      eonclnsoa thai every revolt—everyrevolution—every murder and butafiiy tas been occasioned by the damnable policy *> f Loots Phili ? pb , -while the Trench , people , bs if diverted by hia stage trickery * pon the Peninsnla , allow their capital to , be hemmed in , and surronnded by fortresses , within which the tyrant may luxuriate in quiet , while the people contend in Tain against hi 3 sw » y . * O I " says hi 3 servile press , ** why evince such alarm at the dead walls 1 Why not restrain your enthusiasm until a demand 1 b made for Jnrajshine the walls

      with instrument of death 2 Not a farthing has yet been voted for snch a purpose ; not a cannon las jet been cast ; and 3 peradTentnre , the walls wBl not be fit for their reception until the year 18 ii , 1845 , or maybe till 1816 . " What J will not cur Trench neighbours take warning by our follies ? Oar poliee were first established as a civil power ; and then emergency justified the arming them with butchers' kBires . And so it will be with the fortifications of Paris , when they are completed , and ready to reeeive theisms . Then * whether it bo in

      2814 , 1815 , or IMS , the Preach Minister would reply to the opposition to mounting the guns : *» What 1 was any man in Trance so foolish or insane to thick that so much public money would be expended forBOthing ! Why 1 of what use would the bare walls be , if not mounted with cannon f And as onr ministers do , so will the French Minister , under the command and direction of the Citizen King ; mount the guns and man the walls ; and thus terminate the debate by announcing that the deed is done , and now must bo paid for .

      When our basoles were being built , there was eTery promise of comfort ; but when " they were finished , and the paupers were cooped up from the pnblic eye , then the law of the Devil Kings blasted all the hope of the inmates . Taking warning , then , Frenchmen , by what has passed in England J We esteem the present as the fitting time for the French mind to try its strength , in resisting the progress of this deadly attempt upon their liberties .

      W « rejoice at the progress that the cause of dem ocracy is mating all over the world . The Tery complaints which the Belgians made against their Dutch King , and which justified revolt and separation ; and the Tery complaints which the Greeks made against their German monarch , and which led to his fettering and curbing , are precisely the same that Mr . ( yCoXiELL makes against the English Oligarchy . Belginm was infested with Dutch placemen ; Greece was swarmed over with German lice j just as Ireland is sacked by English leeches . If , then , the Queen would preserve her Irish title , we would recommend her to prefer Repeal to

      Separation 5 for bo sure as grass grows and water runs , the refusal of the former will lead , and that speedily , to the accomplishment of the latter ; and If she desires to preserve what still remains of her Hoyal prerogative , we would recommend her to make freemen , instead of ilsves , of her English subject ? , by proclaiming the law of the Chabieb , instead of the rule of the cannon ; for she . may rest assured that neither she nor her ministers j her horse , foot , or dragoons ; her sappers , miners , gunners , or artillerymen j her bombs , her bubUs , or her mortars , can undermine the public mind ; can shoot a public sentiment , cut down public opinion , or stab one rising thought .

      "BKii > yoBi>—Thb Woolcoxbehs * Strike . —These over-worked and ill-paid Operatives are still struggling wlih some of the employers , who have refused to advance the wages according to the list price of Messrs . Wood and Walker . Every week a number of this body are forced to strike work , reason or argument having no effect on their liberal (!) employers . In some esses half the amount demanded 13 granted , and then 3 vote of thanks must be publicly tendered to the master : the advance in

      those cases being a farthing per pound for some sorts . In one or two cases the steam-lords advanced the full amount demanded on that sort of wool which the workman Tery seldom gets to comb ; but Dot a fraction - advance on th ? sorts in genera ] use . Many of the men declare they will not feel any benefit by the advance for six months yet , a 3 it will require that time to compensate them , owing to the snallnes 3 of the advance , for the loss of time in obtaining it .

      a Babs 5 xct . —The weavers of Haxworth and Co * still continue out . They are determined , let what will be the consequence , to oppose to the nfcmost any further TtduclKTU . The common work , wlueh they wish to reduce , i 3 already so low , that vast nnmbers have not been able to aTerage more than three or four shillings per week ! and numbers of weavers in Barnsley are actually in a starving condition . The drill trade is also extremely doll . Very few fancies have come out yet ; and there is little hope of a " brisk trade" this winter . On Monday night last , a weavers' meeting was convened in Pickering ' s large rcom , Amoron 3 Sunset in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Messrs , Grimshaw and Harper . They urged the necessity of oppesing redveiions which they clearly showed were nerer beneficial either to manuf&ciurer or workman . *

      Mt deab Fbienpj , —I regard thiB as the most important crisis thai our movement has yet seen . I am watching it with most intense anxiety . If I see it take such a turn as may secure our foothold , I shall be content ; I shall deem myself well paid for all my years-of toil ; because I shall then entertain no fears of an ultimate advancement . But this will require us to exercise great caution now . The ground under us is most tickle and slippery . A single false step now taken might be irrecoverable . A single step in a wrong direction now might surround us with difficulties , and overwhelm us with a pressure sufficient to destroy us . I hope this may not be . 1 hope we have learned enoDgh of wisdom from experience to enable us now to see our way , and to choose our path .

      I do not presume to threaten you , in c&se you should not act ou my advice . I have no right to do so . I am not vain enough to think that the withdrawal of the light of my countenance would afford any serious embarassment to your prooeedings ; nor , if I had such an opinion , would I seek to use it as a means of coercing j ^ our judgment or your movements . But I may advise . I may offer you my counsel . 1 may tell you what I think safest and truest to be done for onr common good . 1 have a right to do this , and you have a right to expect it from toe . And never was it more necessary for you to hear counsel from all in whom you have confidence than just now .

      1 learn from the Star of last week , that Mr . Tidd Pratt bad refused to enrol the Organization . 1 regard this as a most serious and ominous circumstance ; calling for the exercise of double caution and determination . It is an evidence to me that government has "taken its stand . " Tidd Pratt has had his " ^ orders" from "head quarters" and he act 6 under command . Had he been left fr&e to the exereise of his own judgment he could not , nor do 1 believe that he would have hesitated for an instant about the matter . The whole thing is nearly a verbatim copy of the Socialists plan of Organization ,

      which ho has before enrolled . As the Editor says , in last weeks Star , "lie has before certified an exactly similar plan , objects , organization , benefits , and an , to be * in accordance with law " The same principles of law and duty which impelled him to aet in the one case , should surely have impelled him in the other also ; and 1 neither can nor will believe that any man , acting on his own free judgment , would so stultify himself as this refusal to certify in the present case stultifies Mr . Tidd Pratt . 1 have no doubt therefore that he acts upon "authority ;" under command ; and under promise of protection . I do not seo the barrier to enrolment in Mr . Tidd

      Prait ; but in a power above his , and from which he holds his place . I regard Mr . Tidd Pratt as merely *• a tool" fin the hands of those who " work" with him . If I do him iDJnstiee , he must blame for it his own inconsistency Bight or wrong , that is my opinion ; and , holding that opinion , I think that , though , by perseverance and resolution , the enrolment may ptrhaps be forced , there will be much more trouble and expence about it than the Editor of the Star seems to anticipate . I have little doubt that every impediment which all the legal and other power of government can oppose to it , will be called into requiatiou . The enrolment will be prevented if it be possible to do it . Bnckle on your armour for the battle , therefore ; let the Government know that a people peaceable seeking the protection of the lawin their efforts to promote righteousness and general good ,

      are not to be insulted nor trifled with ; but that their reasonable and fair demands must be complied with . Let not an atom of your exertions ba withheld because of ibis [ rebuff ; rather let them be increased . But lei them be made warily . Give the enemy no handle . Do not , while seeking to bo legalized , offer any , the least , violation of even the oppressive and unjust laws from whose operation you claim to be exempted . You may still be considering the Plan of Organisation which your delegates have agreed to . This delay wiil only afford you the opportunity of first stamping it with your approval and adoption before it receives the additional stamp of his recognition and certificate . This is , to my mind a matter oFi&r higher moment , 2 think it far more important that the Plan should receive your approbation than Mr . Tidd Prait ' a : and I should like to hear from the

      Star of next week , that yon have , with one accord , and without one exception , met in your several localities , and determined to adopt it , whether Mr . Tidd Pratt please or not . And , in the event of the enrolment being ultimately and finally refused , 1 will then tell you something that perhaps Mt . Tidd Pratt and his masters have not thought of . There are at least several parts of the Plan which yon may now act upon in spite of either Mr . Tidd Pratt or any one else . You can at all events get all your branches fermed as

      district local Associations . You can place all theso distant local associations upon the exact footing of the general Plan as to Organization and government . There may be a Chartist Association at Birmingham , another at Redditch , another at Worcester , another at Leed * , and another at Hull and these different societies may all have exactly the same Organization , and government , and laws ; and : ye * theyjm&y have no oonnecnon or correspondent zl all with each other ; whole they can ail correspond with the Northern Star ,, and so communicate to each other all their proceedings .

      This , therefore , 1 advise you to do , at once , and instantly . Let the Chartists of eve * y town meet and enrol themselves as a local body . Have nothing to do with any Charters or with any Cards from the Executive until the Plan shall have been enrolled . If yon do you will be in danger ; you will arm U » enemy wun an argument againsi you ; and you win destroy ycur whole chance of ulum&ie success , inrol yourselves as local bodies j and adopt the Plan bo lar as n applies to lacal badltti -, ap . a that is just

      Untitled Article

      as far zs the Organization and government of Branches is concerned . Let every separate place elect its Coutarittee of Siven Members , including President , Treasurer , and Secretary : divide its members into classes , and "go to work" with the Plan as a distinct local body . All these will be then ready for amalgamation as soon as the enrolment battle has been fought through . There is an important thing to bo noted in tbe appointment of lecturers by the several districts . There can be no " District Boards" until after tbe enrolment ; unless you choose to make every member

      liable to transportation . The lecturers cannot therefore -be appointed by the district ? , just at though the Plan had been enrolled . Every delegate meeting to appoint a district ieoturer must consist of delegates specially chosen for that business , and no other ; and they mu $ t be chosen , not at meetings of tbe Chartist Association , but at publio meetings of the inhabitauts of the town , borough , city , or parish . If a single delegate be present who has not been thus appointed—every act of the meeting will be illegal , and every man who takes part in it , and every lecturer who acts under its appointment liable to punishment .

      I have told yon all this some scores of times already in the Star ; and I had hoped that it might not be necessary now to repeat it . It seems however that it is , and therefore I do repeat it . In the most emphatic terms I warn you that I believe the Government to be just now waiting eagerly and anxiously to pounce upon you . I believe -that they will seize upon any opportunity which may be offered to them ; and that , il you appoint lecturers for the districts in the terms of the Plan and just as though the rules bad been enrolled ; if you take out cards and Charters from the Executive , or correspond , as societies , with the Executive at all , until after the enrolment have been obtained , you wiH surely draw down another Government

      prosecution ; you will have a new baton of victims and •' victims' families" to provide for ; you will have more lawyers' bills ; more imprisonments ; and perhaps more transportations . You have surely had enough of all these before ! But jou will surely have more of them if you do not now beware . You never were in greater danger ; never needed more prudence th * an just now . Do not , for heaven ' s sake , now that you are just getting tho ship righted , again evoke the storm . Form yourselves at pnoe into district local bodies—ready for general action ; but take not another step until this Organization

      matter is decided . You are on the veiy edge of a precipice ; and if you do not look well to yourselves you will be again sacrificed . 1 have much more to say , and Khali resume the subject next week . 1 shall then shew you how , as distinct local bodies , yog may , with the help of the Star , fight all through , " and weather the new storm with ease . But commit yourselves by the appointment of District Boards , and by holding Cards and Charters from the Executive , under present circumstances , and beth they and you will live to repent that you did not act on the advice of Your faithful friend and servant , Wm . Hill . Hull , Oct . 3 rd . 1843 .

      XiREDS . —Teetotalism . —A oamp meeting of this body was holden on Sunday afternoon last , on Woodhouse Moor . Before proceeding to the Moor , the teetotallers assembled in their usual place of meeting , the Ticar ' s Croft , and after a few pithy Bpseches they formed in procession and marched to the moor , when they were hailed by thousands of anxious persons wishing to hoar the several speakers . The meeting was an excellent one . Total Abstinence is making rapid progress in this town , and , since tbe visit of Father Mathew , the members seem to work with double their usual vigour ,, beoauso they now find that their endeavours are crowned with the utmost success . Wo well know that upon the progress of this cause in a great measure depends the progress of the Charter ; and we hope , therefore , that the Chartists generally will give this cause their support .

      Lanchestek . Sept . 22 nd . —Teasdale , a pitman , summoned Hedley , tbe owner ot Craig Head Colliery , for three sums—2 s ., 18 * ., and 10 s . The first claim was for hewing eieht score " in the double " : for this the bond gave 3 d . extra each score . The 18 : ? . was for nine days , during which the complainant , from the pit not working , had been laid idle . The last sum , 10 s ., involved a question of considerable importance , and one upon which the masters are most obstinate . It is the practice in almost all the Collieries for the masters to keep back a week ' s wages . This enables them to oppress the pitmen in a variety of ways—keeping back money for fines , &o . But the worst effect was , that the men were thus kept in a state of mental subjection to their masters , which lessened those feelings of individual independence upon which alone they can rely for the destruction of their thraldom . Against this , therefore , Mr . Roberts resolved to make a determined stand .

      The masters were defended by Mr . Marshall , of Durham , who put viewer after viewer into the witness box , to prove that it was altogether impossible to make the requisite calculations for paying the men in Ies 3 time than a week after the work was done . They were subjected , however , to a severe cross-examination by Mr . Roberts and were compelled to eat most of their previous statements . One admitted , but he wriggled most horribly under the operation , that nine hours would be sufficient to calculate the wages : another brought down his seven days to thirteen hours ; a third , however , stood out for three days and

      persisted that nothing less would do . Mr . Roberts made an eloquent sperch in defence of his clientB , referring to the words in the bond and the general rules of law aa proof that the Blasters were bound to pay all that was earned up to the very hour of payment . After a reply from Mr . Marshall , who relied upon the "the custom-of the Coal Miners , " as well as the difficulty to which his witnesses had deposed , the Magistrates retired and after an absence of two hours , gave their decision in favour of the pitmen . This decision is regarded as one of immense importance , and has goue far to raise the magistrates in publio estimation .

      DUBLIN . —The Irish . Universal Suffrage Association held their nsual weekly meeting on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . John Koyan in the chair . Tho Chairman said that he felt very proud of tho honour of presiding over a meeting of his fellow citizens ; and he hoped that ere long that room , spacious as it was , would soon be too email to hold them . The number now enrolled on their books was 1 , 094 members —( hear , hear ) . They had a great deal to contend agaisst . They were calumniated and vilified ; their obj -cts and motives misrepresented to such a degree that many well-meaning men believed that they were enemjes to their country ; whilst others , who understood and appreciated their principles , were afraid to join them , lest they should be denounced ,

      and consequently injured in their business . He should give every one a fair hearing ; and , in the event ef any opposition to their proceedings , he hoped that all parties would confine themselves to the strict rules of debate—( hear , hear ) . The Secretary , Mr . Dyott , would read the rules and objects of the Association , for the information of those who were unacquainted with them . At all events , it was a wholesome praotioe to read them —( hear , )—a practice which he thought should always be adopted at their meetings . Too Association may well be proud of them They are founded upon the genuine principles of Radical Reform . Tney form a political creed which is short and easy learned . This society is like the temperance movement . Men who join it become better thinkers and better cit ) Z 2 nB . After some further

      excellent observations , the Chairman resumed his seat . Mr . Dyott read the last day's proceedings which were confirmed . He then read the objacts and the rules of the society . Mr . Djott said that before they proceeded with the business of the meeting he should like to read one of the best , if noj ; the very best letter , he had ever seen . It was written by Feargus O ' Connor , and was truly patriotic as well as unanswerable . Mr . Dyott read tho letter which was loudly cheered . Mr . O'Higgins spoke at considerable length , in confirmation of several facts in Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , and referred to the auto-biography of Mr . Archibald Hamilton Rowan in proof of Mr . O'Connor ' s former statement respecting the bigotry and decei tfulness of the bepraised | Lord Charlemont . Mr .

      In your more favoured country , however , tyranny wears not so bold a { front , and touches psiih more timorous band , the last traces of politvsal privilege remaining to th ? people . In our unfortunate land , divisions among its infatuated song , have left freedom more defenceless , and the spoiler has more ruthlessly attacked , and more recklessly retrenched the the power of 1 be people to agitate for a redress of their grievances . >; An art framedfifty ; years ago , still stains the Irish Statute book with an ordinance from which your

      country is happily exempt ; by it no focus or concentration of popular ! opinion can ever be formed in Ireland ; by it no body of men deputed ( by those amongst whom they live , and whose confidence they possess , can ateet together to confer oa , and dhect the movements ef the people : nay , so stringeni-is the letter of this- obnoxious law , that not even * u > assembly of depotrea from respective handicrafts canmeet together to settle affairs of trade without subjecting themselves to its penal operatioas—need we inform you , that the degrading statute to which we allde is called—tho Convention Act ?

      Men of Britain , we know that this infernal law was passed by Mr . what O'Connell facetious ' y calls a free and Independent / mhi Parliament . We know , too , that it was pagedjn the year when tho middle and merchant classes obtained what is called free trade . We further know that nr > attempt has ever been made by the braggadocio patriots of Ireland in the Imperial parliament to Obtain ita repeal , even when they were backed by tbe whole power and influence of their friends , the Whigs . It is reserved for us , humble as we are , to seek this modicum of justice for our country ; and for you to provo by your conduct that yoB are indeed tbe sound-hearted and generous lovers of universal freedom , without regard to caste , creed , or country , which it is the boast of the Chartista of Great ] Britain , and of them alone , as the true descendants of the pristine apostles of real Radical Reform on all occasions , to have consistently Bbown themselves to be .

      We beseech you then , brethren , to join us in petitioning generally aad ) unceasingly , for a repeal of this liberty Btabbing law , which for half a century has disgraced our restrictive code . Could it even be established that necessity had called it into existence , that necessity bad long since passed away ; and it fixes eternal infamy on that party who so boastingly proclaimed themselves desirous of equalizing the laws and constitutional privileges of the two countries , that in th « moment of its strength and power it did not obliterate this odious distinction ; and deeper infamy still attaches to our own loudtalking liberal representatives , that they never yet demanded the extinction of this badge of inferiority and degradation . i

      Let your petitions be written upon plain paper and sent from every small . locality . Such will be the least expensive and . the most effective mode of assailing power with the only legal weapon left within tho grasp of the people , j Believe ua , brethren , heartily yours in the keen sense of mutual wrong and the fixed resolve never to relax in our peacoble but energetic moral efforts to secure for every man his inherent natural and nalienable right—which can only be secured by making the Charter the law of the land . Patbick O'Higgins , President . W . H . Dyott , Secretary .

      Mr . Dyott begged leave to second the adoption of the address . Mr . O'Higgias , their worthy president , had spoken so fully on the importance of getting rid of the odious { Convention Act , that it was unnecessary to dwell for a moment on that subject . Mr . O'Higgins had adverted to tbe latest title chosen for Mr . O'Conncli's new association , with a camtal of £ 30 , 000 , which was ! to meet in Conciliation Hall , on Burgh Quay . It appeared that the " Liberator " not being able , even ! with all his acknowledged adroitness , subtlety , and ingenuity to drive a coach and six through tbe Convention Act , bad determined to call the prospective assembly—tho " Preservative Society . " While Mr . i O'HiRRins was speaking , he ( Mr . D ) . had been thinking whether " preserve "

      and " conserve" were not synonymous and convertible terms ; and he had arrived at ' the conclusion that it was impossible for the { most hair-splitting discrimination to find any difference ever so small or " fine , " as Sheridan Knowles vronJd say , between the two words—they differed Blightly in sound but were identical in sense —( hear ) . Mr . O'Connell therefore , ho ( Mr . D . ) supposed in order to conciliate the Orangemen . —was about to establish a * ' Cbnservative Association" in Ireland —( hear , and laughter ) . So much for the forthcoming Parliament—it was to be a Conservative Association , and nothing more . Now , with regard to the continued abuse heaped on Mr . Feargus O'Connor : he ( Mr . D . ) had | ao acquaintance , personal or otherwise , with that

      gentleman , nor had be any object to gain by endeavouring to believe him the pink of pol'tical perfection . He happened , however , to agree with Mr . O'Connor in the principles which constituted the Charter ; and he could not but admire the ability , perseverance , and consistency , which characterised that gentleman's course—( hear ) . He ( Mr . D ) could not , however , altogether resist the impression made by the repeated inuendoes and denunciations of Mr . O'Connell and his myrmidons ; and ho had many misgivings that there must be some real cause for all the invective and vituperation poured upon the devoted head of tho Chartist leader . He had , therefore , inquired , examined , and watched ; and what was the result t Why , that ho had never

      been able to learn , nor could he ever observe any crime , fault , or even ! imprudence , justly chargeable on Mr . O'Connor : while ho had seen a great people—the English industrious classesdenuded of those withering prejudices whioh held them apart from their Irish brethren , and absolutely made " more Irish than the Irish themselves , " by the exertions of that calumniated individual in question—( loud cheers ) . Honour , then , to Mr . O'Connor , from all Irishmen who possessed one spark of feeling and gratitude ! and doubly base was he who heard him maligned , and protested not againstit—( eherrs ) . Ypt Mr . O'Connell abused him ; and Mr . O'Connell is " | an honourable man . " Now , there was an individual called Richard Lalor Shiel ,

      once a bold advocate for Ireland and Repeal , and the spirited coadjutor of Mr . Daniel O'Connell in all political measures , offensive and defensive . Bat " a change had come over the spirit of his dream" ; in fact , he was a renegade —( hear ) . Of course , Mr . O ' Connell , the master of invective , wag very severe on Aim , who had really | committed treason , when he was so unsparing in attacking Feargus O'Connor , whom no one could substantiate a specific offence against—( hear ) . No ; Mr . O'Connell said not a word against Lalor Shiel . He was still hit ? personal friend , but Mr . O'Connor had an Buluoky falling out with Mr . O'Connell , and hence this hostility—( tiear . heat ) . But was Shiel content with ( deserting the cause of the people ! No ; he had in-the late discussion on the

      Arms' Bill suggested , that instead of being tried by their peers , the peasantry charged with agrarian offences , should be tried by a jury selected from the landlord class—the " grand pauel" as they called it ; that is by the very parties who were at variance with them , and wished to crush them—( hear , hear ) . And when the T > ry class complained that it was as difficult to procure evidence , as it was to get a jury to convict ; he recommended that large bonuses should be effdred to witnesses , and the prompt pro tection ^ of the crown afforded them ; that in fact the spy and hired informer { system should be adopted ,

      which produced a Dt-lahuut , and that blood-money should be freely sported amongst all who were heathens enough to swear away the lives ef their countrymen and perjureitbemselres for gold—( hear , and cheers ) . Upon this ; man ' s conduct one word of censure was never uttered ; the apostate friend of O'Connell was passed over in partial silence , while the consistent and fearless advocate of liberty with whom he had a personal quarrel , was denounced , and nations kept asunder to gratify a selfish spleen — - ( hear ) . If this be pat ' iotism , from patriotism good Lord delirer us ! !( Mr . D . resumed his seat amid loud cheers . ) 1

      Since we went to Press we have received tho following communication from the Execative pro . tern . By it , it will be seen that Tidd Pratt has refused to do for us , what he has twice before done for others . He has twice before certified that the self-same objects set forth in our rules are in accordance with lava . There we have him ! He is now compellable to do for us what he has done before ; and a Mandamus from the Court of Queen ' s Bench will soon teach him this . Let no one relax for a moment . The Enrolment is sure to be had ! Tidd Pratt may think to shove us off : but he will find himself mistaken .

      He will have a tougher job than he has calculated on . He has already broken the law . He is bound by the Act which appoints him to point out what part or parts of the rules laid before him are repugnant to the Btatutea . This he has not dons . This he will have to do ; and he will there have a job : for he has before certified an exactly similar plan , Objects , Organization , Benefits , and all , to be "in accordance with law " I ! We cordially approve of the determination ofths

      Executive to go on . Let the people 50 on , too . Get lists of names ready ; and the other machinery for working out the Plan , as soon as it is enroled ; WHICH IT IS SUES TO BE .

      TO THE CHARTISTS . Friends—We feel ourselves called upon as yoor elected officers to lay before you the result of our several communications with Mr . Tidd Pratt , the certifying barrister . We called upon him by appointment on Tuesday last , and received back the copies of our rules , objects , and regulations , with the following notice written upon the margin : — " Certificate refused;—I am of pinion that tbe objects of this society , as stated in the rules , are not within the provisions of the 10 George i e . 56 , as amended by 4 and 5 , William 4 , c . 40 . ' 25 tb Sept . 1843 . John Tidd Phatt . "

      In consequence of the above notice , Mr . O'Connor called on Wednesday , in compliance with the instructions given by the delegates aS Conference , when he learned from Mr . Tidd Pratt ' s clerk , that he ( Mr . Pratt ) was prevented by indisposition from attending to the duties of his office . Mr . O'Connor again called by appointment at twelvo o ' clock today ( Thursday ) , when be learned from the Clork that Mr . Pratt had refused , and persisted in refusing , to certify the rules of the Association . Whereupon Mr . O'Connor wrote to him , complaining of tbe manner in which ( be applicants had been treated , different to all others who applied for similar purposes , and requiring more definite and

      explicit reasons for refusal than those set forth in . the margin , and requiring of him to point out any objection to any particular clause . To that letter we have not as yet received an answer ; nor do we hope to have one in time for post to-day . Under those circumstances -the duty devolves upon us , after having put you in poapossession of the above facts to state briefly the coarse which we have resolved upon pursuing . We are anxious to bring our objects and rules within the strict limits of tho law ; while at the same time we are determined that the trickery of offio als shall neither deter us from doing our duty or give them that triumph which they anticipate from a

      violation of their own . We have tbe admission of a majority of the Judges that the Charter js a perfectly ¦ legal document , and that tbe people hare a legal right to contend for its enactment . Where , then , would be the use of its legality or the worth of judicial opinion , if there was no way under the latr whereby it could be legally contended for I We shall be prepared with cards and Charters next week ; and on the following Monday we shall enter upon out office as an Executive Committee , with the determination of appealing , as we are authorized by law to d < v to the Middlesex Quarter Sessions against the decisionof Mr . Pratt ; and should we be equally unsuccessful there , we shall prosecute oar appeal to the utmost limits that the law will allow .

      Meantime , the Organisation under tbe plan may go on , with no other alteration than merely avoiding the establishment of Branch Associations . W& musts remain a 3 one general bod ? ; and ali our meetings , correspondence , and local arrangements must be headed and transacted as under the old system £ all , for the present , being members , not of Branch or District Associations , but of the National Charter Association ; and when our resolution , not to b& intimidated , shall have compelled legal functionaries to perform their duty , jour sev « nl Localities will by that time be prepared with the &eceseary machinery for constituting their Branch . Assoeiatiofls and District committees . Lecturers . may be appointed by the several districts just as though the rules had beea enrolled ; and tho missionaries may be appointed by tne Executive , aa prescribed by tbe rules .

      We are now about to submit the Plan to > Counsel , with a case to auviae upon ; the resuU of which we ehaii be able to lay bef ' oiQ you next week . In tbe mean time we shall prosed with , oar l&fcouxs , feeling assured that this pitiful attempt to crush the people , under cover of the law , will have tho effeot of rousing them to increased exertion , which will be manifested in applications for Charters and Cards , all of which will be ready in the course of next week , together with books arrauged in a uniform mai . utr for beeping the accounts of the Association , and which may be bad upon application to Mr . Wheeler , No . 2434 , Templebar .

      For the present , localities may apply for Charters * as prescribed by tbe rules , while in tbe terms unde * which those rules will be transmitted by the Executing there will be a slight variation discernible , as tfew will be granted not to branches , but for the aarol * ment ot members of the general body .
