TO TfiE . MEMBERS OF 'THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY .. ( Coni & ud from our First page J Mr O'CorilfH ^ jp lied , that . the fact of hw allotment rM ; having . been cultivated since-Adam was alittle boy , would add considerabl y to its value , as old sward was the most valua . ble gro u nd , as he had frequently stated . Th at , as for the flood , it was a romance . He had superintended the making of a . road through / that very ground during the . wet months of November and December , and it was never flooded ; and as to the roots , he begged to tell
the Conference , that in that district , so hi gh , was the price of coals , that he could have got . every root grubbed , and well grubbed , upon < the condition that the labourer should have them for his trouble , Mr Doyle was the person who superintended that work , a nd he would be best able to reply to that portion of the question ; but , so far from nothing being , done to the allotment , it was every bit pared , b u t n o t burned , asthe season would not permit , and for the most simple of all reasons : two deputations of the London members , whohad been balloted for Minster , waited upon me
and pressed the necessity of being located early in March . Well , now , it app e a rs tha t that was not the fit season . I foolishl y yielded to their app lic a ti o n , or otherwise the whole . of that land would have been burnt . And now , Mr D o y le shall speak for himself . Mr Doyle . — " Why , Gentlemen , there never was anything so unfair as Mr Beattie'a charges . There was a thorn tree here and there in Mr Seattle's allotment ; the stumps were every o ne grubbed , but I had not horsepower at the time sufficient to remove them and it was an understood thin ? with him and ; others that they should have them for removing them to behind their cottages . "
After Mr Doy le h a d c oncl u ded , a man , of the n a me of H a ll , one of the carters at Minster Lovel , reminded Mr Doy le _ that he ( Hall )> had removed with horses all the roots behind-Beattie's house . And now I come to Mr Se at tle ' s second onslaught . Mr Beattie rose again on Thursday evening , and after a repetition of his melancholy tale inquired when he was to receive the 3 Z . 15 s . additional Aid Money , for the performance of labour u pon his allotment ?
Mr O'Connor rep lied , that every day new li ght was beaming upon him , and he now begged to ask Mr Beattie a few questions * The first was—he begged to know whether it was true , or not , that Mr Beattie had produced carrots as large aa his leg , and as long as his leg , in thi s Adam ' s Paradise that would grownothing—and had sent them all over the kingdom a s samples ? Mr Beattie . —It is quite true . - Mr O'ConroA—Well , my next que s tion is > whe '? , er Mr Beattie has let any portion of his allotment , and how , much , and at . how much rent ? Mr Beattie . —Yes , I have let three acres . Mr O'Connor . —At what rent ?
Mr Beattie .-13 / . a-year . ( Shouts of ' . ' Oh . " > Mr O'Connor . —Now , then , 1 am enabled to show to the Conference , this man ' s solemn position , as Powell , t he s py , said . . This man , who has told us such a pathetic tale , is now in posse s sion of a most s plendid c ott ag e , of one a creof prime land , ' a profit rent of 3 l . a-year , for his rent wiUriot be more than 10 /; He has had 30 J . of the Company ' s money , and he wants dl . 15 s . more . Need I say another word ?' ( Cries of " Shame , shame . " ) . Mr Beattie . —But there are rates and taxes .
Mr O'Connor . —Rubbish , sir : 3 / . a-year , a house , an acre of ground , and the loan of 30 Z . to pay rates and taxes upon three acresof land without a house . Gentlemen , w ill not the fact of this rent at once establish for you . the value of this Plan ? The estate at Minster cost 30 / . an acre . Those three acres that hehr . i let will be struck at an avevage of about-28 / ., so that three times 28 / . aye 84 / . ; therefore for the 134 / , expended—for ' -ie man has no house—the tenant pays 13 / . a-year rent , or nearly sixteen per cent ., up o n the ou t l a y
and I warrant he got none of the roots—that his comp laint of the flood will not be listened to , and that he will never be a day behind ! with his rent . I have received an Address ,, which was published in the " Northern Star , signed , I think , by over sixt y o f the ei g hty allottees , expressing , as you are aware , the strongest possible faith in the Plan , thankful ,, but not complaining , while now the stability and practicability of the Plan is to be jud ged by the exhibition you have just seen . ( Hear , he a r , ) [ I mi ght have added—but I was not aware of it at the time—that this Mr Beattie is
a pensioner , receiving 18 / . 5 s . a-year from the Go v ernment , and I was told b y one of his neighbouring allottees , on Saturday morning ,, that , fo r every d a y ' s work Bea tt ie did , he did six , and that he spent most of his money upon SOMETHING more gratifying than labours It would be impossible to describe the sensation that Mr Beattie ' s confession created in the Conference . !
And now let us see the actual position o £ t his much injured man , juggled by Feargug O'Connor and- the Land Company . He has a co t t a ge good enough f o r any m a n in Euro p e 'to live in—an acre of good ground—received 30 ? . capital—has three pounds a-year , profit rent—' and 18 / . 5 s . a-year income . How many honest ,, industrious men , I think I hear earnestly ex . claiming , I wish I had the much-injured Mr Be a ttie ' s comp laint . "
I now come to a consideration of the general charges p r eferred b y Mr Edwards , the member for Devonshire . He opened his interrogatories by stating that he was compelled to doso by the express desire of his constituentsthat he did so with great reluctance ; but as the charges had been extensivel y c ir c ul a ted throughout the whole of Devonshire , by a person who worked at Snig ' s End : and who , if he
was employed for the purpose , could not have done more injury to the Land Plan , as he was a holder of sixteen shares in the Company ; and further , his evidence was corroborated by another person now located upon that estate . He begged to say that he did not believe one of those ch a rges , while at the same time he was bound to his constituents to bring them forward : — .
"The first was , that the shareholders who worked at Snig ' s End , had seen a ploughmaa for an hour and a half resting upon the beam of his plough , and doing no work . " The second was , that the carters , while engaged in drawing stones and other things , stopped at the Feathers public-house , and ther e g ot drunk , in company with Mr Cul » l i ng ham , the overseer . " The third was , that MrLawrence received 30 * . a week for superintending his own men ? who wew engaged in laying the foundations . 1 v he fourth was , that there had been great wr Tuof & tComP ? ny ' P roP « ty . . > Ihe fifth was , that Mr Tay lor , painter , the inlaw of
son-- Mr CuJlingham , received 3 / . aweek as his wages . And he would now add ,, his disappointment at not sec ' . ng counsel present at the Conference , as promised b y Mr O Connor , to aid them in their deliberations-His instructions , as regarded the re-election o . Directors , uas to vote for the whole body e x cept- Mr O'Connor ; and he was prepared with an estimate , from a builder in Devonshire , t 0 a a * l e cotta ges ^ a much lower rate , ¦ Another charge was , that when the cottages were finished , and before the occupants took possession of them , tradesmen and labourers were put in , and were allowed to burn the timber and roots that ought to have been preserved for the occupants .
Mr O'Connor in repl y said , " I will answer those several charges seriatim . "Firstly . —Withregardto the man resting on his p lough , it was a mere fabrication . " Secondly , —As regards the carters skulking their work- and getting drunk at the Feather ? , it was an impossibility that they could have done s o wi t hout coming to his ears , and that thejr could not have discharged their allotted day ' fiwork .

THE VICTIMS OF WHIUGERY . THE CHARTIST FLAG AGAIN UNFURLEDLast Saturday ' s No & thbbn Stab , contained an a c c ount o f the conclus io n of t h e tr ia l o f Mwains , the last—( may we say the last . ?) of the victims of Messrs Russell , Powell , Grey , Davis , Jervis , and Baldwinson . George Mullins , sur ge on , aged twentytwo , was arraignci on the 26 th nit ., i n the court of the Old Bailey , on the charge of having " wickedly , and f e loniou s l y c on sp ired with William Lace y , Thomas Fay , and William Cuffey , and divers other evil-disposed persons , t o l e v y w a r and i nsurrec ti on
against her Majesty , & s ,, & o . " The miscreant Powell was the first witness examined . His evidence was similar to that given on the former trials ; and en his cross-examination he again repeated the confession of his infamous career , and the vilainous means he employed te entrap his victims . He was followed by the equally illustrious Davis , who swore' that he was present at a meeting of Chartists , at the George , in the Old Bailey , on the day that Ernest Jones waa tried , at which meeting Mullins was present , who said "it was a " shame that the prisoners should go to prison without some attempt being made to rescue them ; and that he ( Muilins ) added , that the van would go through Cow-oross on its way to
Celdbathfields , and that it would be a good place to attack it , and that he , ( Mnl ! ins ) , eaid he knew a friend , who he understood to te a man named Daly , who would lead out the Irish living in the neighbourhad for thatpurpoca . " This is a repetition of the evidence given on former trials . Our readers may remembr a letter from Mr Daly , which appeared in this journal subsquent to those trials , in which Mr Daly stated that at the time of Jones ' s trial he wes netin London , having left England for Francs five weeks beforei Mr Jones was arraigned . Can any one doubt that the speech ascribed to Mullins bv Davis is a gross mention of that " respectable witne ^" Davis , it npp ; ars , recommended the Greenwich Chartistto rovide themE

Early text month the winter assizes will commence , and it is to b f e a red th at t h e ir termination will gee a new list of victims consigned b prisoc torture . That phrase , ''' prison-torture , " is by no means an exaggeration—witness tke tuatment of Dr M'Douall , who has had his hair" out close , is clothed in the prison dnss , surfers solitary confine , meat , and is only psrmitt : d to leave his cell to take
open-air exercise one hour out of the twenty-four . His food need not ta denoted , suffice it to say , it is , we balieve , not worse than that on which the victUnaofourPoar Law systom are abstained . When taking exercise , Dr . M'Dauall is pissed in the midst of a gang of felons and transports . Suob , at least , was the treatment the D «> i' ^ r experienced day by day , immediately at ' tor his conviction , and we have not heard of any change for the bUer . He is to ba allowed to wrirD or receive a letter only once in three months , and the sight of his wife and children will be limited to the same degree of indulgence . Ernest Jones , Vernon , and their fellow-prisoner were permitted , during the first three months ef their captivity , to correspond with their familits once afoitnight . That poor privilege has ben withdrawn , and all correspondence cut off between the victims and their families .
The trials of the Scottish Chartists have commenced . On . Tuesday last J / mss Ctuamo was arraigned before the High Court of Justiciary , in Edinburgh , on a charge of " contravening " the " Act lately passed . for . the better security of the Ciown and Government . " There are minor charges oi "conspiracy" and " cedition . " The Crown lawyers have teken ex j to make their net so wide , that a chanco of complete escape from their meshc ns hardly to be hoped , for . Toe prinoiprl charge ia preferred
under the recently-enacted' » Gagging Bill , " and if convict ] oh that charge we fear it will go bard with the defendant .: Mr Cummino is a ; man highly respected by his order , and he well deserves that reapect . Some legal objections ftiken to the indictment at the commencement of the trial , ojorsioned an adjournment Of the case for forty-eight hours . A full report of this and the other Scottish trials will Loiiven in next Saturday's Star . We remember to have seen amongst the mottoes en Chartist
banners"The mora tho orael tyrants bind us , The more onlted they shall find ue . " ' ' Now is the time to exhibit the sincerity of . those who have so often gathered under that motto . Freshwater sailors and feather-bed soldiers are not mere contemptib'e thanare those politicians who , when the storm of persecution sweeps over the land , basely ower before the blast , and , latent only on their own safety , abandon the advocacy of the principles they heretifore professed . The sunshine patriots have , of caurc-j , deserted the Chartist colours , since it nas become dangerous to ta known as a Chartist . Bat there are some men—many , we are happy to > ay—who are made of sterner stuff , and those men ar e r a ll y in g round the old standard .
W e dir e s t the a tt e n t i o n of our readerst o a re p ort of a mOst important meeting held a few days ago at Birmingham , for the purpose of considering the present position of the Chartist patty , and the means to be adopted for the resuscitation of the movement . We have not space now to discuss all that was said and done at t ha t mee t in g , but we shall return to the subject , most likely in next Saturday ' s Stab . _ For the present , we confine ourselves to an expression of our extreme gratification at finding a spirit of fraternal zeal like that exhibited at the meeting in question , yet animatiag men who , in virtue of their talents , and because of their long tried services , poses' s a wide popularity and well-deserved influence over the working classes . We have faith that our patriotic friends will succeed in once again organising the Chartist party , and we de not despair of seeing even a better organisation than has any time existed since the Charter first saw the light .
Chartism is not dead ; our enemies may make up their minds to believe that" g reat . fact . " Proofs of the vitality and reviving energies . of Chartism might be enumerated at some length , but we will limit ourselves to two facts . At the Glasgow municipal elections , which have just taken place , Mr James Moir entered the lists against Whig wealth , power , a ud influence , and he triumphed . His triumph , too , has been no common victory . He was returned at the head of the poll , leaving his defeated rival , Alexander Hutie , Lord Provost and M . P . for M City of Glasgow (!!!) in the unenviable position of " last on the list . " This is a ' great triumphgfor the Glasgow Chartists and a mortifying defeat for tbe Whigs . At Sheffield sbvkh Chariisis havb been retobnkd ioiHE Tows-cousciii 1 Glory to the good men and true of that old garrison of democracy !

The New Quack Agitation. A Lachrymose La...
THE NEW QUACK AGITATION . A lachrymose lamentation over the mischief caused b y " perverted agitation , " and a laudatory notice of a . " s a lutar y ag it a tion , " appears in the Times of Thursday . It commences by stating that the peculiar isolation of classes which characterises English society , deprives the vast bulk of the population of these advantages which a less restricted in . tercoursebetweendifferent grades would ensure ; and asserts , as a consequence of the deprivation of these advantages , that the multitude , left ta the " silent panderings of uninstruoted ignorance , o r the blind impulses of reckless passion , offers , a ready instrument of credulous confidence to the presumptuous Socialist , or the designing knave . " The people , therefore , " attach themselves to the vain promulgators of idlecrotoMa , or the interested dw „ aeminators of hireling quackeries . " The Times adds , that '' the mischief already great ; bids fair to become more formidable , " unl e ss the edu ca ted cl asses will interpose the mediation of their sound judgment .
That there maybe no mistake as to the nature of the " idle crotchets and hireling quackeries" which ar e cond e mn e d , the questions most generally mooted and discussed in the manufacturing towns , and populous districts of the country , are shovelled together in a depreciatory paragraph , couched in that peculiar style of elegance which places the Times at the head of the Billingsgate press . A more equitable system of Land Tenure , and such an apportionment of the soil and lat ) ur of the country , as would ensure constant remunerative labour , and a large increase of focdand raw material upon which to support and employ other labour ; a sound and whelesome Currency , based upon the real wealth which it ought to represent , and capable of expansion in proportion as
that wealth increased , and of contraction as it diminished ; a change in the law of Primogeniture and Entail , by which the land wonld be released from the artificial fetters which now look it up from the people , and be brought into the market in the same manner as any other commodity ; the abolition of class privileges and class legislation , in order that all the inhabitants of the country may be placed in that equitable political position , which the constitution abtraot : ~ lly guaran : J . The : o and similar important and at least reasonably debatsable measures , are decried by the Puddle lock Thunderer , in its most approved style . They are " the wildest theories of ssnal change , the strangest nostrums of political ugeneration "— ' fluent claptrap , " which sadly
itapomon taefcnorant and credulous dupes who listen to their expounders . , The Times , however , is lucky , ani the people of England more lucky still . Puddle Vc & has found an agitation and asi'itors altogether according to its own heart . We aro now able , on this high authority , to anure our reader that the c . ie ef Great Britain is not entirely hopjlcs ; there is yet a chance of eur salvation from utter perdition by means of a really intelligent , practical , and rrlutary agitation , which enjoys the distinguished pat : jnajje of the Times . . These agitators aro the Colonisation Society , and the object for which they cm ? on their agitation is simply to promote the wholesale expatriation of the peoplefrom England to Australia and other British
colonies . This it is which is to change the aspc it of British Eosioty , cs with a magic wand , and to stand es a substituteifor all the scsial , political , and financial reforms which au considered necessary by those who have most carefully examined the working of our internal ai . Jngements , rxd most profoundly studicJ the soiehb of society ! . Truly the Tarsals almost sublime in its audacity . It is difficult to tell Which to b most surprised ai , the measures it condemns in ito own fluent slang , or that it r e c omm e nd s with such exaggerated panessiia . We ha . j one eonaolation—nrraely , that it is so notoriously an unnfeand vacillating political guide , that nobedy possessing theler-. t emount of common
r : r :. ois likely to pay the 8 l . 3 bi :: t . attention to its v : v ommemlations . " It is everything by turns , and nothing Ion ?; " and we should net be at r'l surprised , before the moon ohang . j into the next quarter , to find rhatithci oast off and utterly repudiated i'i new pet and protegee .- If a more likely candidal for popular favour wn to start up in the intirim , the transfer of t h e p atrona g e of Puddle . Dock would be easily effected . ~ . With all deference to the sages of that classic region , however , we be , ? to demur as to i * i Cwofold argument on this occasion . We do not agree wfth its summary aud flippant condemnation of many ei ^ ve and yitalsceial and political questions , to whichTnu ^ ho attention has been more or lees directed of late years ; nordo we ( hinkjlirt "agitation" is likely

to be directed into- more " salutary " , channels by " the educated classes , " if the agitations patronised by the Times , are to ' be taken as samples . We nil resnember how it snubbed the Anti-Oorn Law Agitation , " unti \ one morning it woke to the perception that the League was a " great fact , " andoommencsd an " advocacy of its principles and objc itsi which speedily distanced all competitors . That agitation sucrcried . We may how , without presumption , ask— " Has it turne J out to have been the agitation of ' men of intellijenco and station , * who were capable of taking apiV : tieal viowoftheciuc ^ a which pre luce national distre : s and difficulties , atl applying a commensurate remedy V or , hes it rot proved to be , indeci , the "hollow quackery-fluent
clap-trap , " and "Idle crotchet , " which the Times stigmatises ?" If Free Trade had realised the promises which the Times and its supporters slid it would , the : j would now have been no necesjity for their starting another " agitation ; " It has completely broken down ; and now . ' the' very party whoso lately deluded the people into the adoption of " clap-trap , " and " quackery , " come forward , and with eof : rlative impudence offer another . dose equally delusive , because founded upon the same falcshc : > . ! . > We have I : fore s > id , and cannot t : i frequently repeat , that the-Rep : a ! of the Com Laws , and Foreign Emigration , bath rat upon the same resumption : that is , that Greot Britain and Ireland are
overpopula f' 1 , and incapable of supplying food to all their iahabitanta from the cultivable surface of both islands . Therefore , eaid the Leasee and the Time i , let us bring fod from abroad t ) supply the deficiency . That has Via tried and found' wanting , and now the Times and the Colonisation Sniety , still assuming the same point—say , let . us transport the " surplus people , " tj provide food for themselves abrcad . We have just one reply b all the humbug that may be spou ! : d or written on this subjut . The first proposition , on whioh all the others are b :-: l , is not true . Grr , t Bri * iin and Ireland K J capable of supporting a population at least lour fold grea * or than it is at present . The only way h terminal inconvenient agitations , is for the Legislature ft
initiate meriui ; s which wu ; permit this t ) be gradually and naturally done . The true way to perpetuate them , is to favour fair ? , unound , ehort-s ^ hHd schemes , which leaving the cauccs of social evil still untouched , must ^ necessarily fail , and at the same time in a thousand ways add to the ' . misery they are proferxdly brought forward to cure . When next the Times talks of " hireling qunkeries , " let it remember the gigantic and c ; t , Vy machinery by which ' the' Ler ^ ue caiiied . out i'i quackery , and deluded the people and the legislate j into the adoption of a measure , which It was hoped would not only give wealth moie rapidly to the manufacturing interests , bat , in the words of John Bright , vest the government of England in Lancashire and Yorkshire . They pretended , indeed , risuch quacks always do , that it wn not their own benefit they sought , but that of the ennntry , though they
could not deny that they expected to bs primarily and immediately rewarded for their services by the increased demand for manufactures which they anti . oipated . Short-sighted selfishness has been disappointed , n usual , in their case . Is it likely to be otherwise in that which the Times has now taken up ? It admits that the quacks , who are now running about the country crying up Australian Emigration , have an interest in promoting it . That very admission ought to make the poor people ot this country cautious and scrutinising . Heaven knows we have no lack of selfish patriots of this class ; and , above all in conclusion , we do not see that the conversion of two or three hundred thousand emigrants into shepherds in Australia , is to prove a panacea for all the grievances of the people of this country , or to remov e the b urd e ns fr o m th e ir shoul d ers , which are now felt by millions to be unendurable . The Times has merely "founda mare ' s nest . "
A Judas. On Wednesday, We Received The F...
A JUDAS . On Wednesday , we received the following letter through the post : — Scotland Y are " , Whitehall . i , Bridge Street , Westminster . November 7 lh , 1918 . Sis , —It has Just struct me that Mr Feargug O'Connor must be wrong , when tie stated ( with respsot to Mr Ernest Jones , ' when elected one of the Chartist Executive , and holding a situation ob the Stab at one and the same time , ) that it was impossible for a man to serve two masters , and Ernest Jones became thedismisied editor . My object ia ~ writing this is to show that the
Great 0 is wrong , for I have served him and the Government well at one and the same time for months . Trusting that the Great 0 ' wiU , for the future , have the fear of Gad before bis eyes , and a better respect for the law , I am , yoars , & c , Year Dismissed Reporter , ' ( not lit SttJlwood , ) Or otherwise , an Agent 'for the bettor preserve , tion ef Perce , law , and Order . ' In th e ori gi n a l t he w ri ter has d rawn his p en through the wotds" Scotland Tard , Whitehall ; "the second place ef address appears to have been an after , thought . We suppose the letter to have been written — as prjfessed — by our "d ' smissed reporter , " one Mr Reading . Indeed the handwriting leaves no rcom for doubt as to the author . It will ba seen that this
fellow boasts that he w £ 3 for months in the pay of the government , at the very time that he was receiving Mr O'Connor's money as a uporter for the Star . We can now understand how it happened , that not a week pa « sei during the time of Mr Reading ' s " services" that we had not to cancel one-half or twe < thirds of his reports , inconsequence of the outrageous sedition they contained . There cannot be a doubt entertained , that this fellow wc . employed to entrap us into the publication of " editions" — and , if possible , " treasonable matter ; " employed too , arhe says , BY THE GOVERNMENT ! Thank ' God , he now belongs to the government altogether . We whh Lord John Russell and Sir George Gbx ; joy of their bargain .
But a word ofoautiontoLird John RtssKn . We know from the best authority that his friend Mister Rbadiko tried b incite men to aasasainato his lordship . By Way of a stimulant he was in the habit of adding , that" but for the fact oi having a wife and children , he himself ( Reading ) would blow out the b——y brains of Lord Joks Russbll . " We have a variety of such anecdotes , whioh can be well authenticated , at his lordship's service , The above lettar is about asccola piece of barefcoed impudence as ever was perpetrated even by a Whig spy . Rsally- "the Government agents for the better preservation of Peace , Law , and Order" are a choice lot . Oh that "In every honeit hand were plajed a whip , To lash the rascals naked through the world , "
