PROGRESS OF THE NEW PLAN OF ORGANIZATION . 2 Jt the snbjoined address , from the General Secretary elect of the New National Chabteb Association , it will bs seen that the Plax has been duly laid before the certifying Barrister ; and that Tuesday next is fixed by him for the returning of his answer . Next week , therefore , we folly expect io be able to announce the ENROLMEN I of the " Laws and Constitution . " In the meantime all is being done , that can be done , to forward the good work of active practical
operations . The Executive elect ; or at least such of them as reside in London , met on Thursday , to arrange such preliminary matters as presented themselves to their attention . As soon as the Ekeoliiest is perfected , measures for the procurement of the Chabteb authorising the holding of Branches , mil be taken ; and cards of Membership got ready ; Inlt it would not be prudent to actually prepare ihese , before the Laws , of which they are detail necessaries , are actually Enrolled ; actually placed out of doubt .
Steps have been taken for the getting up of a set of books for Braneh purposes : a set of books at ones simple , efficienlj and uniform : by means of which ihe Branch accounts can be intelligibly kept . On ststek much depends : and in no portion of our operations is system so much needed , as in the matter of accounts . By the set of book 3 that wiE . be prepared , the accouats can be kept so as to be ready , ai any time , to be laid before the members , without having to wait for much ** making np , " or iis being
necessary to draw out a * balance sheet" before they ire at all understandable . This is of great importance . The success of our operations , especially cow ihat those ^> pera $ ions involve the working of two , or more , distinct Fcxds , will greatly depend on the simplicity and uniformity with which the accounts are kept . If we have not ststek , confusion will soon creep in , in spite of the best intentioa : and where confusion is , costidesce cannot exist : and without confidence success is hopeless . With ststem and Simplicity , coxfidbscb is sure to exist .
There will need , in the first instance , a " General £ 1 ehsees' Exbolkkkt Book , " in each Branch , set-Jlng forth , under distinct heads , the nnmber ; name , Christian and sarname ; place of abode ; occapation ; whether married or single ; if married , number of family ; and whether voter , Parliamentary or munieipal , of £ Tery member ; together with each oiher information as may be deemed useful and necessary for local purposes . This enrolment will be invaluable at elections . There is the information at o » ce , as to the extent and -whereabouts of certain Chartist strength . . And many occasions will arise when ihe information afforded by this perfect enrolment of the members can be used with manifest benefit to the general cause .
There will also need , in addition to this General Enrolment Book , a Costbixctiom Book ., " for both the Funds , General and Special ; so arranged as to enable the Secretary to keep both funds perfectly distinct , yet both in one book , to prevent complexity and delay . This will be fonnd to be amply provided for ; and the system so simple that a man with half an eye cannot go wrong . There will also need a ' * Cash Book ., " in which io enter all the proceeds of tha Braneh , from
whatever source ; but still the several funds distinctly set forth ; so that at any time the amount received on each , and the amount in hand , can be immediately set forth . The payments , too , either of proportion of General Fund to Executive Committee ; or of whole Land Fund to General Treasurefc ; or of MisceHaneoas Fund for the general erpences of the Branch , must also be distinctly set forth . This will be accomplished in a simple and cfacient manner , in the Cash Book prepared for general use by ihe Branches .
The " Tbeastbzb ' s Book" will also be prepared in a manner to enable him , at once , to say what the amount of money paid into his hands on the Bevera ] and distinct funds has been ; and also to specify his payments under each distinct bead . Thus ststes , clear and uniform ^ will d ® * ' once introduced and enforced . With such a system , and ordinary vigilance and caution , it will scarcely be possi ble for any Branch to get wron&Jn its accounts : Trith&Bt some such system , it will hardly be possible toprtTent confusion asd error , even where the dispoauoa is all on ihe side of right and truth .
¦ For the Gbteeai Sxcheiabt * set of books must be prepared , at once clear , ample , 4 efined , and eomprehenaiTe ; books worthy of the magnitude of our ¦ Association ; and a credit to the business-habits of the Executive Committee-men . The General Secretary viilhcne much to do , with the best and most simple set of books that can be devised : but his labour "wiD be enhanced ten-fold , and still unsatisfactorily performed , if not applied onsrsTEX , srwitha bad and unintelligible set of books . On thi 3 head we are aladio have to record the fact , thai every aasist&coft has been rompUy ani kindlj offered by

| those who hvre had much experience to guide them ; who have had U » at experience to purchase at a dear rate ; but who will xUdly give us the benefit of it , by setting forth their stste * , - ^ th all the suggestions for improvement } that later experience has prompted We therefore confidently exptct that our General Secretary will be at once enabled to commence operations in a manner not at all equ&lled by any society of working men that ever yet had being This , oF itself , is of high moment . With confusion in the general office , system in the branches would be of Jiitle comparative Talue ; with system all throngh , from head office downvrard , it will be impossible Io pravent success .
Of course , all these preparations will take some time , even after the plan is enrolled . Bui that need not deter the several localities from entering upon their preparations also . They have much to do , before they are ready for fail operations . Applies tions for Chabiebs , signed by at least ten names , will hare to be forwarded to the General Execuriwj Committee , as soon as it is called into active beiBg by the enrolment of the plan ; and ihese can be immediately prepared . The form is given in the Plan of Organization ; that orm should be neatly copied on a sheet of good foolscap paper ; and when ruled in accordance with the pointed form , so & 3 to
sei forth m columns the information specified , it can bs signed by the ten names fixed upon in each locality to be appointed toil . Then when the lawsareenrolled , and the Exixdiivb called in active operation , the " application" can be duly forwarded , with a statement as to the number of cards , &c . that will be required . As soon as the Charter and cards are ready for delivery , they will be forwarded to all those places whsro the Executive Committee deem it expedient vo gram them . These " applications " then , can be immediately prepared ; so that no delay may occur in the procurement of the Chabtebs authorising the holding of Branches , after they are ready for issue .
We have said that the " application" should be neatly prepared . Such " applications" will have to be duly filed and preserved in the archives of the Association ; and will , perhaps , in after times , be looked upon with no ordinary degree of interest by those who then enjoy freedom and happiness , secured to them by the efforts of iheir lathers through this very Association . Each locality can also canvas for , and procure .
lists of names ioi due Enrolment in the general books of the Association as soon as it is in active existence . They will also need funds for their Brafich Charter ; for books of accounts ; for cards ; and for other expences . Tnese they can be now raising ; by contributions among themselves and by donations from friends . The breathing time that is thus afforded , before active energetic operations , commence may be most usefully employed , in getting-together the sinews of war .
As soon as a Branch is called into existence , by the Chabteb being in their possession , an election for officers in the manner set forth in the Plan will take place : such election being for the period intervening between and the time fixed for the general quarterly election . Bnt , before hand , the several localities can talk the matter over , aa to who would be likely to invest with office ; regard , we hope , being continually had to the capability of the parties to fill the several situations . To have the Plan EFFICIENTLY worked , the officials must be EFFICIENT men . This is the first , the main consideration , after honesty and integrity .
All this the people in their several localities can immediately see to . They can also aid in another vital matter . The Executive , when called into active beiiig , will need support . The enbolment of the laws will cost money . We believe that the fee is one guinea for every county in which the rules are Enrolled . It has been determined , by the Committee of Conference , to Enrol in the three main English ( Chartist ) counties at first ; and the others can be Enrolled in at anytime afterwards , as circumstances may call for . The Scotch Counties will also receive attention , when the Executive meets with full authority .
But this Enrolment will cost money . There will also need account books for the general office ; offieeihtinga ; and many other expenses . To meet these w « should have a voluntary subscription . The call made by Mr . O'Co . tnob in last Star should be well responded to . We are happy to see that some localities have already-responded , by voting suins of money oat of their funds for this purpose . By next week we trust to see the example generally followed .
There ib also the suggestion and example of Mr . Stau-wood , recorded at the end of Mr . O'Consob ' s letter of this day . That , too , is deserving of imitation . Much of the effi ciency of our movement depends upon the start it gets : and if started well at iead-qnarters , it will run a far better chance of a good start in each Branch . Let vs then start the Executive well ] Let this be one of our . bounden dnties .
Mr . O'Consob commenced , last week , by his subscription of £ 2 . Thia very day a gentleman called at the office ; and after handing over to as £ 1 for the Victix Fund , also gave us another £ 1 for the New Executive ; convinced , as he expressed himself , that the movement now to be made is allimportant ; and that iis success will be much forwarded by extensive monet-suppobt at the beginning That subscription we thus chronicle : — Mr . Titu 3 S . Brooke , Dewobnry £ 1 To it we add : — Editor of Northern Star ... ... ... £ 1
BaTing now practised , as well as preached , we trust we are entitled to call on others to " go and do likewise . " There are many attached to our ranks ; and many more not openly joined with us , to whom o sovereign is of little consequence ; not so much as a penny is to a hand-loom weaver . From ihese we have a right to expect support . We trust they will take the hint ; those of thorn who Tead the Northern Star . Thi 3 movement is one of vital consequence . It is fob them to see to it , that their part is fnlly performed .
We hear , too , of many parties who " are looking . ixxiousLY on" at the step we are taking ; and who are " highly satisfied at the pbogbess we have made . " Thesb parties are bound to lend pecuniary aid . On them we call . We do not ask them to join us . Probably they may have enough to do in other Associations ; but we have a right to ask for moneysympathy from the wealthy of them . That will be the be 3 t evidence of their high satisfaction ; and it will add another liiik to the chain that is to bind all
friends of the poor in one firm union at last . To them , therefore , we appeal . Aid gives kow will be of more value than when we less need it . V A hint to the wise is sufficient . " Of course , where it is desired , the names of donors will be published , when their subscriptions are announced t where it is not desired , they can be set forth in any way the parties wish . Mr . O'Connob is General Treasurer ; and all monies sent to him , care of Mr . J . Cxeave , 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet-street , will be duly acknowledged and applied .
Commending these remarks , suggestions , ana appeals io tae several parties to whom they are addreBsed , we now give the statement of the General Secretary elect as to what has been done towards the Enbolkent of the lawB : — m

.. . ^ . — . „_ REPUBLICANISM IN SPAIN . WHO IS THE PROPHET ? Let us see how theioafter ^ ibont which we have been predicting g ^ M ^ flttif ^ retold that the visit of the Queen io ^ tiM ^ HHv'Hhe Trench , meant more than ihe tanrj ^^^^ H ^ bf compliments between an o ^ mau ~| q ^^ Htog woman . We said that tbo old ^ DiplomaraFroald play for Spain ; but the Times lor a Jong < nnewasshy , and would not bite . We directed attention to the fact that the all-absorbing question for the consideration of the little congress , would be the " means by which the growing demand for Republicanism could be
arrested . " We directed attention to the horror with which the idea of Spain declaring for a Bepublic would strike the " King of the Barricades" . We animadverted upon the precipitancy with which the Cabinet of St . Jamea ' s had reoongnized the Government of the bloody Narvez , and his bloody soldier-shooting , liberty-destroying crew . True , the Times told us that" our Government recognized the tyranfs title no further than ordering our Minister at the Court of Spain to transact business with the usurper " . How much further he could have gone under present circumstances we are at a loss to understand ; but shall look to the Leading Journal for information . It appears that the bloody rufiian ,
Narvez , is so haunted by his butcheries , his treasons , and hia treacheries , that he has bftoa summoned by Crjstina . the Spanish miBeblBft maker and prime favourite of the French King , to attend her in Paris ; and for what purpose does the reader think 1 Why to invite French aid in the establishment of Spanish tyranny , and to secure the Spanish throne as a marriage portion for the French King's son ! And how does the reader suppose the noninterfering Leading Journal prepares the way for such intervention ? Why thus : " A measure" ( says the Times of Thursday ) " which appears to indicate some desire to coalesce with ANY THING that is not revolutionary , in order to stay the FLOOD OF
REPUBLICANISM WITH WHICH SPAIN AND ITS RULERS ARE THREATENED . " Now then , may we not sorrow / uIJf , but prdudJy ask , H Who is the pbophet ? " Aye , and the one great ghost that haunts the mind of every tyrant upon earth is the "Flood of Republicanism , " with whi ch misrule is " THREATEN ED . " The caTions article in the Times come upon us so late in the week than wo have not time to give it that "fioodof republican" consideration which it so justly merits ; but we must observe that upon no one subject has the . meandering Times felt itself compelled to make so many chops , slopes , and changes upon so much of the Spanish question and French intrigue as has coma under the review of that Jim Crow Journal
Aye ! Spain is sure to become a Republic , and God speed her ! Espartebo is likely to be the first President , and then Louis Philippe will squeak And after he has gone , how many years purchase will the other European Thrones ( always excepting England ) be worth ? Who can say ?

It is not ¦ withheld from any disrespect to himself personally , or from any desire to prevent him occupying bis proper position before the Chartist public ; bnt wholly and solely from a fear that its insertion , involving as that insertion would reply and explanation , would cause discussions of a nature not at all desirable at the present time , because they woald inevitably lead to distraction from that ¦ which should be the one sole object of every friend at the present moment , the reorganiz ition of our ranks . Many ma'ters are mooted in the letter , and put in such a way , as would be sure to cause attention . To let these go without rep l \ would be unjust to other parties ; and thus a discussion trould inevitably arise ; a discussion of that nature , too , which would be sure to lead to disunion . Under

O'Connor , the Treasurer , to the care of Mr . Cleave , 1 , Shoe Lane , Fleet-street , London .

John SM-abt , Abebdeen , in reference to the New Organization , Bays— " We will now take up the new scheme with earnestness and determination . I hope all good patriots will agree in giving instant effect to the labours of the Conference , who , In my opinion , and I know in the opinion of the Aberdeen Chartists generally , did their work nobly " . We are happy to bear that such are the sentiments of our friends in tbe far North . We can inform our Correspondent that the men of Aberdeen do not stand alone in their determination to forthwith join their English brethren . - From all quarters of " North the
Tweed" -we have letters of congratulation on the adoption by the Delegates , of the " New Plan " . We have long been talking of and urging the union of the democrats of tbe two countries . That union will now undoubtedly be cemented . This alone is worth all the labour and expenca of the late Conference ; this alone will be a prond reward to the delegates for their labours . —rthe consciousness that , frem their deliberations has resulted a measure which will bind in the holy bonds of brotherhood the long-divided , and therefore long-oppressed , people of " merrie England" and " bonnia Scotland " .
UNION with Scotland . —Since writing tbe above , we have received our " weekly budget" from Glasgow , which will be fjund in another column . " Honest John Colquhoun , " assisted by friend Adams asd others of tbe enlightened and truly patriotic leaders of Glasgow Chartism , are working away in gallant style to effect a junction of the two great wings of the Democratic army .

" This is right The Pian has been adopted by the English Chartists through iheir delegates , instiucted ior that purpose . But tbe Scottish Chartists
being unrepresented in the late Conference , the prcpei mode of procuring for the Plan the legitimate sanction of the Scottish people is undoubtedly that pursued by our Glasgow friends .

" E . Riley will see from Mr . Wheeler ' s letter in another column that in all likelihood tbe plan will be Enrolled by the time , or within a few hours after this meets the eye of our correspondent . 'With respect to the " Charters" they are indispensible for the opening of all Branches . They are intended to guard the body against anything like spurious
membership ; to prevent any number of persons , who might be even opposed to Chartism , getting together , and calling themselves a Branch of tbe body . The " Chaitsrs" will afford to the body at large a guarantee , that worthy and fitting characters only will belong to the Association ; and when any Branch shows itself unworthy or unfit , its 'Chatter" ; aa provided for in the rules ) will be withdrawn . The words of the clause in which ' payment for the " Charter" is provided for , are , " a sum not txteeding 2 s . 6 d . shall be charged , &a . " This is merely to cover the cost of the document , which it is intended shall be of a superior description—fit to be framed and glszid and bung up in the room of the Branch : an honourable ornament , ' which tbe members will regard with honest pride , as the authority by which they meet as members of the National Charter Association . We are glad to find that E . Riley ' s locality is anxious for tbe Enrolment of the plan . Such we are happy to Bay is the feeling generally .
Ashion . —We see by a Liverpool paper that there is another partial turn-out of the Ashton Spinnera . Wo have received a large printed placard addressed to the master manufacturers , for which we have not room . It appears from the placard , that the Messrs . Hail and Co . Currin-lane , are paying a rate of wages far below , that of other firms , and far below that agroci to be paid by all the firms—the Messrs . H . and Co . included . The result is ; that other firms are compelled , or encouraged to reduca wages also . Hence the turn-out . Oliver grievances are complained of . We hope : tbe truly respectable manufacturers of tbe town will take the side of tbe men in opposing a system pregnant with misery to the working , and ruin in tbe long run to all other classes . Henry Pitt . —We fear our correspondent has but little chance of recovering the money . The expence of trying will be considerable ; and bis chances of success are but slender indeed .

A meeting was called at Edinburgh to sym&thise with Dr . Kniley , whose oflyoce bf-thebye is tbe undefined and untlefioeable crime called " Blasphemy . " A l » t of hen-intrasfonist ministers who are also , according to their own account , " sufferers for conscience-sake , '' took the lead ; the notorious Dr . Candlish moving the first resolution . The Dr .
was heard with every attention . The resolution was seconded , when just as the Lord Provost rose to put the resolution , a Mr . Jepfry rose to move an amendment in addition ! to the resolution . He was Jminediately ; assailed by the " sympathisers" with ' 'J ^^ st , " i ^ bim out ' 7 and a most tremendous £ fflBgfflyhift 8 ea , and expressions of disapprobation . m& ofall this was , that Mr . Jeffrey is a > 3 H | HpL | cUiirer , and therefore considered fair frame | KTx 35 $ j < 5 own by these pretended advocates of " Civil and feeuglbos Liberty" . ' The Lord Provost refused to allow Mr . "JEFFREY j to proceed ; and Mr . J . * refused to be put rtcm . The police were then introduced into the hall , vho j " of course " ' dragged Mr . Jeffrey from the platform ! Mr . Southwell
immediately took Mr . Jeffrey ' s ! : place ; the police dragged him away ! Mr . PatersoJn , tbe bookseller , followed ; a policeman hurled him from the platform headlong ! He was then seized by the 7 ieck , and dragged through the meeting I His hair torn from his head ! He was beaten with sticks , and his head laid open I Having thus effectually quelled oppositior , if any was intended , though we believe the object ef Mr . Jeffrey and hia friends was simply that of making the resolutions of the meeting more universal in their character , by denouncing persecution for opinion ' s sake , no matter by whom practised The sympathisers proceeded with , nnd finished their business , denouncing in loud and long harangues the cruel persecution of Catholics , and abusing with right Rood
will the Church of Rome aa the mother of all abominations . Jeffrey and Paterson were the next day charged at the Edinburgh police-office with " committing a breach of the peace . " The sort of evidenco against t em' may be gathered from the following . Oaeof the witnesses said : "Thinks an individual comes for the purpose of disturbing 8 meeting when he rites to / address it after a resolution is proposed and Bcconded ?' . When could or should an "individual" riss to " address a meeting" but then ? What a precious idea this witness must have of "free discussion" , and the laws by which public meetings ate governed . We have seldom beard of so brutal and outrageous a violation of public decency and individual right as this case shews . We have
given publicity to tbe case , that the public may know , and justly mark with tbeir reprobation , tbe persecuting spirit of these hypocritical pretemiers to liberality , and clovsn-footed advocates of " civil and religious libeity j" meanipg thereby liberty only for themselves and chains for all tho rest of mankind . The case is not yet decided , having been adjourned . We shall look out for the decision npon it . It is of importance . The right of conduct at public meeting is involved in it . j H . Jones , Liverpool . —Never mind tbe antics of the poor disappointed man . ;< 5 o on without him ; or if be will not permit this , but inflicts his presence ani nv-dling , just quietly hear what he has to say , and then " go on" with yow ; own business , as though
he bad never spoken or been near you at all . If his object is division or turmoil , don't gratify him . Treat him witb that contempt which his Conduet merits . Most assuredly fce will net ba-gratified by seeing himself ! and doings "in print . " He may " dart the JLiverpool men to publish" aa long as be pleases : but no publication here ! It is sufficient that the Liverpool men know him . His power for harm is there ended . If he betakes himself elsewhere , the remembrance of his former doings will toilow him . WiLLTAlf Danjells . —His letter had better be sen to the Executive Council jof the Miner's Union . We a re sure that upon secon ^ thoughts he will see the propriety of withholding it from oar columns .

REPEAL ASSOCIATION . —MONDAY . The usual weekly meeting of this body was held at the Corn Exchange to-day , Michael J . Conway in the chair . | Tho advertisement convening the meeting announced that Mr . O Connell would ] attend ; bnt it was scarcely possible he could arrive in Dublin in sufficient time , having to travel from Clifden , a distance of one hundred and forty miies . ; Mr . FlanNEDT , the j Editor of the Freeman ' s Journal , banded in several subscriptions ; amongst others that of Mr . Samuel Gordon , of No . 23 , Aungierstreet , a gentleman who has heretofore taken an active part in forwarding Tory opinions up to a very late period . \
Mr . Connor , the well-known advocate of fixity of tenure , rose , as he said , to ' give notice that on the next day of meeting he would move the adoption of a resolution to the following effect : — " That until our national rights of self-legislation , be in the possession of our [ own Parliament , and of a valuation and perpetuity of bis farm to the tenant , we Repealers shall pay no rent , county cess , rent charge , tithe , poor rate , or any other charge on land . " He was an enemy to oppression—Mr . JOHN O'Connell begged to interrupt Mr . Connor . He highly approved j of Mr . Connor ' s conduct and untiring exertions to put an end to the dreadful system of extermination practised ! by Irish Tory landlords , but h « could not agTee ia the motion of which Mr . Connor gave notice , therefore he hoped that it would be withdrawn—( hear ) . [ _
Mr . CONNOR Baid if he : was offered hia life as the condition of withdrawing i tbat notice , ha would not accept it ; therefore he would stand or fall by that resolution . He was determined Mr . John O'CoNSELMwas sotry to be obliged to interrupt Mr . Connor again . Any membet of the association had a right to give a notiee of motion , but that motion should be a legal one , and not suah as tbe present , wbich he believed to be entirely iilsgal—( hear , bear , and cbeers ) i He repeated , tnafc that notice would bring tbe Association under the notice of the law . ¦ Mr . Connor said he woald pay no charje out of land unfcU the Irish Parliament was restored *—| bea ») . Irishmen , continued he . ( tbe humbug has been going on long enough ; so I will ¦ must call you
Mr . John OCo ^ nej . ^ : I again to order , sir . This Association must follow the dictates of the . law . We have always avoided committing ourselves , and we will not now depart from the great moral ptiaeiple we have established , and in pursuing , which , we have shown such a bright example to the rest of the world—( cheers ) . If observations such as Mr . Connor has given expression to . were approved of by the Association , it would endangex the great and glorious cause of Repeal—( loud cheering ) . I ( continued Mr . J . O'Connell ) call on yon again , Mr Connor , to withdraw that notice ; if you . do not do so , I shall be obliged to ! move that the chair be vacated and the meeting dissolved . The Chairman—I recommend you , Mr . Connor , to adopt the very prudent and proper advice given you by the member for ! Kilkenny . I certainly will not receive any such notice —( hear ) . Mr . Connor , —I believe there is no one who enfaetaioa a higber respect foe Mr . John O'CoaneU than I

— ^ . , ^^ . do . I have given notice of the motion , and all I want is that th 8 gentlemen of Ibe press shall give the motiofl in tha newspipers , and thus it will pass through them to the people of Ireland—( confusion ) . TUe Chairman said Mr . Connor treated the association C ltb dis r «* P « st , it ho brought forward hi * motfon merely tot & * purpose of having it inserted in the newspapers , and . tw' t 0 ba * e it pcblicly dusuased by the association—( hear ; hear ) . It was a motion which ought not to have be *» introduced thereat all . A calm followed t > ia scene of txcitement , by the perusal of some money letters from tho country , but it was not of long duration , for
Mr . John O'Connell rose * fig&m , and said he regretted being obliged to re-enter spon a subjact , the introduction of wbich pained him eoBsiderably—( hear , hear ) . It was net treating the assoefetioB fairly to introduce such a matter there—( hear , tear ) . The effect of such a motion , if adopted , would bs to divert the public mind from tbe peaceable progrcesr they were making , and to bring them In direct collJtts ' tm with the law authorities of the land . Had that notiee come from any body else but him , it would not matter so much—( bear )—and at a moment , too , when they were informed , on tbe authority of the Cmrlow Sen ' lijtef , that opposition to rent had begun In the county Carlow , and that it had even reached portions of Tipperary . He
was sot surprised at this unconstitutional vioJenc *—this traitorisia to Repeal and tbe country , spreading ia Ctriaw . because that county was the blank in the Repenl map of Ireland—( cheers ) . He was of opinion that they Bhould strike off the Repeal toll the names of such persons as had taken part in , or who had not endeavoured to put an end to this violence in Carlow and Tipperary ; and that , in addition , they should adopt ft resolution , to the effect that they ha-J heard with the strongest disapprobation and deep regret the sentiments put forward that day by Mr . Connor ; and if he persisted iu thoae sentiments , he must be prepared for tbe consequences with which the Association , in due regard for the cause of Repeal and for the people , would have to visit him—( cheers ) .
Mr . Connor—By my resolution I will stand or fall . While breath is in my body I will uphold ifc —( confusien ) . I am not the roan to desert the people , if ten thousand cannon were placed before me—( great uproar ) . Mr . J . O'Connell again rose amid loud cheering , and said he never undertook a duty with moie leluotnnce in bis life—he never felt more inward distrust of bis own powers to impress his opinions on toe meet * ing—than he did on tbat occasion ; but , in his opinion , Mr . Connor ought not to be permitted any longer to remain a member of that Association —( great applause ) . He had avowed principles which that Association
could not allow for one moment—( hear , hear )—inasmuch as they were in direct opposition to the law . The forms of the Association required that notice of motion be given in case a member be struck off the list ; but be ( Mr . O'Conneli ) confessed that he felt inclined to ask the Association to suspend the standing order , in order to move Mr . Connor ' s expulsion at once—( cheers , and confusion ) . Mr . Connor ' s past services alone' prevented him from asking the Association to do so ; but unless he totally disclaimed those principles , he would move hia expulsion on the next day of meeting . Mr . O'Neill Daunt said he would second it .
Mr . Connor ( much excited , and with uplifted arm ) : I will go to death in support of my resolution . Pounds , shillings , and pence have been too long coming into ¦ ¦ ( Tbe rest of the sentence was lost in tbe uproar which prevailed . ) The starving people of Ireland axe to be fed —( disapprobation ) . Mr . Clements spoke strongly and emphatically against- Mr . Connor's conduct . Messrs . Csllaghan , O'Hea , Stritch , Murphy , and Hamilton , also condemned the motion as seditious . Mr . Connor—I acted on the principle of that motion myself—( groans ) . Next year , millions of men , women , and children will be starving—recollect that . Mr . Daunt—It is by legal means we seskto relieve them—not by illegal measures , such as yon propose —( cheers ) . Mr . John Q ' GotiKELL then moved the following resolutions : —
" First—That this Association has heard with horror and indication tbe doctrines propounded by Mr . Connor respecting the payment of rents , county cess , tithes , poor rate , or rent-charge , this day , ia the attempt he made to put upon the books a notice plainly and grossly illegal , and directly tending to create and encourage criminal outrage and violence throughout the country . " Sicondly—That if anything can add to , these feelings , it is the consideration of the time Mr . Connor has chosen fur making sueh remarks—a time when , in tbe county of Carlow , where Repeal has ns yet made little progress , a violent and criminal opposition to rents has according to the public prints , already begun to manifest itself . " Thirdly—That this Association indignantly rejects , and refuses to insert on its books , or to allow to be for a
moment entertained , Mr . Connor's notice ; and . that they declare that all who put forward such doctrines , and offer such advice to tbe people as Is contained in that notice , are either madmen or traitors to the glorious causa of Repeal , to the noble people who support that cause , and Old Ireland . " Mr . O'Hea seconded the motion , which was carried unanimously . Thus rests the matter for tbe present The meeting was soon after adjourned to Wednesday next , when Mr . O'Connell will attend . The RspealRent for the week was £ 1 , 462 17 a . 8 d .
