      ,, __ - PARLIAMENTARY REFORM . : ; . A Sunday paper which , has , recently shown itself . anxious to establish a character . for priority of _infoi-raation , especially with respect to Ministerial movements and intentions , ' inr formed its readers that it is the intention oi ; the Gbvernirient to propose ? "a large extension of the , Suffrage , early in the ensuing _iSession . " The Times copied the paragraph on

      Mondaythus giyiug it a semi-official 8 anction- --and on Tuesday had a leader , in which it treated the rumour as a ? fact . Not being ? in , the ? secret purselyG 8 , Ave can only guess at the amount of credence to be : given ; to the rumour .:.- _ftfe firmly ; believe , that if Ministers were left to themselves , it would turn out to be . wholly unfounded , and that-not the slightest / alteration of ; our representative . institutions , would be proposed by them . ? , _.: * . : v : '

      But they are notto be left so . The great City meeting on MoMay , of the National _. Reform Association , was an auspicious and vigorous _commencement of , the campaign , chalked : out for this year , and cannot fail to produce a strong impression in official circles . The report may , therefore , turn oiit ? not to be untrue , but merely anticipatory . ' Every , one knows how . squeezeable" the "Whigs aro , and with what tenacity they cling to office . Perhaps they will prefer to keep their places , and give way to the popular demand , rather

      than resist it , and be ? turned but with the disgrace ? " of ihaying opposed aii extension of constitutional rights ., to the people .. They must know—if they know anything at all—or are able to look beyond the mere occurrences of the homy * that to , he . driven from ; office upon such . a , questionj ? would constitute , a ground for their perm __ inentV , future _^ ex clusion from power ; , and' it is . not improbable ,. therefore , that finding it impossible to stem the current , they will attempt to ? divert it into ? channels more safe and easily guiddd for party purposes , than those it now runs in . ?? '¦ ' ?' . ' , '*''

      : This appears to , us . one of the great rocks a-head of the National Association . Of its ultimate—aiid not distant—success , we think there can be no doubt , . if it consistently and vigorously carries out _tWpohcy it has laid down . But the danger is , tiiat the ruling " factions , seeing the certainty of this termination to its _labom-s _, may coalesce for . the time- being _^ to offer a delusive a ; nd ? deceptive measure of Re- ' presentative Reform , which , while it "keeps the word of promise to the ear , will break it ; tp the . hope . " They may calculate on thereby taking-the wind out of tho sails of the _Asso " _. ciation . _' ' They may seduce the more M moderate " and faint-hearted of _its' friends ? and

      supporters , ; who possess , the greatest a , mount ' of wealth and influence ; and having thus thinned the ranks and diminished the power of the Association , may induce it to lend its sanction to a specious sham . ¦ ' ? . _"•'; _" ? , ' . "¦? . ' . ' If any such Machiayelian policy is attempted by the Goyerhmeht , _?\ ye shall beon the watch to proclaim it—to warn the Association : of the trap that is laid for it , and to prevent , as far as our power extends , either it or the people from falling . ' into the snare . ? ' _Weishall ! look with very great suspicion indeed upon any pro posal emanating from Lord John . Russell ' s Administration . Mr . Samuel Mobley—an

      eiminent and wealthy , city _merchants who moved'the first resolution at the London Tavern , on Monday—7 fe ] icitously and most forcibly , described the aristocratic tendencies and reactionary character of the present Premier . Whenever the interests of his own order appear to hini to ' clash . with , thbs _ of the people ; the latter ? "will he certain ; to be sacrificed . He has : no large or hearty sympathy with the

      masses , nor has his party . ever had since its commencement . ¦ It i _ i ? essentially aristocratic and / exclusive ; a , nd whenever it has ? advocated ppp ' ularrights , _' lias _^ do iie sol _^ erely _forpprsorial ami _pai-ty purposes _^ ,: ' It has traded / in . them as ' political capital , " whicli was useful while they ? were in -opposition' but whenever they _gwnedpowei _* , _theyhayeihyari most _uhconstitutional' and anti-popular , . party Inth ' eState , " ?? - . ??; '; :, ' - ,. _?'• ' ?; .

      PROTECTIONISTS / FREE TRADERS , ' ¦ . .: ¦ AND THE WORKING CLASSES . ' ¦ ¦ .-' The Protectionists are by no mear i so satisfied as ' to the'irrevocable nature of the law of 1846 , as Sir Robert "Peeland Mr . _^ Cobden . _^ They think that what . Parliament has done Parliament can . undo , and hence they are working very hard , in town and country , for the purpose of getting up addresses to the Queen , praying her to dissolve Parliament , in order to decide the , question by , an ; appeal to the electoral _: body , -after theyhave had some experience 83 to _theactualleffects of Free Trade .

      " 'We ; quite 'concur in the * sentiments expressed bf Mr . 0 . Connor , at the ? City . Meeting , on Monday—that it wouldbe as ; wise to talk of going back to the old jog-trot system of waggons from _our-present railways / as __ to dream bf returning to the old system of Pro- ' tectiori , though we by no means intend tb ; imply thereby that Free iTrade , in its present shape , is to be _pUced on . a ' par with railways , as respects the public benefit .

      Protection arid Free Trade , as propounded by their respect . v _- e partisans , are equally intended to promote the exclusive ? interests of particular classes .: The talk about the general interest and prosperity of the masses is mere pretence , 'the garnish by which the essential selfishness of both landlord and mill-lord is _attempted to ? be concealed from > the public . Temtorial Feudalism , and Commercial Capltalisiri are struggling which is to have the upper hand in this country in future ; 'The question is , ? as put b y ? _fi |_ - ' . Bright himself , whether the manufacturing interest or the landed interest is to govern _ius ? We think the claims of both equally worthless . ¦ ¦ . _;^<; :

      The Marquis Pf Granby , at the Leicestershire Protection Meeting , expatiated largely upon the . _sbcial evils which at present exist in the _cpiinti-y , for _theipurpose of saddling them exclusively upon Free Trade . The poor rates , according to him , have enormously increased under this system of cheapness . They now amount to -very nearly 8 , 000 , 0002 . annually . ? Granted . But does the Marquis not remember ; that in 1833 , when Protection was in its palmy days—as ¦ yet untampered with- —poor rates were equally high ? 'Yet that was when the . population was smaller by two , or three millions than it isi now , and before the AntU Corn-Law _^^ League _^? was even heard of , _^ _^ arid Its sucoes _ _v / _hadiinducedithei !

      their places _•¦<_ r SirB _(» _i-i-T-PlEBL to intro duce those ( gradual and _imdennining measures whichultimately ' brought 'this , whole fabric to the ground , Paupensm -and- ; p por . rates were therefore riot _prerented by Protection , arid we do , notsee how _thelresteratioii of the old-landlord system would / prevent . either in future . -Again _r the Marquis says . —" That Emigratibn from this ? country ; is _^ largely increasing . In the _yis-vr l £ rl 5 , _; tKere were 03 _j" 501 ; , in 1846 , 129 , 831 ¦ ; . in 1847 , 258 , 461 ; and in 1848 , there were not less than 300 , 000 left their _riat-ve'shorer . " ;; . " ? - Trembling , . h _^ tag from the _^ spoiler ' s hand-Far , far away , thy children leave the land . „ , . . : .

      ¦ Now , Emigration is no new thing . ;¦ Landlords and capitalists have , at aU times , held it , ' up as the pariacea for the g rievances inflicted bythe system they thrive upon . _^ Whenever , even under Protectionj the workers were inconveniently numerous for the owners of land and money ; the' ready : expedient was to ship them off to foreign land __^ jusi _asr Mr . ? Sidney Herbert proposes to ? _3 o now with the ? Sempstresses . Emigration , irifact ,. has been a _standing recipe with the . ruling classes for all social difficulties ; and when the Marquis of Granby talks of * ' the . childreri of the land trembling , shrinking from the spoiler ' s hand , " who does he mean by " spoilers ? " . Has riot Ireland contributed by far the largest proportion ofthe

      300 , 000 who last year left pur _shores ? > Who did the Irish fly from ? Why from their landlords , who , under Protection / had -extorted from them the lastfarthing---beggar-da _ idpaupensed tenant and labourer , ' and have now made large portibris of thecouritry " a waste , rather ? than give up political _^ ascendancy , based upon iterritorialpossessipn ,. ; Nor , are the Irish landlords alone in this nefarious _conspi _« racy _, against , the happiness , and the . prosperity of tlie cburitry . Their English brethren have , it is well known , at all times treated the labourers on _theic-estates as _^ yermin , _w'hom it was absolutely , necessary to keep down ; as much as possible . The most cruel , disgraceful , and inhuman methods "have * been resorted to

      for this purpose , in _cornpanson with which Emigration is beneficence itself . The Jabourera have been . compelled to huddle together in families , under roofs' which did not .- keep off water , and- . within crazy ? walls . whose numerous chinks ' and crannies gave free admission to the piercing winds of winter—hovels ; riot fit for piggeries . The object was to drive them from . the , ? estate , and save rates . Whether tbey ? were driven into bur large towns , to add to the desperate struggle , for existencer , which ever rages among the unemployed competitors for . the barest pittance—oi- sought that labour ; arid . _^ subsistence M other ? _lands which ?; , was denied them here , the landlords neither knew nor , cared ' sufficient foi . hem was the fact , that they had been got rid of .

      . In short ,- looking back upon the . agricultural , commercial , and social history of this countiy under Protection , we see nothing that can justif y the people in restoring to the landlords She monopoly ,, of which : they have receritly been deprived . Pauperism , criine , destitution , and misery ; prevailed ? among the masses under their sway , as it'does ribwv We have no guarantee that , if they were again in the ascendant , it . would be otherwise . On the

      contrary , they cling to the old system of land tenure and high rents . They neither promise equitable leases nor corn rents ; ' They propose no alteration whatever , that has a tendency to liberate the soil from the fetters in which it is bound by the old feudal arrangements . They wish still to retain exclusive possession of the raw _riiaterial of all wealth—the land—and to allow its , use only upon such terras as may suit their , interests and convenience . " The

      people who dwell upon a soil thus appropriated , are the virtual slaves of the apprbpriators , no matter by what name they maybe called . They have been robbed of their _birthrightr-the right to labour , and live by their labour in the land of their birth , and no subsequent arrangements , . however -ingeniously constructed , cair rectify or compensate that original injustice . . ? " - ' As regards the other party in " the contest , we candidly , confess , that we have quite as little faith in theni as iri the landlords . Free Trade in the abstract is , no doubt , ' very ? right and proper ; -but as it is now practised , or . likely to be practised in ' this country , it is _syrioriimous

      with the continued deterioration bf the working classes . , The very vastness of the productive powers at the disposal of society , increases the power of our suicidal competitive system for evil . Machinery and capital in the hands of selfish and interested persons , are used like the land for the promotion bf individual , not national interests . The question never arises , how can these immense powers be best directed , to promote the general welfare by . the abundant production ar id ' equitable distribution _, of wealth among the -whole population * - but simply How can I make the iriostof _tHem for myself ? " They are employed , not as " required by the interests of the masses , but the cphvenierice and profit of the owner .

      The Free Traders point to ihe cheapness of priceB , and the . increase , of our exports ,: as proofs of the success of their system , and of the improved condition of the people . Never was there a ? greater / fallacy . Cheapness of price does not invariably , imply at ; the . same time the power , to , purchase—increase of exports may be the result of forced sales , in which three bales Pf goods have to be given for the price of two or one . The test of ' all

      healthy trade is the profits it leaves the em-Ptoyer-r the wages it pays the worker . Tried by , that simple but conclusive criterion , it will be found that we have nothing to boast of—that the condition even of bur manufactu . « r ig population is of a very inferior ' description—that large masses of urban _labourers are sunk ! in , the deepest gulf : of misery and wretchedness , to which even the most sanguine advocates of the benefits o f Free Trade will admit they have riot penetrated ;

      . We go further , and . say . that , instead 6 f ameliorating their condition , Free Trade will aggravate it ,. and _steadfl y add to the number of those so situated . ;• _h-The essential tendency of bur preserit system is to dispense _^ tli manual labour , _^ and to cheapen the price of , machirie-made goods . The intense and eager rivalry of the capitalistswill act , as certainly as gravitation does in the . physical world , to pull down profits and

      wages always to the very ; lowest point ? But the loss _. and the misery will , in all cases , fall first and heaviest upon the worker . He has no ; hoard to fall back upon . Cut off- by the territorial system from the use of the land and deprived by capitalism of the use of machinery , tools , and raw material , by which he might employ himself , he stands naked and-unprotected in the world—the helpless slave of the classes who have appropriated the _meanB of producing wealth .

      , The mere ( faction-fights' of landlords , mili-. lbrds , and inbriey-lords ; will ¦ _.-. do nothing towards the redress of this radical evil , ; and the working classes will do well to keep aloof from both . The only method b y which ? they can hope to ' rise in the- social scale ,, is to concentrate then * . efforts , upon obtairiing . political emancipation ,. as the indispensable foiittdation upon which alone a harinpnipUB and _jiiat social _Buperatructvire paii be raised ... _;¦ : " , ' ¦ - ; ? i " - " - _*'
