THE HEAL SENTIMENTS OF . MR . J . B . CBBiIBlS , OK THB . QJIESTIOK OF THE PRETENDED *« TJNION WITH THE MIDDLE CSASSES . " Being anlS&ratt frcm a letter sent privatel y by that Gentleman to a Friend in Scotiand . ' "As to the projected union betweea the middle and working classes , it is all moonshine ; or rather the i £ ? pTihg of an old agreement between certain false "Chartists" and their secret frieruki the profit mongers , to which " respectable" class the false fellows either belong themselves , or aspire to belong . So far a 3 the honest workies are concerned , it will be a union of hawks and sparrows , or ef wolves and lambs—the understood terms of which * union" will be , that the hawks and wolves shall spare a few particular sparrows and lambs , on condition that
the Eaid favoured individuals . shall aid and assist the aforesaid hawks and wolves in getting more easy access to , aud a more complete mastery . over , all the other sparrows and lambs , that is to say , the "whole of their respective " orders , " save and except the few favoured conspirators . Even these will find themselves ont-witted , and immolated in the long run ; for the moment the hawks and wolves £ iid they can dispense with their services ; they will pay them Polypbemus's eompiimentthat is , " ear thtm last of allP Tiie only conspirators who will escape ate the few "ffto may have , meanwhile , emerged from their " order , " and got snarly incorporated among the " respectable "
** orders" of cats and wolves . This , my dear * * is . the history of all pretended " unions" between the nrddle and working classes , and I entertain lisile respect for the understanding of any man who expects ssj oihtrT result frois the present ** union / There were such unions established between the middle and working classes during the first French Bevoluiion . ba : they all ende"d in the'like resultviz , ihe utter destruction of the people ' s -honest leaders—the mzkwg their fortunes for a few traitorsthe complete subjugation of the workies , trho were fools cuongh to trust in them , and an accession of fisree power and exemption froioTespoTisibilny to the middle- « lass murderers of French society . ; . Tbe
same will be the result here , if the " rmioa goes on . The false leaders of tie Chartists will be made use of to destroy the honest ones—the people will get more- devoted than" ever—then will follow disappointment and disgust—then apathy and . despair , and then coinesi the jfna /^—increasea power for the oppressor—increaseu misery ( if that be possible > for tiie oppressed ! " - -,, ** A nnk-ii between the middle and working ciiBSf v'indeed J # What an impudent cheat ! * * * How are tie thousands of honest Chartists ¦ who hare bb ? n 'parsectited " out - of house aud

Tb . es . bat sot till thex , ought the words " union with the middle classes" to be pronounced by Chartists ; for ihen , and then only , ' could such a union be founded ia reciprocal respect and confidence to be envied bv mntnalivy of interEsts .

What were they doing all this time !

TO THE CHARTISTS OF SKEAT BRITAIN . Brother Democrats , —I wish to inform yon of th& actual condition of our causa in the three counties of Norfolk , Stffjlk , and Cambridge , so Iir as I am able to judge . - Oa Mou 3 ay morning I left Manchester , and arriv&a in Hull that evening , having to call at Leeds on my ¦ way . I attended a meetirjg of the Chartists , in the Free-¦ nmson ' s Hall , on Monday night , to hear Mr . Halliday lecture , and certainly I must say I rever was more gratiStd in my life than I was byiiia discourse . I briefly . addressed tae meeting , and then iir . Dsah Taylor followed . The meeting vra 3 a bumpsr , and thirteen new members enrolled , that is , took cards oct ; that is " what I caJl jsiaing , msd neifecr less or jsore ; not Kierely putting ihe name down in s boot , but by hona jide taking out a card of membership .
Oa Tusaday night I attended the Hull Council , and glad was I to 2 nd thit they had so placed Chartism-that no ctfcex political party can move but our own . After having ipeut cu agreeable day with Walsingham SJ&rtin , I ' . tli , per steamer , forXyme Regis , in ^ Jforfolfe , on Wednesday morning , at / on ? o ' clock ; landed in Xynn at four o'd-ci in the afternoon ; but could not remain any length of time there , as I had to lecture in TFisbeach that evening . I started far Wisbeach , accompanied by a dcz n or more of rerular good Chartist ? . I addressed the people in the ilarktt-place . At first there was a disposition to Enter , even amongst the workies ; but " after they had listened assort tiaie , they tecams Tery attentive . We a / . jenmed to iha Chirti ^ t Roohm , and nineteen persons took out their cards of membership . I had a stiong muster of police at my lecture .
After biddir-g good night to Messrs . Anderson , Bruce ,, and tbe ctber good Chartists of Wishesch , I returned t-2 Lync , in order to bo ia time for the Xorwich coach oa Thursday morcing . Wisbeach 13 thirteen miles from Lysn . 1 staited on Thnrsday morning at eight c ' clcck for Norwich , amid ss pitutss a pelticg of rain anfl -wiiid as one could ¦ well conceive . I -was conjpktsly drenched to the skin , even thronga my flannel shir * 35 y boots cere literacy full of water ; anfl ¦ when I got eff the coach at Korwich , I shoct like a person in an ague fk . iir . B ^ U and other friends -were
at the coach office waiting for roe , and through their care I avoided getting cold . I held , two meetings in tiie taziar ; and at tie conclusion cf my second lecture , at the request of the council , I annennced to the meeting that I -srooia -srrite to Mr . O'Connor to induce feim to ? isii Ncrwich- The Tnere hiri t ttsb enough , and the cheers ¦ were tremendous . I wish most sincerely that ilt O Connor would Tieit Ciinbridge , Ipswich , Lynn , y aTmonlh , Xenrich , and Colchester ; a freitfel harrest Diiibt be reaped . I forgot-to infection that Mr . Groat vr as in the chair en both occaricES .
O i S -. tirday evening , I left for Harlestoa , a distance cf t-a-eaty-two milea . I aniveS in Harleston about ticLt o " cicck- That very -worthy youthful democrat Waller iliEGn , met me ; and here let cie remark , "that few -sroiiXa LaTe had the rncraT courage to do as Mason ha drae .

Slid gnuiuniiy to di-ssipa-te prejudice , natil now there is a favourable opiuioa of our principles amangft ifca people in that tdwn . I took up my quarters in the Crown

We had two meetings on- B&rleaton Cosazzon , and a goodly attendance of agricultural labourers . At bctb , Mr . Mason tras called to the chair . Iir .

and after bidding good bye to Messrs . M'PherBon , Storey , and the landlord of tiie Temperance Hotel , ( Ms . Leader ) TrhBie I stopped during my slay in the tows , and who made me extremely comfortable , I went to Mr . Pierce ' oto dine , and then I started for Bury Si Edmunds , where I had a good meeting , and fifteen members took oat their cards , I bate now visited Lynn , Norwich , Wisbeach , Harleston , Ipswich , and Bury St . Edmunds ; and I am proud to state that Chartism is rapidly extending through the agricultural districts . The Association most be established in Swa&bara , Deerham , Sudbury , Stotrcnarket , aud scores of market towns in the three counties .
I -wifih to point out ( more particularly to shoemaieM , tailors , and members of other trades who are compelled to tramp from tows to town for employment ) to members of our Association who leave one town to go to another , that their first icfuiry should be to discover if there are any Chartists in that town ; if not , to commence making some . If any , and not organized , to at once unite them ; if organized , to lend his assistance to forward the cause . I have now to address a few remarks to the General . Council residing in Lynn , Wisbeach . Norwich , Bury St Edmunds , and Cambridge . What I wish to point oat is the necessity , tbe absolute ,
paramount necessity of employing a talented lecturer for the three counties of Norfolk , Suffolk , and Cambridge . The Lynn , W ^ beach , and Norwich Chartists have promised me that they will raise their share of the ezpenees . . Now , if the means could be raised to employ one for Sis weeks ; to begin by his own exertions in breaking into fresh towns , the residue might be raised to pay him for a quarter ef a-yeax . I have been informed that Yarmouth will contribute to so laudable & purpose . I hope that the Council will take these points into their most serious consideration , as I am perfectly satisfied the GoTemment have the greatest dread of the agricultural countieB being instructed in the principles of Chartism . ¦ . ¦
In conclusion allow me to stale that I cannot again , on any consideration , make another tour . The correspondence of the Association cannot be carried on until I return to London . I should not have been away from it at this time , bub that I had long promised to visit thesu three counties , in consequence of representing them in the Convention . On Wednesday I started for Cambridge ; the secretary , Mr . Taylor , was at the Coach Ofl 5 ce waiting for me . We had a splendid and enthusiastic meeting at night Mr . . Copper was in the chair . Eleven persons
took out cards of membership . I foreofc to mention that I fell into company with Mr . Sewell , one of the London lecturers—be knew me—I did not know him ; however wo -were-. both soon engaged ia conversation . A gentleman fitting beside Mr . ft = well , said , " Wbj you two are perfectly acquainted already—why how is that ? ' We told him we were ChartiBts . He asked the meaning of Chartism . I explained it He said he was a Chartist I at once enrolled him . He lives in Newmarket , but dare not publish his name . However I have his name down .
I next -visited Hoyston , in Hertfordshire , -where there was no Association , and Hi . Wood , Mr . M'Donald , and other friends , said the wisest way to go to work would be to explain the principles first , aud see how they would be received . I acted on their advice , and after I had explained each point of the Charter separately , I took a shew ef hands ; and when I had gone through the whole six , I told them they were all Chartists . At the conclusion I issued upwards of twenty cards of membership . I arriTed in London on Friday —commenced writing- I har * been Tery busily employed ever since . Last night ( Monday ) I attended s meeting of 15 , 000 persons , on Stepney Green . All parties will have their cards of membership bj Monday next I remain , Your brother democrat , John Campbell .
P . S . —Every place I visit , I recommend the Star , Statesman , and Circular . I send copies of this letter to the Star , statesman , and Trumpet of Walts . Notice , all letters for me to be addressed to the care of Mr . John Cleave , Bookseller , l , Shoe Lane , London , to whom all monies for the Executive must be made payable , and I wish it to be most particularly understood , that any letter for me in future , unless pre-paid , I will not release , as the postage is sufficiently heavy otherwise . Cards can now be had through the London bookseller ' s parcels to tiva remotest part of the country with little , if any , expence for postage .

THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION . We hope that , upon this Bubject , we have made the people sufficiently to understand that the NationaJ Charier Association is one entire body ; not an association of different and distinct local bodies ; that no meetings of aay separate part or section of the Association , nor any meetings of the members of the Association resident in any particular place , as such , can be ( legally ) holden ; but that they may still bear in mind , that in becoming members of the National Charter Association , they lose not one of their previously holden rights , as citizens and Chartists . They have a right to meet in their individual
capacity as Chartists ; to interchange their opinions aud sentiments upon any Eubject of discussion ; and if % difference of opinion arise , to take means for ascertaining how many of them adhere to the one or to the other side . They can , therefore , thus , talk over amongst each other , at their -weekly meetings any Enbject of public discussion in which they may feel interested , and express , by resolution or otherwise , their opinion thereupon ; and this local expression of opinion being carefully watched by tbe several officers of the National Charter Association , will be made to serve as a guide for their movements in reference to the matters affected by it .
Every town and village in the Kingdom may legally hare a distinct Chartist Society of its own there may legally be two , or ten , or any given number , of such societies in a-ny town . Any person may legally belong , at the same time , to as many of these different societies as he may choose . Each of these different societies may have its own council and a person may be a member of as many different councils as he may choose ; and he may speak and vote in all the meetings of all the different societies and councils of which he is a member . AJ 1 these
different societies and councils may be governed by the same rule 3 ; but they must hold no official cor . respondence with each other , either by letter or delegation . Any man who is a member of two or more of these societies may state to one society , of which he is a member the transactions of another society ; but he must , mind to do so in his own capacity , individually , as a member of that particular society , and sot as a dkl-egate pbom the othkb society . Efery member of all these different local associations may be also a member of the
National Charter Association ; but it does not therefore follow that the local associations are branches of the National Association . A man may legally be a member of the Methodist Society , and at the same time a member of a Mechanics' Institute ; all the members of a Mechasics' Institate might be also members of a Methodist Society ; but it wonld not therefore follow , that the Mechanics' Institute was a braLch of the Methodist Society , or had any conrection or correspondence with it . Just so Ihe information communicated by a member to one local
society , of the resolutions or planB of operation Of any other local society of which he may be a member , is no evidence of correspondence between the two societies ; not even if like resolutions or plans of operation should be adopted in consequence of the information thus given , pkovided only that the said information be communicated individually , on his own account and responsibility , and MOT IN THE CAPACITY OF A DELEGATE . This position may be thus illustrated . A man may be at the same time a member of two different coney clnbs , one meeting at the Fox and Goose Inn , and the other at the Hare and Hounds Inn . The Fox and Goose money club may have
determined to advance no premiums to members without the security of two sureties in addition to that of ihe principal ; the same subject , of advancing premiums to members , may be afterwards discussed at the Hare and Hounds money club ; a disposition may be there manifested to advance on the security of the principal alone ; and this man may get up and inform the club that in the Fox and Goose Club , of which he is a member , it is thought requisite to require two bondsmen ; and because of this information the Hare and Hounds Club may determine that they too wiUreqaire two bondsmen ; and yet , it is quits dear that all this would not proY © any connection or correspondence bktweeh the two clubs or societies as such . From all this it will , we trnst , appear sufficiently evident that the bodies of Chutists associated to-
Untitled Article
gether and meeting with each other in the different localises , do so without any direct referenoo to the National Charter Association . They meei as distinct local bodies , having no necessary reference to or connection with each other . The fact of their all adopting the same plan of government , of their all adopting like means for tae extensioa of Ghartfet principles , and of their members severally and separately belonging also to the National Charter Asso ciation , is merely incidental .
These local Associations acting separately and by themselves give tone and expression to the pablic mind , and the officers of the National Charter Association , through whom all its operations are conducted , having thus the opportunity of being acquainted with the public mind , prooeed to act on it . To make this plain , we will suppose the nomination of members for the next General Council to be now taking place . The Chartists of Bradford meet in their usual place of resort , on Monday evening ;
among other subjects of discussion , the relative merits of nine men who have started as candidates for the General Council , and out of whom seven are to be elected , comes upon the carpet ; ihe people express their opinion upon the matter by vote ; they have a right to do so ; it is a matter for public opinion ; and though this expression of pnblio opinion forms no part of the actual operations of the National Charter Association , the sub-Secretary , whose duty it is to nominate the Councillors , will , of course , nominate to other persons than those whom public opinion has thus marked out for him .
Smmld he dare to act otherwise , he would , in our opinion , prove himsslf to be be utterly unfit for big Situation , and we Bhould advise the Association instantly to replace him by a more worth y mati-The people must bear this in mind , that their weekly meetings , in their several localities , are not meetings of the National Charter Acsociation ; they are meetings of the Chartists thereabouts resident in their individual capacity . The business of the officers of the Association ia , to watch tbe current of opinion in their several departments of the Chartist world , and to regulate their movements accordingly .
Every distinct local association should have its own books , especially a book of general entry , in which are entered the names , traded , and residences of all parties making profession of Chartisi principles . Every local secretary who has not a book of this description should instantly provide himself with one , ruled in columns for the name , trade , residence , and date of entry . It would also be well to have columns to specify such as may be municipal or Parliamentary voters . This is the local register . It contains no test or declaration of faith or
principles ; but it is known and understood that every man who authorises the insertion of his name in this book professes himself a Chartist , and he becomes thereby an enrolled Chartist of that locality . In this capacity he meets with his fellow Chartists of the neighbourhood , and agrees to or dissents from the several resolutions or matters of public discussion which come before them . But all this has nothing to do with the National Charter Association ; of which he becomes a member by taking out his card from any Sub-Secretary or
other person authorize d to enrol members . Generally the Secretary of every local association should be also a Sub-Secretary of the . National Charter Association . It is then his duty to exhort every person professing Chartism in his locality to take out a card of membership in the National Charter Association . For this purpose he either keeps a separate book for the enrollment of members of the National Charter Association , or which is perhaps better , he ticks off by some marks kuownto himself , the name of every one on bis
Chartist roll , to whom a card has been issued . It is his duty , at all times when required by the General Secretary , which should be every week , to send these names—of the parties to whom cards have been issued—for insertion in the books of the General Secretary , which ought at all times to exhibit a list of all the names of all the members of the National Charter Association , open to the inspection of all the members . Any neglect of this duty by the General Secretary would make himself and every other prominent member of the Association amenable to the law .
Now we hope that , after this , we shall have less trouble -with watching aud rewriting the numberless Chartist reports that come to us . Let every such report begin— The Chartists of such a place met and did so and so " ; not " The members of the National Charter Association , " or the "National Charter Association" did so and so . Let all resolutions and addresses commence , not "We , the members of the
National Charter Association , in public meeting , « c , but" we the Chartists" of such or such a place ; so in describing meeting rooms , never talk of " the National Charter Association room" of such a place : always " the Chartist Room . " So again , in speaking of Councils , never say "the General Council' * of such a place , did so and so ; always "the Council /' or " the Councillors . "
The various Chartist secretaries and sub-secretaries can have no idea of the amount of trouble they have hitherto given us in reference to these little things ; notwithstanding that we have before , more than ouce , called their attention to it . Some of our own paid correspondents are equally careless . We hope that this final notice of the matter will save us the trouble hereafter , and save the rascally factions the opportunity which would otherwise bo given them of gleaning evidence against us from our own document ? .
We hope never to see the people slavishly fearful of the law or its myrmidons ; but there is much difference between being slavishly fearful , and needlessly fool-hardy . There is no need to run our heads wilfully against a post . Bad and villanous as the law is , let us at least comply with it as far as we can do so , with a little extra care . We shall next week begin a general commentary upon the rules and cosstitution of the National Charter Association , and the means by which they maybe safely and effectually carried out , and our glorious cause pushed en to triumph .

THE "DEBATE" ON BUNCOMBE'S MOTION . Whew the Tories are out of office , they , like the Whigs , can loudly inveigh against the acts of persecution and prosecution perpetrated during the sway of the antagonist faction . This , interwoven with strong protestations of their zeal for the common weal , constitutes their stock-in-trade on their accession to power . But no sooner do they get firmly seated on the saddle of power than they show the cloven foot ; riding rough-shod over all
who oppose their misrnle , or expose their nefarious designs . The two factions evince a like deadly hatred to all who will not succumb to their villanies , and laud their atrocities to the skies . They dread publicity being given to their deeds , and would fain hunt every man out of existence who has the honesty and courage to draw aside the veil , and exhibit their delinquencies to the public gaze . They know well that the peoople cannot now be hood-winked ; that they will not be diverted from their onward course , ! in pursuit
of a complete or radical change of the Governmental system , by any faction-hatebed humbug however tinselled , or by twhomsoever propouBded . No ; the tyrants know that tiie' workies > are now on the right Bcent , and will bo continue until the game is ran down . Hence arises the hostility of the whole host of corruption to the Chartist cause . Against it all their artillery Ia directed . But , thank God , we live to see that cause rendered invulnerable to every attack , whether coming direct from the seat of Government , or . from their lured subordinates .
Chartism is now all-powerful ! Like the rolling snow-ball it is incessantly increasing in magnitude ; while faction is in its dying agony , and must soon be numbered amongst the things of olden times : a

M'Potjall ( which our readers will find in another part of our paper ) we could no * refrain from indulging in a laugh at the
miserable sophistry to which our opponents are driven in order to screen the misdeeds of their underlings . Had the House been , composed of men of ; c 6 mmQn / se ; nse / . ^ long before the close of tho debate . But any kind of irrelevant nonsense serves to rivet the sages to their seats when their purposes are to be subserved , either in oWcing the people ; sheering at their prayers , or squandering their hard earnings on the idlers , in the shape of pensions , grants , or emoluments . . : ;¦ ¦ .

Mallaxieu , appears to us , from the circumstances detailed , to be a reptilo who would not feel the least compunction to swear' away the lives of one b $ l £ oi the country io eerve the purposes ' of his employers . But such wretches are ever selected by tyrants tordo their dirty , work . Honest men would much rather beg their bread from door to door than submit to become the paid tools of an overbearing
oligarchy ; well knowing that when they thus engage themselves , they forfeit their character and the esteem of every good man . Mallalieu is indeed fit for no society save that in which his forerunner , Beaman , moves ; and we guess should he ever commingle with any portion of the community , other than trie Sneaking tribe with which he is properly connected , he will receive such a lecture as will deter Mm frpm repeating his intrusion ,
We last week told oar brethren to keep wide awake , and eye well all straugers ere they accost them as friends , or allow them to enter their councils . We again repeat the caution ' : watchfulness is ' mpre reqai ' sifej . ^ our movement . As Wo approach the haven of our hopes , our vigilanoe must be increased ; otherwise our anticipations may be cut off even on the very threshold of fruition . Chartists in various localities have very wisely refused to couQtqnance any lecturer ueleas he be furnished with satisfactory credentials ; thi 3 is as it ought to be : but there possibly may be other dangerous characters ^ prowling through the land , who may not ascend tho platform , yet they may perfect their share of a traitor ' s work 1 Beware ! - : ¦ '' - . ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ "'¦ ' .. ¦ .

We are happy to announce that the harpies have signally failed in establishing any serious charge against M'Douall or others for the part they took at the meeting in the Broadway . Not even the shade of a shadow of evidence could bo adduced on which to hang a charge of sedition , riot , or illegal assembling , and all the yaporing about such matters in the tax-trap , were only wild dreams floating in the phrenzied brain of our crest-fallen legislators .
Their tools , no doubt , were instructed to make out a case , subjecting the persons of some one or more of the leading Chartists to " 4 urance vile , " but though the "bine bottles" might be full to the very neck with zeal to do their masters will , yet the materiel was wanting , and the Chartists have grown tod wise to furnish it . Thus the affair dwindled into a paltry charge of obstructing the highway , and even this was unsupported by evidence .
Had double the number assembled on the same ground to witness an exhibition of Punch and Judy , the polica would have made themselves [ scarce , and the performancei would have concluded without interruption . Had some canting field-preacher occupied the ground for the purpose of vomiting forth a tirade of abuse agaiust the Infidel Chartists , " and corrapting the Word of God by promulgating passive obedience and non-resistance to tyranny , then the ' force" would have practically obeyed the latter portion of his creed . Anything to atultify the public mind must be encouraged ; but this was a Chartist meeting , and , of course , the spy , the blndgeon-man , and licensed disturber of the peace , must be at his post , to do that which he is ostensibly commissioned to suppress .
All these doings of the confederated band , Whigs and Tories , demonstrate their fear of our gigantio strength . They know we are in the ascendant , in fact the only powerful body in tne states They dread us ; in' our strength they Bee their own weakness ; in our success they perceive their own overthrow . We are working peacefully and effectively , and shall assuredly come off more than conquerors , if we be wise , vigilant , and watchful .
We know that Our organization is such that every assembly of bur body will be ; characterized by peace and order , if not interfered with by the myrmidons of despotism ; but as the wolves are among the flock , as the blood-hounds are abroad ; as the jackals are in quest of prey for the enraged lions , we corijaro bur brethren to be on the look out , and fail not to give the alarm . We cannot now spare another man , and therefore let not the beasts of prey have another Erost , another Williams , another Jones ; another CtAvrdN , another Holberry . For the blood of the Chartists they pant , but let disappointment overtake them .

JOHN FROST . In the House of Commons , on Friday , August the 29 th , Mr . Sharman Crawford stated that he had been requested to ask the Noble Lord , the Secretary for the Colonies ; whether the rumour which had been circulated ; with respect to the convict Frost was true , to-the effect that he was compelled to work in chains in a penal colony . Lord Stanley answered , that there was no such circumstance stated in the last official report from the Colony , and that he did hot believe , there was any truth in the rumour . r
The London papers do not notice this . We happen to know that this report is but too true . A letter has been received by the family of Mr . Faosr confirming it . The rascals merely deny it in the hopes of smothering public indignation .

THE " NATIONAL QONFERENCES . " We perceive from the reply of th © Execative to the LeicestexsbJre Delegates , thai they persist in the call for a "National Conference ' - at Manchester on the 16 th of August .. We were in hope that the Executive would condescend to give the country a little more information touching ' . the necessity for these conferenees . Such , however , doesi not appear to be their intention . We know not what the country : mean to do about it , for very few places
have spoken out about it . Howeverthe timeisat hand , and we , tberefore , make no apology for-repeating the follo wing direotioDa from last week ' s 5 / ar , in order thatif the people do call these conferences , it may be done- rightly and legally , giving no handle for ! the enemy to lay hold of . Tne 16 th of August draws near ; and the people , if they mean to have a National " Conferenw , Bhould begin to prepare . In the first place every delegate sent to this M Conference ' ' must be elected by a pwJ / io meeting . Not a public meeting of the Chartist Assooiation , but an open public meeting—a publio meeting x > f the : inhabitants of the place , catted for fa % wp ? s £ This must be particularly i attended to .

THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEICESTER SHIRE DELEGATES . ; ¦ In , another CJlumn we give the response of the Executive to the LsiceBtershire Delegates ; and we had aever to regret the insertion of a more anti ^ democratic and unchartistlike document than we .

Write only on one side of the paper . 3 . Employ no abbreviations whatever , but write out every word in full . 4 , Address all communications intended for publica ; tion to the : "Editor '' ; all other communicationssuch as orders , remittances of money , t&c . —to the Publiflhei " . " Mr . J . Hobaon ; all remittances of money to any of the public funds for which books
Bre kept here , to Mr . ArdilL Much unnecessary trouble often arises to us from a waut of precision in attending to these thlnga . Never aiix np these difFereut matters in the same sheet . Always prefer to send ah enclosure , or even a separate letter . Much confasion often occurs , and many articles of newa get overlooked , because of their being written on the Bame" Bheet as contains the order of ah Agent , which goes into the Publishing Office , and is liable , in the hurry of the buaineaa , to be forgotten instead of being sent up to the Editor . So again orders have been sometimes neglected , ' because of th « ir being written on the back of news paragraphs , -which being Bent to the Editor
have been by him" put in band , " -without remembering to trausoribe the order . All these accidents will be prevented , if persona who send here-will send their communications severally to the right quarter , and not ' muddle" them together . i . When you sit dovra to write , don't be in . a hurry , Consider that hurried writing makes slow printing . 6 . Remember that we go to press on Thursday ; that one side of the paper goes to press on Wednesday ; that we are obliged to go on filling up the paper the whole week , and that , therefore , when a load of matter comesby tbe last one or two posts , it unavdidably happens that much of it is omitted ; and that it ia therefore necessary to ; be prompt in your communi" cations , ¦ ' ¦ " : ; -: ¦¦ ' : ''¦ - .

A . 11 matters of newsj reports of meetings , &c ., &c referring to occurrences on Friday , Saturday , or Sunday , should reach us ; by Monday ' s post ; such as refer to Monday's occurrences by Tuesday evening ' s post ; Wednesday ' s occurrencea by Thursday ' s post ; and Thursday ' s news hy Friday morning ' s post , for second edition . Any deviation from ttaiB prde ' r ' . ' : of ' supp | y : i . v ^ 'iicic « as ^ ly ; -8 Ubjeot ' the matters se received to the almost certainty of rejection or seriaiM curtailment , and we takenoblameforit . All personal correspondence , poetry , literary commuuications , and articles of comment to be bere by Tuesday , or their chance of insertion for that week will be very email indeed ; if not here by Wednesday we don't hold ourselves bound even to notice them .
7 . Finally , remember that we have only forty-eight columns weekly for all England , Scotland , Wales , and Ireland ; that we have no interest in preferring one town or place to another , because ours is not a local but a national paper ; that we are bound , therefore , in dealing with the masses of matter whick come to us , to hold the scales of Justice evenly—our first object being the promotion and enhancement , according to our own best judgment , ef the success of the great and good cause ; and bur second , the distribution of our time and space bo as to give least cause of complaint that we are alike bound to this course of action by inclination , interest , and duty ; and that , therefore , it is useless : and senseless for individuals to
fume and fret , and think themselves ill : used because their communications may not always be inserted , or for societies to trouble their heads and waste their time ; in passing votes of censure upon us for devoting too much space to this , or too little to that , or for inserting this thing which , they think should have been omitted , or for omitting the other thing which they think should have appeared . All the&ei are matters for our consideration , and for the exercise of our discretion and judgment , which , we assure all parties , shall be always used , so far as we are able to perceive , honestly for the public , without fear or favour to any one , and wiUibut being allowed to be turned for one instant from its course by ill-natured snarls or bickerings .
