ministure of an asion , beconse fce belifivsd the genilem » a would not have attended a meetiijg at which it tvas proposed that he ehcuid occupy fj » eshair , unless fhey were prepared 10 sanction the ' -adoption of-the pricciale of the Charter entire ; he would ns-rer awerre from that document- For the last tec years be had joined in no pleasure or amusement ; _ h £ s whole inuitl ¦ waa ocenpita with that sprand question . Ho was not iuTallibie , mure than any otber man . He Would not fay that he ni ? gis _ t not often be in tha wrong ; but tha people themselves ¦ st ere tbe best jod ^ ea of that , and
tfc-y were seldbni wron ^—Briane'Vtr long wrong . " Mr 0 Connor then ciiat-sd on the numerons grieyaricea of the labouring classes , and the necessity of obtaining tha Charter , that they might live in peace without tbe aid of a laxi ; e 8 iant !; r . g array ; that they mightjworahip God "without tils aid e ? at ! exiravagaiitly paid |>; icsthC 3 d ; ttat they might huve commerce protfeted Without an expensive navy , and that tbe poor mans stafi ' might ba liiore poTTcrful than the policeman ' s truncheon . He woaid dr-ni the toact -Rith all his heart and soul . ( Great cheeri-g . )
Dr . Black fead cre » t pleasare in supporting tbe toast Be enquired who wtre the people ? M « ny ef the aristocracy toasted the ptople—^ the middle classes did the same ,, and also the workin ? classes , and in too many instances each considered them ? el 7 es to be the whole people . He considered the pw > ple not to be any one of tiiese classes sinsly , bat the whole family of the aation . It was a mistake to suppose that the working classes alone bad rights to obtain . If they iicagioed so they mra gr ^ atiy mistaken . The Crown tiad lort alt power « nd- ^ ras & mere empty sho ^ v ; there was no longer a pirticle of monarctical power in the etate . The talddls classes imagine- ; they were possessed of political power ; but thty did not possess a particle . ' They cou ' . d certainly goto the poll and vote for a representative , but tbe weslth and i : 3 u = ncd of the aristocracy was such that it always Secured ihein a workinc majority in ths
House of ComcioE 3 , so that essentially tha whole power in the country was rested in the hands of the aristocracy . The middle c ' . iiss ^ s weTe aa ( directly interested in obtaining tha who ' . e S x Points as themselTes , and . it on = ht to ba tbeir business to secure the ca-opention of tvery honsst-he ^ rtcd msn of that class . If they v , ho had stepped forrrrird to aid ia the good vrork , only faithfully ind fe . irlessl 7 perform their duty , the work would progress more speedily than it had do ; ie . Dv Black then in a philosophical manner dwelt on the causes wb ' ch ha- , produced disunion amongst the Chartist party , and the necessity of cultivatinc ; a good usdera-ani'ing with each other , to promote the success of thos 2 principles for which they were aU striving . He fti ^ n alluded to the BirmiEgham Conference as a nisans of producing this desirable result , ar . d conceded amid much
applause-Mr . Campbell , in supprtine tbe tosst , stated that he coald ml cive snch a hi « b character to the peopla as the two last Epeajjers . If the people had not been wrong , tht : 7 would hr . ? e had their rights long a ^ othey would never h ? . ? ' -. zll < j < re 1 themselves to reHi .-iin in such a miserable state of serfdom . It was trus that a portion of tbera wer-. ? nohly struk-plirg ftvr thtir rights , and that poition was continually increasing . Oae great reason they did r . ot prepress f . ister was their intcstise quarrels ; and while these were continued the enemy misht fleece them es long as they liked . It was the s ^ ine cause which ruined the an cient republics of Rome and Greece , acd ths modern one of France ; and it was a " firm nnion amongst thpmseives which enabled the Americans to drive ths Brineh from their shores . They were even now a more powerful party than ever the Americans were ; and if th « y took a lesson from the factions , and had a firm and sincere union among them-5 elves , they might establish ths fabric of Liberty on the ruins of tyrssEny .
Dr . Bov ? KETT supported the toast . The Tights of the peop 3 e could not be tso frcqaeutjy brought forward . He was happy to see that the source of true pisjssty was taking prec- dc-nce of the source of false majesty which he had sometimes heard toasted even at Chartist assemblies . The rights of the people were no man ' s wrongs ; they would deprive the plunderer of his unhallowed spoils ; a more ncble toul-stirriig ? or ject never agitated the people of any country . If they succeeded , they would benefit v . ot only the poor and oppressed ef tbeiTnative land , but set- an example to the world which it wrnld not be slow in following . TUc-y should then do what they had dne hitherto only iu fable ,
teaeli the nations how to V . vi . Dr . Bowkett then went on to show the advantages cf union among the different sections of Reformers , and eonclnded by stating the plea ^ nre it gave him to hear Mr . O'Connor state bis . -willingness toaci with all " pirties of Reformers ; these words wonltl induce wany to join them who had hitherto stood alor . f . This avowal , conpled with that of theii worthy V ^ -Cbainnsn , Dr . - Bttw * r ,--o * thwr will : B ^ a £ S 3 to unite heart and s&ul for the redemption , of the working c ' -as-sea , ^<» uld go far towards procuring : that good result , and when that rtiould be accomplished , it would be a deed , of which E : ig ! snd might indeed be proud . :
This and the following toasts were then drank with three times three auiid great en-huiiasra . Mr . FJUSER proposed tbe following lo .-K-t : — " The People ' s Charter and a union of all hentst R-jformers to obtain it . " > Ir . Cieate proposed tbe next tosst : — -The I >; mosriit ; c Press : may ita iiflutECd soertly rtgonerate our unhappy country . " Mr . 0 ¦ Co ^ ' ^¦ OR then introduced Mr .

THE EXECUTIVE . MR . GEORGE WHITE'S REPLY TO MK . JAMES L 13 ACH .. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR , Dear Sir , —On my return from visitin Coventry . Warwick , and Leamington , the worchy sub-treasurer of the National ChRrtsr Association placed in my hands a copy of the Northern Star , ' . dated Dec . 3 rd , and dirested my attention to the report of the Sauthi ' : Lancashire . Delegate Meeting , at which Mr . James Leach has been reported to have nuide some statements rtflectinz on ma , and also on the . Chartists '' of Birmjn ? - h ;; m : I therefore request the uso of your ' columns , in ordi .-r to set the public rjifat on these iiuittera .
As a member of thb National Charter Association , I have formed - ' my opinion on the conduct of the Executive , but fearing that my motives shou'd be maligned I Cid not interfere iath 6 matter , as some people think that those in tb . 8 employ Of M * . O'Connor a * e aotuatad by selfish motives . But when my name is singled out by a member of the Executive in , what I consider , an unwarrantable manner , I feel bound not only to defend my own conduct , but also that of the Chartists of Birmingham from the ohargeg said to have been made by Mr . Leach , at the abovementioned meeting ; and in doing so I shall confine royaa ! f to facts , which shall be attested by the members of the general council of this town , or it shall not be published . At that meeting Mr . Laach is reported to have made the following statements : —Mr . Leach then said , " He would put them in possession of a fact o * two , that they did not know . The Executive had know }} of . this plot for some time . Mr .-. ' Hiil is a councillor of HulL Inthemontn of July last , the Hull Chartists were about to pass , the Balanso Sheet , when . Mr . Hill entered the room and put a stop to it ; and a friend " that was praaent . at that meethig wrote to Campbell , stating that ' - . there ' was a plot hatching against the membera-of the Executive , of vhich lie "would receive the first atiacfe in a short time , la Leeds also there was a . conspWjicyipf , the same natu"e-- A meating of tep or a-dcz n mv-n took place , -where they : ( the members of tbeEx ^ cutiv . ii ' -wwe disposed ol and a new one formed , A x > cr 3 i > n pieaent at that ' meetine wrote to him I Mr .
Leach ) giving tim . inftrmatiou of . tU 6 in whole transaetioKfl , and also the names of' the men -.- ' . who were-to form the new Exsoutive . . Their names , were Cooper , White , Harney , Bairstow , and Skevington . " Now , Mr . Editor , I shuU take thia paragraph fir&t , &sd muat ^ tate t ! a ; it > Jr . Leacfc seems to form a very lowestimate of the intelligence of the Hull Councillors , to Buppoaa them capibla of altering their views to suit tha purposes of the Rev . Wm . Hill , or any other man . I tdso tbiuk that Mr . Laach ought to give up tbe names of the partitswhp informed the Executivo . cf the Plot fo . medagaiu&t them in . Hull and Leeds . In the latter place , it aeems t according to Mr . Leach ' s reported speech )! that Cooper . White , Hurney , Bairstow , and Sttev .
ington . ward fixed upon ' ¦ &S tha taiea . ihaiskoald form tao next Executive Committee . ThU seems wondrous strauge ; coming too from the President ot thy National Charter Association . Our Organisation clearly , states , that every member of ths Association shall have the power of voting for members of ¦ the Executive Committee . How thor . could th& members residing in Hull , or Leeds , elect -whom they thought proper ? If a . number of members of the Association thought that certiiu persons were fit for ihe office , they had a perfect right to hold those opinions wit ' aovit being suVjected to a charge of conspiracy . Thut part of the subject is therefore unworthy of frtther remark . He is then reported to have
saidt" We received several invitations to go to Birmmghaiii ; -we -went and remained there for eign't daya . We drew up' the National Petition t ' aex'e , and issued two or threa addresses to the country . We attended seyon or eight public meetings , paid ones too , and left thcniBotleis than < £ 30 in hand . ' ' Itistrna that the Executive drew up the National PtJtition in Birmingham , and issued sfcveiaraddresses . I am also wiping to-givo them credit for muiin ^ . thtmselves useful in other respects . ; but 1 dtuy tli'it they v ? ere invittd to Uirniinehiiiu by the officers of the Njtioaal Charter Association , It was . tailrely their own act , I also deny that thirty pounds Were added to our funds during their stay , and sh . di refer to the Bub-Secretaiy for that purpose , f . oni whith it will appear that the whoK-, or neatly the -whole- of the pre ^ cctds of the tea party held in houour oi' the release of Feiueus O'Connor , E = quire , fr ' . jm York Castle , were
aclital / y handed over to the Executive Commit tee , on account of the Uesivy expenaea to which they were subjected , aUhVayh tho proceeds , of tha same tc-a party were infcei . d = d to d e fray our local debts , and although the Council ultimately resolved vbat-the inocej adrUiiced Bbould be placed to the ao ^ count of -. Birniingbam . Mr LijacL \ knawa Well that I endeavoured to induce the . jaeuibers of the General Council to hand ihem the whole proceeds , as a gift , but could not Kuccctti in doiugso ; thus proving iny wish to serve them , and aUo that whatever inij ( bt be the Bubservitncy of tho Hull CiunciUors , ucauidiug to lit . Leach ' s representation , that the Birmingham Councillors were resolved to judge for themselves , And 1 appeal t » : dr . L , each , Mr . Cai : ipDell , Dr . M'Douall , and > lr . Phllj ? , -whether I did not do everything in my power tu servo thdni w ; , ilsfc in this town ou that oceasion .
With regard to y . r . L&ach ' s aUuaior . s to t ' ots and conspiKiciea in oidev to rmtoya the membars of the latd Executive , 1 rtfer him to Mr . John ' 2 fewhou ' se ; - laie fab-Stcr < -tary lor the linfiiibtTs of the Association '' meeting , at A-tou-strect , liii-uji ;> gbiim , who can iiifurm him tbat -I .

The members cf the Executive ore taking a very unwiae course at preterit , in rny opinion . They cannot deny that the pian of organization bss been d-jrarted iiom , and 1 thick that hud they fairly represented their position to tae Asrociation , ttat ail the ili-feeling proouotd migat have been avoided . Mr . Hill , or any other niiiubsr , had a perfect right to complain of their conduct , and of the bangiiag and unt-usices-Mie mannwin v-hich the accounts were kept . If we have not the right to do this , our Association is a mere mockery . 1 confess that the wetkly iillowanse to the members of the Executive was too small to unable them to live in Manchester , apart from their families , and nnder the iuipre&aion that the plan of organization required them to do so , I mentioutd the saroo to Mr . John Arran , of Bradford , at the Sfor office , ill NuTcmber , ls-io , at which time I re ' uBtd to buud aa a candidate . . ' . .- ¦ ' '¦¦ ¦ - " . " .-: •'¦ ¦¦¦ : -.- . ' : - ¦ - . ¦ . ' - . - . .
