THE NEWPORT CONVICTS,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I, a country Chartist, have just read the letter in
your Paper of Jan. 19, of a London Chartist. Whether in
town or country, Chartists are all one as to " the Charter ;"
in all other matters they may differ, as heads and faces
differ. I agree with my London brother so far as thinking
that poor Frost suffered rather for the headlong folly of
some of our brother Chartists than for his own ; but I dis-
agree with my brother in his opinion of the Whig Ministry,
whom I deem far more worthy of Frost's punishment, for
having prosecuted him,than was Frost himself. In the case of
Frost and his companions, law and a jury weigh as nothing
in my mind. Ino more believe that Frost sought to take
and ransack Newport, than I believe it to be the Whig
Ministers' determination to keep their places, though at the
imminent hazard of the Crown—which I do not at all be-
lieve, despite my low opinion of them ; or than I believe
that the design of the great meeting at Leeds on this day
is to throw all the country into confusion, and, if possible,
at least to annihilate the bread-taxing landlords. A jury
of Tories would no doubt bring all the principals of that
meeting in guilty, if the principals used such language as
you, to your high honour, have been continually using, and
if the Attorney-General prosecuted for sedition: Frost
mean to dethrone the Queen, or to take Newport !
All Chartists whom I know scorn and scout the
thought. But the prosecuting Whig Attorney-General
would have it so; and the jury would have it so; and the
most ridiculous law in the world for all things but its hor-
rible penalties, would have it so ; and the present corrupt
state of the franchise, allowing no unbiassed jury of their
peers to the masses, would have it so; and thus, in my
own most sincere belief, and in the utterly immoveable
conviction, I am certain, of the masses, poor Frost was
basely condemned to death, and reprieved to what was,
probably, at the time, worse to him than death, and has
been transported to a convict settlement by a Government
deaf to the supplication of a million and a quarter of the
people, backed, as they were believed, and known by them-
selves to be, by far greater numbers 1 I cannot, therefore,
join my London brother Chartist in thanking the Whigs
for what they have done—on the contrary, I execrate
them ; yet will I give them my aid in keeping the Tories
out, and from my soul will I thank them, and ever with
all my might will I labour to keep them in, if they will
restore Frost, and striver honestly and their best to abolish
the accursed Corn-laws, and to make every honest Eng-
lishman, Irishman, and Scotchman in the United Empire
free, by securing to him a free and unembarrassed vote in
the Government of the country.
I remain, Sir, a cordial lover of par principles and con-
du et, 502h1.0 neatly manifeAstf

CHARITABLE CONCERT.—Our readers will
recollect that we stAted in our paper that a grand concert
would shortly take place at the Music Hall for the benefit
of a family in great distress; we are happy to state that it '
will take place on the 3d of Februdy next. The list of
subscribers contains a n umber of highly respectable names,
and we hope the charitable will come forward on the oc-
casion. The concert wit) consist of thirty-eight perfor-
mers, including the ext.:client band of the 4th Royal Irish
Dragoon Guards.—Leeds Times.
