      Brother Democrats.—Another Act Of Tyrann...

      Brother Democrats . —Another act of tyranny on the part of our 'Whig masters renders it imperative upon us again to address you . The policy of the present Government seems to be to strike at the root of the agitation , by the incarceration of the men who have the ceurage and ability to expose those wrongs and outrages which , in the sacred name -of law , are practised upon the patiently enduring people of Great Britain . In this design they shall and most be discomfited . The great cause of political emancipation will never lack advocates in this country so long as justice is revered , liberty ioved , or suffering sympathised with .

      Brother Democrats , you are ere tms aware , that your eld aud tried friends , James Leach , Daniel Donovan , John West , George White , Thomas Rankin , John Clark , and others , have been doomed , by a judicial ukase , to twelve months * imprisonment in Kirkdaie jail , their only crime being the courage and honesty to address their fellow countrymen in the Irnguage of political truth . Baron Alderson , in passing sentence said , that they would he treated as first-class misdemeanants . Now to avail themselves of the privileges of this distinction , it is necessary that they support themselves , or be supported by you . Being all of our own order , they have no other patrimony but their labour to depend

      npon , that , in their present situation is valutless . And even if they had wherewithal to maintain themselves , it would be neither honourable . in us , or just to item , to leave them dependant on their own resources . These generous-hearted , noble-minded fellows , are suffering because of their labaurs in the service of the people ; they are punisked because & f their devotion to that cause , tbe triumph of which would be the emancipation of the millions from the thraldom of Whig and Tory xulc . They have cheerfully braved danger to render ns gooa service—we now owe a sacred duty to them —and , as the one was honourably performed , let lhe Other be now promptly fulfilled . "

      Brother Democrats , we shall , without further nrefece , tell you what we now propose . It is , that these patriots should be creditably and comfortably supported by ns during the term of their incarceration . When we consider that the means of doing this are trifling , vre feel confident that the good work will ba done . Would it not , we ask , be most disgraceful to us , as a party , if our neglect of these' brethren in bondage / reduced them to the miserable alternative of surrendering the poor privileges of first-class misdemeanants , and submitting to the felon ' s fare and treatment ?

      vfe submit , that as the greater number of our friends are best known in Manchester , that a committee should te at once formed of the most active and energetic Chartists of that locality , and that they should immediately set to work to collect subscriptions , to support those victimB of a treacherous and traitorous Whig Government . YTe also suggest that -another be formed at Liverpoal , to co-operate with that of Manchester . And from our knowledge of the energy and spirit which the Chartists of these towns can put into requisition when occasion demands , we feel persuaded tbat they of themstlves < euld perform this simple act of justice to our « ndungeoned friend ? . This , however , must not be : the burthen , though light , must be equally borne . No locality will refuse its fair share .

      Brother Chartists of Manchester and Liverpool ! discuss the subject of this address at your meetings on Sunday evening . Do not separate without form * ingyour committees . - Let the Star of Saturday next announce the fact , accompanied with a firm appeal to the Democrats of the United Kingdom ; vre will venture npon their part , to guarantee a generous response to it , while we solemnly promise our cordial co-operation , in every endeavour to illume the gloom of the patriots' cell with a ray ef comfort and sympathy . jfe .

      What Is To Be Done Next Session ? I In A...

      WHAT IS TO BE DONE NEXT SESSION ? i In another month a new Session of the present Parliament will commence its sittings ; whether these will be as protracted and as useless as those of last year remains to be seen . As yet no indication whatever has been given as tothe-nature of the policy with which the Ministry intend to take the field . Judging from their antecedents , It may be doubted whether they have a policy at all , except , indeed , the determination to wait upon Providence , and shape their course according to the emergencies of the hour , may be dignified with that name .

      It is quite clear , however , that the standstill and do-nothing mode of procedure adopted by them last year will not suit the nation longer . Even the shopkeeping classes are getting rid of their panic , and beginning to move in public matters , though , as usual , their movement smells marvellously of tbe blistering and penny-saving style of doing business . They seem to be incapable of understanding the existence of anything else in the world except £ . s . d ., these magic letters bound their political , social , and domestic horizon ; all national change or movement is

      valuable to them ^ only in as far as it subserves the great object of their lives— -how to get or to save money . In the coming Session we shall hear plenty on that favourite topic with these classes , and perhaps the Ministry may find they have rather a difficult gome to play with them . But all merely financial reforms , which leave the radical errors of our political and industrial arrangements untouched , must be in their very nature mere stopgaps—palliatives which are but momentary in their influence and duration . What is really wanted is such a change in the

      political system as shall give the whole people the power of appointing representatives , who , having convictions and sympathies in common with them , will labour to give legislative effect to their wishes , and provide the means of supplying their wants . One of the most prominent and pressing of these wants is the want of employment and subsistence , which grows wider and more stringent every day among all kinds of workmen . It is true that some " wise " men have discovered tbat tbis isbecause there are too many of us in these islands , and that the cure is to be found in shipping a few hundred thousands , or two or three millions of the

      " surplus" to other lands . The " Times" was a great supporter of this doctrine lately , but some figures showing the extent to which Emigration has gone during the last two years , have rather'frightened it into common sense again . It appears that the grand total of Emigrants from all the British ports , during the first eleven months of 1847 , was 244 , 251 , and for the first eleven months of tbis year 220 , 053 . These are the numbers who have passed under the official notice of the Government Emigration agents at the various ports . In addition to them , there must be reckoned thousands of the better

      classes of emigrants , who have not come under the surveillance of these officers . The "Times' ' comes to the conclusion , that "there can be no doubt in these two years more than half a million natives of these islands have fled to other shores . ' ' Now , if the Malthusian doctrine was true , this large exportation ef " surplus" humanity ought to be looked upon as a good riddance , and as leaving more ample elbow room and larger rations for those who remain . But the organ of the money owners and the labour buyers has been struck with a new idea on the subject , though a very old one to our

      readers . It has found out that these despised and useless surplus labourers were , after all , the source of wealth to this country ; that "the capital , the stock , and the plant of this island are continually increasing , and have lately increased more rapidly than ever , and demand hands for their further development . " It is , therefore , not without alarm that it sees this drain of native industry , and awakens to the perception of the feet , that "tfte United States gain what we lose . " The impossibility of procuring " cheap labour" to carry on the great works of this country , if the people fly from our shores at the same rate , looms in the distance , and the " Times" cries » ' Stop . "

      Just look at the shameless selfishness and ] cupidity of the class of whose sentiments and feelings it is the exponent . At one moment , from the dread of being compelled to disgorge a little more than usual of that wealth , which they have filched from the labouring classes , in the shape of poor rates , they cry out hastily for wholesale emigration . At the next , finding that this is likely to raise the cost of carrying out our great works , by raising the price of labour , they cry " Stop at home . ' In both cases they care not one doit for the operative classes , save as mere machines , by whose labour they can become wealthy , to be thrown aside or treated as so much lumber when no longer wanted for that purpose , or when they cease to serve it . . We have seen retributive justice overtake the landlords of Ireland , for tha sordid aad

      What Is To Be Done Next Session ? I In A...

      selfish course they havetakenr Bnglish'mamifaoturers and money * . grabbers of all kinds had better take warning in } time , and turn their thoughts to measures that will enable all classes to live in peace and prosnerity in their native land . The impudent falsehood that this conntry is overpopulated , has been s thoroughly exposed , that few now have the hardihood to utter it . A curious illustration of this fact took place at a recent Emigration meeting , in Warwickshire , at which Lord Lyttleton presided . It was attended by the persons who have for some months past been engaged in running about the country , and

      describing Australia as a perfect paradisewhere a man has little else to do than to eat , drink and be merry , and to grow rich withal . After drawing a gloomy , but not overcoloured picture of the state of affairs at home , Australia was proposed as the remedy—whereupon it was objected to by a Chartist , that this country was not overpopulated , and that Emigration of itself was no remedy for the evils which had been described . Mr Adderley , one of the members for ^ the county , who replied , admitted that in the abstract this country wag not overpopulated , but added that that fact might be consistent with another , namely ; that there might be too many in one particular locality , or engaged in one particular

      calling . For such a temporary surplus , be preferred foreign Emigration to Mr O'Connor ' s plan of Small Farms , though he admitted that plan was sound in principle , and that if carried out under proper management and upon a right basis , it could not fail to confer a great and lasting benefit upon the country . Mr Muntz , member for Birmingham , who followed , heartily denounced the falsehood of overpopulation , and stated his own belief , that there was ample room in this country for three times its present number of inhabitants , and though no formal vote was come to on the subject , it is clear the Emigration-mongers experienced a decided rebuff .

      We hail the admission of Mr Adderley , as to the soundness and the value of Mr O'Connor ' s plan , as the first of many similar admissions in time to come . The political prejudices of some , the personal hostility of others , and the popular ignorance which prevails on thesubject , have hitherto conspired to prevent its merits from being acknowledged , or its capabilities fairly tested . In the course of time ; these causes of misapprehension will cease to operate on the public mind , and a dispassionate examination take . place . If the system will not stand such an examination , the sooner it is abandoned the better for all parties . aoanaonea the better tor all parties .

      Among the indications that we are approaching a period when the vitally important questions involved in this matter are likely to be more earnestly and intelligentl y investigated and discussed than heretofore , we may mention the publication of a work entitled "A Plea for Peasant Proprietors , with the outline of a plan for their establishment in Ireland . " The author —Mr W . T . Thornton—is already honourably known ia this department of literary exertion , by a former work , entitled " Over Population , and its remedy . " Ia that just issued , he has ably drawn together all the facts illustrative of the value , advantages , and practical working of the Small Farm system , as shown in different

      countries . With most of these our readers are already familiar , either through the medium ef tbe " Labourer" magazine , or the editorial columns of this journal . It is a great advantage , however , to have them all brought together and made such a good use of , as Mr Thornton has done in his very opportune publication . No one can rise from its perusal without being thoroughly convinced of the superiority of the Small Farm system , which , in most European countries supports a large rural population in comfort and happiness , and free from pauperism and poor rates , over that which , in this country supplies us with such frequent illustrations of want of employment , crime , and taxation .

      One indispensable pre-requisite " to any real or permanent improvement of the . condition of the people of this country , is to find them productive , profitable , remunerative labour , and to increase the sum total of real . wealth , and the staple necessaries of life required by the population . Mere trading , or the'Jtransfer of food , clothes , hardware , furniture , & c , from one hand to another , however largely it may show in the trade and navigation returns , does not augment the amount of these articles . They rather lose by each transfer , and it is

      quite possible to have very formidable lists of imports and exports , without a nation being much the better for them , as we all know to our sad experience . But this system , which begins at the beginning , and produces more food and raw material on which labour can he afterwards bestowed , must necessarily promote the substantial interests of all classes , and the general interests of the nation . In this important respect . Mr Thornton demonstrates the superiority of the Small Farm over the Large Farm system . He says : —

      In the year 1837 the average yield of wheat on the large farms of England wai only twenty . ons buibela , and tbe highest average for say one county was no more than twenty-Bls bosbels . The highest average since claimed for the whole of England is thirty bushels ; and , according to a statement resting on the same authority , the produce of the seed is seldom less than twelve-fold ; bat if drilled , fourteen-fold , and if dibbled , sixteen or even twenty-fold . In Jersey , where tho average size of farms is only sixteen acres , tbe average produce of wheat per acre was stated by IngUe , ia 1831 , to be thirty-six bushels ; bat it is proved by official tables to bare been 40 bushels in the five years ending with 1833 . Ia Qntitaey , where farms are still smaller , four quarters per acre , according to Inglis , 'is considered a good , bat still a very common crop . ' In Flanders , where the most numerous class of farms consists ef those between

      fire and ten acres , tbe average yield of wheat is at least thirty bushels { ' Plemlsh Husbanirj , ' pp . 8 and 7 G ) . Mr HicouHoch , indeed , without quoting his authority , sets It down at bo more than 20 $ bushels per acre ; bat this , though only a trifls below tbe average ascribed by tho same writer to the whole of Eaglaafl , and higher than that of one-half of the whole ' number of English coun . tie * , is evidently incorrectly stated , sad most beoonsl . deratf y below the truth , as Mr Ilaooulloch likewise says , that tbe seed sown produces more than twentv . fold . Ie should be observed tbat the soil , both of Flanders and of the Channel Islands , is for tbe most part of a light sandy character , ill-adapted for the growth of wheat .

      Of barley , a more callable crop , the quantity in some parts ef Belgium Is sometimes as much as eighty bushels per acre , and tha average is forty-five ; wbll 8 | n England it Is only thlrty . three bu » helg . Of potatoes , tho averrga produce in England is certainly no ! more than 300 bushils , er 23 , 200 lbs . ; and in Jersey , 35 , 90 Olbs . Glover another most important article of farm produce , Is nowhere found in ' such ptrfeot luxuriance' as In Flan , ders , where it exhibits * a vigour and weight of produce truly surprUiGg / more especially whea It it considered ' tbat such prodigies crops are raised from 6 lbs , ot seed per acre . ' ( Miecallocb , Qsrg . Diet ., vol . 1 , p 331 . ) These proofs may be thought sufficient to establish the superior productiveness of small farms ; bat if others be rtqalred they may be found in England Itsel f , among the

      smaUest of snail farmers—the allotment holders of a quarter of an acre ,, who seldom fall to obtain a profit of at least £ 5 sterling even from tbat morsel of ground . It appears , then , that tbe small occupier , ia spite of his disabilities , real or Imaginary , would be able to get a good deal more frem his land than It would yield if it formed a portion of a large farm ,. After paying , therefore , rent at the same rate as tha large farmer , and after tafelrg for his own use the same sum ai woald ba appUed te > the maintenance of th * cultivator of an equal portion of a large farm , he woald have remaining , not only as great , bat a muoh greater relative snrplas wherewith to continue his cultivation . Acre for acre he woaM bo able to spend In improvements , not only as anon , bat a geo & deal mors than his rival .

      Our space will not permit of further ex . tracts on the present occasion , but the object we had in view was merely to direct attention to this subject , as one of the most important character . The investigation by the Select Committee of the Bouse of Commons last year , of the plans and accounts of the National Land Company , should , during the ensuing session , be vigorously followed up by appeals t *> the

      Legislature , either to adopt these plans , or any better that can be devised , to provide permanent remunerating employment for the people . That is the question * f questions , and unless it be forced upon the attention of Parliament by the pressure from without , it is quite certain that neither Ministers of State , nor members of the Legislature , will turn to it voluntarily .

      - ' - - The -M'Atf C Hesters Victims:' "...

      - ' - - THE -M'Atf C HESTERS VICTIMS : ' ""' We direct the attention of the Chartist body to the address of the Executive in another page , in which is made an appeal in behalf of John West , George White , James Leach , and their fellow sufferers . We trust that that appeal will be heartily responded to . Our readers are aware , that the imprisoned patriots are placed on Jthe footing of first-class misdemeanants ; they are permitted to wear their own clothes , receive books and newspapers , write and receive .-letters , and ,

      we believe , see visitors every day , Sundays excepted . They are not merely allowed , they are hound , to find their own provisions ; should they fail to do so , and be driven to seek the prison allowance ,. they would forthwith cease to enjoy the privileges they at present possess , and be degraded to the positim occup ied by the common class of prisoners . Such a result of public apathy would be not more painful to the men themselves , than it would be disgraceful to . 'the working classes . These men are an honour to their

      order , and for the rights of their order they are suffering , The people must not , will not , be ungrateful to their advocates and defenders . We presume , that before this time , committees have been formed in Manchester and Liverpool , to provide for the wants of our incarcerated brethren . We ought to have been placed in a position to have furnished the public with the addresses of the . , secretaries of these committees , but , at present , we are ignorant of what steps have been taken in those two towns ; we , therefore , can only repeat our announcement -of last week , that assistance may be forwarded to the care of Mr Farrell , Temperance Hotel , 62 , Richmond Row , Liverpool .

      Anything in the shape of actual assistance cannot be too soon forwarded—such as money , postage stamps , or provisions of any kind . We again appeal to the readers of this journal , to do their duty to the men who never failed in the performance of their duty ' whilst battling for the cause of the people .

      The Families Of The Victims. " I Know," ...

      THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS . " I know , " said a certain judge , when sentencing a number of Chartist victims— " ! know that most of you have those at your homes who will suffer by your conduct . " It is to be feared that this taunt predicted the truth . We have received a letter from Leeds , containing some particulars of the present condition of the wife and children of the imprisoned patriot , George White . We have heard with feelings of indescribable pain , that Mrs White is without house or home of her own , and that George White ' s children are positively wanting food . This is a terrible condition for a wife and mother to be reduced to .

      We are informed of a circumstance which possibly admits of explanation , and which , when explained , may .. wear a less ungracious appearance than it does at present . It is reported to us , that on Sunday night last , at the usual public meeting in the Leeds Bazaar , two friends made a collection for Mrs White , and obtained the sum of twelve shillings . Our informant adds , that the collectors were not allowed to give this money to the-person for whom it was collected , the committee resolving

      that the money should be sent to the General Victim Fund . We have always approved of a general fund , and only regret that that fund is so inadequatel y supplied with the means of distributing efficient aid to all who have claims upon it . But we submit , that cases may arise where assistance is pressingly needed , and where it is only an act of justice to give aid which may be obtained from any 'local source , without waiting for a remittance from the general fund .

      So far as the facts are before us , we believe such a case to be that of Mrs White , and her children . If we have been misinformed , we shall be happy to correct any error we may have fallen into ; but if the facts have been correctly stated to us , then we must protest against an act which we conceive to be neither generous nor just . It may be as well to state that Mrs White ' s present address Is 7 , Fenton s Court , Saxton Lane , Bank , Leeds .

      We have hesitated to make this statement . We feel assured that it will pain both the imprisoned victim , and her whose name is so prominently brought forward . But silence might be the cause of even a greater pain . If Geerge White ' s wife and children were suffering , we should hold ourselves guilty if we did not adopt the only course open to as to obtain , if possible , an amelioration of the sad condition of those who deserve a happier fate .

      Let it not be supposed that we desire to single out any particular person with the object of sacking a monopoly of public favour for that person . Nothing of the sort . We fear that the families of several of George White ' s comrades are in an equally unhappy position . If we do not name them personally , it is because we desire to spare them the pain of being dragged before the public . A well-supported General Victim Fund should be provided for the fair and impartial relief of all the families ; in addition to which local assistance should be liberally and cheerfully given .

      Chartist Organisation. We Beg To Remind ...

      CHARTIST ORGANISATION . We beg to remind the Chartist body of an address from the Chartist Executive Committee , which appeared in this journal of Decembe r 16 th , calling on the friends of Chartism to subscribe A NEW YEAR'S GIFT to the funds of the Charter Association . If that appeal is properly responded to , the Executive will be enabled to pjosecute the agitation with renewed vigour , and establish a veritable organisation of the friends and supporters of the People ' s Charter . Let it be borne in mind that the Executive is an unpaid body . That the members of that committee give to , not take frorn the funds . Besides giving their time , talents , and labour , they are foremost in contributing to the general treasury . It is impossible to impute other than disinterested and patriotic motives to the members of the Executive , in making the appeal they hare done . Should the members and friends of the Association neglect to answer that appeal , the leaders will , of course , remain in their present powerless position . If , on the contrary , the appeal should be satisfactorily responded to , the Whigs will be soon made to know that they have prosecuted and persecuted tbe advocates of the Charter in vain , Next Saturday ' s money list will determine whether the present disorganisation is to continue , or whether we are to have an efficientl y organised movement for the purpose of achieving the triumph of Equal Rights and Equal Laws .

      Mr Odd's Toub, '" ' ¦ To The Editor Op T...

      MR ODD'S TOUB , '" ' ¦ TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib , — -I lectured : at Bradford on Tuesday , the 19 th . The trials at York were then going on / antf great anxiety was manifested as to the probable fate of the Bradford victims . The meeting was held ia the Long Pledge Hall , and the numbers present may be estimated from the fact , that the money collected was £ 2 17 s ., tha surplus being voted for the defence of the prisoners . The council promised to use their influence to re-estabilsb the old Plan ofOrganisa . tion , and , as an earnest of their good intentions , roted 10 s . to the Executive Fund . Under judicious management , Chartism would flourish in Bradford . The town is densely populated ; and when meetings are held , there is an unanimity of resolution , power *

      ful for good or evil , depending solely on its direction to a practical and defined purpose . A local council , wisely chosen , consisting of the most sober and experienced ofthe body , would , by perseve rance , speedily regenerate the popular movement . The enthusiasm of youth is always to be courted , honoured , and admired . It is the young blood of a state that gives energy to popular reforms ; but , ia a country like this , the institutions of which are old , and its people unbabituated to sudden changes , youthful enthusiasm sometimes becomes dangerons ; it ripens and quickens into resolution—re-action is correlative among the propertied and dependant classes—men are afraid—despotism is strengthened —and the magnified fears of the middle classes are the stock-in-trade from which ministers undermine

      the liberty of the subject by Coercion and ' Gag * ging Bills , ' and their sure successors—political persecutions . Therefore it is that intelligent and ex perienced men are most valuable as sub-agents of the National Charter Association . We require the energy of youth , directed by the experience Of age . The « ld soldiers are the sappers and miners , who prepare and direct the attack ; the young constitute the active and reserve forces , who carry the siege

      and storm the citadel . Both are indispensable for victory , But the sappers and miners must go first . More money has been collected in Bradford than ia any other town of its size . Yet they are in con * tinued trouble and pecuniary difficulty . Let tbe past be a lamp to light the path for the future and Bradford , once enrolled in the Plan of National Organisation , for the objects denned in the rules of the society , and , my word fer it , this town will be found to be a powerful auxiliary .

      I next proceeded to Honley , a small manufacturing village , laying between Huddersfield and Holmfirth . The friends here have a hall for their own purposes . The night was bitterly cold . Natwith . standing , the meeting was well attended . A most respectable and intelligent-looking workman asked the following question : — ' Mr Kydd , seeing we are S 3 surround , d by bigotry and error , do you not think it would be wiser for the friends of progress to form themselves into societies

      for the organisation of labour ? ' i answered , 'Itis the interest of all men to improve their circumstances industrially , and nothing could be more desirable than that the labourers should be enriched by the full possession of the fruits of their own labour , and a few successful experiments would do much towards the solution of tbe problem—What can be done for the people ' s be it remembered , however , as my friend lias said , that we live surrounded by bigotry and error . These obstructions must be removed , and all measures of relief must be looked at in a two-fold

      light , —What will be their results on the active agents engaged , and acted upon by such measures ? What will be the general results in their relation to the interests of humanity ? Chartism is not destructive , but humanising ; political , social , and moral reform are not antagonistic , hut joint parts of the same whole . I aaj , then , to the , Commwnists , cooperators , and moral reformers , ' Go on , and I wish you may prosper . ' Such a question suggests to your readers some thoughts on the' spirit of the age , '

      and is worth more than tbe last volume of Hansard , containing the rambling lucubrations of Chisholm Anstey , the witticisms and conceits of Disraeli , and embodying in thick boards the crudities , absurdities , and puerilities of Parliament . I returned by coach and railway to Keighley , and lectured on Thursday evening at Howarth , a small hamlet among the hills , in the Keighley district . On Friday 1 lectured in Silsden , in the same district . Tbe meeting was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , and was well attended .

      On Saturday I proceeded to Sutton , through one of the finest valleys in Yorkshire , and found that our Sutton friends bad procured tbe use of a chapel at Cross Hills , about half a mile distant . The meeting was crowded to excess , tbe managers and elders of the chapel being present . They opened by singing a hymn . I lectured on 'Labour and Land . ' A most respectable middle-aged gentleman , who is , I am informed , a local preacher , and an elector of tta Riding , asked me by what means did I hope that

      Universal SuflYage could become law ? I replied , t That as an acknowledgment of truth , singleness of purpose , energy of action , intelligence and organisation of numbers , seemed to me to be the elements of success i ve would endeavour to aggregate those from society ; and if we could by persuasion and argument change the thoughts of men , we would one day change institutions , laws , and governments . ' The leader of the band gave out the Hundredth psalm , beginning with the line , ' All people that on earth do dwell ; ' and so ended the labours of tl e W 0 ) k .

      On Sunday I addressed a crowded meeting in the Bazaar , in Leeds , hundreds being unable to obtain admission . At the conclusion , the organisation was begun , and the committee generously voted £ 1 as a new year ' s gift . I proceeded to Rotherham , to a tea party ,- the meeting was select , harmonious , aad elevating . I thank our Rotherham fr . 'ends for their great support . At Rotherham there are a few fine fellows , and now , as they have procured a regular place of meeting , I augur their success . Mrs

      Theobald , a lady-lecturer on temperance , addressed the meeting , and made a feeling appeal on behalf of the victims . I this evening lectured in the Town . Hall on 'Labour , its position and prospects . ' And as our friends in the Midland Counties , for most sufficient reasons , desire to postpone my visit for a month , I will return to London , not later than Saturday . Wishing you and all your readers a happy new year , I remain , yours faithfully , Samuel Kydd . Sheffield , December 26 th . "

      P . S . —The West Riding election lias turned out most favourable for the interests of democracy . Many of the supporters of Sir Culling C . Eardley have discovered that they have hitherto played a losing game , and openly confess that there is no hope for progress but by a union with the OUt-andout Radicals . The union between the constitutional , Whigs and the unconstitutional Tories , has completely changed the relation of parties . Earl Fitzwilliam , whose purse was most advantageous in bygone times , is no longer to be depended on , A cheque for a few thousands cannot now be had at will . If the Chartist electors stand aloof , the Whigs and who

      Tones , are united to defend the ' Church and Constitution , ' are in the majority . Our policy is obvious . Let the Chartist electors in each district form themselves into local committees-correspond with all the districts in the Riding-fix on the man who is to be their representative , the disappointed and thinking parties of the Liberal interest will support them in preference to either the Whigs or Tories . No compromise will be necessary , as the balance of power will be in their hands , and the non-electors will give to them a most decided sup . port . One thing is plain , so important a constituency must not again be sacrificed to satisfy the ambition of a misjudging and crotchety faction .

      The Chartists , throughout Yorkshire , will , I hopf , , continue to correspond with the Executive . The i Wakefield nomination has raised them in popular t esteem , and , in the future , we must never loss an i inch of ground once gained . The suscess of our r present attempt at re-organisation rests merely with a the local leaders . If they do their duty , and , I I doubt not but they will , success is certain . Ours ia a not a struggle of party or faction , it is the cause of > i human right and progression , and progress it must . , == * == S , Kt
