LORD JOHN RUSSELL A CHARTIST . Heigho . ' We live in queer times when we have witnessed the adoption of the six point ; of the scoffed-at , condemned , and persecuted Charter , by the Prime Minister of England . Of course we speak comparatively , as all things are judged by comparison , and the noble lordjat the head of Her Majesty ' s Government has declared his preference for the six-legged animal—bristles and all—as compared with the limping quadruped of the honourable member for Montrose .
Those who have witnessed the progress of the contemned beast from its infancy to its present giant strength , will derive no small consolation from the speech of the noble lord ; even the calm discussion upon the subject in the House of Commons , independent of its adoption by the whole people outside , must give to it an impetus which popular clamour , as it is called , never could impart . The reviled
Chartists may hold their meetings and proclaim their principles , but their sentiments were confined within the dead walls of the meeting house , or scattered to the winds outside , as their publication did not suit the interest or the purpose of those who have not yet fraternised with the poor , the unrepresented , and non-advertising portion of the community . The ordeal through which every popular agitation has to pass ,
is—I ' irsfc—scoff , derision , and laughter ; next apprehension , doubt , and fear ; then slander , reviling , and persecution ; then deliberation ; then argument ; then legislation ; and finally , ascendancy ; as from the very nature of man he is averse to the principle of finality . Hence we find that there are trials to which classes , as well as sentiments , must be subjected . When a class is oppressed it first looks for toleration , and pleads meekly for the boon , and having achieved that object it pleads more stoutly for equality , until emboldened by concession and inspired by natural instinct , it contends for ascendancy . Such is the present position
of the English People ; they have thrown off the yoke of serfdom , and constituting not only a numerical majority of the nation , hut the strength and sinew of the nation , they contended for equality through the Reform Bill , and that measure having failed to realise those prospects of equality held out by its supporters , they now boldly and manfull y contend for ascendancy . And why should they not have it ? Does not the parent assume dominion over his offspring , and is not Labour the parent . of Capital ? although , hitherto , the unnatural laws made by the few have made the parent subservient to the edicts of the child .
The debate on Mr Hume ' s motion furnishes food for deep thought , and grave consideration . It realises the prediction of the Char t st Chief , that the day would " arrive when Peel and Russell would bid for popular support , by an adhesion to popular principles ; and any man who reads the speech of the Prime Minister , must feel convinced that , though delivered from the Treasury Bench , it was framed as a precedent to be quoted from the Opposition side of the House ; and when the noble Lord , who has fought the sexipede against the quadruped , shall again breathe in that gloomy region , he will refer , not to the 10 th of April for the triumph of the ' Specials / ' but to the 20 th of June for the promulgation of his principles .
There was something artful , as well as precautionay , in that speech . With the horrors of an empty Exchequer , the noble lord baited the hook with Savings' Bank deposits as a qualification for the voter , while he was compelled to admit the injustice of excluding any , if any were admitted . Now , this is a valuable admission , coming from the Prime Minister of England , and one which we trust the people will turn to profitable account . The noble lord has sounded the trumpet of agitation , and has proclaimed his preference for the more extensive principle ; and as Ministerial influence cannot be denied , it , therefore , becomes the bounden and paramount duty of the supporters of the minor proposition to merge their principles in the major .
" Old birds are not to be caught with chaff ; " and the only conclusion at which we can arrive , from a perusal of the . noble lord ' s
" Spread, Spread Tbe Caarter , Spread Th...
speech , is , that his . object was to divide the parties seeking their respective reforms in the House of Commons ; but , however the effect of his speech may he to invigorate and embolden the pressure from without , we have much doubt that his bait will be taken within , as we presume that all who would vote for the larger , will also vote for the smaller . It was very foolish , and more than ridiculous , to presume that the mind of England would stand idle—or rather retrogade—while revolution was fluttering around this seahound dungeon , chained by class legislation and little hope is to be drawn from the exultation of the hired Press , that not more than ... -, .- t a ! .., , K ,,:, 1 rt 4 l . rt
j 20 000 signatures have ' . been appended to petitions for Mr Hume ' s motion . People onl y ' p etition when they have reason to anticipate i a calm consideration of the wrongs complained of ; but they become moody , silent , and dog-; ged , when those « rungs are scoffed at . Such i has been the feeling of the English people since the 10 th of April—when the enthusiasm of the " specials" silenced the voice of the complainants , and such will remain their resolve until their every right is conceded . The speech of Mr Fox was argumentative , p hilanthropic , humane , and eloquent . The orator placed tbe people ' s claim" upon its legitimate foundation , and urged it with an irresistible power .
In eulog ising the working classes upon their attainments , however , he committed the blunder of ascribing the publication of the c Purgatory of Suicides' to the generosity of the hon . member for Buckinghamshire , while of right it belongs to thehon . member for Nottingham , who was the means of publishing it to the world . However , there was a flow of majestic eloquence pervading the speech of the Hon . Member , which was divested of the feudal grasp and the speculative cupidity . It was for the people , and for the people only—it breathed the pure spirit of liberty—it advocated the right of freedom—and the right of freemen to make laws for themselves—and , unpalatable as it was to both sides of the House , it elicited boundless cheers from all .
The speech of Mr Disraeli was one of bitter and cutting sarcasm against those who promised so much , and did so little , for the poormingled with a proud and magnanimous appeal to their natural patrons to stand up as the protectors of their natural clients , and rescue them from the art of those who make merchandise of their credulity and confidence . Upon the whole . Tuesday night ' s debate may
he looked upon as the conception of Chartism , and nothing now can postpone its birth hut the indolence , the negligence , or the want of exertion , of the people themselves . They have , for the first time , been acknowledged as the party in the ascendant by the Prime Minister of England . Let them , therefore , maintain that position , and not merge the greatness of the principle in the littleness of speculation .
We have always told the people , that if they surrendered theinlarger claim to-morrow , their professing friends would surrender their smaller claim upon the next day , and that , therefore , like creditors with jast claims , it is their duty to sue for twenty shillings in the pound of the debt due to them . The resolution and voice of Chartism outside has compelled the English Minis ) er to acknowledge its power inside , and , therefore , it is ourjduty to march
onward , and as public meetings are called for the purpose of testing public opinion , it becomes the bounden duty of the Chartists to support the admission of the Prime Minister of England , that the "ANIMAL"is in the ascendant . Let them , then , upon every occa sion when public opinion is to be tested , meet in their thousands and their tens of thousands , and proclaim their principles in opposition to all others . Those who have mounted the
quadruped have not complained of tbe suppression of public opinion—they have not complained of any special or particular grievance under which the people suffer , while they hope to gull the people with a notion that they are their only friends . From this day forth , Chartism must take its stand upon its own base—its motto must be , " All who are not for us are against us "—the rights we contend
for are withheld by all , and , therefore , we are opposed by all and opposed to all . Of course we shall look anxiousl y lor the result of the motion of Mr Hume , and , no doubt , we shall find that it is too much for some , and , like the noble lord , too little for others ; while for ourselves we shall give it our humble support , lest our opposition may furnish its advocates with a justification for declaring our disregard of attachment to popular principles .
In conclusion we would say , that now , more than ever , it becomes the duty of the Chartist party to remain distinct and separate from all others—to hold fast by their principles—and persevere in their honoured
motto" Onward and we conquer ! Backward and wo fnll-S THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !"
To Your Tents, O Israel ! Chartists, You...
TO YOUR TENTS , O ISRAEL ! Chartists , you must be up and doing . Your Tory , Liberal , and Sham-Radical enemies , have asserted that you were put down on the 10 th of April , and extinguished on the 12 th of June . You must prove that your enemies have lied . Theysaid , in 1839 , that you were dead , and again , in 1842 , that there was an end of Chartism ; and on each occasion , there
speedily followed manifestations of your life and your strength . For the third time , the enemies of progress have "slain the slain , " and now , for the third time , you must prove that neither " Specials , " nor " Feelers , ' ' nor military , nor gaolers , nor—worse than all—a vile , lying , corrupt , and truculent Press-gang , are able to kill or silence you . Arise in your strength , men of the masses . Assort your vi . tality , and prove your determination to be free .
Ihe prosy blunderings of Hume have produced one good effect — the recognition of Chartism by the three factions of the House of Commons . The Leaguers . speaking through Mr Fox , whilst supporting the Four-point motion , endeavour to win your support by defending your principles . The Tories , represented b y that odd-fish Disraeli , appeal to the traditions of the past , with the houe ^ the vain hopeof inducingyou to rally under the banners of
feudalism . And , lastly , the Whigs , findingtliPir mouthpiece in Lord J . Russell , can advance no better arguments with which to oppose Hume , than that the majority of the ^ unrepresented demand a more extensive Reform , full and honest representation , as provided for in the Charter . Lord John Russell prefers the Charter to Hume ' s scheme , because complete and based upon a princip le—the common and equal ri g hts of
all-It is true that whilst preferring' the Charter to the "four points'' scheme , the Whig Premier has no intention of making the Charter a " Cabinet measure ; " but
" Work a little longer , " and even such an exhibition of Jim Crewism —out-Peeling Peel—may be seen . It will be seen , and that speedily too , if you do your duty . As Mr Hume has proposed one scheme of Reform , and his supporters and opponents have either advocated or admitted the superiority of another ; and as , under these circumstances , the House of Commons may fairl y affect to feel mystified , as to what reall y is the popular demand ; means should be taken
to put an end to this uncertain state of things . We suggest , 1 st . —That the unrepresented people attend all public meetings called b y the "Re . formers , " and , without noise or clamour , calmly and earnestly insist upon the full recognition of their rights , by proposing and carrying an amendment for the Charter . Let the Chartists see that the amendment , when carried , is made the prayer of the Petition ; and if , in any instance , on the Charter being adopted , tbe conveners of the meeting refuse
* . « «^ «„ « f » f h t \\ a \\ i \ c \ naaa lof iha P Ji'ii ' f rc ^ to go on wi . th the business , let the Chartists do the work for them . Adopt the petition , and take Steps tO P lace it in the hands of some member who will be sure to present it and do justice to the petitioners . 2—Without waiting to * meetings called by the " Reformers , '' and in addition to what may be done at such meetings when calledjet petitions be immediately got up , something like the following : — To the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament assembled—The Petition of the Undersigned SllBWETH ,
t That year petitioners have learned with gts & i satisfaction the disavowal of sentiments attributed to the Prime Minister , that her Majesty's advisers were oppotei to all reform : That jour petitioners fully adopt the sentiment of the Prime Minister , that " tho whole population of this kingdom have a right to the best possible government , " which , your petitioners respectfully submit , has not bren secured to tbe people of these reiuma by the Reform Bill . Your petitioners are happy to learn that her Majeaty ' a principal a'iviser concurs with thorn as to the superiority of Univetsal over Household Suffrage , and of Annual over Triennial Parliaments .
Your petitioners beg also to express their agreement with tho Prime Minister , that any proposition for Household Suffrage would not satisfy your petitioners , because not based upon tho principles of equal and etornaljustiee . Your petitioners , thfrefore , pray y ur hon . house forthwith to pass into a law the document known as tho People ' s Charter , which would establish parliamentary representation upon the broad and only honest basis of Universal Suffrage , together with the necessary adjuncts to secure equal snd faithful representation , riz .: —Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Diatricts , No Property Qualification for Representatives , and Payment for their Seivioes , And your petitioners will ever pray , & z .
Working men , whatever may be your well grounded disgust for petitioning , we entreat you not to hesitate at sending copies of the above petition—or petitions to the above effeet— -forthwith to the House of Commons . It is very possible that the debate adjourned till Friday ( we write on Thursday ) may be postponed , or if brought on , may be again adjourned . Even should the debate be brought to a conclusion this week , your petitions will
not be too late . Let them be only numerous and numerously signed , and depend upon it they will tell upon both ministers and members . Adopt your petitions at public meetings , either called by yourselves , or by the "Reformers ; " adopt them also at meetings of your associations , clubs , and sections ; likewise in factories , mines , and workshops . Let nei ghbours or members of the same family dub their , signatures . Lastly , let individuals also send their petitions .
Let every Petition have the address in full of each person signing it ; and where petitions have numerous signatures { with the residences ) attached , let tbe persons having { charge of the sheets carefull y watch the signatures . There must be no chance given to the enemy ; neither " Wellingtons" nor " Flatnoses" must be allowed to disfigure the People ' s demand . Address the petitions ( open at each endthey may be sent free ) to Feargus O ' Connor , E ^ q ., MP ., House of Commons . Or , if preferred , the peitions may be sent to any other member , as policy or fancy may dictate . If women sign petitions , let their signatures ( with residences ) be appended to sheets distinct from those containing- the signatures oi the men .
Where persons do not write their own names let each one append his mark , and let the person writing down such signatures state the fact and give his address , in full , at the bottom of the sheet . To the good work at once . On Sunday and Monday next hundreds of Petitions should be prepared and signed . There ought to be a cloud of them overshadowing the House by the middle of next week . Men of the Chartist Councils , leading and active Democrats , we look to you to take the initiative , and set the example . Work—as the sailors say— " work with a will . Strike while the iron is hot . " England aspects that every man will do his duty . '

Parliamentary Review. Mr Hume's Motion H...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Mr Hume ' s motion has had one good effect already . It has brought out the Whi g Premier ' s Budget of Anti-reform arguments . We now know all he can urge against the proposition that the people should be really represented in their own House . The hollowness and the weakness of the oration is only typical of the system it was meant to defend ; and both combined , give good augury of an approaching triumph over the oligarchy , who , under the mask of popular institutions , tyrannise over the people of this country .
Lord John ' s speech taken as a whole , was , in fact , hut a repetition of the speeches of the Duke of Wellington and the Tory opponents of his own Reform Bill . The only original parts of it , those which referred to existing circumstances , were not an improvement upon his predecessors in this line . Perhaps that was unavoidable , when it is considered that the orator had to contend against his own previous speeches , and to fly in the face of his own policy , as well as his own promises . The eagerness with which he seized upon any available sli p of the tongue on the part of Mr Hume —( and
everybody knows that Joseph ' s oratory abounds in them)—and the pettifogging , lawyer-like quibbles on words and phrases , which characterised a great portion of the speech , were conclusive ! proofs that he felt he had no ground of principle to stand upon . Some of his arguments were singularly infelicitous . If they led to any conclusion at nil , they were the very reverse of that assumed by his lordship . He stated that in the earl y part of the Session , large numbers of Petitions bad been presented in favour of the Charter . That at the meetings called for the purpose
of supporting the "Four Points'" movement , Chartist amendments had either been carried , or upon a division the parties were so balanced that the Hume party could not claim the meetings as being in their favour . Ordinary logicians would , from such premises , have drawn the conclusion that the people were in favour of the Charter—consistent and bold statesmen deduced the policy of concession to their wishes in time . Lord John Russell did neither ; because these meetings proved that the majority were in favour of the Charter , and the minority in favour of the " Four
Points , ' therefore he determined to oppose both ! Another curious specimen of political logic was the following . He preferred ferred Annual Parliaments to Triennial Parliaments , therefore he resolved to maintain Septennial Parliaments I The mental process by which such extraordinary conclusions are deduced from such premises , baffles our comprehension , and forces the conviction upon us that "Whi g brains are constituted differentl y from those of the rest of the world . On the whole , Lord John may be safely said to have driven another nail into the coffin of Whig , gism . Whatever may be the immediate result of the motion , the fate of himself and party is by no means problematical .
Tho motion itself had not the benefit of my very strenuous or consistent advocacy , The immense array of facts through which Mr Hume blundered in his usual rambling and unconnected style—if they proved anything at all—estallished propositions far more extensive than those contained in his motion . He , himself , declared that it was unsatisfactory to his own mind , and that , to make it at all consistent , it ought , at least , to have included the abolition of the Property Qualification for Members . Why did he not propose that , if his conviction was ao strong upon the point ? On

the other hand , Mr W . J . Fox , who made one of those beautifully constructed rhetorical [ displays for which lie is so celebrated , argued I not for a suffrage based upon and bricks mor « r tar , but man . His speech , if it went for anything at all , went for the People ' s Charter ; and to have been consistent , it should have concluded with an amendment to that effect . This halting between two measures—this inconsistency of premise and conclusion , was seized hold of b y Mr Disraeli , and brought to bear with great force upon the false position occupied by the "tour point" advocates . It f ha / A )»/))» ) tnnA ] )• W T fiViv wlw \ tyio / 1 . i ^^ . »
must , we think , be apparent to the honest men of the party , that in abandoning the strong ground of principle , and taking up a position on expediency , they , in fact , play into the hands of the anti-reforming party on both sides of the house . The debate , at the time we write , may be said to have only commenced . It will probabl y occupy one or two nightg more and will help us to form a more accurate idea of the relative numbers of parties in the House than we could otherwise have done-It will all also show up a few renegades , who ] because they are now in office , will turn round
and vote contrary to the principles they have all their lives professed to hold . We shall be curious to hear the speeches of Mr G , W . Ward , for instance , who , not long ago , used to second the motions of Mr Duncombe on these questions . Mr JB . Hawes , and others simiarly situated , will also , we imagine , be somewhat puzzled how to reconcile their antagonist position with their former professions . If they escape one horn or the dilemma by remainirur snGnt they must , we presumeto retain office iml
, pale themselves upon the other , by voting against themselves . Either way the Country will know what to think of them . As a speci . men of the position in which the Ministry are placed by their resistance to this motion , we may quote the following resolution , which was proposed by Sir John Hobhouse , at a Middlef Q X ™ ° ? , tf eetin & ori the , 5 th December , 1830 ; - < That no House of Commons would be deserving of the confidence of the People until the ri glrtof Suffrage be extended to all
Householders ; . until each Member of that House be chosen by a proportionate body of Electors ; until the duration of Parliament be materially shortened ; nor until each Elector without hope or fear of private loss or gain ' be allowed to Vote by Ballot . " The resolution proposed by Mr Hume , and that moved by bir John—now a Cabinet Minister-are as like each other as two peas . They embrace the same points , enumerated in almost precisely the same order . What will Sir John now say , or do , with reference to measures of which he said , " With these measures the
Ministers may do every thing for the good of the People ; without them nothing ; and i £ you find Ministers not disposed to do their duty , come forward boldl y and tell them so ; and let me add , in the present state of the country , this is a trust they must take , for with , out the People no Administration can do anything . ' Out of that sentence a bill of indictment against Sir John , and his Colleagues , may be framed , upon which an unanimous verdict , from men of all parties , would be re » turned . If they attempt to retain office without passing "measures with which they could do everything , without which thev can
ao nothing , they stand condemned , on their own showing , as a set of paltry place-hunters , who are robbing the people of pay , on the pretence of performing duties which they cannot perform .
The Only Other Topic Worth Y Of Comment,...
The only other topic worth y of comment , is the new Ministerial Scheme of Sugar Duties . It is eminently Whiggish— "a mockery , a delusion , and a snare "—and from the moment of its enunciation , has had the good fortune to dis p lease all parties . We do not remember any measure which has been so unanimously scouted both ia and out of Parliament . The Sugar Duties Act of 1846 , imposeda duty of 14 s- per cwt . upon Muscovado Sugar , the produce of the British West Indies , or of those parts of our East Indian possessions into which the importation of Sugar is prohibited . The same act imposed a duty of li . is . per cwt . upon foreign Muscovado Sugar , until July 5 , 1847—to be diminished Is . in July , 1848 , and to fall Is . 6 d . every subsequent year , till it came to lis . —the duty on British Muscovado Sugar . The conflicting aud vacillating policy of the Imperial legislature towards the West Indian Colonies has all but ruined them . They
clamour loudly for protection or relief from the intolerable position in which they have been placed . The Free Traders on one side , " and the Anti-Slavery party on the other , demur to the only practicable means by which the position of the planters can be really bettered ; and in order to please these opposite parties , Lord John comes forward with ameasure for altering the scale of duties we have named , and substN tuting another . There are to be two declining scales of duty . The duty on British Sugars is to bereducedfroml 4 s . to Ids . per cwt , in 18 W , and to fall is . each succeeding year , until it reaches
10 s ., at which amount it is to be fixed . The duty on foreign Muscovado is to be 18 s . 6 d . ia 1849 , and to be reduced 6 d . in 1850 and 1851 , and Is . in each of the succeeding years till 1854- In 1856 it is to be reduced 2 s ., in order to equalise it with the duty on British sugar The practical result of this complicated and clumsy expedient will be to give the West Indians protection for six instead of three years , after the present year ; that their gradually vanishing protection will start in 1849 from a differential duty of 5 s . 6 d ., instead of 4 s . Cd . There are other results affecting certain
classes of sugars , but the real feature of the plan is , that the ruling differential dut y during the time the scheme ( if carried ) will be in operation , is 5 s . Gd . It has been demonstrated , over and over again , that the difference between the cost of producing sugar ia our West Indian Colonies , by the present system , and that of the sugar of the Brazils , and ether slave-holing colonies , is not less than 15 s . 9 d . per cwt . Lord John ' s scheme , therefore , is clearly no adequate protection to the West Indian , while , on the other hand , by extending the time during
which the protection is to exist , and making it slightly more favourable to the planter than the present scale « f duties , he is violating the canons of the school or * economists whose whole philosophy is wrapped up ia that sngest of maxims , ' " ' Buy in the cheapest , sell in the dearest , market . " The scheme , as we have said , pleases nobod y , nor ought it to do so . It is a transparent juggle . Lord John himself is so satisfied of its utter inadequacy to meet the complaints of the planters , that he proposed to lend ( query give !) them , in addition , £ 500 , 000 , to promote the emigration of free tropical labourers . Thisagainexcites
, , the bile of the anti-slavery party , who see in it the establishment of the slave trade under another name . For our own part , we look upon it as only another of those modes of cutting the Gordian knot of difficulty , to which your Whi g i 8 compelled to resort from sheer want of brains to untie it . This lavish and extravagant scattering of the public money , tor the purpose of bribing discontented interests into silence , is an inherent vice in the
policy of the Whi g party . It is a most destructive and ruinous one . The working classes , or this country will have to pay all these half million loans—which are in reality g ifts—in . one form or another . When the aggregate amount , thus recklessl y squandered by those whose statesmanshi p does not rip , e above the level of a nursery-maid—who p- ' ives lollipops to her crying charge for the purpose of quieting it—is reckoned up , it will ' ue seen that we pay dearl y indeed for the privilege of being ruled by the present mos ' t delectable C »«
