" If ire look to the state of feeUnjr in Ireland , in Scotland , in England , and in Wales -where Is the Etatesman that can contemplate events vfithout the most Eerions apprehensions ? and when tfb conader the torn that the leaders of the jnidiHe classes in the fonx countries Vfould eive
± 0 " those events , it behoves the friends of yonr order io be at iheir posts , lest the country may be driven into a bloody revolution . Just mark , bow the leading organ of the middle classes can treat j © f the ¦ nolence of thai order , when levelled against any abnse that . affects their own interest ; "While the same organ , -would deny io the working classes even the iight of complaint . IBie Tunes xewFpsper all but encourages the Middle classes in "Wales engaged in scenes of midnight Tiolence ; and heFpeaks of the conduct of the Bebeccaites -with arms in their hands , threatening the destruction of Yoor-honses , and respiring , upon the redress of their own grievances , as the proper means of going to "work to make * dfia £ iaiiho : my £ eHrJr " a » d compares : them to the " physical-force Charfots , " whose Inflammatory laJangijes upon the subject of much greater grievances -was too strong & dose for the ¦ wuHtiTBxtoinajBh-Di'ihetZMnM . "Now learn a lesson
of wisdom from this . T&e Chartists inarched into Newport in 1 S 39 , -with a few old pikes and with sx old gara J&w would sot £ 0 nS . The Tunes sent a reporter dswn to the district , whose inBtmctions "srere to create a deadly hostility against the Charfists in general , and against Psosr in particular . ! Dns reporter wormed himself into the intimacy of some of the Welch gentry , and succeeded through the Times , in creating an nnconquerabie prejucice agjdnit Irostjand the Chartists , in the minds of the jnry class . Ths same jnry class care now discoTered gnerances of their own , and h&ye taken much more Tioknt steps for redressing them 5 and the Times 5 n almost plsia words tells them v > stick to it , for that they hare sow taken the proper course .
It will be borne to mind that I cautioned the working clases . of Wales against taking any part ^ rhateTer in tlie ** Bebecea riDtB ; and if no other justification could lie offered for such counsel , I think it will be f ennd in the praise lavished by the Times npon thB * Bebeccaites . " I tad two letters last " week from Mertfcyr ^ TydTll , written by order of the dartists 5 and from both 1 learn , that the Chartists of that district * b&Ye -unanimously lesolred sot to iaTe any thing to -do with Hebecca , " secret associafeonS j OT midnight meetings ; -senile a deputation that waited apon me at Bath , from the Tery Fcene of HebeceaiEm / ' assured me that the Chartists -would take no part wiiateyer in the toll and rent straggle ; as ibejiad no hoists to driTe or land to j >» j rent for . And jet , althoogfr the Editor or the 3 ime s ~ kBew that 2 had connselled the Chartists
against taking any part in the "Bebeeeaiie" proceedings ; and although he knew that I was at the Tower Hamlets , speaking , on Tuesday night , and at the Hotnnda , on Wednesday night ; yet the beastly Wanderer assured Ms readers on Friday ih&t 2 was iorering ; about Wales , ^ watching she result of the present struggle in the lope-of pushing my revolutionary principle 1 !! So much for Wales and "Rebecca ; " 2 ? ew for Ireland and O'ConndL ! Nev £ r was there more magnanimcua condnct than ihit displayed by the English Chanists towards the Irish Sepealers ; while for jnysdf indiridnaliT , I think h mil beadmiited . that as far as individual dCTBDnaid the < Ieyo » ion of the NorQiernStmr to the . cause of Kepeal could go , the Hepealers have had no reason to complain . If in the outset Repeal Wistoiave been made instrumental to the redress
-of popular grievances , the -Chartist body can in nowise be charged "spritb tbe crime of obstruction ; and & is because I see visible sgns of a -desire to rely Bpon other than -domestic support for the accomplishmeniolBepeal that 1 feel myself called upon to tender & word of advice upon the subject at this stage of agitation . I do not believe that Mr . O'Connell anticipated having the support , or even lie coantenance , of tie Chartist body in the Kepeal agitation ; on the contrary , he had manifested an ince ? Fant desire , firstly to represent the Chartists as a weak , Tngjgrirfii'iiTit : « t » A unprincipled body , whose eo-operauon would be v ^ ueless : and , secondly to inspire a belief that their " piivscal force" doctrines would make their alliance dangerous .
I can make Tery great allowances for sudden changes in ths taeocssnd the mantsuTrings of a political leader , whose actions most in many cases be governed Jby the movement of others ; bnt while 1 am ready "to construe ibis rale fa . Y 0 nr 2 . bly to Mr . CCopnell , nevertheless , I cannot leave the dnty oi TTaroing him undischarged . If then , Ireland * U to bb for the Irish ? and if the Bepea l of tie Bnion is 10 cotter ** Ireland upon the lrish , "tb . ere is no force 50 capable of effecting bis object as the perfect union and co-operation of these gardes Tfho siiffer from ine esstence of ice union j and if its repeal is te be beneficial both lo England and to Ireland ,
sorely a mdon of the English and Irish mind wonid ts ibe force be ^ t calculated to achieve the object ; and las soul , his ieart , and iis mind shonld be de-T « ed $ 0 the removal of those prejudices by which that union has ieen iiiierto prevented . But when I fiuo fnch an alliance not only rejected , but 'he aHisnee of a far less powerful iody courted to effect the same purpose , then do I begin to feel some apprehension as to the ulterior otsgo . When Irisimea -w 1 m > Stave 5 » m accasiomed to groan at the very tteniieit of Chartura are now invited to cheer for Prtncb co-optraiiou , I ask myself whether a French adTeuiurer or an English woxkingman can feel tbe StroEgtsl interest in ibe question of Irish justice .
As Jong as it served Mx . O'ConnelTs purpose to densucce Char&m in consequence of its hostility to Wh « sgerj 3 l treated hi 3 scorn with that contempt thai h . then ti ^ erved ; bnt as my soul is rivetted to thb principle of Bepeal , and because I think 1 have an interest in its accomplishment surpassing that which any frenchman can feel , I ^ nse the lairgnage of warning rather than of levity or eontempu As it i « s of all ibingF , necessary that the sentiments of puVlic men should ie ihoronghlj understood , 1 « nifcr £ ce this first opportunity of responding to the Irish cheer for theJFrench , iy registering tbe resolution * f one fighting tp ^ to reasS French interference , or any other foreign interference -to the drain ] and rather than look lo such an alliance for

month the functions of the British Parliament will liave ceased , and the rampant authority ; of the domestic faction will have been established . The Arms Bill Trill constitute the right of search , the title to insult , and the power to annihilate ; while it mnst be observable &at the Orange faction have already officially communicated with the Bng of Hanover , and "mlh the Government , against the religious tenets of ihe Queen ! And of such importance did the Government itself eonsder this charge of Puseyim against the monarch of unalloyed Protestantism ? to be _ v that the charge of the Boyal , Loyal , Protestant Operative Association was tboaght of sufficient importance to be submitted io the law officers of the Crown ! t
Those who know anything of Irish history most have seen , in the past , something -whereby a guess may * be made of tbe future ; while those who have read the resolutions of the Saxon Irish Lords , and of tbe Saxon Irish Grand Jurors , mnst have come to the conclusion that they but await their Arms' Bill to abandon , . their present defensive position , and to take their stand upon the offensive . It will be done , bnt nobody will doit . And when it is done , ihe 'Minister will defend its necessity ; and in applying to the House of Commons for Ministerial indemnity .
will remind the House that it was pledged to sapport ** strong measures of coercion , if needed" ; and the House not being assembled when circumstances required " strong measures , " Ihe Executive looked upon the pledge as tantamount to vesting all power in the discretion of the Lord Lieutenant , who , from bis presence , was most capable of applying the necessary means for tbe suppression of disaffection . Upon whose exertions and upon whose sympathies « an Mr . O'Connell , then , rely with the greatest certainly 1 whether npon those of honest English working men , or of Trench adventurers I r
I would warn him against drawing too nattering a conclusion from his hitherto unopposed progress ; and io rely npon it , that the finger of the l& \ r is stiff , sad pointed against Mm ; and that however he may &cek _ to separate himself from the acts of others moving in the same course ; and however he may still persevere in denouncing " physical force , - yet is his every word written down in the black book of class-legislation ; and that same law which led the Queen ' s Justices of England and the English Attorney and Solicitor General , to tbe conclusion that every overt-act done in furtherance of a conspiracy "was chargeable npon every conspirator ; and that
a conspiracy may exist amongst thousands and tens of thousands who never met or meet and who are unknown to each other ; and that conspiracy implies not secrecy but common design , will no doubt db strained against him . Should Mr . O'Connell be -caaghtin the wide spread nes of " conspiracy" by the indiscretion of others , to whom , 1 would ask , when Parliament is sot sitting , when Irish Orange sway is in the ascendant , and when it is in the power of ^ the Crown to command a Jury of the Orange faction , to whom would he then look for sympathy ! Whether to the sonnd public opinion of English workingmen , or to the frothy sensibility of French adventurers I
It is a pitiful position for a public man ; to allow his judgment to be warped by personal dislike ! and should tbe cause of Kepeal be injured Lby Mr . O'ConneH ' s refusal of that strength which can alone insure il—the Chartists of England will have tbe consolation of standing guiltless of the failure ; ¦ whiifc , the sound gense of ihe Irish Repealers will set tlem inquiring , as to the motives that could have dictated the policy . > In the midst of all ihe confusion to which I have referred , I am consoled by the proud position occupied by the working classes even under the present defective system of Organization : and to a
contiinance in that noble course I look ior more than payment for my long services . As I predicted , the League has died a natural death . w Hebeceaism " will follow , while Chartian will live to lourish in spite of its deadliest enemies . Had any damage occurred to the Bepeal agitation , through Chartist indifference or opposition , Mr . O'Conriell would have found himself justified in joining with any political party for the suppression of Chartism . To oar prudence , therefore , we owe oar superiority overall other political parties ; and I trust that ere long , that prndence will be rewarded with the full frais of freedom , of liberty , and of justice to alL Your faithful friend , Fkxbgxjs ( fOanton .

BiRMtNGHAltt . —Great Public Meetin * . — On Tuesday eveaing ,: August 8 ch , one of the most splendid meetings which had been held for a long period in this town took ] place in the Hall of Science ; the following placard having been extensively circulated on the morning of Tuesday : — a Attwoot / s J ^ otubn to Public Life !—Men of Birmingham , rally to the great public meeting , to be held this evening , in the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , for ttie adoption of an address to recall the above gentleman to the cause of the peeple ; and for toe appointment of a deputation , to wait upon Mm with the ; Address . "Intelligent , virtuous , oppressed working men , attend , and let those who would serve your cause know the feelings of your hearts , and the sentiments of your minds . ' * By order of the Council of the Birmingham Charter Association , ¦¦
u David Potts , Sec . 11 Johw JJewhouse , Assistant Sec . " Chair to bo taken at eight o ' clock . " At the hour of meeting , the place was crowded to great excess , while vast numbers were compelled to go away , being unable to obtain admission . Nothing could surpass the good feeling and enthusiasm which pervaded the vast assembly when the Council entered the Orchestra . Mr . Welsford stood forward , after the cheering had subsided , and moved that Mr . FoUoirspresideontheoccasion . Mr . Fussell seconded the proposal , an d it was unanimously carried . The Chairman rose and said , Ladies and Gentlemen , as yon have done me the honour of electing me to fill the chair , I hope every } one present will feel it their
oluty to preserve proper ! order while the business of the meeting is being [ laid before you . And let every one who may address you have a fair and patient hearing , no matter what maybe his opinions —( hear , hear ) . The-time has now arrived when our condnct , whatever it shall be , will either retard or advance the great cause of national liberty . Every thing depends on our resolution and propriety—( cheers ) . I will now read the bill calling the meeting , and then state the circumstances which have induced the Council to take this most important step ( The Chairman having read the bill proceeded ) . It may not , perhaps ' , be so generally known as it on ^ bt , that some short time ago the Journal announced that Mr . Attwood was about to
commence a public agitation ; whereupon a few individuals paid , no doubt , for their services , had commenced a serie 9 of J Ward meetings , where the public weie excluded from expressing their opinions —St . George ' s Ward taking the lead . And such had been the disgraceful conduct of these parties , that the council deemed it their duty to come out boldly ; and if Mr . Attwood had even a vestige of integrity , to afford him a free and ! honourable course to return to the advocacy of the principles , he embraced in 1838—< cheers ) . That the meeting might properly judge of the means these Ward agitators were adopting to extend an under-current influence ; that they might the more effectually make a successful public demonstration in favour of Mr . Attwood
-and his plans . He would relate 'a circumstance which occurred at their last week ' s meeting . One of Mr . iAttwood ' s friends proposed that a requisition should be adopted by the meeting there assembled ; and that means should be taken to obtain some 20 , 000 signatures ; and this was to be don ?> before even Mr . Attwood ' s plans had been known to the public . An amendment was proposed that no requisition be adopted . After much altercation , both propositions were withdrawn . To the surprise of the Chartist Council , the Journal of Saturday last actually reported that the requisition had been agreed to ! and of course they were now proceeding with it . The Council was determined that bo man should be deluded into such a
movement . An address had therefore been prepared , which , while it would defeat the plottings of wards , would , if Mr . Attwood was honest , give him a fair and honourable means of returning to the active advocacy of bis avowed principles . ( Cheers . ) No Becret work ! but let what is to be done , be done publicly . ( Load cheers . ) Having thus explained , he would call upon Mr . M&son , Mr . Mason rose and said—Mr . Chairman , ladies , and working mea , you have assembled on this occasion for an object the most important and sacred ia its nature—namely , to re-declare your devotion to those principles which can alone render our country happy , virtuous , free , and great . ( Cheers . ) On all occasions when our energies and moral power have been required to
defeat the many attempts Which have been mado to misdirect public opinion , and employ it for mere class purposes , or designedlyjio supersede our straggle for real and substantial justice , we have been basely misrepresented by the local press , the only medium of public communication in many places ; and by the national press , except so far as oar Scar has been able to counteract . Our principles have been ridiculed , perverted , and libelled ; and our policy at public meetings , however justifiable , has been denounced as factious and tyrannical—( hear , hear , hear ) . It is from such causes as these that we have more to fear than even the persecution of the Government . From thp Government we can expect no mora mercy than our own prudence can secure ;
but nei ther reason , truth , nor prudence , can shield ? 3 from that monster l assailant to working class justice—the press of the middle and upper classes—( loud cheers ) . There is but one means left us to disarm its influence over public opinion , and by which we may hope to triumph . Let us use it against them —( cheers ) - We have advanced against such a foe ; lev ns use its power against itself ! and let the press of the people conquer the press of their oppressors—( cheers ) . Oar great object in calling this meeting was to give public opinion its proper direction ; and place those who would be our friends in their real position . ( No sub-moves ' . —( laughter . ) If Mr . Attwood is to be invited , let it be done in an open and honourable manner : but Jet that
gentleman know how and in what manner , we can receive his services . Do not impugn his motives . If he is honest we will prove him . He used to teach the people ; he can't be angry if the people now teaoh him —( laughter ) . Mr . O'Connor and Mr . Duncomba have stood by ns ia the calm and in the tempest . We honour the just—( cheers ) . But whatever has passed , we shall not object to those who may be desirous to return to onr service , if they will pledge themselves to perform its duties—( loud cheers . ) Here let me ask , will you fiiye Mr . T . S . Duncombe the honour of a public entry into Birmingham , when the National Conference of dolegates meet in Birmingham to prepare the plan of the Great National Organization— - ( loud cries of
" Yea , yes , yes" ) . How far are you disposed to do this unflinching friend of the millions , that honour he has bo richly earned by his conduct in the House of Commons ; hold up your hands—( every hand in the vast assembly wag iin an instant uplifted , followed with the most enthusiastic cheering ) . Mr . Mason resumed : That scene was worthy of the farfamed character cf the men and women of Birmingham : The affections of our hearts are the only honours we can bestow ; but . they are pure—they are unpurohasaple by the gold of tyrants—( loud cbeers ) . Mr . M . continued to apeak at great length , and was loudly applauded . He concluded by moving the following addr . 63 , and retired amid the applause of the whole meeting : —
TO T . ATTWOOD , ESQ . The Address 0 / the People of Birmingham in Public Metling assembled . Sir , —Having learnt your intention of agate devoting your services to the cause of the people ; and animated with a sincere desire to rescue our country from the impending calamitirs which now threaten tbe happiness and fortunes « f every class in British society ; we have felt it onr duty , honestly and uprightly , to assure yon , that if it is your flesign again to stand forth as the advocate of those great and inviolable principles of political justice embodied in the People ' s Charter , with a clear recognition cf that sacred document as the only basis of a just and legitimate Government , we shall hail your return to public life with enthusiasm and gratification . No ungenerous reflection on the past shall obstruct your sew exertions , or weaken their influence , provided they are consecrated with the humanity and sincerity of a real patriot
But , sir , -ore will not conceive that 70 a , though silent for these several years , ] and retired from the sacred struggle for national liberty , have been an idle spectator of the progress of eyents , er the new circumstances which now distinguish the character , desires , and condition of the working class from that of any other period in tbe history of our country . It Is essential to the qualification of a reformer , that he should be enabled to esUmaWtsorrectiy the disposition of those for whose welfare and . freedom he is aaxifas to render his services . And with this view do we now respectfully and honourably state our sentiments , that yon the
may judge how far yon ] are prepared to promote success of that measure of national and individual justice , Tiz . the People ' s Charter—a measure that you bare declared would save the coRntry , and which wo cannot contemplate yon will ever abandon , or attempt to supersede , by aoyf other movement—the only measure , indeed , -which can avert the calamities we are doomed to endure—the enly measure , wa solemnly assure you , that can in any form distinguish us from the most abject slaves , or rescue the various industrious classes in society-who may yet possess awns degree of property firom a similar fete .

If they embrace lie Charter as the grand object of your labouni , - we ^« ihaH welcome , with pleasure , your return to the glonous moral straggle 1 for Equal rights , Bgnal Laws , Equal Protection for the poor Iman's labour as the rich man ' s palace . But if yon , have excluded that measure yoq have excluded us : and however we may not d «* l » to impugn your motives , vWe trust that not « ne intelli g ent { working man will countenance any movement which does not clearly and distinctly aim at securing him tha fullest possession of hiB rights as a member of society . At the altara of our unhappy homes we have vowed our determination to free out country , agiaastablish her prosperity on the justlco sad purity *! V » t inBtitntions—uMtitutions thafwiU deal to all with ^ qual hand the blessing * of Projldenoo and Bcionce . t \ ¦
You have now before yon , with others equally distinguished by great effoTta in the cause of civil reformation , a glorious or an ignoble destiny to fulfil The prospect is maguiflcent , when we contemplate the moral capabilities of the people—it is fearful when we contemplate their condition . A country boundless in her resources , and abounding with ' every species pf wealth—is being ! rapidly harried to anarchy and ruin by desperate statesmen . A people the most intelligent ingenuous , and laborious of any nation on earth , deprived of their most sacred rights—stand naked and defenceless before their , tyrant rulers , demanding justice , which they ! have resolved to achieve . The middle
classes involved in difficulty , and hourly sinking in ruin , declare that a change mnst be effected to save us ; -while Ireland , i although her millions : are lesa intelligent than the people of England , have erected a moral standard , that the armed legions of British despotism dare not strike . | You have , therefore , but one just cause worthy the character of a patriot , via ., that your grand object is to give justice to the enslaved millions as ths only means of obtaining prosperity for our country . If you ^ fail to select this course , your expectations , however ; lofty , will vanish on your first appearance before a people devoted to the salvation of their families and country .
Accept then . Sir , this honourable invitation from a public meeting of your fellow-townsmen . We value and esteem those : who are struggling in our cause . We shall hail with pride your return to iis support ; bnt whatever may bejthe result our victory ia certain . And that period is n&t distant when events will render the legislative Organisation of our rights aa necessary to the safety and happiness of the middle class -as they are now to us . i * Mr . Walter Cooper having seconded it , observed that he felt great pleasure in [ witnessing so large a meeting , and still more ia beholding the manner they had received the clear and able exposition of principles contained in the address which had just been read—( hear , hear ) , i Mr . Attwood
would now understand what the public of Birmingham meant—( hear , hear ) . If his plans did not come up to groat principles it was of no avail his attempting to make af new move—( loud cheers ) . Mr . C . ¦ having Bpoke at'considerable length , during which he was much applauded , retired , declaring his determination never to desert the Charter—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Saunders rose in the body of hall , and said that he had been studying all day about this address ; and he could tell the meeting that he had never consulted any one , bat he had an amendment , which he would propose . It was to the following effect : "That while that meeting was anxions to witness any desire on the part of the middle classes to co-operate with the working
class to obtain tho Charter ; yet from the base coaductof maoy individuals of that olasa , to the people , they would defer Bendinjt any address Boliciting Mr . At wood ' s assistance until they knew what were his plans . " Mr . Richardson seconded it . Mr . Chiltoh supported it . He repudiated any . attempt to conciliate the middle olass . They would never get their rights from thai class unless they took them . What was Daniel 6 'CopnelTs moral force humbug ? Would it ever get Ireland her rights ! No ,, ; nor would they ever get their rights in England with moral force alono . The Chairman then put tho amendment , about twelve hands were held up . He then put the address , which jwas carried amid the greatest applause , ever v hand in the vast assembly being held
up with the above exceptions . Mr . Mason , Mr . Follows , Mr . Fu 38 ell , and Mr . Potts were then appointed the deputation ; the report to be given in next Tuesday evening , after the lecture . A vote of thanks having been given to the ' Chairman , this great and important meeting dispersed . DUBLIN . —The Irish Universal Suffrage Association held its weekly meeting as usual on Sunday last , Mr . Woodward in the chair . Various commnnications were read and several members admitted . Amongst the letters read was one from Mr . Watson , of Water-lane , which was highly applauded . The order of the day was then called for Mr . Dyott ' s motion on the jnew vagary of Mti O * ConTiell regarding the franchise . Mr . Dyott then , in a very
maBterly speecb > Bbewed up the zi ^ ' -zag course pursued by the leader of the Imh people as regarded the franchise , t He said the consideration of Mr . O'Connell ' e devious coarse , obvious inconsistencies , and glaring absurdities , called up a mixed feeling of melancholy and ] mirth . The tnanhooe-suffrajze for instance ; and now the wt / s-suffragei were sufficient to provoke the smile of a stoic But it was melancholy to think [ that any portion of an intelligent nation conld be trifled with in mveh a manner with impunity —( hear ) . It was a remarkable fact , however , to find on referring to the meetings at which the " Liberator" put forth his last foolish proposition , by which a politibal interdict , was laid on all bachelors ( and of course the Catholic clergy were included ) ,
that Pat , though he did not dare to contradict , refused to cheer |~( hear ) \ —and he ( Mr . D . ) had no doubt the day was fast approaohipg , when the poor men throughout ! Ireland would perceive , as plainly as those in that room whom he was now addressing , that in the franchise being extended to all who wore the form and possessed the reason of man , depended the redemption ; of the masses from the cruel and withering curse of class legislation . ( Cheers . ) Mr . O'Connell , at the passing of the Catholic Relief Bill , accused Ministers of meanly legislating against an individual , because they introduced ; a clause which sent him to Clare to be re-elected . Now , he ( Mr . Dyott ) accused Mr . O'Connell of legislating against an individual injthe present instance . / He knew that
Mr . O'Higgins was unmarried ; he hated Mr . G'Higgins ; and in order to disfranchise his political opponent , he proscribed the whole class—the bachelors , to which he belonged . ( Hear , laughter , and cheers . ) Tbis was like the conduct of Herod , who in order to destroy an infant gave orders that every innocent in Judea should bo slaughtered . ( Hear , hear . ) Or it was like the conduct of " the modern Moses , " who , imitating Joshua ' s conduct towards Achan , shut out the entire people of Ahascragh from the rights of citizenship and the honours of patriotism , because a few of the more imprudent had erred—no , had not erred—had only been too zealous in a righteous canse . ( Hear , and cheers- ) It was like the conduct of a great and ! talented leader of a generous and
mighty people , | who , not-withstanding b » - majestic abilities , history would describe as being so completely under the mastery of his own baneful passions , that he repudiated tho proffered aid of a friendly nation , because that nation had placed confidence in one who had been honest enough to differ from him , and courageous ] enough to tell it . ( Hear . ) Yes ! the reasoa why the assistance of the devoted Chartists of t England was with contumely refused , was jbeoause they had ! glorified the man whom Mr . O'Connell would have abased on account Of his dangerous abilities , and still more dangerous integrity ! He would tell them he meant the indomitable and as yet unimpeachable Feabgus OConkor—( loud cheers ) . Mr . Dyott concluded by submitting the following resolution : —Resolved , — "That-the Irish Univertal Suffrage Association has Bfcen with surprise and regret various tests
proposed fcr thej electoral franchise ; by t « e influential individual who has obtained the high-sounding title of ' Ireland ' s Liberator . ' That amoflgst those may be enumensted I the fiuffrage from manhood v the suffrage f « m being possessed of a house ; the-suffrage from being possessed of a wife ! ; That the firstnamed , ' jsanhopd sufflwge / fairly and literally con * etrued , wtuld make . the invariable ; and not-easily ascertained attainment of virility , the period of enfranobisenent ; land as that always takesplaoe long before tb * age ] of twenty , it vfould entirely go beyond tie views of this Association , ; who think the maturity settled-by law for the managing a man's private afairs , the most rational period for entering on the iutiea of citizenship . That if the phrase ' manhoot suffrage * be only a substitute for Universal Suffrage , this Association regrets that Mr . O'Connell should have adopted a term so equivocal , an idea s * fluctuating and undefined ^ That in the

proposition for Household Suffrage , ' this Association can only recognise an attempt to uphold the odious sordid aristocracy of wealth , and a desire to perpetuate the class legislation already denounced on all sides as the bane of these countries . That the more recent , new-fangled , and ludicrous proposition to give the vote only to married men , this Association can only conceive to be a fantastical whim , to see how far the passive acquiescence of the unthinking portion of the Irish nation could be relied on . That this Association , ia contradistinction to the miserable shifts , quibbles , and inconsistencies of those who still cling to partial and wealth-created privilege , assert most emphatically the natural and undeniable right of every man , married ! or , unmarried , who shall
have attained the age of twenty-one years , without having committed felonious crime , and who sha l be of sane mind and understanding , to a vote in the ohoica of those who are to [ make the laws under which he shall live , and who are so assess the taxes tOjWhich he must contribute ; J and that this Association reiterate their determination to stand by their English Chartist brethren till the glorious document entitled the People ' s Charter j shall become the law of the land . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Brierly , and unanimously passed . Several Repealers were in the room , whoj seemed unable to offer any plausible opposition , though men of considerable ability , md fervently altaks&ed ; to limt " pirty . Mr . O'Hfgelns delivered an animated address oh
the gallantry and strong | attachment to real liberty evinced by the' people of England , who by adopting Chartism (( which included Repeal ) as their political creed , had rendered it impracticable for the minister to call out tbe English militia , which had alone ] saved the Irish nation from coercion . If the Corn Exchange Association , possessed one spark of generosity of freemen , they would have acknowledged th ' e virtue of those noble Englishmen , and publicly thanked them ; instead of outraging public patience by attempting to conciliate a handful of hopeless Northern bigots , who had contemptuously rejected their advances , and sent back Mr . Ray ' s drum with shrewd hints that it was a hollow overture to amity—{( laughter and cheers ) . Mr . O'Higgins concluded by announcing that he would , on next Sunday , brine the banking system
under the observation of tho Association , and prove to them that it was a system inimical to the interests of the working classes , calculated to raise prices and depresa wages . After some other remarks from various individuals , the Chair was vacated by Mr . Woodward . Mr , Brierly was called thereto , and thanks being returned Mr . Woodward , the assembly broke up . I COVENTRY . —At the usual weekly meeting of tho Coventry Chartists in their room , Well-street , on Monday night , the following resolution was unanimously passed : — "That j we highly approve of the National Conference to establish a sound and efficient Organization of thejwhole Chartist body ; that we approve of Birmingham , as the most central and best place , and the 5 th of September most preferable , as there will be more time for each locality to make their arrangements . " ]
DUMFRIES -Open Ai » Meetings— -These gatherings which had fallen ! into disuetude , were re-commenced this evening ( August 7 , ) in the old place , the Square , in wtiioh four hiring market is held | and a capital beginning it was . Mr . Andrew Wardrop , in his wonted sarcastic and withal able manner , exposed the doings , ifj we may be pardoned the bull , of the "do-nothing Parliament . ' * Mr . W . "began at the beginning "—the entree of the great Tarn worth quack , with his medicine chest under his aim , containing the panacea which was to cure our national ills ; but when opened displayed only a
measure ox " tree trade' thatjhas involved the agricultural in the ruin previously ] confined to the manufacturing districts ; and an Arms' Bill for Ireland . After going over and commencing upon almost every topic of interest ia the proceedings in St . Stephen ' s during the present session , he j wound up bis address by pointing to the onl y and effectual remedy for evils numberless ; and having announced bis intention . of bringing forward the question | of Repeal next Monday evening , the meeting separated , but not until three hearty cheers for the dear old Charter had caused the Welkin to ring again .
