . We axe sorry to find , in doing so , we shall haTe to lay before a generous public the proceedings of the authorities of this tewn , as they are using any and evdry means in their power to compel us , either by starvation or intimidation , to return te our labour at the reduced prices . No sooner had we formed oar plans for soliciting your aid , indeed before we could get this circular into type , than they issued a placard to defeat our object ; and in this placard we are entirely prohibited from soliciting roar

aid , —yet we hope you Will , by your actions , show to them and to all out eneraies the plnloa you entertain of their proceedings—ar . d show to the publio at large , that you are determined to ' Stand by the cause of the poor . ' " It is the intention of the Committee to keep from all collision with those who may wish to monopolize our rights . And therefore we lay before you the subject as it stands , requesting those parties who can make it a matter of convenience , to bring to the Committee whatever their generosity may thiiik proper ; and those who
cannot , will be kind enough to signify their intention to tho individuals whom we authorise to call for this circular , and in order to detect any fraud , they will exhibit to you an ' impress' by the same stamp as that on this circular ; all that do not are imposters , and such as we do not recognise . The time and place of ear meeting is from ten in tbe morning , until two in the afternoon ; and from six to nine in the evening , at Mr . Fallows ' B Temperance Hotel , Oak-Btreet , Swan-street , Manchester . " By Order of the Committee . "
This appeal , simple , touching , and eloquent in its simplicity , needs no commendation to those who have hearts to feel ; they will take care that the starving camp shall not be broken np by famine ; that the rich shall not thus heartlessly and mercilessly lord it over the poor . If this does not try the temper and character of the middle classes , nothing will . We have lately had much fuss about their sympathy with the poor , and about the necessity of a union with them to ensure general prosperity . We shall see by the manner in which this appeal is answered at what rate they themselves value such a union . ' ^ fc ^ 'if !

« * ' HOW TO CONVICT LEACH . It is seldom that tyranny lacks long the tools wherewith to work , in its vocation of destroying publio liberty . There are always to ha found enow of scamps , fools , or traitors , who , for the sake of gain , or to indulge their spiteful personal malignity * or to shew off their powers of discrimination , or from the combined action of all these motives , will ( either knowingly or unknowingly ) , do its bidding with most mischievous alacrity . If the object of tyranny be to obtain , against some thorn
in faction ' s side , a legal conviotion of Borne alleged offence , no matter how baseless may be the accusation , there are two ways by which the object sought may be attained . One is , the procuring and adducing of suoh evidence as , true or untrue , shall bring home the charge , and furnish a colourable substantiation . The other is the so placing of the matter before that class of society from whioh the Jury comes as necessarily to induce a confirmed opinion and foregone conclusion on the matter before they come to the trial at all .
We know few men who have more sorely pestered faction than James Leach . His quiet firmnefs of character , and his unanswerable argumentative lectures , alike annoying to the trade monopolists on the one hand , and to the land monopolists on the other , exposing the conspiracy of each party , and the joint conspiracy of both parties , to rob labour of its due reward , and to appropriate the produce of industry , have made Leach an object not less of fear than hatred to both Whigs and Tories . They have been long panting for his de-Etruction . Nor has he stood alone in the truly enviable position of being thus the " marked man" of faction . The bold uncompromising energy of
M'Douall , raising the Bpirit of the people by declamation as Leach enlightened their judgment by argument and statistical inquiry , caused him to be not less feared , and not less hated . Never was auspicious moment waited for more anxiously than that whioh should giro these two men into the power of faction . Others there were , especially Cooper and White , who in their own localities , had the merit of being just as muoh feared and hated ; but Leach and M'Douall , as members of the Executive , had a more general and extensive field of operation , as well as a more important and responsible position ; and it might be reasonably expected , therefore , that more anxiety would be manifested to clutch them .
There never was on our minds a doubt ( and if there had been the events of the last month would have surely served to dissipate it ) that the " strike" was a deep plot : one of its objects being to throw the meshes of a net around the Chartist Leaders , and especially around these men . Whether or no we have been right in that opinion is , to our present subject of inquiry , unimportant . In any case the opportunity was too good to be neglected . Amid the confusion created by the " League " scoundrels , Leach and M'Douall must be laid hold of : and means must be had whereby to ensure their
destruction . And to effeot this both the means above spoken of have been brought into requisition . Direct evidence has been sought to be established against Leach , by means of foul , deliberate , and notorious perjury . The wretch , M'Kehna , swearing with all circumstantial minuteness , to facts which thousands knew to have no existence but in his own invention ; while the two boys , apprentices of Turner , are , in defiance of the constitution and of al l law upon the subject , in defiance of all honesty , and to the shameless robbery of their master , kept up in prison , doubtless that they may be drilled and
schooled , and teased , and tortured into the parrotting of Euoh statements as shall be manufactured for them , or insinuated into them , for the purpose of ensuring the conviotion , not so much of their own master , as of Leach and M'Douall , upon the paltry , blackguard charge of " conspiracy" in reference to the alleged seditious and inflammatory document . The wretches have stnse enough to see that , after all , they may fail . The perjurer , M'Kejwa , falls far short of doing all that is wanted to be done . He manages , even if his perjury be swallowed , only to
prove Leach ' s presence at a meeting in Carpenters ' Hall , where he exhorted the people to be peaceable . His evidence (!) does not at all touoh M'Douall . The two are wanted , and wanted to be destroyed at once . Hence the placard , issued by some one in the name of the Executive , is laid hold of &a a god-send ; and though there is nothing in the document that any honest man could call seditious , that is a matter of no consequence : they will find no difficulty in making it seditious , if they can but succeed in fathering its authorship and publication upon Leach and M'Douall . And hence the falsa and
illegal imprisonment of Mr . Turner ' s boys—an outrage eo glaring , that it has called forth even from the Tory Morning Herald the following strong and very just expression of opinion : — "A man named Tamer is charged with haying printed a seditious placard . * * i ^ fa man it appears , had two apprentices , who were also seized by the police ; not as particeps criminis wita their master , but as witnesses against him . They are seiaed , and
secluded under lock and key ; without any charge whatever Bgainst them , and for the avowed purpose of torturing them by imprlsoinnint into a proper frame of mind for disclosing the supposed secrets of their master ' s business . Let it be observed that there was no magistrate ' s warrant for this , and that Sir Charles Shaw , the chief Police Commissioner of the district , denies all knowledge of it ; and yet by one of the subaltern officers under the contronl of himself and Mr . Maude , has this gross outrage been committed .
"Now one would have thought that Mr Maude would have stepped a little oat of the line of bis strict duty , if it was necessary , to have brought that kidnapping policeman to Mb senses ; for the fool in his over-anxiety to secure , has taken the surest means to thwart the ends of publio justice . He is poisoning the very evidence he is so anxious to preserve immaculate ; for no juryman , with a grain of sense , would convict a master upon revelations extorted from his apprentices by arbitrary imprisonment . No jurymaa , who under stands his doty to ' well and truly try , ' would bane a
dog upon evidence mo procured . The excuse is , that if the apprentices were allowed to be at large , they might be "tampered with ; ' but is there any tampering like that of tbe lock and key t We care not whether these youths are being dieted into the truth upon prison fare , or whether they are being fattened into confession upon roast beef and strong beer . Any way and every way in whioh the ease may be turned , it has a bad aspect ; and Mr . Maude must be judicially blind not te have seen what an ugly look it must have in the eyes of every ^" gM'tr ^ ftni "
Nothing can be clearer than the object of the false imprisonment of Mr . Tubmeb ' s boys . It is that , right or wrong , they may be made to implicate Leach and M'Douall in the issuing of this address . That done , the work of tyranny is done ; as they themselves will give to tbe address whatever cha-
Untitled Article
racter they please to asoribe to it . But the rogues may fail in this ; there is yet no evidence that either Leach or M'Douall had anything whatever to do with that address ; and it may be that even Mr . TuBNB& ' s boys may be proof against all the infernal manoeuvering and management to which they are subjected . The attempt to obtain direct evidence may fail ; and therefore the next best means for Beouring a verdict is resorted to . The case is unblushingly prejudged already ; the so-called seditious (!) document , ( concocted , for ought that yet appears in evidence to the contrary , by the League themselves ,
who concocted the Strike , and issued in the name of the Executive , ) is published by all the Whig and Tory press as " The Address of the Executive "; commented upon as such ; denounced as suoh . It is well known to every body that Leach and M'Douall are members of the Executive , and consequently that if this be the address of the Executive , it must be their address , and they must have issued it . The villains know this to be the only inference whioh can be drawn , and hence the whole factious press , from one end of the Kingdom to the other , has , ever since
the address was issued , on account of which this conspiracy charge is hashed up , identified that and the Executive together . It has been taken for granted , without the least inquiry , and as a thing that could not be disputed , that the Executive did issue the address in question . No question has been made about this ; it is deliberately talked of on ali hands , as a fact ; nobody is allowed to think otherwise ; it is treated as a perfectly settled thing , that , whatever may be the character of the address , seditious or otherwise , it is the address of the Executive , and they did issue it , though their names do not appear to it .
There is deep craft and deep villany in all this . The rascals know well what the formularies of the trial are to be . They know that Leach , and M'Douall if-they oah catch him , will be tried by Jurorsiselected from the middle classthe parties by whom their villanous trash is read ; and they know that when the case cornea before these Jurors , the main point to be decided will bo whether the address was issued by Leach and M'Douall , as members of the Executive ? and hence their careful labour that the whole olass of jurymen shall have no chance of being otherwise than satisfied in their minds , before coming to the
trial at all , that this address , whatever may be its character , was certainly issued by the Executive , and is to be regarded as their address . To this one point the whole of the middle class press has lent itself incessantly ever since the charge was hashed up , and by no one portion of that press has this foregone conclusion , and prejudging of the case , been so industriously insisted on as by the British Slatesman . His letter of the " Old Chartist" was the least of his efforts in this way . Take from his paper of the present week the following paragraph—not from a correspondent , not a stray note of news , but written Editorially : —
" We should not have concurred in the Executive ' s address , believing tbe country to be unprepared to act upon it At the same time , we did not blame them for it , nor do we now blame them , seeing that they have the Bame right to act upon their own judgment and experience that we claim to act upon our ' s . Bat admitting their perfect right to issue the address , we think they were decidedly wrong in not putting their names to it . They either ought not to have issued the address at all , or issuing it , they ought to have pat their names to it "
Now let the people ask themselves what is likely to be the effect of that paragraph upon the minds of the middle-class readers of . the Statesman , the Jurors who are to try whether the address in question be the address of the Executive or not ? Can as many of them as put any faith in James O'Brien , do otherwise than come to the trial with the conviction already settled ia their minds ! Will they not , of necessity , suppose that O'Buien is , from his position , ) likely to know all about it , and that , from his mode of writing , he does know all about it ; and will they not , almost of necessity , seeing this in
O'Brien ' s paper , conclude that what he styles " the Executive ' s address" is , beyond all doubt , the Executive ' s Address 1 And will they not , therefore , be likely to set that point down for granted , whether there be evidence to prove it or not ? Is it possible that James O'Brien is so senseless as not to see that this must be its effect ? Was it stolidity or villany which prompted the writing of this paragraph ? Had this been the only paragraph of the kind we might in mere charity have supposed the former ; but it is not so ; again and again the thing is spoken of with the most perfect sang froid as the "Executive ' s
address . " No doubt seems to exist upon O'Bbien ' s mind , and he seems particularly anxious that the Jury should have no doubt upon the matter . To any mind but that of one anxious to prejudge the case , and to prejudice the accused , it is reasonable to think that the very fact so strongly censured by O'Beikn would have suggested a doubt whether this document was ever issued by tho Executive at all * It was nameless 1 It has not been the habit of the Exeoutive to issue documents in that manner . They have never been previously known to put forth any document without their names . There is nothing
in their character or in their conduct to expose them to a charge of pusillanimity . Nothing whioh could induce any man who knew them to suppose that they would flinch from any position they might choose to take—nothing whioh could justify any man in the presumption that they would , at an important time like this , deviate from the steadiness aad prudence of their usual course . We repeat , then , that the very fact of the document being unsigned ought to have been , by a Chartist writer , regarded as presumptive evidence in favour of the aocused : and the more especially so
in the absence of every tittle of direct evidence to connect the Executive with this address at all . With as muoh eagerness , however , as the most savage Tory bloodhound could evince , O'Brien set himself to tear away this prop from under the feet of poor Leach . He is not content with jumping to the conclusion that it must , of course , be "the Executive ' s Address . " He is not content with inducing that conclusion on the minds of others , by thus familiarly characterizing and speaking of it . All this had been done by the more honest press in the direct service of the faotions .
O'Brien leaves them far behind . He sets on his coward "bully , " the "Old Chartist , " in the firet instance , to raise a cry of cowardice against the Executive ; and when he finds this dodge to fail , he turns to work himself , and tries to eke out the charge by asking why they did not put their names to the address they issued !! ! The fact , of there being no proof that they did issue it , he does not choose to see . We know not whether this may have any connexion with his brutal attack upon poor Leach , at the Hall of Science , in Manchester , some months ago , and with the humbling which he received at the hands of Leach before the meeting ; we know not whether it may have any reference to
his blackguard treatment of Leach in the Convention , and on other occasions . We know not , we say , whether this hounding on of the Jurors to a foregone conclusion , may be another instance of the villanous malignity and petty vengefulness which especially distinguishes hia character , or whether it arises from a mere blundering incapability of seeing the probable effect of his own acts . In either case the effect remains the same . If the blood-money for M D » uall has been doubled , and if he should eventually , in consequence thereof , be taken , and if he and Leach shall be convicted of having issued this same address , the country will be indebted for the loss of their services to Jakes O'Brien , so far , at least , as the talent and influence of that grateful gentleman have enabled him to play
his part . And now we suppose that the people must be pretty well satisfied with the vagaries of the starved viper , Jakes O'Beien . At all events , we can assure them that we are quite satisfied ; and we promise our readers that as far as we are concerned ,

they shall have no further annoyance from or on account of him . We think with honest Coopbb , whom the coward ruffian still loads , even in his living tomb , with his abuse , that "it is time for every man to stand without a mask , " and however hateful might be the duty of tearing off the mask from such a face , we saw it to be a duty , and shrank not from its performance when we perceived how much the safety of our best men and our cause itself required it . 'Tis the last notice of the viper we shall ever take , beyond the insertion of Mr . O'Connor ' s promised letter , if he send it .

" TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . « SIR , —In your Paper of Saturday l&st , you charge me with being the writer of a letter which appeared in the British Statesman of the previous week , and signed 'An Old Chartist * "I shall feel obliged if you will favour me with your authority for making such charge . " Yours respectfully , " Frederick Waeren . " Manchester , Sept . 6 , 1842 . - Our authority is Mr . Frederick Warren , of Manchester and the best evidence that can be offered is the above letter . Laneside Chartists . —A licensed place of worship is , by law , exempt from payment of rates and
taxes , except it be used for some lay or secular purpose , involving profit to the parties . Its occasional occupation for charitable purposes does not mike it liable ; but if it be used for any purposes by which profit accrues , that would be holden to render it liable to the rates . The pinch would be just whether the solons would consider the sick club a charitable or a profitable using of the room . Our friends would , we think , do well to dispute their liability to the rate ; employ an attorney , and try the case on its merits . They ought to get clear ; but they must remember that we have , in fact , no law , save the dictum of ihe so-called" authorities . " The Chartists of Clitheroe , not kngwing Mr .

He is sorry that duties of an arduous nature preclude , for the present , the possibility of his answering personally several kind communications . The Army at a Discount . — . 4 correspondent at Nottingham , who gives his name , has sent us , under this heading , for publication , a letter ,
from which we give t >* e following paragraph : — "It will be remembered that when a number of starving people were assembled on Mapperly Hills , near Nottingham , to enjoy a meal in peace ; that they were attacked by the police and soldiers , jost as the provisions which had been liberally provided by the town ' s people , were coming in sight , and that they took about 500 prisoners ; bat the object which it would appear they had in view was not known until exposed by men who were taken . After they were placed in the House of Correction , they were visited by a recruiting party . They were taken when suffering from tbe most acute panga of hunger ; they were degraded as far
as possible by being driven to a prison , and with the prospectof impending punishment hanging over them as a terror ; and then they wet * promised liberty if they would enter the army , and that they should bare plenty of bread and beef . Here , then , we have the honour of heing a British soldier , surrounded , as they said , by the comforts of life , placed injtuda-posttton with destitution , the degradation of a prison , and the terror of Jurther punishment ; and these man have declared bf their conduct , that , bad as their situation was , it was preferable to the honour of being in the British army . Have not the soldiers placed themselves in an enviable position t Is not their ' a an honourable occupation ? I Who will not now enter the army 1 \ " .
We can scacely credit this statement . We believe that the person who sent it us would not knowinly write us what was untrue ; but we hope that such an amount of baseness is not predicable even of the factions under whom tee live . If any parties wearing her Majesty ' s uniform have thus acted , tee must suppose that they have done it unauthorised by their officers or by the magisterial aulho ' rities . We deem it right , however , as our correspondent speaks positively , that his statement should go , forth ; while we think that there must oe some mistake about it .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . Friends , —It must be painful to every sincere Chartist to observe the constant bickering that ia kept np by our most prominent leaders , men who above all others ought to set an example of union . Nothing tends to weaken a popular cause more than division amongst the leaders , for it not only keeps many from joining , but drives many from our ranks . I am led to make these observations by the disgraceful and " treacherous" manner in which Mr . O'Brien has attacked Mr . O'Connor , in his two last papers , the S . ' atesman . Disgraceful , inasmuch as ho ought to have been certain of the truth of the letter he inserted , signed " An Old Chartist { "treacherous , inasmuch as it goes directly in opposition to the resolution moved by Mr . O'Brien ia Convention , binding the Chartist press to insert no charge against any man until a meeting had been called , and the person charged had been invited , and the charge proved against him .
No meeting was called in Manchester to investigate the charge , —and this the" Old Chartist , " or rather Old Scoundrel , knew . Yes , that man is a scoundrel who will write anything reflecting on the character of a publio man , knowing it to be false 1 O , but Mr , O'Brien says , " the man has probably been imposed : on himself . " Nonsense : he is equally & scoundrel to write that whioh he did not know to be true . I wonld take this opportunity to ask a few questions , which I think ought to be answered to set this subject at rest , for I see no sense in the people spending their hard-earned money to get information , and yet find the papers whioh ought to instruct them exhibiting nothing but bickerings and dissensions amongst leaders .
I am of the opinion expressed by Dr . M'Douall in Convention , that if the cause is to be continually injured by the disputes of two of our leaders , let us , in the name of God , oast them from us until they have settled them . It would be an important duty of the Conference to endeavour to put aside sach disgraceful proceedings . O'Brien admits he has been imposed upon by the "Old Chartist , " and that all he has wrote is false , and calls upon the friends of the injured parties to " denounce the slanderer" — denounce who 1 who can they " denounce" under an ambiguous name ? whit will he care for that if the parties do not know him ! Tell his name , O'Brien , if yoa have been imposed
upon—you owe him no respect . But O Brien has no right to complain about being imposed upon if he allows the Chartists to be imposed upon by nim , for , says O'Brien , " if I was to give np his name O'Connor's party could injure him in his business ; " so it appears he is depending upon O'Connor ' s party for support , whilst he is doing what he can to injure them , and this O'Brien allows . Did not Bronterre support the recommendation to exclusive dealing \ This is a time for union , and it becomes the duty of the people to look after their own . cause , and endeavour to keep our leaders united . We ought to have no " parties "; no O'Connor ' s party , or O'Brien ' s party , but one party , and that freedom ' s party . .
Our enemies have their disputes in council , but theirs are only on the best way to put us down ; the only disputes of our leaders ought to be the best way of gaining our freedom . O'Brien states that he has shewn to certain parties that favour which O'Connor would see htm "d—d before" he would shew to him . Did O'Connor see Hetherington d—d before he would insert his blackguard letters 1 No ; and the greatest fault I can find iu O'Connor is the insertion of such blackguard epistles as certain persons have from time to time sent to the Star . O'Brien has failed to answer the letter of the Manchester Chartists : assertions are not proofs , and he has indulged iu nothing else ( The question is not whether O'Connor has behaved kind or unkind to O'Brien , but whether he has acted traitorously to the Chartist cause ; and he has that yet to prove . " Tbe questions I would ask are as follows : —
. 1 st . Did O'Brien , in Convention , move a resolution , condemning the denunciation of Chartist leaders through the press , without first having tbe charge proved ? If so , he has broken his own reso lution . 2 nd . Did Mr . O'Connor , in Convention , promise O'Brien the columns of the Star to set himself right with the public , and did he ever attempt to avail himself of it ? If it was offered , and he did not accept it , then he has no right to complain . _ 3 rd . Did the conversation take place which Mr . O'Connor stated to have passed between himano O'Brien at Birmingham , and Mr . O'Brien states , in last week ' s Statesman , was manufactured by Mr . O'Connor , and is consequently a lie ! Mr . Porter will feel himself interested in answering that question as it purported to have passed in
hia house and in his company . Brother Chartists , it is your daty to see thos » things set right , and not allow your best and moat disinterested leaders to be injured , and distrust created in our ranks , without great cause ; let us from this day bury in oblivion , all suoh disgraceful pro * ceedings , and let us commence a fresh course « action , by concentrating all our energies in behalf « principle and not men ; and then , instead of asi » present seeing five or six columns of your press taken up in personal warfare , we may hope to see them teeming with information to the inquiring , and "J * teresting intelligence to the people , that the day « their salvation is at hand . This can only be done f > J unioH , to promote which shall be the constant » ua of your brother Chartist , Edwahd BuBLEr . York , Sept . 6 th , 1852 .
