The prospect of profit , and pecuniary hentfii is sufficient with commercial rata to attract attention and command support . Literary m * n , as it is well kn « wn , nrofef s themselves par .

      [ TOWN Ismi'IOK . ] AN OLD FRIEND MTH A KEff FACE

      Our readers will observe that this week a clianim has been made iu our Title . Not so much achange indeed , as a modification , or rather a cuitaiUnem ' Instead of tho 'Northern Star , 'in future it will be " the' Star . ' We have not taken this step , which wo are fully aware is , in Journalism , a very serious one , with . out mature consideration . A change of name soint times involves a change of policy also . Iu tlii 8 instance that is to some extent the ease ; but wbil 0 our title has been curtailed , our sphere of action has been enlarged . Wo are not one whit less Chartist

      than ever we were . To Universal Suffrage wo piu our whole faith , as tho only complete measure which will enable the people to do themselves justice , That is not with us the opinion of a moment , or the creed of a day ; but the faith of a lifetime , and . our adherence to it is not likely to be lightly shaken . For its consummation we shall strain every nerve —to its realisation we shall devote all our energies Failure will indicate not waut of will , but want of power . To Universal Suffrage as the great end oi

      all political effort our desires aud endeavours will constantly tend . It 'has been said of some men , that in the contemplation of the means they lose sight of the end . . We must be careful that in tho hope for the end we do not forget the means which are necessary to the accomplishment of our wishes . Just as the man , whoso eyes are always uplifted to Heaven , stumbles over a stone in his path , so those who will see nothing but the future , are tripped up by the obstacles of the present . That is what we have to avoid .

      Acknowledging the six points of the Charter as the objects reallya ; to . be struggled for , it is impossible for any man who has a moderate share of common sense , to look about him and not see that very little has been done toward their attainment . The Charter i » still in nvbibm . Much as it is required on earth , its realm for the time is Cloudlaud . Do not let us deceive ourselves upon that point . Let us look at it like thinking men , not as impulsive savages , or over-hopeful children . It is ail very well for those who have a selfish end to serve , or who pant for notoriety , or thirst for famo , or hunger for popular power and its fruits , to treat us to a series

      of dissolving views . It may jump with their humour and suit their purposes passing well , to tell us that the Charter is to be had for asking for , but it is not true . The Charter is no more to be had now by asking for , than next year ' s apples are—like them , it must grow and ripen first . That is just the position of the Charter which is to be , but is not . For that , much money—money squeezed like drops of life-blood from the hard earnings of the poorest , 1 ms been spent , For that , effort has been piled upon

      effort . For that , the law has been braved , and martyrs have languished in dungeons , while wives and children have pined iu suffering ; and still the phantom , like the creation of a tantalising dream , has escaped us . Not only escaped us , but it seems to have become more inaccessible . After all that has been done , and suffered , our cause appears more hopeless than ever—more unable to embody itself in a substantial form , or gain a legislative recognition . How is this ? The inquiry is worth making , and worth , too , taking some pains to answer .

      Look attentively at thehistory of the past , and see how Social and Political Improvement and power have always moved on together . Sometimes one has been foremost , sometimes the other , but neither ever far in advance . Political privileges have never been won without prompting Social elevation , and rendering it possible . Social advances have never been made without heralding an accession of Political rights . They are the Siamese twins of progress . It is equall y true that a politically free people will never consent to remain in social degrada- . tion , and that a socially comfortable people will never r allow themselves to continue political slaves . Thea forward movement takes in both phases .

      It seems to us that just now the social effort is thee instrument which is most ready to hand , and whicha the people are most capable of using . They cana work for that without any greater Legislative powenr than they at present possess . For that they need not ) t ask tho aid of Parliament . To some extent uponn that question their fate is in their own hands . Theie great masses of labour—those who make all thae wealth with which the world teems , and yet suffer iuin poverty , have yet to learn their own industrial poweiei aud its application for their own benefit . They arere

      sensible ot the fact—that to be rich is to be powerfulal . That property enjoys greater consideration than lifdfc and intelligence . That ought not to be , but it » , » , Let them grow more comfortable in their eircumm stances ^ and they will become more intelligent it it their minds . Let them grow into a higher intellllli geiice , and political power IB their own . How is thiihi to be achieved \ By a thorough comprehension anan < a determined following out of tho ' great questionon relating to labour , which are forcing themselves upoipoi the atteution of the world .

      Have we neglected these considerations ? -ThTh Chartists we mean . We fear that we have . WW have concentrated our attention eutirel y upon poliblit cal agitation , and forgotten social and industritri effort . Our want of wealth has made the LegislatUltU deaf to us ; our want of position has kept us frofro acting upon the more influential classes of the couiou try . Isolated , standing alone , withou t a basis sis property to act from—Cabinet after Cabinet lit h treated us with contempt—has scoffed at our remomo strances—has disregarded our petitions—h-h laughed at our demands—has drawn us to the verver

      ot . Rebellion—has sent our advocates to thogafga * or the hulkg . The truth is , wo have been looking ing steadfastly at the end , that we have disregarded fed f means , and the time has come to remedy the error . ror . We purpose , then , while advocating political cal c : franchisement in its widest and fullest sense , to cod cor bine with it the support of Co-operativo effort , at , fli the aid of all Trade Societies . We shall do wlowll we can to help men , not only to political liberty , ly , 11 to industrial independence aud social comfort . I V shall strive to adjust the ; means to the end , and tod to . what all men who would serve the interests of hutfhur nity must do—use the present as it is for the attaattai ment of the future as it must and ought to he . Ti Ti ' is all our change of title portends .

      But why change the title at all ? Could not tiot tt as well be done under the name of the North orthi Star , ' as the 'Star ? ' Ifc could not . ' , '¦'¦ ' Northern Star' has been identified with a class , lass , 11 confined to a c / ass . Our principles—priiioifinc ij ] which have sunk deeply into the hearts of the pete peu —only need to be enunciated to all classes , fees , t < : < widely appreciated and adopted . In a journal mal confined by its reputation to any circle , or any orny or < : < they might ; , be diffused throughout all the rhe rir ;

      thinking portion of the population ; therefore , fore ,, alter the title so that that which has hitherto Irto 11 only a class newspaper , may be accepted by all y all ties—may widen its scope of influence—may g « ay g »» readers where it has hitherto been barred out-outmay put before the general public principles wles wv are so just , bo true , so conducive to the real weil w & i of all men , that an earnest , unpartisan-like advo , adveo of them must ensure them a more favourable cble cc deration than they have yet received .

      We have now laid before our readers tbe reale realil sons which have prompted ub to make this <* ais chjii We entreat them earnestly to look the necessiecessisi not only of our position , but of the Chartist Jttist pp coolly in the face—to estimate their real bean beariri
