UROTHER CHARTISTS , —At no period since J 3 the commencement of our glorious agitation , have our united energies been more needed than at present ; the praiseworthy exertions of our Executive are neariy paralyzed for want © f pecuniary assistance , and the funds of the Convention seem to crawl on at a snail-like pace ; BeTeral patriotic sacrifices are making in various parta of the country by spirited members in business ; but still not sufficient for the desired object .

NATIONAL CONVENTION . ( Continued from our seventh page . ) Mr . M'Douall moved , and Mr . M'Pherson secondedu That the standing orders be suspended to allow of the motion respecting a better understanding between England and Scotland . " Carried . Jlr . Thomason—They were all well aware that unity of action was necessary to ensure the snccess of any extended operation . Hitherto England and Scotland had been placed in too isolated a positions with regard to each other to make that impression on the Government which was so important to be ensured . If a mutual interchange of feelings and of lectures had taken place between the two conntries , there would hare been no division regardi&g the Petition . It would hare enabled U to have been more numerously signed and a better feeling created . He should
move" That this Convention take steps to create a more close connection between the Chartists of England and Scotland , and thereby render it a more truly national movement . " Mr . O'Connor seconded the motion . Mr . Lowery observed that shortly after the new year , a Convention met in Glasgow , who divided the country into districts , with centres ; and appointed delegate meetings every three months , and a national delegate meeting once a-year . This plan had i > een completely earrie ; out in Dumbartonshire , and in a great measure carried out in Edinburgh , and Other districts . It would be seen that they could not act contrary to this plan of organization ; they wtre aware of the benefits to be derived from a stricter union . It wonld lead to a uniformity of action , and greatly promote the cause by causing a
mutual interchange of lecturers , &c . At present , he receiTed letters of Invitation from the furthest districts in Scotland , from John-o ' -Groat ' s House , to £ 0 and address them . This would be a waste of time on his part , and of money on their ' s , unless they could have some plan of agitating likewise the surrounding districts . This object the plan he ¦ wo uld lay before them would . ultimately embrace . They iLadseen the bad effects of a want of uniformity of action in the difference of opinion respecting the National Petition ; but he was glad to say that the difference of opinion then expressed had passed"was as though it had never been—he would suggest to Mr . Thompson that the following resolution vronld better carry out his views tiiaa the motion he had proposed : —
" That with a view to effect perfect unanimityjof action and continued co-operation beiween the ChjN tists of England and Scotland , it is the earnest and unanimous recommendation of this Convention that £ ix centre 3 of Scotland appointed at the last Convention of the ChartLis , held in Glasgow , take immediate steps to complete their organisation , appoint their local officers , and their national secretary ; thai the correspondence of the country may be carried on , and commanication maintained with England ; and that we recommend the centres to fix upon a place in Scotland , and appoint a delegate from each to meet the Executive of England on an eariy day aft ; r the business of this Convention is concluded , that the bond of union may be drawn clo ? e , and thai both countries may act unitedly . "
Secondly , — " We recommend that the English Executive Council of the National Charter Association do immediately after a majority of the Sc&t : ish districts have decided on a suitable central place of meeting , assemble and deliberate "with the Scottish delegates on the futuTft lina of aciicm to be pursued by both countries with the view of carrying out and embodying morG perfectly a more powerfnl public opinion in favour of tbs People ' s Charter . " Mr . M'Pherson seconded the resolution proposed bv Mr . lowery . The Association in Scotland was
dia- rently situated to that in England : they had an opmion that the whole people could better act by holding delegate meetings , than by means of an Executive ; but , notwithstanding thi .=, they were anxious to effect a closer union with England , and waive any ^ mall objeenqns for tha t purpose . JBo was deputed by bis constituents to give his support to such an object ; he needed eo further powers , but he believed this would not apply to the other Seorrish delegates . Mr . Thomason withdrew his motion .
Mr . Campbell said he was convinced that bis English , brethren earnestly desired a good understanding "With the men of Scotland . The exchange of lecturers would be very beneficial . Mr . Beesley supported the motkm . He had been deputed by his constituents to correspond with an ofieial person in Scotland to effect an interchange of lecturers . Mr . White supported the motion , which , on a suggestion of Mr . Moir , was deferred until the receipt of correspondence from Scotland . Dr . M'Douall moved the suspension of the standing » rder 3 to receive a deputation from the trades of London . Mr . O'Connor seconded the motion ;—carried unanimously .
A deputation , consisting of Messrs . Walton , MTrederick , and Scott , then , at some length , explained the object of their deputation to the Convection , showing them , by many examples , the power which lay dormant in the hands of the trades of die kingdom , and requesting the assistance of the members of the Convention in waiting upon the trades of London , that they might be able to have a glorious procession of the iradea on the day the ^ National Petition was presented , and that ultimately they might attain the Charter . Mr . O'Connor moved , and Mr . Lowery seconded a rote of thanks to the deputation who lad addres-sed them . Carried . Mr . White moved , and Mr . Powell seconded that a deputation of three persons be appointed to wait on the Trades' Council .
Dr . M'DoumI moved as an amendment , that the whole Convention do meet the trades' delegates on a day which shonld be mutually decided upon . Sir . Morgan Williams seconded the amendment , whu-h was carried by a large majority . Mr . Ridley moved that the Convention lay down some decided mode of action , for the restoration of Fro ^ t , Williams , and Jones to their native land . The working men of London were anxious that some decided mode of action , should be adopted for this purpose . Their names were identified with the cause , and if steps of some description were not taken , they would £ > e wanting in their duty to the wive 3 and families of these men .
Mr . O'Connor seconded the motion . He considered that when the history of the present events should be writien by the pen of an impartial historian , the foulest blot on the escntchion of the working classes wonld be the length of time they had allowed the men to remain in exile . He thought similar steps to those taken in the case of the Dorchester labourers wou'd be beneficial . Mr . White supported the motion , and if Mr . Eidj-y would include the names of Holberry , Pedcie , and Brooke , it would supersede the necessity of a notice of motion he had given on that Eubi--ct .
Mr . Williams , coming from the same part of the country as these men , two of their wives living in i the same town , could not allow this motion to 1 pas-- without recording his epinions . He was also especially requested by his constituents to solicit the j attention' of the Convention to thi 3 subjeet . He I hatl also been instructed to call on Mr . Capper , at the Home-office , to ascertain the reason why Mrs . j Jones bad not once received a letter from ler hus * i band , since his transportation ; the other parties had j only received one letter each during that period . Mr . Williams then detailed the manner in which these | | j I i ¦ j I i
men were now treated . Mr . Bairstow was opposed to joining the ca 36 of Holberry and other political prisoners with that of j Fro ^ t . He thought they would better su cceed if they ! had two separate motions . j Mr . Beesley supported this view of the question . ) He had seen an officer of a ship , who represented to i him tkat Frost tvas in . ill health , and thought he was j forgotten by the Chartists . j Mr . Powell believed no men in England felt more than the men of Cornwall on this subject . They had i urged him to press this subject on the attention of the Convention . ¦ : I
Mr . Stallwood stated that bis constituents -were interred not only about Frost and his companions , but Aso for Holberry and the other political victims . When at Beverley , he had attempted , but in Tain , to procure an interview with Peddie . Mr . Thomason should be most happy to assist in any t-fforts making for their behalf , Mr . Roberts , in a long and able address , dwelt on the iee&l point of the question , aad thought it would be imprudent to mix the two questions . ilr . Ridley withdrew his motion . Several ether 3 were also proposed and with draVa . - Mr . Bairstow moved , and Mr . Morgan Williams
seconded"That the Convention appoint a committee of five of their body to wait on Sir Frederick Pollock and the Home Secretary , to ascertain their views respecting the release of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and to take such other stepB on their , behalf as may l > e deemed fit . " Carried " , and Messrs . Philp , Williams , Bairstow , Hobcrts , and Moir , were elected . Mr . Philp moved , and Mr . Bairstow seconded" That the Convention issue an address on the Bubj-ct of the release of Frost , Williams , Jones , and other political prisoners , calling on the members is every town to form committees on their behalf , and that the members of the Convention pledge themselves on their return home to see this carried into effect , ani ti *\ letters of condolence be sent by the Convention to the widows ofthese men .

The Secretary then called the roll , and the Convention adjourned till Tuesday morning , at nine o ' clock . Tuesday , April 19 th . - Mr . Dnncan in the chair . Mr . Leach , vice-chairman . Absent : —Mr . Roberts . Minutes read and confirmed . Reports were received from deputation appointed to Bermondsey and Teetotallers' publio meetings . Mr . O'Connor gave in a report of a large and enthusiastic demonstration which he had attended the previous evening at Cheltenham . Dr . M'Douall moved" That Mr . Pitkethly be written to , and other steps taken , to obtain possession ofJQertain public property now in the hands of privata individuals , for the use of the Convention . " Seconded by Mr . O'Connor , and carried .
Mr . Mason moved , and Mr . Woodward . seconded , that an address be issued to the Trades , and that it be printed for distribution . Mr . White , in a long address , ably advocating the cause of the political prisoners , moved that a committee be appointed to wait on the Secretary for Home affairs , and take other stepB to procure the release of Holberry , Peddie , Brook , and other politicil prisoners . ¦ Mr . O'Connor , in an energetic address , seconded the resolution ; but suggested that the whole Convention should resolve themselves into a committee for that purpose . Messrs . Bairstow , Morgan Williams , Mason , and other delegate ? , in a bold and manly manner , expressed their opinions upon the subject . Mr . Woodward pointed out to their notice the effect which the Brighton memorial produced in procuring their removal from Nonhallerton gaol .
"Various other delegates expressed their opinion , and a committee , consisting of Messrs . Bairstow , White , and Moir were elected . Mr . M'Pherson moved that deputations be appointed to wait on M . P . ' f , to" enlist their support of Mr . Duncombe ' s motion , that a deputation be heard at the bar of the House of Commons , to show cause for the adoption of the People ' s Charter ; this resolution was seconded by Mr . Beesley , and caused considerable discussion , during which period , Mr . Morgan Williams moved , and Mr . Stallwood seconded , that they should wait in couples upon the-different M . P . 's . It was ultimately agreed that these resolutions shonld be withdrawn .
Mr . M'Douall moved , and Mr . Lowery seconded , that those Members of Parliament only should be waited upon who , from their known principles , were likely to be influenced by the deputation . This motion was ultimately agreed to . Mr . Powell moved "That a General Lecture Fund be organised to be placed under the controul of a committee appointed for that purpose . " The necessity of this was well evinced by the numerous districts which as yet had been yisited by no lecturer ; they should then be able to make such an entire change of lecturers between England , Ireland , and Scotland as would mutually benefit all . _ Mr . Harrison seconded the resolution .
' Mr . O'Connor highly approved oi the resolution , but suggested that the fnnd should be placed under the controul of the Executive , or it would be necessary to form another permanent body similar to the Executive for that purpose . Their lecturers had been-charged with having received Whig and Tory gold , but he would aver that never ia the annals of history was there a body of men that had acted so firmly , so nobly as they bad done , badly paid as they had been , and in many instance ? the localities owed them considerable sums . After considerable disenssion , this , and a similar motion proposed by Mr . White was withdrawn , and Thursday was appointed as a day for discussing this , and the position of the Executive generally .
ilr . Ridley moved that the Convention recommend to the country , that on the day of the presentation of the National Petition simultaneous meetings should be held in all parts of the kingdom , at which votes of confidence in the Convention should be passed , and resolutions calling upon her Majesty to desire her ^ Executive to cause the Charter to become the lav ? of the land , and pledging themselves to stand by the Thaner , name and all . . Mr . Powell seconded the motion . Mr . O'Connor agreed with the spirit , although he dis'iked the wording of the resolution . It called upon her Majesty to order the Executive . This was unconstitutional .
Mr . Beesley stated that in Lancashire , they were holding large meetings every Sanday , and intended to have a grand one on the day of the presentation of I the Petition . , Mr . Woodward was opposed to the resolution on the ground of expense . He could not see the good j whieh would result from the measure . It would ' have no influence on the fate of the Petition , as the news ef the meetings would arrive too late . i Mr . Philp moved and Mr . Lowery seconded an ' amendment similar in spirit , with the exception of > the vote of confidence in the Convention , being ex- ' punged . Several delegates expressed their opinions on the subject , and Mr . Philp having withdrawn his amendment , the motion was put and negatived by _ a large majority .
Mr . Ridley moved , that the Convention do now take into consideration the position of the Executive . He thongbt their pay was insufficient to allow of them properly performing their duty in agitating the country . At present only three of its members were actively engaged in our service . It was true the others were only partially paid , but he thought the country had a claim upon the services of the whole . Mr . Powell seconded the motion . " After several members had expressed their opinions , the motion was withdrawn , on consideration that it Would be discussed on the following Thursday . Several notices of motion for the ensuing day were then given ; some petition sheets were received ; the Secretary called the roll , and Convention adjourned until the following morning at nine o ' clock .
Wednesday , April 20 th . Present : —Messrs . O'Connor , Campbell , M'Pherson , Bawstow , Duncan , Beesley , Powell , Moir , Harrison , Woodward , Doyle , Williams , Lowery , Ridley , and Leach . Minutes having been read and confirmed , Mr . Bairstow reported that he had attended a trades delegate meeting the preceding evening . Upwards of 500 delegates were present ; and the Charter was carried unanimously . He was never in such an aristocratic body of men , as regarded dress and appearance , before ; but was enthusiastically received , and invited to attend again . Mr . ' O'Connor gave a glowing report of a meeting at Southampton , which he had attended the preceding evening . Credentials were received from Mr . Pitkethly , from the West Riding of Yorkshire , and from Mr . -Bartlett , for Hampshire .
\ ! ! Petition sheets were received from Brighton , with 10 , 700 signatures ; Lewes , 1 , 100 ditto ; and from Aberdeen , with 17 , 606 signatures " . The Secretary read the following letter from Mr . Morgan , secretary to the Sturge Committee : — " Sir , —I beg to acknowledge the receipt © f your letter directed to the care of Mr . Sturge and received by me to day . I cannot take upon myself to recommend the postponement of Mr . Crawford ' s motion , and I have no time for summoning the Council to do so ; and it seems to me undesirable ; that any delay should take place . The more this great question is discussed , the faster in must progTfcSS . " You will allow me to remark , that I have thus acknowledged your letter as an act of personal courtesy . 1 fear any communication between public bodies , which either of us may represent , might be attended with personal consequences" —( a laugh . )
Petitions were then received from numerous places , with a considerable amount of signatures . Mr . Beesley read several letters from North Lancashire , slating that they were holding large public meetings of from fire to seventeen thousand every day . The whole country was in a state of feverish excitement , destitution prevailed to such an extent , that it was the universal opinion that if something wi 3 not done to alleviate the distress , that they dust Organise themselves in masse ? j and take by force that which was denied to them for the exertions of their labour . Mr . Moir brought forward the motion of which he had previously given notice , " That this Convention respectfully recommend the people to stand firmly by the six points of the Charter , even the name . "
lie did not bring forward this subject from any light motive , but by the positive order of his constituents , after a long discussjon , tie result of which was nearly unanimous . The ingeuuity of man had been set to rack to discover some name which would answer their purpose ; in this they had hitherto signally failed . They had been compelled by necessity to adopt the six points , as being absolutely necessary to fuD , fair , and free representation . He shonld hare felt gratified if they had adopted the name also , but this they had left to some future Conference , to be held at some future period . He wa 3 not disposed to ' alter even the name of the Charter ; under this name they had fought long and endured much—they
had been calumniated , villified , and abused—they were now conscious that they had vanquished their opponents . They possessed a much greater share of public opinion—why , then , should they yield up a name that was to them bo dear ! He could scarce avoid suspecting that this alteration of the same was only a cover for greater alterations . If , as they said in Scotland , they had swallowed the whole cow , why need they boggle at its tail ? To this they must eventually come . Throughout the whole of the country , there was a strong fetling manifested upon this subject . His constituency were determined that no sophistry shonld allure them either from the name or tie principles . It was a very proper name . There had been other charters—that of John was

still mentioned with respect , And he saw no reason to change it . Mr . Harrison cordially seconded the motion , and Id doing so k © expressed the sentiments of the 4 , 000 men whose signatures he had brouch ^ from Nottingham attached to the National Petition , and who were determined to stand by the Charter , name and all . Their opponents were incessantly endeavouring to mislead them ; they had tried every stratagem for this purpose . Mr . Harrison then stated , ihat by accident he had gone into the Globe Coffee . House one evening last week ; Mr . Lovett then stated . that their object was to get rid of the name of the Charter , but without losing one of its points . He stated , secondly , that it was necessary to reject one portion
of the Chartist delegates at the Conference , and receive the others , because they were not members of bodies who had signed the declaration , while at the same time he declared , in responding to the thanks voted to him and to Mr . Parry for their conduct at the Conference , that an equal vote of thanks was due to Mr . NeesomaudtoMr-Westerton , although strictly speakiug , they were not members of their body ; here was consistency ! Mr . Lovett also said that at the Conference they would not have carried the eix points of the Charter without the middle class , but he did not recollect that he excluded the delegates of the working class ; he also stated at that meeting that the meeting of Fearguaite Chartists at Birmingham on the iaet occasion , although they had the aid of band and banners , did not amount to more than two or three thousand persons ; he also stated that the O'Connor Chartists were rapidly losing all those of respectability who
had supported them . On being asked when it was likely O'Connell would join them ? he replied that he thought he would not at present , he ( Mr . Lovett ) did not object to union with him so much an account of his treatment to the Chaitists , as he did to his treatment of the trades . Was this language to be considered proper as coming from Mr . Lovett ? Had not the Chartists suffered illtreatment , imprisonment , and even death from the hands of this party ? yet Mr . Lovett could have united with him , had it not been for his treatment of the trade 3 , alluding , of course , to the Dorchester labourers , and to the Combination Committees . He had stated likewise that Steel had rendered them great services , and that all Ireland was with them . Mr . Parry had stated at the same meeting that the Ciartist lecturers were a drunken , dissipated set of men , who made a trade of it , and received 5 s . a-day ,-which they spent in low pothousea . He recommended that all newsvtnders whi > would not
sell the National Gazette , their names should be published , and exposed . The success of the Star was not the result of its honesty , or its ability , or the consistency of its proprietor , but ia the manner in which its reports were inserted . It would insert the smallest as well as the largest meeting—from Ruffy Ridley ' s 200 or 300 at the Feathers to a meeting at Birmingham , swelled from 2 , 000 to 20 , 000 . Mr . Parry likewise asserted that if Air . O'Connor pursued his present baby-like lints of conduct , he would Boon Bjnk into insignificance . He ( Mr . Harrison ) had also attended there the preceding evening , when a deputation was appointed to wait on Mr . Thomas Duncombe respecting some- assertions made by Mr . Feargos O'Connor . A gentleman ia the
meeting having asked why they wanted to get rid of the name of the Charter , was put down by cries of "shame . " Mr . Parry also Btated that they were an ignorant body of men ; that their conduct was very bad ; that they got themselves greatly into debt , and that he had been in company with thirty of them , not one of whom was acquainted with the details , or yet with a single detail , of the Charter . He also stated that they were resorting to-such low means to get funds , that they were going to take a theatre , aud after that have a grand feed . Mr . Vincent said , he had decided on his conduct . There was not a party in existence could please that humbug , Mr . O'Cuinor . He then mocked in a
jeering uanner a statement made by Mr . O Connor . Mr . Neesom said he was anxious to get rid of the name because of the bad conduct of the ChartistF Another persou in their meeting stated he had attended the Convention , and they were debating the best means of getting under their wing again , and he ha . d no objection to Teceive them if they would publicly acknowledge their errors , and retract their abuse . This shewed the spirit which actuated these men ; they had tried all their effjrts to crash tlie National Charter Association iu its infancy ; and now that it had grown to manhood they wished to impose upon their credulity , to enable them to sink O'Connor , put down the Star , and swamp their proceedings .
The Chairman having intimated that to impute bad motives to individuals , or to any parly , was out of order . Mr . Harrison , in conclusion , hoped they would not allow themselves to be hoodwinked , but would stand by the Charter , and have no alteration iu its
name . v \ Mr . White could never consent to give up their name ; it would be like reporting themselves out of existence ; they had kept by the name m the worst of times , aud it was impossible to think of changing it , or abandoning any of the priuciples , now that they were on the highway to success . The only shadow of a reason ever advanced was , that their violent conduct had raised a prejudice against it ; when the Chartists had by a vigorous and determined agitation advanced their principles towards
success , then were they deserted by this party under the idle plea of their violence . The Stiirge party had not three hundred persons present when they adopted and elected their delegates to the Conference ; they dare not call a public meeting . They might , by the command of money , get a few papers to recommend their views . He was happy that Mr . Moir had brought on this motion ; he considered this Convention a fair representation of England , Scotland , and Wales , and the result would show that they were determined to keep the Charter
entire . Mr . Powell gave his entire support to the motion . He not only gave it as his individual opinion , but as the instruction of his constituents ; though they were not very numerous , they were determined to stand fast by the Charter ; they would not give up one of the points , nor yet would they give up the name . It was a good name—a name under which they had conquered ; it was endeared to them by many ties " What reason could any party advance that these ties should be severed ! If they were to allow of an alteration in even the name , he should not dare to shew his face in Cornwall or Devon again .
Mr . Mason disapproved of the turn which the debate had taken ; it would only tend to widen the breach . If men were honest , it was wrong to denounce them ; if they were dishonest , they would still remain so . He thought it beneath the dignity of the Convention to listen to the reports of conversation . No reasonable man could ever think of their altering their name ; it had never been required ; no man , no body of men had ever had the boldness to do this . Mr . Moit ' s motion appeared to be founded on the supposition that they had been so required A new party had sprung up in the country , and it was necessary to keep ourselves guarded and distinct . What had the conversations of Mr . Lovett or Mr . Vincent to
do with the Enbject 1 He would not be answerable in public for any sentiments he might deliver in private . If they did this , it would destroy all social privacy . Ia the Conference , Messrs . Lovett and Vincent had strenuously contended for the name of the Charter , and he for one would never abandon it ; if they did they would lose all political influence . Bat he could not eee the utility of discussing it . No party had interfered with our organization . One body of men had as good a right to form a Suffrage Association as we had a Chartist one . All we had to watch was that they did not retard or hinder our own progress . It was his opinion they would form an excellent auxiliary . He was confident Mr . Moir ' s motion would be
unanimously carried . Mr . Roberts rose for the purpose of opposing the last part of the resolution , the " name . " He agreed with the whole of Mr . Mason ' s speech save its conclusion : nothing seemed so strange to him as even the idea of abandoning the name ; it seemed like going about crying "I am honest , I am honest , " which perhaps was the readiest way to be suspected . It would appear as if they thought there was some idea of giving up the name by thus discussing it . We had never been asked to abandon the name ; he would almost as soon abandon the principle as the name . But it never would be abandoned ; all their names had hitherto failed , and they ever wojald . They had been forced to adopt the six points , and
the same necessity would compel them to adopt the name . With regard to what had been said about Lovett , Parry , and others , he Bhould pass it by without a word : he thought this Convention would be honouring them too much by any such notice ; they were a mere offshoot from our party , and we should not take more notice of them than the Whigs or Tories . He would not even condescend to think that any member of that assembly could for one moment abandon the name of the Charter ; he knew it would go through the country that he wa ? ready to do so ; instead of that , he did not even think it possible .
Numerous parties were springing up entertaining liberal opinions ; it would perhaps be well if it was possible to marshal them under the National Charter Association , but it was as impossible to control these as to control the different ' sections of thought . Let them go each in its separate sphere ; let there be no animosity exhibited , and he looked forward to the time when they would be all united under the banner of the Charter , but to accomplish this result , he called upon them as the origin il , the strongest , and in his belief , the best organised to set them an example of union and brotherly love ; he should move that the last words of the resolution be left out .
Feargus O'Connor—If Mr . Harrison had been in a wrong position , he rose to put the blame upon those who placed him there . It was by the advice of himself and Mr . Roberts , who now seemed to deprecate it , that he had brought forward that subject . ¦ ¦ Mr . Moir , as the servant of his constituents , had a riftht of duty to perfcrm in bringing forward the

question . It had been asserted that there was no necessity to bring forward the subject , becauBe they had not been requested to alter the name . Were they not aware that the ' question had been debated elsewhere- ^ that the public mind was greatly excited upon the 8 ubjeot— -that it was in a state of anxious suspense ! Was this longer id remain ? Were they to continue apathetic on the mine till it bad sprang beneath their feet ! He was in favour of all sectional attacks upon the common enemy ; bat exception might be taken to this party under three heads ; the two bodies nominally striving for the eame object , yet not united under one head , would un ^ doubtedly clash ; they Were the Btronger- ^ the best organised body ; their devotion to th 9 principles had )> een tested , and , therefbro , they were entitled to thO pre-eminence ; secondly , they were attacked
unaer the plea of legality ; butj in answer to t ^ at , he would come to the fact , that the lyiix eye of the law had not yet been able to pounce . upon them ; thirdly , they were accused of being id favour of physical force . He would proudly po ^ nt out to their notice , that during the late nriparaL'taled : destitute state of the country , during all the privations which in the last seven months they b > 4 undergone , not one single breach of the peace had occurred . Was not that a test of their principle ? 2 Did hot their : sincerity show their value to any party who might join them ? In the infancy of an agitation , physical force language was absolutely necessa . y to arouse the people from their apathy , but as the agitation advanced and their
opinions progressed , the necessity for it died away . This had been well illustrai ed by the Chartist movement . He was anxious to grasp the right hand of fellowship from any party , bui let them beware they were not deceived by the left hand of hypocrisy . L oofc at their National Petition , Was not the remonstrance of Mr . Lovett calculated , to injure that expression of the national will , and to stop its full tide of signatures ? Look at the stumbliDg-block Mr . Crawford and the party he was acting for had thrown in their way , by not acceding to the postponement of his motion in the House , and thereby frustrating , in a measure , our ardent hopes . Can we eee these things and yet remain silent- ' ? Are we to believe that they are melting with kindness for us , that we should remain honey-tongued and < £ umblipped till the mine has been f pruhg to scatter and divide us ? What would their constituents think ; of their conduct if they etood thustamely by : if they
allowed this to be done under ftheiir very nose ! If the cat lay crouching upon the ground , preparing to spring on the poor mouse immediately that it had by its quie 8 ence disarmed its vigilance ; tha hawk , with unruffled plumage , floats in the air , unheeded by its victim , until it has determined to destroy it ; the thunder-cloud breaks upon the poor traveller when , perhaps , the fatal sunbeam has lulled him into security . The Chartists of England , Scotland , and Wales were alive upon the merits of this question . They should not be sacrificed from a false feeling of security under the banner of the Charter , where they had fought and had bled . There could no t be a greater disgrace to a regiment than the loss of colours—would they allow themselves to be thus disgraced ? He admired the answer given him by Dr . Wade a short time back . The Doctor said that as soon should he think of those who had arrayed themselves under the standard of Christ
abandoning the name of Christians as for the ChartiBts to abandon their name . Even as a point of finance , what were they to do with their banners throughout the country ' —banners which bad cost them more than the royal christening ; Were their mottos to be erased and their property spoiled ? One of Mr . Sturgo ' 8 party , while discussing with Mr . West , avowed that their object in . getting rid of the Charter was to get rid of their present leaders . Their object was again to lead them into the slough of political delusion . If they gave _ up the name , was it reasonable they could again muster with > uch number and in such organisation under other banners ? They wish only to remove those pinnacles in the temple of corruption , which stand in
their own way ; and when these obstructions are removed , you will , as in the case of the Reform Bill , again be deserted . If they were honest , would they allow such a paltry thing as a name , as appears in their estimation , to stand in the way of bettering the condition of their fellow men 1 They -must , have hearts of stone , if they , for this objection , allowed you to struggle on in wretchedness . You have relied , during the past season , on the justice and the strength of your principle !? . You have good laws , strong organization—a braver body of men never existed—keep your banner unfurled , and inscribed on them the six points of the Charter , name and all ; and , while he lived , he would never fight under any other—Would never advocate less . He could not
remain quiescent and tranquil while they were frittering away their characters- —while theiy were attacking their leaders . Once destroy them , they would next destroy their principles . The same ball which mowed him down would cause others to fall . They say your leaders are a drunken dissipated set of men . He saw before him twenty three or twentyfour men ; and never did a more talentod , industrious , moral body of men exist ; yet these were the men they were attempting to stab in the dark . T . ue men of Southampton would that morning send a delegate to support the Charter , name and all . Ho thanked the representative of the brave men of Glasgow for giving them an opportunity of speakine nlainlv on this question , and he would stand by
it to his last drop of blood . Mr . Lowery rose to support the motion ; he should hot have done so , if ho had not been brought before them ; for in his private opinion , ho thought it . unnecessary ; he knew his Constituents were desirous of re ? aming the present name ; he saw no fault in it ; if there had been any stigma cast upon it , let them remove the stigma , and endea-vour to make it respected in their own persons . If other ntea were so weak-minded as to be frightened at the name , he would not quarrel with them ; they had not advanced to their present position all at once ; they must remember that the Sturge party were middle men , that they were hew beginners in the school of politics ; they were forced to adopt the measure from
necessity ; they found they must destroy the system of bad legislation , or it would destroy them . He did not consider the Charter to be perfect ; there was some of its' machinery about parish clerks , &c . which he trusted to live to see abolished ;; ho hoped they would abide by their name , go on with their organisation ; but let others do the same also . He did not wish to see the two parties amalgamated ; he did not think it would be beneficial ; the middle and working classes had different sentiments ; the one felt himself insulted by the plain conduct of the other . If a union was effected it would be one of outward appearance , and not of tbo heart ; as for the little squabbles which had taken place respecting Mr . Vincent , Mr . Philip , and others , ; he thought it
unwise to notice them ; he trusted they would endea < - vour to promote a cordial arid united feeling . Dr . Me . Douall should have contented : himself with a silent vote if he had not thought that to express their sentiments would have the effect of restoring firmness to the wavering , and promote unanimity in their ranks ; he was proud of the name of a Chartist ; it was a name he should carry to his grave ; but he would never quarrel with any man , or any party of men ; for acting according to their opinions ; if he demanded any man to concedes to his opinion , he was a tyrant ; if any man demanded it of him , he would resist it ; but While he approved of the name and of the principle , he wou'd never denounce any party for acting different . These
denunciations had done great harm to the cause . Robert Philp he had known for sometime , he had never differed with him in regard to the business of the Convention ; he respected Mr , ' O'Connor , andlikewise Mr . Sturge . As far as he knew , the only argument advanced was that the middle class were prejudiced against it < being a middle classman he was acquainted with their sentiments , and he knew that the class would never muster five hundred in one meeting , and that not twenty would , ever remain firmly together . The middle class man was fighting against his neighbour for profits , but the working ; classes were interested in being united : he thought that they would never get the cordial cooperation of the middle classes unless they allowed them two votes .
He looked much more to the trades than to the middle classes . Once get out the trades and the middle classes must follow . He was fearful if they gave up the name of the Charter the government , which had treated their petitions , their prayers and their remonstrances , with disrespect , would think they were fearful , if they were notfirmly united respecting their name , and would treat them accordingly . He thought nothing of the present movement of Mr . Sturge ^ The Conference at Birmingham was attended chiefly by known Chartists ; they were not backed by the public ; it was the substance and not thesnadow . As well might the Chartists of London attend a Conference at the Crown arid Anchor . He was firmly attached to the name and the principles ;
but he would always act according to his reason , » nd would go down to the grave with the satisfaction of having performed hia duty ,, ; Mr . Bairstow , said at the meetings at which he was elected , he was especially elected to stand by the Charter , even the name ; he therefore gave his unqualified approbation to the motion of Mr . Moir . This was a duty he owed to his constituents , and it was also his individual feeling ; he thought everything at this moment depended upon , the firmness and unanimity : of the ( invention . He Was rather astonished at hearing it meutioned that they were pertinacious in attaching themselves to a same ; he would almost as soon give up the principle as give
up the name ; it would destroy their organization , an organization cemented together by the persecution and danger they had undergone . They had been vilified and calumniated for their conduct With regard to the Tories , but until they had thus annihilated the Whigg they were scarcely respected as a political party by the government . He had been vilified by many for the part he had taken in the Nottingham and other elections , but he was ready an 4 willing to defend his ; conduct either before the country or the Convention . He thought that that aot of the Chartists was the most statesmanlike act they ever committed . Millions of eyes and ears were a t this momeat most minutely directed to the

Convention . If they abased that trust , they would carry discontent and sorrow into the hearts of thousands ; but he knew that they would be unanimous on this question . He deemed a junction bet ween the middle and the working-classes to be impolitic . He did not mean the class of shopkeepers . Their interest arid that of the working-classes was intimately connected ; but between the middle and working classes there was no unanimity of feeling It would be a union in name and not in heart , Mr . Mo'Pherson said he thought they would be unanimous upon this subject . If any one point , or the name even of the Charter , was altered , he should he ashamed to face his constituents . It had been said that man was a progressive animal ; but he did
not see that Mr . Sturge ' s movement was a progressive one . It appeared to him that it was a principle of retrogression . He had no objection to their making converts from the backward ranks ; but if they attempted to take any from the onward movement , they should have his most hearty opposition . They had been blamed in his district for opposing the middle classes , but the event had showed their views were correct . The middle classes were driven into our ranks by the progress of events ; but they were not hearty in the cause ; when the pressure of bad circumstances was removed they would then again desert them ; He would allow the greatest latitude of opinion to all individuals , so long as that opinion did not injure other parties , or did not retard the progress of their :
liberty . . •/ ' . ... - ; v ; . , . ; - " x : > ; Mr . Beesley gave Mr . Moir's motion his hearty and individual suppoiti In his district they Were holding meetings several times a-week , at which resolutions were passed , pledging themselves to the whole Charter and to the name also . It bad been stated that they must not attribute dishonest motives to any party , but he would state that the object of the present movement was , in his opinion , to get rid of the present leaders—to destroy our organization , and again lead us into political perdition . Had they not had their homes violated , their persons imprisoned , their prospects blighted , for their advocacy of the Chartist cause \ Had they not been treated worse than brute beasts f and if they now allowed their name to be taken from them they would become split into sections and have no central rallying point ; many of the most intelligent of the
middle class were joiniu ° | their ranks . They had been called drunken characters , &o . he was proud to inform them that he believed the majority of them were teetotallers J men who were prity rendered Chartists by their hands being put too often into their breeches pockets were not worth a penny a hundred doz ? n in comparison with those who acted from principle ; he would rather sacrifice his life than the principlea , or even the name of the Charter ; he would not wish to interfere with the private opinions of Mr . Sturge ' s party , put though he was Willing to accept their friendship , he would not acknowledge them as leaders , but compel them to work in the shafts . lie respected O'Connor , bat he would be guided by his reason ; he would , if his reason suggested , differ with the majority even at the pain of denunciation . He was glad to see such an independent body assembled , it had done honour to those who elected . them . ' ¦¦¦¦
Mr . Thomason—His own individual opinion , as well as the votes of his constituentsy was in favour of Mr . Moir ' s motion . He would say with the inspired writer , "let bis right arm perish ere he would desert his principles ; " but , though he was thus determined in his principles , be still thought that it was beneath the . attentton of the Convention jo discuss this subject . Any man , or any body pi ' , men had a right to advocate any principle , audit was wrong that they should be denounced for so doing ; much
injury had'been done to the .-Chartist cause by this conduct being pursued ; He denied that the middle class were not to be trusted , because they were driven by necessity to this measure . The working classes had been equally apathetic , until necessity had driven them to it ; he was of opinion that Vincent was of too noble a disposition to join in any movement calculated to mislead the people . It had been said that this movement would injure the people ' s cause ; he thought it was calculated greatly to forward it . . <
Morgan Vftlliams—His own opinion , and that of his constituents , was in favour of the Charter , name and all ; they were ofopinion that the slightest alteration would injure the cause . He would support , by all his efforts , Mr , Moir ' s motion . Mi-. Ridley said it was important that every delegate should deliver , not only his own opinion , but also that of his constituents . Many movements had lately taken place , arid they were justified in exainiriing whether the promoters of these Were actuated by pure motives . There viete many who
were once acting with us not in the opposite ) party ; they had been a ! the birth of the Charter—they had been at its baptism ; and now , when the once infant had grown into a mighty giant , they had deserted their own offspring , and sent it adrift in the world . Wore these men actuated by pure motives He was one of the working class ; he was sent there to represent the working classes , and he would abide by the working man ' s cause even unto death . Their cause was the Charter whole and entire . He should support the resolution .
Mr . Campbell did not agree with many statements Which had been made . It had been asserted that they hd fought , bled , arid been imprisoned for the Charter ; so had some of those whom they asserted were now opposed to them . Honest anduishoneBtmen were to be found in all ranks , whether Whig ; Tory , or Chartist . He did not care so much for the assistance of the middle classes , for he believed they could carry the Charter without them , as he cared for union in their own ranks . Their principles were rapidly extending . He believed that the population of the three kingdoms was essentially democratic . He should vote for the Charter , name and all , according to the wishes of his constituents . Mr . Woodward considered the name to be of mofci
importance ; if he did not suppoit the motion , he should not dare to face the men of Brighton ; they had endured privations of every description ; _ they had been persecuted perhaps more than the inhabitants of any other town ; they trusted that this Conventiott would give a tone to public opinion , and thereby promote feeling of firmness and unanimity . , , , Mr . Pitkethl y could not sit silent while such an important nlotion was discussed , without , at its conclusion , tendering hia reasons for the vote he should give ; he was glad to perceive that they should come to a unanimous conclusion . They had many times endeavoured to entrap the Working classes into their sham measures of reform ; there was the Reform Bill ; then the plan of Lord Durham ;
the Fox and Goose Club ; the New Move ; and now the Sturge move . Col . Thompson had told him that the parties acting with Mr ; Sturge were not , in his opinion , honest ; they were only seeking their own ends , that of a repeal of the Corn Laws ; if Sturge was honest , he would give double as much money to the Chartist cause as he had given to the anti-Corn Law patty ; If they were honest , they would not boggle at the name after having admitted the substance . He was glad to hear Mr . Beesley state that his district was prepared to take the Charter ; he wished all other districts were equally prepared .
The people were very apathetic , or they would , ere now , have risen and demanded their rights . Credentials having been received from Mr . Bartlett , for Hampshire , —be said he was sorry he was not present during the whole of thedebate . He had heard much of changing the name of the Charter ; but he had heard no reasons advanced why they should do so . The only thing in the shape of an objection was the odium of the middle classes ; but this was a , reason why they should persevere and remove that odium . If they acknowledged any other name , they confessed at once that they had acted hitherto in error .
Mr . Philp supported the motion—not because of its necessity , but that he cordially concurred in the Eentiment . The resolution , ^ in his opinionj seemed to imply that there was a dispositidn on the part of some one to abandon the name ; They seemed to lose sight of the circumstance that they had not been asked by any party to abandon the name of the Charter . He had it from Sturge himself , that he did not wish them to abandon the agitation of the principles , or even to abandon the name . He thdUKht , from the conduct exhibited by Mr Sturge during the whole of his life , that he was incapable of deception . They had not ought to attribute to him motives which he disavowed . Mr ; Lovett had been blamedI respecting the remohstranco . He would not bring out the remonstrance for
signature until after the National Petition had been presented , in order that they should not neutralise or clash with each other . It appeared to him a melancholy fact that the Charusts should ever Ibe so ready to denounce each other . Many delegates had that day expressed sentiments more favourable to Mr > Sturgo and liis party than those for which he had been deHounced , and called , upon lo resign his situation in the Executive ; Because certain men thought proper to form a Complete Suffrage Union , were they to be blamed I Sturge had stated to him that his object was to get the Charter , but thought ii imprudent to agitate for it at once , until he had prepared the ground . He had down on a bit of paper several hard hamea he bad been called in the Northern Star .
The Chairman stated that it was out of order . He had himself been called hard naines in that paper , but this was not the place for redress . Mr . Philp said be did not want redress , only explanation ; he should bow to the will of the Chairman . " - . . . ;¦ ¦ ¦ ' /¦ ' ' .. ;;' - : ' . ¦ ¦ ¦ .: ¦ ¦ - ¦ ' ¦ ¦ . ' ¦ . ;^; r :.. - \ -- \~ " .. . Mr . Stallwood could not see that they could derive any benefit from a changein the name . If they gained a few of the middle class , they would lose more of the working class . In point of talent , the ; would gain nothing by a union with the middle class , forjit Was admitted that the Jnajority of the talent was ( possessed by the working men ; Had not the middle class in France , under the pretence of surrounding the throne . with Republican Institutions , reduced her to . her present degraded political position !
