THE MIDDLE-CLASSES . TO THE EDJTOB OS TBE NORTHERN STAB . Sia , —Tha present time being peculiarl y a season of progression , and cone , iving it to be the duty of ev < ry mm who professes democratic principles to rally round the standard of liberty , to evince his determination to cost off the fetters of siovery , and to strike dowa the iron rule which crushes labour , I need no further apology for trespassing on year space . I would suggest , Sir , tbat the working men of this country profit by the experience taaght tbim by the
receat transactions in Pari < ; ami tbat much as it may be desirable to fraternise with the middle-classes , that nevertheless they ought to bo prepared to depend only on themselves , for I am one of those who have little faith In their promises or professions which are never generously conceded , but are ilther wrung from them by necessity orextoried from them by force . What have the middleclasses of England done for the people since tbe passing of tbe R' . form Bill ? Need I statu how perfidious wero their professions ef sympathy , or how base have been their acta towards the suff .-ring millions for whom they have now no other gifts—save Incieaeed taxation and Gagging Bills ?
Where is their sincerity ?—They say we bold your principles , butyoud * not agitatopolitely enough for us ! Jo eph Hume ' s section would , to prove their love for the peop li > , curtail their claims , and accept mischievous instalments of a debt which they acknowledge to be due , but which they have neither tbe honesty nor the / ourage to demand . Another section would go a little further— . but they cannot associate with the people because they aro not snffici-nly educated ; but those wise men may very possibly be be tter versed in solving problems of cheese parings and brick dust , than in abstruse osculations of political ecohomy , of wbich they profess much but keoiv nothing . Another section busy themselves in trjiug to destroy the Land Finn ; these persons used at OUOtlme to accuse tho people with being too poor to pur " - chase soap to wash tbemsilves ; but now , kind souls , arg growing rich end they express the deepest sympathy isr the seeurlty of their funds , and use all imaginable means to destroy their groning Influence , and to Cast them back into tho gulf out of wbich by their own
exertions they are emerging . Another section enlist themselves as ' Specials , ' to break the people ' s heads for dating to apeak of their wrongs , or presuming to think that such special proceed , ings are disgusting and tyrannical and ought to be suppressed . These are eotno of tbo claimants for popular support , all professing to have the poor man ' s Interest at heart , but In reality aro only so many colls of a serpent twined round the limbs of tbe struggling labourer . The press , too , is tho forked tongue of tbe vile and slippery enemy , which spits Its verom « ith a deadl y motignlty only equalled by its mendacious Iiyprocrisy . I trust tnetn not , sir , end thelpioplo musr , like tbe infant Her . cules , strangle the moo « tir ero it crash them nithin its emor-cn . This can be dene ly only slffip ' j Standing 0 U the d . fensive , and by aco . piing noustiitaiice from tbo middle-cltB ' , as a body , e » o pt it be generously and vo . luntary given and by esiirus . ing no n-tin amongst them with more Influence shun what his ho test services may entitle bim to receive .

IRELAND SINCE THE UNION . TO TBE EDITOR OF TBE NOBTBEBN STAB . Sia , —The accompanying letter , as you will perceive , was written in reply to an article In the Cobistian Witness , oh tbe assumed improved condition of Ire . land , since the Act of Union . ' Feeling that the conclusion was draws from false premises , I felt it to be a duty to endeavour to place the eubjjct in a light by which It might be seen more correctly , and seat the letter , . a copy of which accompanies this , to tha editor of the Witness . Knowing something of tbe editor , I di 1 not ejpsct the least notice would be taken of it , as he is in tbe habit of dogmatising to the public , and in a manner the most arbitrary , refuses admittance intobla different periodicals of anything unfavourable to his own contracted and prejudiced views . And , hs I anticipated , so it happened . On tbo appearance of tho July number Of the magazine , I fauod my letter wan treattd as those
of others have been ~» not even acknowled ged , Frees the subject of my letter possessing but little sympathy with Eoglish editors , tbe editor of the Witness no doubt feels that he may with impunity retail misrepresentation at the rate of two pages for n farthing . But I hope , sir , you will allow the letter a place in your paper , and thus prove that there Is a medium through which the- public may look on both sides of a question . Perhaps tbo editor of the Witness thought my ro . marke too fne , and so felt himself excused for their ixclusion from his pages . I do not think it at all necessary to conciliate an editor in ashing him to In . sert what would tend to rectify tho false Impression produced by his editorship . It should b * claimed as a matter © fright by the public , and conceded as a matter of rightbyblm . Your obedbnt servant , James Tobneb .
TO THE EDITOR CF THE CHRISTIAN WITNESS . Sia , —I know not but It may be doing vlolonco to your notion of moiesty , for an Irishman to ask permission for making a f „ w remark on the articlo in your JuBonumbeP entitled , ( ThS mOUStflr Calumny against England ;' It betrg generally the fashion of the English press , to procUim its decrees on suljecis In connexion wi ' . h Ire-Und without g ' vlng an opportunit y of reply . This may atlso from aa assumption of a perfect ac quaintance with the state of Irish society , and the causes of its distress ; and the person who undertakes ta deny the conclusions to which the conductors of the proas arrive , exposes himself to the charges of' Impudence , ' falsehood , " turpitude , ' & c ., showing an utter recklessness of determination to abide b y their decisions , however unjustly formed . I shall not trouble you with any vindication of Mr O'Conncll , nor shall I undertake to justify the Dublin Corporation for the unwarrantable
exercise ef tbo right of petition , which from henceforth we may presume belongs ixclusively toEuglishmen , as having a parliament th ^ y call their own . But , I hope I may bo allowed to make a few observations , that may correct the impression Intended to be produced by the array of figures lu the article to which 11 efer . Doubt , less , Sir , you have not lived in the world for the many years which numb . r your age , without noticing hotv very easy it ia to fotm different opinions on the same sutjict , and how those opinions are moulded b y tbe In . flaences of prejudice or interest . Mr Martin ' s vleir of r , sh felicity since the union , differs nry widely from that taken by most oth . r Irishmen , who have cot had the bappmon of association with an Irish vlcroy , nor of being complimented b y the sfarquls WdleBloy ; and thus the facts collected b y Mr M 3 r . i 1 , , where viewed in the light of attendant circumstances , may not servo the purposes f : r wfiirh he has written , and you have iiuoted I em .
Ireland Since The Union. To Tbe Editor O...
Let us look at tbe first f ; 0 v , w ! lich 1 ooUb ' ° ' "" posing when backed up by declamation , That defend is made to sustain a loss amount © f tasatlOn ^ In proportion to its population , than England , is a fact ¦ 7 whloh mo 8 t people are acquainted , and scarce admits Of being Unclaimed as some new discovery . But , that thu Involves another fact , tbat Ireland does not bear her shu re taxation in proportion to her resources , remains to be proved . Ought Ireland , without anything tout can be called manufacture , be made to pay taxes on the samo articles , and to tbe same amount as England , with h < r stupendous power of producing manufactured goods ! There can bo no difficulty In anticipating the reply , which an honest Impartial mind would return . In the
levying ef taxes are there no circumstances to te considered , but simply the orea of a country , and tbe number of Inhabitants t And would It be just to tax each inhabitant of Ireland In the same amount as each inhabitant of England , where in one manufacture alone , that of cotton , It Is estimated that capital to the amount of £ 30 , 000 000 or £ 33 , 000 , 000 is vested ; aruT the produce of which manufacture Is estimated to overage in value from £ 25 , 000 , 000 to £ 50 , 000 , 000 annually ? Then take into account its manufactures of hardware and pottsry , and others that will occur to the thoughts , producing a vast annual revenue , besides its mining operations , and tho claim on behalf ef legislative benevolence , on the ground of the relative taxation of England and Ireland , will be considerably qualified .
Tho ntxt reference is to Irish exports . These , under different circumstances , would afford an index of prosperity . Bu < , as imports and exports regulate each other , in Ireland they go for nothing . The greater part of the exports from Ireland has teen provisions , and if tho price were returned in specie , to be expended in the purchase of Irish manufactures , would be a bentfit to tho country . But ibis 13 not tho case , it is an exchange for articles manufactured in England , which , if manufactured at home , nould employ tbo population who are Idle , not from nature and disposlt 01 , as is scandalously reported , but from want of employment .
The case attempted to be made out gains but little support from tbe fact on savings bonks , It simply shows what no one over attempted 10 deny , —that there are-afew millions of pounds In Ireland . Tho amount in those banks , if divided , would give about twenty-two shillings each to each Inhabitant—no very clear proof of tbo people being rich—or ore not 0 'lend of paupers . But It is intended to show progress since the union . To do so the comparison should be mado betwesti some ptried previous to that event and some periods subiequent , and not between periods since 1829 . But does It really prove that , since 1829 , the people have had more money to deposit in savings banks , and , therefore , evidences their progress 1 I am slow to admit such proof . The different periods , indicated ia your tables , afforded opportunities for exhibiting tho nature of such
depositories , and the desirableness of tho people investing what they could sfinro , tbat they might augment by interest as well as encourage providence . The different periods bavebeen times of disturbance in the country , which caused people , espfclally in the rural districts , to secure wfcnt money they had by trusting it to the care of Other ? with whom it would ba safer than In their OV » U keeping . This by no means proves that money has In . croaetd , it only shows thut what the people previously had in tt . eir own houses they have put Into savings ' banks . Tbla will appear evident if it be noticed , that in the year 1846 , tho season of Ireland's great sufferings , the amount ef deposits was greater than in prtvl « us years , though trade and agriculture were greatly depressed in this year , which shows that the sums at all available were placed in the bunks .
You ask , in relation to the increase of the loan fan . l circulation , — ' Is th' re no Indication of progress bore V Surely it is unaccountable bow such a deduction can bo dependant on such a fact . Is it proof of a man ' s progress that a man gets into debt t I was in Ireland In 181 C . I knew several poor , who from want of tmployment and the enhanced price of provisions , wero applicants for loans , with tbe hope , as they expressed it , that ' times would take a turn for the batter ; ' end I have known these persons' applications to be rfjected , because of the extent of the demands on tho funds , and the difficulty of poor peop'e obtaining such securities at were then demanded . Had euou applications becn . received , and tho amount of loan extended , would it have served Mr
Martin as a proof that the country was progressing i If so , he must hava discovered some unknown process of conclusions . The same error marks tbe Inference from the increase of money orders in tbe Post Office , . Hr Martin uses it to show the increase of money , but if examlntd beneath the surface it will prove tbe very con . trary . The time was one of suff . -riug , friends sent to friends for help , either as a loan or gift , nO matter which , so tbe present distress could be mitigated ; wherever a response could bo given it was prompt . If it wore not in the power of the person from whom relief was sought , tbat person opp lied to some other fri » ndfor the loan cf tbo necessary amount ; and in this way I have known tiro orders to be taken in tho Post Office for the same pound or ten shillings .
In tbe diminution of cases tried in doctors' courts , I draw , as in tbe former eeses , art opposite conclusion to toot of Mr Martin . Wlllhe say honestly , that the courts In those periods exhibit a fair view of the transactions of debtor and creditor , and that they indicate progress ? The debtor was often exempted from legal suit , because ot his being unable to meet tbe demand of a creditor . There was a feeling of its being cruel to take a man from his family , and confine him for a debt wbich he was unable to pay , but which , if times improved , might be discharged .
Thus , there was a temporary suspension of prosecutions for debt . Indeed , magistrates wero very chary of confining for suits for debt , which they generally refused to do when any arrstnga & ont could be effected between tho parties , which gave even a remote prospect of tbe debt being paid . There the feeling that In prosecuting the suit expense should be incurred to no " purpose , operated to prevent prosecutions for debt . I have often heard It said It would bo ' throwing good money afttr bad . ' And fui ther , from tbe insecurity arising from the general depression , the same facilities did not exist for getting into debt in those latter periods , to which reference has beea' made by your authorit y . Meh were not willing to be creditors , as the hope of being paid could have no very firm foundation upon which to rest .
Tno increased consumption of tea , coffee , and eager , must not bo taken far more thtm it is worth , as a proof of progress since the union . And , first , to reduce it to its proper value , consider that a decrease ia duty causes an increase in the consumption of an article . Then , second , tbat since the progress of temperance , more ^ f these necessary articles have been connuimd , every town and village contributing to supply the demand by tbe establishment of tea and coffee-shops . And , third , tbat the failure at the -potato obliged those to live , who have lived through the famine , on bread , which requires something succulent as an accompaniment ; for even Irish gullets cannot swallow dry bread—though possessing a wondrous power of swallowing English insult—and that easiest to be procured was tea or coffee .
The greater amount of grain and maal consumed in 1845 , compared with the amount used at the union , was not because the people could better afford to purchase It , but first , the population had increased , and had nothit g tlso to live on , tho potatoc having failed . Those who could in any way purchase flour and meal , did sothose who could not , died , to the number of a million ! A ) to the transactions In ( he shipping department , which Mr Martin adduces as proof of the Increase of commerce since tho union , the certainty of his conclusions is verv questionable . Like the element on which nautical eflairs are conducted , tbe surface may look smooth and calm , but by looking deeper we detect much that is dangerous . In 1816 , a large number ef vessels arrived ia Irish ports with Indian grain and meal , and took out Irish wheat to Eoglish markets . This I have often grieved , over as I walked the quays , saw Irish grain exported , and foreign meal Imported , which even tbe starving loathed .
The same vessel Was often sent from one port to another with the same cargo of provisions , and , of course , registered at both ; and many thousands of tbo tonnage , so indicative of Irish prosperity , were to transport the inhabitants to America , from whence many were doomed never to return , having died of the ship fever . The radiance of which the Poor Law is the focus , fails to affect the generality of Irishmen in the same manner as it does the editor of the Witness , Its glory ia obscured by the shivering victims of famine . " But , as Englishman and Irishmen view tho scene lrom different points , we aro not to be surprised at the differtnoo of opinion . The former see the glory of the Poor Law radiating from an English senate , and the latter see it Irradiating the subjects of tbat senate ' s oppression , Indeed , much should not be said on the subject oi British Poor Laws as tticy ever need tinkering , and nevir give satisfaction .
Wo ore next reminded in yourortiole that Parliam ent gave , since the Union , £ 11 , 127 , 872 , fvr purposes of charity , literature , agriculture , & c ; showing to the plainest Inleliig . nca that some of the money , taken by tale ' s from Ireland , has been oxpendi d there , Surel y , this Is » boon for which tho Irish should be grateful (?) I am glad to have done With the foregoing excoptlonable proofs of the fostering care ot the English government for Irish intirests , and tfent wo come to tbe lust reference made to those mattors In your article . I have ever felt thankful for the relief given to my starving
counirymon , both by the government and tho voluntary contributions of the Eaglish people , and this feeling I know to have been shared by the Irish people to a vert considerable extent ; and , if 1 U force bo now lessened , it is so by the determinati on of the legislature to resist every demand for those rights which belong to a nation aud the maimer in whloh that determination has been exl pressed , in its perfidious treatment of tho men who seek to emancipate their country . Men with whomhowever slandered by the aristocracy a „ a ^ ddle classes otEngtanl-the great majority of Irishmen fully
symof m « un « r J t 0 rcmatk on tho final conclusions of Mr Martin . If the exceptions taken to tho Jala , n whlcj cbt-j have beeu formed , be admitted , tho whole theoiy of Ireland ' s prosperity btcomes as baseless as an empty T . sion , and he is convicted of bearing false Witness against his country . Tbo reasons given f . r maintaining tbo Union In Its entirety , ' may satisfy Mr Martin , hut will bo little effective in suppressing the demand for Irish Independence . Is this gentleman wiser than tho millions of Irishmen calling for a Repeal of tbo Union ? Is bo better able to inform them as to what is for their Interest , than they are to Infjrm themselves « Such asPump-loas asa sufficient fo mak ? mo . des- y blush , Polic j mag have & great obttro In the

g overnment of some minds , but Others reSOlVB eWJ subjsctinto a question of right , and would rather oarry out a fundamental principle , though It op . rated against their Interest , than truckle to a mean expediency . And the simple question at Issue betwixt England and Ireland at present is , « Has England a right to govern Ireland in opposition to the wishes of a majority of the country ? ' I would ask , what of duty is involved In preserving the Union in its entirety 1 Tbe only duty Is , on the pa £ t of Ireland , not to allow a shred of it to OJlSt , - I shall avoid the strain of low epithet that you thcught It right to employ , in giving utterance to your wrat . *! against those whom you contemptuously onll patriots ' They may be , for aught you know , lovers Of their conntry . Happily , you have it not in yonr power to show your love for them , by placing them on the treadmill . I venture to aver your contempt will sit on thera .
very easy You say there weuld be far more truth and decency in the cry of Justice to England V Then cry , lift up your voice , and spare not ; and let every man In Eng . land assist till foil justice bo done them . But should this silence Ireland ' s call ? According to your argument it should , as , because England suffers Injustice , so should Ireland , Do , sir , allow mo to ask , if I do not entirely discompose your BOlf-cproplacency ? Are we to waft fjr justice till you obtain it ; thoug h tbat period may never arrive ! Are we te lie couchant to tbe British Lion till he devour the prey , and then we take the bones * Is England ever to interpose h er unwieldy form to Irish progress ; and because you remain stationary , or move at te
the pace of old decrepitude , is Irelan d not make a step beyond you t Surely such assumptions are sufficient to disturb tbe most perfect equanimity t In your reflections you complain of the loss Ireland is to England , and yet you deslra tbe union to be kept in Its entirety ? How disinterested 1 For whose benefit , then , do you desire tbe union « Tbat of Irishmen ? They tell you it Is for their benefit it should cease ; but weVe it sincerely believed that Ireland was a loss to England , Englishmen would be foremost to repeal the union , and net only the union , but would refuse to have any conncxlon whatever with it . And never » as there a better opportunity than the present , when the majority of Irishmen are anxious to cancel tbe deed by which Ireland
was made over to England , The cry for repeal will sooa be lost in that for complete independence . The na . tional pulsation Is In complete unison with the aspirations of thotnoblestofmen , to whom I presume youjrefer in your closing alluBion I mean Milchei , whoh & s given an Impulse to Irish desires , and shed a b . ilmy influence over Irish sjmpatbles , not to be satisfied or dissipated by vnlfl » r declamation .

Death Prom Chloroform.—Important Investi...
DEATH PROM CHLOROFORM . —IMPORTANT INVESTIGATION , An Inquest which occupied several hours took plECc before Mr T . Wakley , M . P ., and a jury on Saturday last , at the Apollo Tavern , Francis-street , Tottenham Court , road , concerning the death of Walter S . Badger , Esq ., aged 23 , who died whilst under the influence of chloro . form administered to him by Mr Robinson , surgeon , dentist Gower-street . The inquiry excited inteiscinte . rest among the medical profession , a large number of whom were present during tbe proceedings . The body having been viewed by tbe jury ,
Mr BADGES , the father of the deceased , identified the body as that of his sen . Ho said be Was the coroner for the West Riding of Yorkshire , and resided atNasborough Hall , near Rotberham . Ho last saw deceased alive 00 Tuesday , the 27 th ult ., when ho s * w him at theRother . ham railway station , on his way to London , where he was coming for tho purpose of having six of his teeth taken out . Ho then appeared in his usual health , which was apparently very good , although he complained frtquently of violent beating of bis heart . He haij frequently expressed his desire to inhale chloroform Whilst undergoing the operation of having bis teeth taken out , but he wob dissuaded from It by a medical friend , a-: d also by members of bis family .
Habeiet Wilson said she wasservant to ] Mr R lbicson , flurgeon-denlist , No , 7 , Gower street , ' Bedford-square , The deceased gentleman called at Mr Robinson ' s on Thursdoy , but as Mr Robinson was engaged be left , and said that he would call onthefollowing day ( Friday ) , at two o ' clock . Deceased camcori'the JFridoy at the appointed time , and she was called into the room , as she understood deceased was to have chloroform administered whilst his teeth were extracted . It wbb customary for witness to be called in on such occasions . Mr Robinson having prepared his apparatus , administered the chloroform , and when deceased bad inhaled it about a minute he said 'he did not think it was strong
enough . ' Mr Robinson turned away for the purpose of obtaining some more chloroform from tbe bottle to place In the apparatus , In which , perhaps , three-quarters of a minute was expended . Daring this Interval the de > consort ' s band dropped , lotting fall tbe apparatus wbich be himself bold , ood bis head dropped on his cbe » t , and he appeared quite dead . Mr Robinson felt his pulse , and sent instantly to Mr Drew , a surgeon over the way , and for Dr Waters , and prepared the deceased ' s orm raady for bleeding . Tbe doctor came directly , and cn deceased ' s being bled only about half a table spoonful of very dark blood was obtained , and he was pronounced dend . In answer to questions , the witness stated that she had seen her master administer chloroform In five
hundred cases , as she Was in the habit of being called in Case of her assistance being required , thelar . er majority of patien's being ladles . ' When Mr Robinson first looked at deceased ' s teeth , she heard hint say to deceased , ' You had better let me take t ^ iem out without chloro . form ; ' deceased replied , 'No , I will have it ; lam not afraid . ' Mr Robinson repeated in bis evidence the statement made by Han let Williams , The apparatus , as also the bottle containing the chloroform , was here produced , and minutely examined by the coroner , jury , and medical gentlemen present . Dr Johw Watebs was next examined . —Ho said be Resided at No . 2 , South-crescent , Bedford-square , and was a physician sod member of the Royal College of
Surgeons , of Edinburgh . Fie was called to see deceased shortly after two o ' clock on tbo afternoon of Friday , tbe 30 h of Jane . He tves apparently dead , but be attempted to bleed him , and resorted to artificaHnsplration / rictlop , and other remedies for half an hour , to no parpose . He amde a post mortem txtmlnotien of tho body seventeen hours after death , in the presence cf Mr Erasmus Wilson atid Dr Emery , On opening the head , be found slight congestion of the membranes . On opening the chest found the lungs pushed upwards by the liver , between tho 3 rd and 4 th ribs . On opening the pericardum tho heart was found to be of en unusually pale colour . The tissue of the heart was thinner than natural and Inter * spersed with fat , particularly at tbe apex of the left ventricle , where ibe muscular tissue was replaced by fat . There was only about one line of muscular tissue , when in a state of health tin re would have been five or
six lines . Tbe valves of the heart were not in a healthy condition . The surface of the edges were unequal , aid there was the commencement of tbe formation of cartl . lage . The liver was found to be enormou .-ly large . It was double tbe usual size , and instead of four pounds , tho natural weight , It was found to weigh eight pounds . The j resjure of the liver upwards had evidently impeded ths actios of-the longs and heart , and therefore any excitement of any character , was exceedingl y dangerous to the deceased , With a liver and heart in such a state , the m » re ixtraction of a tootb , even Without tbe administration of chloroform , might hare produced death —By the coroner : My opinion is , that the decsaied ' a heart had not sufficient room to play on account of tbe pressure of tbe liver and other organs . I nm also of oplnieh that the deceased died from arrest of tho heart ' * action , owing to the administration of chloroform . ' J
Mr EBisMUs Wittov , at considerable hngth , corroborated the evidence of Dr Walters , oni expressed his opinion that tho administration of chloroform to patients having any internal disease was exceedingly dangerout . The coroner and jury completely exonerated Mr Robinson from blame , . and returned a verdict , * That the deceased died under tho influence of chloroform , acting on a deceased heart-and tutarged liver .

An Allkgeu Breach of the Factor ? Act was brought before the magistrates of Stockport , en Saturday , by Mr Trimmer , factory inspector , in which Mr Stewart , a manufacturer , was the defendant . Tbe caao was one in which a lad named Beeaton wfca said to hare worked two hours in Mr Stewart ' s mill , alter hkving already worked two hours in that of Mr Marshall , on the same day . The case was established as to the hours of labour , and Mr Trimmer stated that the law officers of the crown were of opinion the responsibility pf over-working must fall upon persons m Mr Stewart s situation , and not upon thoge who had employed tha young man the greatest number of hours . The argument , however , ultimately , in this case , turned upon another point , the lad aud his friends averring their belief that ha was not under eighteen years of age , although there was no proof if his age cither way , and on this point the magistrates dismissed the case —A tirnUar case waa then proceeded with against the same emnlover . but tha
magistrates adjourned it for a week , that Mr Trimmer might obtain the opinion of tho Jaw officers , of tbe crown . —Mr Stewart was subsequently fined iOi . for employing a young penon half time , and not having h r name down in a register for children .

CU AUTISM . A VOICE FROM CANADA . p aum ( From the Toronto Mirror , of Friday , May 19 isigi Ths Tory and loose-ffsh press of England , tu > ^ u . that of Canada , ever true to its principle of adhering to what it believes to bo the strong side , has coma down upon Chartism with all the force of its thunderbolts Were we to judge of the character of Chartism , ^ * predict Its fortunes , from the premises afforded to u 8 D 7 such organs as tbe LonCon Mornin g CnaoNicn- tha Tikes , and other metropolitan papers , we should ba disposed to think hut lightly of its meritp . But we have for some time back , been watching the progreau cf ' Chartism , and , though many persons have latterl y been disposed to believe tbat it had psrished from the earth we have held a different opinion . '
Vf e venture to foretel , that before five years Chartism trill be tbe political fashion of the day ; it will be tho popular doctrine—if , indeed , it will not have becom 0 the national , legitimate , and orthodox creed . Chartism is an embodiment of great facts , each of which bas its origin Id corresponding great abuses . Who does not see whence has sprang the demand for Universal Suffrage , In a country in which the millions are ruled ' by the hundreds—or rather the scores—who make barter of tbe people ' s rights at the bastings , in tbe purchase of the votes of the thousands ? Constituencies are bonght end sold , with no more regard te tbe ri ghts of freemen than Is evinced by an American planter , in effecting the sale of his negro establishment . The electors are brutallsed into the perversion of tbat suffrage , which should be
exercised with the most scrupulous regard to tha general welfare of tho unprotected multitude . One person ia every thousand , or , it may be , one in every hundred , or every fifty , has a vote ; and because he has this privilege he is a proper object for the attention of the bribery agent of bis would-be pariiamrntary representativeand became oil the rest of the fifty , or the handred , or the thousand have no votes , tbe purchase of constituencies ia cheaper than it would be if they bad them , And this is the short and the long , tbe pith and tho marrow , of the real , but occult argument in favocr of a limited franchise . Those who declaim against Ualversat Suffrage would do well to point out to us any other sort of suffrage less capable of being corrupted . It is oar opinion that , the Incorruptibility of the suffrage Is the best guarantee of national integrity .
Again , the demand for Tote b y Ballot must grow stronger , unless public morality be retrograding . This reform might , indeed , even with a limited franchise , secure the masses against the ecoundrellsm of their mas . ten ; se far , at least , as actual bribery is concerned . Still we know that tbe more largely tho elective Iran , chlse Is enjoyed , in any country , the more reliable Is tbe verdict of tho constituencies , na the honest voice of the nation . He would be a wealthy candidate who would promise to himself to be able to obtain , by the agency of open houses , and loaded tables , a majority of tbe voters of euch populous towns as London , Liverpool , Glasgow , Manchester , Birmingham , or Sheffield ; and as to the rural constitueuclea , the ayetem of gluttoniBlng an d intoiicatlug the multitude would be impracticable .
In the next place , the abolition of State Churches Is a measure which public opinion is gradually and yearly heaving onward ; and its consummation is as certain aa that men will dare to wenhip God as they think ' proper , and will not consent to pay for other persons exercising the same privilege . Chartism may bo ridiculed ; but so was the Aati . Corn . Law agitation ; and to has been , in its turn , every other agitation which we have seen finally successful . Th « very palos tiken by the preti to ridicule it , prove its Strength , The signatures to the Chartist petition were unques . tionablv overstated ; but grant that the / were—grant
that the milllorjs did not sign it , because this number would comprise the tthole adult male population of Sroat Britain—grant that tbe Clerks of the House of Commons made the number of signatures only 1 , 900 000 —and grant that even 400 , 000 signatures were fictitious , ( which is an allowance not claimed by the opponents of the organisation)—are not 1 , 500 , 000 signatures a great pelitioal faet ! A petition signed by a million ajnd half of tbe adult male population of Great Britain may bo thrown under the table ; but assuredl y it will rise again —it will be beard—it will succeed—it cannot be stifled .

AMERICAN SLAVERY . We take the Mlomo % from the National Era , published at Washington . The writer ofthearticle is the celebrated poet John Grebhleaf Weit . tibb : —
• LIBERTY OR DEATH . ' ''Tis easy , my husband ! ' was tbe dying exclamation , of the Reman heroine , as she drew the dagger from her bosom , aud banded it to ber bbeband , to perform upon himself , the same fearful office of suicide . Her devotioa and courage have besn tbe thome of classical admiration . Who has not felt his pulse beat quick at the story oi the sacrifice of Virginia by her own . father , before tbe tribunal whloh had just pronounced her the slave of Claudius , and resigned her to the Inst of the brutal patrician !
An event has just occurred in our own country , which transcends In tragic . Interest these passages from the history of the heroic age of Rome—one te which scarctly the horning wtrds of Alfierl or the vigorous-, lays oi Macaulay . ' could do justice . The newspapers of the west give the terrible details in few words , and generally without remark . Connected as It Is with the despotism of slavery , political partisans dare not accompany tbs fact with the commentary which Instinctively suggests itself . Safer b y far was it for tbe Roman Tribunes to denounce the outrage when committed by' Applus Claudius , even when the tyrant exercised supreme power in the city , and before the return of Tlrglnlus to ovenge his daughter ' s , wrongs , than It is now for a Whig or Democratic editor to apeak out the language of an honest and generous heart , In view of the tragic horror which they have placed upon record in their pages . J It appears that a 'Mr Mullea , of Grant county , Sonucky , ' eol < S a man and ' dis wifotoanegro-tr / ader . who was
seebiog slaves for the market of New Orleans . They had onaohildoniy , aad thisthe trader did not want . The poor Creatures dreaded to be sold ; they had been faithful ia tlielr service , and the man , especially , | wat noted as one 61 those ' csntented slaves who won ' id't ^ ake their 11 . tarty if they had the offer of it , ' of which bo much has been said by northern apologists for slavery . Tb Induce them to go more nllllngly ' , the trader cunningly suggested that It would be best to let tbe child remain with them until he had xaade np his car ^ o , and was ready to start down the river , when it could fee taken from thtm nod sent back to Grant county , This diabolical advantage of parental affection was accordingly taken , and tbs three slaves ' wero brought to Covington on the 18 th alt ., and placed in the gaol for safe-keeping . Just before entering the gaol , the parents learned b y some means tbe crnel trick that bad beea played upon them , and that they were to be sold away from their child la a fen days .
The agony and horror whloh followed this revelation , are known only to 63 d . The wretched pair looked upon each other and upon their child . They were about to leave their child . They were about to leave the sol * pledge of tbelr love in tbe bands of a master who had proved himself cruel and heartless . They were themselves soon to be soldogaln , perhaps to different owners , and £ rlven by the whip on separate plantations , never to see each other again , never to hear the voices of old friends and relatives , and at last to die « xhansled In tbs cotton . row , or neglected In the cheerless hut , and to have , when all was over , a brute ' s burial . Fj-om this awful destiny , which their imagination all through that miserable night painted on tho black wall of tho dun . geon , there was but cne door of escape death ! W ? . o marvels that they sought It «
In the calmness of their great despair , they deliberately resolved to die together . The mother cut th * throat of tbo child , and then gave the knife to her husband , who . killed her , and then attempted to cotnpleta the sacrifice b y cutting his onn throat , He was found alive , but \ % was thought bo could not recover . ' . Upon whom , in tha sight of truth and reason , rest * the guilt of this terrible immolation t Not , surely , upon the poor vlctlns themselves . We may pity , but yoa cannot condemn them . WeJenr » thorn to Him to wbos » mercy they have so solemnly eppoaled from ( bp cruelty of man . The damning sin of this tragedy lies at the door of those who thrust upon them the terrible alternatlve—who compelled them to choose between the sepa . ratios , the shame , the stripes , the long agony of slaver / , and a sudden and vi * Unt deavh—the freedom of tb * S " ' J .
