Ml » KiS ^ BJn 3 P&—No « rcnmst * nce connected ^ ifti tie existence « Cbartiam has caosed greater consternation to . ii&cf&emy thin our recent spring after fre craslf $£ 1842 . EvenTt&b Tone * newspaper , that pMuKts-io ihe-ir ^ sir ^ i ^!^^ 4 h » worst sections of themiddl ^^ aSfW ^ Sdnsidcrs it necessary , to publish the spleen of thei iff & Times second band , Daring exhausted all its own vocabulary of abase . You , however , -will understand , ihat in proportion as we ue reviled , we are dreaded : < jreaded"by the upholders of oppression of one cla « 3 and thfrjolher , and of all of whose ahnses the Zondon Hoes , and its namesake of Leeds , are coni 1 ^
sstent supporters . So long as the active agitation in Ireland famished matter for daily comment , the I Leading Journal passed Chartism over wiihout farther node * than it condescended to take of your tumble servant . Indeed , dnring the period of Irish agitation , it wa 3 not wonderful -thai even , apa « . ftem Government interference , Chartism should fold Ss tired arms , and look with surprise at the-upjosmg spirit of a nation , whose language for fierceness , resolution , and boldness , far outstripped that of the Chartist body , even in its days of unopposed excitement .
"Bus psliiical novelty was the more startling , from the fact , thai from sa section of society , or ccmbi-Mfion of-authorised faction , had the English Chartists met whn greater opposition and hostility , than irom their Irish brethren . This bad feeling needed not the encouragement of fkerTtmes newspaper ; because , for years , it had been fretfully festered by the Irish leaders and their press . The illegality of cur Organization was loudly proclaimed from the Irish ¦ tribune j and a striking comparison was drawn between the manner in which the English Cl artists and Irish Repealers conducted their agitation . It is a most striking fact , howeTer , that circnsistauces hear ns out in claiming superiority for our own system j and why ? Because Mr . O'Connell and the Bepea * ers actually set forth in Ireland the very grievances of which the English people complain , and to redress which they claim their Charter as the only efficient means .
You will see , ^ therefore , thai all complaints of both eourtries hinge ppou bad and imperfect representation , and that Mr . O'Connell is at lengib compelled to hold out the inducement of a vastlyextended representation , as the only means of realising the hopes of those for whose rights he contends . It is so part of mj basinet here to inquire whether or not Mr . O'Comsell will be capable o > following up the agitation to the close in the peaceful manner in which he evidently designs . In the Enmerons leading articles that I have written upon the subject of the Repeal of the Union in the Northern Star , I have given it as my opinion , that Ireland will require , and will have , some sacrifice for its gigantic exernons on behalf of the Hepeal of the TJnioa . I hzre staled that either the -ministers must sacrifice the "Onion , O'Connell
Jnu 5 t be sacrificed to save the Irish priesthood ; or the priesthood must be sacrificed to save blr . O'Connell . The first of those offerings , that is , the disso-Intion of the Union , is th * rigbtt oos sacrifice for both nations ; while the sacrifice of enher Mr . O'Connell or the Irish priesthood to the disappointed people , wenld no : only injure the cause of liberty in Ireland , bat trt-ald go far to destroy it in England . Cnr constant endeavour therefore , should be , so to prepare ourselves for the next struggle , that all that has been done may be permanently brought to light , . and seti-rely brought to bear upon theiEtelligence , the wisdom , and the strength of both conntries ; and in order to effect -which , the feeling without , must be bronght lo bear , upon the want of feeling within the Hou ? e of Commons . The magnammcas battle that one man , Mr . Dancombe , has been able to make in the House of
Commons , against tyranny practised upon individuals by authorized bodies , must at once have taught the peojde the value of representation ; while it must have convinced them of the hopelessness of expecting more 4 ban a mere recital of grievances , by tbe few who venture to contend against them . How often and how londly have yoH cheered , when recountin g the noble exertions of Mr . Duncombe i 1 have a > ked yon if one Dnnuombe was 50 cood , -what would twenty Duncoobe ' -s in the House of Commons be worth ? " You seemed overjoyed at the bare mention of the prospect , while by moderate exertion yon could accomplish the reality and to this point I shall drreci your atStEMon in this letter .
. Lei us suppose tnat the public mind has remained stationary since 3 500 , 000 petitioned for the People ' s Charter ; surely , it is not a stretch of presumption on the . part of go large a number , to demand less than the ihirty-third part of the representation in the House of Commons , or the electioa of twenty members , through whom their wants , their wishts , and iheir grievances conld be made known I Ii is ibrrfpresentanon th 2 t we are straggling ; and I , at all events , have ever reminded yen , that the object Bust be achieved progressively . In 1835 , I told the people of Hudders-field , that my object in commencing an put-door agitation was , to insure such a representation of the whole people , freely chosen by the "working classes , as would by their superior wi = dom
and prudence , constitute a striking contrast between them asd our class legislators , I told them , that ss our honi * would represent industry , it should be called the " Beehive" ; and us their acts shonld be place din { -empirison vdisi those sitting in the c ^ her house , they also should meet in London . Early in 1838 , I drew up an elaborate plan for carrying mv views into tff-et . A middle class mob saw the danger of an eficient a mode of carrying on our agitation ; and they proposed a sacred holiday of & inopth , Jsi more speedy means of acquiring the desired object . Tie tope entertained from such an experiment , very naturally fiiij . tnjshed the more tedious expectation of realising our wishes hv a systemized plan .
Thi 3 plan of a sacred holiday was concocted in 3 J 5 rmiDghim early in 1837 , and long before the Korthern Star was estabiislied . Even then , I pos-Eessea a large amount of the confidence of the working classes ; and upon Mr . Salt , of Birmingham , visiting 3 ! anefl € Sttr , for the purpose of feeling the public pul = e ihere , upon tbe question of the sacred holiday , the working people told him that they wou ! 3 ecEsult me upon the subject , belore they gave a definite answer . In a s-h « vr ; time afterwards , and mind before the Star was established , I did meet Mr . Salt at liai ; efce > ter , and after be had developed his plan tome , as tfce scheme of Mr . Attwcod , 1 replied : " / tfiTe it my entire ec-nctirrence imder one special proviso ; and that is , bifobb x single wobkMaK -iba > do > s labc-cb , Ji n .

great organic change would find interest in the House of Commons . With all the disqualifying circumstances against which the Chartist body has to contend , great doubts may be entertained as to the possibility of procuring even the return of twenty Chartists . I , however , contend that by a proper system of Organization- we may accomplish that , and more , upon the very next general election . And , as it is an event which is not likely to take place before our first Convention meets , I do trnst that it is a subject which will interest the consideration of that body to a very large amount .
The first great step we must not boggle at . I mean the first step in action is a thorough system of " sxcixsrvE deaukg i" a system , however , which ; must be legally carried out , and which must not : entail a charge of conspiring againsi the working classes . The law as regards exclusive dealing is this , as laid down by BaroB Rolfe , and the Attorcey-Generalat Lancaster : * 'The people , lo any number , mey combine together , for the purpose of laying cui their money with whom they please . but if they tise that combination for ihe purpose of injuring others then it becomes a conspiracy and is punishab / e by ; law ; they may deal tcith Tom Smith if they please , j and exclusively ; but they must neither interjere with , \ or circulate reports to the injury of , John Wilde ; there i is no law vhatever to prevent any class of men from i dealing vith whom they please .. " Here ihfre is another and a very striking instance of the pow ^ r
with which legal combination arms , the working ) classes ; and here also is an instance of passing the limits of the law when such transgression rather 1 injures than serves . If the machinery for carrying j out a general -85 stem of exclusive dealing was in ( ¦ p erfect working ord ^ r . the workiDg classes would upon the very next general election , command a majority of the city , and borough seats in the House j of Commons : while the very operation of dealing ; exclusively wi : h those , who are pledged to support \ their candidates , would at once lead from extensive j trade , to a very £ rrat reduction in the price of food , j The Government ; the Whig ? , the Tories , and Free < Traders , have recourse to exclusive dealing to a < most withering , nay , to a destroying extent j and ; why grumble at the existence of evils arising Out of ! the sysiem which the people themselves can at once ' eontroui ! " - '
1 once recommended , and I recommend it still , j that our abl-s : lremrers should start at once asi candidates for the best situated boroughs in their various aistricts , and there strengthen themselves , inspiring the people with confidence , and the electoral bocy with a belief that tbeir real interests ; would suffer no damage if entrusted to such representation . Moreover , the very fact of a district '• lecturer being a ? 5 o a candidate , would give him a prater power of calling public meetings—a power of ' which the law cannot deprive him , and wi ? h which th « Secretary of State dare not interfere . It may be said that we should have a difficnliy in finding even j twenty candidates likely to serve th-- cause of Char- j tism in Parliament . Let ns see whether or no such :
charge is correct . From my memory I will name a number in whom I think the working classes would have a sufficient amount of confidence , and not one of whom would betray that confidence . J wiil begin with Scotland . Mr . Moir , ilr . Ross . Mr . Proudfoot , Mr . Ancott , Mr . Colquhonn , Mr . M'Pherson- In England we have Mr . Roberta , Mr . Isaac Barrow , of Bolton , Dr . M'Donall , Mr . Titus Brooke , D ^ wsbary , Mr . James HoJliday , Oldham , Mr . Penny , Heckmondwike . Mr . Leach , Manchester , Mr- Hobson
Leeds , Mr . Pitkethly , and Mr . W . Storks , Huddersfield , Mr . Wm . Loveit , London , Mr . O'Higgins , Dublin , Mr . Linton , Seiby ; and Mr . O'Gorman Mahon . 2 ^ dw , there are twenty men for you , and I r-ould memion many m ^ re twenties ; but what wonld 1 not give to see those twenty men in the House of Commons , while I was on ihe waich-rower outside , and they were led on by Mr . Dusccmbe intide ! What fair order conld they give me that I wcuid not fearlessly execute ? and what , then , would be the position of Chartism ?
We could also calculate npon the support of such men as Sbarman Crawford , FieSden , General Johnson , Williams of Coventry , acd several others who , when the standard was raised inside , would be glad to rally round it . Tbe pledge which we would put to our candidate would be this ; upon their word of honour to resign their trust tbe moment they were called upon to do so by a majority of the noneleciorp of the place that they repre > ented ; and bad a- the House of Commons is , r . o member , aVter , violating such a pledge , wonld be aUowed to open his lips . The pledge that we wt , u ? d rrquire from any party with whom we coalesced wcnlo be , that eivcry el-. ctor of that party should vo : e for our candidate , whil ^ as our party could be relied uj ^ d , we would reserve cur votes to the Isst to stc that fair p ) ay had oeen had . Those who required cur co-operation , should also qualify any Chartist candidate , to prehim for his seatand with the uim lvi uis real iiie maiiiiiicr /
Dare : machinery propare ; sjiu wnu pio- perly at work the Convention should appoint a C ^ rn- j mittee before whom the registration roll of every , city , town , and borough , should be laid , wherein the * bearing of each votvr should be marked ; and then . the next arrangement would be s-o to apply our forces as to insnre the success of our plan . j For instance : suppose tbe Whigs to try another } struggle for aEctndancy , they would not wish lolose I John Cam Hobbonse for Nottingham ; aDd upon tnat understanding we could make our Terms thus : take whom you please as your man , but the penalty must be , thai you have our man . Suppose a refu = ai to j follow thi 3 proposal ; we would then give the option ; to Mr . Walter and his friends : to tjs , it would ;
matter not a pin which party accepted ; while if , good faith was kept , we would guarantee to the . party who coalesced with us , all the Chartist snpport in that county and its remaining boroughs in aid of their party . Again , in Halifax , they conld not affcrd to lose Chas . Wood , but they should lose him if they refused to come to cur terms . So with Leicester , where Sir John Easihope , the proprietor of the Chronicle , wpnld jrladly hold office upon this double ' tenure , rather tfcun allow the two seats to devolve npon two Tories . So wuh Bradford ; so with G ' ssgow ; so with ? vcrt-hanipi < . 'n ; so with Preston , Kewcastle , Oliham , Bolton , Stockport , Marylebone , Tower Hainlcts , and scores of places where , under . the sys-. tm of exclusive tlea ! n £ , the Chanist body
would not only hold the balance of power , but tbe ascendancy , at a contested election . j Kow suppose , after a calm review of the whole ; snbject that the Executive and Convention were to i dirtci their attention to the twenty most likely ! places , 1 ai-k yon wherein the eifneulty lies , if not ; in the people ' s own apathy ? and if ic lies there , do ; they not jastly merit all the suffering and degrada- ) uon of which they complain \ For the last few j years I have been endeavouring to rouse you to the I performance of yonr du » y at municipal elections ;
but strong as yonr expressed dtsires appear to be 1 before the struggle , you meree in'o corruption and 1 apathy upon the day of battle . You feast upon the poison of your enemies for a meal or two ; and ^ then j disgorge , to the fad recollection that you hare justi- 1 fied the corraplor in bis worst actB of oppression . This apatky of the working classes is mainly attri- 1 butable to the apathy of iheir leaders , and to the I want of a proper system of Organization . Let but ; the leaders shew themselves worthy of confidence , by the honourable discharge of their duties , and 1 will answer for the cordial co-operation of the
people . 1 I have this day ( Tuesday ) received the following , letter from a hard-working taau which I publish , as it contains the first remittance uuder the new Plan of Organization . The writer deserves great praise ; while I trust that his example will be followed by his own order ; and in the hope that out of srillneES and oppression , active liie and practical liberty may spring , I remain , Yonr faithful friend , FEAScrs O'Coxnob , The following 13 the letter to which Mr .

MANCHESTER—Carpehteb's Hall—A . lecture wad deiivereu iu the above Hull on Sunday evening last , by Mr . Wm . Dixen . The audience was large and respectable , who listened with marked attention to what the lecturer advanced . At the close of the lectare Mr . Dixon gave an account of the proceedings of tlfe Birmingham Conference . The various provisiohs'forthe better Organization of the Chartist body referred to by Mr . D . were received with the marked approbation of the vast assemblage . Mr . Dixon sax dowu amid repeated rounds of applause . A gentleman in the body of the Hall moved " That the thanks of tbe Chartistg of Manchester be given to Mr . Dixon for his conduct in the Conference , and al > o for his lecture this evening . " Mr . T . Rankin seconded the motion , nhich was carried by acclamation .
The Victims—At the conclusion of the public business a met-ting of members took place in orderto elect a Victim Fund Committee , in accordance with the recommendation of the ialo Conference . The todng mbs of Manehesfer held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday night , when John Hargravcs delivered an interesting lecture . The audience was numerous aud respectable . Thb Nobth Lancashibe Delegate Meeting was held at Mr . Beesle >' s , at Accriugton , on Sunday , the 17 th inst . Delegates were present from Acerington , Clitherce , Blackburn , Colne , Sabden , Pad i ham , and Bacup . Mr . Smith officiated as Chairman ; Mr . Heaton as Secretary . Resolved" That iBach delegate report the state of the locality
he may represent , and that the Secretary take a verbatim report , and that it be sent to the Star , with a request to the Editor to insert it . " The JPadiham delegate could not say that his locality has made much progress of late , but was convinced it would do . The late Conference had caused a good feeling that would ultimately work out something beneficial . The Sabden delegate said his district had been in a declining state ; but , through the new plan of Organization , had no doubt of speedy improvement . Believed that dissensions aud bickerings had weakened the body . It is therefore the duty of every well-wishing Chartist to avoid such for the future . The Bacup delegate said his locality was in a low condition ; they had at present only about
fifteen members . Before the Strike , they had above one hundred . Whether they could raise them again by the new Plan of Organization he conld not teil ; but were determined to try . The Colne delegate said his constituency was disratibfied wi . h the new Plan of Organization ; when Mr . Marsden gave iu a report of his stewardship , they rook the opinionof the members upon it , and they could not find one that was in favour of it . Tcey think that Buch a preponderating power being given to the Executive will split the Chartist body up into sections . The Blackburn delegate said that in Blackburn they were gradually and steadily progressing ; they had about one hundred paying members . He had not heard any complaints against the new
Plan of Organization—( hear , hear ) . The Chairman said he was glad to hear so cheering an account from the Blackburn delegate . He wished be could say as much of his own locality ( Accrington ); thty had no place to hold thtir lectures in , thoir members were few , and they were in debt , but they were determined to persevere . The Clitheroe delegate said that the democratic feeling and hatred of injustice and oppression was strong in Clitheroe . Taero was not a locality in England that had greater obstacles to contend against . Tney had last week taken a house to met t in ; but the authorities weio endeavouring to take it from them , but they would stick like wax , and would stand them a desperate
struggle for it . It was only the day before that the bill poster was stepped when posting placards , announcing a Chartist leciure ; and when the bill-poster asked the reason , he was told that the Mayor had given orders that no such placards should be posted . The authorities wero determined to put Chartism down , and the Chartist body were determined to raise it np . A yoto of thankB was given to the Chairman , when the delegates determined to labour with redoubled energy in the good cause . It was resolved unanimously : " That a delegate meeting be held on SuDday , Oct . * . h , 1843 , in the Social Institute , Patiiham , at ekven o ' clock in the forenoon , when delegates from all localities in Nonh Lancashire are respectfully requested to attend .
Mb . Bicbard Marsden , on his return from tho Birmingham Conereuce , gave an account of his stewardship in tbe Chartist Beom , York-street , on Friday evening , the loih instant . Mr . M . went through the doings of'the Conference in a brief and unsophisticated manner , and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was passed to him for his services . SUNDERIAND . —Mr . Dickinson , of Manchester , has been holding a series of very successful meeiiLgs in Sunderlaud , and has excited no little enthusiasm in all who heard him . The result has been a contidtrable addition to the Chartist ranks in that town . Mr . Dickinson has gone to Cumberland , but will shortly return to Sunderiand , when the new Organization wi > l be forthwith carried out . Any locality in the county of Durham wishing for the services of Mr . D ., must write te Mr . Christopher Scott , No . 10 , Ropery Lane , Sunderland .
KiMBEBJiE'Sr . —A considerable number of the Nottingham Chartists paid a visit to Ktmberley on Sunday last , and held largemeetings in the afternoon find evening , which were addressed with good effect by Messrs . Dorman , Barber , and Pepper , OLDEAM . —On Sunday evening last , the Chartists of this locality met in their room , Greavc ' sstreet , when the Hfw Plan of Organization was ably read by Mr . S . Yardky . The audience was numerous and ret-pectabie , and-gave general
satisfaction . At the members' mectinc on Monday evening , 10 .-=. was voted to be sent to Mr . O'Connor , for thu Executive Committee to commence their labours , as the good men and true are fiite anxious io enrol under the Kew Plau . It likewise may not be uninteresting to the Chartist pablic to know that in cop . rfqueuce of the refusal of the Town Hall for Mr . O'Connor to deliver a lecture in , by the sham Radicals , upwards of one hundred shares have been taken , in five week ' s time , for the erection of a Working Mau ' s Hull .
| BniSTOX .. —At the usual meeting of tho Bristol Chartists , on Monday iVt-ning , it waB resolved" That the whole of the members be summoned to the weekly meeting , to iafee the necessary steps for carrying out the new plan of Organization . " CARLISLE . —Meeting of the Council of the Carlisle Chartist a sscciation . —A public meeting of the above-uamfd body look plncn at their room , No . 6 , John-Ftreet , Caldcvrgatc , on Sunday last , Mr . John < 3 ilbertson in the chair . Several Bums were paid in from different disiricts , for the use of the Association , after which the minutes of last , meeting were read over and confirmed . The leading stride of last week ' s Star , on ihe subject of the Victim Fu » d , was read over and approved of ; also the
address of the late Conft-ru ce on the same subject . A very animated discussion fc . 'lowcd , as to the propriety of having a general collection on Saturday evening , tbe 23 rd iustw It was then moved by Mr . James Muir , and seconded by Mr . James O'Neil , " That a collection be ir-ade " on Saturday next , in aid of the T . ctim Fund . " Mr . Carruthers said that as £ \ had been already pent to the Vicioi Fund , and a balance of 7 s . 6 d . being in hand , he would move " That the balance on band be sent to the Victim Fund , and no collection made on Saturday first . " This amendment having been seconded , was about to be put , when Mr . William Coulth ^ rd moved as fnr : heramendment , and Mr . Joseph Brown seconded the same , " That a collection be made 011 Saturday
first , for the Victim and DefVnce Funds , and that the Council have the power of applying it to either one or the other . ' On which Mr . Carruthers withdrew his amendment , j&nd Mr . Coulthard ' s was carried by a majority of eight- to two . The address of the Conference was then read by the Chairman , and highly applauded . Mr . Arthur then drew the attention of the Council to the subject of those persons whose fate was still nndecided in the Court of Queen ' s Bench ; as he believed , that many persons in the country were not aware they were lo be again called up , but considered they were all cleared ; so that it was highly necessary that the conntry fully understood the facts of the case . It was then moved by Mr . Henry Bowman , and seconded bv Mr . James Muir . — " That the members
• f the Council of the Carlisle Cbartiat Association , respectfully recommend , to the editor of the Northern Star the propriety of ^ publishing the names and residences of those persons involved is count four of the ' monster indictment / and whose case hare not yet been decided in th » Cout of Qneea'e Bench ; as many persons are sot aware of the great expenee likely to be incurred . " The motio » was pnt and carried unanimously . A motion was then put and carried that a balance of five shillings , which was in the hands of the Treasurer for Dr . M'Douall be remitted to Mr . John Cleave , the Treasurer , which with £ 2 : 15 s . that was remitted a few weeks ago , would mike up the very handsome sum of £ 3 . Some pecuniary matters were then Bettled , and the Council sojourned until Sunday , the 24 th instant .

NOTTINGHAM .- [ Arrived too lute for publication last week ]—A public meeting was held in the Democratic Cuapul , on Tuesday evening , to hear the report of the delegate to the Birmingham Conference . Mr . B . Humphries was unanimously cilled to the chair , after which Mr ; R . T . Morrison britfly detailed the proceedings at Birmingham , and pointed out the leading provisions of the plan , and their application to practice . He explained the alterations that had been made in it , and concluded by pointing oat the advantages attendant upon the plan adopted , not only as on efficient and safe orgarr ' zition , but as interweaving our principles with toe social relations of life , removing pu-judice , pointing ont our ulterior measures , and providing a place where thealiaht savings of the people would be used for their
own benefit and the attainment of their tighta , instead of beiDg employed apainet them , and to continue their slavery—( cbeeivs ) . He would be glad to answer any questions and give every information to them in bis power . Mr . H . Dorman saut that it was doubtless very pleasing to have the laud in prospective ; but the plan provided for the people to pay either threepence or sixpanee per week to the Land Fund ; and how weuld they be able to pay such a sum ? Tho Conference seemed to forget the condition of tbe people ; it was possible that the members of the Conference slight p : vy such a sum , but they should have remembered they were legislating net for themselves but for the working obssea . Mr . Morripon could assure biro that thoy bad not forgot the condition of the people . He had proposed that the
subcription to the Land Fund should be from threehalfpeoce to one shilling per week , and it was ultimately agreed upon , that it should range from a penny to a shilling Mr . H . Dormari still considered that the Conference bad made a class disti ' . etlon and he wishurt to know whether they had or not He wished to be informed whether the man who paid one penny per . week would bave a chance of getting upon tbe land as soon as tbe inau who paid one shilling ; for if that was not tho cane , they had taken an undue advantage of t * ie poor . Mr . Morrison explained that the means of deciding who pliould be firss located npoh tbe land was by lot . Ihe provision for lotting ; , »»« I' -ft witH mo u * vuu » i ) ot fnUTo Conferences ; hut it would not rie wt ^ oh . d in the prevent stitteof society that those who contributed
the moit would havu a greater chance of be'tif 7 loaatf-d soonest . Ho woutd wiRh to see the tim « when "v < .-ry man would cou .--dc-r it to bu his duty to do the unnost he ciivld for Uu > good of society ; . but in the present state , if there wtre not additional advantages nrtwiij ^ a shilling contribution over the penny one , he would . isk how mauyi shilling subscribers they would have ? The Land Fund must bo looked upon as a place of deposit ; aud if they only gave an interest to those who contributed one shilling the same as if they contributed onepensy , he was afraid the contributions would be small . In tluel > a c :. so operations would be crippled to the detriment even of the smaller subscribers , ana the larger ones would « t { ll be deposifGii with their oppressojs—ihear . bear . ) Ali were equal in the political
part of the plan . Mr . J . Barber understood that if any person was unable to pay his subscription to tbe General Fund bo would be dismissed ; but ic was explained that if aDy person * through sickn ; -is or poverty , was unable to pay his contribution , hefhouid still continue a member and be entitltd to take part and vote by his name being enrolled , and having his card reno < ved , which . was not . charged for except whea he flist entered . They bad also . provided fer shilling quarterly cards for this . e wko wished to pay their sub .-c iptio a q-i ^ rterly , and endeavonred to adapt the Pliiii to nil cases . Mr . Dorman end Mr . Peters ofi ' ered some further observations as to : the inability of the people to carry out the aliotuif-nt system . Mr . BVrber instanced tut Orange Ciubs and Trades' Ui . ionf , to sU . jw that the
< Tuveniuient could at any time suppress them . Mr . Momson , after replying as to the inability of the people to carry oat tbe allotment system , . in-ed that if th » ir prcuHiMits were correct , all tho o > jt : : ti > ns which b d been t :: ken on this and former occ in : enu fell to the ground ; for atany rate it enabled them to have a nuire safe and efficient organ ization than they ever h'td or couid hive by other mrana . He would nsk whether they could point out any other organizition equal to it , independent of the land fund , or whether they could Revise orv ? T ^ e cflRes of tbeO ~ nnge Ciuba ; - . n-i Trees ' Unions wrrc nvt in point . Tho law's bv which they ¦ wt- re 8 ; ippr"hPfid were * n existence at tho time Trades ' U lions w .-ro formed , and the olhet did not interfere

They would not do either one or the other ; but should they cio so , they would rentier our i « iuje tho most » S \; ciU"l service , by rousing such a spirit of indignation ab tb < y would find it no trusy malter to withsttEd—( cbeerff . A vote of thanks was prcpo-ed and carried unanimously , amidst considerable applause , to Mr R T .

STOCKPORT . Mr . Thomas Clark leotured here on Sunday evening last . The audience was numerous . The lecturer [ dwelt at considerable length on the power the working classes possessed , if they had sufficient good sense to bring it to bear against their enemies , and proved to demonstation , that until working men ceased to spenjktheir hard earnings in supporting bloated publican ^ lhey would not oither possess , or deserve to have their Charter . The lecturer concluded a lengthy and telling address by calling upon his hearers , ione and all , to become memhers of the New Association . The sum ot 9 i . 4 A 1 . was collected at the door .
DUMFRIES . —On Monday se ' nnight , Mr . War - rop delivered his weekly address iu the Market Place : subject , " The Combination Laws . " Tho lecture was a good one , aiui well received by a numerous audience ; indeed , ' th ^ se meetings appear to increuso on every occasion . To-night he had intended to discuss the question of Organizition , and Iny the now plan before ihp p ? ople , but was prevented by family sfflction . jThe plan of the Conference is greatly approved oi in this locality .
DUNDEE . —Mr . John Arrart , from Bradford , who ib now officiating ou the Sundays in the Chartist church hero , delivered a lecture in the above place ou the evening of Monday last . The lectare occupied about an hour add a half ; the sul'j'c . boing " The advantages to be derived from a Charter Parliament . " He was Hstenen to throughout with marked attention aud repeatedly cheered ; indeed we have seldom listened with more pleasure to any lecture delivered ia the same place . At tbe close of the above lecture the usual weekly meeting of tho Democratic Council , for ! the transacting of busin > as was convened , when after the neco = si ! y fora union between Eiiglaud and ; Scotland being entered
into , it was moved ana carried by acclamation , — " Tnat we invite Messrs . O'Connor and Duncombe to honour this place with a visit at their earliest convenience in order to lay tho foundation of a union between the two countries , is aUo to bring into active operation the Englibh Plan of Organ zxtiou . " After some routine .. business bting transacted the meeting broke up with a s-rong desire ou their part that tho other towns ia Sootlatid should follow this example , being convinced that a visit from these gtntlemen would most effectually establish that union so much desired by the people of England , and also by a great portion , indeed we believe the great mijjrUy , of tho peopki of Scotland .
GLASGOW . —The weckJy meeting of the Committee of the Charter Association was held in the Young Men ' s Academy , College-street , on Monday evening , Mr . Mitchell in ! the chair . Mr . Smith moved thao the committee , hn order to extend v ! ie operations of the Associa'icm , < lo agree to get up lectures in tho various districts ia the neighbourhood of the city . Mr . Colquhou * moved an amendment to the effect , that as the Pl » n of National Organization adopted by tb . 3 late Birmingham Conference , was now before the country , th > y ( the Directors ) should take no further steps jtill tho people of G : adgo ' w had decided whether to 3 lin the National Association , or coutinuo as tha Glasgow Association . The amendment was supported by Mr . Adams , and
others . Un the vote being / taken , the amendment was carried all but uaaniniou > ly . Mr . Colquhouu movod that a commit too be appointed to inquire as to the best works on tho ! a , ctory system , and agriculture . Agre d to . It was then agreed , on the motion of" Mr . Adams , that { the New Plan of Organization be taken into consideration on Monday evening next ; and from the importance of tho subject , tho collectors were instructed to make it as widely known as possible . It is therefore expected that all these who take an interest in this important movement will consider it their duty to be present ; we have been long in the way of pulling down , it ia now high time we were beginning to
build up . To the mere declaimer the rlan now issued may not b <; congenial ; to the trafficking politician it holds out no hop , e . Those whose object was to live upon the movement , are not likely to give much countenance , or | co-operatioa , to what is calculated to destroy their [/ rospectw . It is time we wtre out of the hands of Ibath the one and the other ; and it is to be hoped that our English brethren will be guarded in their choice of thos-iwho may be fixed upon as lecturers . Much will depend , not only upon their talent ^ but on their prudence and moral rectitude . A single i ' tilso ttep , however unintentional , would entail more disaster on the cau = e than a&vthin ^ thai has hither ; 0 befallen us .
