Comprising about 29 ? acres of superior la land , principally arable , and a great portion o ) of it in a high state of cultivation ; together w with eighty-two excellent cottages , of three , fi four , and more rooms each , and out-offices , the w -whole of them built in a very superior manner , i in stone , with slated roofs , & c ., and conyei xuenUy fitted up for immediate occupation , t each cottage being situate and standing upon j an allotment of two , three , or four acres . i Also , an excellent homestead and labourer ' s i cottage , and suitable agricultural buildings . The estate was formerly the property of
John Walker , Esq ., deceased , and was tanned hy him for some time , and two or three years since was purchased for the * purpose of allotment , and creating small freeholders . The cottages on tie estate are vefy pleasantly and advantageously placed , as to'frontage , & c ., and the whole property presents a- very agreeable , andpicturesqueap p ^ aflco ^ j ^ sSijn ^ tof the allotments haymg been occupied and under culture , chiefly by the spade , for some time , the soil is greatly improved ,, ais is evidenced by the superior crops produced at the present t ime . The greater number of the persons now occupying portions of the property are under compulsory terms to quit and surrender up their respective allotments immediately , ' unless
the purchasers of one or more lots are willing to accept them as tenants ; and some others hold until about November next ; possession of the lots in their occupation cannot , therefore , be given immediately .

TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND . Mr FniBSDS , I had not time last week to comment upon my question put to GOODENOUGH HATTER , on Thursday night week , relative to his conduct as chairman of the Committee appointed to inquire into my conduct as propounder of the NATIONAL LAND SCHEME . I had not time , as the question was put on Thursday nighty and the first edition of the " Northern Star " is printed on that night . However , now I shall do so .
I have stated the persecution to which my father , and my exiled , nncle , Arthur O'Cox-KOB , have been subjected , for having the manliness and courage to advocate tbepeople ' a cause ; I hare stated that John McCto-WVQE , my father ' s steward , was offered 500 / a year and a commission in the army , if he -would give such evidence as would cause my father's death ; I have stated that Pexse Hazes , an old stone-mason , was also offered a handsome fortune , if he would do the same ; and that Gobebt , a government officer , was offered a reward of 5001 , U he would perjure himself to secure my father ' s executionj and that Hebeet , a French prisoner of war , was offered a free pardon and a reward , if he would do likewise .
Beddt , who was incarcerated for four years , stated at a meeting at Ashton , that he was offered a handsome salary by the Bradford Magistrates , and a free pardon , if he would swear against me ; but , as life can only be a secondary consideration to a , sum of honour , I . must now call your attention to the vile , the atrocious , the abominable and vHlanous conduct of GOODENOUGH HAYTER-a member of HER
MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT . This fellow was appointed Chairman of the Land Committee . He was the JUDGE-ADVOCATE—a just one , of course j and thedufcy of a Judge is to secure a fair . and impartial Inquiry into the case which he is appointed tp hear and judge upon . He should / be-hnpartiaf , - and should give the accused the benefit of any doubt that may exist or arise ; the investigation should be open . But what do yon think of this Government official admitting that he
paid A SECRET SPY MONEY OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET to seeureMY CONVICTION ? What , I say , must those out of whose pockets such a ruffian is paid hy a Minister of the Government , think of such an atrocious act ? And what must they think of House of Commons ^ professing to represent them , not censoring such an act ? However , tins pious juggler in Flemish , Belgian , and English Railways , may rest assured that I have not yet done with him . I do not think
that the people , if fairl y represented , would allow such a monster to sit in Parliament . And what must they think of the "Manchester School" hang the supporters of this "WHISTLER AT THE PLOUGH ?" Next week I shall give the reader a fair descript ion of the present state of France , and then I shall once more weld the English mind so as to put down all oppression .

THE NATION A L L A ND AND L A BOUR BANK AND « ONE WHO HAS WHISTLE D AT THE PLOU G H »'
10 THE BDITOR OF THS NOBIBERS STAR . Si ^~ In your last week ' s impression I observe that Mr .-O'Connor has published a letter , dated September , 1849 , written by " One who has Whistled at the Plough , " to some of his friends in Manchester , ' : and from which I am led to infer that be takes credit to himself for "breaking up , " what he is pleased to call the "Land Bank Swindle . "' As Manager of the Institution I may be supposed to be cognizant of such an event as this ; and I think your readers will not refuse the same amount of credit , to my . statement as may have been accorded to Mr . Somerville by the readers of the Manchester Examiner , It has
ever been my care , as one whose duty it is to attend solely to Matters of Bank business , to avoid : public remark with respect to any knowledge ! possessed as to the ' aflairs of my Principal , although such strange and absurd conclusions have been arrived at bjr those who do hot , or will not understand ijr . ; O'Connor ' s motives -or ^ action s ; tbaVI ^ ' ave b * n \; often tempted to break the rule I had laid down for my conduct . The following remarks of Mr . Somerville , however , compel me toeofler a few observations , with the view of correcting ( as I am certainly best qualified to do ) the sweeping assertions he has thought it his public duty to make . I now call your readers' attention to the following extracts from " the Whistler ' s " letter : —
It was not until the middle of 1847 that other newspaper * Tentured to combat the tinge delusion of the Land Scheme , and that more transparent swindle , the Land and Labour Bank associated with it And then it was chiefly from me the ; had their information . All that year I was incesiantly engaged in examining the scheme and swindle ; in warning the shareholders of their danger ; in preventing Trade Societies , Benefit Societies , Burial Cfub ; , and other Associations , from -sending their funds to the Land Bank . Though my exposure of the nssonndnesB of the Bank did
not prevent all those societies from parting with their money , and parting with it for ever , 1 saved many of them from ruin . But for my timely interference the Engineers and Machine Makers would have lost £ 20 , 080 more than they did lese . I carried on an extensive correspondence , made other visits to the estates purchased by Mr . O'Connor with , the shareholders subscriptions , to the Bank in London , to the Registration Office , and to branch societies , to gather information , and continued so to do after tine newspapers ceases to publish what I wrote—their conductor thinking , not without reason , that the public were , for the time , tired of flie subject .
In London I continued my exposure of the Land Scheme by pamphlets and otherwise , and finally broke up the land BankSwindle . ' 3 T You will observe that this person ' s " services" appear to have "been most energetic and effectual in the middle of 1817 , and tiiat he prevented certain societies from losing " £ 20 , 000 mrethon thy did lose . " That he visited the Bank in order to procure information , with the clear intent to make treacherous use of it ; and , finally , that he " broke up the Land Bank Swindle . "
Itook charge of the Bank on 2 * Jih September , 1847 , little dreaming of the enemy with whom I had to contend , when ! found no less than fourteen Benefit Societies with accounts open . From September , 1847 , to the present time , I opened no less than eighty-seven fresh accounts with Benefit and Trade Societies , the greater part of which were opened in 1848 , perhaps in consequence of Mr . Somerrille ' s efforts to prevent it , However that may be , none of the societies have "parted for ever" with their moneys and not a single individual , or society having a credit at the Bank , undreaming their funds , have ever been disappointed in' reclitfiig their princi pal and interest on'the day on which [ the money toas doe ! f
This assertion—which 1 defy any one to controvert—will make it almost unnecessary for me to say that the Land Bank " Swindle " is not "broken up , ' * at least I am not aware of it if it is so , as it is open daily , and transacting business in precisely the same routine , and . with the same staff of clerks , with the same manager at its head , as when " the Whistler " opened his campaign against it in
1847 . In conclusion , I must beg leave to express my great regret that Mr . Somerville did not favour me with a note previous to his visit , informing me of his intention , and object , for I should have felt it my duty to have shown him every attention , by showing him the way out of the Bank . lean never sufficiently regret his omission on this point I am , Sir , y our obedient Servant , T . Pbicb , Manager ,
The National Land Company And The Poor U...
THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY AND THE POOR UNFORTUNATE OLD SCOTCH WOMAN . to r . o ' cohrob , * sq , Sib , —Having been a resident of the metropolis during the last week , the subject of your injustice to ail aged Scotch female homed Watson , has been the main subject of conver sation in the various companies I have frequented , and being in possession of the lull particulars of this woman ' s unfortunate case , I think it my duty to lay it before the public . Mrs . Watson was unfortunately duped into the purchasing of a £ 5 4 s . share in the Land Company in the year 1846 . On the 1 st of
May , 1847 , she , having been fortunate in the ballot , tooi possession of a four acre farm at O'Connorvill ^ in the County ^ of Herts , and in addition to the farm had £ 21 laid out for her benefit in manure , seeds , & c ., and received in hard cash £ 50 ; being £ 30 aid money , and £ 20 loan , towards stocking and cultivating the same . On the 12 th of April , 1848 , after about eleven months' possession , during which she had received upwards of £ 70 in ; moneyj or money's worth , or about Thirty-two Shillings per week , this poor dqpe sold the allotment to George William Wheeler for £ 115 , thus receiving , in the space of eleven months , £ 185 for her original outlay Of £ 5 is , I lior did Mrs . Watson ' s unfortunate losses end here ; for
intheNovemberof 1847 ,. her brother was awinr ier in the ballot which then took place ; he soon after died , and by will left his chance to Mrs . Watson ; fcr this , in my presence , she has been several times offered £ 50 , but declined selling it for that amount . I was present at the last Conference at Snigs End , when she was offered an allotment at Lowbands , or £ 50 in money ; she declined accepting the latter , thinking to make more money by disposing of the allotment . Believing that these particulars were unknown to you , and to the shareholders generally , and being anxious to g ivethatadviceto hertalentedsolicitor . Mr . 'Pry , alias Pry , which the worthy Alderman could not be expected to give , I remain yours , a friend of the Poor Scotch Lady , who has received £ 185 in lien of £ 5 4 s ., and who expects

DEFAULTING NEWS AGENTS . TO THE EDITOR o * THE HOBTHBRN STAB . : Dbab SiB .--For several weeks past there have appeared notices in your paper addressed to the Agents of the " Northern Star , ^ ' complaining of the non-payment of debts due to the Proprietor . It is most disgraceful and disreputable for any man to obtain goods without the intention of paying for them , arid more particularly so bf professing Democrats . .. It is due to the Chartist public , ( who are
the purchasers of the "Star , " ) that they should be furnished with the names and residences of such dishonest Agents , in order to avoid them ; and I most " respectfull y request that a list of such persons be forthwith inserted in the " Star . " . Why not make all Agents pay in advance ? This would prevent loss , and be doing an act of justice and kindness to the parties themselves , by teaching them habits of
carefulness and prudence . The question has frequently been put to me : " Do you owe any mono } for the " Northern Star ? " It is not right'that all the Agents should bear the stigma of being dishonest because some individuals prove themselves so . Let the people see who the swindlers are , they will then know how to deal with them . ' Hoping shortly to see the names , trades , residences , of these sham RadicalReformers , ( who ought toreform themselves ) published , I remain , Yours truly , James Sweet .

THE LA . CEY FUND . . TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED kingdom :. Brother Chartists and Democrats , — Several weeks have elapsed since we apprised you of the formation of a committee for' the purpose of raising funds to defray the expenses of Mrs . Lacey . and her family to her husband ( William Lacey ) , at Launceston , in Australia . At that time the committee appealed to your , charitable sympathies in behalf of the above object , and , up to the : present moment , £ 16 has been received from friends in the Metropolis , ; but the ' Chartists in the provinces , Scotland , and Wales , have not contributed their mite for this purpose ; and We , the committee , deem it imperative to
make this appeal to the Chartists generally , and at the same time to earnestly request their attention and assistance to effect the union of the Lacey family . It may be necessary to inform you that William Lacey was one of the victims of the "Powel plot" in 1848 , arid that with Fay , Cuffay , Dowling , arid others , he was sentenced to . transportation for life . After passing two years' probation in various prisons in England , he was sent to Australia ; and on arriving at Launceston he was presented with a ticket of leave , which left him without restraint to obtain his livelihood by fpllowinghis occupation of a boot and shoemaker . '
At the time of his arrest he was in comfortable circumstances , carrying on business on his own account , and he also kept the " Charter Coffee-house , " where the Chartists of the locality met . ¦ He had a family of six children —the eldest then about fourteen years of age , and the youngest only two rribnths old . Deprived of a husband ' s support and protection , she has hitherto supported , her large famil y by her own exertions , aided by the trifling sums afforded to the Victim Committee by the Chartist body . To add to her sorrows , Mrs . Lacey met with a severe loss , in the latter end of last month , by the death of her youngest ¦
child ; '' •' ¦;' ' " • " . We consider the reuriien of this family to be but ari = act of simple justice on the part of our body , and that they have a right to expect it at our hands . According to the rules of the Emigration Society , the cost of transmitting this family to Australia is as follows : —Passage money , £ 30 ; outfit £ 20 . But this is independent of the expense of travelling to the seaport where the vessel might be stationed to receive them . Thus it will be seen that , at the least , £ 60 is required ; and that , as before stated , £ l 6 only has been collected , which leaves a deficiency of £ 34 .: . ' .
It is of the greatest importance that whatever is done should be done , quickly . We have before intimated our desire that the subscription , should cease and determine by the 25 th of the present month of August-this being the best time of the year to secure a favourable voyage ,- and consequently a time when vessels are bound for Australia . In accordance with this expressed desire , Mrs . Lacey has made preparations for her departure by the
adjustment of her affairs , and has given up tho coffee-house , on the profits of which she has hitherto subsisted—another pressing reason for prompt and immediate action . . Brothers , we have laid this plain and simple statement of facts before you in full confidence that you will do justice to the case . It is the last , the least , and the only consolatory act you can perform , as' a recompense for the sufferings of this now divided femily . We appeal to you , for the last time , in perfect « on-

An Addhess To Tse People, ' / ' . ''. By...
AN ADDHESS TO TSE PEOPLE , ' / ' . '' . BY ERNEST JONES . , Fbuow Counxktmen , — When a man stands forward as an advocate of a popular principle , the public has ? a right to know upon what views he means to base that advocacy , and what course , however humble , he intends to pursue . Therefore , as I purpose devoting my future to the cause of the poor ;' as , pursuant to invitations received , I have resolved on recommencing my labours by a tour through England , Scotland , and Wales , and as all communication between us has been interrupted fer more than two years , I think it my duty to
address a few words to you before we meet , on bur past and present position ; and on . ' our future prospects . 'In the spring of 1848 the Democratic movement assumed an astonishing rapidity . Never was a ; time of greater promise—never was a developement of greater power . The middle class were ready to make concessions ; the governing faction were paralysed into inactivity , and yet the people were frustrated—frustrated , notby the hands of the Whig oligarchy , but by their own ! The source of that event was party-bickering and personal contention . The National Convention was called for the
purpose of presenting the National Petition : its dignity was insulted ,. but its mission was fulfilled ; as far as lay in its power . On the express understanding that it was not a sufficient representation of the national will in reference to further measures , for the carrying out of which . it was not commissioned , by , 4 ts last ' act"it ( Cohveriedalarger and more authoritative assembly . , It . was now that intestine discor ^ arose : the mbyement stood in a proud position on , , the last day of the National Convehtioii—it was strong and united within itself , and , so long , no hostile power dared assail it . It was inviolable , because of that strength
and union . The very fact of the fortifications in the metropolis , of the artillery , cuirassiers , and infantry ; of the yeomanry and armed police ; of the almost ceaseless Cabinet Councils ; of the arming of the aristocratic portion of the middle class , headed by the aristocrats of the courtly precincts of West London ; of the marshalling of those working men as constables , whom fear of losing their employment had coerced into an outward semblance of support , but could not mould into an efficient sympathy ; and all this against an unarmed , peaceful , and legal assembly of the people , in- j tending no violence , and demanding
constitutional rights by constitutional means , was a homage paid to our power , and a tacit admission on the part of . the governing faction , that the bulk of the popular feeling was against them . Well might the . Attorney-General say at my ^ trial that : — " We had caused them many a sleepless night . " But when division 'and discord had been sown among our ranks ; when a separation had taken Silace between , « ' moral force men " and " physical orce men ; " when the breach grew wider every day ; ' when , out , of one hundred delegates summoned , only sixty came to the Assembly ; when its Hall was made the arena for personal contention ;
when some of those who aspired to reform the laws of their country , actually began to discuss whether their doing so was , or was not , illegal ; when , in the acrimony of debate , some of the rival speakers accused the Chartist body of weakness ,: and , in tho very presence of the government r ^ jorters and spies , anatomised its every foible , in order to strengthen their own position ;—nay ! when the people , paralysed by- the contention of the rival principles , and led from the main question by their abstract theories , ceased to uphold the Assembly from without ;—when , even the money for itf support became deficient ; then the 'Whig faction saw it was the hour to strike ;—it said : "They are
fighting among themselves ; they will not have time to parry our blows-sow crbsb thbm ! " ; But , I ask you , had that assembly met in its full numbers ; had the working classes poured up the voice of their sympathy from far and near ; had they withheld from the gin palace the money that would have' given vigour to their Democratic Senate ; had that senate been united within itself ; bad it but acted up to its motto of carrying out " measures , " instead of quarrelling , about " men , " and discussing about vague theories ; had the stream of popular feeliney arid the enunciation of popular will , "been manifested , day by day , from . hundreds of gatherings ; had every town marshalled its thousands fronrbne end of Britain to the other , all lifting the ' and tending to the had
sameory same object ; they all pronounced the inviolability of their representatives , and the determination to uphold their cause ; had they arrayed this peaceful phalanx of unarmed petitioners in the presence of bankrupt trade and of paralysed speculation ; then , I ask you , would the ' usurping faction have dared to strike?—or , would not their blows have recoiled iipon themselves ?—or , - could more have been plunged into prisons under that course , than have been tortured under the course pursued ? But , in the fece of Europe , in the face of the revolutionary world of 48 , m the face of the English people , to whom every day would : have brought fresh strength : every hour have added new recruits : —where is the hami that would have 'dared to assail us , while we maintained the attitude of neace . tho' we disolaved
the attributes of power ? The answer is given by the inviolability of the Convention ; the language of which was far stronger than that of the . Assembly , while the fear of the cabinet was greater , as proved by their armed panic during its continuance . And what do you suppose would have been the result of the struggle ? , Would not that middle-class that seen the necessity for mock-concession in the hour of our weakness , have been doubly forced into sincerity in the time of our strength ? Would not . that cabinet , that ever panders to the trown of power , but ihsokntly spurns the petition of the numbie
, hare been glad to compromise for us existence bj the recognition of our rights ? The means , the material , the plan . was there : —onco more they are ready to our hands : let them not bo again misused . . . ; 'Jt . appearstome to have become the fashion to run down the public position assumed by the majorities in the Convention and the Assembly :: I refuse to join in the outcry .

Thug ; much for the pastsPermit me now to say a few words with regard to the present . I believe the elements : of ; progression , ' and the sources of democratic influence , . to have been never before in so abundant and promising a state as now ; I believe the Chartist body to have been , never imbued With a more healthy " feeling , for rtey understand lAeir jx > Mon . Atatim ' e when , the middle classes are ' making hnparaUeled efforts to entice them from the stronghold of their principles , and to dilute and nullify their energy by an admixture with themselves , the peeple ^ ee more distinctly than ever that they are engaged in a struggle of the . poor against the ri ? bi—of the latterior , monopoly , of the former for existence ; and that the lamb cannot league in safety with the wolf until his , fangs have been
drawn ny tne nana or the Charter . Wearestrong enough to assume a proud and independent position . To prove this , I do not allude to " the paying members j" I do not allude to the local and district organisation—that has , probably , been much impaired , and is not yet reconstructed ; nor has it ever been carried out in an effective manner : but I point to the feeling in the public breast ; I point to the mass of misery ; to tho debts , poors rate , and taxation ; to the ruined farmers , and their starving serfr , ; I point to the frustrated hopes of the poor ; to tbijj ; broken promisesof the rich ; I point to the re-arb ' uWng of the public mind after its re-actkmary lull ; 1 pomt to tho death-struggle between the Whigs and ^ Tories ; to the bankrupt traders ; to the fawning middle class ; to the erasm ' nfir masters , and
the famished men ; I point to the re-awakening of Europe—and , I say ^ here are the materials of victory ! Shame to the sectional movements and petty ambitions , that would dissipate them into chaos , when they might build them into a world of order ! Against that are arrayed merely types , shadowa , and figures ; jailors , who sympathise with their prisoners ; bludgeoneers , who revolt at their hard and servile lot ; soldiers , who wince at the lash , and who likewise begin to claim their share in the common rights of the citizen ; timid statesmen , who fear to moot a cabinet question , lest it should upset their cabinet ; Pharisees and money-changers , who quarrel in the temple , but are afraid to come to blows , in presence of their mutual foe—the people ! To nrocrastirta'te— 'to put off the hour of
reckoningto linger on from session to session is their boldest hope ! ' Basking iu the last sunshine of their expiring day , they vote your' annual thousands for tAevr pauper princes , and their royal palaces , and their royal apartments ; they discuss the words of an unmeaning oath , ' and forget Christianity in the discussion ; . while they are chopping , logic , their Irish yktimsare ^ chopping nettles ; while tbeyjare disputing ; ppmts of law , half agnation is at'the point of death ;—but society is fast'ripening towards a change , and I warn them , that the shout of freedom of' 48 , compared with «• the trumpet that has yet to sound , " is but as the lisping of a child contrasted with the roaring of a giant . Such appears to me the experience of the Past , and the aspect of the Present . A glorious Future
is before us , but it has its perils . The most important question which the immediate Future proposes , is our union with the Middle-Class , and support of Middle Class Reforms . We ought never to make , an enemy where we can honourabl y make a friend ; but we ought never to make a friend by the sacrifice of a just principle . We may gloze over our support of middle class measures as we please , but the result is a virtual and practical abandonment of principles , if we support half-measures . We may lay the salve . . to our consciences , that we will still agitate for the Charter afterwards—have you never contemplated that " afterwards' ' may be too late!—that we shall be met at the very threshold of the agitation with the words : —" Have we not given you what youj
wanted ? You joined us for this , and now you ve got it . '—we cannot have such constant changes and commotions ; back to your toil , and leave politics to us I" Do you not see that the middle class cannot do without Reforms ; that there are too many monopolies ; that there is too much misery pressing on them to permit them to tolerate the present system ; but , THAT . IHEr CANKOXAWBB It WITHOUT 00 ft hbip ? If we grant that help on any terms less than those that will enfranchise labour , and place it beyond the grasp and power of capital , do you not see that we are lost ; Do you not see that their half measures are the very things to give power to the middle class , without giving it to at , and that , the stronger they grow the weaker vie become ? Can you doubt that as soon as they have carried the
measures thai will relieve themselves—as soon as they have placed their own interests in safety they will deny us those concessions which would render us independent of . their class?—and if now , while the middle class are still , in part oppressed , we find such difficulties in the mere assertion of our rights , how much more difficult should we not find the ofctainment of them , when we ourselves have helped to place them on the pinnacle of power ? It is but trickery in the middle class to say ,- when advocating their exclusive , self-benefiting Reforms , that * they cannot carry a larger measure at present !" for middle class and working class united , can carry ant measuub thbt " choosk ! And . indeed , the time is fast cowing when the middle class will raise the loudest watchword of liberty . ' 3 W will speak
in far more violent language than that , for which I , and better men than I , have been immured in felons' gaols ; "They will go far beyond the Charter in their wordyeloquencel They will talk of B . % - POBfcics—blue , black , and grey 1 They will even whisper "Bra !" ' They will talk glibly of" Social Rights , " and : " independent labour ! " They will stir the masses by highaouhding sentiments , and democratic theories . - . and such is often the error of the : people , that , perhaps , the real democrathe - who tries . to steady the public mind , and to fix those slippery champions to a definite and practical recognition of a well-defined right , to a distinct and unequivocal object—he who tries to keep them to the point , or rather the site points / the foundation of all the rest ) when they
would cloud it with vain and fiery declamation , will be hooted from the people ' s platforms , by the people ' s own voice , ns an obstructive—as a pander te that fatal" half reform , " which it is his very object to prevent ! But , no matter—the path of duty is clear ; and I , , for one , intend to follow it . I am opposed to , and shall ever oppose , all union with the middle class , and all support of middle class measures , in reference to the franchise , short of the Charter ; but I would still wish to conciliate them ; I would hot seek to increase class hate , and thu » pfrpeiuate class distinction ; but the mode of conciliating them should be , not by truckling to their prejudices—not by surrendering our rights , or by flying from our demands—trnth never veils her brow , or hides her head I—wo should conciliiate
i them by showing that those rights and those demands are fully compatible with their , own welfare , and ,. indeed , the only guarantee for their own | safety—by teaching them that home trade , their great want , can alone be created—that pauperism and taxation , their great ml , can alone be lessened by the overthrow of all monopolies' that the worst and most deadly of all monopolies is the monopoly of the franchise , because it is the foundation and bulwark of all the others—and that nothing short of the Charter eati remove this monopoly ; and by temperately , yet firmly insisting , that we will not help them to redress thmr grievances , mletSthey help us to redresi ovr own , But , at a time when the Protectionists' mayj » mi % return to power , when the trading classes will certainly be struggling for existence—at the time when the game is in your own hands—do not , for heaven ' s

I call on you , by no violence of expression , ' no intemperance of advocacy , to give a colour to the accusation which the rich and their decoy-ducks try to bring against of
the democracy England , i ney will endeavour to identify us with theories with which we have nothing in common ; to make us accountable for actionsrwhich we have never participated in or sanctioned ; to ally ^ us with men and parties to whom we are utter strangers ; to brand us with sentiments abhorenttoourhearts ; whatever there is most prejudice against , whatever is most reviled , and whatever is most hated , ' with that they will try to identify our movement . You play into their hands , if you give a colour to the accusation .

saoaeem id unnecessary aaverc wnac might have been considered an exploded dogma , the " moral" and " physical force" doctrine , had not recent accusations and discussions proved that the Old Ghost was not yet laid . Here , again , may be the seed of discord as it was before . Some parties write " peaceful and legal" on their programmes . I give them credit for a good intention , j , too , am for peace and law ; and the Pbople ' s peace , and ihb Pbopb's law , I would defend it at any cost , against any enemies who may try to break it : but I assert , that all expressions in themselves irrelevant , but that may tend to become the watchword of a party and create division , ought most studiously to be avoided . I toll thorn that it is a mark of folly to predicate what the character of a movement may become—that this depends wholly upon circumstances beyond the control . of man—that it might be as criminal in one case to maintain Ipeace , as it would be in another to levy war—and that it
is as great a folly , in .. the face of armed oppres * sion to annouuee your intention of unconditional snbmissiveness and non-resistance , as it would be wicked on the path ofconstitutional victory , to sully it with unnecessary blood . I exhort you to crush in the . bud every attempt to raise the question of " moral" or " physical force , " trample it as you would an adder . In the speech vihwh formed the nominal ground of accusation against me , I said : " that I did not believe a sinale blow need be struck , or a drop of blood be shed by the people , to secure the triumph of Democracy iu England . " I still believe the same , because I have confidence in our strength , and hope in eur progress—but I fearlessly assert , that contiugencies might arise , under which it would be the duty of the people to arm and strike ; and I will do even the ^ 'Msu oP Submission" the justice to believe , that theyjgould do more than talk in the / 14
V ^ m ^ V . A / l JCUUUU <^ — - In advocating ' that cause , I believe it to bo necessary , that the practical and social results of the Charter should be laid before the public ; I believe , that the less enlightened portion of the working classes feel little sympathy with political rights , unless they can be made to see the result in social benefits ; I believe they do not jet fully understand the connecting link between political power an » socTAn reform ; I believe there is little use in hold * ing before them the Cap of liberty , unless you hold the bio loaf by the side of it—it is therefore , as I conceive , the duty of all advocates of Chartism and
Democracy to point to the social benefits which will result from the Charter—to show them what are the laws-and institutions that'need altering and abrogating , why they are injurious , why they must be removed , before the sufferers can be prosperous and happy , what are . the . materials out of which to construct such prosperity and happiness , and how the Charter will enable them to make that change . 1 would have them taught a knowledge of their SOCIAt rights , in order that , when they obtain political power , they may inow how to keep itand not be deceived , duped , betrayed , as the nations have so often been before .
Above all , I would have them to understand , what the experience of eighteen centuries has taught us , that political power must be obtained , before social amelioration can be enjoyed ; that co-operation , however salutary and successful , that abstinence , morality , and toil , that all the efforts of united industry and intelligence are ineffectual to remove the dead weight of misery , as long as the sharp sword of monopolising power is wielded by one dominating class . Instead of wasting your time and your energies in attempting to convert the middle class , whom nothing but self-interest will change , and whom bankruptcy , poors rates , and taxation , are fast converting , direct all your attention to your own order there is room enough for conversion in that—loofc at the agricultural serfs ; look at the labourers on
our railways , in our mines , and docks , in our barracks , arsenals , and ships ; look at Ireland with its desolated misery—convert these—try to form an union tvith these—and you will need bo truckling to any haughty class , that basks under tho golden sunshine of prosperity . t The Poor nous win the battle of thb Poor . Brother Chartists JI have spoken freely and without reserve of those subjects on which I thought a clear understanding most necessary . I shall [ now shortly have tho pleasure of visiting you in several of your localities , pusuant to the invitations with which I have been honoured , ; I shall then be able to exchange views with you more fully than at present . My last words on leaving the dock at Newgate , were The Charter ahd No Subrbkder 1 " 1 will now take a prouder watchword : — The Charter ahd Victor * .

Loss or the Corsair Emigrant Ship . —This noble vessel , nearly one thousand tons burden , was , we regret to say , totally lost on her last outward passage on the eastern banks of Newfoundland , with a very near sacrifice of all the passengers . The ship , which was the property of Messrs . Pollock and Co ., of Glasgow , sailed from Liverpool in the latter part of May last for New York , carrying out 300 emigrants . After a passage of thirty-five days she was making for the south-east point of the Banks of Newfoundland , when she unfortunately struck on some rocks . There was a strong swell running inwards , causing tho ship to thump
tremendously , soon battering in her bottom , ana ra « 80 » filling her . The preservation of the » a"ued passengers was the first care of the master and oacers . A rope was got to the shore , thus enabling the crew to place the emigrants safely on tlieland Subsequently the vessel was eurrounded J ? » gang of desperate wretches , whe » phm * «^ : « "jggf of the passengers of everything that was valuable .
