M _$ he intention ofthe intriguers was to upset _llfhe Republic .

I believe , I have not addressed you on || ji _* ench aflaira since the Presidential election . || J 3 oine two months have elapged since I drew _£ fhe character of Mister Prince Louis _Naposl / _XEOS . Subsequent events have felled to prol _^ d uce a change in my views with regard to S _" : _«« _that . _inriivifliin _- ! " fli . + > . _« _onn _-mn , ™ . _~ .
„ 1 ll _? ° _^ _** " _* * sera ' le pr etender , since he aa-¦ _^ Burned the office of President , has served to "Uf satisfy me of his utter incapacity , both in Pi heart and head , to fulfil the duties of the - _^ mi ssion which might have been his had he | J'possessed any of the requisites for so glo-If _^ _rious a task . But , Lows Napoleon is but _Hgc ihe counterfeit of a great man—a Brumma-J |! gem _Buoxapahte . The real metal , weighed | # : in the scales of _Jtjsticb , was of no great worth ; the brazen baseness of this imitation 5 | f . is too transparent to need any such test . _j |; ? Besides , it would he madness to expect any | P other than base coinage in the hands of such f |! notorious ( political ) " smashers" as Odillon gi- Barrot and his comrogaes .
fg That any one should imagine thc _possi-| fr bilitr of a Prince being an honest man , _pasges H- my comprehension . Certainly , I have read If in story-books of such characters—hut , I bell lieve in them juat as much as I do the atones _[ f of fiery dragons , enchanted ladies , and giantjj | slaying knights . Could-we come at tho seg cret thoughts of Prince 3 , we should find them I agreed , at least , upon one point—the folly of I honesty ! £ " _Honestv _' _s a ragged virtue ! I I'll have none on't , "is the secret language of them all .
I Within twenty-lour hours of his elevation to I the Presidency , Louis Napoleon went far to [ realise the worst anticipations of _hisopponents , I dj calling to his councils the sworn enemies of ? the Republic—a mixture of Orleanists and v . Legitimists . The command of the army of [ Paris and the National Guard was given to \ - General Changarnier , a traculentLegitimist ; _f that of the army ofthe Alps was conferred on I the brigand-butcher , Bugeaud . The Republicau Prelects and sub-Prefects were displaced , and Royalists appointed in their stead . The if popular club 3 have been persecuted with re-? _lentless vigour , and at last a decree has been proposed to suppress them . X But it has been said there has been an
amnesty . A mistake that . There has been nothing * of the sort . A few women have been set at liberty , and some of the poor fellows who had been sentenced to transportation . But this gaol delivery of a few is a miserable substitute tor the looked-for amnesty . Again , he it remembered , that perhaps as many—perhaps more—victims have been sent to prison than have been set at liberty by this philanthropic President . Only on Monday last sixty of the best patriots in Paris were in ne bateh Hauled away to prison by police ruffians , acting in the name of this precious President .
A curious straggle has been going on for gome time past between-the Ministry andthe Assembly . Bad as the present Assembly is , I am sorry to say that there is a prospect that tlie licit will l > e even worse . Should a general election take place under present circumstances , the eternal enemies of Justice are likely to have things all their own way . Tlieir wealth enahles them to command the Priesthood , the Press , and the Stagethree all-potent powers . The priest preaches , the journalist publishes , the actor rants , ( and they all lie , ) that the Republic is the cause of the social hardships of the people ; and that the veritable Republicans are monsters and enemies of society .
On the other hand , ihe real llepubhcans have no adequate strength to oppose to this formidable conspiracy . In the first place they are honest men—what need to add that they aro poor ? Their ranks comprise a few " men of money , " but how few I need not state . You know that it is almost " easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle , " than for a rich man to love Justice for its own sake . The Democratic Press is a pre-eminent and glorious characteristic of France compared with other nations ; yet , after all how few are the journals devoted to the cause of the many compared with tho subsidized organs of privilege and class-ascendancy . The Democrats may be said to have no influence in the ranks of th _« Priesthood . An honest Priest is
as great a phenomenon as an honest Prince I Lamennais—the pure-hearted , holy Lamne"Kais—is a standing miracle . But Ae long ago cast away the craft of his order . As to the Stage , theatres are supported principally hy the idlers and plunderers of society ; and the wretched actor—like those literary pimps who iave made the Newspaper Press the greatest curse of tliis age—the poor actor mnst do as his patrons desire . Woe to him should he devote his talents to the servicce of Justice . Let him degrade Labour , scoff at Truth , and blaspheme Liberty , and he shall _vrva " golden © pinions , " from those who rule this world hy
Gold . This world is governed hy Gold , Fraud , and Force hut , like another " trinity , " the three are resolveable into one—for Gold can ever command Force and Fraud ! In consideringthe strength ofthe two parties , it shonld not he forgotten that the Royalists are the masters of the Republic ; whilst the Republicans are proscribed , their chiefs in dungeons , and every active man amongst ihemif not actually under arrest , at least under the surveillance of the police . The odds are fearfully against the men by whose blood and patriotism the Republic was called into existence !
The Royalists desire the immediate _qisboiution of the Assembly . The Republicans , oa the contrary , wish to prolong the sittings thereof until the organic laws have fceen voted . The reason for this division is obvious . On the nature of the organic laws ¦ w ill depend the real character of the Republic The Constitution is little mors than a declaration of principles ; the organic laws will
reduce those principles to practice . You will understand that , in practice , the principles may he burked in all hut name . The recent history of our own country affords an illustration of my meaning . In 1831 , the Whigs declared in favour of the " fell , fair , and free representation of the people in Parliament " That was the declaration of a principle . So fer , Earl _Gkey and Hekry Hunt were
agreed . But the Whigs proposed an organic law "—the "Reform Bill . " That law constituted the Suffrage a monopoly—tho pri-Tilege of certain classes to the exclusion of the f aass of the people . Henrt Hu > "T demanded universal Sunrage , but the people had not the sense to hack him . The Reform Bill xras P _& _ssed , and that " organic law" made an _actual mockery of the vaunted principle of " full , _«« r , and free representation . " -a- Fiance the Republicans desire a veritable

Republic , therefore they are anxious that the Assembly should not dissolve until the organic laws have been adopted . The intriguers , on the contrary , desire only a sham Republic , preparatory to the restoration of Monarch y , and , therefore , they wish to have the organic laws voted by the next Assembly , calculating that by the help of calumny , corruption , and terror , they will he able to procure the election of a Chamber fitted to carry out their infamous designs .
In pursuit of this object a petition-agitation was recently commenced and is still being carried on—the petitions demanding the immediate dissolution of the Assembly . These petitions are manufactured by the bourgeoisie , who exhibit , in every form of expression , their anxiety to get rid of the present Assembly . Several _^ motions , tending towards the earlv dissolution of that body , have been mado by certain of its members — tools ofthe reactionnaires . Last Thursday , a Committee appointed to report on one of those motions delivered its report against the proposition . Monday last was fixed for the discussion ofthe Committee ' s report , and the day was looked forward to with anxiety , by both the friends and foes ofthe Republic .
Other circumstances conspired to increase tha popular excitement . The law students had refused to listen to the lectures ofa certain L' Hermixere , professor of legislation in the College of France , his lectures being Anti-Republican and Pro-Absolutist . The students hooted the professor , and chaunted the Marseillaise . Thereupon the Government of President Louis Napoleon interfered with an armed force . Up to this moment , the precious professor is maintained in his place by bayonets ! How long that kind of support may avail him is another matter .
On Friday last , the Minister ofthe Interior , Leon Faucher , announced that ie had been directed by the President to present a project of decree for the suppression of the clubs . That the full iniquity of this atrocious measure may be understood , I reprint the first article of the decree , contrasting therewith the right of association as proclaimed in the constitution : ART . 8 OF THK _COXSTIIIf- BILL _PRBSKHTED BT Sf .
TIO * f . MON _"fAUCHEB . Citizens have a right Club 3 are prohibited to meet together , to as- "Will be considered as semble peaceably , and Buch every public mootwithout arms , to petition , ing which snail be held to manifest their opinions periodically , or at irreguby the Press or other- lar intervals , for the diswise ; the exercise of cussion of political _questhese rights has only for tions . limit the rights or liberty of others , and public secur ity .
This abominahle . ukase would not merel y dissolve the clubs , it would render banquets and every kind of public meeting for the discussion of political questions impossible . Offenders are "to be punishable with deprivation of civil rights for a period of from one to three years , and a fine of frora 100 francs to 500 francs ; " independent of other penalties . " Persons lending their houses or apartments for such meetings to he subjected to the same fine !
Because Guizot forbade a solitary banquet , Odillon Barrot and his gang of Whigs Drought about a revolution . How this political swindler out-Guizots Guizot . If King Louis Philippe deserved to lose his throne for preventing one meeting , what does President Louis Napoleon deserve for directing Ms minister to propose a decree for the prevention of all meetings for the future ? It is notorious that the Royalists meet in clubs . They meet openly and avowedly . Will the decree be applied to them ? Certainly not _. In the Republic , as under the Monarchy , there must he " one law for the rich , and another for the poor . "
_Leox Faucher is a greatFree Trader—the _Cobdex of France . Judge ye , brother Proletarians , what you might expect from the " model agitator , " were he lord of tho ascendant Tou will do well not to trust much in Cobden and his party . You will do well not to forget his employment of Irish ruffians to bludgeon the Manchester Chartists . You "ivill do _-v-rell to remember Colonel Thom son ' s advice to the middle classes , to form themselves
into armed hands , to keep down your order hy physical force . You will do well to remember the speech of Dr . Epps , in which he advised " small doses " of grape shot as a remedy for mob distempers ! You will , above all , do well to look to yourselves for your own emancipation , unless , indeed , you mean to play the partof "Dupe" in theold farce newly revived" Open your mouth and shut your eyes , and see what the League will give you . "
To return to the French question . Another cause of popular excitement was supplied by the decree for reducing and reorganising the Garde Mobile . That corps is said to have threatened revolt . A number of officers of that force have been placed under arrest . It would seem that " poetical justice " is about to overtake both the Assembly and the Garde Mobile . The one conspired and the other fought for the bourgeoisie , and against the proletarians . _Now the bourgeoisie desire to destroy both . Neither are entitled to the sympathy of honest men .
Still , though ill-deserving popular support , the masses would have defended the Assembly had it dared to defend itself . Since the days of June there has been no sueh excitement in Paris as was exhibited on Monday . Doubtless a plot existed on the part of the Ministry to dissolve the Assembly hy force , but there was no need to attempt what might have been a dangerous experiment—the Assembly betrayed itself . The members voted hy a majority of 41 G to 405 , that the proposition to dissolve the Assembly on the 19 th of March should be read a second timo .
Notwithstanding that one Committee has reported against the " urgency" ofthe proposed decree against the clubs , it is probable that the decree , perhaps somewhat modified , will be adopted . Hundreds of patriots are being swept into prison . It is desired to have all the Republican chiefs in prison at the time of the general election . Order rei g ns in Paris ! but for how lonrr ?
Let the Royalists do their worst , their triumph will be short-lived . Let them put down public meetings and they will then have to contend against still more formidable bodies . Let them tetter or suppress the democratic journals , the truth will nevertheless he published in spite of them . Let them cram their dungeons with victims , those victims hare sons who will avenge their fathers' wrongs . The triumph of justice may he postponed , hut the struggle wil be continued until that triumph is accomplished , _„ _L'Ami du Peuple . February 1 st , 1849 .

Thb Mormon Imposture n _» Y _^ _ZltSu cemberthe 31 » t and New _YearVday , the ' Latterday Saints'held their half-yearly association in the Hall of the White Lion , Merthyr . It was soon found that the ball , then containing 1 , 500 persons , was inadequate for many who were outside seeking admittance ; officers were therefore sent to meet th-rse who were not able to get » at the Alfreds _Armg-hall , George Town . Tbe platform contained from sixty to 100 officers . ' The chair was taken by Captain D . Jones , when the following particulars relative to the society in Wales were stated : —ten conferences ; baptized during the lar . t six months , 1 . 001 ; total baptized in the year , 1 , 969 ( very few excluded ); seventy branches , 156 elders , 180 pnests , 147 teachers , sixty-seven deacons-in all , 550 officers . The Swaksba Herald , which reports the
meeting , adds : —* The thousands of Mormons in Wales appear to have great affection for , and confideuce in , Captain D . Jones , who inten-Ts returning in February to the Valley of the Salt Lake in California . About 350 Saints intend emigrating with him . It appears that 300 large ships could scarcely carry ihe hosts of Saints who are now anxiously desiring to emigrate from this iriand to , as thev say , their future home . '
Public Meetings. The People's Parliament...
PUBLIC MEETINGS . THE PEOPLE'S PARLIAMENTARY SOIREE , Convened by the Executive Committee of the _Rational Charter Association , took place at the . Literary and Scientific Listitution , John-street , r ltzroy Square , on Monday evening , January the _-Oth _, -when a very large partv sat down to a good and substantial tea , provided by Mr . Davis , purveyor tothe Institution . The tables being removed the body and galleries of the Ilall immediately became densely crowded by the vast numbers . Charles Lushington , Esq ., one of tlie members for "Westminster , entered the Hall during the tea and was loudly applauded—but left again prior to the commencement of the public meeting . Mr . P . M'Grath was callod to the chair , and called on Mr . Stallwood to read the communications from the several members of parliament invited to attend .
3 Ir . _Staliwood proceeded to read letters of apology from Joseph Huine , M . P ., George Thompson , M . P ., John Williams , M . P ., Ralph Osborne , M . P ., Thomas Wakley , M . P ., Colonel Thompson , M . P ., . Sharman Cnuvford , M . P ., and Lawrence _Heyworth , M . P . A letter was likewise read from Joseph Sturge . Air . Stallwood said Mr . O ' Connor had been called away on pressing business to the Great Dodford Estate near Bromsgrove , which prevented him from being present . He had reoeived no reply to the invitation forwarded to Mr Duncombe , which he feared was au indication that the honourable _"entleman was worse in health .
The Chairman - . This was called a Parliamentary Soiree—they had heard answers read from membors of Parliament and other gentlemen invited to attend , and as they found that some members could not , and others would not attend , why they must even go on without them , —{ loud cheers}—and when the wealthier classes see that we are competent , and determined to do our own work , thev will then vory readily lend us their assistance . _^ Cneers . ) The first sentimeiit he had to submit was : "The peoplo _, the source of all political power ; " a sentiment he hoped speedily to see acknowledged by all . ( Loud Cheers . ) Mr . Thomas _Ci-ark said : Li presenting myself to support the sentiments which have been
so eloquently proposed from the chair , I am glad to observe , that although the members of parliament who have been invited by the committee have not attended here , as it was hoped many of them would have done , that thc people themselves have not been so remiss , but have nobly answered the call . ( Hear . ) One member has been here , but for reasons best known to himself he has decamped , and it was really amusing to witness the speed at which he left this place—Mr . Lushington , the member for Westminster , is tho gentleman to whom I am alluding , and I cannot account for his hasty retreat from this Hall for any other reason than his advanced age . ( Laughter . ) Some of the gentlemen whose letters have been
read , we can well excuse for their absence , because from their general conduct wc know they are with us in principle —( hear)—but there are others whose non-appearance not only shows bad taste on their part , but also argues that they are incapablo of appreciating goodcompany —( laughter )—and aro indisposed to obtain useful information , even when offered them at a cheap rate . ( Cheers and laughter . ) I say seriously , that ifthe members to whom my remarks bear reference were hero this evening they would receive valuable instruction , — ( cheers )—because here they would learn the truth from th _« people themselves . ( Hear and cheers . ) The sentiment which I am called upon to support ia declaratory ofthe principle that the •' people" are the onl
y legitimate source ol political power . If the theory of such principles be right , all political power , not sanctioned and created by the people , must be illegitimate ; and our Parliament must be a bastard Parliament—not having been legitimately created by the people , as it ought to have been , before it proceeds to make laws on the assumption that its enactments would be binding upon the nation . I hold that the unrepresented millions of this country are under po moral obligation to observe the laws which emanate from the present House of Commons . ( Hear , hear . ) What is it that renders engagements binding ? Is it not that the parties required to observe them have , either of themselves , or by delegation been concerned in
their contraction , and arc therefore _miorally , as well as legally _. bound to regard them ? But who will say that such has been the the case as between the people , Parliament , and laws of England 1 He would , indeed , be a bold man , who—admitting th » correctness of my reasoning—would assert tliat tho six millions of unrepresented men of these islands , are morally bound to any observance of laws emanating from the present legislative body . The theory ofthe British Constitution , as expounded by Judge Blackstone is , that— " Taxation , without representation , is . tyranny , and ought to be resisted : " but I go further than his judgeship , and I assoit that—" Taxation , without representation , is robbery , and ought not to be tolerated . " ( Loud
cheers . ) What business have 658 men , meeting at a place named St . Stephen ' s , and calling themselves a " Parliament , " through the agency of their laws , to put their hands into my pockets , and abstract therefrom my private property without my consent ? ( Cheers . ) The present system of representation allows one out of seven of the male adult population to exercise the Elective Franchise ;—modestly presuming that the one man -who lias the vote possesses more wisdom and virtue than six others , who are not so favoured . But supposing each elector to be possessed of the genius ot a Sibthorp —( laughter)—then they would not have _thereto make laws forothers , without their consent . Some people object to giving power to the people , on the ground that they
would not make proper use ol it . A bishop receiving £ 7 , 000 a year , would maintain stoutly that the people ought not to be entrusted with political power , under the apprehension that if they were so , that his large salary would ho treated as a matter of past history . ( Laughter and cheers . ) Now , I confess that I entertain some of the bishop ' s opinions without being actuated hy his fears , and tlie reasons that would induce him to withhold power from the people would as strongly incline me to give it to them , for I do not think that power could be more righteously or religiously employed , than in teaching the bishops a cheaper way to salvation , —( cheers)—and I do not seo how thoy could complain , because it is
well known that they are not " wordly-nunded . " ( Laughter and cheers . ) If the people had power , does " any one suppose that they could by any chance so far forget the interests ofthe conntry and the requirements of decency , as to connive at the existence of a Whig government ? ( Laughter and cheers . ) And most sincerely am I of opinion that the advantage is not upon our side of the channel , ( Hear and cheers . ) Mr . Clark continued at some length to support the sentiment of " Tho peoplo , " ana _satdown warmly applauded . The Chairman , after a few introductory remarks , which were loudly applauded , gave thc following sentiment : — " To the emancipation of the people from political thraldom by those wise , just , and
equitable principles contained m the document known as the People ' s Charter . " ( Tremendous cheering , again and again repeated , ) Julian * Harney , who was received with loud and general applause , rose to speak to the sentiment , and said : After ten years' explanation , vindication , and agitation for the Charter , it may seem , at the first glance , a work of superfluity to say anything in defence of the principles of that measure . But , in truth , there is need of such vindication ; not , as is often falsely asserted , because the Chartists themselves have brought their principles into odium and contempt , but because the enemies of Justice have employed every vile means to blacken and distort the truths they were unable to confute , and could )
not absolutely deny . ( Hear , hear . Tlie press tooK _advantage of what was called the " violent speeches ' " delivered by the members of the Convention in the spring of last year . The said violent speeches reflected discredit , not on the speakers , nor on Chartism , but on the system of injustice which had excited those words of despair . ( Applause ) Forcible resistance to the established order of things is the last thought of Englishmen in - * eneral-when , therefore , you hear any number of _Englishmen talk of imitating other nations m attempting a short cut to Justice , you may at once and saTelv infer that those who so talk have grievous _wrono-s , and very little hope of redress through the usuaflegal and constitutional means . ( Hear , hear . ) a _~ _-:= _ffAvet-nment—aware that there cannot be
smoke without fire-an effect without a cause would have inquired into the causes of such angry demonstrations of popular feeling ; and an honest press would havo lent its wd to probe the aoi e and provide the means of cure . But a very different course was followed . Spies were sent to sit in tha iallciy to applaud and excite the most violent f p _'K ' s _, and tLse speech * , dished _« P V * J _» | _g ; porters , were duly commented on next toy , with the view to excite the terror and hatred of the _mWdElasseS , andth e work of _vengeanee on he mrtof the <* ov _<" rnment .

¦ n-.. a t .- - , _ Jany 29 , 1849 . __ _i-EAB bre , —Knowing that you aro an enemy to _opprei-9 ion , and that you Have a Strong feeling for the people of France , as weU as England & c „ and tlie sooner oppression is overthrown the sooner will freedoms Banner be found on th _» _T-hole world—it is this feeling with m » that induceth me to write , it is a Painfull thin ;* when men are compel d to invent things to Destroy each other , but when Red hot ahot was used mJune against a starving People , brought to starvation by tyrants—I consider it a duty if something can be invented to destrov Tyrants to make known as speed y as Possible to tht People of France , as they are well organised and Can Keep a Secret in the itanks of Democracy—I have Chosen Stone Brimstone , as being , very Cheap and very Powerfull—melt the Brimstone and dip a Peice of Itae or Stockine in it and Put a Little

Bore a hole that wiU answer for a Touch hole ( the BoMS are about 13 inches long with a hole 31 inches dieracter ) if you approve of this make it known to the french people—Yours Truly P . Y . M . That ( said the speaker ) looks very like a trap . ( Cheers . } But I can assure Mr . Powell and his mat
menus suen a trap will not catch me . ( Cheers . ) I shall send this letter to Sir George Grey , with an intimation that I am wide awake—first taking a copy for pub lication in the Northern Star . ( Loud cheers . ) I beg to toll the writer of this letter that the French do not require English teaching in tho art " of fighting . ( Applause . ) And , further , when they do fight , they are too bravo , too heroic , to play the part of poisoners and assassins . ( Renewed applauso . } The speaker hero referred to the _aritical stato of affairs in tho French capital , and the prospoets of tho . Republic . His remarks excited thc most enthusiastic cheering . To return to the Charter , and its enemies and calumniators . On the explosion of the Powell plot , the Times declared that , at last , tho Charter was understood . It had
been supposed to consist of six points , but , in reality , it consisted of only three—pillage , burning , and murder . Anything moro revolting than this calumny was never penned ; anything more atrocious was never published , even by tlie Times ( Loud cheers . ) But , even supposing that everything imputed to Cuffoy and his confederates by that wretched miscreant , Powell _. _'had been founded in truth , the Bins of those mon would be white as wool contrasted with the horrible crimes of such brigands as Windischgratz , who , for the last three months , has been the acknowledged hero of tho Times . Hemember Vienna in flames ! Remember the thousand * of men , women , and children , who were torn , hewed , and hacked to pieces , burnt or crushed to death , in vainly attempting to save their homes from the . ruffianism ol royalist heroes and their
sai-age followers .- The Timet advised and invoked those horrors , and when they had been _parpetrated , the butchers , burners , pillagers , and _ravishers , were hailed as heroes , and almost exalted to tho rank of demi-gods by tho writers in the Times . Yet these writers havo the _assuranco to denounce the Chartists as advocates of burning , pillage , and murder ! In the name of the Chartists , I hurl these calumnies back into tho teeth of those who invent them . ( _Gre-at cheering . ) The speaker prococded to expatiate , at some length , on the justice of the principles ofthe Charter , and the _inpistieo . of the present system , and resumed his seat amidst hoarty and prolonged applause . The Chairiiax then gave the next sentiment : — " To tho employment of tho people by well-regulated ' Home Colonies , ' and other social remedies . " ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . Kydd , on rising , was received with cheers . After condemning , in strong terms , the spy system ofthe Russell Cabinot , he said the sentiment to which ho was called upon to respond , was indicative of the age . There was in this and all other countries an increasing interest manifested in questions of social reform . This question was deeper seated than that of mere politics and parties . The colour of a ribband—the name of a coterie : —was as nothing compared with those questions that related to , and became a part of thc organic constitution of society itself . The political economists had long ruled m the Senate , and controlled in the Cabinet . As political economists , they never could remedy the ovils of English society ; they looked upon man as if he were a dead inanimate thing , unchanged and' unchangeable ; they laid down their _propositions _, and thev solved their _m-oblems with
the correctness of arithmetic . If men could bo moved like chess on a board , thc econo * mists could never err . This , most fortunately , was not the case ; man was a sentient and intelligent agency affected by every part , and related to every immediate circumstance ; and at the very time thatthe party politicians , financiers , and economists were writing pamphlets , making speeches , and each in turn fighting , or aiding to fight , the politieal game of " Ins and Outs , " the social evils increased beneath the _rery _Tvalls of the Senate House itself . Within thc past twelve months , according to the official returns of the Poor-law Guardians , one out of every three hundred ofthe metropolitan population had been reduced to pauperism , to actual want , and , therefore , forced to apply to their _parishesfor relief . This was a fearful increase of human wretchedness . —IIow manv families had been reduced from
affluence to dependence that had not yet applied for relief ?—IIow many workmen had been thrown idle by sueh reductions , and had preferred itinerant vagiancy , and unwilling vagabondism and theft , to the workhouse allowance ? Itis reported , on good authority that every seventh individual in England , is either a criminal , a pauper , a vagrant , or a prostitute ; and , in tho sacred name of humanity and civilisation , where was this system to stop ? Think of it , you puritan divines , who have preached peace when Mammon has been devouring his victims every hour—think of it , you courtly dames and noble gentlemen , whoso gilded drawing-rooms dazzle with tlie art and ingenuity of our workmen — think of it , you laughing senators , who havo raised a monster whose breath scorches and burns up the
peace of life . You miserable economists and crafty financiers , who , like Nero , played on the liddie when the Eternal City was in flames , for whom had those sacrifices been made ? Let us examine . I think we may , on a fair estimate , suppose that at least two-fourths ofthe male adult population of England , above the age ol twenty , belong to what was called the labourer , or artisan classes ; onefourth ofthe adult males belong to th * . retail shopkeepers , and small merchant classes ; those were the classes that were suffering from increased distress ; and for whose advantage , pray ? for the apparent advantage ofthe other fourth , —the merchantprinces , thc land-owners , the usurers , the bankers , and independent monopolists . Is it , I ask , to be supposed that we can continue to sacrifice the
independence ami comiort ot every tnrec mumuwus forthe purpose of aggrandising the fourth ? Must we make three houses tenantless that the fourth house shall be a mansion ? Three tables foodless , that the fourth should groan under a superabundance of luxuries ? Three human beings serfs , that the fourth shall bo a master ? I say , perish such a system—it is neither of earth nor Iloaven—it is neither divine nor human . Remember , for the apparent advantage ofthe few , and the advantage was onl y apparent , for ao false was the present theory in principle , that it caused in turn tho ruin of all ; the poor became rebellious , the ruined tradesman clamorous ; the ties that bound man to man were loosened ; the bonds of society were rent in twain ; fear followed in tho wake of despair ; and revolution
and chaos , with all their doubts and horrors , convulsions , and wrecks of life and institutions , wero their suro successors . Oh , but wo wero promised remedies ; there were Free Trade and Emigration . Free Trade meant free competition , independent of all natural or circumstantial arrangements , which simply meant that th _» labourers and artisans of every nation should toil for the advantage of the rich and titled few in every land . Internationally it meant , that if Englishmen worked harder and enjoyed fewer ofthe fruits of their own industry , their country would conquer tho world , and ruin itself . The speaker replied to the Free Traders , and advocates of emigration , at longth , and said ; I see no hopo for England but in an extensive system of home colonisation . Your chairman has said , that there are many acres of waste lands ; well , we all know thero aro many millions of idle arms . If labour and land b » the producing causes » f
property , apply labour to land and tho result will beunmistakeable . Thirty years ago Mr . Owen had proposed an extensive system of home colonisation , as a reliof for Irish pauperism—the scheme was rejoctod . A fow . weeks sinco Mr . Colthurst had reported the results of draining moss and bog lands ; his report had been a subject of universal eulogy , and all thinkers and journalists were now constrained to admit , that an application of Irish labour to Irish land was tho only common sonso and industrial remody for thc sufferings of that distracted and most unhappy country . lie was awaro that all schemes of industrial _improyement wero subjeet to attack ; some likened home colonisation to iquatting , others to barbarism ; perhaps tho li g hts and shades of this question were never sketchod with a truer touch , than by Mr . Alison in his work on population . " Throughout the whole of Lombardy , says Mr . Alison ,, ' ¦ -you look in yam for any thing like a gen-

tleman s seat ; tho land is all let to middlemen who re-let their farms to the actual cultivators , and such is the accumulated weight thus heaped upon the farmers , that in spite of tlie richness of the soil , thev can barely procure the necessaries of life . Generally tlie cultivators have a small piece of land , with one or more cows ; hut this ' _systom , whieh under a more equitable administration would ho tho surest basis of public happiness , is hero perverted into a prolific source of misery ; for by yielding the people a _BUBsisiE-fcx asd *< otiii * 'o moke , it g ires an improper and uncalled for facility to their increase . The same oppressive and ruinous system of middlemen is conspicuous in the states of Parma and Modena , and the district of Padua , and in them all the same depression of tho peasantry ii to bo soen . " Dow explanatory and clear were tho sentiments just quoted . In all cases where the small holder was insecure in possession , and oppressed by rack rents and heavy imposts , ho was degraded and poor ; uut
unuer a wis _» administration , which could only mean an improved system of tonuro , frc * d from incumbrances and insecurities , sueh a system was bound to become "the surest basis of public happiness : " and , I would add , the only lasting basis of national prosperity . Tho history of tho past , in every nation and in orery clime , should be , that for a state to be great , and continue great , it must rest its industry mainly on agriculture ; trado and commerce enriched , and might for soma time sustain apparent advantages , but experience—unerring and c ontinuous—proTed that commerce rendered a ocople effeminate , and sustained luxury by sacrificing bodily vigour and moral virtue . Decay and desolation followed , lie looked to home colonisation as the great corrsctivo and balancing forco against mercantile chicane , paper money frauduleiicy , commercial and competitive antagonism . Mr . Kydd paid a marked tribute of respect tothe principles of the National Land Company , and resumed his _soat amidst marked and prolonged applause .
The next sentimont was , " Our Parliamentary Advocates . " Mr . Stallwood said , in responding to this , a friend had observed he hoped Mr . Stallwood had a lon _» cataloguo of thorn . In reply to this , let him say , the length of tho list must , like everything else , depend on tho peoplo themselves . ( Hear , ' hear J " ) IIowovci ' , there was Thomas Wakley , whom gratitude , fer his great and successful exertions on behalf of the Dorchester labourers , would novor allow him to forget ; to say nothing of his being evor willing and ready tomovo , second , or support anvthing beneficial to the peoplo . Alas ! his colleague ' s ( Mr ! Duncombe ) health forbade him U expect much of him in the cominj * - session . Then thero was _George
Th *> mpson , who had promised to movo on bohalf of their imprisoned victims . ( Loud cheers . ) There was Charles Lushington , who had been here and desired him to say his sympathies wero with them . ( Cheers . ) Thero was Sharman Crawford . Andhad they not the member for Nottingham — ( loud cheers)—who would do all his constituents required of him ? and , _oilovr him to add , it was their duty to be up and doing ; other partios wero in the field , getting up their petitions ; let them also get up theirs in every hundred , village , parish , township , and district ofthe kingdom , praying for tho " Charter " and " Home Colonies ; " let them pnt them into tho hands of the membors for tho district , and , dopend on it , when you desorvo you will not lack for Parliamentary advocates . ( Loudcheers . )
The CiiAinyAN said , thomt sontimont was , "A Speedy Release to all Political Prisoners . " In Scotland-yard thero was a dopot in which might be found dresses for disguise—from tho humble south-wester to the dandy Bond-streot swell—and he nmch feared it was from this depot we might trace the cause of political prisoners . He thought it our duty , ou all occasions , to denounce government espionage Sir John Jervis had said that Powell was an instrument in the hand of Divine providence to bring the guilty to justice . ( Laughter . ) Now he conceived this to bo
blasphemy , and he _prosumed the Attorney-General was protected against an indictmont for that offence , simply because ho was tho public prosecutor , and hence he could blaspheme with impunity . ( Hoar , hear . ) Mr . H . Ross , in responding , said , it was our duty to demand tho restoration of thoso mon to their homes and to _socioty , and failing to do this wo neglected our duty ; he should say it would shortly be our pleasing duty to memorialise the government in their behalf . ( Loud cheers . ) In conclusion , he would move the best thanks of tho meeting to their chairman , which was seconded by Mr . Clark , and adopted by acclamation . The Chairmax briefly acknowledged tha compliment , and the meeting quietly separated .
Tiie Great Free Trade Dinner At Manchest...
TIIE GREAT FREE TRADE DINNER AT MANCHESTER . Manchesthr . — On Wednesday evening a " monster banquet" took place in the Free Trade Hall to celebrate the " great fact" of tho "final repoal of thc Corn Laws . The immense area of tho vast building was occupied with tables , covered alternately " with pink and whito calico , stretching the entire length of the Hall at right angles with the raised platform , on -which -were seated seventy of the most distinguished guests , including Mr . Cobden , Colonel Thompson , Messrs . _"*» illiers , Gibson , M . Philips , Henry , Bright , Jackson , Williams , and several other Membors of Parliament . The other company constituted an _assemblage of nearly 3 , 000 persons . At seven o ' clock , the chair was taken by Mr . G . Wilson , chairman of the late Anti-Corn Law League Grace was said hv the Rev . P . Spencer .
The Chairman , -when refreshments had been taken by tiie company , rose , and , having briefly alluded to the letters of apology for absence which had been received from Mr . Hume , Mr . Fox , Dr . Bowring _, Mr . Porter , and others , said thoy had met to oelebrate the repeal of the Corn Laws —( cheers)—one of the greatest revolutions in the policy of this country which had ever been brought about . He concluded by giving the health of " Her Majesty tho Queen , may her reign be long , prosperous , peaceful , and happy . " ( Loud cheers , followed by tho National Anthem , performed by a military band stationed in front of tho gallery ) . Thc next toast proposed by the chairman was tho health of the Frco Trade Members of both Houses of Parliament . ( Loud cheers ) .
Mr . Villiers acknowledged tho compliment . The honourable gentleman adverted to the progress of Free Trade principles , and vindicated at length the conduct of the League . He declared his opinion that the Repeal ofthe Corn Laws , so far from being a substitute for , should rather be considered tho foundation and the means of , othor reforms . Mr . ConDE _>* , who was recoived with prolonged shouts of applause , next addressed tho meeting . He was anxious that there should bo nothing in that night ' s proceedings to indicate , for a momont , that they were actuated by feelings of exultation over a fallen foe ; but when he saw that other " individual , " the Duke of Richmond —( much laughter _)^ a man who , however he might want discretion , talent , and what he called " pluck , " wore a coronet , and
was called " His Grace "—when he saw him summoning together large bodies of tho farmers of Sussex , whom he had endeavoured , for ten years , to hoodwink and bamboozle , and endeavour to make them believe that he could restore protection , they must endeavour to save the farmers from getting into bogs and mire in following such a Will-o ' -the-Wisp —( cheers)—bv telling them that they in that hall , where _ttiey had beaten monopoly before , would take care that he should not restore one shilling of a protective duty . ( Loudcheers . ) He observed that his Grace left his friends the farmers at Bri g hton , and told them he would go up to London and present their petition to Lord John Russell and Lord Stanley , and talk to thorn about restoring protection to the farmers . It was of no use gomg to
men in power to talk _anout restoring me com mws . " We , " emphatically exclaimed the honourable gentleman , "Wo are in power on the corn laws . He did confess he did feel somewhat indignant at this barefaced attempt to delude honest men . H » had had credit given to him for keeping his temper for seven years on this question . He could not keep his temper with _humbus-s . He wanted it to be understood that , in dissolving the Leaguo , they wero not going to revivo it for a fresh contest about protection ; they had done with that . ( Cheers . ) If tho Duke of Richmond had _sobso enough to be a leader , he might have been able to perceive that thero was something coming up against the Anti-Corn Law League . ( Cheers . ) It was not merely protective duties that
were getting out of favour m tins country , but , however strong or weak it might be at present , still there was firmly and gradually growing an opinion decidedly opposed not merely to duties for protection , but to duties for revenue at all . Ho ventured to say they would not livo to see another statesman in Eii » l 3 nd propose any customs' duty on a raw material or article of first necessity like corn . ( Cheers . ) ne questionedwhethoranystatesmanwho had any regard for his future fame would _everpropoBe another excise or customs' duty at all . For a man who had an eye to look abroad and sagacity to understand tho tendency of publio opinion to talk to farmers ah _» ut getting back protection , was the
grossest delusion that could bo practised upon them . Instead of being bamboozled by their _desio-ning leaders , he would have the farmers look about them ; consult with their own neighbours ; State the grievances thoy felt , the difficulties thoy had to encounter , and sot rationally to work toremove any impediments to thoir competition in agriculture with tho wholo world , and if thoso grievances lay in the form of game laws , the want of better laws affecting the rights of landlords and tenants , or any localor goneral questions admitting of legislation at all , they would find -that assembly and those whom it represented as willing to cooperate in getting justice for the farmers as for any other class of the community . ( Cheers . ) The only question which could aviae now in _Uie _foi'mer _' amind
Tiie Great Free Trade Dinner At Manchest...
this , how could he compete with forei gners ? It was of no use talking of having a _resti-icrioii put on the supply of food ; 'he must compete with _foreisn .-ersi as others did . The people of Lancashire must spin and weave as cheaply as any on the face of thc earth , and the farmers must raise their coin and cattle on the samo terms ( Cheers . ) If anv protection were pointed out and enjoyed by any manufacturers he would vote against it . There must be no protection to farmers moro than to any other class of the community . The farmers wanted a high price for provisions ; hut the high _priee of provisions was incompatible with the * well-being of the community , and they must not protect tho class of farmers at tho oxpense of other classes of the population . They would find , taking the condition of the country in
every aspect during the last ten or twenty years , that in proportion as food was high , and " farmers had their way , the rest of tho community suffered morally , socially , and in a pecuniary point of view : thoy could not , therefore , submit to a principle which , if successful , resulted in an increase of pauperism and crime , and every calamity that could fall as a curse on a country . ( Cheers . ) They must havo food as cheap as it could be goS on the face of the oartii ; they would allow of no impediment to tho free importation of that first and most necessary gift of the Creator . The toast he had to propose was , " Tree Trade and peace , the best guarantees of popular rights , the best promoters of national industry , and the most effectual means for the reduction of national burdens . "
If Free Trado and peace were united , they would havo something yet to do beforo they had finished their work . They might consistently co-operate to carry out tho second object in thc toast . Having secured Free Trade in eorn , they must secure pcaco also . He had no fear of war ; ho had not had for a long time . The nations of the world had all spent so much money in previous war ** tliat thoy wero too poor to go to war again . ( Loud cheers . ) What he wanted was , that they should reap the fruits of poace ; they had not peace now , it was nothing hut an armed truce ; our warlike establishments costs us more ovory year than a war cost us in tho middle of lust century : he did nofc call that peace . He could talk to thorn on tho subject of peace in a very different spirit , and with a Yery
difterent tono , to what ho was obliged to submit to in an assembly to which he was going to-morrow . In that assembly if one prognosticated peace immediately he was taunted with anticipating the millennium ; if ho hoped for peace he waa told that it was quite wrong , and that everywhere there were signs of war . All this was said in a spirit of exultation which was something rather difficult to account for ; the vast expenditure on what was facetiously termed our peace establishment crcatod powerful ' interests in thu country—they liad to battle with them . Tlie eighteen millions of money they spent on fighting men made fighting men vory fashionable in society . They had money to spend ; ' thoy gave employment to people ; they could form the largest , finest , and most fashionable clubs in London ; they gave thoir
tone to society , and could employ othors to write foe thorn . He wanted those excellent spirits who had been exerting themselves so long to accomplish a freedom of trado to get what thoy had not yet effected—a real ueace . Notwithstanding all that had been said on that subject , he reiterated there never was a time whon Europo ' _was so predisposed to listen to advances made by tho pooplo of England on that subject as now . He would not expect too much . Leaguers wero not accustomed to havo great changes worked in one session , or ono year , but the step to be taken next session was one in the right direction . Hedid not talk of revolutions ; almost every revolution that had happenod was justified by circumstances . Htt had heard Lord John Russell say in the House of Commons that tho nations of the continent were
paying a heavy prico for their liberties ; but lie said not a higher price than they were worth . The hon . gentleman , after some furthor remarks to the same effect , concludod amidst loud cheers by declaring that the germ ofa great revolution had been laid by tho meetings in that Hall , and that it would expand and circulato round the _globt _* , whilo its influence would only end with timo itself . Colonel _TuoMrso . v came forward amid loud cheering to proposo the healths of tho popular constituencies of the country , which had returned Free Traders .
Mr . Biuoht next _addressed tho meeting , and waa receired with vociferous cheers . The hon . gentleman proposed the following sentiment : — " The Free Trado struggle ; may tho rights it gained be saved for ever ; may tho power it developed ho wisely used ; may the lessons it taught never be forgotten . " ( Loud cheering . ) Mr . _MiiXEK Gmsox proposed the following toast : — " Tho agricultural , manufacturing , and commercial interests of this country , whose welfare is best promoted by the removal of all legislative restrictions .- " He * looked on Protection as belonging to the same school of political doctrine as Communism _, or Socialism , and was glad to find that they were all alike to the English people . After some more sooeohos tlie Assomblv disporsed .
Tooting Cholera Cases. A Meeting Was Hel...
TOOTING CHOLERA CASES . A meeting was held at St . Pancras , on Tuesday , at -which resolutions -wero passed condemnatory of the treatment pursued towards the children of _tlift Tooting pauper establishment ; condemnatory of the system of fanning out paupers ; and also condemnatory of the conduct of the different Boards of Guardians having children at Tooting , for negligent supervision . Another resolution was carried , pledging tho meeting to presont a testimonial to the jury who conducted tlie investigation which resulted in a verdict of manslaughter against Mr " nrmiet _.
On Tuesday evening , a meeting was hold at the Western Literary Institution , _Leiccstcr-squaro , for the purpose of taking into consideration the destruction of human life which has taken place among the infant paupers at Drouet ' s Tooting establishment , and adopting measures for abolishing- tho system of farming the poor by thc guardians of tho Poor Law Unions . Mr . Carpenter in the chair . Mr . Hawkins proposed a resolution to the offect , that , as it appeared that the system under whieh tho children at Tooting had lost their lives , had , from time to timo , met with tho approval of the guardians of tlie poor , and had existed with the sanction of the Poor Law _Commissionei-3 , the meeting considered such
treatment to be inseparable from tho spirit and essence of the now Poor Law , and , therefore , called for its utter and immediate abolition . Tlie resolution was adopted , as was ono , the purport of which was , that a petition to Parliament , praying for th _» abolition of the presont Poor Law system , bo adopted by the meeting ; in support of which Ur . 1 ' onham _, one of the medical gentlemen in attendance at Drouet ' s establishment , while tho cholera was raging thero , attributed much of tho fatality which had taken place to the negligence of the functionaries of tho various unions which sent children there . Tlie petition referred to in tho resolution haying been read and adopted , and a vote of thanks given to the chairman , the meeting separated .
_MKTROrOLITAX _FINANCIAL REFOKM ASSOCIATION * . — On Monday , a meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavorn , Strand , for the purpose of considering the propriety of forming a " Metropolitan Financial Reform Association , " to act in unison with the associations already formed in Liverpool and Manchester . Mr . S . Harrison was called to the chair , when a resolution was moved by Mr . Serle m favour of economy and Parliamentary reform , and , being seconded by Mr . Phelps , was unanimously agreed to . A resolution , formally re . solvm » the meeting into an association for tho promotion ot the ' above objects , was then moved by Mr . M'larlaiie _. and also unanimously agreed to ,- as wore llkowiso resolutions in favour of co-operation with the people of Manchester and Liverpool , and for increasing the number of tho 40 . 9 . frooholders .
