TO THE EDITOR OB THE NORTHERN STAR , Sir , —I have seen with no small surprise , in your paper of la&t Saturday , a statement purporting to have emanated from Mr . Leach , at a . meeting of South Lancashira delegates , to the following effect : "The Hull Chartists were about to pass the Balance Sheet in the month of July last , when Mr . Hill entered the room and put a stop to it . " Mr . Leach has been misinformed . The Balance Sheet of last quarter never was submitted to any general meeting of tbe Chiir ^ ' sta of Hull ; if ,, therefore , the above statement has reference , as it appears to have ,
to the general body of our members , it is substantially incorrect ; and I feel it to be my duty to call the attention of the gentleman who made the statement to that fact If , on the other hand , it has reference to the Councillors alone , I am given to understand that it is equally untrue . Mr . Robert Jackson informs me that he was the person ( and not Mr . Hill ) who brought that matter before the Council , and so far from it being " about to be passed , " an animated discussion -was at that moment going on , and the Council cime at last to an unanimous vote to write Mr . Campbell for further information .
I conceive that I am acting correctly in laying the facts of the case thus briefly before the public , lenviBg it to the general meeting pf e ' li ' r members , wihicb is called for next Momlny , to acknowledge , as beat suits them , the compliment , which Mr . Leach has paid them as-a body ; contenting myself with observing that , in 80 * far as I am concerned , neither Mr . Hill , Mr . Leach , nor any other person , shall dragoon me into the entertainment or expression : of views not in accordance with a strict sense of justice ; and . from what I know of the men of Hull , in reference to them I come to the same conclusion . . I am , Sir , . ' ¦ - ¦ ' . ' ¦ . Y&urs . truly , * ¦ - * W . J . Hollioat . Hall , Dec . 5 tb . 1542 .

MR . HILL TO THE NORTH LANCASHIRE DELEGATES . Geentlemen , —I insert your letter to myself and others most willingly . If ilie exec-Hunt aud patriotic spirit manifested by-. ysur letter pervade' ! all parties , there would ba an end of that vile system of crimina ? tion and recrimination , ¦ slander and retort , plot and counter plot , which you so justly deplore as the disgrace of our movement , anci as hurtful to its interests . I fully reciprocate your sentiment , that " Union , necessary at all times , is more especially so at the presens important crisis , when Government persecution is endeavouring to crash our movement . " Bu > whilo I admit with you the necessity of union , I
must also uphold that which is even still more dear and valuable— principle , and ttu (/ i , and honesty . These are the first matters to be looked for , and , in their absence , all others . . aro valueless , or mischievous ; and , while I bow with all deference to your mild censure , I must still think that in tho matter of these '' very unpleasant differences" I should have shewn a great lack of all these , had I not taken precisely tho course I have taken , and even if ill consequences should result -therefrom , which I cannot anticipate , the censare belongs not at all to me , who have done no more ¦ than was required by duty .
Ine second paragraph of your letter , seems to have been , written under , and is , at all events caloulalied to engender , a great misconception . It talks a bout our " aKrcting to differ upon minor mattevs . " Now if the question vvero one ot ' opinion , or minor . matters , I would thiuk myself deserving of a much deeper censure than the one contained in your letter if I could at such a time -have introduced it . But this is not the fact . The question is not 6 l opinion , but of principle ; not of a ' minor--matter ., but of one absolutely vital to our cause . It is no less a question than whether we , as a body , bo holiest in the avowal of our principles , or whether we propound them factipusly in opposition to the ruling power , while we ourselves pay no regard " to them . The matte ' r ' ¦ ¦ of -.- " co ' afideaoe " - ' or "no confidence" in the particular men whose
conduct has given rise to the discussion forms in reality no pare of the questiou . It is simply a question of whether the avowed principles of our association , are- to be recognz ^ d by u .- > as an association or not . The Star is the oiil v Diediutn throu ^ . i which the members can communicate with each other , and hence its columns are of ilecesri : y the channel through which the investigation J 3 ' conducted . " . Tbi . s . will appsar the more especially necessary whenypiiremember , asii ) justice to all sides joui ? h ' rfuld , tha , t "kind admonition" in the most lull meaning of those words has been had recourse to , a-s far back as July last , upon the very same subject , but without producing any other effect than a more open and undisguised defiance of our pnaciplcs and rules ; which the parties ventured to asiure us they expected to find " hailed by the whole country » vuh delight" !
I cannot a £ ree -frith you in thinking that the terms in Which my opinion has been expressed cau be at all ; fairly designated "harsh rebuke . " The fact that "bind a-drubiiirioa" administered in tho kindest o ! all forms , by private , remonstrance produced only . aii aggravation of the evil is proof ; enough that it was hi « h time for the people to spo-ik out ; I cailed their attention to the facts that they might do so , &nd I < Jid no more . If I have been compelled to the use of terms unpleaaing to tho Executive , you should remember that it was not "in sending the subject before thepiillic , " but in reply to the alui-e ot ihe Executive for the ^ performance of my " very-uopl § . asaiit" duty . No mistake could be greaser than ' that which ypu make when you gay thai : — " The language of Mr . Hill . in sending the suVj-Ict before the public ? , is calculated to injure ttiefutiings of the . Executive , and thereby cause rancour and ill-feeling to exist in our ranks . " ¦
I cannot permit this statement in your well intentioned letter to pass without coiiviiiciug you' of its being undeserved , by bringiugiagaia before you the exact " langHage"in which I did " send the subject before the country . " I first called attention to the matter in the Northern Star of Saturday , the 12 th of November : and 1 aid it in these words : —
" THE QlUilTEELY BALAHCE-SHEET 0 * THS . -: ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' .. - ¦ ' ¦ •• ¦¦ ¦¦ executite . . ¦* . ' : " ;¦ : "This important document wiilbe found elsewhere inserted . We call to it the especial --attention " of- all members of the General Council , and , indeed , of all members of the National Charter Aswciation . We hope that every man will read it carefully , and that every man will refer carefully to the Plan of Organization , and read them together . Wise , active , and honest public servants always thank the people for the exercise of vigilance . Nothing is so necessary and especially at this time , as that the people should look Well to the conduct of those who have the guidance of their . movement and the control of iheir ftadsj giving : ' . hoaonr to whom honour may be

due , and according such censure or admonition as may serve to keep every foot in the strait and straight path . If the people have a-fault , it is that they are frequently disposed to bei too remiss in < = ur . veillance ; whereby small deviations from Tight practice , too often grow at-length into frightful aberrations from ptinoiplc , which compel them to cast off parties who with better watching might have long continued to be good and useful servants . We hava neither time nor space this week for the directing of attention to many items in this doenment which we think specially deserving of regard . Whether w « may do so next week or npt » we trust that the people will at all events make themselves intimately
acquainted with it ; that they will read it carei . ully ftlong with the plan of organization , and observe p ' . r icily tho degree of faithfulness with which the funds passing tbrough the bands of their ' acknow « ledged servants have been appropriated and expended in accordance with its provisions . We think the Executive have a right to require this of . them ; it is well and necessary to exnibit palpably th « contrast between the mode of manaeement adopted in like matters by the factions over whom the people have no control , and by their own appointed and res spoasible . publio servants . Nothing tends more forcibly to'illustrate the value of our principles than tho comparison between reckless class rapacity and stern democratic , honesty . " '
Now , Gentlemen , read that article again , and then say if there is anything in it at all" calculated to injure the feelings of the Executive "; and remember that every word I have since said about it baa been forced from me by tho abusive violence of tha Executive , because of my . having . "' thus simply called public attention tothe matter . ¦ . "'¦ : . - . Gentlemen , '—I trust you now see that your kind suggestion to me to perform my duty in the least possibly offensive manner has beeii abundantly an « ticipated by me in this very matter . It was nol
only my " right . " as a Couucillor 6 f the Association , bu t my duty as a friend to the cause , and an honest Chartist , to enforce compliance with the rules and principles of tho Association , as far as my power went . I saw them grossly violated by the Executive ; I joined my fellow Cosmcillors , who first called my attention to : it , in a " kind admonition , '' which Vre sent lo them privately , simply because I was desirous to avoid " criminating through the columns of a newspaper , thereby retarding the progress of oui movemeut , and giving cur eremies an opportunitj of exulting over our weakness . "
For the samo reasons , I did all I possibly could to prevent others , who had taken up the ma . tor fro-ni makingit public and to induce to take a like course of "kind" .. nd privato " atimonitioa" ; and when at lastj fiadingall this unavailing , I found my duty to . " - sfiud tho subj ; ct before the publio" imperative ' ,. I /' . id it precisely in the terms jvhioh I liaro quoted above from the Star . ! ' ... "''¦ Gentlemen , I have doze my duty .. - You have also done youra . Your " kind admonition" I . receive even thankfully ; becauso though given under misconception it was kindly moaht . I wish' tha like spirit or charitablo aud honest Chartism would pervade all men . I am , Gcntlcm"n , . : : . - ' ' . ' ; . . -:. * Yours iaithfully - ¦' , ¦'¦¦ ¦ ¦ : Wm . Hill . -

THE NORTH LANCASHIRE DELEGATES TO THE MEMBERS 0 F- -THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATIQNi THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE-, i ANpi TO MR . HILL , EDITOR OF THE " NORTHERN" STAR . " ¦ Brotuee . Chartists , — J ) seply impMssed » Ilh the necessity ofUnionat ail times , but more especially at the present important crisis , / when Qoyernment ptrsecntion is endeavouring to crush our movement by pouncing on those who h&va nobly stood forward in the advocicy of our just claims : and whon professing friends , assuming specious names , sporting the varied colours of the cameleon , and resorting to all sorts of wily tricks to entr .-pns , in order that we may serve their base and sordid purposes ; We Seem it necessary to offer a f w sober remarks on the ' -Tery unpleasant differences that now exist at head quarters , trustins __
that we may be ab ' e by these , riieaps to -all-iy those differences , which , in cur opinion , ( judging from the appearance they now wtar . ) threaten to impair , if not destroy , our . moral power and influenca . We have witnessed with sorrow and regreVmany times the paper yiflicta 6 t men professing , our principles , and ;' . so * ten have hoped that what we were then rending would be the last , that surely a tiuie Would arrive when we could agree io dijfer on minor matters , without entering into a system of criminating and recriminating through the colunina of a newspaper , thereby retarding the progress of oar own niovtiueut ' , aud giving our enemies an opportunity of-exulting over eur weakness ; but , alas ! we have been miserably disapppointed ; and it . is' again . our pai . ful lot to see the columns of the Northern Star r . ft ' ordinsj materiala for our enemies to revel in . to our own destruction .
Hiving careully examined the statements , pro . and con ., tha - have appeared , we-are-obliged to ' ssy-that the conduct of the Executive , in misaprTjing tho funds of the Association , and departing froci tho rules of the Organ ' zUion , is f : > r from saiifactory ; .-artd wa are also compelled to siy that tMe language of Mr . Hill in svnding the sul j ^ ct before the public , is calculated to injure tha feelini' 8 of the Executive , aud thereby cau ^ o rahecut and ill-feeling to exist in © ur racks .. -, . - ¦ We are decidedly of opinion that Mr , Hill , as a member of the Natjoual Charter Association , had a perfect rit ; ht to call the attention of his brother Chartists to the 'Balance Sheet , 'and also to cfi ^ r his opinion thorep ' n : nevetthekas it would have besn more satisfact ' ery ' to us to have seen it couched in miider language-kind admonition rather than harsh rebuke we consuier would have been better calculated tosfft'efc the object desired , therefore we caiinot but attach Hlamu . to both .
For exprrssinc the above opinion we mean no offence to either Mr . Hill or the members of . tho Executive , our solo aim being . to heal if possible the" brOach thus made : and in oriier to take-from-our tnamiea a chance of . using , weapons of cur own forcing agzv . st ui , wo aie perfectly willing to bary in oblivion tha past , auo endeavour to concentrate an imperishable union ' . of energy , fortitude , and perseverance , in order to free ourselves and our fellow slaves from the trammels of Oppression and . misrule . . We have avoided going into tho cbarges in detafl , to prevent fuel beine ailtie : ! to the flre , f . » r we hava learned by sad experience , tbaS when once an affiilr of ttiis or any other description is complained Of , parties meddling in it have , by critiaisiug and picking , urmvjidably protracted the difference , and at lenuth made it a difficult task to allay tho mud paasiona thus routed . ' . . ¦•
It ia really sickening td-be-p . Tp . etuily . at war amongst ourselves ; it is e ough to drive . ' sterling patriots , and useful members from our rr . uks ; it is therefore essential to sniothe ; -those differences at eiice . - . -Lit . « 3 profit by the past , aud work far the fdtura vrith indomitable courage , perseverance and energy . Ir . conclusion ,, we . wouul respectfully s ' . igg-st to the Editor of the Northern Star to prevent the ps ^ es of that paper from referring any move to ttr . a sffir ' r , that wtienever ho feals it his duty to refer to tf-. a con- ' . uct of l } is brother Chartists in whatever cipacity ttwymay be placed , to so convey his opinions aa to give the least offtince .
To the Members of the Executive we would . ilso say , adhere strictly to the rules of the organisation ! Place youselyes in a position that your brethren may not have cause to complain . To the General Councillors we would peirit their attention to the rules nnd adyiss them to insist on the members in their several localities , a rigid adherence to the sime , that tho Executive may not have to complain of the seantv means at their disposal to perfect and mature our organisation . To our brother members we Would say foreefc tho past ; let it go by as a passing breeze ; let no trait inycurconductsivQ a handle , to bur enemies ; but lettit be such that neither
fiew move , new new move , Tory , or Corn-Law Repealer , may point the-finger-of reproach , and say there '' . goes a Cbrirtiat ; let our motto be " Union , " our watchword Love , Truth our guide , and our Charter the object in view ; we may then bid 'defiance to Wttiggisni and Toryism , New Moves , and New New Moves . Their combined forces cannt baffle our efforts . Toe banner . of liberty will proudly nutter in the bretz 9 i despotism will perish , and on its ashes will tread a free and a happy people . " .

Nj-wton Heath . —Soine time aijo tte overseers of . this place called a meietin ^ of the ratepayers to elect a number of ; persons to act as special constables under the New Police Act . But the ratepayers passed a resolution to the effect , that the township was in no danger , and had burthens enough to boar without finding men to go into other parts of the country , and return cripples , and becptna cl . argcablo to the township perhaps for life . Tha resolution for the non-election of constables was carried unanimously . The overseer took the news of the meetins ; to Mr . Maude at the New Bailey , he flew in a rage , and said , as the ratepayers had refused to appoint them , the overseer must give him tho list , and he would appoint them himself . But after referring to the Act he found ' that it did not
vest such power jn him , and he was sorry for it ; but ho -would -write to tho Secretary of State upon tha subject . But it did not end here . Mr . Rutter , the Coroner , rccbnimended the overseers to call another meeting , and if the ratepayers refused to appoint the requisite number of constables , they mi ^ ht s erve them wilb . a writ of mandamn 3 . Ia accordance with vhia recommon ^ atipn ,. the overseers called another meeting of theVatepayers on Tuesday evening last . Whoa the business was '' . brought ' -, forward , the ratepayers carried a resolution " that the meeting bo adjourned until Easter Monday next . " This was more than tho overseers expected . ; but the election of spepials js put off until thattiine , and there is uo doubt , but if they atternpt tho same business again , that a further adjountineut of the question will be the consequence , v ' ¦" .- ¦' .

TO THE EDTTOn OF THE KOETHEHN STAR . Sir—In the Sheffield Independent of Isst Siturday , iippcared a letter ' signetl " John iiarshall , " enquiring wbat'had . become of tha monies collected ami sent to tbe Slur office for the purpose of bringing . the rennins of the martyred patriot ; Ciayton , to Sheffield , but which , owing to circuii . dtances , needless to be repeated here 1 , were not applied to the purpose for which they had been collected . : The object of the writer of the letter has evidently been to bring odium upou the Chartists in gener . il , and the Northern Star in particular , by .. causing the unthinkuig to believe , that the monies in question had been- ' -wrongfully appropriated ; such was undoubtedly his objsct , otherwise he would have written to you , instead of to that bitter , foe of Chartism ; the conductor of the Independent . I believe application has been made to Mr . Ardill to give ' up the money to Mrs . Clayton , the widow of the deceased , but the money having been entrusted to Air . A . for a special purpose ,
that gentleman has clearly no authority to give it up for any other purpose without the previous sanction of the parties who contributed to it . To bring thia matter to an early settlement , I Would suggest : the propriety of the parties who in ShtfBeld and elsewhere gave any docs-tion to the above monies , meeting in their respec tive localities to decide by resolution what is to be done with th « monies in question , and each locality to immediately communicate itc resolution to the Northern Star . It r may be permitted to eay s word aa to the purpose to which the monies should be applied , I would respectfully suggest that they be given to the widow , Mrs . Ciayton , who is , I believe , in anything but prosperous cireemstances , has many claims in point of familyj * c-i on the kindness of her ¦ friends , and is every -way worthy of every assistance that csti be rendered her . . .
