Xathjxiel JIoblisg , BRIGHTON , wishes to actuo-wledge 53 . from the Cbsrtiats of Lewes , for Dr . : MO > ona ] l . CBABiisai is Scotland . — The Nsw Okgamzaxlos A Correspondent in Paisley , writes as follows : — I have jnst read with the most livelj satisfaction the proceedings of the Conference of Chartist Delegates , so far as you have been able to give them ; and wait with snxiety to see the foil Plan of Re-organization which they have adopted , and -which yon have promised to give in . jonx next . Tscagh there -were no delegates present from Scotland , I beg to express a hope that neither yon Borflwrnm or the South will coaclnde that Chartism is dead in the " land o ' cates . " Ha ring read Mr . Hill ' s
letters , ana also those of Mr , Barney , I have no hesitation in giving my testimony to the troth of the statements contained is them regarding the condition in which our csuse stands in Paisley , and oiber places fcoth easi and -west of it . There are few meetings being held ; little or no organization ; no lecturing ; no contributions ; but alorgwith the iron that has entered the son ] , has entered a deep and firmly rooted conviction , that no appliance , no proposed remedy snort of the Charter , is in an ; degree worth one moment ' s consideration , as calculated to remove the marifold oppressions which misrule has long imposed upon the toiling multitude ; which no artifice , so showy parade , no promise from any " party or person , however respectable or konest soever he may be be , can eTer ablactate or destroy . No
" Oars is so seedling chance-strewed by the mountain , In summer to flourish , in winter-to fade . *' Chartism , believe me , is in life , x&d waits only the call to avraken from a moEt refreshing slumber , which will be fonad to have invigorated , strengthened , aad fiven lis-w energies to it , far surpassing what the casual or surface observer , ignorant of oar character , might suppose . Of late , and even at this moment , great and important lessons are being read to the world . Think jon tiat the canny Scot" cannot appreciate these , and ta&e counsel from them ? Bs assured lie has "been and is doing . Id the midst of our distresses , for the long period of eighteen months , and while we were repeatedly lectured on the great advantages that would result from a total and immediate repeal of the Corn laws , it was utterly impossible Tor the . league , even vrh ' en the suffering in this town was at its worst , to get one lecture passed eff with its fallacies unopposed , even when it was deemed by tiaat party , situated as we were , to be the very height of inhumanity .
Tfeis proves something surely for our fixedness of j purpose , and but attachment to the great and giorious principles which we have espoused . j Scotland , Sir , is precisely the very kind of soil on which Chartism , to the best and most lasting advac- j tege , an be made to grow . It may bourgeon more ; slowly than in some other and more genial climes ; it j may-sot appear so pleasant to the eye as where it is to J be seen flagging at every look ; bnt is is , permit me to ' say , more healthy on that very account , and better able ] to stand the blasts as tkey blow across the channel of | adversity from time to time .
Let , then , the full decision of the Conference and the j Plan of Be-organ : » rion to which they have agreei , be ; laid before us . Let us examine it , and digest it ; and , ' if It meets with our approval—which I think it is likely . to do from what we know of it already—you will ! 2 nd that Scotland Trill xally to yonr assistance , and I trust Uiatier conduct in past time is no bod guarantee ' for the future . j P . < & .. TODMOBDE 5 . —His advice to the " Lovers Df , liberty is the Tale of Todmorden * ' is very goed , but j too lengthy lor our columns . We subjoin as extract : "A number of the people ' s delegates have met in J Cenferenee at Birmingham , and have almost unani- i mously adopted the Plan which appeared in the j northern Star from the pen of the Eiitor , very j
recently , Some slight alterations and amendments 1 have been introduced ; but in substance the plan j aiopted is thai above referred to . This Plan con- j sects the land question with the Charter . This you istructed your delegates to oppose ; but a majority , ' of the delegates having decided in favour of tte Plan , j it becomes jour duty to assist in carrying it out . So , ¦ rngTi -who cannot , without sacrifice , subscribe to the ; Land Fund , or who cansoentiously objects to it , is ; compelled to do so . He may , as heretofore , sub- [ scribe only to the General Tuud of the Association . ' . Ass -whole it is an excellent Pisa , and will , I hope , ¦ have your hearty support . 1 trust , then , that yon j who thisk the Charter is the just right of tie people , j will come forward and rally round the >* ew Organiza- >

I- " W . L 05 D 05 , TriB sea that we have no report of -the meeting he describes . One was duly forwarded , tn % not inserted .

ence should -spring up in any locality , it mast be settled by the locality itself . At all events the Star shall not interfere in it Its doing so tends to widen and extend the breach , by filling every body ' s msuth , and setting the whole conntry to canvass a matter , and probably to quarrel ever it , -when it only beloDgs to the locality itself ; and who , were no notice taken of them , would soon , make it up snd be friends , or " agree to differ .

If j any such have been sent , and withheld because - ¦ deemed unimportant , most assuredly it would not I be mentioned in the Notice to Correspondents .

If j they are the letters we have named , we certainly ! cinnot afford them space : for , independent of the j consideration that they are on a subject not gen ' ej rally interesting to the masses , a great portion of j them are in the Welsh language—a language -which 1 we certainly have no idea " of ; and therefore , have I no means of knowing whether the writer is not j indulging in the * rankest of sedition and treason at our expence . This alone would prevent our inserting them .
Hawiltos Grat need be under no fear . It does not necessarily fallow that because -we have been unable or may be unwilling to fi « d room for hia covnmunicatieD , that therefore ' with the change of Eiitor there is to be a change cf principle . " No one in the Northern Star has laboured more than the present conductor of it , to expose the fallacies , and demonstrate the unsoundness , of what are called Free Trade principles . It is net , therefore , likely that we shall note ¦ advise a " yielding to the League . " Ottr " squeamish sensibility" about the manner in which " Hamilton Gray" presents Mr . Swing , may surprise him ; but we fancy that were he in the position of some people ,
made to bears prosecutian for " seditious libel , " with that piosecution followed by sixteen months solitary confinement in a felon ' s cell , he would be surprised still more . It is all very well for such men as , " Hamilton Gray" to write " sternly , " in an assumed name , and get other people' to run the risk of publication ; and it is better still , when those * ' other people" hesitate to be so used by men who say ¦• these arB no times for indolent fear" ( and yet write under assumed names ) for these same men iwith assumed names ) t « pretend that a " change of principle" is involved in such hesitation . " Hamilton Gray" says he does not
like" This cutting out , and cntting in ; Thi » e fear * to lose ; these hopes to win ; Shuffling , and sorting , and concealing , With double games , and much misdealing . " By bII means then let him write in hiB own name , and run hiB own risks ! Moses Simpsos amd Friends , Staffordshire — We would recemmend that Mr . Thomas Starkey lay his case before the Victim Fund Committee , which will no donbt ts appointed in Manchester , is accordance with the recommendation of the Conference at Birmingham . They can consider it ; and would probably deem it one calling for some little aid . The Defence Fund is for another object . It is for the defence of those yet in the toils of the law . From the commnnits . tion of Mr . Roberts to thB
Conference , it seems that there will be little enough in band for that pnrpose ; and , if the whole case should have to come before the fifteen Jndges , there will be far too little . Relief frovi that source , therefore , cannot bs had ; but if Mr . Starkey applies to the Committee we point him to , there is a chance that something may be done for him out of the slender means at their disposal . Caltisus Mixoe can have any of the plates at the . charge of one shilling each ; they can be forwarded at the proper time through the channel he speaks of .
We regret to bear that there is no association in Ayr . "We recommend him to get together some of the active spirits of Chartism immediately , and make arrangements for forming a branch of the Orgaravtion , as soon as the plan given in another part of the paper is duly enrolled . Thomas Faost . —We have perused his letter with deep interest , and regret that so sensible and wellwntten an address cannot appear in our columns ; our only reason for declining its insertion is " want of room ; " if T . F . would bring his sentiments before the public , he must compress them into smaller
compass . H . CRorcH —Both notices are right : a shilling is charged for the plate , and fourpence for the postage . Sixteen post-stamps will ensure the sending of the plate per post , pre-paid . SI Jk > CHESTER ~ SOVSG NXX ' S j&SSOCJATIOX—We have no room for their address in full ; here is the piii : — " Brothers , yon will kvave shortly an opportunity of showing your desire for freedom . The men of Manchester intend having a grand demonstration in the month of October , in honour of T . S . Duncombe , Enq , M J . We trust that , on that day , the young men ef the surrounding districts will attend in their countless thousands to welcome the man who has so nobly battled for the Tights of the

We request the young men of Lancashire to send delegates to the meeting , to be held in the Brown-street room , ou the 27 th of the present month , so that proper arrangements may be made to make the demonstration worthy of Lancv ¦ shire , and worthy of eur glorious cause ?

That announcement went through all the editions of tile paper for that week ; and we are surprised that it can have escaped R .
Brook a observation . The insertion of that announcement shews that " we do consider what comes from Todmorden to be worthy of spsoe in theSlar ;'' and we will tell Mr .

Pbo gbess of the Cause , and Be ceptio ^ the 2 i £ W Pla >\—From Mr . D ; vid Ross , the talented , and prudt-nt Chartist leclurer , we have received the following : — Dear Sir , —I find the good friends of democracy he : e are gaining ground every day . On Sunday last , upon my arrival , I found npwards of thirty of my good friends , who bad travelled from Keighley in order to spend the day in the cause of democracy . Tbis is as it should be ; it proves that we are interested in each others welfare , and not above showing it . Oa Monday 1 delivered two lectures , and ( as the stagers bave ii . j drew crowded houses on both occasions . L : ist nigbX I dwelt upon the new Plan at O .-gali- ' Ei ' - ioa . and 1 never found a tslter feeling pervade a meetirg at any previous time .
I think it wcuid very much tend to the advancement of our principles , if you wonld print the New Plan in a circular , or pamphlet form , many thousands would theD obtain it , wbo are now , alas ! too poor to purchase s S \ ir . and it is important that the world should be apprised of onr future intentions , for not a few of our ent-mirs will be asto .-.: sbed when they find , despite our treasonable pi opexsilies that we have at last wrested from ib- bar'ds of our epemies all the protection that the la-ss of onr country in this instance can afford .
By a reference to the Plan itself , it will be seen that Chapter XIY . provides that the laws and rules shall be published in a separate form , so tbat each number of tte society may have a copy . As soon ss the laws are enrolled , thiB will 1 » j attended to . The rnlea will be brought out in a seat , cheap , and portab ' -e fi-rm . We contemplate also s Hand Boole or Manual , giving full and ample instructions for the due working of every portion of tfle Organization . Whether this be done or not , it ib certain tbat the Laws and Rales will be orinttd in a portable farm .

My Dear Friends , —In my short letter to you from Glasgow , I mentioned some things in which it was my purpose thereafter to speak with you more at large . I told you that 1 had then lying by me an article from the Times newspaper , -which afforded arguments for the Organization of the people more cogent and copelaslve than ptrhaps any that I Jave yet seen submitted to you from any quarter . Here it is . It is taKen from tho leading columns of the
Times newspaper x > f the 4 th of August . Its immediate point of reference is to the " Rebecca" movement in Wales , ¦ while its reasoning shews that tbe enemy fear nothing so much as the cool prudence , the intelligent inquiry , and peaceful , quiet , " systematized , " organized onward movement of the public mind . Just in proportion to the amount of bluster and noise , and violence , and physical destructiveness which they evince , are the " agitators" of the public voted harmless —( and often indeed useful)—by the factions . But how ! let the Times speak : —
One remarkable and very consolatory feature in the Welsh movement hitherto , has been the entiro absence of political character in its professed efforts and aims . Much as any series of disturbance and violations of law is to be blamed and regretted , mere disturbance—mere matter-of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not what excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman . It Is when that disorder begins to reason and systematisewhen it appeals to broad principles and deep foundations , that it becomes really ominous aDd formidable in the politician ' s eye . Discontent then becomes disaffection , and disorder revolution . The Welsh rioters have kept clear of these dangerous assnmptions , and confined themselves to particular definite grievances ; and therefore it is , we presume , that they
have obtained no patronage from tbe Liberals in this country . Had they vapoured avout the origin of society , the rights of man , and tho social compact , instead of attacking toll-gates , the Rebeccaites would doubtless have obtained the applauding sympathies of Mr . Hume and Mr . T . Duncombe . Aa it is , these and other worthies of the Liberal school seem , bv their silence , to have v » ted the Rebecca movement a ' slow' affair , undeserving their attention ; and the mouth that would have been wide open , declaiming against the oppression of country squires and magisterial autocrats , had no tangible or accessible grievances been shewn , are shut when a real case is made out and proved , as we conceive it is now , by the poor and dependant , against the rich and ruling class .
We Bincerely hope the Welch poor will continue unconnected , as they now are , with the Radical theories , and vulgar politics of the day . So long as they are clear of such connection , they will have the sympathies of all respectable people with them , so far as regards their intelligible rightful claims . Mourn as we must over the downfall of so much timberwork as has taken place within the last week or two , and little as we like the ironioal female habit , and the Jewish nomenclature of these certainly not very feminine or delicate movers , we had rather see them acting their grim farce than talking Chartu-m . We prefer Mi 83 Rsbecca to Miss Mary Ann Walker . Do not philosophies , do not speechify , do not prate , we would tell them , but stick to your
foils and market dues . Do not mount upon stilts , do not be carried away by demagogues , do not make your cause , which is at present a most clear , intelligible , matter of fact one , a seditious theory , hairbrained seDtilmentalism- At the same time , we would beg 10 remind the Magistrates of Carmarthenshire , the turnpike trustees , tho learned Government Commissioner ( Mr . Hall ) , or whomever else it may concern , that these grotesque exhibitions will certainly end in something further , if redress is not actively and conscientiously looked to . llobscca will doff her bonnet for the cap of liberty , and take to more offensive weapons than the mallet or crowbar , if something is not soon done . We are happy to tee that some of the trustees of turnpikes are already beginning the work of clearance , are opening
the roads , and facilitating access to the market towns . These and the like remedies are politic , and absolutely necessary . If they are applied immediately , they may save a population from becoming the victims of revolutionary oratory . Wait , procrastinate a little , and you will have embassies irom the Political Unions , the Reform Associations , and the Operative Clnb , deputies from Manchester and Birmingham , nay , and Repealers from Ireland , Yankees , Frenchmen—the whole kit of them offering their polite service to Rebecca , congratulating her on her bold achievements , and gently initiating her into ill the mysteries and freemasonry of the Radical cause . The Welsh people are not so far gone as yet , we believe , but that zeal , tact , and good feeling combined may bring them round agsin . But if nothing is done , people are driven into Chartism . "
Here you have the whole matter " put" very hoDeatly , and very simply . Outrage , disturbance , and disorder ; destruction of property , " mere matter ' of-fact disorderly conduct amongst a poor population , is not what excites the alarm and apprehension of the statesman . '" . No ,. no . Thera is always enough offeree—organized force—at the command of " the Statesman" to enable him to deal with " mere matter-of fact disturbance . " It is when the " poor population" begins to inquire into tho why 1 the how ? and the wherefore 1—when it " reasons "when it " appeals to broad principles , and deep foundations" —and most especially , when , after the reasoning and the appealing to broad principles and deep foundations , has begotten e ' ear conceptions of
effects and causes , it begins to ** systematise , " that its operations " become really ominous and formidable ia the politician ' s eye . " " Discontent then becomes T > is ± TPEcmoy , snd disorder bevolutiow" J Yes ; yeB ; Mother Times ! We know all about it . And , thank God , the people are beginning to know all about it . They are beginning to understand and practice the lesson 1 have been dinging into them this dozen of years past—that their power is in their intelligence which enab ' . esthem to " reason , " to" appeal to broad principles and deep foundations " , and to " systematizs " , to arrange , and bring into a focus , their moral energies . A peaceful appeal to
principle ; a consistent exhibition of principle , * a steady perseverance in principle , whenever exhibited , always "excites the alarm and apprehension" of the statesmen who live by public plunder , and whose interests are bound up with those of the robber classes . While the peopla can be kept-in that state which limits their exertions for the removal of oppression to " mere matter-of-faci disturbance" — to mere destruction of property and physical violence , they may be always used as tools in the hands of the middle classes to work out their purposes , and laid by , or destroyed , as soon as tio&e purposes are served .
The " higher" classes are always as ready to beat down the middle classes as the middle men are to trample on the labourers . The landlords are always willing 10 extract as much rent—tho parsons to exact as much tithe and church-rate , and the jobbers of all sorts lay on every kind of impost which can and will be borne as heavily , as they each can . These in their direst influence fall upon the middle classes ; thouuh the poor labourers pay for all in the long run ; because , though having neither cans , horses , beasts of harden , nor lands , they are not liable to pay tolls , tithes , nor church rates , and
not much amount of rent , yet their libour it is , out of which all these very payments are made by the middle men , and without which they would not be made at all . The payment , of these Beveral imposts is first made a pretext for bringing down their wages to starvation-point ; and then , when this has been accomplished , the middlemen begin to consider how they &hall get rid o » the payments and pocket the money . This is just the whole matter now at issue in tbe t % Rebecca movement , " as the riots in Wales are termed . 1 have long since , in the Northern Star , warned you that this was a middle-class movement for the fcftVctinic
of the purposes and the serving of the interests ot those ciabses by the exertions and at the sole cost of ihe working men who may be fools enough to aid in it . 1 told you tbat the labour of pulling down the toll bars , the harrassment of these nocturnal excursions , the risk of being shot by the military on the spot , and the reward of being imprisoned , trsnu ported , or hanged , when their work was done , was all that the working men would bo allowed to get from this " movement "—while the middle men would get rid cf many of the impostB they complain of , not only without mending the condition of the labourers one bit , bat that they would be the first to transport and hang them out of the way . I see nothing yet but confirmations of this view of it .
I have read carefully the article " Rebecca Movement" in last week ' s Star : I have noted especially all that ia said by " Our oicn Correspondent" I find it all of the same cast ; tolls , tithes , and rents are the burden of the song . Something is said about "fixity oi tenure" for the farmers , but nothing about land for the labourers . A great deal is f aid about the cryiag « vil of high rents , and heavy tithes and tolls , but not & word of any purpose to apply a Bingl » farthing of tbe moaey which now goes for theso purposes to the increase of wages . There is something , to be snre , said about the New Poor Law , and that seems to be a poor man's question ; but thero are two BKe * to thai question ; and the Star's corregpOLcleBt

" Tho Times knows perfectly that if onco the peopla be 'driven into Chartism , " they w . ll soon make the discovery that it is a matter of no consequence at all to them whether the farmers pay much or little of rent , and tithe , and rates , and tolla They wiU then look to higher sources of universal mischief , and to the appropriation of the rents , taxes , rates , tithes , and tolls bo paid and levied . Hence the politic fear of the Times that the people should "begin to reason , " and to " appeal to broad principles and deeo foundations . " The
Jtmes knows perfectly that whenever the psople do this , generally , the "foundations" of class rule , and class robbery consequent on class rule , must speedily give way . Hence his fear of the " embassies from Political Unions , Reform Associations , and Operatrre Clubs , " and of the deputies from Birmingham and Manchester . M Philosophizing , " " reasoning , " systematizing , " " appealing to broad principles and deep foundations , " talking of " the rights of man , and the " social compact , " plays the very deuce with factions . It " puts the cat amongst the pigeons' with a vengeance ! And hence the difference in tone assumed by the Times , and other newspapers in , reference to the riotsarsonsand
, , destructions of property in Wales , and the peaceful movement of the Chartists , who were induced to join the strik « movement last year . They " appealed to broad principles and deep foundations" — they appealed to common sense , to " the rights of mam , " and to the " social compact" ; they destroyed no property , but they said " these are ' broad principles' of general right which we wish to see established for the protection of our own property . We do not see these broad principles recognised or acted on , and , therefore we are ' discontented and cannot but feel * disaffected' to ib . 8 system which robd us of the proceeds of our labour .

" As they havo always hitherto had , so they always will hereafter have , merely the hangings , transportings , and imprisonings for their share of the benefits reulting from such revolutions . But I trust that they will also have a deeper leston than this from it . It soarcely needed this excellent article from the Times to teach them this lesson now . I trust they will see from this fair statement of the character of '
the " Rebecoa" movement and of the Timesreasons for sympathising with the Ribeccaites , the necessity for that Organization which , though its importance is self-evident , they have never yet had . How piteous it is to see poor men—honest menworking men—fooled by the middle classes into these " mere matter-of-fact disturbances " , for want of that knowledge of their own right , of " the rights of man " , and of ?• the social compact" which might enable them to ' * appeal to broad principles and deep foundations" 1 They cannot have that knowledge , save from " the embassies " , " the deputies" from Birmingham and from other places ; and they cannot havo these , because no efficient organization exists by whioh missionary enterprizs can be called into active and extensive requisition . Was I not right , then , in saying that this article afforded most powerful arguments for a National Organization of the whole people for these objects I
I have read carefully the report in the last Star of the doings of the delegates at Birmingham . I wait anxiously the appearance of their plan . And , in reference to that plau , let me ,-before is comes , say one word to all thoae who attach value to my thoughts snd counsels . It is scarcely probable that it will meet every one ' s approbation . There m&y likely enough be some things in it which some may think had been better otherwise ; but if it have but two great qualities which are indispcnsible ; if it be perfectly legal ; and if it be at all workable , —for Heaven ' s sake let qb have no bickerings about trifles ; but let it be at onoeadop'ed and let it be brought into vigorous and universal play . Let no man who named the name of Chartism dare to make
his own crotchets a stumbling block in the way of our onward progress ; and if any man do so , out of the ship with him as a piece of vermin ; overboard with him at once , before he have time to do mischief . There can be but one opinion upon the necessity of our having some Plan of Organization possessing the two requisites I have named—legality and workableness—ail others are minor considerations , and nohe but an enemy would seek to divide us upon them . Any minor imperfection miy be either guarded against in the working of it or remedied hereafter ; but now is not the time to stickle on them . Legal it must be ; readily workable it must bo ; beyond thi 3 ,
while every man has a clear right to commont on it —ta shew what he thinks to be its' defects , if any , and where he thinks it capable of improvement , no man who wishes well to the movement has any right to offer one jot ; of obstruction to its adoption or operation because of the objections he may have to particular por . ions of it . He who does so , whatever he may pretend to be , or whatever ho may think himself , I think to he no true Chartist . I am , a . 3 ever , Your faithful friend and servant , William Hill . Hull , Wednesday , Sept . 13 , 1813 .
P . S . I learn from several private letters , that my friends in the Newcastle district are much disappointed at my not visiting them on my return from Scotland as first arranged . I regret , but could not help the disappointment . When my arrangements for my lato tour were made I had no conception of the " change" which was to come over my own position and affairs ; this change brought into operation circumstances wich compelled me to get back to Hull a week or two sooner than I purposed . I trust this Will satisfy my friends that I did not " pass by" them from any waut of courteous feeling . They do not know the difficulties of my position just
now . I must remain here for a short time . I am making arrangements which will enable me to go through the whole country , if required , after that time . Newcastle , Shields , Sunderland , and Carlisle , end all that district shall havo my first attention when I move . I shall take them on my way back to Scotland an&in . I will take care to give notice of my coming ; and when I return again from Scot " land , I shall be at liberty to attend to any invitation I may have received to any part of England . I wish in the meantime to hear from good men and true all over , that I may know " how things are . " All letters direoted to me at Hull will find me . W . II .

10 THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —In the NorthemiSlar of last week , there is an article headed Complete Suffrage Lie , containing an attack on some observations of mine , made at the late Leicester meeting , which requires some explanation from me . I found that reports injurious to Mr . O'Connor and Mr . S ^ urge ' d Committee , were in circulation , to tho eff ot that the former was engaged by ihe latter , au < i that £ 28 was paid for O' JonaorV services at tho Noningtiani election . Although I had given a public concraidiccioa to this , the public press which inserted the calumny , did not insert the denial with oae or two exceptions ; and I heard the matter named in us most off-3 usive form on the day of tho meenfiir . I took that occasion to ropeat what I had } previously stated in my public letter—the wholfi of whioh was perfectly true , aud quite in accordance with what wai
published by mo immediately after the election , in the British Statesman —That Mr . O Connor ' s services were perfectly voluntary , and was given with a distinct delaration ] on his part that he would 110 C receive any reward Jor hm services—not even repayment of his travelling expences . That Mr . O'Connor ' s services wveie reco ^ ni ^ ed by ihe eommittee , and appoint merits made by them , and correspondence eiitered into with him , has nothing at all to do with 'hefact I stated ; which referred to O'Cmnor ' s first offirof assistance , which was uninvited aud unexpected : for from the manner in which he he had spoke of Mr . Siurge and his movement , it could not have been expected that he would have come forward at tho elecuoa . I havealway 3 said that this conduct on his part was honourable , and 1 can prove mat , his first speech in Nottingham fully bears out all 1 have ever said on this subject . !
As to the £ 27 10 s . paid by Mr . O'Connor to some of " his brigade , " ( to use his own expression . ) I never named it until waited upon by O'Connor ' s friends , in orderto disprove the calumny of the Times I felt it my duty to do thid when iuvited by them to do so , and did not think it out of place when I found it current in Leicester . I did not speak of it as involving the slightest disparagement to any party . ; Mr . Feargus O'Connor has taken , the liberty of speaking of me as the paid Secretary of the committee . There is no termjsuifieiently strong , even in Mr . O'Conner's elegant / vocabulary , to designate this enormous falsehood . ; It is unfortunately characteristic of its author . I never received even the
value of one shilling , either directly or indirectly , for any services in that election—in fact never received any reward for any i public service . It ia well known to many that ] I havo injured my prospects in life , and my business by the part 1 took ; but have never had any reward , either by money or interest ; and I have no ; hesitation in stating my conviction , that O'Connor knew this to be false when he stated it . As I ( Jo not think it necessary to imitate his example , by going into a court of law , to vindicate myself 'from charges like these , I merely call upon him to substantiate or retrace
it . One be cannot do ; and he has not the magnanimity to do the others Therefore , I can only pity the man , whose reckless temper and fierce passion will not allow him to view his fading influence amongst the people with batter feelings than that of tho bitterest animosity against all who may differ from him ia opinion , lu any allusion to the events of that election , I have had no other wish than to do the fullest justice to all parties concerned . > Your ' s , very respectfully , ! Thomas Beggs . Worcester , Sept . 13 , 1843 .
[ Wehavev with all readiness , given insertion to this explanation ; though had we imitated the example set us by the organs of Mr . Beggs's party , we should just have con tented ! ourselves with misrepresenting him , and then have left him to make his best uf it . He himself says , that " [ the public press which inserted the calumny , " —that which gave rise to all that has beeu since said and done — " did not insert the denial . '' Let us ask Mr . Beggs , did even the " Sturgeite" papers do this t Did the Nonconformist ? Did the Leeds Times , the' Bradford Observer , the Leicester Chronicle , or atiy other of Mr . Beggs ' s mouth-pieces ? How had we meted out the justice to Mr . Beggs that his friends have meted out to us , we should not hare inserted his contradiction to what now appears to hare been an unfounded
allegation . Not long ago tbe Nonconformist came out with a most cold-blooded : rascally attack on tho character of Mr . O'Connor ;; aa attack more attrocious and saintly than any that ever disgraced any portion of the English j press ; and that is saying a great deal . To that attack we gave such an effective and conclusive answer , that tho Nonconformist , who had promised to return to the onslaught , has been silent ever since , as far as his own fultninations have been concerned . But did he insert the answer 1 Not he indeed ! And while the attack was duly chronicled in every Complete Suffrage Whiffter throughout the land , not j one of them had the fairness to give currency to ; the answer , or even to note the fact that we had driven the antagonist from the field . Such is the sense of justice that actuates Mr . Beegs's / nend * .
Mr . Beggs says , " ho does not think it necessary to go into a court of law to vindicate himself from such charges , " &o . He has no need . Justice is afforded him without . He has asked us to afford him the opportunity to explain that a representation that he had been paid for his electioneering services , inserted in our columns , was unfounded . We have given it to him . Would his own friends have done so , had he been a Chartist % Did they do so in the case of Mr . O'Connor , when they had charged him with theft and fraud ? Mr . Beggs has himself snewh that they did not
and would not . It was therefore necessary , in that case , to " go into a court" ; for when the verdict was given that jtheir lies were libellous , then they did insert the contradiction , but not before . They did to compulsion , for fear of consequences , what they could not afford to do to love ot justice . We , on the contrary , can afford to allow Mr . Baggs to state his own case ; nay even to advertise his sacrifices and his own self-devotion ; and , withal , to have a fling at Mr . O'Connor's " fading influence . " Therefore he may well say ] " he does not think it necessary to go into a court to vindicate himself . "
We have thought it proper to mark the difference of conduct pursued by Mr . ! Beggs ' s justice-loving , quiet , cool , philosophic friends towards tho Chartists , with that pursued by us , ofj " reckless temper and fierce passion , " in the ( not jvery strong ) hope that the contrast may ( hame them into a better behaviour for the future . Into the general question , as to the propriety of Mr . Beggs ' s conduot , and that of his associates , at the Nottingham election , we have not entered . We shall leave that for Mr . O'Connor himself . —Ed . N . S ] \
