Winding Up The Land Company. Under The P...
WINDING UP THE LAND COMPANY . Under the pretence of advocating the interests of the members of the Land Company , some of Mr . O'Connor 's personal enemies and slanderers allege , that the Bill tor winding up the affairs of that Company is drawn up with the viewof givingnnfair advantages to that gentleman . As a proof that such is the case , it is stated that tbe bill baa uot been published , and that any complaints with reference to the management of the Company , or of the
estates , are habitually excluded from the columns of this paper . The falsehood of the last statement will be apparent to all our readers , who see that Mr . O'Connor never fails to insert , in full , every letter calling his conduct in question with reference to this Company . The gross absurdity and evident falsehood of many of these charges , combined with the coarse , abusive language in which they have been couched , would have formed a sufficient reason for their non-insertion , But Mr . O'Connor feels that he is armed so
strong in conscious rectitude , that he can meet all assailants on this ground . They damage themselves rather than him , by such conduct ; because impartial and well-informed persons cannot help contrasting their actions and language with that of . Mr . O'Cojwob , who has lost a thousand times more by the failure of the Company , both in time , money , and labour , than any single thousand of the seventy thousand subscribers to it .
With respect to the imputations founded on the non-publication of tho Winding-up Bill , we can only say , that they are still less substantial than the complaints or allegations of disappointed members . The Bill has simply not been published because no one could say how far it would he altered in Committee ; and until it had undergone that ordeal , and assumed a definite and final shape , it was considered unnecessary to print it , further than
required by the rules of the House , which re quire copies to be available to every member of the House . The idea of secrecy , when six hundred and fifty-eight copies may circulate among a body of men by no means favourable to Mr , O'Connor on political grounds—some of them personally hostile to him , and who would willingly avail themselves of any handle to injure his standing and influence—is simply ridiculous . If ever there was a bill that will
be sharply and closely watched—aud that by no friendly eyes—it will be the one in question ; and those who think that it can be passed without ample justice being done to all parties , aye very much mistaken . In fact , all such bills are framed upon certain general principles , and in consonance with the regulations affecting them in the Equity Court , to which they are ultimately referred . Any deviation from the usual course of procedure would he immediately noticed , and entail the certain rejection ofthe bill in which it occurred .
In order to deprive the calumniators of Mr . O'Connor of this last miserable excuse , however , we this week insert a part of the bill in question as now before the House . It is too long to give in full ; the remainder will be published next week . All who are interested in the matter , will find that the utmost care has been taken to promote an equitable and an amicable settlement of an exceedingly complicated and very unfortunate concern . Of the causes which have led to this deeply to bo regretted conclusion , it is unnecessary we should now speak . On various occasions we
have shown they mainly originated in the defective state of the law , —in the opposition of the Government to the legalisation of the Company—in the virulent oppposition of a lying and unscrupulous party -press—and , ultimately , to the wholesale desertion ofthe members themselves , and their refusal to fulfill theiv part of the contract aud supply the means of proceeding with the completion of the plan , as far as practicable . Mr . O'Connor may not have been exempt from error , in the course of such extensive , varied , and complicated transactions . It was a new and
untried path , and tho mistakes , inseparable from inexperience , were to be expected . But , the causes we have enumerated were enough to have defied the wisdom of Solomon , the patience of Job , and the strength of Samson , to overcome , endure , or sustain . Upon whose shoulders has fallen the heaviest loss , the greatest burden ? Clearl y u pon Mr , O'Connor . No man has so great and so deep an interest in the speedy , honourable , and final settlement ofthe whole affair . His
whole existence and character as a public man is hound up with it . Heretofore he has triumphantly vindicated his personal integrity , and he will do so to the close . ' Those who have invested money in the shares of the National Land Company may safely entrust their interests to : the practised experience of a Master in Chancery , and the watchful superintendence of a man who has so much at stake in the matter as tho hon . member for Nottingham . '
The only object of those who seek to stir up fresh dissensions on this subject , is to wound Mr . O'CONNOR through the medium of the Laud Company members . If any of them are silly enough to lend themselves as catspaws to those parties , it will be at their own cost and risk , and at that of all the shareholders . Whatever may be the dividend ultimately realised , it is certain not to be increased by protracted litigation or disputes , fomented for
the purpose of gratifying personal enmity and revenge . If ,, ou the contrary , the matter is amicably settled , and the estates brought into the market under proper auspices , they may be disposed of so advantageously as to cause but trifling loss , if any , to any individual , and , in the meantime , an improved law of partnership may open tho door for the creation of a now English yeomanry . We shall return to this subject when the whole bill is before our readers .

POLICY OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY . Tho result of a protracted and an obstinate contest is , that the principle of legislative resistance to Papal policy is affirmed b y Parliament .

of influence and dimen ; ion 8 ao disproportionate to its real numbers . If + C could su c ° ef in transfusing equal earnestae !* f f in ,. ° the party who profess to be advocate * . P " " tical and s ocial reforms , as exhibited . !^ tllO SO who have been eneeringly called the ** Members for Rome , " on the religious question , there would be some chance of speed y success . Ostensibly , there are somewhere about eighty
jjj ^ bers who auppoi't Mv . Heme ' s measure of K ^ presentative R eform ; one hundred member . ? voted for Mr . Locke King ' s motion for extending the suffrage to £ 10 . householders in counties ; only ninety-five members voted against the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles ' Assumption Bill , and that number was made up of amoflt incongruous mixture of parties , who would probubly differ from each other upon almost every other possible question that might he submitted to
them . . If the so-called " Liberal party" in Parliament were deeply impressed with the importance and the urgent necessity of a fundamental and organic reform of our represi ntative system , they would see in the present peculiar position of parties , a fitting time for forcing the question upon the attention of the Government and the Legislature . Although Parliament , by a large and triumphant majority , has affirmed the supremacy of Protestant institutions as opposed to any implied or actual assumptions on the part of the
Romish See , yet the question is far from being decided . In tho majority there were not , perhaps , a score of members who approved of the specific measure , for the second reading of which they voted . Its legal operation—if passed in its present shape—is so vague and indeterminate , that of the eminent lawyers who spoke on the subject , not one gave the same interpretation . By far the largest number of its supporters accepted it merely as a protest , with the expressed determination of making it more stringent in committee . The difficulty of doing that without
introducing new questions , and , consequently , leading to new Parliamentary combinations , will be very great . The Irish Members—who are determined to fight every inch of tho way —will have a thousand opportunities of obstructing the progress of the measure , in accordance with Parliamentary forms , and it is quite possible that , by means of the delays they may cause , in conjunction with the other untoward questions that hang over a feeble and ill-compacted Ministry , that we may yet have a dissolution before any anti-Papal measure is carried .
Indeed , if the Taxes for the year were once voted , it is clear that there would be no cause whatever for the Stanley party to forbear any longer from upsetting the present Cabinet , which exists merely by sufferance . The Times sees this very plainly , and it sees as plainly , that if a dissolution were to take place immediately , with the present suffrage , and the present temper of the electoral body who are dependent upon agricultural pursuits , the Protectionists would , in all probability , secure a working majority in Parliament . The Times has , therefore , become an advocate of the
Extension ofthe Suffrage ! On various occasions , lately , it has pressed—with great apparent fervour , and with its . usual force of expression—tbe urgent necessity and vital importance of the immediate production of the measure Lord John Russell says he has prepared . We should not be at all surprised to find , that this advice has been prompted from Downing-street , and that , at the last moment , Lord John may bring out his bill , as a " cry '' for a General Election , and a capital dodge for imparting an appearance of popularit y to his Administration .
Should any such trick be attempted , the Parliamentary Reformers in the House of Commons would be bound to see that Lord John ' s propositions were of a bona fide character . His last measure of this kiud has turned out as we predicted it would—" a mockery , a delusion , and a snare , " Under tbe operation of his own Reform Act , the constituency of Ireland " had grown email by degrees , and beautifully less , " until it had become the merest shadow of a shade . Even Lord John and the Irish landlords were
ashamed of such a palpable mockery Of repfC ' sentation . For years Ireland had been pro mised an extension of the Suffrage , and at length the Premier " screwed up his courage to the sticking place , " and brought in a Bill . As at first drawn it would have given some power to the people , however small ; and it passed in that shape through the Lower House . But before a motion was made in the Peers by the opposition , the Marquis of Lanshowne intimated that Government were prepared to submit to a higher ratiug , and , of course , a more limited Suffrage ; and thus abandoned
the principle which had been contended for by his colleagues , and carried in the representative House . We say nothing here of the oligarchical tyranny implied by the interference of the hereditary branch of the Legislature , and its reversal of the decision of a house elected by , and amenable to , the people , iu theory at least . The practical result is what we have to deal with at present . It is , that by the mutilation of their own originally small Franchise Bill for Ireland , the Ministry have wilfully , and knowingly , given the landlords of Ireland more power than they previously
possessed . Under the pretence of enfranchising the people of Ireland , they have rivetted more securely the chains of their political slavery . The Dungarvan election has resulted in the return of a Whig in opposition to a thoroughly popular Candidate , entirely in consequence of tho operation of the new law . But for it , Mr . Maguike would have triumphed over all the other unholy influences combined against him , including landlordism and priestism , bribery and coercion , subserviency and corruption . In hia address to the electors , at the close of the contest , Mr . Maguike said •—
If the election hapwened a fortnight ago , I would have won it , for I polled sufficient to carry it . But since then one hundred rural voters have been added to the list , am ! thanks to the base trick of the Whurs , who detained the writ , those rural electors were enabled to swamp the honesty and integrity ofthe town . Now , in contributing to the production of such a result , and in systematically neutralising the political influence of the intelligent and comparatively independent portion of the productive classes , Lord John Russell is only consistently carrying out his avowed principles . In the very speech in which he announced that he had prepared the heads of a new Franchise Bill for Great Britain , he
stated that it was framed for the express purpose of maintaining tho existing predominance of certain classes of the community ; and , consequently , wo can expect no other than onesided and deceptive measures from htm on this question . Auger , vituperation , and abuse in such a case as this is worse than useless . Lord John is the onl y possible Minister permitted by the present state of public opinion and ic
publparties . It is admitted by everybo dy that a more incompetent and useless set oi men , never disgraced the Treasury benches ; but their being there , or remaining there , is entirely the fault of the people themselves . It is only by a change of public opinion , bv such a reconstruction of parties , as will enable the friends of organic and progressive reform to hold the balance of power in their hands , that wo can expect either to oust them , or to put better men in their places .
If the Premier should , however , attempt the production of any fallacious measure this Session , it will become the duty of tho Parliaraentary Reform party , in and out of doors , to expose its true character , and to take every step consistent with the forms of the House which may enable them either to make it a real improvement as far as it may go , or to reieoft it entirel y * satherthan suffer the Minis-

a mM « , » -,. _ ^ . u u ,, m - a measure , the advocates of which acted so contrary to the first principles of constitutional and social freedom . The position which the Chartists should occupy towards other parties should we think , form one question for the Convention , in order that it may be authoritatively settled . We trunk it will be settled iu such { way as to prevent the reproach of either ill manners or political bigotry against the Charbats as a body . ^ There are more flies cauglit bv honey than vinegar in the world ; and Sir JOSHITA Waimsley is not the only person who can admire "the zeal and devotion of Chartists . ' He has already ( he says ) "taken leaves out of their book f uB uub uieir

We have repeatedly endeavoured to show that there is no reason , in principle , why he should stop short of the People s Charter ; and we believe he and his colleagues are discovering for themselves what we have as repeatedly assured them ofnamely , that there is no reason whatever in expediency for the course they are pursuing . If , however , the National Reform
Association does not see this at present , let it pursue its own course , and the Chartists theirs . There can be no essential antagonism between two such parties . By mutual respect and mutual conciliation , but without compromise of their own peculiar opinions , they may exercise an immediate and powerful in & ueneo —not only iu Parliament , but in tho important questions which will have to he decided out of doors , at the latest , this autumn . If they act wisely , 1852 may see tho formation of a powerful People ' s Party .

MERCANTILE MOItALlTY . -WHOLE . SALE ADULTERATION . Every age has its peculiar vices and its special crimes generated by the predominating institutions and arrangements for the time being . When the traveller sought his destination on horseback , with his treasure locked up iu his saddle-bags , or stowed away in his capacious pocket , "the gentlemen of
the road ' were the natural and necessary complement of that mode of locomotion . A highwayman attempting to stop an express train , as it dashed across Houuslow Heath , and crying to its passengers " stand and deliver" would be simpl y ridiculous . With changed circumstances those who pick up a living by preying | upon their felloiv men , have to adopt changed tactics . Dishonesty and knavery remain the same , buS its mode of action is different .
We are accustomed to boast pretty loudly of the improved and improving raorality of the age , and the higher sense of honour which regulates ordinary business transactions between man and man . The middle classes are especially , with certain writers , held up as the great mainstay ofthe community , and as patterns of domestic and social virtue . By tbe same writers the principle of unregulated competition is lauded as tbe only stimulant to en terpriae , the only spur to individual exertion , .
and the only incentive b y which men and communities can be induced to pursue a career of progressive improvement . Free Trade is the true path to National Greatness and Glory . AU this sounds very * well and looks very fine , but it will , we fear , by no means bear close inspection . It is something like a regiment of soldiers—say the guards—on parade , —the gay uniforms and golden trappiflga , the colours and tho ^ music , laalte up a very imposing coup d ' oeil , but when you come to take the elements to pieces of which the
display is composed , it turns out sbabbilv enough . You find that the army tailor and lacemakcr , and musical instrument maker , in conjunction with the drill master , have produced the result out of rery worthless materials . It is the combination that has done it all . The items of which the aggregate Hues before the spectators are composed are mere John Smith ' s and Dick Thomas ' s , who , previous to enlistment , were not heroes in any way ; the reverse of heroes in too many cases , and driven to soldiering as the last step ot a hfe of foll y , dissipation , or crime .
So it is , we fear , with the specious respectabilities turned out by Free Trade and free competition .
