Programme Adopted By The Chartist Conven...
PROGRAMME ADOPTED BY THE CHARTIST CONVENTION . Tho paramount da ty 7 f a Chartist National Convention is to promote Chartist orgamsation , _ t o keep that organisation &¦ met from every other political movement ^ fioj , -ani to spread throug h all classes political and bodal knowled ge to the utmost of their power . I iTisftherefore , resolved , fdr the better re- organisation of Chartism . :-- _ ... 1 —That since by each and all of the
fran-, chise measures now before the people ( excepting that embodied in the Charter ) , the middle class would gain far more votes than the working class would obtain , which would place the latter in a more powerless position than at presen t , the Charter must be agitated for in its entirety—that the omission of any one of its points would impair the utility of the remainder—and that , therefore , popular support must be withheld from all franchiee measures falling
short of its provisions . 2 . —That the clause in the ori ginal Bill for the Charter would be specifying that every male adult should have the vote , unless convicted of crime , be modified to imp ly a deprivation of the vote , merely while undergoing punishment for crime ; since the punishment for an offence once undergone , no after penalty ought in justice to attach to the individual . 3 . —That a National Petition for the
Charter be presented to Parliament , such petition to be prepared on the following plan : — Simultaneous meetings for passing the petition to be held in every town or borough where practicable . At such meetings two tellers to be appointed to count the numbers present ; the petition , together with a declaration affirming the numbers in favour of such petition , to be si gned by the tellers and the chairman of the meeting .
4 . —That in anticipation of a dissolution of parliament , all boroughs where the . Chartist body are strong enough to contest the election , forthwith fix on candidates pled ged to the Charter ia its entirety ; form election committees , subscribe funds , commence agitating the district , and bring their influence to bear on the constituency . That where the candidate cannot go to the poll , a Chartist be put in nomination upon every hustings in the kingdom , when it is possible to seize that opportunity for spreading Chartist knowledge . II . —Municipal and parochial power should he vested In the hands of the people , since disenfranchisement in local matters is as unjust as the restriction of the elective franchise ; therefore it is resolved : — .
1 . —That the assistance which Chartist organisation may derive from municipal and local power be not lost sight of , and that practical steps be taken in all townships and parishes ( where democratic organisation is in existence ) to contest the municipal elections . 2 . —That addresses be issued to the people , relative to municipal and parochial legislation , and that the question of municipal ! and parochial universal suffrage be brought before the public on principles analagous to those of the Charter .
III . —It is further resolved , tbat the agitation for the Charter be carried among the trades , to strengthen both movements through mutual aid ; that communications be entered into with the Executivesof the Trades' Unions , the various trades' bodies and associations of working men for that purpose , pointing out the reciprocal advantage to accrue from cooperation between the two great sections of reformers . IV . —That the agricultural counties be divided into districts ; tbat tracts and addresses to farmers and labourers be prepared and issued .
That missionaries , taking with them a supp ly of such tracts and addresses , be sent into the several districts , and that public meetings and lectures be held in the rural towns , for the purpose of establishing localities . That missionaries be also sent to the Irish peop le , to tbe colliers , miners , and railway labourers . The expenses , where necessary , t o be bo r ne by the National Chartist Fund .
The Convention is further of opinion , that the best way to enlist sympathy with the Chartist movement is , to show its bearings on tbe grievances of every Buffering class , that those classes may be taught to see in Chartism the leverage of their hopes ; that the best way to impress and weaken class government , is to show , those who yet support it , tbat the Chartists would do them more good , than that class government can or will afford ; and to pour one continuous stream of agitation on class g overnment , from . every portion of the toiling community ; to attack every one of its monopolies ; to absail every one of its strongholds , and to break them down in detail .
The Convention is also of opinion , that a political change would be inefficacious , unless accompanied by a social change ; that a Chart ist movement , unless accompanied with social knowledge , would result in utter failure ; that we ought to enlist , not merely the politician , but the man of business ; that we cannot claim or receive tbe support of tbe labourer , mechanic , farmer , or trader , unless we show them that we are practical reformers ; " that power would be safely vested in Chartist hands ; that we know their grievances , and how to redress them . ; that the Charter would confer on them a positive , immedi a te , and permanent benefit , and at once increase alike their comforts and resources .
The Chartist body should , therefore , stand forward as the protector of the oppressedeach suffering class should see in it the redresser of its several wrongs—it ought to be the connecting li n k , that draws together , on one common ground , the now isolated bodies of the working classes , self-interest being the tie best able to bind them to each other . It is , therefore , time that the self-interest of every one of the oppressed classes be appealed to . Each one of these classes demands a measure of Social Reform proportioned to its wants : —though various , these requirements are not conflicting—one right can never contradict another—truth can never antagonise with truth .
To stand forth ss the Unites of all these isolated , but in fact homogeneous interests , to weld the millions into one compact mass—to evoke the dormant mind of the country , and thus to launch the gathered power in the right direction , is the duty and endeavour of this delegation of the people . The Convention , deeply impressed . with this truth , while keeping Chartism distinct as an
organised political body , not joining any other section , nor mixing it with any . other organisation , recommends that public attention be directed to the following principles ; that subjoined remedial measures be submitted to the classes severally interested ; that their support of Chartist organisation be solicited on the ground of these reforms , and that these be made the subject of continuous and universal instruction : —
I . —Tie Land . This Convention believes tbat the Land is the inalienable inheritance of all mankind : monopoly is therefore repugnant to the laws of God and nature . "The nationalisation' of the land is the only true basis of national prosperity . With a view of arriving at this ultimatum , it is resolved that the following measures be successively urged upon the public . 1 st . —The establishment of a Board of Agriculture . " .. "' . . 2 nd . —The restoration of poor , common , church , eaid crown lands to the people . ., " ,
- suchlaiids to . be divided in suitable proportions . Those located to be tenants of the sta t e , pay ing a proportionate rent-charge for then" holdings .
Programme Adopted By The Chartist Conven...
3 rd . —Compensation to out-going tenants for improvements ..... .. Tenants not to be tied down to any old covenants of rotation of crops . The repeal of the Grame Laws . All rents to be ! commuted into corn-rents . 4 tb . —The state to be empowered to purchase land , for the purpose of locating thereon the population , as tenants , individually or in association , paying a rent-charge to the state . The funds for such purpose to arise from the rent-charge payable on the common , church , poor , and crown lands above mentioned , and such other sources as may hereafter be determined .
5 th . —Government purchasing land as above , not to be permitted to sell again , but to hold such lands as national property for ever , letting them to tenants in such quantities , and under such conditions , as may secure freedom to the tenant , and safety , to the state . 6 th . —The state to have priority of purchase at fair current prices . 7 th . —To provide for the final and comp lete Nationalisation of Land , tho state shall resume possession of the soil as rapidly as the existing interests can be extinguished by process of law , by death , by surrender , or by any means accordant with justice and a generous treatment of all classes .
II . —The Church . Religi o n s houl d be free ; a s s iritual , it ou g ht not to bo subject to temporal control . Therefore , the Convention recommend—1 st . —Complete separation between Church and State . 2 nd . —All church temporalities to be declared national property , except such individual endowments as have been voluntarily and legally made . All ecclesiastical buildings , of which itcan be clearly shown tbat their costs were defrayed from n at ional funds , to belong to the State . " 'The persuasion now using these edifices to continue in the enjoyment of them on equitable conditions . 3 . —Tithes and church rates to be abolished .
4 . —The State not to interfere with the internal polity of any church . All ecclesiastics to be appointed in any way their respective congregations think fit , and to be pa id v olun tar il y by the congregations who employ their services . 5 . —Ecclesiastical licenses for the purposes of education to be unnecessary . ' ¦ .-IU , —Education . A s every man ha s a ri ght to the means of p hysical life , so he has to the means of mental activity . I t is as unj u st to withhold a lim e nt from the mind , as it is to deny food to the body . Education should , therefore , be national , universal , gratuitous , & nd , t o a cer t a i n extent , compulsory .
It w , t herefore , recommended—1 . —That schools , colleges , and universities , supported b y the State , sh o ul d b e gr a tuitously open to every citizen , and that it be compulsory with all parents to have tbeir children educated in the common branches of learning . 2 . —Education in its higher branches to be equally gratuitous , but optional . 3 . —Industrial schools to bo established , in which the young may be t augh t t be v arious trades and professions , t hu s gr a dually supers e ding the s ystem of a ppren t i c eship . IV . —Labour Law . Labour is tho creator of a nation ' s wealth—aj such , the most important element of its prosperity . Notwithstanding this , the relation of master and
man has been repugnant to the well-being of society ; the creator has hitherto been the servant of the creature ; labour has been the slave of cap it a l , and groaned under a system of wages-slavery , contrary to every principle of freedom . To elevate labour from its present depressed condition , the following measures are proposed , wi t h a view to the mere rapid abrogation of wagesslavery , and the development of the co-operative princi ple . 1 . —All co-operative associations for industrial purposes , to have a right to reg istration and enrolmen t wit h out p ayme nt o f fees , and to have an unrestricted number of affiliated branches . 2 . —The law-of partnership to be so altered , as to remove existing difficulties in the way of
association . 3 . —The co-operative principle is essential for the well-being of the peop le ; t h e centralis a tion of wealth ought to be counteracted by a distributive tendency ; its accumulation in the hands of isolated clubs is an evil second only to that of its monopoly by individuals ; therefore , aU future CO-Operative attempts should , until the complete re-adjustment of the labour question , be modelled on a n at ion a l b a sis , and connected in a n a tional uni o n of whi ch
the different trades and societies should be localiti e s or br a nches ; and the p rofi ts , beyond a certain amount , of each local society , should be paid into a g e n e ral fund , for the-purpose of forming additional associations of working-men , and thus accelerating the development of associated and independent l a bour . i . —A credit fund to be opened by the State , for the purpose of advancing money , on certain condit ions , to bodies of working men , desirous of associating together for industrial purposes .
V . —Poor Law . As it is the duty of every man to work , so every man has the right to the means of work : and those unable to work , through infirmity or ag e have a ri ght to support at the hands of the State . Therefore—1 . —All able-bodied per s ons , who cannot support t hem se lves , to be supp lied w i t h r e mun e rativ e work ; and , where possible , to be located on the land . 2 . —Where the State cannot find work for the unemployed , it is bound to support them until labour is provided . 3 . —The unemployed to be supported by the State , not by the parish—aud the cost to be defrayed out of the national revenue . 4 . —The aged and infirm to be supported in their own home s , in the houses of their rel a tiv e s , or in special buildings , erected by government , at the option ofthe recipient . VI . —Taaation .
Taxation on industry represses the production of wealth-on luxuries , encourage s go v ernments in fostering excess—on necessary commodities , acts injuriousl y on the people ' s health and comfort . AU taxation ought , therefore , to he levied on land and accumulated property . VII—The National Debt . This debt having been contracted by a class government for c l as s purp o ses , cannot be considered as l e g a lly contracted b y the people . It is , moreover , absurd that future generations should be mortgaged to eternity for the follies or misfortunes of their ancestors , and the debt be thu s repaid several times over .
The National Debt ought , therefore , to be liquid a t e d b y th e money now a nnually paid as inter e st being forthwith applied as repayment ofthe cap ital until such repayment is completed . VIII . —Currency . The Convention consider that a change of currency laws is absolutely necessary to the welfare of t h e produc e r s of t his c oun t ry , and recommend t ha t t he Execu t ive , b y a ddress e s , tracts , Ac , direct the attention . of the country to this subject . IX . —The Army .
Standing armies are contrary to . the principles of Democracy , and dangerous to the liberties Of the people . At the same time , the Convention acknowled ge the expediency of a standing force being maintained , until suitable changes in our colonies and at home shall hare rendered its continuance no longer requisite . Unt i l such ch a nge , tho following enactments are necessary for the comfort of the soldier , and the safety of the citixen : — l . —Ko enlistment to be binding , unless renewed before a magistrate , by tbe party enlisting after the expiration of one week from the period of such enlistment . 2 . —The soldier to have a right to a free discharge at the end of four years .
3 . —The isolation of troops in barracks estranges them from the citiren , renders them unfit for the duties of domestic life , demoralises them , and is unnecess a ry for discipline , as proved by such discip line no t b ein g im pa ired , when troops are quartered on the inhabitants , which is frequently the case , both in peace and war . I . — Troop s , quartered on the inhabitants to be paid for as lodgers , and none to be compelled to receive them . . . ; . , 5 . —Promotion to take place from the ranks by military gradation , and none to be promoted before a t lea st one ye a r s service in the ranks . . 6 . —Promotion bj purchase to be abolished , 7 . —The use ofthe lash to beabolishcdi
8 . —Courts martial to consist , in all cases , of officers and privates in like proportion . X . —The Navy . > To be regulated by analogouspaws . XI .-The Militia . At it is the tig ht of every individual to'bear arms , so it i « hia duty to know how to use them ; as every citizen ought to receive a benefit at the han d s of the sta t e so he oug ht to be prepared to defend it ; and as lib e r t y i » not safe , where an un a rmed a nd u n di s ci p lined people stand in presence of an armed and disciplined caste , it is therefore requisite that every male of sound mind and body , over fifteen years of age , should be afforded the opportunity of military training . XII—Tht Press .
That absolute freedom of thought and expression being ohe ofthe primary and most sacred of t he rights of m a n , all restrictions—fiscal or otherwise—on printing and publishing are unjust and iniquitous , this Convention , therefore , declares its
Programme Adopted By The Chartist Conven...
decided hostility , to ' the taxes on knowledge , and recommends the total abolition of The duty on P a per ; The duty on Advertisements ; The Penny Stamp tax on Newspapers ! . ¦ And the import duty on Foreign Books and publications . Addresses , each embodying one of the above reforms , to be circulated , together with an exposition of the Charter , and its necessity for enabling such reform to be obtained .

Manchester Boiler Explosion. The Adjourn...
MANCHESTER BOILER EXPLOSION . The adjourned inquest in this case was taken on Wednesday evening . — -Mr . Herfocd , the coroner , summed up , commenting , on the leading facts which had been elicited in the course of the inquiry , and particularly directing attention to the repeated cautions given by witnesses both to Egerton and to Williamson , his employer , of the danger they were incurring by running the engine with too little water in
the boiler . He also drew attention more particularly to the opinions of Mr . W . Fajrbairn , that the boiler bad become red-hot through want of water , and that this caused the explosion—an opinion supported by Hartley , the boiler maker . —There were sixteen jurors , and they retired to consider their verdict at about six o ' clock on Wednesday evening .. They returned into court about nine o'clock , and the foreman then handed to the coroner the
following written verdict : — " ! . The jury are of opinion that the boiler was efficient and perfectl y competent to perform all the duties required from it . 2 . They are also of opinion that gross negligence was exercised in the management and attendance of this boiler , and great want of ordinary care . 3 . The jury are unanimously of opinion that the deaths of the parties visited by the jury arose from culpable
neg ligence on the part of Thomas Egerton ( the engine tenter ) and Thomas Williamson ( his employer . ) " " Under these circumstances , " the foreman added , " twelve of the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against the said Thomas Egerton and Thomas Williamson . '' Williamson and Egerton were detained in custody on the coroner ' s warrant , and will be committed for trial at the next Liverpool assizes .

*^^«^ ****** // y / M 4 ^* M / * // ww / i ^ AV * THE EXHIBITION . Elaborate anb Costly FcnNiTCRB . —Last week there was a private view of two most elaborate pieces of workmanship , which are lo be contributed to the Exhibition , by Messrs . Holland and Son , upholsterers , Marylebone-street , St . James ' s . The first was a book-case , made to form one end of a room . The material is walnut , richly and minutely carved . In the centre is a cavity for afire -p lace , which is of red Mona marble , with a green dragon fitted in it . Over the fire-place are three niches , with green and red marble foliage panels . At each tide of these niches is a space for books , wi t h brass
doors , lined with crimson velvet . Beside each of these doors is a pedestal for statuary . Behind these are pi last res exquisitely carved , representing the Vine stem and grapes , and boys . with baskets gathering ( he grapes , At tho base are snakes and liz a rd s , and dra g ons , w i t h som e of which boy s are having contests ; and on the stem are birds , butterflies , moths , and lizards . Under these pedestals are panels inlaid with green and red marble , a nd bosses of red marble . The whole is surmounted with a pediment , -which is also minutely carved . The extreme length of this magnificent piece of furniture is twenty feet eight inches ; height , thirteen feet ten inches .

Thames. —A Mrstebior/S Case. —William Da...
THAMES . —A MrsTEBior / s Case . —William Day , a resp ec tably dressed young raan , twenty-one years of age , late barman to Mr , Deacon , wine and spirit merchant , 100 , Curtain-road , was charged with feloniously assaulting Ann Harriet Newman , a young needlewoman , residing with her parents at 8 , Manning-street , Limehouse . About half-past one o 'clock on Tuesday morning Hillier , 47 G , found the comp lainant sitting on the step of a door in Little Sutton-strcet , Clerkenwell , apparently in a state of stupefaction , outof which heendeavoiire-l to rouse her , but to no purpose . She had a written address in her band . She appeared entirely denrivedoftheuse of her limbs , and he was
compelled to convey her to the station on a stretcher . H e r h a nds were bl o ody , but there was no marks of violence on her person . From the station-house she was conveyed to the Royal Free Infirmary , Gray ' s-inn-road , Jwhere she was attended by Mr Robertson , the house-surgeon . When sufficiently recovered from her state of stupefaction she gave the following extraordinary account ofthe circumstances which led to her being found in the position in which the constable discovered her . She said tha t on Monday , the 31 st ult-, she got a letter from a young man named Richard Roberts , who was paying his addresses to her , making an appointment to meet bor that afternoon at the Ben Johnson , R h odesw e ll , Stepney . Though the letter
was not in bis handwriting-, sho imagined that he had got somebody else to write it , and kept the appo i ntmen t , going there between four and five o ' clock in the afternoon . Instead of Roberts she met the prisoner , who said y o ur name is Newman ; you are waiting for Dick Roberts ; come with me , and I'll show you where he is . He then took her round the corner , where a cab was waiting , and wished her to go on to the Ben Johnson ' s Bri d g e , which was close at hand ; but she refused . An altercation ensued , during which the prisoner and the cabman tried to force her into the vehicle , but some persons passing by interfered , on which the prisoner cried out " "What business is it of yours ? She is my wife , and 1 want to get her home . " Though
she protested to the contrary , the p arties ado p t e d bis s tat e ment , and she was forced into the cab . She had not been long there when the prisoner put a white handkerchief to her mouth and nose , and she became almost immediately insensible . On aw a kem ng out of her tr . ince , she found her s elf ly ing on a sofa in a large room , with & young woman sitting opposite her . Tbe woman , who seeme'J to commiserate her position , asked her if she felt herself better , to which she replied , "I don ' t know that I have been ill , " for she did not perceive that any injury had been done to her . She asked the young woman where she was , to which t h e other replied , "You ' re in a Mow house . '" Shocked at this intelligence , though she did not
find tbat she bad been abused , she cried out , "I must get out at once ; " to which the young woman replied , " I do not think there is much uie in your trying . If , however , you are a respectable young woman , and resolved to force your way out , here is a knife which may a ssis t you ; but for God sake do not tell the old woman , who will soon come up , that I gave you this knife , or any advice or assistance . " A respectable-looking old woman came up shortly afterwards with something in a glass , which she compelled the complainant to swallow . The draught had a strange effect upon her , and all after that seemed like a confused dream . She remembered seeing a gentleman in the room , who attempted to take liberties with her , which she resisted . She broke a quantity of glass ,
and had an indistinct idea of cutting somebody with a knife , but could not say who it was ; the fact might account for the blood on her bands . She was then again forced into a cab , and remembered nothing more until she awakened to a sense of consciousness in the Infirmary ; but she did not think th ; ifc her person had been violated , an op i nion in which Mr . Robertson seemed to coincide . In addi t ion to this , it was shown by the evidence of Richard Roberts , an . optician ( the young man who was paying his addresses to tbe complainant ) that on the Tuesday following he met the prisoner at the Standard Theatre , and after adjourning to a neighbouring public house the latter said , " I h ad a fine lark with a g irl l a st ni ght , I got her into a cab at S tepney , in which we drove about through Limehouse and Poplar , and I had connexion with her
three times . " Witn e ss , on whom t he officer h a d previously called , made a casual remark , t o which another young man in the company observed , " Djck ( meaning witness ) , you ' re in a nice mes s , " ( imp lying that it was his sweetheart the prisoner had been driving about ) . In answer to Mr . Yavdley , Roberts said that his addresses to the young woman were honourable . That nobody was aware of the fact but his mother and a particular friend of his , and he could not conceive how the prisoner could come to any knowledge of the fact . He had never written the letter making the appointment . —Mr . Yardley said that there was some evidence sustaining the charge ofthe capital offence , an d he sh o uld , therefore , remand the prisoner till Saturday next . In the interim , the constables mustexert themselves to discover the house to . which the prosecutrix was taken , and alto to find out the cab which was used
on the occasion . MANSION-HOUSE . - An Impostor . - William Webbling , alias Captain Wright , alias Bowles , a s t out , well-dressed man , apparently about thirtyfive years of age , was brought before the Lord M a yor , in the custody of H o r s ford , the officer ol the Mendicity Society , charged as an incorrigible impostor—Mr . H . Dundas , merchant , of So . 3 , White Lion-court . Cornhill , said : The prisoner came to me at my office a few d a ys ago , and said ho waited upon me on behalf of a Mrs . Mitchell , who , h e s t ated , lived formerl y a t Q ue en s fe r ry , a small town near Linlith gow , where my f a ther re s ide s ; that Mrs . Mitchell was in very bad circumstances , and that it would be a great charity in me to give
her some pecuniary assistance . He at the same time gave me a piece of printed paoer , which had t he a p pe a ra nc e of being a w a rrant of distress for rent , and said that the poor woman ' s furniture had been seized , and tbat the gum of £ 118 s . was required to make up the amount necessary ., to redeem the goods which had been distrained . Witness knew that Mrs . Mitchell was . dead . — Horsford , the , mendicity officer , said the prisoner bad about him when apprehended a letter from a gentleman , which purported to be an answer to an application about the character of a young man who was looking for a situation as a servant . Tbe letter s t ated th a t no such person was known t o t he writer , but it contained all the information the
impostor required—the signature of the . person addressed . To a list of subscriptions found in the prisoner ' s possession appeared an excellent imitata tion of the name , and several other si gna t ures had been obtained b y the same sort of man < Bvme . — The Lord Mayor : I suppose you are familiar with his tricks ?—Horsford : I have known him to he one of the most resolute , off-hand , able-bodied impostors about town . He is one of those who get so much money from the benevolent people with whom t his city abounds , th a t it never en t ered into hi s head to have recourse to industry . —The Prisoner : Wha t am I to do ? I have no other resource , and starvation is before me . I'll promise your lordship if you let me go you shall never see me ocain . The
fact is , a gentleman has promised to set me up in a good line of busin e s s , in the city , near this place . —Horsford : I have here , my lord , a list of n i n e convic t ions which h a v e t a ken place against the prisoner since 1836 for imposing upon the benevolent . In one case the City Solicitor prosecuted . The prisoner had upon that occasion gone about in the dress of a coalheaver , and obtained contributions for a comrade who " . had a dreadful accident and a large family . " The com f or t in whi c h he spent his evenings was known to be quite enviable . In fact , it was well known that by his skill he contrived , wi t hin t h e last f e w weeks , to get hold of a number of small sums to the amount of upwards of £ 150 . —The prisoner : I faithfull promise th at
y I shall never appear in the City again , except as a respectable man . I admit that Mr . Horsford has told some facts , but I have since my first conviction been in good business . I have been a fishmonger , and I shall set up in that trade , or some other respectable way , again . ( Laughter . ) A friend of mine is going to give me a capital start again . —The Lord Mayor : He shall not start you until I have a turn out of you in Bridewell , to which place I commit you for three months . You will have some such labour there as you are not accustomed to . —The prisoner : Although 1 am strong m appearance I am quite a cripple . —The Lord Mayor : They shall try the experiment upon you there . r *
