WHERE IS THE MOJOEY ! OW TO GET AT IT . B Solomon was a wise man , and Sampson was & rtrong man :. and jet neither of them eosld pay sonej if he n&d'nt it . " Unpalatable as many . of our truisms are to tie ears o ? fraud and oppression , we hare nevertheless Slight to expect universal acquiescence in the above axiom . Wise , then , as our prtBent * Solomon " ( Pxel ) may be ^ and j / jm ^ as car jireeent "Sampson" [ WiEuanGios } may appear : yet will all who tare teen accustomed to rely upon the wisdom and strength of former Solomons" and ** Sampsons " find that to pa . y money a man must first hare it .
The gambling « yBtem to which we hare referred upon many , Teiy many , occasions , lias had precisely iheiSeei that we nare bo often foretold . It has so centralized wealth , by the operation of artificial « on-cpn « H ) unff power , that its owners may Eafeljdefy the " wisest * statesman io devise means to get at itf trials the necessity for getting at it compels reckless expenditure to hold the greatest sufferers "from the £ jstem in silent subjection . Cssrsxuzixioa-is the rock upon which the system will split ; for system ij one thing , atidv . O 5 E . ~ x is another thing ! A man may
1 » a greai admirer of , and Tery loyal to , a system which has enabled him unjustly to horde millions out of the labour of others 5 ont his god will not be not be upheld , or eren worshipped , at the « xpene © of the fortune of any portion ol it , that it has conferred upon him . So Jong as the productions Of all ueere in some measure x < &TX 2 LY dieibi-XCted among cS , —capital And speculation being justly requited , while labonr was partially protected , —so Jong teasii easy io dense means "to get xf ihe general labour and capital fund , through
ihe -usual channels of taxation . Some regard was then had io demind and supply , not only in the producing , but also in the mercantile and agency departments . When the markets were sufficiently stocked , production and speculation in business slackened : that is ; when mannal labour gave the sterling stamp of Talne to real money , and when capital consisted for the most part of that real money , aconvbinaiion of both interests checked the « vfl of OTer-prodnetion in its infancy ; while trade being-also carried on for the most part with jreal
money , the agency , or shopkeeping , market was regulated by demand and snpply . These two eirttunsiancea then , traffic being carried on in real money , and prudence forbidding too great & Tentnre in a balanced trade and shopkeeping market , insured ihe expenditure of the whole labour fund in snch commodities as onr " Solomons" could devise" means u to git at . " This process was aided by the law of primogeniture , which closed the land market against speculation ; and all these circumstances combined ensured the cirenbUion of the great national fund
throngh rath channels as would flow , in one shape or other , into the Government Exchequer . The inadnous means , however , by which taxation could be brought io bear upon the necessaries of the many , tamwt , by any possibilit y be made io Teach the large fortunes amassed by thefiv ! The -great extension ?' of onr trade in artificial produce , has led to a corresponding extension of artificial money to keep it afloat ; and what : suchi 5 eet is to labotjk , pic-UU 0 TJ 5 ctraiiX is TO Bijo . moset ; each depressing and hourly rendering less valuable ihat which it
¦ proposes lo represent , Henoe the existence of a sound labour market 1 b incompatible with the existence of an unsound monetary system : and the struggle is now between nature sad artifice . The Government , —would it continue to exist , —and the whole body of the people must take the side of aature ; whfle THE THIKG , which the ¦ Government is said to represent , "national faith "; and the &tteners » pomi * fional foBy and GoTernment imba ^ eility , must w ^ rAvM themselves nn d er the banners of artifice .
The system of producing by an nneonsnnaBg power has driven the owners of real capital ont of the market . Men with £ 3 , 000 , £ 4 , 000 , ot . even 410 , 000 , and withont artificial-credit , could not hold np against men who , though "withont any real capital , are still in alliance or partnership with the Managers of the "joint" funds of others ; having an snlimlted use of " 1 promise to pay , " and as Bixny " Benewals * as they please to "accept" ^ at as interest by no means commensnrate with the
anticipated profits from a ensuing trade . These are the sharks of the speculating order ; and have not only dertmred tie profits of those who , without large bank-credits , were compelled to buy and sell with the day ; but they haTe also swallowed up the remnant of erery bankrupt ' s fortune , widow ' s pen-Hon , and confiding " sharehoiaers"" all : the total of which constituted the supposed security of ten times the amount of "paper" it was said to represent . The command of capital and of machinery enabled the I ^ ctjathaik of trade to hold and to
OTer-hwd ; while the small fry , with the prodnee of real money , were compelled ; to compete , with the worthless speculators in the same market . Hence ias arisen a system of gambling in the manufac turing market upon the necessities of small traders : established precisely upon the principle by which * stock" in the money market is affected by persons merely transferring it from side to side of their ledger ; speculating npon a ™ lise or fall" in the ralne of other men's money I How many unall manufacturers hare been mined by one or two depressed markets 2 while those teho nave caused ihe depression laTe made -that profit whieh legitimately belonged to the fair trader , by merely overiolding their produce for a ** rise" 21
Let us sow see how this system sfleefs theshopkeepeis . "We will suppose twenty or thirty Email traders in clothes and woollen cloths to be making » living , with moderate profits , upon real capital . We-mB sJso snppose that a portion of " snrples capital * is applied by some adventurer in the same line of business . With a bank-credit , he starts in -opposition ; ^ adver&es ; sends ont his placards and perambulators ; xaiseB money upon appearances ; undersells aDj OH he f alls himself , ~ wxib puix p ockets ! and when he lias swallowed up
the profitB of "brisk trade , and destroyed all -without credit , he makes a settlement with the repTEsentatiTe of tbe shareholders of some unfortunate "joint stock" ! To put the climax on the " wise" proceeding , aD the costs of legal proceedings are saddled upon those who , : kt thx- snmt , have lost aSeontrpnloTertbeir " all ''; and at length another respectable class of the community , composed of retired tradesmen , widows , and those who anticipated seeerifcy for the remnant of iherr fortunes , are throws helpless and nnpitied on the world I while eoranissio&ears , lawyers , and law sharks , laugh at their mi 3 fcrtanes , and fatten upon the fragments of the " stock" !
In Ihe midst -of this general -confusion , brought about by this fictitious system , we find the parties who haTe fattened cpon itcharacterissically bawling lustily for its * extension ' J And in this bawl " they are joined ij tee men who hare been stripped of their *• all" by its operations so far i This t > mas unatconntable !

THE CONFERENCE . It being now arranged that the Conference Bhall be holden at Birmingham on the 5 th of next month , we ha . re , in common with maay of our correspondents , to express a ferrent hope that none but good and true men will beappointedas delegates . The forthcoming meeting surpasses in importance all others that have erer been holden by the Chartist body ; and will consequently be looked forward to with an intensity of interest . Tho recent dodgings of the ¦ ATTwacDi , th" Muxtze 3 , and the EnxoMia gire an additional interest to the place of meeting ; while the reception of tbe people's friend , Mr- Ddxcdmbe , will be calculated to furnish an additienal test of popular derotion to the principles of the People ' s Charter .
It will be well to remind the delegates of the opinions expressed by seTeral Judges of the land , as to the legality of agitating for the People ' s Charter ; and further to remind them that to the MODE of agitation , and not to the principles contended for , has legal authority been enabled to stretch the quirks and quibbles of the law . Baron Rolfb has said : " The advocates of the People ' s Charter have a LEGAL RIGHT to endeavour , by all peaceable means , to induce others to join them , in erder to make tie Charter become the law of the land / ' Again the same great constitutional Judge said A man cannot beTRIED FOR CHARTISil . XT-is perfectly legal to be a Chartist and to advocate Chartist principles . * Mr . Justice Ebskiks has deliyered the following
opinion—** Let it not be said that a man can be tried for being a Chartist : it is absurd , " Baron Au > ebsom has said : " Any man , or body of men have as good right to be Chartists as other men have to be Whigs or Tories . " Chief Justice Txxdji . has said : * ' The people hose a right io meet when they like and inhere they like , for the discussion of the Charter . ' Mr . Justice Ebskine has further said : The people of this Empire have a right to meet whenever they please te promote the People ' s Charter , by fair discussion and LEGAL MEANS . * Sir F . Pollock * Attorney-General , has pronounced the following opinion : " I do not say that Chartism is unlawful ; on ihe contrary , J beg you to dismiss from your minds all idea of Chartism being unlawful . WHEN
THE PEOPLE DEMAND IT THE CHARTER MUST BECOME TH £ LAW OF THE LAND . " Mr . Jndge Pattisos , in passing sentence upon CoofKB and Richards , said : *• / wish lo correct an erroneous impression which appears to have been made upon ihe mind of one of ihe defendants , ihat he has been convicted of being a Chartist . It is no such thing . He has a right to be a ChartisU BtFT HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BREAK THE LAW IN
HIS ADVOCACY OF CHARTISM . " Now from these several opinions , given by a majority of the Judges , and all within the last six months , it may be safely inferred that to publie opinion , an < 3 not to diminished hatred of the principles of Chartism , is to be attributed even so much of judicial toleration . The growth of opinion since 1839 , when * ' to be a Chartist was to be a traitor , " may be gathered from this altered tone !
HaTing the assurance of the Attobhet-Gknebal that" when the people DEMAHn the Charter , it MUST become the law of the land" would not its advocates be culpable and highly censurable , were they to fail in so fencing those principles , the legality of which is admitted , as to defy the intrusion of the law ! —the vengeance of tbe Executive I—the wMm of the Judge % —or the capriee of the Jury } Elsewhere , in our number of to-day , will bo found an elaborate disquisition upon tbe question of questions —the Organization of the public mind ; and , while
we invite the moat searching inquiry into its principles and details , we trust that those who are prepared to oppose it , will be also prepared vsith a subsfii « te EQUAU-T cax . cto ^ tei > to achieve the general object . Relying , as we ever have done , upon the vigilance of the popular mind , we would invite it to a dose perusal of , and serious deliberation npoin The Pias to which we refer : while we _ would further suggest the propriety of meeting any objec ' tions in detail , in a written fora , to be transmitted to the Chairman of thB delegate meetiDg .
All ihe petty machinations of those who have hitherto lived upon the dissension in our ranks hare Jailed ? There has been an underground struggle io nrcumvent all attempts at Organisation I But the voiee of the faithful nas silenced the growling of tbe disaffected . In the combination of the improved mind of the working classes , the trafficking politician" sees the destruction of •' Mb trade / ' and tremblss at the * xposure to which its continuance wonld subject him .
To be free , we mnsi be united . To bo united , we must be of one mind . To be of one mind , we must thoroa ^ hlj understand « a « h other . And , to understand each other , we must be completely Organized . ** Our artngih is in our Union ; onr power-in onr voice : and our success in our perseverance . "

channel J Ten . ; years ago , when the oldest firm in Kidderjninslef ^ manufactured much lesa than they do now , they « Hipi 0 yednpWaNj 8 of threehundred hands . NOW they manufacture considerably more ; and the nnmber of nanas employed Is materially less ; while the condition ? of those still left on , is materially worse ! The decrease in wages , and in numbers of employed , basikept pace exactly with tbe " march of machinery . " ] For yean past the poo * woolcombers of Kidderminster have been but partially empleyed ; many having frequently been for eight , ten , and twelve weeks ! together without a " hand-stroke . " Three months ago they were reduced to the lowest standard of -wages in the kingdom ; and now , to crown all ; now . that trade is " improved ; " now .
tkat masters have orders , and there is a likelihood of employment ; now , when tho poor worker should have his share of the Tariff caused " cheap food ;" now It is that A further KEJiBCTiON ia attempted ! When will these things have an end ? Whek ? When tbe worker gets to work in tbe natural market for himself and there establishes a standard of wages , below whicli none need work 1 Then will an end be put to these reductions . Then will the relations between employer and employed be changed : the former seekinoithe latter , and tempting him with " hioh wages ; " but singing precious small about tbe " plenty . to-do" to obtain them . The Victims , and the Victim Fund . — Again we most reiterate ' the calls of the Victims for help !
Nothing worthy of tbe name is being done I We know there is the Conference on ; and that that takes up the attention , andengrosees almost all tbe means of the Chartist body at the present moment . Still tbe Victims should not be quite forgotten I Amidst all , and amongst ali , they should be present before the mind's " eye : and that presence indicated by wuw small sums for their relief . Let as implore those ¦ who have done ! nothing to get to work en the instant ; and let us iage on those who bare already done something , to try once more I See the numbers in Kirkdale Gaol 1 Remember tbe appeal of Hoyle and Williams . Forget not their generous , their magnanimous t-ffar . to be withont assistance
themselves , sooner than their brethren in bondage should be turned oat j of prison penniless , and destitute ! Remember , too ; tbe fate of the wife of James Hesgue of Dukinfleld , Iwhe died for want of the common necessaries of Jife 1 Remember that she has left four motherless children ts be provided for . Call to mind these things ; and a " mite " to succour the distressed will surely be found and forthcoming . Happy are we to say , that some towns have nobly done their duty in this caaa of the victims . We lately published an account which redounded much to the honour of the London men . We now present a record of some of the " country doingB" : doings which deserve to be recorded : —
Dear Sib , —For some time past , I have observes , with much pain , your columns occupied with complaints by , and on behalf of , the political victims . Now , Sir , it does appear to me that gross and nnfeeling neglect has been manifested by the various towns and districts where those victims reside , and also where the men themselves are so&tring their terms of imprisonment Nottingham has bad its share of difficulties to encounter ; but it gives me much pleasare in being able to say that the Chartists of the district generally have nobly performed their duty upon this occasion , —they having sent about £ 40 to the General Defence and Victim
Fond , without receiving any assistance in return from sueh Fond , although twenty-nine victims were made here , twenty-six of whom were convicted and served various terms of imprisonment in Southwell House of Correction , whose defence , and the support which their families received , cost the mm of £ 106 . Independent of this outlay , we have rendered assistance to the wife of the martyr'd Ellis , and the sick wife ot the indomitable Cooper ; also to Dr . M'Douall , and . Mr . Leach , of Hyde ; and , though last , not least , we have had to find means to fight our enemies at four contested eleetions in the short space of two years .
If , Sir , the country generally had done their duty aa they ought to have done , I am certain that sufficient funds would have been at tbe disposal of our worthy Treasurer to hv » e relieved every one who bad been so nnfcrtaQste as to have fallen into the " League Trap " of August last Hoping that my brethren will endeavour , to tbe best of tbeir abilities , to wipe away the foul stigma from their characters , and so longer see the wives and families of tbeir persecuted friends suffer , and also learn a lesson from the past , I remain , dear Sir , yours reapectf nlly , James Sweet , Secretary to the Nottingham Political Victim Fond .
THE BBIGHTON Chartists desire as to notice that any locality wisfein ? to correspond with them are requested to address to Mr . Ellis , 86 , Edward-street , Brighton , Sussex . They state further that they shall be glad to correspond with any other locality , to urge one another to be '• up and doing . " Now , simple and praiseworthy as the act here invited is , yet the doing of it , without Organization ; « r with an Organization not enrolled ; would subject both parties , the sender and receiver of the letter , to imprisonment tor three months ; Or ~ to transportation for seven yean . ' if the " authorities '" choose to wreak the " vengeance of tbe law" on them ! Are not these heavy risks to run 7 Is there any sense in running those risks , when we can so easily avoid
it ? Agree to some such Plan of Organizitioa as we this day publish ; get it enrolled nnder the Acts of Parliament now in existence on the Statute-book ; and these rxrks are at an end . The Manchester Victim Fund Committee . — We have received the following from the Manchester Committee . We had been given to understand , by Mr . O'Connor , that the matter had been arranged . We understood him to say that he had seen some of tbe Manchester Committee , or the Manchester Conncil , and had suggested to them that the beat course to be pursued to get rid of the difficulty that had presented itself , was for tbe Committee to examine all caees referred to them ; and then issue
their order for Mr . Cleave , as Treasurer , to honour . And this suggestion , we understood Mr . O'Connor to say , tbe Manchester friends had acceded to , aa tbe best course to satisfy ail concerned . In reference to the following-appeal we would say , that tho Manchester Committee should disburse the sums now in tbeir hands of themselves ; examine into tbe ot&er cases needing relief ; and then say to Mr . Cleave what snm they think each particular case entitled to . We would farther snggest that the Committee act on this plan immediately : tot " while the grass { rows the horse starves . " It will not do to be eternally coquetting abont the disbursement of a few pounds . Here is the address ;—
Address Of the Ualumal rictim Fund Committee , lo the Charlisls of Great Britain Brother Chaxtists , —It is with f . reat regret that we feel ourselves bound to ibsuo this brief address calling upon you to give unreservedly your opinions as to the line of conduct you wonld wish us to pursue . You are aware that repeated calls were made upon the Chartists of this locality to appoint a committee as the almoners of your bounty ; and after a great deal of deliberation they complied with what appeared to be tbe national wish . We were appointed pro Jbrma by the Conncil ; and duly confirmed by the members at a special meeting , ealled expressly for tbe consideration of this important subject ; but although we have met several times in our official capacity ; and though
applications of a most pressing nature have been made , we find ourselves utterly powerless . We need not inform yon that Mr ! Cleave has signified his intention of disbursing the monies in his possession , till tbe forthcoming Conference ; and we find he has regular communication with parties who are , or have been , incarcerated in Kirkdale Gaol . . Now as Mr . Cleave states that be hopes to be perfectly cogniaint of the circumstances of each , applicant so as . to be enabled to lay them btfare the country , we consider it wonld be presumptnous in us : to proceed to an investigation cf tbe cases , or recommendation , of tbe applicauts alluded to by Mr . Cleave ; especially as not a line has been seut to xlm from any of them . There is another feature in tbia unpleasant business which We wish to have sati&factoriiy arranged , before we proceed to tbe dig *
bursement of monies sent to us : and in erder that ail of you may understand what we mean , we will ask two plain questions : -3 l « t . ' * Are -we justified in withholding monies from Mr . Cleave sent for onr appropriation ? " 2 nd . "Snail wo transmit them to him , or proceed at once to the relief of the cases we have been investigating 7 ' fOor Carlisle brethren will see these qnestiens have a reference to them in particular ) . Decide either way , and we shall be satisfied . We disclaim any dtsire to deprive Mr . Cleave of the pleasure he txpericDces in the alleviation of misery engendei ^ by tyranny . . Nor are we ambitious to remain in oi ! nce ; but will willingly resign upon the first intimation ihat it is the wish of the country we shoSM do bo . ieros then know your opinions as speedily as possible .
In cooclt'E ' on , we wul just advert to Mr . Cleove ' s remarks upon " the Committee of the Carpenters'Hall Locality having appointed a Victim Fund Committee from anong tht / twelves . " To this we answer that the appointment was tnade to meet tho exigencies of tbe case . Thcytnever L ~«<* i& in contemplation to elect a Committee without l 'Jnsalt ' wg the members ; and as the members ratified toe appointment , Mr . Cieave may now add the Manchester members to bis list of those who voted for tbe appo > atu . " « nt - We with also to set him right relative to his statement that the Conncil met on the Sunday night They d / d 00 such thinjk The business was discussed on the ^ g oter meeting night ; and arrangements made to procure tbe emotion of tbe members on the following Sunday . We remain , brother Chartists , till you have decided to the contrary , the members of the N ^ cca ! Viitim Fund Committee ! . - ' .

, ana approval of , the plan which I suggested f . * the management of the . Victim Fund ; namely , that the Manchester Committee should ; recommend those who atooa most la need , and that ? Mr , Cleave should , as lreasurer , administer the tand on such recommendation ; in order to-relieve Mr . Cleave ! from the apprehension that any ; the slightest , offence Was intended to him by the proposed arrangement . I beg to state that those of tbe VounpU—48 . well aa some of the moat prominent onartiBts . who were present-4 concurred in the ap-P k » * u \ CleaTe < * ZJal » konesty . and usefulness ; wnlle their anxiety that something should be done , and promptly , led to misconceptions on both sides ; which I trust thejpresent arrangement will destroy .
FEAR 0 U 3 O'Connor . W "t ^ appy *»* affair * " » taken tni » tarD - " nas been a most annoying one to us . It placed us in a wrong position with one with whom we have been intimately connected for a great number of years . Still that connection could not make us forget what **» f « to others . Having been * inrtrameritul In caiUsg / ioto existence a body of men for a just andneble pnrpbse ; and having done tbifa without the slightest Intention to do any man even the semblance of wrong ; we could not desert them , because a friend bad supposedlhtLt slight to him was intended by the step . Now , however , the matter is arranged . Both parties
will understand each other s and both go unitedly to work . I Of course the committtee will disburse tbe funds they have in hand . It would be folly to send to London , to have to come back again . ' Defence Fond . —Mr . O'Connor begs to acknowledge the sum of £% 7 e ., received from that excellent and indefatigable gentleman , Mr . Lonsdale , of ManoheB' ter , who , by his own exertions , has largely contributed to every fond for general , local , and individual purposes connected with Chartists and Chartism . Mr . J . Shaw , of tbe Tower Hamieta , would wish to hear from Mr . Lowrie . late of : French Park .
Mr . PEPLOW . —Mr . O'Connor begs to acknowledge the letter of Walter Thorn relative to the charges recently made against Mr . Peplow . In every word of Mr . Thorn ' s letter Mr . O'Connor entirely agrees ; and is happy that his conduct in the affair has entitled him to the thanks of Mr . thorn . The course pursued by Mr . O'Connor was in strict accordance with a resolution proposed by him , and seconded by Mr . O'Brien , and carried unanimously , in the Convention of 1842 . The object of Mr . O'Connor in proposing that resolution was , to put a stop to the cowardly and brutal practice of writing private letters for the purpose of creating prejudice against individuals
whom the slanderer hoped , by such means , to destroy : aod if every person who receives such communications was to adopt the same course that Mr . O'Connor has taken with respect to Peplow , it would go far to cbeok the evil , to expose the assassin , and to protect the victim . Mr . O'Connor begs to assuro Mr . Thorn , that all attempts to undermine Mi . Peplow in his estimation will fail , as he believes him to be an honest imaa » ud sincere Chartist : and be further begs to state , that all letters addressed te him , containing charges against individuals , shall be forthwith transmitted to the party accused .

Plans for Organization . —Mr . R . T . Morrison , of Nottingham , will see that it would be useless to give his i outline at the present His object is fully carired oat in the plan given in this day ' s Star ; not an outline ,: but in full . Points of detail can be best attended to at the Conference . We were muoh pleased ! to see that he has aimed to compass exactly the sime ends as ourselves . It is , to us , another evidence that tbe time has come when we can take a STEP IN ADVANCE ; for Ml » D is mach mere
ferward than it was only twelve months ago : and we must keep up to it Mr . Morrison ' s reports were also received ; but when they came to hand , a notice furnished by another friend was in type . Makt gkassdy and tiie Hull Female Chartists . —We fear the publication of their letter to Mr . Thessiger would not do much good . 1 % is better to leave htm to his own reflections , knowing that the abuse he spattered forth was paid far and that he was but a vile HIRELING . ToDHoaniBN will do next week .

Tbia week the request for its insertion only reached us again on Thursday morning .
The Election of Delegates to Conference . — Again wo repeat that all meetings for the election of delegates to Conference must be pub / ie ones ; publicly announced ; and the election must be free and public . It must be stated too , what the object of the Conference is ; and the day and place of its meeting . Credentials , signed' by the Chairman of each meeting , setting forth the election of each delegate to " a Conference of Delegates , to be holden at Birmingham , on the 5 th of September , 1843 , to consider upon and devise A Plan for the Organizitlon of a Society to enforce upon public attention ] the principles of the People's Charter , aud to devise ; means for their practical application , '' should be given to eaoh delegate , to entitle him to take his seat
There seems to have been some misunderstanding in North Lancashire respecting the delegate to represent them . It appears that Burnley and Padiham would not have been represented by the gentleman fixed on : for bis opinions , on a vital point , were diametrically opposed to theirs . They bare , therefore , resolved on ending a delegate for themselves ; while the first delegate Will represent the other localities in the district . Ini this matter we think the Burnley men have acted properly . They have a right to be represented : and if that cannot be done by general representation , special representation can alone set over the difficulty . We are glad to see the resolution of tbe friends relative to this matter . It shows that they are too wise to make it a ground of quarrel . The
bare fact of chjecling to the fltneaa of parties for office is too often sought to be turntd into " personal attacks "; and many a man has been suffered to step into office unopposed , horn a fear existing tbat , if grounds of objection were stated , it would be construed into " an attack , upon his private character" . This nonsense we must have done witb . A man either is fit , or he Is not Those who elect are the only judges . Before bis election bis merits and jfoness ouKht to be canvassed over . Opinion should not be fettered ; but be freely given : and the decision , when come to , generally abided by . : It shows a weak mind , or is evidence of bid intention , when any man objects , to have bis qualifications questioned , or his fitness disputed .
Another peculiarity connected with this choice of a delegate fqr North Lancashire : deserves a passing notice . Some one there , it seems , thought of Mr . D . Ross , and mentioned him as one likely to serve them . It was stated , in answer , that Mr . Ross was fixed upon by some place in Yorkshire ; and , therefore , he was fore-gone by the North Lancashire men , they not wishing to have one mnn representing two places . It now turns out that tbe story about Mr . Boas being "tojbe elected for some place in Yorkshire , " was unfounded . The North Lancashire District Secretary Writes ub : — " I have Mr . Rise's authority
to state that be never anticipated being sent from YorkBlrire nor did he authors 3 any person byword or letter to ni .-ike sueb statement ; " Now this is unfortunate . Is is not acting fairly to Mr Ross . That statement , and its publication in the report of the doings of the North Laucaaairo Delegates , has most probably prevented Mr . Rues from being fixed npon , by some locality or other , for a representative . Thas he has been placed ia a false position . Now , however , the ( jbartist body will know that Mr . Ross is at liberty ; and we bave no doubt will be as much inclined , asfhe is well able , to serve them , should they deem his services of valuts to them .
Place op Meeting fob Confjsre ^ ce — friends io Birmingham ought at their very first meeting , either on Sunday or Monday next , to appoint some three active business-men , as a Committee , to arrange for the meeting of Conference . There will need a place of muling . This should be secured before-hand ..: What is the Aston-itreet Room ? Is it convenient ? Is it adapted ? Then there is the Hall-of-Soience , another Chartist meeting place , gome place or other ought to b 3 secured . And the committee ought also to prepare a list of ledgings ; clean and cheap lodgings , where the representatives of the poor may live at as little cost as may be compatible with bonatort . Letr the Birmingham friends Bee to tbe appointment of such Committee . Of coarse they wil } communicate tbeir arrangements through next Star .

This is the first timejwe have ventured or desired to interfere in any election : but they muat permit us to tarn canvassers forjonce : and solicit " the favour of their vote and interest . " Mr . Lintoh ' s experimental and practical knowledge will be invaluable en the discussion of th * e .

Linton render : there fore hia presence at the Conference is most desirable . He is , besides , as good and as hearty a Chartist aa breathes , We trust , therefore , that the Ch ' artiste of the North and Ensfc Ridings of York will send him . In the letter which we have given from { Mr . Lintou in another place , he also says s— ' The Laud muat be combined with the agitation for the Charter .

This will be a mighty movement , if arranged with judgment ; and I sincerely hope we shall have no more false 8 teps ^—no jmore imprisonments—no more transportations . May Qod protect yon in the righteous cause you are engaged in . " Mr . Linton must " make it convenient to attend "; and the Chartists of the North and East Yorkshire must send him .
Mr . Hill's Scheme of Organization . —when the long article on Organization which appears in another part of this sheet was made tip for press , we received from Mr . Bill bis promised plan for organizing the public mind . As wej anticipated , in tho main we agree . Indeed the body and sleeves of the garment are identical . Wo have both been at the samo well ; both drunk from the same spring . We have both tried to compass the same ends ; and we have both gone to work ia the same manner . The only difference between the two plans is , tbat in some of the detailed duties of the iseveral divisions of the Grand Army , Mr . Hill ia more precise and more definedevm than we are . Some of tiis rules ore amendments of our own . Enough is ! however given in the article
before-mentioned to show the general scope and beaiing of the question : at the Conference Mr . Hill's details can be considered along with our plan . Indeed we shall contrive , before its assembling , to weave those of them we deem improvements into tbe plan , so that' it may be presented to Conference as perfect as it can be made by ourselves and Mr . Hill . Way to Welcome a Victim . —All honour to the Dewsbury " lada" ! They have set a praiseworthy example .

They have CLOTHED theii victim , with their good optaion I Now , shew , aDd noise , and clapping of hands , and meeting by thousands , are all good in tbeir way . In such a case as that which lately called them forth at
Dewsbury , they are Jan expression of good-will and . respect to worth and integrity ; and calculated to bave a good rnpressioi ) upon the public mind . But when they are followed by deeds of plain palpable good , those deeds give a force , and being , and value to tbat expression that ; make it lasting and endurable .

The lying Guardian , ae usual , states that they have turned out for a rise . This the dirty scribe knew to be as false as himself .

one of the foremost men ofjthe "Plague "; one of those hypocritical knaves , wJbo axe eternally bawling out for ' cheap bread . " He was one of those who assembled on the bloody plains of " Peterloo f * and was , at that time , a flaming Radical , " one who kept a sharp pike .

Way to do Work . —Borobgh Court , Mosdat , Augpst 21 . —Before Jona'han Thornhill and Wm .

It appeared , from thb statement of the complainant , that the whole o the weavers in the employ-of Stuart , with the ex * - ption of a few "black aheep , " had given notice 'ott-uve their work , in consequence of his paying considerably under the" town a price . ' * This so enrasjed t he !;> rd of smoke , that ali ( but biting hia fiager v > % ila off ) , was done to Bhew how much bis migMin-ss was exasperated at the * 'b y thieves , " who had
dared to say they would no longer e . nrich . b ' . s c-ffsrs at the expence of their hungry children and faaiishing wivea . On Wednesday last , the man of < x > : ion had an opportunity of spitting bis vencm on Shelmerdine , whom ha suspected of being vue of the rebel chiefs . On Wednesday , then , it appeared , the complainant took four "cats" into the warehouse to be examined . Stuart was present ; and on looking over the work , found fault with i : for being too heavy , and remarked " such work ^ ; bafc would not do . " Tbis called forth a reelv frotr i-omplainant , to which Stuart demurred . An a , creation ensued , which ended in tho master tel' . ' . ni , ' the complainant "he should weave there no wore , after he had furnished the pieces which woe then in his looms . " Accordingly on Thursday , as - o <> n as
the " cuts" were finished , thd overlooker , a' the instigation of the master , seized tho shuttle and would not allow him to weave any more , notwhhstani ing tbat there were printed rules hungup through the mill , stating that no weaver could leave work without giving and having one week ' s notice , ex-v » ps in cases of mutual consent ; and as ShelmerdinrV week would not expire until the following ( Friday ) evening , he determined to claim the wa ^ es fur the rv maiuder of Thursday anoVFriday , as the separation waa not mutual . Three witnesses were called on the part of Stuart , who merely proved that a dispute had
taken place . One of them , the son of Stuart , swore to the complainant calling his father M a iiar . " Another of the witnesses , M'Mahon , aa overlooker , proved that the complainant was a good workins . n , and had never before been found fault with- The Magistrates decided , that though the calling of Stuart" a liar" was very wrong , nevertheless that did not justify hint in Fending the man about his business , without paying him his fall wages . The decision was , tbat" he must pay the sum claimed . " This gave universal satisfaction . It was no more than was expected from Mr . Nelstrop , who iri justly ; esteemed as an impartial Magistrate .

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT . On Thursday , the second Sessioa of the Whigmade Parliament for Tory purposes , was put an end to . [ Only the Session , reader ! It is not the Par ~ liament that is put an end to . God forbid ! What ever would become of us , Were Bach an event as that to happen ?] The first Session was distinguished for the passing of Ths Tariff and the Income Blister ! Thfl present has passed the Irish Arms' Bill . Having done that , our female head f" would you give the vote to women ? "J despatched the legislators home , with the following prattle . The only point in it , is the " Royal pronouncement" agawst Repeal . " A FIRM DETERMINATION TO MAINTAIN INVIOLATE THAT great bond of GONSECtiON "—the Union . Well ! our paper of this day contains O'Connell ' s P . LAN OF REPEAL . He says , "he will havo it «^ yictoria says" he shan ' t . " Which of themspeakalirata ? We shall see . ^^ Here is the "pronouncement " : —
My Loeds and Gentlemen , The jtato of public business enables mo to close this protracted session , and to release you from further attendance of your Parliamentary duties . I thank you for the measures you have adopted for enabling me to five effect to the several treatieB wnich I have concluded with Foreign Powers . I have given my cordial assent to the Bill , which you presented to me for increasing the meau 3 of spiritual instruction in populous parishes , by making a portion of the revenues of the Church available for the ' endowment of additional ministers . I confidently trust that the wise and benevolent intentions of the Legislature will be aided by tbe zeal and liberality of my subjects , and that better provision will thus be made for public worship and for pastoral superintendendence in many districts of the country .
I view with satisfaction the passing of the Act for removing doubts respecting the jarisdiction of the Cfcurch of Scotland in the admission of Ministers , and for securing to the people aud to the Courts of the Church the full exercise of their respective rights . It is my earnest hope that thia measure wiil tend to restore religious peace in Scotland , and to avert the dangers which have threatened a sacred institution of the utmost importance to the happiness and welfare of that part of my dominions . I continue to receive from all foreign powers assurances of their friendly disposition , and of their earnest desire for the maintenance of peace . Gentlemen of thb House op Commons ,
/ thank you for the readiness and liberality witb which you have voted the supplies for the current year . It will bo my constant object to combine a strict regard to economy with tbe consideration which is due to the exigencies of the public service . Mr Lords and Gentlemen , In some districts of Wales the public peace has been interrupted by lawless combinations and disturbances unconnected with political causes . I have adopted the measures which I deemed bast calculated for the repression of outrage , and for the detection and punishment of the offenders . I have at the same time directed an inquiry to be made into the circumstances which have led to insubordination and violence in a part of the country usually distinguished for good order and willing obedience to the law .
I have observed with the deepest concern the persevering efforts which are made to stir up discontent and disaffection among my subjects in Ireland , aad to excite them to demand a repeal of the Legislative Union . It has been and ever will be irfy earnest desire to administer the Government of tbat conmry in a spirit of strict justice and impartiality , and to cooperate with Parliament in effecting such amendments in the existing laws as may tend to improve the . social condition and to develope the natural resources of Ireland . From a deep conviction that the Legislative Union is not less essential to the attainment of these objects than to the strength and stability of the empire , it is my firm determination , with your support , and under the blessing of Divine Providence to maiatain inriolate that great bond of coauection betweea the two countries .
I have forborne from requiring any additional powers for the counteraction of designs hostile to the concord and welfare of my dominions , as well from my unwillingness to distrust the tffioacy of the ordinary law , as from my reliance on the good sense and patriotism of my people , and on the solemn declarations of Parliament in support of the Legislative Union . I feel assured that those of my faithful subjects who have it , flaence and authority in Ireland , will discourage to the utmost of their power a system of pernicious agitation whioh disturbs the indastry and retards the improvemeufc of that countryand
, exoite ' a feelings of mutual distrust and animosity between different classes of my people . The Mouthpiece of the Ministers having thus spoken , tho •* school broke up" the " dame" wanting to -go enjoy the sea-breeze , and the mischievous boys" to return home to their "m&therp . " For a While then we shall be spared theintiicriotiof legislatorial ^ cackle . " And bow then for " the Receis . " We ehall now have the seelional agitators at work , to "letof the steam . " There will be many' dodges tried . We shall have some prime fun . — "Wait a wee ; " and we'll" drop on their toes .
