To The Electors And Non-M,E$T©Rs Op Hali...
TO THE ELECTORS AND _NON-M , E _$ T © RS OP HALIFAX , _Farxaw _CorarHrue . v , As your borough stands in tha anomalous position of blowing hot and cold at the same time , having _retsrned a ( nominal ) free-trader and a protectionist , a _Maynooth-msn , and an _aati-Mayttooth-maB , a Whiff and a Terr ; although in the last case I admit there is a distinction without a difference ; and since you are _thasvirtualiydisfranchiced , on these and many other leading questions of the day , permit me to offer a few remarks on the conduct of government , aad the temper of parliament , since the eommencemento f the late hurried session .
The leading questions that hare been before the house , are coercion aud finance—and I beg yoa to observe , that in the Queen ' s speech , { the shadowy programme of ministerial measures ) no mention is made of a further develpperaent of free-trade , ( sinco the _suggestion as to the n & _vieation laws is but a graft from the old tree , )—no allusion to our vitiated legal system , —no allusion to our church and land monopolies , —no allusion to the grossest et all monopolies , that of the franchise . The ministry have thus declared themselves unwilling to grapple with any of the Ieadingrequirementsof the day , and throw themselves across the palh of progression , _relyins on their two great mainstays , taxation and the bayoaet .
The mercies and the cruelties of our government are alike injurious . Take Ireland ss an instance . Last year you were called on to subscribe , tbat tho victims of aristocracy might linger on—this year } ou are taxed that those victims may be exterminated . Last year you were forced to pay to save tbe liver of the Irish—this year you are forced to pa ? for tke murderof the very same people . You areconstrained to look on while your wealth is there wasted in unproductive and contradictory employment—mak ng _feurnpike-roadsinstead of tilling fields ; aad then constructing railways to render these very roads next to useless ; constructing the means of transit , but taking no steps to create produce for _trau « tni « sioHaud then leaving the ruinous works in an unfinished _s'ate . The only means of transit now required iu
Ireland are to _theehurohyardand the _plague-ship el the emigrant—or to conduct the bayonet of coercion to the heart of its victim . In opposing the Ceereion Bill , do not Buppose 1 alieht all due protection for life . Bnt when I remember that thirty coercion bills have been passed within the last few years , and have obIj ageravated the evil . I cannot see that this one , though backed by plague and famine , will prove more efficacious than its predecessors . The best gu arantee for the landlord ' s life , is the performance ef bis duties ; and thongh . in any instance , murder should be punished , — the shot of the assassin is but the echo of voices in St Stephen ' s , dictating sanguinary laws . When , therefore , the secondary criminal in Ireland is punished , I claim ' punishmeattoofor the primary culprit on the treasury bench .
I call on you . to petition parliament against a system so nefarious—and when I say * p « titioB , ' I am not for any spaniel-like suing at the hand that strikes us . but I look on yo : ir Petition aa a PROTEST , due from those who would not be participators in 8 crime . Do not , either , think tbat your protest is out ef date , that the _^ _ueation _c-f coercion is settled . —it is but begok . —and you are concerned in its development , as well as the Irish ; for , as in Ireland , the system ie brutality end the bayonet—bo in England it is _bnettlitg and ha » bv§—with the bayonet in the background . Allow me , now , particularly to point year attention to our financial system , —a subject which hag slightly engaged the time of eur legislators , ia the last session . I beg you , firstly , to _observa on
how uneven a foundation it is based , since all taxes OB the necessaries of life weigh more heavily on the poor than on any other class—aad , since owing to our bad social system , all taxatitn , ( even that on luxuries ) comes out of the pockets of the working classes . The tax on an ounce of tobacco is , in proportion , a heavier tax on the man who has only a few shillings per week—than it is oh him who has his thousands * year . Again , he who employs hired labour virtually escapes that tax , which the labourer is ferced to pay—since additional taxation , evea on luxuries , either causes the polling down of wages , or the employment of fewer hands ; tuUB verifying my assertion , that all taxes are paid out of the pockets of the poor . This holds good evea with a _se-called ' protective tax , ' as for
instance , the corn-tax ; for , though wages might rise in consequence , the poor were not benefitted ; no , the reverse was the case , —since bread rose too , in priee , and the prica of labour was never raised in proportion to the price of food . Thus , even here , the _posrman was the loser . What has tbe _Chancellor 0 f the Exchequer propounded to equalise our system 0 f taxation ? _Thatsyetem then is one aided , oppressive and unjust ; the financial system , raised upon thia basis , is uncertain and destructive . It is a system calculated to undermine the independence of our country . Tou will remember that , during the late panio , _Niaholas of Russia propped up _FAreadneedle-streetbr _boyinp English stock and paying for it in gold . Tou will also remember tbat , since 1815 , Russia has been progressing , while England has been retrograding , ia financial strength . Finance being the great
leverage of modern diplomacy , any one having _ife in hie power to stir the muddy waters of eur financial difficulties , will be able to dictate to ap embarrassed cabinet . Nicholas will , therefore , maintain and Increase his _investment , favoured by the fortunate discovery ef gold mines in the Ural mountains , since it gives him the power to create , at any moment , a pjlhio im _Ekoulid by _throwing all his stock upon the market , aud taking gold in exchange . Here is a golden _nosse throws round the neck of eur diplomacy ; a full security , that his designs on Seutkern ooEqaest and European liberty sV . all not be thwarted here is a raine practised under onr position as a first-rate power . Such are the consequences of having the government vetted solely in a landed and monied aristocracy . What has your minister member , the Chancellor of the Exchequer , done to obviate the danger ?
He has wisely confessed himself incompetent to meet these difficulties—ha has called a committee to his aid . But how is the committee constituted ? Of an equal number of leading men of the most conflicting opinions—whose discussions will be lengthened beyond nil rational limits—and , owing to the very constitution of tbe committee , end at last in nothing . That committee of crotchet-mongers is but a mask to amu * e the people , until some fresh occurrence leads their attention to another quarter . Well might one of our leading financial organs say on the day before parliament met , when it was rumoured that Lord Grey and Sir Charlea Wood were on the eve of resigning : —
' As respects the latter gentlemen , we regarded tbe news as too good to be true . Happy will be the day for the trade , the commerce , and the finances of England , When Sir Charlea Wood shall cease to ha Chancellor of the Exchequer ; for a more Incompetent ferson—and he is as _eoncelted as he is Incompetent , —never filled the important office which he holds . We have no idea that Sir Charles Wood is the man to resign of bis own accord . We shall not , we fear , see him relieved from the cares end released from the responsibilities of office , nntil he has been ejected from _Donalag . etreet by the loudly expressed voice of public opinion . '
The remedy for our financial difficulties if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had the political honesty to [ propound it , _Ib very easy of attainment . Equalise taxation , by making it direct ia stead of indirect as at present , —establish a property tax that should weigh no heavier in proportion on the means of the poo ; than ou those of the rich , aad , by throwing down the barriers of restrictive legislation , take the legislative power out of the exclusive keeping of the monied class , and plaee it in the hands of the entire population . Then a panic in the money tnatket could no longer cripple tho policy of England , —and though Nicholas might perplex the English usurer , he would not be able to paralyse the English nation .
_Frem the experience of the past session one may judge tha promise of the future , nor expect reform at the hands of government of any of those eld monopolies , which press with every day more heavily oa the miseries they create . When I was at Halifax I slated I waa a freetrader—but , at the same time , I asserted , that the leading and professing advocates of free-trade were NOT free trader * _. Talk of free-trade—while yon annul the monopoly of corn—but monopolise that which produces
it—THE LAND . _Taifcoffrea-trade— while you aim to manufacture for all the world ? That is not free-trade—it is trade alios one aide—it is the monopoly ot trade by one elassof one country . Talk of free-trade—while you uphold a 6 _ustoms and Excise , the two wings by which your 6 hancellor of the Exchequer , like a cherub of taxation , darts into the pockets of the poor . Talk of free-trade—while your sjBtem ib confessedly foundeden COMPETITION , which , means : ' I will ruin my neighbour , that I may have his share of the profits and my own too ; I will setup a shop on this side ef the street to ruin the old _extablished house on the other , by under-selling it ; and I will repay myBelf the difference in price out of the wages of my workmen . ' Your system was not free-trade , it might shift some of the burden from the shoulders of tha mill-lord to those of the landlord—but did it tako one fraction from the shoulders of the working man : 6
I repeat , I am a free-trader—but my _free-trada is _notJthe free-trade of competition , it is that of COOPERATION ; it is not : ' How can I ruin my brother man , to obtain his share ? 'but , 'How can Ico-operate with hzrn for our mutual benefit ? Aa a free-trader , then , I demand _free-trade in land . We want free-trade in our fields , not alone in our seaports . As a free-trader , I demand free-trade- in our courts of justice . We are told that the law b » no respecter of _person ; perhaps so—but it is of puraKB . Justice is au exBensive luxury , which you may have—if you can pay for it . Many a poor man is deprived ef _justica , being usable to meet the _nre-

_liminary expenses . Why not make the law accessi ble to all—abolish the goldea barriers surrounding it —and you would have sufficient security against frivolous litigation in the taxed payment of _oountolbj the loainfj party . As a free-trader , I demand _free-trado in legislation . If it is good in the Hall of Commerce , it is good in the Hall of Legislature—it is good is the precincts of the * State _Estab ) jsbmenfc . ' And I beg to remind you , if you _hald our Irish brethren justified in complaining against _supporting two churches , that , since Maynoota endowment , the Dissenters of England are supporting THREE !
If , then , fellow countrymen , I hare truly represented your sentiments on _theae _sabjecta , I call on you , and » y title for so doing is that I consider myself your rightful _reprcuntative , to let no opportunity pass of publici y impressing these , yonr convictions , on the government and the country . What _yoa do now , ii more important than what yon do at an election—now , you must sow the seed , if then you would reap the fruit . Do not trust the Radical _^ speech ot Lord John _Russell on the Jewish Disabilities Bill , although he quoted one of the statutes of the law of England—that :
It is a _BiBTBSittHt of the people to enjoy tbe _privlltgot COMMON TO ALL . _That-The franchise vras a right ( to tho Jens ) , unless some ground of disqualification eould be proved against them . That-Being subject to the burdens of the State—being born in this country—being compelled to fulfil those duties which the state imposes on them , they ( the Jews ) have a jiwt claim to be admitted to its honours and rewards I Do not trust him , although : — Re appealed to that constitution which is the esemy of restriction and disqualification , Do not trust him , although he admitted the fitness of ( he people for the franchise , by saying ;—I believe that the people are to the fall as _enllghtaned as the members of this house .
Do not trust him , although that which holds good for the Jews , must hold pood for the Christians too . He will still oppose the reform ef every abuse . His JewiBh liberalism is easily traced to its source . It waa the _yofesof fJOO Jews who returned him for the City of London , when his election , but for them , would hare been lost . No donbj his honourable colleague made certain stipulations , _andwe see the fruits . I believe , with me , you are id faviror of religious liberty ; but even the state churchmen will now see the inevitable necessity fer a separation between _Churohand State . For , if the Church is under the political power , and that political power is in part wielded by Jewo , the anomaly of an unbeliever waking laws for a Christian Ghurcb , would be too strange for even the mon » y _« mongers of that church to countenance .
Lord John Russell iB hapny in his religious sympathies : He lives on the Catholics —represents the Jews—pr & JB _"jfitb the Protestants , and _misgoverns all . Doubting not that the noble energy which you displayed at the late election has been strengthened by the misdeeds of our government , and the consequent misery of our brethren—and promising myself the pleasure of soon again paying you a visit , and loohing forward to the time when popular indignation shall have swept away & make-shift ministry and money * bag Parliament .
I have the honour to subscribe myself , Your Representative , although not your Member , _Erneq ? Joszs 11 , George-street , Portmaa-equare , London , 30 th December , 1847 .

THE NATIONAL REGISTRATION AND CENTRAL ELECTION COMMITTEE . TO THB PPOPLE 0 * THE UNITED KINGD _8 M . Fklow _CorKTSTMSH . —At a public meeting held in this metropolis , on tbe 31 st day of August , 1846 , we received our appointment as a committee , which has since been acquiesced in , and ratified by almost every town , city , and borough , in the kingdom . At yoHr representatives , we _inued a public address to the country , calling on oar fellow countrymen to _« _register _. _reglster , register , also to collect funds , and prepare for the general _elcstlen of 1847 . Wealso issued forms of claim to be rated ; and published other matters of information connected with the subject of Registration , and we are but teo happy to state tbat ths appeal was responded to . Many were in *
daced to _register , fundB were forwarded , and our democratic brethren buckled on their armour fer the electoral fight—the day arrived , and our candidates were found in the fields , at Finahury , If ottingham , Halifax , _Shtffield , Derby , _Tlveitan , ke ., & c , in all Of Which places the great principles of'The PeopU ' a Charter' were made known , end a lasting impression created . It is our pleasing : duty to congratulate yoa , that our president and vice-president still continue members of tbe _L'gis-Uture , and that one of our colleague * ( Ur Feargus O'Connor ) , is also a member of the representative bedy , and from the great impression made , and the still growing feeling in favour of our principles , there remains but little doubt that several more of our body will speedily become members of the ' Lower House . ' We congratulate you , that at the late election seventeen persons professing the principles of' The People ' s Charter' vrere returned .
Fellow Countrymen , much has been done , much remains to be done ' , our usefulness on the late occasion was retarded , by tbe late period at which the _eubscriptions were transmitted to U » . Year committee , therefore , suggest , that this difficulty should in future be obviated by their possessing an ample fund inadvance ; you ar « yet in a minority , that minority must be converted into a majority .

Wwket —A public meeting of the inhabitants of this once-thriving town , was held last Thursday evening , 23 rd , to hear a lecture on the Land question , by Me C Doyle ; when , at six o ' clock , the hour announced for commencing the business , the large room ( lately occupied by the Temperance Society ) waa densely filled by a respectable audience , chiefly composed ot the _hnrdy sons of toil . Bnt we also noticed a goedly _snrinfcling of what is termed the middle class , —farmer ? , shopkeepers , manufacturers , and bankers , —all equally anxious to learn something of the grand novelty , which has created such a sensation amongst them . The chair was ably filled by Mr Clark , of the Staple H _« 1 I Inn , who in a brief but neat and sensible speech introduced Mr Doyle , —who
was received with every demonGtration of respect by one of the most orderly meetings we ever saw . Mr Doyle commonced by shotting tbe gieat utility of frequently meeting together , to discu * 8 their _grievance , and to express their opinions on all the great questions propounded by our state physicians , both in and out of parliament , forthe amelioration of their condition , for it was only by calm and ternperate discussion tbat tbe truth was ellicited , as it too often happens that measures purporting to be for the benefit of the people , turned eat to be bat another link in the chain of oppression , deenly _affeet . ing the future welfare of themselves aad families , and the dearest interests of Booiety ; The lecturer then , in a clear and forcible manner , demonstrated
that the continual pretensions of our legislators to the merit of ameliorating the condition of the industrial portion of society , warranted tbe assumption tbat there were grievances to redrea « , and it wa _? _, therefore , their bounden duty to consider what those etievances were , and the probable efficacy of the measures proposed for their relief . He then contrasted the relative situations of the industrious labourers and artisans with tbe drones of society _, and said , ' that if eight shillings a week was sufficient for a labouring raan ~ twenty thousand two hundred pounds a year was too much for the archbishop of Canterbury ; there waa something wrong here which not all the _noslruma of Tories , Whigs . nor Free-traders would remedy . ' He then directed
the attention of his hearera to the rise and progress of the National Land Company , and its applicability to the wants and requirements of the people , not only the mere labouring portion of the community , but also of the merchant , and the shopkeeper , innsmuch as by its general adoption , a regular and & better home market would be created , which would insure a more equitable distribution of _thenational wealth , a fuller development of the national resources , and a mora satisfactory participation in the bounties of nature by every section ot _eociety _> and that it was the duty of the government of the country to cause the waste lands to be cultivated so as to give employment and food to those who were wiliing to labour , but who were too often , as at the
_present time , in consequence of the artificial state of the labour market , thrown out of employment in large masses , to the great injury of society at large . After inviting discussion , and hoping that no one would go away _without expressing their opinions freely , if they dissented from what he had advanced , Mr D . concluded a very able lecture of one hour and a half duration , by an earnest appeal to his audience to gain all the information they could on 80 important a subject , and if they approved of it , to lose no time in becoming members of the National Land Company , and ressumed his seat asid the'hearty applause of the crowded assembly . Thanks having been voted to the leeturer and chairman , the meeting separated , highly gratified at having heard the truth preached , and we understand tbat it is the intention of the men of Witney to hold another
meeting at the earliest opportunity for the furtherance Of the Objects of the National Land Company , and Us elder brother , and very necessary adjunct , the National Charter Association . Davehtrt . —On Friday evening , Dec . 24 th , the Daventry branch of the National Land Company held their first annual meeting , to celebrate the flucecBB of the above Company , when they sat down to a most excellent supper , provided for the occasion at the Odd Fellows' Arms ; after Bupper the following toa & ta were given and responded to : ' Success to the National Land Company , '' Health of Feargus O'Connor and the other directors , ' and tho' Return Of Frost , Williams , and _Jonea . * After which , notice was given that the nest quarterly meeting will be held at the same house , on Jan . 25 th , at eight o ' clock in the evening , when one of the members will deliver an address .

TO THB CHARTISTS AND LAND MEMBERS OF THB BILSTON LOCALITY . Brethren , —Daring last cummer circumstances forced tbe old aad long-tried patriot , Daddy Richards , to become the inmate of a Union _Bastile—the Chartists of _Blleten felt Indignant—th » y raised the means to bring the old advocate oat of the said piioon , and pay his passage to Bilston ; thev did more—they supported a motion made by Mr Linney , that they would contribute weekly for tho purpose of keeping the old veteran amongst them , but very few have performed their duty , and was it not for the genuim kindness of five or < U of the Chartist body the old veteran , who has devoted a life to improve the political and social condition ot hia fellow men would be left to starve _. This is shameful conduct —> ungrateful treatment—yet such is tbo case .
If the members who meet at Mr Linney ' s every Sun . day evening would contribute the trifling , the paltry sum Of One penny each , it _would enable Mr Richards to pass the remainder of bis days ia com'ort . Eves now , _notwithstanding his age and infirmities , be is doing all he can to advance the cause , and _sursly the Bilston men will not allow him to pine in want . _Earnestly _loUciting-their attention to the above , I remain , on behalf of the Chartist Council , _IBOUAB AlltOHD , _GeOECIE Mills . — . To THE _HzMBEas Off TBE NATIONAL Land Compart . —Dear Friends : We , the undersigned , feel convinced that tbe generality of yoa who are connected with the Land tcheme , are poor like ouraelvei , and will find great difficulty v _» h « n v *\ led upon te- take possession of your respective allotments . We , therefore , suggest the following plan , and feeling conscious that if carried properly into effect it would be the meant of enabling you to purchase a cow and a pig , and to go on
your way rejoicing .

Of course we _vsish it to ha understood that the weekly _aubscrlytion of fid . from all be continued to the end . If the above is approved of , we suggest to the Edinburgh district that a delegate meeting be held in some centralised part of tbe district , at an early day , to tako into consideration the drawing out of rules , and the electing of officers to carry out the pi an . Wo remain , dear friends , yours fraternally , John Simmon , John Cox , William Mechan , James Chameri , William _Soaimerville .

The London Confederahsts. Christmas Has ...
THE LONDON CONFEDERAHSTS . Christmas has been anything but a merry one to the expatriated sons of Erin in this metropoliswhat with thoughts of those at home , surrounded as they are with gaunt famine—fever—and Whig Coercion ; their cup of sorrow—alae ! must be full-It is to be regretted that some of the members of the _^ council of the Irish Confederation should , at their late meeting in Dublin , endeavour to assist the patriots of'Conciliation Hall ia trying to suppress the public feeling exhibited in favour of Mr O'Connor at that meeting , which drew the following manly remonstrance irom one of its most energetic members , as the following extract will show . It is from
their own organ , the Natiok _: — ' Mr M . J . P . Barkt rose for the purpose ef expressing his dissent from some observations which Lad fallen from Mr _M'Gee . lie thought that Mr O'Connor was not to blame in bringing forward the _Jue _stion of Repeal in the House of Commons . If the rish members were not prepared to argue _thequestioa then they would not be prepared six months hence .
