My deab Fbjesds , —In 1838 I asked you for a defence fnnd to enable me to meet those attacks which I well knew authority would make upon my party . I explwc&d to you the mode of collection , the purposes to which it should be applied , and the benefits which would accrue from it ; bat &s the wolf was not then at hand yon never dreaded his approach . Many is the time that I hare since regretted your apathy . Your compliance at that time ; would have saved us thousands sinoe , as I should have been enabled to give faction a surfeit by exposing acts of oppression to which individuals
have been subjected as an experiment t « try the national . temper . Yon cannot justify your noncompliance by pleading poverty , as in the following year you gave to one man a larger sum for his defence than has been expended upon law by our party since ihe commencement of legal persecutions However , I am not going to dwell long upon the subject , nor yet to say more by way of censure , but merely to point out your foily and your consequent suffering for not having taken my advice . In June , July , and August , of the present year , I foretold the
coming storm , and I implored you m North and South Lancashire , in Yorkshire , and throughout the Midland Counties , to fold your arms when the tariff revolution should commence . I prophesied everything that has since occurred . Nor do I blame you for being caught in this snare of the tempter ; I merely remind you of those thing 3 to strengthen my name as a prophet , in order to give additional weight to my future predictions . I have means of information , which you have not ; I have leir ore to stndy political movements , wfeich yon have not ; I have an individual interest in the sncces 3 of our
cause which no other living man has , to the same extent . All circumstances combine to make me an honest man , if I am not so naturally . In short , whh me , and for me , honesty is not only the best , bat the only policy . I hare an interest besides a pleasure in being honest . Well , now hear my next prediction . If assassination of me should be necessary to insure a full-and complete union between all the difisrent streams of Whiggcry for the restoration of that party to power , even that will not be left entried or unapplied , to bring about what is called a union of all Reformers . And our ranks being poor , andthe Tories not standing in need of agitation , Whig
money , under any species of disguise , will be spent upon demagogues and hired lecturers , to make a diversion in favour of u free trade , " which means Whigsery . Already the Editor of the Morning Chronicle , the leading orgaa of that hellish faction , has gone as far as even juby servility would allow him , to induce a recourse to fire and incendiarism , as a means of producing a union amongst Reformers , The ^ attempt is being madr . Feelers are put OHt everywhere , and the people ' s temper is being tested upon the sulj ; ct of uniGn . A Conference was to have been held nest month at Birmingham , of delegates of the electoral body for that purpose , but thanks to the ever-watchful eye of the Editor of the
Northern Star , he has driven them from their fa 3 tness and csmpelled that democratic body to abandon their class notion . Here then at Birmingham , and next month , will bs the trial of strength between Eham and real principles . This Conference will be the most important ever held . If the people are unprepared they will be sold to the Whigs . Much of the £ o 0 , GCQ will be spent in corrupting the delegates ; but yet have I reliance upon the public voice . Bere then we may try our strength against Whiggery , and if elected , there I will go to lend my aid in its destruction . No man in hi 3 seases can fail to gee what is now going on , and the leaning of the Complete SufEragites to the Free-trade party .
If any Chartist requires rules and good ones for hi 3 government , let him read the following proceedings of a meeting recently held in Glasgow , and eepeeially the concluding question to the "huiabugs " :-" The directors of the Glasgow Charter Association met in their Hall , College Open , on Friday evening , Mr . H . Crawford in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting being read and confirmed , Mr . Brown , secretary , requested that the appointment of tie Observation Committee being the first subject in order of discussion be postponed to the next meeting ; he made this request from reasons which he waa not prepared just then to state , unless pressed to do to . Agreed to .
" The subject of the delegate meeting , agreed to at the List meeting of the directors , was then taken into consideration , when it was unanimously agreed that ths said meeting be held on Tuesday evening , tee 15 th instant , in the Chartist Church , East R ^ gentsUe&t " Mr . Aucot said he had seen in the Nonconformist a report of the late meeting of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Union , from which it appeared they had altered the plan original !? laid down for tee election of delegate * to the Conference to be held in December next
" It was agreed , that as the matter was now left in the hands of the people , that in the circular calling the delegate meeting on the 15 th , the various shops , factories , and districts , be requested to instrnct their respective delegates as to whether they wisb to tend delegates to the forthcoming Conference . There appeared to be a unanimous feeling that the necessary number of delegates be sent to represent Glasgow . We trust the people will now do their duty , and send from every town and locality the necessary number of representat ives , and let those be stern , uncompromising democrats—let there be bo trimming as to allowing each party an equal number at all meetings—let the voice , the omnipotent voice of the people , be the only rolelei ihe people bear in mind thai one vote , by ose DELEGATEMAT DESXEOT THE "WHOLE .
* - In ease any attempt be made to call meetings for the appointment of delegates at an hour when it ma ; be inconvenient for the working class to attend , at the riik of being considered factious , we would recommend the following , in order that this Conference may in reality be mads a reflex of the public mind . Should a meeting be called in the forenoon , or in the sfttinoon swmer than eigkt o ' clock , p . m ., Jet such of the people ' s friends &s may find it possible , attend , and move an adjournment till eight o ' clock , p . m . ; and if circumstances should require it , let the discussion « n the adjournment be continued till eight o ' clock , when the people should be warned to attend ; let them be
duly apprised of their Meads' determination not to aliow any vote to be taken before they , the peeple , huive an opportunity of attending . Let none shrink from tbeir duty on this occasion ; the abuse of faction is easily borne , bat a wrong vote once taken , sometimt-s is not easily cancelled ; better be charged with making long speeches th » n allow delegates to be appointed who do not represent public opinion . L * t all bear in mind that no committee can , or dare presume to make rolea f « conducting the business of meetings called for the election of delegates ; no man there dare take upon him to fey who shall or shall not
sptak , or how loEg they shall speak ; every man there has a right to express bis opinion , either in five minutes or in five hours . No Manchester cSfrical humbug , no making the Chatter movement subservient to Whig gammon ; we know the tricks of some of these parties ; we are fnlly a-ware of their movements , and shall in doe time exhibit them to the public eye . "Why are tbe proceedings of the list meeting ot the Compete Suffrage Association held in Nelson-street not p-ablished ? Are they afraid to let it be known that they discussed the propriety o ! joining the League ? If "we are wroDgly informed we are willing to be corrected . "
Now , my friends , a Scotchman ' s word is as good as an Irishman ' s blow , so if you don't mind me , mind the Scotchmen . 0 , fcr a few fnch English middle-class men as Moir , Proudfoot , M'Pherson , { Aberdeen ) , Ancoat , and the g : orious George Ross . In hopo to see Eome or all of them there speaking the Scotch rnind to our middle-class delegates ; till then farewell . Mark my wcrd and act accordingly . I have in ray hand about £ 10 for the purpose of Bending delegates , and I will add cy mite . But let us meet them and make them friends or prove itiem enemies . Ever your faithful friend , Feabgcs Q'Cokkob ,

A mass of correspondence from the provinces was read ; amoDgst the rest , a letter from Mr . Leeson , classical teacher , in Wlrklpw , transmitting the request of Mr . JefiWra , of that vicinity , for admission . Mr . Guinness addressed tbe meeting at some length ! on the right of every man , living under laws and supporting the state , to a voice in the regnlation of public property . He regretted that tbeir agitation could not be carried on without any an madversions on Mr . O'CoonelL—Mr .
O'Uigsina , la proposing a member , said that it was quite silly to suppose that they could discuss politics in Ireland without incidentally mentioning Mr . O'Connell's name , particularly when they took into consideration that geutlemian ' s sluuous , inconsistent , aiul he would add unworthy course respecting the Charter . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) If he let them alone they certainly would not be the first te attack ; but let any one look at tbe insults offered Chartists generally and their body in particular by Mr . O Connell in his last report upon Repeal , and say if they would not be altogether destitute of the spirit and bearing which Ueloiised to honest and independent men , if they did not fling back upon their author the infamous aspersions made upon the Chutists of England , and th 9 affected contempt—while he feared it in
his heart—with which he treated their association—( cneers ) . For his own part he wonld , in imitation ot tbe Roman Brutus , say that though he liked Mr . OConnell well , he likfd Ireland better—( hear ) . When be said he liked O Connell , he meant the O'Connell of otbei days , ere be bad lost tho feeling , the frankness , the fervor , and the honesty wbich he battered for Whig patronage , and became the hired supporter of a party vrhich , in a sincere moment , be had justly denominated " base , bloody , and brutal . "—( cheers . ) Mr . Dyott said Mr . O Connell had talked about the " innate utility' * of Chartism having been begrimed and destroyed by the follies of thoas connected with tbe movement . Mr . O'Connell should know that principle and " innate utility' were indestructible and immutable in their
nature ; no individual nor even general guilt er folly could destroy principle or obliterate utility . — ( hear , hear ) . Although persona of violent conduct of even atrocious crime , bad disfigured the Chartist ranks , the " Charter "—that pure embodiment of a natiun ' o justice , and a nation ' s sentiment stood intact and entire , nay shene the more refulgent after it had been passed through the furnace of adversity . —^ Hea » . ) But be denied that one tenth of the violence or physical force bad tuken place in England , ( luring the agitation for the Charter , which had marked the progress of tithe agitatiun in Ireland . —( hear , )—an agitation which , as Mr . O'Higgins hud ably proved , was so impotently concluded by Mr . O Cannell , whose health the parsons of Ireland were in the nightly habit of toasting . —( Hear and laugh "
lev . ) But Mr . O Connell repudiated any connection with Chartibm : inte how sad a mistake then had his fdtu Achates , Mr . bttele fallen , who at the meeting of the Repeal Association immediately previous , had declared tbey were V all Chartists , " though not OConnorites . — ( Htar . ) Mr . O'Connell said they were "few " and " snisignifictint . " He ( Mr . D . ) had a hundred times heard the same mighty leader Bay that no man was too humble —no individual too insignificant to assist in the work of hia country ' s regeneration . Yet now he tellB us that we , 1 036 p rsona , were too contemptible for notice ! Which does this u&ct disgrace on—O'Connell or tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association ?—( Hear , hear . ) Can he be called the friend of democracy ?
Yet be owes all to the people . —( Cheers . ) The fact wm Mr . O'Connell waa an aristocrat and leagued to tbe Whig faction . Be knew well that the repeal as now sought was all delusion and kambocile ; but he lived on the success of the Emancipation agitation , and by Ingenuity he had dextrously made the Irish think that it was he who carried the measure , which had been making progress before he was born , and was finally achieved by tbe devotednesa of tbe forty shilling freeholders , whom be basely betrayed—( hear )—after c'imbing into Parliament on their suffrages , and helping in all his relations and friends , to save them , in many instances , from arrests , until they could be provided for out of the taxes , and placed as additional burdens on the shoulders of an im-

poverished and ecedulaus people , who believed him sincere , and subscribed upwards of £ 20 . 060 a-year in proof of their gratitude , which kept him from taking office himself , because three Lord Chancellorshi p " would not put as muck in bis wallet ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) They had at length begun to spread the truth amongst the people ; hence the former abuse and the present affected contempt of Mr . O Connell ; they gave him credit for his hatred , to all who opposed his dictatorship and exposed his inconsistency . Bat he would find that as they bad progressed under his calumnies , so they would live out his contempt , while it was his ( the speaker ' s ) firm , conviction that the testy ant * thwarted old man w-suld die of a new complaint—he would die of a " second society . "—( Hear , and laughter ) The Chairman , Mr Moran , gave a graphic account of Mr . O'Connell ' s conduct to the tradesmen of Dublin , during the time of his recession to avoid voting on the Canada bill , when his friends , the Whigs , were coercing that people . He eaid he an 4 others who had then denounced the base attacks of the middle-class Liberator , met with all kinds of opposition and obloquy . But truth , said Mr . Moran , prevailed . Mr . O'Connell , after spending lots of the people ' s money on a "Commission , " was obliged to surrender to tbe men , and be ( Mr . Moran ) had been presented with a silver snuff-box for his exertions—( hear , and Cheers . ) After some other buaineaa bad been transacted , and several othor remarks made , the meet-Ing aeoatiited .

¦¦¦ ^ J&orfyv * MANCHESTER— Carpenters Hall . - On Sunday last two lectures wt . se delivered in tfc « above Hail by Wui . Dixoa in the afternoon , and by . Mr , J . Leach " in the evening . The lectures were well attended , la tbe aftsmoou Mr . J . Murray was called to the chair , and opened the meeting by making a moat fteli&g appeal to the Chartists of Manches t er en bebslf of the victim Ellis , and the other brave follows who art nuffering La the people ' s cause . —Mr . ^ D . xod then entered into an analysis of tbe Reform Bill , and the effect it had produced upon the community ; aft * r * wh !< - . h ia made a few remarks upon the life and labours of the immortal Henry Hunt , and tbe treatment which that sterling patriot received « , t tbe hands of the people during tho agitation for the Whig humours : and con »
eluded by an appeal on behalf of those suffering in the cause , and especially on behalf of the Tory victim , Eli * . A very liberal subscription w&s made towards defraying the expencea of Mr . Eiiis ' s ease . In the evening the Hall was crowded with a highly respestable aadience . Mr . Knight Was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . Kuight said that when ha entered the ball he had not the most distant idea of being called to the chair . But he ( Mr . Knight ) was proud to say that he was a member of & family that had suffered much in the cause of right against might Mr . Kuight then commenced a severe satire upon the so called Christian ministers of this country , and concluded by stating , that if the ministers of religion had < 1 o :: e their duty the people would not have been in tueir nreseut
dep \ o » ab \ e condition , and concluded his remarks by introducing Mr . Leach . Mr . Leach said that the remarks of the Chairman reminded him cf soine little business that he had had with the parsuna during the past Week . The circumstances of which were , that he had taken an active part in the getting up of -c petition for a man that'had been transported for Hftoen juara at the late commission at Liverpool , for being in company with sonuj others , who were begging in Thomas ' street . Tbe sum that they received was four shillingcaad sixpence , and . tbe parties giving it swore that they save it from fear . He { . Mr . Leach ) was sura that tbia man was as innocent of the charge as any man in that meeting ; but because he was seen in tbs crowd , he had thia severe sentence passed upon him . His
wife had two children , and bad been delivered of a deaJ child in the Manchester workhouse since her husband was sent to prison ; and , it was the Opinion ot the doctors who attended her that tbe death of the cbttd wm oacwatoaad by hsc fntting for her husband . He ( Mr . Leach ) thought that it would be advisable to get the petition signed by some of tbe parsons of the town , knowing that they would have ? ome influence with Si ? Jamea Graham—and thinking that the man ' s wife would be the likeliest to make an impression in bis favour—he Bent her to several of those meek gentlemen . But , did they sign the petition ? No , they did not , but told the poor woman that her husband bad only got what he deserved , and that he and all the rest ought to suffer for their horrid crimes . Ho then
said that he would dismiss the " parsons , " and coma to a subject with which they wore more immediately interested . It appears ( said Mr . Leach ) that the middle classes ace determined that if you will not join in a union with them , that they will compel you —( hear , hear )—or , at least , if you wuut unite with them , they Hill make you pay your share of £ 50 , 0010 ; and how did they do thia ? Why , the very last week , several of the manufacturers had made their work-people contribute to this fund . But what are -we to unite with them for ? Is it for the Charter 1 No ; but a repeal of the Corn Laws . There was no man moro anxious for & union of the middle and working classes than he ( Mr . Lynch ) , providing that that union was based upen the principle * of
honeaty . He ( Mr . L ) was wilting to unite with the Duke of Wellington , or any other man , no matter what was his name , his party , or his creed , if he would give an even-hauded measure of juBtice to the whole people ; but if it was short of this he ( Mr . Leach , ] would have nothing to do with it , nor allow the people to be led astray by any ' clap trap' without being told of their danger . The London press ia now dragging up the ashes of the murdered Holberry , and endeavouring by this measure to get jour good wishes , and by taking up the name of Holbary as the murdered victim of the Tories , try to persuade you to throw out the Tories and put in the Whigs . But when you were sending petitions and memorials to tbe Whigs , telling them that the prison discipline was billing - Holberry , did the
Chronicle or any other part of the press , with the exception of your own orgaa ; back yoor prayera ? No . The name of Holberry Was not to be found in their pages—but the fact is thp . re is this £ 50 000 , and their fingers are itching to get hold of a part of it , and there is nothing too mean for them to stoop to for money . He ( Mr . Leach ) thought that the working men of England set more value upon the sacred ashes of Holberry fcaan to let faction make use of them to entrap them into an ignoble union witb tbeir greatest enemies . Mr . Leach then exposed the fallacious arguments brought forward by the Leaguers , one or two of which is all we can give in this brief report . The Corn-Law gentry have got anew argument that they are spouting forth . We have been telling them that if all
the world was to grow corn , for us we could not eat it . Oh I say they , now we never intended that the corn that we brought should be eaten in England , we would send port . with our shipping to other parts of the world . This , said Mr . Leach , is the truth . They neier did intend that we should eat the corn , but where would we band it ? It -would look rather strange to bring it from America and take it back again . But suppose they took it to France , the fact is if they needed it the people thera must , be engaged in some other way than growing com . for themselves and the consequence would be that if they wanted our corn they would not want our manufactured goods . Laurence Hey worth says that when food ia cheap the working classes clothe themselves , and the conEsquecce is , that wages advance , and trade is good
Well , food has come down in tbe market ; but have wages advanced ? No ; on the contrary , thb masters of this town have taken advantage of this , and have said to their work-peuple , food is cheap , and therefore you can live upon less—and in place of wages rising , they have been reduced , and the consequence is , that the food of the peop e is not any cheaper , bat dearer , than it was , far they have less to buy it with . Mr . Cobdeo distinctly Btated , last week , that the wages of the working classes in this country most come down whether the Com Laws , were repealed or not Mr . Leach then referred to America , and said , how is it ? if we could Lav ^; such a good market in that country , that there is so much distress there amongst tha cotton operatives , many of whom are coming back to this country to seek
that employment they cannot find there 1 and how comes it to pass that the back settlements of America have so much corn on hand that they are willing to give ub in return for clothing tbat they stand so much in need of , and at the same time the corn is wanted ak New York and Philadelphia ; and at those places they have plenty of clothing as good as ours to give them in return ? In fact , said Mr . Leach , ic is all a delusion , and as it regards the cheapness of food , it just depends upon your capability to purchat-e- The reductions in the wages of the powerloom weavers of Manchester within the last sixteen or eighteen months have been more than all the bread he-eats , the tax upon it , and altogether . Lawrenco Hey worth is right , a home market is what we waut , for we exchange our biootl and sweat fur articles of no value , to decorate the persons of a bleated
aristocracy , who have become a pigmy race by their licentious and luxurious manner of living , and require the aid of tinsel and precious stones to make their persons fit to look upon . At a ball held some time ago in London , their persons were decorated with diamond ! to the value of £ 4 000 , 000 , whilst the working classes who bad produced that which went to purchase those baubles , was Btarving . Working men , what would you think of giving 300 , 060 pieces of calico for a little stone no larger than a borae-bean ? i \ lr . Leaches / lecture took upwards of twe hours in . the delivery , and-was most instructive . At the conclusion Mr . William Qrocott read the letter of Mr . O'Connor from tho Star of last Saturday , ¦ which was received with repeated rounds of applause . After the thanks of the meeting bein ;{ given to tiie Chairruan and lecturer , the assembly dispersed .
Manchester Youths . —A lecture was delivered by Mr . Wiliia : u Bradsfaaw , in their Room , Tib-street , opposite Green-street ; en Tuesday evening last Two now members were enrolled . The room is open every Tuesday evening for lectures and discuaaion . IXATCINGTON . —At a meeting of the Chartists of this locality , the sura of £ l 17 s . was banded in for the Defenca Fund Ri . ffle , and five shillings for White ' s support , Letters wero read from Hull , Bristol , London , and Stratford , all enquiring for particulars respecting the painting to bei rsffleJ . Mr . Donaldson appealed to the meeting in support of the Gsneinl Victim and Defunto Fund . He hoped that funds would be rendered available , to rescue that good and virtuous man , poor ElHa , from the foul grasp of the demons of mis >
rule . Ho solemnly declared Ellis was innocent of the crime for which he was sentenced to be expatriated . Was there a father or a husband in the country , possessed of a spark of humanity , who could stand unmoved , and not raise his voice to save that innocent man ? was there a tender wife or mother , la whose bosom flowed one . drop cf tba miik of human kindness , who would not sympathise with the bereaved and Bfflicted Mrs . Ellis , who was at this moment weeping over her helpless offspring , witb an agocy of feeiuig which none but an affectionate wife who hus been robbed of her protector and second self con experience ? For his part , aa a parent and a . husband , his reflections on the subject overpowered him , and nearly choked Uis utterance . He could but again earnestly entreat his brother Chartista to unite with him in renewed exertions to save the
victims of cruel doss made oppression . —Mr . Sansford felt deeply for the whole of the political victims , and it pained him to find that not more than one-fourth of the value of the beautiful oil painting bad yet been realiiad by the few tickets sold for their benefit ; however , as the letters read that night Implied that their friends a * a distance required further information , and time to dispose of more tickets , he begged to move that tba raffia be deferred until tbe 38 th tost . The motion was seconded by Mr . Hanley , and carrried unanimously . Ticfceta at one shilling each may be had by applying to Jnmes Shepheri , sub-Secretary , of the National Charter Association , care of Mr . Djaaldson , Chapel-street , Warwick . The subject for discussion next sight will be on t :. e propriety » nd necessity of tbe Chartists sending delegates to tue Sturge Conference at Birmingham , to render it a truty national undertaking .
