51 t Deas Fsiesbs . —I now proceed with my narrative . " I Dodee .- On Tnesday Mr . Duncombe and 11 arrived at Dancee , about four o ' clock . There was a ' Terr splendid Soiree in the largest chapel that could ¦ be procured ; and when Mr . Duncombe made his appearance he waslondly audrapturonsly applauded , llr . Kidd . the principal bmchtr in ihe town , was in j lie chair ; and after the asoal liberal sentiments ] bad been proposed , ihe last of them , " The Northern Star , " was spoken to by a working man , ( whose name 1 forget ) In most eloquent terms . In speaking of ibe New Plan of Organization , he said , " 1 ask ; j did any thing more perfect ever come from the pen of man 1 aid i * not Mr , Hobson , the present talented ediiOT of the Star , and compiler of that plan , worthy tie confidence of the workingelassee f— ( Cheers . )
Vt hen Mr . Duncombe made his appearance , be was londly cheered ; and after a very long and eloquent review of his Parliamentary conduct , and an avowal of the principles oi Chartism , name and all , he resumed his seat amidst several rounds of applause , and waving of hats . I followed ; and made an ignorant letter of Bailie Christie ' s , written by way of apology for his non-attendance , my text . This pompons fool declined accepting the invitation , becatu-e 1 was to be there ; but I promise yon that after the liclous 1 gave him , he will never write my
name again as lone as he lires . We bad a rasi Unmbei Of the middle classes , and many maniifactnrers present . J enroled in all , in Dundee , 270 members . When we returned to our hotel a young gentleman met me , and asked me to walk into the Commercial Room , where th ^ re was a party of Eeven or eignt gentlemen , all of whom had just returned irom the meeting . I did accompany him ; and there met several very gentlemanlike intelligent persons , some oi them manufacturers , and one especially , a German , "who I have since learned is the best and
kindest master in Dundee . 3 do not know his name . We discassed the principles of the Charter and a free trade / 1 till nearly three o ' clock in the morning ; all the young men standing up for the Charttr . The principles are beginning to find way here . We concluded the morning ' s entertainment , by a bet between the German gentleman and myself : he betting that upon a dissolution of Parliament , the Whigs would come into power again : J betting that , as Whigs , they would not . The wager is , a dinner lor the party then present . Mr . Kidd , the ehaircaan , gave me £ 1 lor the Executive , and a gentleman , who wonld not give his name , gave me 5 s . for the Executive .
On Wednescay mornir . g we proceeded on oar way to Aberdeen , Mr . Duncombe stopping a * Stonehaven , fifteen miles from Aberdeen ; wnile I went on . "When 1 arrived at th » coach tf&ee there was a large tosconrse of persons to receive me , but no notice of any meeting / or that night : the council sopposing that J should be too much fattened . However we put up a bill in Mr . Legge ' s window ; and at- eight o ' clock we had an excellent meeting In a large chapel , when I spoke at great length and with good effect . I euollec 128 members ; and would have added all to ihe ranks had they been apprised of my intention .
Tke following : day was to be the all-important one—the day of th £ Dracr us Diirossnunos : and when I looked ont of my window , to my horror I saw-that the elements were to be against hs . It was the only wet * iay they have hi d for a long time . It . raited incessantly ; and great was out misgiving . At twelve o ' clock I started , In company with the veteran Archy M'DonaJd . in aicarriage and six , to meet Mr . Dnncome : for whom M'Pherson "and another excellent fellow of our body had gone early to StonehaTfn . When Mr , Dnncombe arrived , one would have imsgiBed that the lain , so far from dettrring , had invited the Chartists to come OHt '; for it was the longest and grandest procession they have ever bad . A 31 the trades were In full regalia .
When if r . Dnncombe met the procession , he '• would have the carriage . opened ; and there he stood ' , like a dripping statue the whole way . He was ' highly and justly delighted with his reception . It was our intention to have proceeded to the Links ,: a ? usual , but the day w&s so wet , we stopped in the j Market-place ; when oht old and valued friend , ' il'Pherson . was called to the chair : and our not less j valued fripnd , Legge , proposed an address , which > he read to Mr . Duncombe , and to which Mr . Duneombereplied at great length , and to the entire ' satisfaction of bis hearers . I wa 3 then to speak ; . and as all previous speakers had regretted the wet-1 ness of the day , I rejoiced at It , and for this pimple lesson : bid it been fine , tie press wonld have *? rri- bnied thearttndane e tosigk tEeeing-curioeity ; whereas ' as It was wet . none but iron Chartists would comeJ ont . Before I communicate the mo 3 t cheering por- ] tion of the intelligence to you , let me tell you that it '
did not rain within Feven mites of Aberdeen , on any side that day , as I have since learned ; and it is a most remarkable circumstance , that during the three weeks 1 have been on my rambles , we have only bad three wet days : the one that Mr . Dancombe entered Manchester : again , when he entered Jlewcastle ; aid on Thursday wheBhe entered Aberdeen . This was < 3 oubtle ? s to try the mettle of the Chartists . It was too wet to enrol members , or I Ehonld have enlisted 3 , 000 at least ; but 1 did enrol one that in my humble opinion will give more general satisfaction , than if 1 had enrolled 10 , 000 others . On our return to the hotel , Mr . Duncombe said , ** Now I a member of the National Charter Association ? " I replied , " No ; if you have not taken out your card . " ** Weil , " s&id he " , " as I am virtually a member of that body , I should be so actually ; eo give me my card , and SB It np Aberdeen , Oct . 26 "; li . " I did so , and he paid me a tninea for it ; so
DUNCOMBE , M . P ., j 15 ALSO j DUNCO 2 HBE , M . P ., OP THE NATIONAL ' CHAETEK ASSOCIATION ^ ( by far the most honourable distinction , in my mind . In the evening we had a grand Soiree . They could , only j » etaHaU to hold foukites hotjrzd persons , which was inconveniently crowded . They applied to a set of Tory proprietors for the Market Hall ,:
capable of accommodating 12 , 000 , which they declare they could have fulef * . Bnt such a sight would have been too much for such jaundiced t-yes ; so they refused us . In Aberdeen , &o influential is Chartism . that M * Pberson beat bo : h parties , by nearly 100 Bijority , for the Comimssionrr * hip of Police j and he-Eow fills that important office . They do their basinet better than any other people ; and they -do it without softening 4 own tie principle to prejudicepoint . TLey canvass for every office under the principles , name , and alL
1 attended at tie Soiree an hour before the proper time , and enrolled a number of members ; but it was done by so many agencies , that I cannot exactly state ine number until 1 take stock of my wares ; bnt 1 should say 3 bcmt 300 , which , added to 1 . 0 U 0 cards that have been leit at Aberde * n , will make 2 , 438 for tiiat town . Mr . Dun cembe arrived at eight o ' clock , accempanied by M'Pherson , the chairman , and was most rapnmrasly applauded . He made an admirable speech . We had som ? excellent singing , and opened the business with " Scots , wha hae , " sung by the whole company . 1 spi&e at great ieugth ; and Lowery spoke . 31 r . Dancombe was called upon his legs a second time .
to receive an address from the female Chartists of Aberdeen , accompanied with a splendid tartan plaid , and a brooch with his arms and crest very beautifully ^ graved upen it . The address was emphitleally and Jeelingiy read by a very beautiful and Interesting young woman ; and , when Mr . Dnncombe presented himself In full costume , he wasTxpturonEly applauded . He returned thanks in a very excellent and talented speech , shortly after which we retired , accompanied by Mr . Legge , who j remained with me till nearly one o ' clock , and told ] me that the proee > ds arising out of my visit , two years ago , had kept ihe Association in funds np to the present time . '
On Friday , we were to have had a public meeting J to enrol members ; bnt , owing to a pledge that I i gave to the people of Arbroatb , that I -would wortto repay the monies advanced to send delegates to ! the Birmingham Conference , I was obliged to visit the latter town for that purpose . On Friday morn- j i ££ , we got up at fonr o'clock , Mt . Dnncombe to . sun for Glasgow , and I ior Montrose , where I had ' prenr = ed to acoTcss ihe people at two o ' clock , in the ; Ttistle Hall . We had a most excellent meeting ; and I j s&a only say that ibe people of Montrose expressed :

themselves more than de'ighted . They told me that I had Biade many converts , and dispelled much prejudice . I enrolled seventy-eight member *; and , bad it not been Monday , 1 would have enrolled two hundred . This town , like many other * , complains sadly of " trafficking pedlars . " They have gone far to ruin them ; and the Association did me the honour to say that I was the only man who had ever enriched the Association . They tell some curious stories at Montrose , about money-grubbing \ eaough to sicken the honest lecturers . I must say , however
that they spoke very highly of the Manchester Packer , and Gammage . They say the Packer cares lesB about the money than any man they « ver heard These things should be known . As I was to speak at Arbroath at eight o'clock , I intended proceeding by the Aberdeen mail ; but it was fall , and I was obliged to post it , and did not arrivo till half-past eight . Here the Chariieta have built a splendid place of their own ; and they filled it . I spoke at great length ; enrolled 200 ; got home at half-past eleven : dined , and went to bed .
On Saturday morning , I started for Dundee . And now for a day ' s work . I addressed the people in their chapel ; but the day bein £ a dread ! ul one , blowing and raining , it was not filled . However , I had a capital audience ; spoke . about as hour ; and was obliged te break oS , to start for Leitb . I never was out on a woree day . Within 300 yards of the Arbroath , station lay the Defiance of London , a wreck with * valuable general cargo ; the ship being ready to be dashed to pieces when the tide comes in . Id crossing from the connty of Fife , to Hewhaven ,
we had to go a considerable distance to the steamer in small boats ; and the screams of the women , &nd the rttniinft . tolhaad « , when a swell , liktt a * mountain , seared ns , threatening to swallow na all up , were most terrific . The landing and embarking at this important point is most awful and dangerous : and , as a gentleman observed in my hearing , it will remain so , until a Lord Lieutenant , two or three Baronets , five or six magistrates , or a di-xm of lawyers are drowned . Then , but not till then , will it be remedied .
I arrived in Edinburgh at half-past four , and went to Leith at seveu , when , in constqnence of ihe early hour , and the men being paid at eight o ' clock , and it also being Saturday night , and many having gone to Edinburgh , to the « seat keetlng . as they called it , my andience was not numerous ; but it was good , aiid very attentive . I spoke for nearly an hour and a half , and enrolled forty-two members . 1 then started for Edinburgh for the meeting in St . Cecilia Hull ; where we had a bumper . Subject , — "Ireland and her wrongs . " Every Irish leader in Edinburgh was present , and the galleries were full of the upper orders . 1 set to it at once ; and I certainly made a smasher . I could scarcely proceed , bo numerous
were the interruptions of cheering and waving of hats . The subject was entirely my own ; and I gave them two hours of unbroken declamation , that rung throngh the hall , and made the Hibernians dance again . When I tacked the Charter as a necessary appendage to Repeal , they bounced up and cheered , asd cheered again . Several Irishmen enrolled their names , and nearly all shook hands with me . I have made the Association here 600 strong . I was at work from seven in the morning till nearly twelve at night . I addressed the people of Dundee , Perth , and Edinburgh : and had a moBt tremendous pain in my right side . I took a warm bath at ten'clock ; and got up on Sunday morning as fresh as a lark , ready for a twelvemonth of it .
I must now give you a little of the chit ehst here . The tea party in honour of Mr . Duncombe was got up htre by ninej deserters from our ranks ; and , as one of them confessed to one of the Chartists , for the especial purpose of offering me an insult , by letting it be supposed that it was a Chartist Soiree , but that I was not invited . They have been hit so bard however , by the failure and expense , about nine pounds at the wrong side , thatthey are now quarelling among themselves , and trying to be taken back . One circumstance is worthy ef especial notice . The Sturgites , who got up the party , tried to enliBt the Irishmen ; and , amengst others , seal six cards to a Mr . Connor , & most respectable shopkeeper , who has been in business twenty years in this town . It
was communicated to him , that the whole affair was intended as an insult to me ; when he instantly enclosed his cards to the committee ; and the Irishmen who had bought cards sold them for sixpence each , at a loss of ninepence , rather than be parties to such a malicious and dastardly act . J hava this fact from Mr . Connor himself . Duncombe ' s speech , however , has completely destroyed " Completeism " in Scotland . No man will now confess himself as even belonging to the nameless staff of " poor Joseph . " He is now a " shepherd without a flock , " taking his wits to CrawfoTdsbarn , to have a confab with honest Sharman Crawford , to see hew they can make " something out of nothing . " They should remember the old adage : —
" Em nihil , nUiilfit . " " Out of nothing nothing can be made . " I cannot neglect staling one pleasing fact : iwo hundred honest Chartists ,. fifty miles south of Aberdeen , started in a boat to be present at the Duncombe demonstration ; and when they had goi within five miles of their destination , they were driven back , and immediately started on foot and walked the fifty miles . Who now soys that ceab run jb dead is £ COTLaj >»? In fact , myfrienda , most of those who have visited Scotland , have
estimated Chartist principles bj the amount they could chouse from the poor people ; and the Scotch being carefnl of their peDce , and fmall blame to them , the ** pedlars" give Chartism a bad name ; but I declare that there never was so much Chartism in Scotland ; but it will not pay for puffs . I will give you Mr . Duncombe'a own wordB about it . " By Jove , if those who say Chartism is dead would only come to Scotland , their eyes would be opened . What ! are all these Chartists f" 1 tell yon , and you will believe me , that Chartism is able to beat all other i > ms in Scotland .
As 1 long ago predicted , some of the church-Chartists have tried to strangle the question of civil rights . Secret letter writing ; undermining ; and applying for the passing of friendly resolutions are practices vtry much in use latterly . But the Scotch are a very far-seeing people , and always affectionate ; and stand by then old friends , till they see reason to change . I have learned many lessons oi wisdom since my arrival here . When I mentioned on Saturday , at Dundee , Leith , and Edinburgh , that Mr . Dnncombe was a member of our association , I thought the cheering would never stop . Your sincere friend , F . eae « us O'Connor .
Glasgow . —P . S — I have only time to say we had a most splencid scene in the City Hall . Moir , Paul , and Adams made most admirable speeches , and Mr . Dancombe out-did himself . He gave unbounded satisfaction ; and I never heard any man more enthusiastically applauded . The best thing that 1 can say of my&elf is , tha' I enrolled
1 , 585 ! OXE aHOVSAMJ FIVE HUNDRED AND ETGHTT-F 3 VK names , and 1 left at half past seven this morning for Dumfries , where I now write , at half-past nine , pjn . Dcktbje 3 . —Here we had a ^ reat disappointment . The people took the largest church in the town for this meeting , and signed articles with the committee ; but the priest , one of the rampant non-intrasionists , one M'K-ojle . took off the key , and went out of towD , after all the expence was incurred . At the last moment , when the people were all but mad , Bailie Beck , a coach maker , cleared his show room for us , and we had an admirable meeting , notwuhs'andiDJS the Nonintrusionist Liberal . 1 enlisted 160 Chartists , and I am now going to a pnblic snpper to enlist mor ^ . I am really knocked up ; and nothing but Tidd Pratt could induce me to persevtre .

GLORIOUS AND MAGNIFICENT DEMONSTRATION AT ABERDEEN " , IN HONOCTK OF " THE PEOPLE'S OWN , " T . S . DUNCOMBE , ESQ . M . P . From the moment it was knows that Mr . Duncombe was to visit this city , every Chartist set to work in order to make his reception in some degree commensurate with the great services he has , in and out of Parliament , rendered tt > the peopla . On the evening previous to the procession Mr . O'Connor arrived with the sonth mail ,
and was received by a great number of his friends in tbat manner in which every old and faithful friend will always be received in the Land of Cafcea . Though no notice nor any knowledge of M r . O Connor's intention to lecture was known , yet two hours after hu arrival he found himself addressing a large audience ot the citizens of the north . The meeting was enthusiastic and listened with delight upwards of two hours to their faithful champion and attached friend . At tbe close of the lecture a great number purchased cards of the NatioEal Association .
THE FHOCESSTON—GREAT MEETING , &C . At an early hour on Thursday , the day on whfcli Mr . Dnncombe was to enter tbe capital of tbe north , extraordinary excitement was observable on all sides . At abont twenty minutes post tea , tbe d ! ftfr * n \ trades took up their respective stations , according to th $ i « priority in the fDoorporatiun , or the order in which they had ballotted to walk . At eleven precisely , tbe procession , on the agreed-upon sound of the bugle , started ; and notwithstanding about this time tbe morning , though previously fair , suddenly changed to & severe rain , -which continued with unabated ¦ violence for three hours , yet , glorious to say , not one left the procession until they had fairly accomplished their duty , by conveying Mr . Duncombe niter tbe meeting , to his hotel .
Mr . Duncombe arrived at Stonehaven on Wednesday , tbe 25 th ult ., about fifteen miles south of Aberdeen , at which place a deputation from Aberdeen was to meet him on Thursday morning . Accordiugly , Mr . Jaines M'Pberson and Mr . Robert MacInvoBh , the Chairmen of the Charter Union , proceeded thither for tbat purpose , and arrived at tbe Bridge of Dee , two miles from town , about one o ' clock , m , as was appointed . Agreeable ; to previous arrangement , tbe procession was to meet Mr . Duncombe at the Prince Albert Hotel , within a mile and a half of town , where , on his arrival ,
be and bis friends were to occupy an open carriage , drawn by six bay horses , with postillions dressed in appropriate liveries and wearing bunting caps , with gold tassels . When the . parties met , Mr . Duncombe stept into the carriage , accompanied by Messrs . O'Connor , M'Pbersin and Macintosh . On the flrat appearance ot Mr . Duucombe in the carriage , a load and pealing thunder of cheers ran along tbe dense procession of congregated thousands vibrating and thrilling upon tbe ear in awful grandeur , while the eye feasted upon one of the most imposing spectacles ever presented in our city .
As soen as tbe Marshals bad completed their preliminary arrangements , under tbe superintendence of Mr . James Thomson , tbe dense mass fell into line on each aide , leaving an open space in tbe centre for Mr . Duncombe ' s carriage to pass , and in which he stood on tbe seat , receiving tbe warm congratulations of a warmhearted people . As be reached the top of tbe procession , tbe bugles sounded a halt , and the several trades , according to arrangement , marched past toe carriage , and proeeeded in tbe following order : —

Duncombe and those who were to take part , draw up west ; of the Cross , in tbe spacious Market Square ; and theugh several thousands had gone to the flrat Intended place of meeting , not knowing but the procession was to proceed also , yet the Great Squar * presented one living mass of men and women , such as bad seldom , if ever , graced it before .
Mr . M'Pherson , comb-manufacturer , and commissioner of police , was called to the chair , who opened the meeting by a gentlemanly and appropriate speech , eucu as always distinguishes this friend of freedom when called on to appear in that capacity . He introduced M r . Joha Legge , who spoke at considerable length in compliment of Mr . Duncombe and the cause he had so nobly espoused , aud promised tbat his fellow citiaens would never be wanting to aid Mr . D . in his noble work-: H « concluded by moving an excellent ad * dress to Mr . Duncombe , embodying the sentiments of tba inhabitants in reference to Mr . D . ' s great exertions in tbe cause of freedom . The address was seconded by Mr . M'Intosh in a neat and appropriate speech , and was unanimously agreed to .
Mr . Duncombe then addressed the meeting ; when he rose the cheering was unbounded . Huzzi after hnna , which literally made the booses shake , succeeded each other in repeated succession , for at least ten minutes . After which he delivered n brief but patriotic and statesman-like sp « ecb , and concluded amidst a v . illry of Northern btaBis . Mr . O'CONNOR then addressed the assembled thousands for a i considerable time , in his usual eloquent and convincing stile . He was rapturously cheered . After three cheers for Dancombe repeated three times , the procession accompanied Mr . D . to his hotel , and after giving him three cheers separated to their different homes , to prepare for tbe soiree .
Tbus ended one of those meetings so much calculated to leave an impression on the enemies of freedom that something is wrong ; for the working classes would not stand b « low tbe drizzling rain for four hours bad they not a cause ; and it also shews that the people are net indifferent to those who stand forward to defend tbe principles and sustain tbe rights of the working classes .
THE FESTITAL . Tbe Festival wasbolden in the Temperance Saloon , a place capable of containing 1 , 600 persons , at eight o ' clock , p . m . ; and though the doors were not to be opened till seven , there was a large crowd seeking admission before six ; ; ind long before the hour of meeting the hall was crammed in every part Mr . O'Connor entered tb « Saloon about seven o ' clock , when be was fondly applauded , and immediately commenced disposing of the National Association cards , which he did to a considerable extent . At precisely eigbt o'clock Mr . Dnncombe entered the meeting along with Mr . M'Pberson and some otber friends . Immediately on
Mr . Duncombe ' s entrance int * the hall tbe whole audience stood np and cheered most -lustily ; the splendid band , under the able superintendance of Mr . Hunter , playing "See the conquering hero comes . " On his ascending theplatform , the cheering was actually deafening . After : tbe cheering bad subsided Mr . M'Phersen took the chair , and opened tke meeting in an excellent address , characterised for its straightforward democratic sentiments , and highly complimentary to Mr . Duncombe . After which he introduced Mr . Henry to speak to tbe sentiment : " Tha People , the legitimate source of power , " which he did at considerable length and with good effect . He resumed his seat amidst general cheerinc .
The Chairman then introduced Mr . A . M'DONald to speak to " the Charter . " Mr . M Donald , in tbe course of his address , urged union and energy in the new National Association , and concluded an excellent speech , amidst the cheers of his hearers . The , Chairman then gave as a sentiment : " Mr . DuDComhe aa < t Raform of Parliament . " Mr . Duncombe , on rising , was again greeted with thunders of applause . Mr . D . made an excellent speech . Ho particularly dwelt on the necessity of union . He condemned the Complete Suffragists for not having joined the Chart'sts when they adopted their creedprofessed himself a tlrm supporter , of tbe Charter , name and all . Mr . D resumed bis seat , amidst the most tremendous applause wo ever heard .
Two of our Chartist females then presented a beautiful address to Mr . Daacombe , and an exquisitely wrought tartan plaid , to which was affixed a splendid silver brooch , with the following motto : —" Presented to T . S . Dune » mbe , Esq ., M . P ., by the female Chartists of Aberdeen as a token of their esteem for his ta ' ented exertions in the cause of freedom . October , 26 th , 1 S 43 . " In the centre of the brooch was a beautiful star , upon which was engraved the Scotch Thistle , the whole surmounted by Mr Duncombe's crest The brooch was made by Win . Robinson , a sterling Chartist . Mr . Duncombe again addressed the meeting , afier which he resumed his seat wrapped in his plaid , amidst the waving of hata and handkerchiefs , and cries of " Long live Duncombe . "
Mr . O'CoMNOR then rose , and was received witb enthusiastic and long continued cheering . He spoke at great length . He was cheered most tremendously throughout : and at the conclusion of his address Mr- Lowery was introduced to the meeting . He spoke of the people ' s fitness for the Buffraga and their right to obtain it . He delivered nn excellent spee « b amidst great applause . After which Messrs . Duncombe and O'Connor lett . accompanied by Mr . Legge , and the meeting soon after broke up , Thus ended a Demonstration which will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Aberdeen . It is useless to say ' of the Demonstration what every one knows who saw it , tbat it was most beautiful , numerous , and well-conducted ; and tbe Trades did infinite honour both to taeinselves and the cause , by tbeir gallant appearance .
The evening ' s entertainment was enhanced by the presence of Mr . and Mrs . Drammond , tbe great vocalists , who sang some beautiful national songs during tbe evening . Tbe splendid brass band gave great satisfaction , and added much to the glorious proceedings of tbe ever-memorable 26 th of October .

DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association . he . ld their usual ; weekly meeting on Sunday last , at their Rooms , No . 14 , North Anne-street ; Mr . Patrick Rafter , inj the chair ; Mr . H . Dyott , Secretary . Mr . Dyott having road the minutes of the last meeting , and the rales and objects of the Society , and alwo a letter from Mr . John Lowery , of Enett , com ty of Mayo . Mr . O'Higgina roso , and saidj he wished to postpone the motion of which he had given notice on the previous Sunday ; and in its stead give notice of a motion of . more immediate and pressing importance . The motion wbioh he should submit to the oonaijderittoh ' of the Society was one of a very oouciJiattwp ^ hjaure—( chsera ) . Most of his fellow-citizens Br . 9 ji ) Jm $ uainted with the fact , tha , t he , ( Mr . O'Higguxa $ 3 » d from his first step in politics to tha present hour laboured to effect
a good understanding between the . jreat bulk of the Ea ^ tiah people aud the Irish . Pitt and Castlereagh suoeeeded ia effecting au Oligarchical Union between , the Euglish an' ! Irish oppr * store of the people ; and he was sorry t . o repeat what they had eo often heard befai $ , that some « re » t : leaders of the Irish people , whom he should uot ndw name , followed in the wake of Pitt aud Castlereagb , by using all their powerful eloquence aud'great influence to make the people of Ireland believe that the English people were the enmnics of the Irish and their religion . This was just what Pitt and Castlereagh sough' - to effect ; they succeeded in forming a cordial union of English and Irish tyr&ntK , but they failed to establish religious and national hatred between the oppressed people of both countries . This was reserved for other parties . * He regretted to say that the labours of a certain individual had been
successful , to a great extent , amongst his countrymen , many of whom—in fact , the ^ reat bulk of whotDj dow believe that the Etjglmh working people bate them and their reli « iou ) to such a degree that they would willingly come over hero at the bidding of any Minister , Whig or Tory , and help him to out the throats of tbe Irish Catholic priests . Thus that feeling of hatred ani animosity which Pitt and Castlereagh failed to bring about , has been effected by the groat advocate oflcivil aud religious liberty—( hear , hear ) . The notfo-3 which he should read was intended to establish a better feeling ; in short a cordial union , between the English aud the Irish people . The motion he now gave notice of was to the following effect : -f" Conciliation : between
Daniel O'Connell and \ Feargus O'Connor , in a proposed amicable discussion in the Conciliation Hall ;—That in order to make the Conciliation Hall be in reality that whioh it professes to be , Mr . O'Connell is imperatively called upon no longer to retard the progress oi the Repeal of the Union , by interposing a barrier between , and refusing the aid and co-operation of , 3 , 500 , 000 inhabitants of Great Britain in favour of a Repeal of the Union , by reason of some private pique or personal quarrel , between himself aud Mr j Feargus O'Connor . That in order to overthrow tyranny in England and Irelaad , a cordial union should be effected between the working classes of both countries ; and in order to effect thin moat desirable ] objeot it is Mr . O'Connell ' s
bounden duty to invite Mr . O'Connor to a friendly and amicable discussion j of their views , in the Conciliation Hall ; and then , and there , for the interest , the peace , happiness , and prosperity of the Empire , sacrifice their . disputes and differences ti the altar of their common country . " B ? ( Mr . O'H . ) did not know Mr . O'Connor eo well or so loug as he iknew Mr . O'Connell ; yet he would stake hia life \ ipou it , that in order to effect so glorious an object as that contemplated in the motion of which he had given notice , Mr . OConnor would cheerfully forgive all injuries which he has suffered at tbe hands of Mr . O'Connell—( ohoers ) .
Mr . Thomas Ford said , as a Meathman , it would do his heart good to Bee these two great men make up their quarrel for the sake of the country . Mr . John Lynham said that he also was a Meathman , a labourer ; and though he had but little to spare , he would give a months' wages , if he were to live on one meal a day to see the unfortunate dispute between Mr . O'Connor and Mr . O'Connell made up . Mr . Bergin did not k now what was meant by Conciliation unless it was . to join cordially tor the interests of our couutryi Wh y does Mr . O'Connell call upon others to bury in oblivion all old disputes , while he himself never seta us the example \—thear ) Mr . William Woodward said that he had for some
time past contemplated a motion something like that which was read by Mr . O'Higgins . Conciliation Hall , was the proper place to effect conciliation . He never yet heard of any jinjury or injustice done by Mr . O'Connor to Mr . O ' . Conncll ; and even if he had injared him surely Mr . O'Coaneli , reads the Lord ' s prayer!—( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Dyott said that he fully concurred in the propriety of the motion ; but he should reserve his opinions until it came legitimately before the meeting . Mr . Henry Clark said that he highly approved of the motion . It was well-timed , and if carried into operation would produce an effect even on present affairs in which Mr . O'Connell was interested —( hear , hear ) . He concluded by moving that the notice of motion be published in the Daily and Weekly Freeman ' 3 Journal . Passed unanimously . Mr . tiergin was called to the chair , and the thanks of the meeting having been given to Mr . Rafter , they adjourned till next Sunday at one o ' clock . )

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS . Below is a statement of the names and coluar .: of the Councillors returned for the several Wards of the borough , and the numbers polled by ea ^ h , where contests have tak « n place . East Ward . —Tie "Liberals" put in nomination a poor thing named Barrett , who was for a £ 5 suffrage atuhe present ! and would p rogress up to f perhaps J Universal Suffrage . ' Mr . Martin Cawood was his opponent . Barrett polled 494 ; Cawood 484 . W © hear that Barrett ' s majority is made up of dead men personated ; living men personated ; and bad votes ; and there is a talk of the lawyers being appci ' ed tc , to set the matter right . * Kirksate Ward . —Here the Whig candidate wsa Mr . Yuwdall , the grocer ; and his Tory opponent Mr . Stead , tho baker . Yewdall polled 223 : Steed 218 .
Mill-Hill Ward . —The Whigs were Mc ~ tri . Watsou and Morehouse ; the Tories , Me ' , 3 rs . Williamson and R-yner . The numbers polled were : — Watson , 302 ; Moorhouso , 301 j Williamron , 296 ; Rayner , 295 . North Ward . —Here Mr . Brumfit , a WbJsi Radical Chartist , in the latter end of October aud begiuning of November , and a thorough Whig hack all the rest of the year , had the ** fight" to himself Next year the Chartists must look to this Ward . North East Ward . —Mr . Morton was the complete suffrage candidate ; Mr . Weddill the Tory " candidate . The numbers polled were : —Weddill . 539 ; Morton , 348 . North West Ward . —Mr . C . Heaps vna the Whig- Radical candidate ; and Mr . Close , surgeon , the Tory man . Mr . Heaps polled 374 ; Mjj Close 27 ' > .
South Ward—The Whigs had this Ward all to themselves ; after having acted most treacherously towards the Radicals . By Bomq means or other , the quarrel was made up ; and Broadhead , tha Whig , walked over . West Ward . —Here the Chartists had a man out , Mr . Jackson , the corn miller . His colleague wa Mr . Carbutt , a Whig . Tho Tories started Mr . p . L- Atkinson and Mr . D . Atkinson . The Chartistg beat . The numbers polled were : —Jackson , 480 f Carbutt , 488 ; P . L . Atkinson , 439 ; D . Atkinson , 441 . BbamlkY Ward —The Whigs started here were Mr . John Cliffe , and Mr . D . Hainswortb . The Tores , Mr . Wibon , and Mr . John Oddy . The polling stood : ~ Wilson , 669 ; Oddy , 664 ; Cliff © , 371 ; Hainsworth , 365 .
Hunslet Ward . —Both parties were late in the field , in this ward . A Mr . Walker was the Whig man ; and Mr . Wm . Haaton the Tory man . Walked polled 424 votes ; and Heaton 224 . Headingly Ward—^ Contrary to all expectation a contest took place here . A Mr . Anderton was brought out in the Whig interest , to oppose Mr . Prrnce , the Tory . The polling stood : —Prince , 268 ; Anderton , 201 . Holbeck Ward . —Here was the main fight . There was more interest excited , and more wagers pending * a * to the result in this Ward , than in all the others
pat together . The very violent means resorted to by both sections of sham Reformers , the Whigs and Goosey ' s tribe , had directed all attention to the contest . Mr . Hobson was the Chartist candidate , having been nominated by an " overwhelming majority " of a large public meeting of the burgesses and inhabitants . Mr . Ingham was the other candidate nominated with him . The Whigs brought out a Mr . Pape to oppose Mr . Hobson . From the first , Mr . Hobson took the lead , and maintained it to the last the numbers polled being—Hobson , 571 ; Ingham « 490 ; Pape . 39 'i . Hobson ' s Majority over Ingham 81 ; over Pape 175 !!
The defeat of tho Whigs and shams was " oomplete" ! A regular flooring ! It will be seen by an examination of the above accounts , that Mr . Hobson was not onlv far away at the head of the Poll in Holbeck , but that he polled more votes than any other candidate in the Borough ! and that , too , after every moans , diity and infamous , had be in resorted to , to damage his election . His Axn-Free-Tradeism wzmuch played off , and dwelt upan by the enemy . Vet he polled more votes than any other man , the whole Borough through ! And two-thirds of his vo > ci were plumpers too : so that he had equal to jusfc upon 1 , 000 votes ! Who will now say that ChartiRm is down ?
Thelyiug scribe of the " liberal" Journal here , who has furnished the Morning Chronicle with his a > oount , says that it is " by the treating and influenca of the Tories that Mr . Hobson has been returned . " How lame ! There never yet -was an election oa earth so pure as the Holbeck one . We believe that neither party resorted to treating : at all events Mr . Hobson ' s friends would not have given one single pint of ale to have gained the election . The voteis had to walk to the polling-booth ; in some instance ! two mile * . And as for the influence of the Tories , Mr . Rip ' ey , the greatest Tory in the Ward , voted for both Ingham and Pape , the two Whigs ! There wot treating m some parts of the Borough ; but not at Holb ' isk .
About sixty of Mr . Hobson ' s friendsi celebrated their glorious victory on the evening of the day of election , at the Woodman Inn , Swcst-slrcat , by a substantial supp jr . Mr . Hobson and Mr . Rjss were present , aud addressed the assembly . A committrs was appointed to lo ^ k after the Registry ; for the working men purpose to oai . y two men next year . We understand that the Chartists of Le -. as intend to celebrate their signal triumph in the Holbtsk and . West Wards by euhsr » Soirc 3 or a Public Dinner , in their new and large room- It is not a bad idea . The Chartists are h lumphant when th < 3 v enter upon it : a good omen of future success while ia it .
John Clapham , the Blue tailed "Reformer . " —A fereat yell is made by the Whigs and shams about Blue tailediitn , which they attribute to the Chartists . What will they say to the following ! Mr . Jackson was brought out 4 »» ih 6 West ward bj the Chartists , along wftbflt . $ CaA 5 it ^ N& Whig : the understanding being-. 1 lm ^ % ^ ould ^ reoer ? e _ the support of sections of * SuS ^ Totfer 8 ^ 3 : he ! 3 Pi » xtists , to a man tiB ) Mr-faw \ Wfa& 3 oBa Clapham , a Wbig-pH ^??»«>*>* % \*? , lent " Reformer " a - ^ Kp ^ : twr # «* £ Cora Law Rapsaler , &litftmfa * & ! n ! aLJfejwty the Whig , and Mr /* D ^^ Bigt ! n > ( 'TaifcfT « fr J h «* object being to keep , o # ^^ Ja « fi » W tWMarti ^ j Will the Mercery ^| 49 ] fe ^ apfa ^ . i ' . 6 % r- ' (( t /«<« .
