The Lords Are Revenging Themselves For B...
The Lords are revenging themselves for being obliged to pass the "Navigation Bill by throwing out almost every other important measure sent up to them by the Commons In a very cool and summary manner they have -dispatched four measures on "whicn . the Lower House lias spent the greater part ofthe session . Two of these had reference to
agricultural matters ; namely , Mr . Pdsey ' s Landlord and Tenants' BUL -which aimed at placing these parties in more equitable relation with each other , and the Eating upon Rack-rents , ivhich-was designed to remedy ssme injustice in that respect Two others were intended to remove civil disabilities on account of peculiar Religious opinions . One Bill proposed to substitute Affirmation for Oaths in aU cases -where
persons conscientiously objected to tale an oath . The other to amend , the form of the Oaths taken by Members of Parliament , and especially to alter them in such a way as to admit Jews into the Legislature . Both of these the Peers rejected , the last for the second time . Itappears , however , as if they would be obliged to swallow the nauseous dose at last , for Baron Eothsciold , by resigning and presenting himself afresh to the citizens of London as a candidate , has appealed from the Peers to the people upon a great
constitutional question . "We cannot doubt as to the nature of the response to that appeal . Putting aside the question as to the religious liberty involved in the struggle , there is a very important constitutional privilege at issue , which it concerns the people not to y ield to the here--ditary and irresponsible branch of the Legislature . It is not to be tolerated that the Peers shall virtually dictate to the electors who they shall send to Parliament to represent them , and yet this is precisely what they are doing . The electors of the City of London returned
HOTHSCHlLD-to the House of Commons ; that House has twice , by large majorities and after fall deliberation , declared its readiness to admit him , and all who entertain similar religious opinions , who may be elected by the constituent body . But the Lords step in and say this shall not be . TVe put our veto upon the exercise ofthe rights ofthe electoral body , and also of the other branch ofthe Legislature . ' We set you both at defiance , and , as far as our power extends , wiUmaintain every shred of intolerance to be found in our institutions . In
like manner , they interpose to prevent the passing of a measure which is obviously just , and the removal of an evil which shocks the moral sense of the community at large . ^ A person who has a conscience sufficiently flexible and expansive to swalkrw oaths by the dozen , even where he means to utter falsehoods , is admitted as evidence in cases ofthe utmost importance : but those who entertain religious and conscientious scruples against taking these oaths are , simply because they are conscientious persons , deprived ofthe power of giving evidence , and may be imprisoned for refusing to violate their honest convictions . No
possible defence , either in justice or expediency , can be set up for such a glaring abuse as this . It is at once a personal hardship to the nidi-Tiduals placed in suchaposition , and a grievous evil to the community , because in cases where the evidence of such persons is necessary to the due enforcement ofthe law and the administration of iustice ,-their exclusion prevents both . Their Lordships , in thus rejecting every liberal and progressive -measure , which they think they can do with safety , by showing their power of resistance only when they believe the parties to be benefitted are umnnaential or few in numbers , and by
succumbing , even upon questions to which they ^ entertain the strongest and most deep-rootea : opposition , are fast producing a conviction on the public mind anything but flattering to them , or calculated to * maintain the continued existence and power of their separate chamber of egjalation .

allottee , complains of the distance from a jaarket , a consideration in future purchases worthv sL ^ enter ^ ained -- tMnbs if the potato croJ eShif ^^ diseasedit will place them 5 enviaWo condition as compared with the past . Mr Bentley , a four-acre allottee , is desirous tosell -he has fine ^ crops , of wheat , clover , potatoes and ilioVlrWr ^^ ^ ^* * ow wants * WU with the crops ; has a cow and calf remark-Co ^ f V pdlie ^ l paid » U deSnds Khe on the estate .

We nest vfsited of the p ^ mJ four-acte allotment in the centre oirne . estate ; the crops bear a most luxuriant and g n-c allots , ~ Z 7 . i- . .- -
promising appearance , and , to use Ms own words , ne is now confident that he will do well . The most cneermg part of his position is , that he worked Harder last year than this , with less probability of r emuneration ; and here I may remark , that I feel confident that many who have prematurely left their allotments will , ere long , regret their hasty retreat . JUy observation was nest directed to the land occupied by the brothers Shuter , who hold , by the right of purchase , one three acres , and the other two . Here I observed a mode of potato culture I never before saw ; the potatoes are put in whole , at wide distances from each other ; when up there are several reeds of haulm which are spread out in a circular directionand the soil laced in the centre
, p , which makes a mound similar to a mole-heap , but much larger , under which the potatoes grow ; they have nine p igs of various sizes , excellent piggeries , and he has nearly finished a barn , a most desirable acquisition . He thinks the Land Plan capable of yielding the cream of human existence—liberty . Immediately by is a four-acre allotment , lately occupied by Renham , ' now vacant , with good crops of wheat and potatoes , but nearly choked -with weeds . Here the hand of the Directory should es tend Us fostering care . Mr . Honeychurch has fine crops , and was busy turnip sowing ; he had two ineu digging , and one assisting to drill . My deduction was , that many allottees having more land than they can managewithout they have one or
, two strong hoys , who are good as money , will be more likely to faU than those with less acres . The next visited was an ori ginal allottee , named How ; Ms land is in first-rate condition .- In my presence he seld a dealer one-twelfth part of an acre of potatoes , ready for market , for £ 4 ; thus the first crop produces at the rate of £ 48 per acre , with this additional provision , that the land should be left in a fit state to receive the next crop ,, which , of Swede turnips , is capable to produce two and half tons as farmers grow them . Mr . Pratt , possessor by purchase , has excellent crops .. Gray , an original allottee , has also good crops . Dcnward , who purchased , has also good crops . 3 » ext is a four-acre allotment , originally occupied by Petit , in an
excellent situation , immediately behind the schoolhouse , and unoccupied for twelve months . Thus on this estate there are ten acres quite barren and unproductive , and four acres , though cropped , ' choked with weeds ; consequently on this estate of 160 acres , as ori ginally purchased , there are fourteen acres in a state of sterility . This must not be allowed to continue . Is there any necessity for this state of tilings ? I answer , no ; as there are many members in my district willing to undertake the responsibility ofthe before-mentioned . unoccupied estates . Gilder , from Bradford , occupying three acres has good crops , with the exception of a small land of peas , which appeared not likely to produce much . This allottee had a great loss a short time
ago by the death of his son , upon . whom he much relied . Sir , Porter , a Worcester man , and recently made parish constable , showed us over his estate . He has been mott industrious , and says , some pig stock to make manure would cause it to justify his every expectation . Mr . Linney is a first-rate boothand , and relies as much upon his trade as the land , he has as much work from the neighbouring aristocracy as he can perform . Our next visit was to the school-house ; a great contrast was observable , Mi * . O'Brien being busy on the land , but I should have been more pleased could I have seen him mouldm » the mind of animate clay to the future objects or the Land and the Charter . But , alas S there are
few , if any , scholars . In company with Mr . O'Brien we then proceeded to Snig ' s End and Moat Farms . Here I cannot particularise ; suffice it to say , that it presents an appearance which those who saw it twelve months ago can scarcely be prepared to anticipate . There is one allotment on Snig's End not occupied . Being much gratified with what we had seen in this Caluornian region , we returned to the Lowbands , and . wended our way homeward , much pleased with the estates , with the exceptions mentioned . Hoping I shall not be considered to have drawn any offensive invidious distinction , I beg your acceptance of the earnest regards of your devoted brother member , James Harding , Sub-Secretarv , Worcester

LETTERS TO THE WORKING CLASSES . L . "Words are things , and a small drop of ink Falling—like dew—upon a thought , produces Ihat which makes thousands , perhaps millionSj think . " KW » f .
THE CHARTER . Brother Proletarians , 'On Tuesday next , the 3 rd of Jul y , the hon . member for Nottingham will bring before the House of Commons the great question of Parliamentary Reform , iu the shape of a series pf declarations , affirming—severally and conjointly—the principles of the Charter .
The terms of Mr . O'Connor's motion show that he purposes to base his demand for Justice to the unenfranchised class not on the paltry ground of financial misgovemment and the necessity of Financial Reform , but on the broad foundation of the following great prill 1 cip les : — . ' ¦ " That Labour is the source of all wealth ; '' " That the People are the only legitimate source of power . "
" That the labourer should be the first parta & er ofthe fruits of his own industry . " "That taxation without representation is tyranny , and should be resisted . " It would be superfluous to show ( to you , that which you are already well-informed of : ) the justice and incontrovertible truth ofthe abovfe propositions ; suffice it to say they embrace the , entire groundwork of political and social rightl Those propositions may he cavilled at , sneered at , disputed , hut by fair arguments they cannot he opposed ; and if met by unfair arguments : the " no House" dodge ; or the flippant and arrogant opposition of the Pre * mier ; they will , nevertheless , remain unshaken ; eternal as Truth itself , of which they are the legitimate offspring .
Mr . O'Connor ' s motion will also possess the ^ advantage over previous propositionssubmitted to Parliament on the same subject , of setting forth a scheme of Parliamentary Reform at once simple , just , and all-comprehensive . The member for Nottingham and his supporters ( if he finds any ) will not present the spectacle , so cheering to an opponent , of differing with each other as to the meaning and intent of the scheme of reform they severally profess to support . Lord John will have to oppose a principle , not so easy a . task as professing his critical inability to understand whether a "householder" means a person holding a
house , or one whom a house holds . ' In demanding " ManhoodSuffrage" ( I submit to Mr . O' Connor the propriety of throwing overboard the ill-chosen , and now obsolete term " Universal , " as applied to the enfranchisement ofthe adult male population ) , the member for Nottingham will cut the ground from under the quibblers , who must either remain silent , or otherwise open their mouths to undertake the dishorcurable task of proving wrong right , and usurpation a virtue . Again , Mi \ O'Connor , by demanding tlie
full and complete powers of citizenship for every man , will escape those damaging charges of inconsistency levelled by Whigs and Tories at the moderate Reformers . These latter have been often , and truly , told that their arguments and their projects most signally disagreed ; that whilst their speeches denounced class-legislation , their schemes proposed to continue that evil in a modified form . Moreover , they have been truly told that their schemes , if adopted , would be still regarded by those who remained unenfranchised as no more a settlement of
the question , than the Moderates themselves consider the "Reform Bill" a " settlement . " The same cannot he said of Mr . O'Connor ' s propositions . The plan of reform which they represent would emancipate all , and leave no excluded , branded , pariah class , justly discontented , and ; therefore , armed with the best authority to agitate for a new measure of reform to put an endto their political degradation . In whatever light the member for Nottingham ' s propositions are contrasted with Air . Hume ' s recent resolutions , nil candid persons , whether friends or foes , must be constrained to admit the superior ; simplicity , comprehensiveness , and legislative wisdom enjoyed by the former over the latter . Should Mr . 0 Connor fail , it will not be through any flaw in the terms of his motion .
But , my friends , it is too well known to you that a man may have the best of causes , and may submit his views in the most laudable shape , and yet have but small chance of success in the llouso of Commons . Though he possessed the wisdom of all the seven sages of Greece , and though lie had as just a cause as ever the martyr died on the scaffold , or at the stake to defend ; still he would he powerless , and his eflbrts would be fruitless , wanting the almighty support of the " pressure from without . " If next Tuesday evening Mr . O'Connor rises to speak for you , without adequate sustainment on your part , he will speak in vain . He will be asked " "Where arc vour proofs that you represent the
wishes of the people V What shall he answer n you fail to furnish some striking manifestation of your support ? ... > " So one can be more sick of petitioning than I am ; nevertheless , I give my advice that you unanimously , and zealously ,:, ' and immediately respond to Mr . O'Cokxor ' s demand for petitions . Either . the member for Nottingham should bo strongly sustained by the unrepresented classes , or he should have been advised by those classes not to attempt alabour they were not inclined to assist in . I believe Mr . O'Connor has not been so advised ; I believe , on the contrary , that he was advised some months ago , by those who spoke in the name of the people , to make the Charter a parliamentary
question . Acting on that advice the member lor Jsottingham gave notice of his motion for the 5 th . of this month ; but subsequently , at the request of the Manchester Chartists , he postponed his motion to the 3 rd of July , togivemore time to the friends of Chartist reform to hold public meetings and forward the adoption of petitions in favour of the said motion . Under these circumstances it appears to me to be a matter of honour , as well as of duty , that good faith should be kept with Mr . O'Cpsson , and that he should hare that public support he has a right to expect . If you withhold that support , you will place the representative of your principles in a humiliating position , and give a triumph to those who oppress you , and who hate every man who has
the moral courage and honesty to vindicate your rights and expose their evil doings . Many friends have written to me , stating that tlie people are so disgusted with the House of Commons that no argument will avail to induce them to petition that body again . I , too , am disgusted . I am siek and weary of mere petitioning , lecturing , and resolution passing . Without hintingat , or meaning violence ; and without absolutely repudiating petitioning , lecturing , & c , for the future ; I , neverthelesss , savthat—when Mr . O'Connor ^ motion is disposed of ( we may anticipate how it will be disposed ity-it will be necessary to commence a more vigor-: ous course of action than the last twelve months have witnessed , if we mean to ever win the Charter .
Even now— -before Mr . O ' Connor ' s motion , I would gladly set my face against petitioning , provided could advise any other course better calculated to add force to the attempt which will be made on vour behalf on Tuesday next . Bnt I do not see the materials for any more effective manifestation of popular opinion . The question between pctitioninff and any other mode of action is not before US . We must petition or do nothing . Granted , that petitions will not furnish the member for Nottingham with the best support ; still , wanting petitions , he will have no support at all . Should he ( wanting petitions ) be tola that he speaks but for himself , or for a mere sect , to him will be the annoyance , > but to . ybu will be the injury . - < j = ¦ ¦¦ who
For these reasons I say ,, both to those are too apathetic , and those who are too ardent to willingly petition—nevertheless , do so . It is the only mode offproccdure open to you . at this moment . The future ( I mean the immediate future ) will demand a more energetic course of action ; but m the meantime petition . If you are wise men , and earnest men , vou will make of Sunday , the 1 st of duly , a day for the assertion of Labour's rights and sove-Thun ' derinthe ears of your rulers your demand for the PEOPLE ' S CHARTER . . : ¦ - ..: ; _ , I will not , on this occasion , say one word to you concerning your political and social wrongs by way of stimulating you to action . , ¦ . - - .. ¦ . •!« Let willing slaves in galling fetters lie . "
If all that you have heard and read , and , still more , felt and experienced , has failed to satisfy vou of the abundant necessity for a change , all that T could at this moment write would be of no avail ; li-iv I doubt" if you would be persuaded though even one rose from the dead .

own wrongs , therefore , I will now say nothing , but let me say a few words on the wrongs of others . At this moment the Italian and German Democrats are engaged in a death struggle with their enemies ; the result of which , it is to be feared , will be the -destruction of the defenders of Freedom , and the triumph of Freedom ' s assassins . Another nation—glorious Hungary—is about also to engage in the same kind of struggle ; certainly with better chances of victory ; although the combat will be on a vast scale and the odds against our brothers are frightful . In this state of things the English Government stands with folded arms , and allows the leagued brigands to transform' the half of Europe into a hell . of horrors indescribable , without making the slightest effort , by deed or by word , to
arrest the march of the assassins , and prevent the butchery ofthe peoples . Indeed , there is too good reason for suspecting that though not- openly marching with the tyrants of the Continent , our Government is secretly intriguing on their side , and against the patriots . The present Government exists because it is the representative of the usurping classes of the State—landlords and money-lords . The sentiments of those classesmay be gathered from the tone of the " respectable" journals , and the transactions in the moneymarket . The masked assassins who write in our " influential" journals proclaim , day after day , their murderous aspirations for tho destruction bf
the continental Democrats and the triumph of theii gore-reeking oppressors . Whenever news arrives of a victory gained by the enemies of the people , the funds rise ; but if news is brought that the Romans have repulsed the French , or the Hungarians beaten the Russians and Austrians , forthwith the funds fall . The moment it was known that the Red Republicans were put down in Paris there was a burst of joy amongst our stock-jobbers , and an expression of . their hopes that the triumphant betrayers of the French Kepublic would forthwith cut off the leaders of tlie French democracy ! The real , though . veiled , couijse of a Government , the creature of such men , may bo readily and correctly surmised .
. But ; though Lord Palmekston and his colleagues were ^ absolutely neutra l in the present European struggle as they-profess to be , that neutrality would itself be a crime . Never forgot that there is but one ruh } of duty for nations as for individuals . In both cases it is a sacred , an indispensible duty , to . take the side of the ¦ oppressed against the oppressor . Away with tho unmanly cant of , "Peace at any price . " Away with the humbug of , "Non-intervention , " and "Non-connexion with foreign struggles . " Peace is not the greatest good . There are worse evils than war . There are worse crimes than those which are punishable in our courts of law ; and one of the greatest of crimes is that of seeing a people condemned to massacre and slavery , without stirring a hand to prevent the triumph of
the murderers and enslavers . Next to the eternallyinfamous crime committed by France , of dooming her sister Republic to assassination , the crime of England is only secondary—tho crime of permitting that enormous assassination , It was the duty ofthe British Government to have prevented the attack upon Rome , at any cost . Even now , had that Government a sense of duty , it would launch the physical might of England to the rescue of the Eternal City . ^' You cannot feol surprise at the conduct of the British Government ; but I think you will share my disgust at the conduct of the " Friends of Freedom" in the House of Commons ( God save poor Freedom from such friends !) , in consequence ofthe almost utter indifference they have manifested to
the fate of the glorious Romans . 'What matters the paltry questions one or two of them have put twice or thrice to Lord Paimerston ? It is true , that on Fridas night last Mr . Roebuck made a pretty good speech , but the speech was all . Why did he not ( before Friday night last ) propose active and immediate intervention to save the Romans ? Had he done so , he would have had the support of popular opinion ; for though pretty far emasculated , the English people are not yet completely demoralised by profitmongering and humbug ; they have yet some sense of honour and justice ; and are not yet absolutely indifferent to the claims of Humanity . It may be said the Ministry would have
opposed , and the majority of the Commons would not have supported Mr . Roebuck . Very probably ; still the Member for Sheffield might have vindicated the national character by testifying to Europe that the people—the misrepresented and unrepresented people—of this country do sympathise with the heroic defenders of Rome , and do disavow the inactive , if not positively treacherous , conduct ofthe British Government . But your sympathies and sentiments are not represented in the House of . Commons , nor will they ' ever' be until that House is radically reformed . Your duty to Humanity demands that you siezenpon every opportunity to enforce your claim to the rights set lorth in the Chakier . L'AMI DV PEUPLE . June 28 th . 1849 .

THE PROSCRIBED DEMOCRATS OF FRANCE . TQ THE EDITOR OF THE NORTUEItN STAK . Sir , —Wc have just sent the enclosed note to the journals of France , and not knowing whether our thoughts can be published in our country , from the brutal and shameful suspension of the gre & t number of the journals hitherto accustomed to receive onr communications , wc request of you the hospitality of your columns . Please to receive sir , the assurance of our homage . In the name of the Association of the Proscribed Democrats of France . Louis Blaxc . " While . Paris is in a state of siege , and when most of the journals which represent our opinions are , by violence , condemned to silence , we believe it to be a duty owing ^ to our party to convey , to it , if possible , the public expression of our sentiments . , i -
" It is with profound astonishment that we see the organs of the . counter revolution triumph over the events'of the 13 th of June . Where there lias been no contest , how can there have been a victory ? What is then proved by the 13 th of June ? That under the pressure of a hundred thousand soldiers , Paris' is not free in her movements ? We have known thismore than enough . That the people at this day > is sufficiently sure of the future , and sufficiently master of itself to calculate its actions—to economise human life , and to deliver itself in full confidence to the power of truth , which battles in its cause . This alone should confound—should strike with stupor , the enemies of progress . That in France there will always be men ready to
sacrifice , for the sake of that which they heheve to be the cause of ri ght , their position , their fortune , their liberty , their life . But in this , there is nothing , it seems to us , which should give to egotists the right of rejoicing . " The 13 th of June changes nothing , absolutely nothing , with regard to the questions which the day before had submitted to tho public conscience . " Is it true—yes or no—that the fifth article of tho Constitution is thus laid down ? ' The French Republic respects foreign nationalities , as it understands how to make its own respected . It undertakes no wars with views of conquest , and never employs its forces against the liberties of any people . ' " The 13 th of June does not prevent the existence of this article in the Constitution .
" Is it true—yes or no—that this article has been violated in sendin ? an army into Italy , and in attacking there the Roman republic without pretext ? The 13 th of June does not alter the fact , that there s in this both a flairrant violation of the constitution - and - a savage outrage against the rights of nations . ¦ ' - ' ¦ . , " -Is it true—yes or no—that the power of majorities tiannot . procee'd so far as ' to change the conditions of evidence ? The 13 th of June does not prove { ihat there is less force in evidence than there is in a vote .-: ;' ''' ' ¦ ' ¦ ' " ¦ Now ' , as it has always been , the question is if by crowding Paris with soldiers and with cannon , by Stifling With violent-hands the liberty of the prass , by suppressing individual freedom , by invading -private domiciles , by substituting the reign
of terror for that of reason , by unceasingly repressing furious despair , that which there is wanting a capacity to prevent , the end will be attained of reanimating confidence , of re-establishing credit , of diminishing taxes , of correcting the vices of the administration , of chasing away the spectre of tho deficit , of developing industry , of cutting short the disasters attendant upon unlimited competition , of suppressing those deaf revolts , which have their source in the deep . recesses of human feelings , of tranquillising . resentments ; of calming all hearts . The state of siege ' of " 1848 has engendered that of 1849 ; the question is , if the amiable perspective of Paris , in a state ef siege every eight or ten months , will restore to Commerce its elastic movements ^ to the industrious-their markets , and to the middle classes their repose . " ;
" For us , in presence of these insane convulsions of a power , preyed upon by the delirium of its own impotence , we believe more intensely than ever in the sovereign efficacy of our doctrines , and of their approaching fulfilment . " That some of us should havefallen for having fought without being assured of followers , this is , undoubtedly ' , a great misfortune ; but if the sadness with which it penetrates us were a discouragement , we should be little worthy to be the servants of truth ; Never has the destiny of a noble cause been dependent upon the fate of one or other : of its defenders . ; To those who are borne away by the storm others succeed , and every just idea * the hour of which is arrived , creates for its triumph tho men of-whom it has need . The excesses committed after the month of June , " 1848 , produced the Socialist election ' s of 1849 . This is the fact to which we recall the attention ot our friends , as well as of our enemies .

THE BOMBARDMENT OF WM . TO THE EPITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Siit , —Will you albw the insertion in your columns of the enclosed copy of a petition . The original I have forwarded to Colonel Thompson , for the llouso of " Commons "—hot , certainly , with any hope of influencing that corrupt assembly , but none the less as a protest against our foreign policy of " non-intervention , " which is nothing more than a plea for never helping the right . If French bayonets had gone to help the Romans , by an attack upon Austria , or upon King Bombshell , Lord Lansdowne would not have said that " We have nothing to do with it ; " The conspiracy against freedom will soon be notorious enough . One never doubted the underhand complicity ofthe Whigs : but we hoped betfer things , wore it only / Vom the experience of even the present shop-keeping ascendancy in Prance . The price to Louis JN apoleon is to be th & Imperial
Crown , to which the shopkeepers will not objectfor tke present . What price may make worth while the infamy of those who follow him in this worst of outrages upon heroic Rome—what gilding shall hide the loathsomeness ofthe Cossack ' s accomplices , the statesmen , generals , soldiers , and people of France , who submit to be the tools of the Czar , one is at a loss to know . One thing , at least is certain—that history chroniclesno fouler outrage than this most scoundrelly assault upon the Roman Republic , and that it is the duty of every honest man—the world through—to protest against it , oven though he be not wise enough to see its direct bearing upon Iiis owni interests . Be sure they do not tighten the Italian chain without straining ours at home . . -. I am , Sir , your obedient servant , Miteside , Cumberland , W . J . Lkiiox . June 19 th , 1849 .
TO THE HONOUIUHLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT KUTA . IN AND MELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED . The Petition of the Undersigned , - Sheweth , That your petitioner , an Englishman , though unrepresented ( beinfr disqualified by change ol residence ) is not regardless of the honour of his country . That your petitioner has heard with indignation and dismay , the assertion of tlie French government , that in their conduct towards the Roman Republic they have been in accord with England , meaning by England ( your petitioner supposes ) "Her Majesty ' s Office for Foreign Affairs . " That such assertion accuses th * Foreign Administration
of tins country of being an accomplice in a course of policy ( that pursued by France towards Home ) whose villany is scarcely paralleled in history . That your petitioner cannot help calling to mind the foul practices of 1814 , when , the Foreign Office being in accordance with Austria , English Ministers were employed as informers and tools of the Austrian police to track the steps Of the brothers llnndeira , and therefore your petitionerfears that such assertion of English complicity with France may be but too generally credited in Europe , more especially as ihe policy of OUI' Foi'Oiyn Office bears Oil it no character of consistency , no impress of any guiding principle sufficient of itself to contradict the likelihood of such complicity .
That the eftect of a belief through Europe that the English government have connived at French vilhmy towards Home , must be to brand England with dishonour , to damage her reputation and destroy her influence , to damp the hopes of the Liberal party throughout Europe , and to encourage , and So assist the despotic powers in their endeavours to trample upon right , to prevent the growth and progress of humanity . That such a belief in English complicity would have the further tendency—by accustoming the minds of Englishmen to suffer dishonour abroad—to lower the standard of honour at home , so demoralising the people , and paving an easy descent to the utter degradation and ruin of the . British empire . That though the assertion of English complicity with the guilt of France may be false , yet it has gone forth , and needs to be absolutely contradicted , not merely by the formal denial of the particular fact , but by open
manifcstiltion of such principles of j'Ohcy as shall assure Europe that England cannot , now or evermore , either aid , ubet ^ or permit so gross an outrage upon justice—upon the rights and liberties of nations . Yourpetitioncr , therefore , prays your "honourable" House that , in order so far as possible , to prevent any future doubt or mistake as to the rectitude of England , your "honourable" House will forthwith assume the control ofthe Foreign Office , and that , irrespective of precedents , you will assert , and cause everywhere to be asserted , such a course of foreign policy as ' shall be consistent with tlie lu ' gh mission of England—witli her duly to humanity , and iu accordance with those principles of freedom and progress which , until the late Act of Lord John Russell "to suppress felonious speaking , " were ever . upon the lips of English patriots , and the most time-serving of diplomatists and statesmen . And your petitioner , so far as in duty bound , will ever pray .

SYMPATHY FOR THE ROMAN REPUBLIC AKS . -A WORTHY EXAMPLE . TO THE EDITOn OF -SUE NORTHERN STAR . gin , —It probably may be unnecessary for me to wish , to ta 6 c up a small space in your paper in stating the amount collected among the West-end Men ' s Men Boot and Shoemakers' Society of London , on behalf of the Romans , to assist them in their present struggle foi the thorough independence of their famous and beautiful country . Mr . Holyoake , on the occasion of the late public meeting held at the Institution iii John-street , mentions the fact of a certain sum having been handed
over to the proper receiving parties , and that , too , in a way highly complimentary to the trade in question . However , as one of the two individuals on whom the pleasing duty devolved of paying over the amount collected ( £ 5 3 s . Id . ) , perhaps you will allow me the opportunity , both for the satisfaction of the subscribers , and as an example to other trades or bodies of the industrious classes , to see tho sum so paid acknowledged in the Star—a journal which is so extensively circulated amongst working men , and , indeed , the chiet advocate of their rights . Yours truly , June 21 st , 1819 . Joun M'Yeigii .

——¦—a ^ n LOWBAKDS . The occupants at this place , have for some time past , been exerting themselves to send the produce of their little farms to the Birmingham market , and have almost completed the arrangements for that purpose . The want of a good market has been sorely felt by the people here since , their location , but it is hoped that in future this will be remedied , as the cost of carriage will not be so much as we have formerly paid to send our things te Ledbury , a distance of only six miles . After the business connected with the above
subject had been disposed of by the occupants , at a meeting hold in the school on the 19 th inst ., the case of James Driver was taken xip , and the strongest feeling of indignation expressed at his conduct . Tho occupants were unanimous in condemning his false testimony , and after the matter had been fully discussed , tho ' following resolution was unanimously agreed to I " That a committee of three persons be appointed to'Writo a letter in answer to the evidence of James Driver , on the trial of Gubbins against Feargus O'Connor , and that the letter be signed by the occupants . "
TO PEARGtS 0 COXXOIt , KS 0 .., M . P . lowbands , Redmarley , June 10 th , 1840 . Respected Sin , Truth and justice call on us to address this letter to you , for tho purpose of exposing the false statements made by James Driver , on the trial at Northampton . "What he states with respect to us is false ! . He says , " The generality of the tenants were not . satisfied ; the last report I had from them was very bad . " The fact is , that the man has had no report from « s ' at . all , nor did we heav anything of him till we read his ' false testimony in the newspaper . It is equally false that- the " generality " were not satisfied . - There were a few dissatisfied , but , like Driver , they went away . Again , he says ,
"I have heard that all the tenants wanted to sell , but could not get customers . They wished they could have got out as well as I did . " Ifow with what he " heard , " wo have nothing whatever to do , but deny , the truth of the assertion . According to the report lie seems to say , of Iiis oivn knowledge , that we wished to " get out , " as well as he did . Driver must have known at the time tint he was uttering a falsehood , for there was no wish on our part to sell . We are astonished at this man ' s evidence , especially when we consider the true cause ofin ' s leaving , lie left entirely on his wife ' s account , and not because he thought ho could not get a living from the land . _ During the twelve months that he was here his wife made him as miserable as possible , by her opposition to his wishes , and was always at him to leave the place , until she succeeded .. If he thought he could not succeed here , whv did he express so " much regret
at leaving , and even cry like a child because ( as he said hims ' elf ) " his wife compelled him to leave ?" At one time he was so incensed against his wife , because she wOuld not remain . here , that he threatened to leave her and go to America by himself . This we had from Driver , and that , we think , explains thb ' causc , of bi g leaving ' . , As to what he says about "doing ' well , " we . do not profess to ' understand the meaning of the words . ; We leave to Mr . Driver and the well-paid shoemakers of Northampton the definition of them ' . You are at liberty to make what use you please of this . ¦ ' l : Yours respectfully , Stephen Clark , W . A .

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES . The Central Committee of the above inaiitution , availingtheinselves ofthe renewed permission of the editor of the " Northern Star , '' Propose to resume their " Reports of Progress " from time to time , for tlie information of its members , and for that numerous class who still t 7 ith interest the proceedings ot an Association ; which , from various causes , they have hitherto stood aloof from . There are strong reasons for thinking that this
class of waverers will rapidly diminish , and that the growing prestige in favour of the . Nations Association is attributable to the fact of its having maintained its position in despite ofthe causes which have proved fatal to so many other movemuitfs equally vell-intentioned towards the working classes , and conducted with at least equal zcaiV and dovotedusss , and possibly a much larger amount of active individual talent . When a ship' successfully survives tho buffetings . and perils-of a continued series of storms and hurricanesy with her timbers and framework substantiall y unimpairedthere is
, m that feet strong presumptive evidence of her seaworthiness , and she tivkes her position A 1 on Lloyds' Book . In like manner tlie National Association , just emerging from the unexampled and unantici pated difficulties ' which hare atscncled and materially obstructed its progress duriug the last two years—but particularl y during the past year ^—appears before the public hut little damaged from the perilous struggle it has passed through , hut rather seasoned and strengthened by the severe tests and trials Its principles and policy have been subjected to , under a combination of the most
discouraging circumstances . That the National Association should then assume th © rank -A . 1 . amongst existing institutions having . claims upon the confidence of tlie workiag classes , will not excite surprise , and it is presumed tev will be disposed to dispute the justsess of claims . Among tlie " great facts" which tlie experience of the past lias demonstrated is , first—tho
mefficacy of previous Trades Unions to maintain their position as in'oteetors of the- wages of then- members in the face of any severe depression in trade . Second—that the strike system is an unalloyed evil to all parties concerned in it , and that the sooner some more rational and more economical mode of dealing with Trades disputes can b & devised , the hotter for both employer and employed , hut more particularly the latter .
It is a most pleasing feature in the experience of tho National Assoeiation , that in many instances the wages of its members have been maintained intact , while the wages in similar trades , in the same locality , of persons not being members of the National Association have suffered serious diminution . Other instances—and important ones—are on record , where Trades have not only maintained their wages , but absolutely obtained an advance luhile known to be connected with the National Association ; but whether from apathy , or a mistaken estimate of their own strength ,
having withdrawn from its ranks , not only has the advance previously obtained been lost to them , but they have been precipitated into a protracted and unavailing struggle , to preventa further serious reduction . Can there be stronger evidence of the salutary influence which the very name carries with it ? And is it net desirable that a movement , having so powerful a prestige with the employers , should receive all the aid and strength that numbers can impart to it —and that its protective powers be reduced from a possible speculative theory to an undisputed demonstrative reality ? .
The successful eflorts which have been made to supersede the strike system , by a policy more consonant witli reason , and more in harmony with the advancing ' , march of intelligence , is another distinctive feature in its principle , which has a strong tendency to neutralise the natural repugnance of the employing class to everything bearing the name of union , in connexion with Labour . The tcstimony borne by some of the most respectable employers to the efficacy and superiority of the mediatorial system of the National Association , which has terminated successfully for Labour , in a proportion of more than seventy-five per cent ., is another fact unexampled in the
history of Trades combinations . The -Central Committee point with confidence to these facts , upon Avhich they are content to rest their claims for the support and confidence of their order ; they will not condescend to appeal to the prejudices or the passions of their fellowworkmen , still less will they attempt to deceive them by coloured statements , or exaggerated boasts of advantages which may not be realised ; but referring them to established proofs of what has been accomplished by comparativel y very limited resources , ' they leave them to solve the problem for themselves , what great and glorious results might be achieved by such a multiplication of its powers as the working classes might accomplish , without any personal sacrifice . '
The late Conference at Liverpool was an epoch iu the Association ' s career , which was looked to with deep interest by numerous bodies of working , men . . The Central Committee felt that upon tho issue of that Conference hung the existence , perhaps , of the Association . They had the most unbounded faith in the elasticity of the Association , and its ability from the excellence of its principles , to adjust itself to the varying and irregular influences which all popular movements are subject to . They were prepared to hear from the assembled delegates , doubts and fears
for the future—and to combat them ; but they were not prepared for the magnificent display of unanimous , unimpaired confidence , which the delegates vied with each , other in recording as to the ultimate and speedy resuscitation of this important movement . Their generousminded prophecies az-e being realised . The preliminary measures , such as reprinting the rules , getting out tho report of Conference , & c ., has prevented tho Central Committee from giving that quick . response to the numerous invitations they have received from various parts of the country which their own
inclinations would have prompted . But this necessary business being- now nearly completed , in a few days two members of the Committee will leave town . One direct for Newcastle , where the miner ' s of Durham and Northumberland ,, and other trades , are waiting for that full information which an experienced member of the Central Committee is best adapted to impark The other will proceed first to ' tho Midland Counties , and thence to the metropolis of labour , the city of Manchester , where a phalanx of the most enlightened and faithful of the sons- of Labour
are prepared to assist in a thorough agitation of that important district . Other localitieswill be attended to ii } , turn , a ' ad ; every effort will be Eiade by tlie Central Committee ,, at home aad abroad ,, to give- effect to the reaction which is now ; -manifesting , itself throughout the kingdom .. \ .
