PRANCE . / The * Moniteur' publishes a decree calling under anas 40 , 000 men belonging ta the class of 1849 . The * Conuitutionner says that the belief which prevails that an army of 40 , 000 men was to be sent to the Rhine is a mistake . The military divition of Strasbourg is to be increaied by four regiments . Bnt government limits for the present its measures U regards the Rhine . frontier to'this increase . The same semi-official organ adds that the immediate calling under arms of the conscripts of 1849 , is only an anticipation of what mutt inevitably have taken place according to rale in the coming spring . At the same time it says , « All Germany is is arms ; it is therefore necesitry for Ranee to complete her effective military force . ' * . _ . The decree h motived by the Minuter of War in these terms— .
: _ .., _ , Monsieur le President ,-In presence of the political events which agitate Germany , and although the government is firmly decided , as your message expresses , toreniinin the strictest neutrality , as long a * French interests and the equilibrium of lurape are not comp romised , it is but a measure of prudent foresight to assemble in the territorial divisions of the north and east a sufficient number of troops to face all eventualities . ' The motion of the questors relative to the
Assembly ' s special commissary of police threatens to throw down the flimsy structure of receonciliafion built on the President ' s message . The danger of this question , as far as ripping up the newly-cemented peace is concerned , lies less in the disposition of parties than in . the fatal chain of facts , which is such as to make collision inevitable , with even the best indication on both sides to avoid it . M . Carter , instrument of the resentment of the Bljsee , struck the protege of the Assembly with a suddenness which has called out the old grudge in
all its bitterness . M . de . Tinguy has presented a proposition to modify the electoral law , according to which the electoral liit shall be drawn up by the mayor , sitting iu the municipal council , assisted by two delegates for each commune , and the council-general of the department . On that list shall be inscribed ex officio , and in alphabetical order—1 st , all Frenchmen , aged twenty-one , in possession of all their Civil and political rights , and having resided in the canton for three jeats at least i and 2 dly , those who , when the list was formed , not having attained all the conditions of age and domicile , shall have acquired them before it is definitively closed . The proof of the conditions mentioned above is left to thVjndgment of the municipal council and of the Relegates :
' The Orleanist club , which formerly held its meetings in the Rue de Richelieu , has removed to the Hue dei Pyramides . M . Thiers takes an active part in the management of the dub . M . Neftzer , responsible editor of the' Presse , ' was summoned before the Court of Assize of the Seine on Monday , on a charge of publishing false news , and a fabricated , falsified , and lying document , attributed to a third party , and calculated to disturb public order . He was condemned to a year of imprisonment , 2 , 000 fr . fine , and COStS The destruction of the numbers seized was ordered and the period of constraint , par corps , fixed at one year . The great commotion made by the moclcxnessage of the « Presse' at Lyons seems to have dictated this rigorous sentence .
M . Gottfried Kinkel , who had been condemned to death far the part he took in the insurrectional movements of Germany , and whose sentence had been commuted into detention for life , but who escaped from the fortress of Spandau some days ago , passed through Paris for London . Mors 'Police Intelligence . '—We find the following in the ' Constitutionnei ' : — ' It appears from the journals of the south of France that , after the discovery of the conspiracy of Lyons , the superior chiefs of the demagogic party gave orders to their bands in the southern departments to abstain from any demonstration or proceedings of ? . nature to awaken the attention of the authorities ; but it
appears that this order has called fonh violent recriminations among the soldiers of the emeu ( e . A great number among them positively refused to obey , and wished to attempt au immediate rising . In several departments of the south , particularly in that of the Ardeche , the subordinate leaders decided on going to Lyons to solicit the active co-operation of the demagogues of that city , in order to turn to account the first moment of confidence which usually follows the discovery of a plot . Nothing less was thought of than to attempt a sudden and general movement ! the signal of which , starting from the southern part of the Ardeche , would extend to Annonay and St . Etienne , where it was hoped to
recmt their ranks from among the working classes , and then gun possession ot the city o ! Lyons , which , in case of success , would naturally become the centre and the head-quarters of the insurrection . Happily the projects of the delegates of the demagogues of the Ardeche excited but little confidence in the secret meetings at Lyons , and moreover , the proceedings of certain well-known agitators at Lyons had awakened the attention of the police , and measures as energetic as prompt were taken on both banks of the Shone , in the department of the Ardeche , as well as in that of the Drome . Thanks to these measures , the 11 th passed off without the slightest disturbance /
The 'Echo de Yesone * announces that , on the 12 th inst ., after a perquisition made at the office of the' Repnblicain de la Dordogne , ' 11 . Desolme , the chief editor , was arrested and lodged in prison . This natter is said to be connected with the Lyons plot . At Rouen several of the manufacturers'have been compelled to put their bands upon half work in consequence of a want of orders . A serious and destructive accident occurred on Iboard the Talmy , the largest ship in the French JUavy . On the 8 th , that is four days before the isqnadron reached Brest , a lond explosion was heard , / followed by cries of pain . Drams were beaten and jsignals of distress fired . It was supposed the powder
magazine had caught fire . All lights were put out ; ratter darkness prevailed , and in the midst of the 1 thick smoke all bands turned to gat the fire under . ] Between decks were heard the groans of the wounded , j some of whom lay crushed under the gun-carriages , iwhich had been torn from their places by the shock ITwenty sailors , scarcely recognisable , were extricated ffrom the ruins , of whom ten died immediately , and ttbere is little hope of preserving any of the rest . The aaecident occurred about ten leagues to the north of tthe . He de lias , the squadron then sailing in line of tbattle : The Yalmy had occasion to make a night ssignal , which is managed by means of a rocket . Hhe gunner appointed to prepare these fire works had
hbad the imprudence , no doubt with the object of sspeeding his work , to keep a chest of powder and oother firework materials in the cabin of the orlop ddeek on the larboard bow , where he bad not only sEtowed a chest of rockets , but two other copper ebhests filled with cannon cartridges—all which was jhlean against the rules of the service , which forbid aoowder to be kept out of the magazine . The gunner entered the cabin , followed by a sailor carrying a lip ' ght , from which some sparks must have fallen , irfhe chests exploded ; both the men were killed on
Ifchhe spot , as well as the carpenter and clerk in the inoexi cabin ; five second gunners , sleeping alongside iirin the deck , shared the same fate ; a common sailor iiv . Tas killed by the jump of a gun-carriage , which jorokehis scull , and fifteen others were dreadfully iswounded . After great exertions at the pumps the iirire was got under , The Valmy , notwithstanding hhe shattered state of her decks , was enabled to veieach Brest with the rest of the squadron , which uaoisted colours half-mast high , in memory of the vicictims .
' The decree calling out 40 , 000 men of the class of 8849 is the principal topic in the Parts journals , i'lfhe democratic Socialist papers disapprove gfineialally of the decree . They affirm that nothing new iiaias occurred to render this measure necessary on ihhe part of France as a precaution for the mainicienance of the balance of power ; and they deudouuee it as a demonstration against the people of ji-J =: mauy ia their efforts to obtain a greater decree » f > f politial liberty . Two or three of the journals of " sine party of order express themselves also unfavourihiblv to the measure .
' The correspondent of the * Daily News' says : — 11 have stated what setms the double object , ext erualal and internal , of the government in arming , irerennan democracy is to be threatened on ihe Qanlc , ?? h ? hile . a-riYii military power to General Changamier ii i to be created . The conservatives , who go all SJnjngths with the first aim , regard the second with jatalousy and vigilance . The democratic party , on ineie other hand , would have no objection to see a wrarmidable military force on feor , which could hold u O check the presumption of the commander-in-chief EE tf the army of Paris , their arch-foe , if tbe same worce were not posted in the east and north , in posi-. torouB to overawe the German struggle for liberty ,

M . Betting deLincastel having brought up bit report , which stated that General Lahitte had been elected by 63 , 691 votes out of 68 , 497 voters , and 142 , 205 inscribed , M . Schoelcher protested , in the name of the constitution ) against an election which violated the 1 st , 24 tb , and 25 th articles of the constitution . M . Michel de Sources
seconded this protest , and congratulated those who had practically protested against the law of May 31 st by abstaining from the poll . M . Baroche defended the law against an attack which he designated as a positive offence . ( Violent murmurs oh the Left . ) M . de Flotte maintained , in reply to the Minuter of the Interior , that when the law was contrary to reaion and justice it might be attacked with propriety . ( Murmurs on the Right . ) The President of the Assembly said that in that case every one might set himself up as a judge of the law . But the question was to vote on the election . The house then divided . For the validity of the election there were 460 votes , against 173 . General Lahitte was proclaimed representative for the Nord .
A person who has just returned to Paris from a visit to the frontier states that the town of Sarrelouis , where he was on the 14 th , is full of armed men , summoned to form part of the Landwehr . The villages , he says , are regularly decimated . The most robust and healthy part of the population is taken off . The greater part of these unfortunate persons are married men , forced thus to abandon their wives and children . It is impossible to give an idea of the desolation of the country . The villages
in the neighbourhood of Sarrelouis resemble a camp , so crowded are they with troops . A part of these were to leave on the 15 th for Goblentz and Kreutz * nacb . Since 1815 the Prussian government has not called out such a force . The general opinion in the country is that it is not merely the question of Catseel that occasions all this gathering of armed men , but that there exists other motives . At the present moment all public and private works are suspended , and commercial enterprise is completely at a stand-still .
BELGIUM . In every part of Europe we hear of the activity of the Papal party . The following is from the Independent Beige , of Saturday : — ' There is no longer a doubt that the clerical party are about to undertake a campaign against the cabinet . Peace and commercial prosperity do not suit this party ; it must have agitation . Ministers were bent on devoting the session to the discussion of important laws and the promotion of material interests ; but the chiefs Of the Clerical party have risen in the assembly and harrangued on the subject of the papal allocation of May last , in which his Holiness declared religion to be in danger in Belgium . Ministers bad protested against the truth of the Pope ' s fears and language . His friends in the church , however , raised a debate therein , and got their answer .
ROMAN STATES . The 'Daily News' correspondent , relates some most atrocious instances of cruelty on the part of the sbirri . One man ( a respectable shopkeeper , was well nigh cudgelled to death by them . The Minister of Commerce , Jacobini , has received urgent directions , by an ordine santissimo of the Pope , to give up the Barromei-palace forthwith , for the use of the Jesuits . The tribunal of commerce has been subjected to the commission of censure , and the greater part of the employes dismissed . The demonstration of public feeling with respect to the new taxes has been so marked that the government appears resolved to proceed more cautiously with
the second tariff , that upon the professions . The notification was to have been published last week ; indeed , it was printed and ready , when the reflections of the Minister of Justice induced the government to suspend the measure , since it was urged that the division of professional men into categories would involve a world of difficulties , as sometimes an excellent lawyer or doctor , by reason of bis health or family affair . ; , might only be in a limited practice , although his merit was first-rate . By this tariff advocates were rated at ninety dollars a year , and medical men at sixty dollars . At the closing of
the lists at the municipal office for the registering of taxable shopkeepers , about three hundred individuals were found to have presented themselves , whereas several thousands altogether are calculated as being comprised in Rome . The statue of Pasquino has furnished another epigram upon the subject of the taxes , punning upon the name of the Minister of Finance , Galli ( Gauls ) . Ci voller tanti GaUi a liborarci , Dn Galli sol basto per rovinarei . A horde of Gauls to free us came , and hardly did suffice , A single Gaul has ruined our finances in a trice
SWITZERLAND . The definitive result of the elections of Geneva is as follows : College of the city , M . Mayerbrother , radical candidate , 2 , 929 ; Gen . Dufour , conservative , 1 , 700 ; M . James Fazy stood 35 th on the list of 44 deputies to choose . College of the right bank : James Penay , radical , 650 votes ; Dural , conservative , 530 . College of the left bank : M . Benit , radical , 1 , 807 . The first conservative candidate obtained only 1 , 600 . The radical list completely succeeded .
GERMANY . The daily j ournals have their columns filled with details as to the movements of the large armaments , set in motion by the various governments , and rumours as to the course of the negotiations in which the diplomatic body have been engaged . The re * suit of the whole seems to be , that the Prussian government has at length given way to Austria ; but whether this will arrest the war is doubtful . Popular opinion is said to be decidedly against concession , and it is not improbable that the King may be coerced into active warfare . In the meantime the prospect is , that the German people will eat their Christmas dinner in the midst of an armed
peace . The King of Wurtemburg , imitating the Elector of Hesse , has applied to the Austrian government for assistance against his own people . The Minister for Foreign Affairs , Her von Linden , has been dispatched to Yienna to ask for Austrian intervention , the chambers having refused to grant the money asked for by the ministry for the purpose of arming the people against Prussia , and the people themselves having shown the greatest dissatisfaction at the conduct of their king . If war ensues , the King of Wurtemberg , who is so desirous of returning to a state of vassalage under the House of Hapsburg , Will run no small chance of losing bis crown .
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . There have been several skirmishes between the hostile armies—the number of killed and wounded inconsiderable . The German officers are , however , leaving the duchies , which is an unfavourable omen for those who uphold the German side of the dispute .
TURKEY . It is stated in a letter from Constantinople of the 10 th , that the Austrian Government had given its consent to the release of all the Hungarian refugees in Turkey , with the exception of Kossuth , but that the Porte had declared that all must be releaser ! or none . The refugees themselves were , it is added , of opinion that all ought to be treated alike . The definitive answer of Austria was expected with anxiety . Should it be favourable , Perczel and Batthyani would , it was said , take up their residence at Paris , and Kossuth at London .
CAPE OP GOOD HOPE . The- discussions in the Legislative Council bad lead to dissension in that body . In the sitting of the Legislative Council ,-of the 20 tb , when some drafts of ordinances were presented , and the motion was made by the Hon . Secretary to the Government , that one of them be read a first time , Sir Andrew Stockenstrom moved an amendment , to the effect that no other business should be proceeded with until the ordinances containing the constitution of
the Parliament of the Cape of Good Hope bad been compleated and passed . Upon this amendment a long and earnest discussion arose , which terminated in a division , when it appeared that there were seven to four against the amendment , which was consequently lost , all the official members , with Mr . Godlonton and Mr . Cock , voting against , and Sir Audries Stockenstrom , Mr . Brand , Mr . Reitz , and Mr . Fairburn , voting for it . The numbers in the minority protested and resigned .
In the committee of the council it had been resolved by . a large majority , consisting of official members ,, and persons nominated by the Governor , that the legislative Council shall consist exclusively of persons who possess landed or fixed property to the value of £ 2 . 000 ' over and above allehcum

Thus the inhabitants will be restricted in their chdtee-toyiiudividuaU of one . class , thei , proprietors of & ed ; proptrty , and willroplyvhavVthe privilege of exercising that ' restricted , choice once in ten years . V .- ' ' *' "'• vV ' - "' ¦ " ' 'f - ' ' v The four popular members opposed earnestly and voted against both these resolutions , on the ground that they thought them ] unwise and ] unjust , consequently mischievous , dangerous ) and fatal to the peace ,, welfare , libertiesj and propert y of the colony . > — ,
INDIA AND CHINA . The Overland Mail brings no intelligence of political importance . ... . The hill tribes on the Kohat frontier were again manifesting a hostile disposition , and the passage through . their defiles was interrupted . ... It is announced that , the works on the Bombay Railway had been commenced . Disaffection and mutinies among the Nizam ' s native regiments continue .
CHINA . From Hong-Kong we learn that the insurgents were getting the better of the imperial troops . Numerous bands of " robbers were plundering and burning throughout the provinces of Kangsi and Canton , and after the capture of the city of Kintschan the insurgents had advanced to within 120 English miles of Canton . BORNEO . Intelligence had reached Singapore of a victory gained by the Dutch over , the Chinese in the Sombas river , in Borneo , after a bloody engag ement . It was reported that Sir James Brooke ' s mission to Siam had proved an utter failure *
NEW SOUTH WALES . Sydney journals have been received to the beginning ef August . They contain more details relative to Dr . Lang ' s election . for Sydney , and its immediate consequences than had previously reached this country . When the poll closed , such was the extreme excitement felt , that notwithstanding the rain fell in torrents , ' a very large concourse of persons assembled at the hustings anxious to hear the result of the poll .. The numbers were : for the Rev . Dr . Lang , 970 ; for Mr . Holden , 945 , or a majority of 25 in favour of the former candidate . Dr . Lang has declared his steadfast . determination to carry his . agitation scheme into effect even
within the walls , of the council chamber ., In addressing : the electors on bis triumphant return , Dr . Lang designated the Australian constitution as unconstitutional , and looked forward to the new act to secure to the colony the . best constitution that could be made , despite the Exclusion Bill .. The proceedings terminated in Dr . Lang being dragged home in a carriage by a number of the crowd , the horses being removed for that purpose . On the following . day Dr . Lang ' s election was duly notified by the governor ia the official' Gazette ; ' on the 30 ih July he took his seat , and shortly after gave
notice of his intention to move for a select committee being appointed to ascertain whether there are any , and if any , what foundations there are for certain charges recently preferred , by the Right Hon . the Secretary of State for the : Colonies , against a member of this house , in matters connected with a series of efforts for the promotion of emigration to Australia . It would , from this notice of his intended motion , seem thatDr . Lang ' s personal share in the agitation scheme will be discussed , and the Secretary of the Colonies receive the full vial of the doctor's wrath upon bis head .
PORT PHILIP . Melbourne journals to the end of July supply a few items of intelligence . The 'Argus' congratulates the colonists on an increase in the exports of wool , which amounted in 1849 to 51 , 500 to 61 , 500 already shipped this year ; the total value of the exports had also greatly increased on the previous year . The ship Culloden arrived at Melbourne , July 5 th , with the first batch of needlewomen , forwarded by public subscription , which was started by the Hon . Sydney Herbert . The' Herald ' notices the uniform good conduct of these emigrants aj deserving the highest encomium ; there was but little illness , and neither a birth nor a death occurred on board during the voyage .
WESTERN AUSTRALIA . Active preparations were in progress at Perth and Fremantle to transmit specimens of produce , & c . for the Great Exhibition of 1851 ; among the articles to be forwarded will be marrow-fat peas , woods , essential oils , & e . The schooner Evergreen , from Singapore , with supplies for the colony , had not arrived , and fears were entertained for her safety A series of charges by some emigrant passenger , per Sophia , had been preferred against Mr . Parr , the
surgeon superintendent of the ship during the passage from England . An inquiry was immediately instituted by the government , which resulted not only in clearing Mr . Parr of the charges brought forward , bnt established his character for humane and kind treatment . Some of the female emigrants by the Sophia had behaved in such a manner on landing at Fremantle that the executive was forced to lock them up in the gaol , and had resolved to send them to Perth .
NEW ZEALAND . By accounts received from the new settlement , Port Cooper , Canterbury , to the middle of August , was prospering most favourably . Political and domestic news there was none , save that ' feelings of happiness and the enjoyment of health were gene , rally diffused amongst the settlers . Port Nicholson journals to the end of July are barren of anything of general interest , Emigration to California was still pursued to a large extent , particularly from Auckland . The' OtagoNews' bad been discontinued in consequence of the paucity of subscribers ; the proprietor before closing his career was presented E » y his supporters with a purse containing eighty sovereigns .
CANADA . Montreai ,. —The last of the political trials for the burning of the Parliament-house resulted in an acquittal , The name of the individual tried was Jameson . It is not needful to give detailsof the trial ; it is enough to say that the fact came clearly put that the attack and burning of the Parliament-bouse in 1849 was a consentaneous act on the spur of the moment , and not a premeditated one . This was doubtful before the trial . The customs returns to the 31 st of October show a revenue from that source , since the beginning of the financial year , of 2 , 083 , 608 dollars ; beiris ; an increase on the , corresponding portion of last year of 886 , 176 dollars . At the present rate of increase the provincial revenue for 1850 will exceed that of . 1849 by 2 , 440 , 600 dols .
The subscriptions collected in England by the Bishop of Toronto for his church of England unU versity , amounted to 64 , 000 dollars . The vicinity of Montreal had been visited by one of those annual storms from the east which come with the autumn . It began on Saturday , the 2 uth ult ., and continued to rain furiously ; with heavy gales of wind , until Sunday evening ; when a shift of wind to : the north converted the falling rainin ' to snow ,. which covered the ground to the depth of two inches with , a fleecy coat , and covered the waters with ice . To all appearance the . winter had set in as far as agriculture is concerned , but , the abrupt variations in the temperature of this climate rendered predictions dangerous , It was hoped that the atmosphere having discharged its accumulated wrath , " the province might erijoy a month of , seasonable weather .
UNITED STATES . . .- We have dates from New York to the 6 th , inst . The excitement caused by the efforts made to enforcethe provisions of the Fugitive Slave Bill ap . pears tobe on the increase . A report had been circulated that President Fillmore was about to issue a statement of the view 8 on this subject entertained by himself and his cabinet , but the non-appearance of any such document had thrown doubts on-the
authenticity of the report . Another rumour to the effect that , the President bad ordered troops ! to Boston with a view , to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law , was officially contradicted in the ( Washington ) ' Republic' of the 5 th inst . ¦ ' The' Republic' states that no communication had been received j either from Boston or elsewhere , that could lead to the belief of such a step being required , but adds , that should such an exigency arise , no doubt the President ' would do his duty .

The place which they have selected as & , residence is in ' thexounty of Decatur , on the Crooked Fork River , a delightful stream of moderate size , flowing over a bed of sand and gravel , and affording abundant water power for common' machinery . The climate is agreeable and healthy , and the soil fertile . The land has not yet been surveyed for sale ,
according . to the regulations of Congress ,. and the Colonists therefore are not yet in possession of a valid title . It will no doubt ,-however , be confirmed at the next session of Congress .

By ' Young America' and the' Neiv" York TrL buue , ' we learn that the National Reform Associa . tion have held numerously attended convention s in various states , and have nominated candidates for legislative and executive offices , including tha t of President of the United . States at the next dec . tion . In cases where the candidates of other par . ties on being questioned , pledge themselves to sup . port the measures of the association , these
candidates will withdraw . Senator Walker , of Winsconsin ; is nominated , for the office of President , and ! we presume will ' be carried to the poll ! Vfe extract the following from an able address of the Industrial State Convention , to the electors of the State of New York ' . It contains a'forcible statement of the evils sought to be remedied , the causes to -which they are attributed , and the measures by which the National Reformes seek to achieve their object : — Hundreds of thousands of our citizens are
already homeless , and their numbers are fast increasing . They are dependent on an overstocked labour market for the means of subsistence , whUe , in consequence of their aggregation in cities and villages , through the monopoly of the soil in the country , they are compelled to pay exorbitant prices for the shelter they are forbidden to provide ; for themselves , and subjected ' to higher and higher rents the faster they increase , " and because their . increase gives' the lords of the soil the power to exact them !
Had we the power , we would inscribe this truth in letters of unquenchable fire in the heavens , that any system that enables one set of men to 'live without labour in luxury on the necessities of their fellow beings deprived of the means of self-employment , is a daring iniquitous usurpation of Man ' s Inalienable Right , that ought to be resisted without " cessation and at all hazards . ; Of such a character we declare the usurpation of the soil for the
exclusive purposes of any number less than the whole people ; , and . we call upon our fellow citizens to wage unceasing warfare against that usurpation til the right of every family to a home be acknowledged , and its security made the , first object of government . To this end we urge the ' following as measures of primary importance , and ' to be insisted on as such among the qualifications of all candidates for public Office :
• 1 . To prevent any further monopoly of the soil ' , by limiting the quantity that any one individual , or association of persons , may hereafter acquire . - " 2 . To exempt the home ' atead from all liability for debt . 3 . To prevent any further traffic in the public lands ,: , by declaring them free to ! actual settlers , in limited quantities , and transferable only to . those posseased of no other lands . . ,, These are the measures which we consider of radical importance . Besides restoring , the soil to the people ; arid securing homesteads to all in one
generation at farthest , and at once reversing the present tendency to higher rents , iower ' . wages ' , and want of employment ' , they will , of their own' operation , remove many existing evils for which surface remedies are required and proposed ^ ' 'We would have our legislators , first and foremost , -provide against land monopoly ) by themeasures above Earned ; andtheuj , having secured the downfall of themaster evil , we would have them , instead , ! as heretofore , of legislating almost exclusively for the benefit ; of capital , turn their . attention to measures ; for the present relief of dowu-trodden labour . , , ' .- '
Toolong have the industrial classes been misled and estranged from ; . each other by party , names This state ; of things ' lias , resulted , almost necessarily from the great evil which we h ' aye . now organised to uproot . One operation of land motibp 61 y has been to amass wealth in the hands of non-producers , Who by r aearisof it have controlled legislation , and procared . unnumbered privileges . to . ' enable associated wealth Vo extract usary from the people ' by ' schemes ostensibly for the public good , for objects which the people were unable to accomplish : for themselves , because isolated and deprived ; of' their . rightful means by land monopoly . In : time large numbers
of landless . people have become dependent for employment and existence on the privileged , interests thus created , andhaye been-iriduced to take-sides with ilie rival capitalists , struggling ; for legislative aid at the public . expense . 'Another . effect . of , the foundation wrong has been to complicate and render difficult ; and expensive exchanges of . products ^ by unnaturally crowding the mechanics in cities , ' and unnecessarily scattering the agricultural population , thus Engendering a class o f ¦( omt & llm of products , ' who take the lion ' s -share ' 'for their , services ' , ' and
necessitating a hotbed system of credit , in aid of which has been invoked the interposition of a burdensome horde of lawyers ; arid a costly legal 'machinery . As the landless have ^ crowded the avenues of : useful labour , and- reduced its compensation * in . creasing multitudes have preferred , thechances of office to the chances of productive ' ' employment illy compensated , and thus have the toilers been arrayed in antagonism , to . each other ,, and led to war upon one another politicall y , under , party ' leaders , and urged on by party cries !• : ''" ' "'
: That foljy has had Us day . V . The toilers have sought out the origin 0 f th ' ei multiplied wrongs , and have devised a radical remedy . They demand the Restoration of the Soil tb . the' People , as the onlytneans of securing the righta of 'life , liberty andtliepursuit of happiness , ' asserted in the Deck ' . ' ration of Independence . They demand this by measures dictated by a . spirit of ., compromise , fully consciousat the same time of their right to revolutionary and immediate thorough redress if their moderate demand be disregarded , while increasing Poverty and Pauperism is the only alternative for them and their posterity . For Land Restoration as the radical ' remedy , and for temporary aJleviative measures , ' such as have been indicated , will they
vote , regardless of party names , till their just requirements be fulfilled or they become satisfied that the right of suffrage is inadequate to tlieendsof Justice . Radical Reformers in this . country would do well to . lay these important truths ta heart , and ponder'hem deeply .
