My Friends, H Aving Disposed Of The Ques...
My Friends , H aving disposed of the question of Finance , 2 nd having satisfied trie Committee upon that subject , b y not onl y assenting to , but b y secon ' _ding . the appointment of an accountant , to be appointed b y the Committee , to go into the V , hole money question , from the establishment of vour Company , the next branch of the suly ' ect to be submitted , is that of our power of reproducing the funds that have been expended snon Land . * and all argue as if an estate , once
purchased and enriched by Libour _, became a dead letter , and never could be changed into money ; although , where houses are built for the noble and the great , the builder raises the first story aid mortgages it tj complete the edifice ; although the manufacturer buys raw cotton and wool , and by Labour converts it into a commodity exchangeable for . more money ; although the grocer buys a hogshead of _^ u _^ ar retails it , and converts the ameunt into more susrar : vet it is IMPOSSIBLE for vim to _buv land , enrich it by labour , erect houses at wholesale prices upon it , and then _^ m-prf it into more lan d and houses , always
bearing the fact in mind , that land is the only taw material upon which labour can be _extended with a certainty of a remunerating _reg ard ; and , still further , that land is the Mint in which the Labourer can coin his sweat into iT t , ld . which he can exchange for \ every necessar ' and luxury of life . An * , yet further , that while your " land is uncultivated , and you are looking " to foreign countries for food , the new scheme for destroying the Land Plan is , bv expending fifteen millions upon the _transportation of able-bodied men , who , if located -jp ' on the Land at home , would constitute a market of producers and consumers at our / vrn ilnor .
Cut . my friends , as the object ot tne _aetec . Committee to inquire into the Land Plan , was to damn the _^ _s-oject _, b y damning the character of its propounder , the Government and its tools have signally failed in their _attempt . As there is not upon record trne single instance of the same honest integrity , industry , and _perseverance , that has been , and shall be , made manifest in the management of your affairs . And , although unsupported by the Press , but , _™ t _>! PP . fir , trary . _oonosed and denounced by the
Tress for a quarter of a century , I ch . al . enge and dare the Government to appoint a Select Committee to inquire into my conduct during the whole of that time , and I will allow them to constitute that Committee of their mercenaries , their tools , and their prostitutesand I tell them more , as I seek no favour nor lenity at their hands , that I will carry this inquiry into their own camp , as I am not a bauble with which even a Ministry shall play 3 t its pleasure .
You will bear in mmd the proposition _ma _. I laid before you last week . —It is this , —that , if it will cost a builder 200 .. to erect a cottage that I can erect for 100 / . ; and if he can ensure a good tenant at a rent of 51 . per cent _, interestj upon his outlay , I can give the same tenant a better _" cottage " and three acres of land that cost 33 / . 6 s . Sd . an acre , for the same amount of rent . Aud , by this calculation , I am enabled to sell the house and three acres of land for the same amount of money that the builder can sell the house alone for . And yet we are told , that the whole funds of the Corncam- will only locate so many of its members .
But . more than that , the backwardness or farmers is admitted , while I bring mechanical genius to bear upon the cultivation of the soil , and I convert old ditches and fences into good arable ground . But let me set this question at rest . I will undertake , upon forfeiture of this Land Plan , which is dearer to me than life itself , to rent twenty acres of grass land at 50 / . a year , or 2 / . 105 . an acre , and to _purchase it out ana out , the fee simple of it , _ancfteaye it ia a better state than I found it / in three years fmm trift dav I take possession .
Now , if this won fc prove the value ot labour , I don ' t know what will . Bot I think I hear tbe aseptic exclaim "This is but assertionvague assertion . " Well , then , sp orting men invest their capital upon the chances of a _hoise race , and I will undertake to back my _^ sertion with a wager of five hundred pounds , to be placed in the hands of an umpire . And I tell you more , that all that I have written , and all that I have said , as to the capabilities of the soil , falls immeasurably short ofthe _Tvalitv . But of all plans that ever were
propounded , the traffickers in mrea wage , _ndte this the most . And now I would ask you whether von ever heard of any other man , gentle or _simpVprosecuting hi . labours in behalf of the poor with the same determination that I have evinced , and opposed , as I have been , by the Pre-, tne Government , the employers , the _midJle-jfelass , the . rascals and vagabonds , who could hot live upon it ? # My friends , I tell vou , that the opposition I have ' received , would have killed any other man while it hut confirms me in my
determination to go on . The process that every plan has to go through is , first , ABUSE ; then , that it is UNI RUE ; and , at last , when it triumphs , that it is NOT NEW . My p lan has been abused , it has been declared not to be true ; but no man will be hardy enoug h to declare that it is not new . Mr Cullingham , a master builder , and my overseer , has been examined by the Committee , and he has declared that he could not build one of my houses—that i % a single house-for less th ' an 200 / . Nor could :-: « ' Hp rWlared that no gentleman , spending
his private fortune , could be more tangent , attentive , and careful , than I have been in the management of your funds . Mr Doyle is to be examined ; Mr M'Grath has been examined ; some of the Allottees are to he examined ; and , after being cautioned . by the Chairman , 1 submitted myself for examination and my observation was , " That I cared . - ot what penalties , either personal or pecu-Liarv , my evidence mav subject me to ; that i _. _enarated the question of legality f rom tbe question of honour , and that I submitted my-, elf _, not onl y willingl y , but cheerfully , to the n _. _ot ririd and searching examination .
. Mr M'Gowan , who receives the money irom thc Directors and lodges it in the Bank was examined , and he proved that I had repeatedly told him to be at all times careful that the Land Fund should not be confounded with mv private accounts ; and that now rather than pay ready money for stamps for the Northern Star , that I was paying from 4 / . to 5 / . per week by taking credit , which makes to me a difference of between 200 / . and loo / , a year . The Committee further wished to _> i . brnit mv accounts up to the last balance sheet furnished by the Directors , which _brou-rJit our affairs to the 25 th of March ; but
I answered , "No : 1 * 11 bring them down tolas . Saturday , the 24 th of June . ' ' And , my friends , if I should be convicted of illegality , and _personal responsibility , for having violated the _tec-iilc- _ilities of the law , in mv holy and _dod-like _-nderiakinj ., as I told the Chairman , I would e more happy peeping throug h my P » son _iiars , than he ' would be at large . " But I defy hoth him and his Government . The Press will now give up the question of in _ance _, and will apply itself to the question " ! ' re-production ; indeed it has commenced the new tactics already , as you will learn from the following artiele , " which appeared ifl the ; kilv _Xfu-s . of Monday last . Here it is : —

regularly employed operative . And Tre refer , especially , to the _manufacturing and niechanical classes of workmen , because it is from them that Mr O'Connor chiefly , i f not exclusively , obtains the - members' of his Land Comp : iny . When , therefore , tbe Land Company ' . prize holders win ' tho ri _. ht to occupy land at twice its real annual value there can be little doubt that their gain is a loss . But if such be the position and prospects of the winners , what of the losers ? I f the prizes be the right of working , to live and pay rents hopelessly exorbitant , what . tre the blanks ? And this is the point ol view iu which , at present _, we must _regard this scheme . Mr O'Connor is seeking from the legislature a special act to legalise his com . pany ; a select _cocimittee is sitting to take evidence , that parliament may consider the propriety of giving to the ' national bailiff * facilities btyond tbe ordinary law ofthe _pfinntrt . Mr O'Connor * * scheme is . that there _should lap .
owe hundred thousand shares of-fl 6 s . each , of which no one person is to hold less than two or more than four ; consequently , the number of shareholders may amount to fifty _thousand ; and repart savs more than forty thousand persons have in fact become _suoscribers . Now , assuming the aTerage cost of each allotment at £ 333 . and a fraction —which , taking thc _figures from Mr O'Connor ' s own _statements on divers cccasious , is below the mark—a thousand pounds will locate three persons . This will give 310 fortunate peasant proprietor , as the result of the coutrihutions of between forty and fifty thousand persons . But all the forty thousand " blanks want to be located as well .-is the three hundred prizes . Working men don't tat _., _th _^ ir two . three , or f . mr shares in the ' National Land
Company" as investments . They do not look tor anyhigh rate of interest for the money they have eked out of their earninzs . And , in truth , if the profits of the Land Company shouid prove hi gh , beyond the rate of the most exaggerated railway estimate , of past years , the actual amount of profit _p-iyable to each shareholder would 6 tUl be so small as not to be worth notice . That , however , is not pretended to be held out aa a motive for subscribing ; to get an allotment is the hope , the promise of an allotment is the inducement , ofthe _subscriber ? and the author ofthe ? chem ? . Let us ask any hard-headed working man how all the 49 , 7 i 0 _moaibeTs a . W to _tv provided with allot _, ments when all the capital of the company is required to nr . ivide _allntments for three hundred ?
' Oh , but , ' says Mr O'Connor , * we win mortgage tne property , * and lay tut the money we have borrowed in buving more land * , ' and 3 s that gentleman comes from Ireland , we may assume that he knows something about mortgages . Let us see if we can obtain some notion ofthe data on which this gentleman founds his calculations , if his random estimates deserve thatname . Mr O'Connor stated lately tbat he was going to sell , as auctioneer , some allotments in Lincolnshire ; and to in . duce men to buy . he added , that tbere was inferior land in the SRwe neighbourhood let for from £ . __ to __ f 30 . It _atmears since , that a few lots had sold at a comparatively
high price , but that more remained unaisposea ot . in Mr O'Connor s letters to the members of the Land Company , giving an account of this sale , we find a passage which indicates how lie values allotment lands . He says , 'many parties with a little _capital , but not sufflcieut to purchase , offered to pay a year ' s rent iu advance , and __ - _ i a year for four acres without a house . Now , _estimating four acres , that would have brought that rent , at £ _7 S per acre , or -. - - . Od for the lot , it would have left the capitalist nearly seven per cent , in land and labour security , the land becoming every day better and more _rftluable — and therefore every day increasing his _. _ponritv . "
Without professing to understand exactly tnis not rery clear passage , we think it may be taken to mean that land thus allotted ont is good se . urity for capital , and that it is a security « in land and labour , ' whi-h will constantl y increase . Mr O'Connor , therefore , imagines , or afreets " te imagine , 5 th 3 t having established one set of allottees , he can go into the market and mortgage their'land ' and tbeir * labour' to raise money to establish another . - _ -., A more vain expectation was probably never indulged in . Does he suppose that persons who have money to lend , will overlook the fact that a rent of £ ' o per acre can never be permanently paid ! Will they forget that , in-« t „ -d of constantly im _ rovin _ _- . their security must be
regularly decreasing m value , year _Dyyear , i _. um m _. u oj terioration ofthe numerous cottage-, in respect of which these high rents are—promised t Indeed , instead ofthe property becoming mere T . nluable as a security , when parceUed out by the Laud Company , it would not be worth so much in ths money market as in its original state . Ask the mortgagees of Irish estates what they think of such securities , and a tolerably correct notion may be gained ofthe utter absurdity of the attempt to borrow aud buy , and borrow aBd bay again . Why , this is what the Duke of Buckingham has been _doinir through life , and we see to what end that unthrifty process has brought his grace . Why should Mr O'Connor ' s Land Company—that is , Mr O'Connor himself-follow the ---- - -rmrer _. _stiri f . _irp hptter _?
But , referring lo the ru . es 01 tne J-ana oompany , puulished' at the office of the National Land Company , ' we find that among tne' means' of aceomplisDinE the objects of the scheme arc a ' bank of deposit , ' and' a bank of re . demption . ' The purpose of the former is thus stated - . — ' That a bank of deposit sball be established , through the mediu n of which the money expended in thepnrehase of land , and the erection of t-. uildingB , < _* _ e ., -hall be reproduced , the property ofthe Company being security for aU the -ash _deposited in such bank . That the depositors tfcall receive _three-and-a-half per cent , upon their deposits , and that the interest of rent charge psvabtG to the Company by the allottees be available ler that pur . pose . The money thus advanced upon the Company ' s property to be invested in the parchase of other lands , erection of other houses , A-c , upon which in the like manner money shaU be _raise-J . " Was there ever such a wild -ch-rae t V . 'h y , this is not a bank of deposit at all ; it is asking the working » en to subscribe to a mortgage debt . Talk of t _' _-. e property ofthe Company being security ior the " cash" _depasited . There will be no cash ; it ;„ * n , Vlr-nll loir . t \\\ T . 1 * 1 . _HTtfV
Imagine the grim and astonished looK witu _vrn-. cn tue bank manager would receive a depositor desiring to withdraw his deposit . 'Oliver Twig : asking for more would be nothing te it . 'Deposit , Sir ! ' would the manager say , ' your deposit is invested m l » . nd and labour" at ' O'Connorville , or ¦ _Feargt-stowo , ' or 6 ome other Milesian paradise of rack-rented allottees . We know of but one parallel instance of this , that which is recorded in the report ofthe case ol 'Colt .. Woollastoa , ' well known te equity lawyers , where a shareholder in the 'Land Security and Oil Patent Company' sued the projectors for tha money he had inrested , and recovered it . The projectors proposed to extract ' oil out of radishes . * and professed to give as 'land security' property which cost £ -S , OeO , and remained charged with all the purchase money , and £ . 7 _, c _. o true . Hoe
Now , I have no objection whatever to tnis fair and honest mode of dealing with the question , and I direct your attention to this one pithy sentence . — "Let us ask any hard-headed working man , how all the 49 , 700 members are to be provided with allotments , when all the capital of the Company is required to provide allotments for three hundred ?" Now , in reply , let US ask any soft-headed printer ' s devil , how a hundred thousand pounds , the amount which the Daily News has cost to establish it , can be returned to the projectors ? And from the above you learn , that when the subscriptions of the members are once expended upon the location of 300 , that the whole amount expended becomes a dead letter and will not reproduce anything—not even rent , which , at five per c ent , upon the outlay , woald be over . _* . _Cinnl . a year .
Now , let me ask , are the tunas paying inree and a half per cent ., or railways which presently will pay little or nothing , or other bubble speculations , a safer investment than land , and does our contemporary believe that an y abuse heaped upon the plan will prevent the holders of money from investing their funds in the best security ? I have been busy this _week-as I generally am-or Ishould have gone deeper into the subject , which , however , shall be continued until all understand its value ; and if all the members are of my mind , they will not allow themselves to be bullied by the Goyernment , their officials , or their bludgeon men This is my question-this is my solution of the Labour problem-and as long as I haw your confidence I am determined to sustain my Lund against all and every odtU . in the . _promukation and realisation of the objects of this Plan : upon that confidence only can it triumph , while my character I will defend mysef as I I'L td v » nitv to believe upon it will depend
your confidence . .. _ Your faithful Friend and Bailiff , Feargus O'Connor

_U M Is Uhakt-S-S. Brothers,—As One Of T...
__ u m is _UHAKT-S-S . Brothers , —As one of those who have beenthought worthy to suffer in a great and holy cause , I am desirous of seizing the last opportunity of addressing you before my trial . I am aware that the eyes of our opponents are ever watchful , but this shall not < eter me from expressing , without reserve , the sentiments I always held , still hold , and never will abandoa . The aristocracy of money and land are now engaged in their last _^ struggle against the middle and working classes ; the capitalist and land-owner against the shopkeeper , farmer , and working man . The middle class are lending themselves blindly , as instruments to government , in crushing us ; as blindly as the rural communes marched on Paris to assist the Republican Despots against the _Republican Dpmnnrats
But the time is rapidly , very rapidly approaching , when the democracy of the middle class will join the working classes , and that very middle class will imbue the Chartists with the spirit of republi canism . The time is rapidly , very rapidly approaching , when the victors of to-day will be the vanquished of to-morrow ; and if Russell and Grey escape the transportation I promised tbem on the 4 th of June , it will only _^ be because a Chartist government is more merciful than a "Whig oligarchy . - _yr ' _- ' . . Meanwhile , Chartists , what is our duty ? It is to organise . I tell you , we are on the very verge of triumDh .
lhe government are Without funds—their expenditure is increasing—they will probably be plunged into a foreign war , and if not , _rnu . t , at least , prepare to meet it . The middle class mistrust themtbe working class despise them—and the Whigs and their aristocratic opponents are putting the climax on their own ruin , by deliberately disgracing themselves in the House of Commons—giving each other the lie , and charging each other with palpable dishonesty . And have you not read how the harvest grows in Ireland ? Do you not hear how the husbandmen are sharpening their scythes . '—how America threatens across the Atlantic—how it says , Ireland must be free , and mutters something about Canada and the i „ . i ;„ - 3
Do you reflect , that tho Dictators of France must now seek foreign war , to divert the French mind from domestic retribution ; and have you considered that no war woHld be so " popular as one with England ? What , then , is the moral of all this ? That the day of the people has arrived ; that aristocracy has brought a mi ghty empire to the brink of mini and that democracy must raise it up again ; that Britain cannot be saved without the Charter—for , without the Charter , the Chartists will not fi ght for their country . In other words , we are the motive power of the pelitical machine ; and , if we make our power tell , we can dictate our own terms , and force every other class to tbe recognition of our sovereign _ric-hts .
To effect this , let us perfect our organisation . You have a plan for that purpose laid before you , which is as near perfection as pos . gible . If you carry it out , you are invincible . Do not let any local interest , or party feeling , induce you to swerve frora its details . Once organisedfully organised—according to that plan , you can step forward in the political arena , and command all classes . Let me implore you—most earnestly implore you—to carry out that plan of organisation tothe letter . Remember , it commits you to nothing ; it risks , it endangers nothing , and may win—the Charter ! But , above all , hasten its completion ! [ The entire Chartist body may be fully organised by THE AUTUMN— do not delay beyond that time 11
Dur ing the same penod , endeavour to spread the movement . Let every district-council take a note of alL _ plkce _ _oi--t- _^ . j----i-ct-tbat _^ do not contain a Cbartist locality . Let thera send missionaries to inquire into the local circumstances ; hire a room , hold a lecture , and use every means to establish a branch . If but one man is converted , the seed is sown—he will bring others . How was Christianity and all its sects , how were Emancipation , Teetotalism , Freetrade , propagated ? B y missionaries—b y its propaganda : whereas Chartism has proselytised less than any other great principle or dogma in the world . We have not of late years taken much pains to make converts ; lectures have been given—but mostly in obscure places and to the same audiences . Send missionaries to thp politic-dry fallow districtsnarticularly to the agricultural ones : —( It was the
_ignorant agricultural population that ruined the movement in France ;) let them tell the hungry how they are to get bread ; the shopkeeper how he is to get profits ; the taxpayer how he is to get cheap government ; let them show how the Charter will inevitably produce these results , and , my word for it , they will soon have proselytes enough . But let them beware of talking about merely abstract political questions . Few minds are elevated enough to struggle for a thing , merely because it is right . Let them show what the Charter WILL DO—and the Charter will be won . Above all , let them tarn their attention to the trades ; these men are the pith of the working classes ; they are already directing their attention to politics ; show them how the Charter will produce home trade , ( as it inevitably must , wellannliedl—and then thev are ours .
Our opponents will doubtlessly make a handle ot the anarchy now reigning in France . The Times stigmatises the ' insurgents , ' and holds up the fearful struggle in Paris as a warning . It is a warning _, but not against democracy ! It is a warning not to let yourselves be nursed by half measures . It is a warning — against the political tinkering of Hume and Co . It is a warning —• tbat none but the la _b ourer can legislate for labour . The French people elected only about forty working-men out of about 900 representatives , and you see the result ; Labour uncared for —labour starving—prejudice legislating for that of whieh it is ionorant .
The British people would not have acteu tnus . The British people are sound _political economist s and social Reformers . They Beek power only as a means to an end . They know how to apply it to obtain that end . They have sound political measures ready to carry into effect , when the Charter gives them the power ; therefore revolution has no terror here , and life and property will be secure . Not so in France _; the government there should have raised a compulsory loan at fair interest from all the French capitalists ; have immediately formed vast provision-stores -f & _roughout the country ; have _HisDersed the population instead of concentrating it ;
have divided all the waste lands among tne peop -, and instead of turning the destitute into ' guards , haee turned them into labourers , preparing their allotments and their cottages for the poor . Thus they would have been placed at useful labour , their wages and food would have been secured until the people's farms grew reproductive , and anarchy , discontent , and bloodshed would have been vrevented _. There will be more strugg les yet in France ; the last was a holy one , and , if anything was needed to Justify it in the eyes of the world , it is the fact , tbat Cavaignac—the mili tary dictator—is now .--. fi ™ _* . ; th Thiers to form a Cabinet !
The 27 m--is also using the late events in . auto increase the fear of that bugbear , a standing army . when it says , Paris bas proved that a populace ever vainly endeavours to resist a military 0 " es the Times suppose that it was the regular _armv that triumphed in Paris , or the Na . ona , Guard ? Thc regular army was bealen-the * - _rection spread in its face , as facts wcontes tiW . „ " t , 1 _Vtinnal Guard were afraid to
comeout , and scarcely acted till the las day , when insurgents had been defeated , as M Ducoux _taicd _n the National Assembly . The Garde Mob - working men tliemselves-and the rural populatum . suppressed the insurrection . The rural guards the _inhalants ofthe surrounding country , ignorant of the true nature of the contest , misled by _thegove nment into . he belief that foreign or pretendm intrigues caused the outbreak , crushed one of the most w ,. in _. ffnrts ever made by the working clas . es for
_^ n _^ _Xr _^^ f « s _^ f _tJ x > r _» n , h _oiiestion alone , but a universal one , and our

opponents will endeavour to stigmatise our cause , by calumniating its advocates in France . Let it also be remembered that the ' insurgents' fought with fair and honourable weapons , while the ruthless government burrowed like moles in the dark , undermined whole streets , and suddenly blew up the houses , erowded as they were to the roof with their gallant defenders , while showers of bombs and shells rained from above ! Be it also remembered , that they deliberately shot women—ay ! as the papets of the 2 Sth of June state , a strong body of National Guards
when attacking a barricade defended by two young women and a boy , deliberately shot the ivomen , and not till then ventured to scale the barricade . . And be it also remembered , that _Larochejacquelein aceused the Assembly of aetinir on the principle of ' Woe to the vanquished ! ' Well might he do so when that horde of assassins , after the insurrection was put down , and the people were escaping into the country , sent cavalry and flying artillery after them to exterminate their bleeding wreck ! Woe to the vanouishfid !
Chartists ! either the Times calumniates the class of which it is the organ , or we may expect the same relentless spirit here . [ Prepare !] Read the leading article in the Times of June 6 th , where it is stated : — ' The moment has not yet arrived , we repeat it , for . such a course : but if it does come , tho gangs of ruffiaM who _^ are now engaged in a systematic violation of public order will have nothing to hope , and everything to fear , from the exasperation of the military and police , backed as they will be b y thousands and tens of thousands of tbe inhabitants of the metropolis , who are only anxious to obtain the leave of the authorities to suppress these disorders in fhe course ofa single afternoon . ' [ What ! a Parisian butchery ! Thank you for the hint ! Forewarned is forearmed—then , working men . PREPARE _H
It may be said 1 act unwisely in letting _th-s letter be published before my trial ; but I go to that trial not to deny a sentiment or conceal a feeling . I have defied class-government on the platform—I now defy it in the Criminal Courts of Law ; I never joined the movement without foreseeing the consequences , and I am not the man to shrink from the result . I ara tlieir enemy—they have got me in their power—let them keep me so [ as long as they can . ' ] Rut it is of little consequence to the movement
what the government do with their prisoners . The Premier thinks to crush the movement by taking some of its active advocates . He makes a grand mistake . be thinks the leader ? have created the movement—No ! it is the movement that has put forth the leaders ! Let him think of Mitchel ; he took one raan—and three men are already in the field to take his place ; and here , in England , he will not lack imitators as he has found admirers . The sentence of their juries is the muster-call of democracy—and the prisoners in Newgate raise nhalanxes beyond its walls .
Having neither spoken nor intended anything DUt what is strictly in accordance with morality and law , it may be asked , 'Why should I expect conviction ? ' Let the Times of June 6 th answer , where it _gayS ;_ There can be no difficulty in obtaining a verdict from a jury of London merchants and tradesmen . ' Again , my case in pre judged—has not the Times m " E . reported ~ n _ y speech ( as proved by the correct report ofthe government reporter)—haa it cot miBquoted passages from speeches , held months back ?—has it not withheld tbeconteston which tbe meaning hinges ?—and haB not the Manchester Guardian , whon mv wife accoraDanied me to the north on
occasion of my late viBit _, tried to asperse my character with an infernal calumny ? [ Anf . what does tbis import ? that fear , prejudice , and _falaehofld will sit in the jury _. box on Monday next —and that I shall have the gratifying spectacle of hearine ajury pronounce condemnation ob its own c ' a 3 _s . and a _clasB-made judge ratify the sentence . ] [ If , therefore , I am convi -ted , Ishall go to my pri-_ on frith a proud heart , and with tho belief that I nhall not be there long , for it will not ba long before we have the Charter—at least , if there are mkn in England . If otherwise , I may aa well be in their gaols as not , for all England ia bu . a prison for the necol ' . 1
Meanwhile , let me exhort you , it you really wish to have the Charter , not to relax in your agitation . The great fault in the movement appear , to tne always to have been , that it has been worked up to a certain point , till the government , desperate through fear , attacked a few publio meetings , broke a few heads , and _imprisaned a few leader ., and then the people grew disheartened , at the very moment when they Bhould have redoubled their exertions . Just at the crisis when the _government are exhausted—the people draw back . Look through the history of your movement , and > ou will see the same lamentable , - -, f-fnatinn constantly recurrine . Look at your
position now , and tell me whether you will again ne guilty of the same fault ? Hear Lord John a few weeks ba k , opposing a repeal of the rate-paying clauses , and n w about bringing it forward himself ! Hear _Lird John a few weeks back , laughing at the Chartists—hear hiro B 6 w confessing that the Chartists are stronger than the middle-class ! [ See _hina _transporting a Mitchel , and not daring to touch bis _succe-sor !] See his cabinet forbidding publio meetings , and now trying to throw the blame on the police ! See a ministry that _eits ita own words , and is dying ofa surfeit . I ask you , then , is this a time i _ , . _nlnv *?
In your agitation maintain peace , law , and order , respect life and property , but do not—oh ! do not be political cowards There is a vast difference between courage and violenoe . A truly brave people are never _themselves disorderly , and have sufficient energy to prevent disorder in others . Stand by the right of publio meoting in the open-air —( maintained ever since the witenagemot of the ancient Saxons)—but impress , above all things , a respeot for life and property . Let the shopkeeper feel he need not close bis shutters when the Chartists pass , and he will not cloae his heart against the Charter . He knows that the ChartisU do not oomnit an outrage—but let him _rilso know that the Chartists oan punish thoso who begin a riot . Teach him that you are not for a 'division of property ; ' that itis no . a war of the poor againBt the rich , but of the people _aeninst _claaB-KOTernment .
In conclusion , let me than * , all tnoae menus ior their kindness who have exerted themselves in my behalf , The Executive have been indefatigable in their efforts for my fellow-prisoners and my _. elf ; nor can I sufficiently express my sense of the kindness and promptitude of the Defence Committee—or of the true-hearted Chartists who havo subscribed so hberallj to tha defence fnnd . My thanks are also especially and personally due to those kind friends from Halifax and Keighley , who came up from _Yorkihire to bail me , when they found what a mookery the right of bail was in the hands of the governmentaad to _Messrs Sewell and Ford , my bail , the latter of whom was subiected to the most annoying and m-
aul'ing sorutiny , To fcfiose gentlemen wno were rajeoted on frivolous _pretenos ., I am equally grateful . I now bid you farewell for a time , for shouldl be convicted—though I sball receive no tidings from withont —I shall hold the firm belief that thc cause is prospering- I _shsll awnit the great Lour of a Nation ' s liberation in cala _. hope—and as 1 never joined the movement with an interested motive , —as I havo never gained in its advocacy anything but the reward ol ro y own conscience—I now neither _rugvet ner retract a _' sentiment I have uttered , nor a step I have taken . I _' defy olaB 3-government to do its worst , —I prediot its speedy downfall and the people ' s triumph , and the laBt words on my lips now , as the first when 1 ;„ . na ( mm mv call , phall be :

Address Of Tiie Executive To The People....
ADDRESS OF TIIE EXECUTIVE TO THE PEOPLE . Fellow Countrtmen , We are the Executive body of your choice and election , and are your servants , and our success rests , not with us as the elected ot the people , but in reality with the support and efficient unison of thought and aetion that pervades the entire body . . Pledging _onraerfea to ba . faithful to onr trust , we feel ii necessary to assure you that candid and plain speaking , open and straightforward acting , shall ever be the _leading feature in all onr _relatioas with you , and all we may do in your behalf .
London is the seat of _givernmcct , of wealth , and of influence , and we are convinced that no agitation for Chartism can be complete until nil the available power within the metropolis , constitutionally at our command , is brought to bear efficiently in support of the people and the people ' s cause . Therefore it is that we are at present directing our attention to the events ofthe great emporium of wealth , and luxury , trade , commerce , aad legislation ; Bincerely resolved that it Bball also become the emporium of Chartism , and the great centre of social and political knowledge . The trades , a numerous and influential auxiliary in the cause of political and _Bocial emancipation , are every day approaching nearer to ub _^—not alone by an acknowledgement of principles , but also by a practical organisation , aiming at the full enfranchisement of mind and the true eeourity cf all the members of fhrt * -- \* wi » v _»/\* _"i err a a I (¦ r .
It is with regret that we are obliged to inform you , that we have not of late received at your hands the encouragement or pecuniary support re qaisite for our sustenance snd utility as a public body , -baring heavy personal responsibilities , and entrusted , in a great degree , with the management of the _people ' s politioal interests and future destinies . We know you to be generous and patriotic , acd hope that our call for funds and sympathy will be responded to by you without delay . By such a response , we are willing to teat your confidence in us as a public body ; and whilst we will ever take our share of danger or trouble without a murmur ,
we at once boldly and trankly a _. sure you , tbat we will return to yonr ranks as private members , rather than be crippled in our designs , or rendered abortive in action , by the want of the necessary em-port . We are for the people , and , tobe _socce'sful , the people must ba for us . We hare , in pre . vious addresses , pointed out to you the means to be adopted in the collecting of the Liberty Fund ; and have no doubt that those of you , who have not seriously thought of the urgency of oor circumstances , will do si now , without further delay , remembering that good works are the effect of a sound belief nnd the surest test of a sincere conviction .
It is impossible to loofc at society , as now _existing , without being impressed with serious thoughts on the future prospects of the British empire . Internally there are evident signs of dissolution and destruction to existing interests . Our workmen are idle , our shopkeepers bordering on bankruptcy—eur commercial and monied _classeBlook round them with doubt and dismay . The disturbed state of the continent prevents even a temporary improvement in our foreign trade , and inoreaaed pauperism at home is a sure index of a long continuance af the depression of our home manufactures . England ' s statesmen are wedded , as if by fatality , to theories and interests that prevent them coming to your aid . It is melancholy to read the nightly disputes and wranglings within the House of Commoni ; but even these are ominous oftho future ; they show , in a manner not to be misunderstood , tbat the difficulties of the Minister of the day rapidly increase , and a
change of ministers cannot avert tha evil , or _shnn the day of trial , and the hour of difficulty . A correction , an improvement , or it may be , an entire reconstruction ofa iciety , is clearly inevitable . It is , therefore , the more imperative that you shall be represented in the councils of tbe state , and your interests cared for in the future legislation of this country . Men of all classes ara moving towards vou ; and it is pleasant to know , that as old prejudices are dispelled , and the incongruities of class _le-Rislation and past errors are no longer manageable , the mind of the people has an evident tendency towards true principles ; there is , lathe thought of the nation , a distinct polarity , from which must spring a new era of Bocial and political salvation , not based on the ignorant assumption of privileged orders , or class , party , or sectarian interests ; but on the broad and extended basis of man ' s rights , Ami * waa nn /) _intoWX-. 'Jt .
It is the evident intention ot tne _ruiera oi tne aay ti ruin the people ' s _cbubo , by the old Whig dodge of legal expenses ; and there is a cruel feeling of revenge and rapacity manifested in the state prosecutions now going on . The government is weak and desperate , they never again can command tbe respect or support of any important section of tbe community ; their weakness will become your strength , and their imbecility your source of power and final _wimorv nrnvided vou be true to yourselves .

Dim—Nothing fens h _& n , more gratifying ts me than your late onslaught on the i > aso , brutal , and lying press of this country . The words I hay » quoted above 1 _readwith sorrow , because ofthe eon _« junction and _similarity of sentiments in the , two pnb _» _lioa-ionfl-rbot-linow _^ _-tr-ugnling in ' _tj _&\ _$$ i j _^ _$£ to _kesp the peopio : ia social and _political _S-hd- _^ e _.. The Times bafc always been notorious : aa _amestoei _* . nary slave , and as soon , _to-br ' _nta ) and _blco d-thiraS _^ as it is vile ; But the _r-toeancy of ray orite gt _^ rt fafourite , PraoH * conveyed pain to my feelings , MM shame to ay bosom , for accursed must that country be when the most talented and patriotic writers are found to have their price . Seven years havo elapsed since tre birth of Pcncb « From the Eatural soberness of the English mind , the incessant
pursuit after only that which could lead to wealth , whereby to satisfy the cravings of a cormo _. rant government—ano education making virtue despised and Mammon loved—it was thought a work of jokes and puns—unsuitable not impossible to succeed . But the excellence ef point—the _seriousneaa of motive—the patriotism of the undercurrent , nobly expressed in its _puges , soon made Punch hailed as a benefactor in the struggle ot progreB 3 . The writers were well Baited to the duty . They ba _* l emerged from a school of adver « sity—they had felt the pains and penalties of poverfcy—they had suffered from the injustice of the social institutions—and they entered , heart and soul , into the _icrvioe of their depressed fellow countryman . Great public approbation led to great success , and its consequent reward wan fully reaped With this amplitude of means , a obange oame over the spirit of the writers . Punch grew mighty genteel . He loved to talk of wines , and manners and customs of aristocratic life , as if familiar to himselfand sneer at those who could not
, obtain them . Genteel ' philanthropy—narrow , crippled , and charitable— -respectable reform—delusive , class , and unprincipled—became the theme of its weekly _croakings , and , consequently , abuse of the people . Then Punch became a favourite of the Timbb and , more especially latterly , has truly acted the part of buffoon at the bully ' s court . With his loss of princi ple , has departed his originality > and now he is but a poor player upon and adapter of others' ideas , dressed in motley , to bring in the pence . The Timbs is his text-book , and the people his demons to bu cursed . Baseness stops not at the mere _grati-toafion of its evil actions , it _r-oeks for extraordinary reward , and grovels in the filthiest mire to clutch the prize of its degradation . Thus , then , no 6 _urDrJu 6 is exeitid on learning that one of
the editors of Punch has received from government a _commisaionership . At what price ? The fixing another rivet , where a keen file was promised , in the people ' s political chains ; for stretching forth another hand to pour upon the impoverished ma _ a _28 _revilinpsjarringB , mockery , inBult , and Vies . A second editor has taken the preparatory step ( to a Bop in the sweat of the people ' s labour , by entering the law . Another _commissionerfihip may be the reward of further ridicule on your bold , holy , and fervid demands to be socially and politically rqual with your _feJlew-countrymen . I have often thought the sporting with great and serious questions led to a orostitut'on _, and insincerity of mind—a total want of feeling , ot heart , and love of m _. Bkind and country , The problem is solved , and in Borrow do I aan tha r _. flult
The once patriotic _Examiner deals o . t trom tne cauldron of infamy its tribute of falsification , cruelty , aod _soorn , on th . people : but why ? Because its serfdom must pay such service for the commisaionership of its proprietor . The Chronicle , too , _hai received its retaining fee to _bepraise the ministry , and befoul the people . Thi 3 then shows why the people of England are misrepresented—why their woes are scoffed at—why tbeir aspirations are smothered in ruffianism—why the honest millions are told they ara not the peoplewby the plunderers are kept in countenance , and why tbe aristocratio _T'limage is held up to admiration , while the dvine bird is foreottec
The Northkkn St _ r -lone speaks truth ; it is tue doomsday hook of tbe people ' s oppressions and oppressors . Knowing then its value and importance , let us appreciate it _accordingly—in the pre . ent _struggl . it is inestimable . I am , sir , yours inc ., Kr _; w » nn _FiTZORRALD .
