Russell, "The Times" And O'Connell
RUSSELL , " THE TIMES" AND O'CONNELL
A great problem to be now solved by all classes is , whether such a coalition as that standing at the head of this article is either tbe promised fruits of the Reform Bill or the tribute due to the acknowledged improvements of the age . It was natural that the five years electrif y ing policy of Sir Robert Peel should have so galvanized the public mind as to reconcile even adverse opinions to a temporary-cessation of political differences for the purpose of
testing some of the novelties of the great statesman To this circumstance , and to it alone , can we ascribe the toleration accorded to the experiment of the new Whig Premier . In this triple alliance Lord John Russell figures as a mere puppet , sustained by the Times aud Mr . O'Connell , as we doubt much his power to preserve his ascendancy for a single week if deprived of the pliancy of the one , or the servility of the other .
It was easy to reconcile the party who ousted Sir Robert Peel from office to a mere occupation Government , however distasteful , until their pique against their old leader bad subsided ; but we doubt much that , upon reflection , even the Protectionists will test satisfied-under their present humiliation 5 —a humiliation the most degrading to which any nation has ever been subjected—a humiliation that will not be tolerated even hy the affrighted respectable classes upon the presumed necessity of
subduing Chartism and checking democratic principles . If the proud Lords of England , who confessedly accepted Sir Robert Peel ' s commercial policy upon the plea that Her Majesty and the circumstances of the age required a strong- Government , and if the phantom of that which has now been enthroned upon their weakness had _ been fore-shadowed in the distance , we much doubt that the hereditary peers of England would have made so large a sacrifice to insured humiliating and degrading an insult .
Tbe nation has not yet raised itself from that lethargy and surprise into which it was thrown by the eviction of a minister boasting of bis large maj orities—the strength of his government—the countenance of his Sovereign—the confidence of tbe mouied classes , and the respect of the industrious . We would ask , however , whether even the liberal constituencies of England , the parties who alone can eke even the semblance of a triumph out of Russell ' s position , are satisfied with being ruled by a finality minister , an Irish placebunter , and the salesman of a corrupt and venal newspaper . It is not two months since these worthies , now fraternized as
a government , were ranged one against the other , in deadly hostility . Not a meeting atConciliation Hall , where the villainy of the llmesaad the treachery of the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , did not furnish the Liberator with a stock for his trading speech . Not a number of the Times appeared that did not teem with denunciation of the Liiieral landlord of Cahirciveen , and reflections upon the incompetency of the present Prime Minister , if called up on to succeed Sir Itobert Peel . And yet , notwithstanding the fact of this recent disunion staring us in the face , we now find a perfect brotherhood established between those heretofore adverse elements , and society is told to rest satisfied with their sway .
We know not how the country gentlemen may feel—how the liberals of England did feel—before Lord John Russell ' s new declaration of principles ; but we do know that the working classes will rise as one man , in the majesty of their moral power , and hurl for ever this trinity of humbug , corruption . and treachery , from office . We have thrice before been asked to give the Whigs a fair trial . We have seen them tottering and ignominiously hurled from office , for relying upon the hired support of an Irish faction , rather than upon that party and those principles by which they had achieved power . And now we are asked to give bur old enemies , our
latter andirreconcileable enemies , ANOTHER "FAIR TRIAL . This is the question which we are called upon to solve , and upon which the country will shortly be tested ; and although onr broad sheet receives no favor at the hands of authority , although it is not to be found upon the table of the Club House or the tavern , although it is not patronised by the upper and middle classes , we yet unhesitatingly state that it is the dial that governs the millions ; it expresses the sentiments , which at a general election can overthrow the preparations of the Times , the hopes of the Whigs , aud the anticipation of the Irish place-hunters .
Our policy then is to snap and break up every Whig government professing other principles than those prop ounded by the reformers , and relied upon by the Whigs . Our policy is to repudiate all connection with tbe Irish placehunters ,, who have created a prejudice , under false pretences , against the English Chartists , and whose chief value to the Whigs is their professed opposition and hostility to Chartism . The
coalition attempted to be formed by Lord John Russell , with the most able of the Tory party , can leave no doubt upon our mind as to the lengths to which the Whig Minister is prepared to go , rather than make those TIMELY and PRUDENT CONCESSIONS so prominently set forth in his Edinburgh epistle . Russell ' s invitation to Lord Dalhousie , the Earl of Lincoln , and Sidney Herbert , three supporters of the Irish Coercion Bill , "will be a ready hustings answer to the Liberal scouts who shall h enceforth
charge Chartists with a preference for Tory over Whig candidates . The cry of " Tory Chartists " must now cease for ever . Cobden saved Peel from eviction , and Russell appealed to three Tories to sustain him in power . We shall , henceforth , therefore , turn a deaf ear to the ravings ot the Liberator , the revilings of " Old Bloody , " and the taunts of the liberal scouts ; aud when the next opportunity presents itself , re gardless of slander or vituperation , we shall be found marshalled in battle array , and dire hostility , against the English renegade Premier , the Irish place-hunter and betrayer of his country , and tbe bloody old
Times . Neither shall we he nice , or over scrupulous as to the weapons used in action—we shall take up JANISSARY , or PROTECTIONIST , or whatever cudgel comes nearest to hand , to aid us in the warfare against the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs " —the betrayers of their principles , the murderers of Holberry , Duffy , and Clayton ; the transp ortcrs of Frost , Williams , aud Jones , and the Dorchester Labourers ; the coercers of Ireland , and the starvers of the English people . And it matters but little , whether the cry is Cheap Sugar , though we like it ; Cheap Timber , though we want it ; or Cheap Bread , though those who grow It will shortly be unable to buy it .
The League took a leaf out of our book , when they adopted the motto , * ' One thing at a lime j" we can accommodate ourselves to the same rule , and , without neglecting the Land or the Charter , direct our
Russell, "The Times" And O'Connell
immediate energies to the overthrow of ' the enemies of both , and our motto is—" The Charter and No Surrender , " and , when the struggle begins , our cry will be " Down with tbe Whigs , " whether succeeded byTories , Conservatives , Janissaries , orProtectionists . Where we can't secure a Chartist , we will endeavour to beat a Whig ;
Duncombe
DUNCOMBE
We feel assured that every true-born Englishman , every honest Irishman , every independent Scotchman , and all who are subject to British rule ,, must have read Duncombe's speech of Thursday , the 16 th instant , with surpassing pride . The occupation Ministry had , no doubt , presumed upon the support of a venal and corrupt press , which , as if by compact , all rallied to the aid of the finality Minister , while the little gentleman himself and his Irish Janissaries had calculated upon sufficient repose and Chartist non-interference , to allow him to mould his
cabinet to the existing necessities of middle-class money-mongers . Duucombe , however , has drawn him from that calm retreat in which he hoped to shelter himself from public scrutiny , and from the confessions , the degrading and humiliating confessions , wrung from the Free Trade Minister who promised us those PRUDENT CONCESSIONS due to popular requirement , will any honest man say that we were hasty , intemperate , or * premature in having drawn the sword against this unholy coalition of Whig treachery , newspaper venality , and Irish delinquency .
We were the first to announce the adherence of the Times newspaper to the policy of Lord John Russell , nor can we forget the withering effect produced upon Sir John Cam Hobhouse at the . disclosure of Russell ' s invitation to the three juvenile Tory statesmen of which he begged a loan from Sir Robert Peel . . Who that saw Lord John Russell bid for popular support—who that read his celebrated letter , declaring the necessity of PRUDENT
CONCESSIONS being made to growing opinion , could have been prepared for that declaration of finality policy wrung from him by the hon . member for Knsbury . It was not a sufficient answer to Mr . Duncombe ' s question that he would resist the five points of the Charter , as reminded by Mr . Duncombe , that was foreign to his question . . Tlie question was not whether he would aid in carrying the Charter , but how far he would extend the suffrage hevond its present inconvenient limits .
No doubt , had the finality Lord anticipated a general election , he would have taken care whatever the realization might have been , to have provided himself with a good and sufficient CRY—such a CRY as would have hampered the movement party—such a CRY as might have enabled his Irish coadjutor to denounce || the English Chartists as foes to Ireland and enemies to progression . We care but little , as to the question upon which the present Administration shall he destroyed ; whether it shall be upon Sugar , or Murder in the Army—upon Timber , or the Irish Church—upon Confidence , orN o Confidencewith whatever parliamentary character they next come before the country , they will be met by the registered principles , by the damning stand-still , or retrogade policy of the finality Prime Minister .
However he may have anticipated a sufficient calm to insure the harmonious moulding of those incongruous elements of which his motley Cabinet is composed , be has roused a feeling in every British heart inimical to the insulting sway of a hired Newspaper , a place-hunting Patricide , and a Malthusian clique . That repose , upon which the noble Lord so firmly built , could not be securely based upon temporary dislike to Sir Robert Peel . Tbe government
of that great statesman , though shattered for a time , will be rallied by the pressure from without . There are Tories , as well as Whigs , Janissaries and Protectionists , as well as Free Traders , who are jealous of patronage , and feel insulted by Whig dominion . And with none of these parties will the Working Classes unite , for any other-purpose than that of the destruction of the most cold . blooded Malthusian middle-class Government that ever attempted to blight the hope of industry .
In Ireland , the enemies of progression have trumped up the old phantom , not of physical force , but of passive obedience and non-resistance , as tbe rallying cry of the place hunters . Wc have read the declaration of Mr . Smith O'Brien at Kilrush , so much repudiated by the old women of Conciliation Hall ; we have read the allegories of the 5 T 0 UN G GENTLEMEN about physical force and we defy the most maudling or fastidious old woman to ascribe to them any desire , or any inclination , to resort to other than moral and peaceable means for
the accomplishment of their object . But how nice and hypercritical the senses of the patriots , who plead Ireland ' s cause against the Saxon oppression , must be , when they see fire in warm expression , and daggers in the pourtrayal of wrong . If that barmony , considered so essential for the accomplishment of the Repeal , shall be destroyed by this hypercritical distinction between moral and physical force , between hard and soft words , between submission , loyalty , and just resistance to oppression , then tbe crime of disunion will be justl y chargeable upon the hypercritical Liberator , and his fastidious moral force old
women . No doubt can exist , that Russell looked to Irish subserviency as the mainstay of his Cabinet ; while , notwithstanding the fearful odds of patronage and despotism against the aspiring hope of liberty , we yet calculate upon the triumph of Irish princip le over patronage aud Saxon misrule . O'Connell will endeavour to govern by those priests who have long followed in his train , and who have preferred following
him in error to turning him from his wayward path . But there is yet some Milesian blood running in the veins of tbe young priesthood of Ireland , and they whose fatherland was despoiled by the fire and the sword of the usurper , whose estates where confiscated to the physical force conqueror , will neither blush nor tremble at the presumption of liberating their country , and regaining their lost rights , by the same means by which they were transferred to a foreign line .
Again , we ask , why all the blarney about Irish strength , Irish valour , and Irish love of country , if iwo-Jisted Irishmen are taught to shudder at the bare mention of resisting tyranny by force , and regaining their ri ghts by the same means by which they were robbed of them . It is impossible to witness the sale of Dungarvan to an anti-repealer and a Whig p laceman , and the sale of Dundalk to a Whig official , without coming to the conclusion that Ireland's battle must be fought upon English ground , from which despotism and reli g ious
prejudice have been banished . All difference has now ceased to exist between Whigs and Tories , Freetraders and Monopolists , the ground is now cleared of those political distinctions which made Chartists tremble at the charge of being allied to the one or to the other . " A fellow-feeling makresus wondrous kind , " and mayhap the English laudlords , now stripped of THEIR privileges , may assist the working classes in regaining THEIRS ; and therefore , whatever may be the result , our CRY upon the next general election shall be—a CHARTIST IF WE CAN , and no Whig if we cannot .
We must erase the odious name of Whig from memory altogether , and trample for ever upon the base , brutal , and bloody coalition of newspaper venality , Whig delinquency , and Irish profligacy . Our cry is—Down with the Whigs !
Parliamentary Review
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW
The new Premier has lost no time in Attacking the Sugar question , and has thereby exposed his Cabinet to a strong chance of a defeat by the con . »
Parliamentary Review
bined forces of the West Indian and Protectionist parties . The general impression is , that his plan is likely to be lost , so that he will be forced to a Dissolution immediately . Perhaps this is Ms object , in introducing tbe question at the fag-end . of a session which has been distinguished for its eventful and laborious character . He needs " a cry , " and something definitive to go to the country upon ; and as he has neitLer the political honesty , nor courage , to face any of the great Questions , in office , which he supported when out of it , he must be anxious to secure the support of the sh ' opkceplng and trading classes , by the proposition of a measure , which , at all events , squares with their notions .
As To The Pian Itself , It Seems A Fair ...
As to the pian itself , it seems a fair and judicious settlement of a question of considerable importance . Borrowing a leaf from " Peel ' s " book , Lord John proposes a diminishing scale of duties on foreign , free , and slave Sugars , for five years ; when the same Duty as that now levied on British Colonial , ( 14 s . per cwt . ) will be levied on all Sugars , indiscriminately . His Lordship intimated , that further reductions might then be made ; but that would depend on the state of the revenue at the termination of that period . The existing prohibitory duty of 63 s , a cwt . on slave grown sugars , is immediately to be abolished , aud the starting point for all foreign sugars is 21 s .
Of course , Exeter Hall will be in agonies at this proposal , and the proprietors of West India estates will find in the foolish , hut sincere , anti-ilavery party , capital allies . The cry raised against the importation of slave grown sugar , by that crotchetty andirapracticable party , may be respected in their case on account of its earnestness , but when raised by those , who , while they were slave-owners themselves , opposed to the utmost the efforts for emancipation , it can only be scouted as a piece of transparent and shabby hypocrisy .
The cry itself is on every ground untenable . If the principle that we are not to use slave grown produce is to be carried out , why not apply it to slave grown cotton , tohacco , a . VMl vnauy otto articles which enter largely into general consumption . If it be wrong to sweeten your tea or coffee with sugar raised by slave labour , it must be equally wrong to wear a shirt or smoke a pipe coming from the same
source . The Protectionist party , however , in renewing the fight on this ground , shows the sincerity of their belief in the principles of protection itself . The Free Trade party asserted that when the landlords' monopoly in Corn was abolished , they would join in knocking down all other monopolies ; ou the first opportunity which has been afforded them , they have falsified these predictions . They adhere to their principles . On the other hand , tbe free traders seem to be not particularly sanguine about the results of their long fought battle , It is quite wonderful to see the
abatement which has taken place in tbe triumphant and glowing promises of the blessings which were to follow the abolition of the Corn Laws . These blessings are growing ¦ ' small by degrees and beautifully less" as we approach the time when they should be realised , and we fear on closer proximity , they will vanish entirely like a dissolving view . In the factory districts the masters have caused their hands to make holiday , in order to rejoice over the " great victory ; " hut the work people who had their wages docked on that account by their free booting employers would , we dare say , have rather been without the " play . "
The horrible and revolting case of murder , perpetrated by the lash on a private of the 7 th Hussars , was the subject of a question in the Commons on Monday night . That solemn and sleek saint , Fox Maule , tried to explain away the damning fact , and attributed the death of the soldier to natural causes , instead of tbe brutal and monstrous flogging to which be had been subjected . With a callousness and an impudence which only a Whig official could exhibit , he assured the House that " the
punishment of the man had nothing to do with his death , " and having adduced the authority of the parties implicated in tins murder for that assertion , he proceeded forthwith to rebuke with pertness the conductors of tbe press for their ignorance and their exaggeration . How far these qualities are ascribable to himself , and not to the press , our readers will judge after referring to the blood-curdling accoun in another column , of the beastly cruelties of which tbe murdered man was the victim . On the same
evening , the punishment of flogging in the navy wa discussed , and we had again the spectacle of Whigs defending in office practices which they denounced out of it . The abominable practice of flogging in both the army and navy is one of the disgraceful indications now left among us of the iron rule of the aristocratical classes . It is a standing memento of the subjection of the working section of society to the tyranny and cruelty of the few . It is vain to boast of liberty or enlightenment while such revolting and
horrible barbarities are coolly perpetrated amongst us . Wc say coolly , for though they made some of the private soldiers who witnessed them faint and fal down , the same witness tells us " none of the officers fainted like the men J" They are amateurs who delight in such spectacles , and have no dread of the cat being applied to their own backs . Shame on tbe Legislature and the people which allows its soldiers and its sailors to be treated worse than they are in other nations confessedly behind us in political freedom .
The other topics in Parliament have been of little interest . On Tuesday night , Lord John permitted another " Count out , " in order to avoid facing a motion of Mr . Duncombe . This , in conjunction with the damaging exhibition of the previous Friday , betokens that the Ministry is in a most rieketty condition . Its chief speaks and acts as though it was under the deep conviction that his official career is to be a short one , and that he and his co-incapables will be shortly relieved from the responsibilities of power .
To that end the exposition forced from them , by the indomitable courage and manly frankness of the People ' s Champion , will mainly conduce . If , by opening the eyes of the conntry to the hollow truckling and time-serving nature of the new Ministry , Mr . Duncombe does succeed in driving so shabby a set of pretenders from power , it will add one more important benefit to the long list , for which his fellow countrymen have to thank him .
I The Convention
i THE CONVENTION
In rep ly to several- correspondents the Executive have to state , that the travelling and other expenses of delegates to the approaching Convention , will be defrayed from the funds of the Association , but at the same time , it must be understood that the funds are very low , aud ( he Executive therefore rely upon the various localities sentlini * in their contributions at once , so that when the Convention terminates its sittings , tlie accounts of the Association may present a balance , to enable the Executive to prosecute whatever course may be agreed upon by the representatives of the people .

Madame Lappam)**.—The Heroine Of The Rom...
Madame Lappam )** . —The heroine of the romantic cam celcbre , so notorious a few years ago , has for some time been in a state of ill health that prevented her quitting her cell . On Sunday last , however , she went , in the penitentiary dress , to hear mass in the prison chapel . Madame Litharge , having asked as a favour to be allowed to devote herself to the service of the sick , she has been charged with the supcrintendance of the infirmary . Immkksb Fire . —The village of Quinceret , in the arrondissement of Tcunerre ( Yonno , ) has been entirely destroyed by fire ; ninety-two houses became a p rey to the devouring element . It is added , that several persons fell victims to the flames , among whom were a young woman of 22 , an old man and woman , aud three children .

all the monies received by me up to Saturday last , and all of which will appear paid into the hank , to tbe Treasurer ' s account , according to the dates standing opposite each amount . You -will observe , that the last lodgment was made on Saturday' last , before this week ' s subscri ptions had been paid . Now , then , let Mr .

Jciian Habnet has received for Mr . Frost from Stock . ton-on-Tees . 153 . 9 d . ; for tlie Veteran Patriots and Exiles' Widows , from Brighton , 10 s 3 d . ; for the Chartist Executive , ( from Bri ghton ) , 3 s . Pc-st . Office Oiidebs—Some weeks ago I received an order fur 5 s . for Mr . Frost , from Lumberhe ; id Green , through a mistake at the Wigan post-office , cash for tlie order was refused in London . Previous to presenting the order for the money I had paid the 5 s ,, with other monies , to Mr . Rogers , but up to this time I hare not received the cush from the London office , Besides heiug the money out of pocket in-self , and others have been put to no little trouble in writing letters and running to the General post-offiee , ( some miles from the Star office . ) Last week I received two post-ofrice orders for £ 3 each , for Mr . Frost , from
Ashton-under-Lyne— -money for both these orders has been refused because my name , as received at the post office , is not exactly as I write it . - On Thursday , I received an order for 15 s . for Mr , Frost , from Queenshead , made payable at the "London" office—meaning Sc , Martin ' s-le-Grant 'above two miles from tiie Star office , notwithstanding that I liaro several times requested that all orders should be made payable at Ficeadilly . G . J . Eaunet , Veteran Patriots Fond , & c—I must again intimate that so much is my time occupied , that it is impossible for me to receive subscriptions for this fund . The committees should meet without delay and appoint some person in whom the country has confidence to receive the monies . Mr . Shaw or Mr , -Sla-lton can Imvs the 10 s . 3 d . from Brighton by applying at the Star office .
% 3 ~ 1 thank my friends for their confidence , proved by eutrusting me with the monies for Mr . Frost , but my time being greatly occupied , I must request that all monies for Mr . Frost , mar in future be sent either to Mr . O'Connor , Mr . Wheeler , or Mr . Rogers . Mil . It . IUwlev , Corbi- 'dge . —Mi right . Notice . —Those Agents who have neglected sending their past quarter ' s accounts will not be supplied with the Sonheni Star after this notice , should not tiie balance be immediately remitted . The Land Society . —A Correspondent asks , — "When do you think a Ballot will take place for tbe 2 nd Section ?"—In the course of a few weeks . The Uirectors art now looking for a suitable purchase . KiDDERMiNSTti' —All communications for this hraneh must bo addressed to George Holloway , Sag ' s Head
Inn , Bewdley-street . II . KoiiiNsoN , Edinburgh . —Received . " Hope , " should not be in such a hurry ; " Hope" has Italia *'} - to wait a little . "Ye had no time to look ar your lines last week , and therefore e ouid not notice them . We have now read and must respectfully decline to insert them . "Hope" must try again , and hop-- on . Bishop Auckland A Chartist—your district shall be attended to as soon as practicable . Notice . —If Mr . Bairstow will sent to his friends at Sutton in Ashfield , as he promised to do , they will feel obliged . Alfhicd Fenxeix . —The lines shall appear as soon as we can find room . R . S . Reed . —We are obliged for your warm-hearted
rhymes , their insertion would however savour too much of egotism on our part . "The Factokt Maid" may find a place iu our next "Feast of the Poets . " T . 11 . Sjiabt . —Tlie song shall appear as soon as we hare room . Notice , —Mr . Richard Omcrord , of Rouen , Frame , having taken out u second share , has declined the acceptance of his two-acre allotment at " O'Coimorvillc . ' •' Mr , Charles Smith , of Halifax , is therefore entitled to take his place . Thomas Martin Wueeleb , Secretary . Tue Siioemakebs . —Of late we have received several accounts of dissensions amongst the London shoemakers , secessions from the Mutual Assistance Association , and the formation of new societies . We have given some of these communications divested , however , of the personalities with which they were sometimes interiai-tlcd . We litivo received another report from tiie same party which as it contains nothing really new or
Important we must decline inserting . The latter end of last week , too late far notice , we received a report of a meeting of shoemukers at Cheltenham , from which it appears that the shoemakers of that town hare separated themselves from the Mutual Assistance Association , on the ground that the Association had not fulfilled its pledge of support to Cheltenham . New laws were adopted for the guidance of the new society . A letter was read from Birmingham enclosing an order for 20 ? . on loan . The Cheltenham letter very strongly ceiisntes certain parties connected wiih the Mutual Assistance Association but we iyuas - . d « cl \\ w ywMsMttg these personal matters . The conimunieniions on this subject we liave already published have given offence to the " opposite side . " Now once for all , we beg to say tkatwv are not partisans of this or that section of the shoc-intiki rs . We deplore these misunderstandings and think that they will be best settled in the meetings of the trade without bringing them before the public ,
