      Christmas. Christmas !—Tlie Very Word Br...

      CHRISTMAS . Christmas !—Tlie very word brings visions of plenteous boards , —of full bowls and blazing logs ; faces of merriment and hearts of joy . Plenteous boards and their accompaniments there will he—but not for the poor . Festivit y and merriment there will be—but not for the poor . The ruined son of toil will pass shivering down the streets , and see where the rich and great are revelling on the birth day of the teacher of universal brotherh ood—the

      incarnation of love , mere }' , and charity . He will hear the lewd laugh of the wealthy—and the hunger of his children . He will see the lights of the festival , —and the darkness of his prospects . He will-feel the triumph of idleness , —and the curse of industry . And then , unbidden thoughts will come pressing on his heart ; ' \? h y is this ? " " Is it for this their God lived and died ? ' '" Is it for this , that I , the creature of an unnatural destiny , am to live and die ?"

      And then tlie words of the parson will ring in his ear : ' suffer in patience—agonise in hope —he a slave . '—be an abject slave on earth , 'andyoumaybe admitted , hereafter , into the kingdom ef heaven . '—And then the truth will come dawning on his soul : Is slavery a qualification for paradise ? Is fear of man a proof of the love of God ? Is suffering here the portal to bliss hereafter ? If so—why plant an liden on earth—wh y give the means of innocent enjoyment , and let the bad enjoy them , and the good want ? Were two Adams created , the one out of clay that makes th « delf

      and the other out of thf . t which makes the china ? Was not Eden first given man to enjoy ? Eden still exists , and we enjoy not . Was man not told afterwards— ' by the sweat of thy brow shall thou live '—and on the sweat of my brow do I starve . Was it not said , — ' They shall not build and another inhabit ; they shall not plant and another eat ?' And , again , 'Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees , to turn aside the needy from judgment , and to take away the right from the poor of my people , that widows may he their prey , and that they may rob the fatherless . '

      And does not the Apostle say : * Brethren ye have been called unto liberty ' Thus the very sword wield . ed . by the Church Militant cuts the hands that wield it ; all around he hears , he reads , the gospel of freedom ; and he feels that those who preach slavery can never be the ministers of God . Houseless—shelterless—foodless—the very outcast staggers down tbe street—past the lighted mansion , thronged with joyous guests —past the magnificent State Church , the keystone of op i ression—past the Barrack , aud the Gaol , aad the Union , and the Almshouse ,

      where ostentatious charity has graven its own praise on stone—and he recollects the lauda . tion so often repeated of England ' " . charitable institutions . ' ' Then he compares the amount of what he has contributed" b y his long life of labour to the national wealth , and what he , as a recipient , would receive in return , and he involuntarily cries , "What ! do they give me back so little of my own ? " Then he goes home to his starving family—the children mourn for bread—and he has none to give ) The wife sinks with hunger , cold , and * despair —he has no comfort to bestow , and then he eries—not for a crumb from the rich man ' s board , but for his own!—not for Charity , but for Restitution .

      Such is the Poor Man ' s Christmas—at which cold , hunger , and despair hold festival in his heart . At no period does the contrast between rich and poor strike more forcibly—at no time does wealth display a greater ostentationwhile nature puts on her severest frown , assumes her sternest guise to the shelterless . At this very time , too , the religious characteristic of the season points the moral , and . as it

      were , reproves the false assumption of Christianity , by a class-government that violates its ! every law and preempt- But may the lesson afforded by the misery and the splendour , the luxury and the squalor , contrasting with each other on every side , not be lost on us at this c-isis . It is an ' opportune preparation for the coming year . That year roust be one of action—let this snort

      pause ' preceding it be ona of thought and preparation . In that year the rising elements of Democracy will come more fully into collision with * the falling phalanxes of faction—it is a a year of promise—but for its . promise to be realised , discretion , union , and energy , are alike requisite . Let the fruits of this season therefore be , to give up every selfish ambition , every petty bickering . We have known men quarrel about imaginary differences , that could hardly , by remotest possibility , affect thecourse of the Charter . Thus localities have been

      disturbed , parties raised , and energy ins been paralysed . The locality has no longer been able . to attend effectively to its duties , —correspondence with-the Central Executive , and through them with the country , has flagged , and from such small beginning , by suctotrifling obstructions , the stream of progression has been stayed on its course . No more of this . Let past dissensions be buried with the passing year , and let us take new hope , new heart ; and new energy , into the next , so that we may adorn it with new victories and added triumphs .

      Parliamentary Review. On Monday Night Th...

      PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . On Monday night the Royal Assent was given to the few Bills passed during the extra Session , and , after a sharp critique upon its doings—or rather the littleness of its doingsin the Upper House , by Lord Ellenborough , and a few hours talk in the Commons—compounded somewhat upon the " hotch-potch " system—Parliament adjourned for six weeks . The short time it has sat has beeli sufficient , however , to give a taste of its quality , and the spirit in which it is likely to legislate in

      future . Judging from its inaugural session , we are inclined to look upon it as a "transitional rather than a positively reforming Parliament . Whatever elements it may contain favourable to those organic and Radical reforms which are absolutely indispensable to the improvement of the condition of , the Industrious Classes will / to a considerable extent , be neutralised by the position of the three great parties towards each other . From the construction of these parties , it is quite evident that Peel and Russell can do anything they please to set about unitedly , or prevent ,

      by the like union , anything from being done which they pleSse to oppose . The Protectionist party , besides being , numerically too small to produce any decided effect upon the combined forces of the Ministerialists . — " In and Out "—are evidently at daggers-drawn among themselves , upon some most essential principles of national policy . In fact , Peel possesses , by the relative position of parties , all the real power of the Government . Lord John has the duties and the responsibility , and he will retain official power only so long as suits the purposes of his great political rival , who is for the nonce his powerful supporter .

      Under such circumstances , no great immediate changes can be looked for in the institutions whioh affect the actual daily lives of the masses . But the character of both of the ruling Statesmen of the day , while forbidding any expectations of radical measures primaril y originated by them , is , in another aspect , favourable to the people . Both of them are bound by their professions , and by their recent policy , to legislate and to govern in accordance with public opinion . That is the great arbiter by which , in future , all questions are to be decided . The Government for the time being are merely the instruments for carrying out its behests

      What shall be the nature of these behests ? Mr Bright tells us , in fact , that they are to emanate from the middle classes . He " asserts , we believe with truth , that the preponderating majority in Parliament is composed of the middle classes—that the Gevernment , in all its bearings , inclines to , and is mainly influenced in its general policy by the middle classes ; and he confidently predicts , that in future every Government in this country must become more and more dependent upon the middle classes . Now if this be a fact—and a glance at the late , and probable future

      Commercial , Financial , and Social Policy of the Country , goes far to support the statementthe Constitution of the country has undergone a profound and momentous revolution , which will not the less affect its future destinies , because it has not been accompanied by the horrors of civil war ; but is owing solely to the influence of the wealth , the activity , and the influences brought to bear by the middle classes upon the rest of the community .

      Henceforward the Landlord and the Labourer , who formerly constituted , in one shape or another , the people of England , and in some fashion or other shared in its powers and worked out its destiny , are to be subjugated to a third middle class , of comparatively recent origin , and representing neither the Land nor the Labour of the country , but the product of both—its floating Capital , which bv some means or other has fallen into the hands of that class , and which has been made an

      instrument by them to coerce at once the Lords of the Soil , and the Industrial Masses , into subjection to their policy . The balance of power is destroyed—the nice checks and counter-checks upon which theoretical writers on the British Constitution used to pride themselves , have vanished , and the country is delivered over to the rule of an enterprising , active , wealthy , but selfish class , who are more likely to resemble King Stork than King Log , in their future dealings with the labour of the country .

      If the policy to 1 come be judged of by the past , the sons of Industry have hut little to be thankful for in this change of virtual rulers . Notwithstanding the spaciousness of the system they have carried to such a height in the course of the last half century , it is , in reality , the most terrible tyramy ever inflicted upon the manual producers of wealth . By the aid of the steam-engine , mechanical inventions , and chemical discoveries , the power of producing wealth has been increased , in a manner unparalleled at any former period of the history of the world , and political

      economists and statists point with exultation to the enormously augmented mass of exports and imports , as a proof of the success of their system , and the absolute dependence of the country upon commerce and manufactures . We admit , that in contemplating the colossal proportionsofthecommerci . nl system of this country , it is impossible to hel p feelings of admiration at its rapid progress and extensive influence ; but if the condition of the toiling millions is examined , we find no signs of commensurate progress there , and that is , after all , the only true criterion b y which to test the value of any system whatever . It is of little use , indeed , that a nation increases its powers

      to provide for the wants of its population , if it does not , at the same time , increase the power of the people at large , to procure and consume the additional wealth thus brought into existence ; and the sytem introduced , upheld , and likely to be extended by the middle classes , so far from having done this , or being likely to do this , has produced the very opposite results , and will continue to do so , as tar as the actual workers are concerned . The principles of national and individual competition , in conjunction with the present means of creating wealth , can only lead with the existing arrangements in all countries , to universal beggary and ruin . The very magnitude of the

      means , pui mo our hands for diffusing comfort , will under the insane direction of those who think that " the whole duty of man" is comprised in one sentence , ,: buy in the cheapest , sell in the dearest market , - ' produce the more speedil y general disorganisation and distress . The cry for extended markets , while our own population is suffering for the want of those very commodities whioh we complain of having a superabundance of , is sufficient to show the rotten and empirical character of the system under which the two incompatible cries of over-production and over-population" can

      Parliamentary Review. On Monday Night Th...

      ¦ ¦ - It istitne that the landlords and the labourers of England were looking : this subject fairly in the face , and asking themselves . seriously whither it is likely to lead ' us ? , 1 f , indeed , all that constitutes the heart and life ' s blood of a nation is to be destroyed , and the whole business and relations of society is to be resolved into the selfish pursuit of wealth , no matter at what expense to individuals and society ; let us know the fact distinctly . We shall then , at least , be prepared for the terrible consequences of the universal idolatry of the golden calf , which has seized the nation .

      But if , as we believe , there is yet intelligence , virtue , and ' patriotism enough remaining in the country to demand , and to enforce , just and equitable institutions , by means of which increased wealth may be made to minister to the increased enjoyment of every class in society , we would fain hope this warning note will urge that intelligence , virtue , and patriotism , to the rescue of our country from the soul-degrading and ruinous sway of mere Mammon worshippers , who view everything merely with reference to per centage , and whose whole p hilosophy is bounded by the walls of their counting houses .

If the true principles of industrial organisation and of distributive equity have not yet been discovered , or acted upon by the Legislature , those of Religious Equality have made consideiable progress . On looking back some twenty years , it is truly gratifying to see the strides we have made in this direction . The Statute Book was crammed with laws , based upon the narrowest and most sectarian dogmas . The rights of citizens were denied to large masses of people , not because there was any objection to them as citizens , not because they did not bear , the burdens or discharge tbe

      duties of citizens , but because their views , on certain abstract theological questions , did not happen to square with those of the framers of the said Statutes . In spite of the efforts—the determined and consistent efforts of the upholders of this system of religious domination and tyrannical exclusiveness , it has gradually been compelled to yield to the growing and enlightened convictions of the public mind upon the subject . One by one , the outposts have capitulated , and at length one may almost say the citadel has been carried * The speech of Lord J . Russell , oa introducing his Bill for the Removal of Jewish Disabilities ,

      tn account of creed , was an able and a forcible exposition of the great constitutional principles on which the measure was based ; asd which , by the way , we remind his lordship , apply to political as well as religious equality . In the debate which succeeded , the advocates of reli gious freedom had it triumphantly their own way , and , with the exception of one speaker , the boldest on tie Opposition side spoke more in obedience to sense ot duty , and of what was expected from them by their party , : than from any conviction , either that they should succeed , ' or deserved to do so . In

      this respect , the Protectionist camp was seen in utter confusion and discord . Lord George Bentinck and Mr Disraeli , the two great leaders of the . party , deserted their followers , and fought side by side with Peel and Gladstone , Russell and Morpeth . Nay , the Universities themselves divided on the subject . Oxford in the persons of good Sir R . Inglis , said "Nay , " and backed its negative with platitudes so old , so threadbare , that one cannot help pitying the worthy baronet for being compelled . " to march through Coventry with them . " In Mr Gladstone , the same University supplied a crushing , argumentative , and

      eloquent reply to these platitudes , delivered with an earnestness of manner , and , including so bold and comprehensive a view of constitutional and religious progress , as made , not only a strong impression at the moment , but is pregnant with impoitant bearing'on the future . When the young race of statesmen , of whom Gladstone may be taken as the type , give evidence as they have done , that they have applied themselves to master the philosophy of this , and other important constitutional questions , and come to such conclusions , there is a tolerable guarantee given , that whatever our future progress may

      be m other respects , we are not likely to go backwards in this . We shall not too curiously inquire how far the liberalism , either of the mover of the bill , or of many of its supporters , was influenced by the wealth , and the peculiar financial powers of Baron Rothschild , and the cognate fact , that the Jews , as a body , are wealthy . We-shall not ask whether , if the broad constitutional doctrines laid down by many of the speakers were applied , as they might legitimately be , by an advocate of political emancipation for the masses—the application would not be denied , because the parties to be

      emancipated were not rich or powerful , Nor shall we ask whether the propounded of broad princi ples , which would admit the Devil or the Atheist , as well as the Jew to sit in Parliament and fulfil all civil duties , are prepared to curry these principles out to their legitimate conclusions or not . We are content to take the facts astliey stand , in the meantime , and to rest in the belief that in the ever onward progress of society , the great principle will be universally acknowledged and acted upon ; that there is no merit in believing any set of doctrines ; no demerit in disbelief , and that consequently all temporal rewards or punishments for belief or disbelief are unjust . When a man can , by the exercise of his own will , believe or disbelieve as

      he pleases , it will then be time enough to visit him with punishment or proscription ; but so long as belief is compulsory , and dependent , not on the will , but on the . amount of evidence presented to the mind , it is evident that all legislation based upon the opposite principles must be erroneous . All error is prejudicial to society . In this case , it raises men to honours , emoluments , fame , and power , for no merit of their own ; and in the other , it deprives masses of the community of the inalienable ri ghts of humanity , for no fault of their own . Injustice and tyranny are stamped on the forehead of such a system ; and injustice and tyranny have their natural reliction in discontent , discord , and rebellion . We " cannot gather grapes from thistles . "

      In The Interval .Which Must Elapse Betwe...

      In the interval . which must elapse between the present peviod and the re-assembling of Parliament , the people should he prepared to make a vigorous and consistent demonstration of their views upon important questions . The boldest and most persevering reformer in the House , can do little unless he is backed up by the pressure from without , and in proportion to the wei ght and magnitude of the public opinion brought to bear upon any question , is the chance of its being quickly and efficiently disposed of , " A word to the wise is enough , "
