SCURVY AND IMPURE BLOOD . AROTHEB M 05 T EXTB & 06 D 1 NART CURE BT HEARS OP HAL SE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS . —The following case has excited so much interest , that the Guardians of the parish of Brent , _uevon , have _coDsidersd it their duty to si ? n their names to tbe accompanying important declaration . It is well worthy the notice of thepubb ' c : — ' We the undersigned , solemnly declare , that , before Thomas Robins ( one of our _parishioners ) , commenced taking ITalse ' _s Scorbutic Drops , he was literally covered with large _runninsj wounds ( some of them so large that a person might have laid his fist in them ) , tliat before he iad finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement , and that by _continuing them for some time he got completely restored to health after everything elsehadfailed . He had tried . various sorts of medicines before taking'Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops , ' and had prescriptions from ihe most celebrated physicians in this eountry , without deriving the least beBefit . ' Halse ' s Scorbntie Drops ' hare completely cured him , and he is now enabled , to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish . From other cures also made in this part , we strongly recommend' Halse's Scorbutic Drops' to the notice of the public . 'Signed by John Elliott , sen ., Lord ofthe Manor . 'John _Mannisq . _'Wkxiah Pearce . * Hbsbt Goodilw . * _ARTHUB _LASQWOSTHTi ' _JuneSlst , 1513 . ' Tie above-mentioned Tkomas _B-nins was quite iacapableof doing any kind of work - _^ _flatever . Before he _commencsd taking these drops sorr _* of his wounds were so large that it was most awful toleflk at them , ani the itching and pain of the wounds generaUy were most dreadful ; indeed , the poor fellow could be heard screeching by passers by , botfc day and nigkt , for sleep was en . tirely out of the question . He was reduced to mere skin and bone , and daily continued io get weaker , so that there was every probability of la ., speedy death . The effect which ' Halie ' s Scorbutic Drops' had on him was , as it were , magieal ; for _befoi-e he had . taken the first bottle , bis _slee _^ _i was sound and refreshing , the itching _CCXSed , and th _» pain was _Tery mocb _lessened . _Persons whr ) see _hiin now can scarcely believe it is the same man —the pale , sallow , sickly complexion having given way to that of the roseate hue of bealtk , and his veins filled with bleod as puffe as purity itself . For all scorbutic eruptions , leprosy , diseased legs , wounds in any part of the hody , scurvy in the gums , pimples and blotches on the neck , arms , or face , these drops are a sure cure . They make the disease vanish like snow before the sun . Their action is to purify the blood ; they are composed of the juices of various herb * , and are so harmless _feitat they may be safelv administered even to infants . The enormous sale which this medicine has now obtained is an _tmdOEbted proof ef its invaluab _' _s propertiis , the great 6 ale of it being principally throv _^ h recommendation , Any medicine vender will procure it _i application . Read the following extract frctn the Kottihghah Eeview : — 'Impurity of the blood the cause of Scurvy , Sad Legs , & c . * 1613 reaUy _astonishing that so many persons should be content to be afflicted with scsirvy , wounds in the legs , & c , when it is a well-asesrtained fact that Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops make the disease vanish like snow before tke sun . No one is better able to judge of the value of a medicine as to its effeets on tbe bulk of the people than a vender ef the article ; and as venders of this medicine we can conscientiously recommend it to our friends , for there is _scaresly a day passes but we kear seme extraordinary aecouHts of it ; indeed , we have known parties who have tried o & er _advertised Medicines without the least success , and yet on resorting to this preparatien , the n jw _jnitlr etlebrated Halse ' s Scorbutic Drops , thc _dtswsehas _yielied as if by magic .

On Saturday week , the great meeting to elect a delegate to sit in the Convention was held . When the procession moved past the barracks , tbe _g-heering was answered by the soldiers appealing at _% e windows , waving their hats , caps , and handkerchiefs , and clapping their hand . ' . This alarmed tbe authorities _^ and a removal was the result . The people _heaiing of the intended removal , met to the _numbtr of 5 , 000 , headed by a large tricoloured banner , and escorted the soldiers to the railway _s ' a-, tion , cheering all tha way On tbo return a great meeting was held in the matket place .

An Address To The English, Scotch,. -_ ....
AN ADDRESS TO THE ENGLISH , SCOTCH , . _- _ . __~
AND IRISH . Men of England , Scotland , and Ireland , mark , read , and learn , by the glorious victory of liberty gained by tbe enlightened , bold , and generous people of France , who have set an example worthy of imitation b y every nation in the world , by dethroning and releasing themselves from an ungrateful and tyrannical monarch . Every man of sense—every man of principle—every man who is a well wisher to bis country , cannot but feel deeply indebted to that brave nation , who have conquered aU those difficul . ties which , but a f e w mon t h s b a ck , appeared insurmountable ; not only have they conqueredtheir own
tyrant , but have also generously offered a help _, ing hand to their English , Scotch , and Irish brethren . Who can refuse such a generous offer ? Who cannot wish for Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity ? Who is not disgusted with an aristocratic and extravagant government ? Who is not tired of an exorbitant and indirect taxation ? Now is the time for every voice to be raised . Now is the time for all to join in one bond of unity , and let all minor differences sink into obliv i on , an d unite , first , in peace , and demand your ri g hts ; and if they cannot be obtained by such measures , then follow the noble example of your French brethren . The man who will not listen and
accede to this , is not only a fool , but a knave ; he ia blind to his own interest , and encouraging a licentious government to pick the pockets of his fellow countrymen . Prepare , every one of you , for a great national change , eith e r b y peace or war . Suffer no longer an oligarchy , but let ' every _clasps have Us own representative . Let every one be rewarded according to his industry and merit . This cannet , this _wilVn ' o t be , till t he den of thieves is roote d out , and England is governed by experience , knowledge , and . wisdom .
Now is the time—agitation has commenced ; letit continue till your rights are obtained . You have justice and reason on your side , and steady perseverance will gain you the victory . Royalty and its followers tremble—Royalty and its followers will fall , and great will he that fall . Well may Royalty and its supporters sympathise with a fallen crown , when they have walked in the same path—arrived at the brink of the same precipice , a n d w ill s hortly descend with the same rapidity as the base object of their undeserving pity .
Men of England , Scotland , and Ireland , Me you aware of the amount jou pay on every article you purchase for the coramou necessaries of life ? I presume many of you are no t . For every £ 1 spent in tea , yoa paj 10 s . duty ; for every £ 1 spent In sugar , 6 s . duty ; for every £ 1 spent in soap , 5 s . duty ; every £ 1 spent in tobacco , 10 s . duty ; for every £ 1 9 pent in beer , 4 s . duty ; for every £ 1 Bpent in spi- rits , I 4 s . duty ; for every £ 1 spent in coffee , 8 s . duty , From this brief statement you may easily form an estimate of what you annually pay towards an extravagant government . No doubt you would like to know what becomes of the money , and it is right you should know ; and it affords / me great p leasure to give you as much information on that subject as time and space will allow : —

A great part of it is spent in giving splendid banquets , and such like noble entertainments . One of them sometimes will not cost this liberal nation less _' than
£ 100 , 000 . Who enjoys it ? Royalty and its supporters . Who pays for it ? The , labourer , the tradesman , the artisan , and the profession—in fact , all classes of the community except the aristocracyexcept men of wealth and property , who do nothing more than lay down one shilling to * your shilling and that shilling is returned to them' again wi tb enormous interest , by way of government salaries . And these men are men of immense private property . Many of them are worth hundreds of thousands per annum . These are the men you are
paying to leg islate for your country . These are the men who share your hard earnings , For these men you are compelled to p ine yourselves , your wives , and your families . Arouse , then , I beseech you , from that torpor in whicii you , your fathers , your grandfathers , and great-grandfathers have slep t for s o many generations , ' and join hand and heart i n gaining your own just and lawful rights . But delay no time . The storm has begun . The wind has blown , whicii has made the castle walls to shake , and one blast more will level them with the ground .
An Address To The English, Scotch,. -_ ....
I must now give you a few words on the present representatives of the House of Commons-you will then see at one g lance that , until you are represente d by a diff e rent class , there will be no chance of just legislation . In our present House of Comrhons , or , more properly speaking , House of Aristocrats-there are 6 58 members , to represent the peop le of the Unite d K i ng dom . Out of that number 266 are the sons , heirs presumptive , grandsons , brothers , nephews , cousins , and near connexions by marriage of _t-oroneted members of the House of Lords . Of these 266 , three-fourths !) ave invariably voted as Tories against the peop le , and for the aristocracy ; and out of the whole number , there are not more tban 150 that stand free to vote as the - *
p eop le wish , and for the people ' s interest . Ought these things to he ? Are these things to continue ? If so , I cannot understand the feelings of mankind . Before concluding the subject of aristocratic government , I must si mp l y ask you , « Do vou think our present Prime Minister , Lord John Russell , a pr o per per s on to a d vocate the ca use of a poor man , a tradesman , or a professional man ? Certainly not—for he has ever lolled in affluencenever known the duties ofa profession—the anxiety and losses of trade , o r the m iseries of a destitute cottage . What then is this great man fit for ? He is fit to represent the aristocracy—to support their extravagant and licentious propensities—to attend the Royal Banquets—and to _pjtk the pockets of an industrious people .
It is not my wish to excite you to physical forcefar from it . It is not my wish to prejudice you ag ainst those who call themselves your superiors- * - far from it ; hut it is my wish to show you that you are now living under a tyrannical government , burdened with vexatious taxes , for the sole support of a licentious , extravagant , and _over-reaching aristocracy ; many of you may , _perhaps at the present time , be ignorant as to the benefit you would derive from a leg islative change ; b ut yo u need not rem ai n l ong in ignorance , you have many very eminent men on your side daily advocating your cause at the risk and inconvenience of every personal comfort . Attend
their demonstrations—converse upon tbem—reason with your own mind—consult your own principles and the natural sense which Providence has given you , and a few weeks will plainly show that a national change is essentially necessary for your domestic comfort , and the prosperit y o f your native land . Believe me to be , my dear fellow countrymen , Your sincere well-wisher , A Liberal-minded Englishman .
To The Eight Honour A Ble Lord John Russ...
TO THE EIGHT HONOUR A BLE LORD JOHN RUSSELL , M . P . My Lord , —At this critical period of my life , I cannot rest any longer without , addressing a few lines to you , sincerely hoping they may find you in good health and spirits as they leave me . But now to bu s ine s s , as I do not wjsh to detain you any longer tban I can help , knowing you are Prime Minister of the United Kingdom—an office you have fulfilled much tn the dissatisfaction of every sensible person in Her Majesty ' s dominions . I understand you are therefore to be dismissed frem that honourable and profitable situation in April next .
I must say , I think this is coming rather too hard u p on y ou , considering at that time you must deliver in your accounts , and you have a long and awful settling with conscience ; how yon will balance I can form . no idea , although I am an accountant by profession . For , in the first place , yourself and your predecessors have been robbing millions of people for years , and you have only told us how part of the mo . ney has been spent , aud that has been divided between your royal mistress , yourself , and your colleagues . Now , my Lord , do be kind enough to tax your memory in the same manner you have done the perp ' e , and no doubt you will be able to inform _, me where part of it is gone to . If you do not comply with this request in the next number of the Northern Stab ,
I shall begin to think yon deserve prosecuting for obtaining money under false pretences ; it will also lead others to think that their money has been applied to private purposes . It is an old saying , ' you should lay by for a rainy day , ' and I fancy your poor old grandmother has taught yoa that very lesson—and if she did , "she was none too honest , otherwise she would bave taught you how to have taken care of yonr own , and not to have robbed nations . Consider again , my Lord , that millions have sunk into their graves in the prime and vigour of youth , from no other cause than ba d leg islation . Does not your Wood run cold m your veins , when you thin k of these h orri d murders ? Think again , there are thousands of fatherless and motherless
children , left unprotected on the wide world , and all through that wicked government of which you are the head . Although , my Lor d , you cannot deny having literally pined millions to death , you had the audacity , the other night , to stand up in the house , and in reply to an honourable member , respecting the hosp i t alit y sh o wn to th a t execrable tyrant , now christened ' King Billy Smith , ' to say tbat you should always sanction that hospitality and sympathy towards an unfortunate individual for which Eng land had for ever been famed . My Lord , I hope vou will excuse me dictating to you , but you made a mistake ; it was not Billy ' s misf o rtune , but misconduct . I should have thought a man of learning , like
y our s elf , w o u l d have be e n able to distin g u i sh the difference betweeu those two words , and also the m e rit an d d e merit to which they a re r e spectiv e l y entitled ; but however , time is precious to us both , just now , for you are at the head of a government and I expect to be in a few weeks , for although you hav e had so much p oli t ical ex p erience you are qu i te incompetent to govern this empire ; it is a pity I did not take the office of Prime Minister years' ago , as it would have been the means of saving millions of poor wretches from starvation , and have been millions of pounds in the pockets of those left behind . Now , my Lord , I shall only dissect one _speech , of yours , which I think will be sufficient to
show you , tbat I am as fit for that honourab l e office , and' even more so than . yourself , This speech you made on the 13 th of March , in reply to the learned and hon . member for the West Riding of York ( Mr Cobden ) , ou the Income Tax question : in the first part , you o bserved , ' That you bad heard the most opposite and strangest reasons urged for the support of an amendment which embo d ie d no principle , but which was a mere amendment for the purposes of embarrassment . ' Pray , my lor d , on what princi p le was your favourite tax first founded ? On the look-out and _take-care-ofyourself p rinciple , I presume ; but you have gone rather to far , and you must be either a great fool ,
or a great rogue—I beg your pardon , my lord , I make a mistake , I mean both ; and for fear you should ask why , I will t e ll you , to save me _$ e trouble of writing another letter on this subject . Yon were a fool to suppose the people would sit down by such a base imposition , and you were a rogue to desire them . Now this is what I call plain English , and coming out like a man . In the same speech , you ask whether it is possible to make such reductions as to enable the House to dispense with the Income Tax after the present year , and that you thought it necessary for the sake of the credit of the country to ask for the tax for three years longer ; now , my lord , you have made another great mistake , —it is not the credit of the country—no farther than self interest is concerned—that you care one fig about , therefore do not preach any more of that
nonsense to me . I will at once sugge s t a plan , not only to dispense with the Income tax , but also to pay off the National Debt , which I shall lay before the new Republican Government as soon as things are settled , which I hope will he by the last week in May or the beginning of June . This , my lord , perhaps , will astonish you , but it is no more odd than true . I shall now state it as brief as possible , merely to give you an idea of my intentions : — I s h al l re d uce the propert y of every aristocrat in the United Kingdom down to £ 10 , 000 per annum ; but those who have been the cause of so much destitution and misery , the whole of their propert y s h o nld be confiscated to the government , and s uch provision made for them as the statute shall enact , not exceeding £ 100 per annum ; and in case of any at tempt being made to deceive the . government by means of transfer 01 anv ™» i _M _« n . _„„„„ i .. t _.. i means oi transfer 01 real or estate
any personal whatsoever , the party or parties st ) offending will , upon the discovery _Jhereof , be transported for the term of their natural life . Now , my lord , this is only one means I should adopt , and which I am sure you cannot think arbitrary , as you will never pine on £ 100 per annum . I can only say , I wish I had it myself , or even half that amount , I _shoulcfn grumble , nor even wish to change places with tiie most wealthy monarch in the world . My lord , there is another sentence or two in the speech which looks very black against you , and I must say , I do not thmk you bear that wise proverb in mind , — ' Always to think thrice before you speak once , ' — otherwise you would not talk of suppressing the truth , which you say you are determined to do ; but I am inclined to think you will then undertake a task you will not be able to accomplish , for you
To The Eight Honour A Ble Lord John Russ...
wi l l have more than o ne , two , or three to chastise , if yoa once begin , for the voice of him to whom you allude is the voice of millions , —this , I thin k , will almost make you scratch y our head where it doss not itch . If , my lord , you are really i gn o rant as to the public opinion of your political career , yo u will know on the 10 th day of April next , for there is at this time a waggon making on purpose to carry it to your Hon . House ( the House of Commons ) , and headed . " 71 ! . _«» ,. _m / _lM _(! _, _»» nr , n 4 «« rA nr * _tVlfOD _fft _1-thflat . _iftP
which will be drawn by nine horse ? , and by the father of all nation * , ( Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P . ) , and many thousands of his dutiful children will follow and precede this wonderful vehicle . Now , mv lord , as daddy to your colleagues , I hope yoH will be in attendance on that memorable day , and yield to public opi nion and n a tural sense , _otherwise l am afraid the two families will not very well agree ; in fact , I should not be surprised if your own children disagreed betweeen themselves , and
remember— Birds in their Jittlo neat agree , And it is a shameful signs , When children of one family Fallout , and chide , and fight . In short , you must not be absent under any circumstances whatever . I am sure you need not take any pills after this , for your disease is a hopeless one if thi s do e s no t cure you ; your p h y s ici a n feel s rather reluctant about disclosing to you what is really the matter , but I am not quite so particular , so I will out with it at once : —it is what is called ' Black Heart , ' and as you are very bad there is no chance of an effectual cure , nevertheless I will g ive
you a little advice;—Do not take a warm bath between now and the 10 th of April , for fear of reducing your strength too much , as I have no doubt the excitement on that day will bave the same effect . Do not forget to instruct your valet to prepare sume clean linen , and to bave it well-aired on your return home . I also think it would be advisable for . you to go in disguise ; by so doing , perhaps , you may escape a few insults which unrul y c h i l d ren are so often apt to indulge in ; but to cut the matter short , if you think yon really cannot hear the excitement , or do not feel inclined to come to terms with the National Father , your wisest plan will be to procure some hair dye , a travelling cap , and such like necessary articles , and pack up your traps and start .

An Appeal To Her Majesty Queen Victo R I...
AN APPEAL TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTO R IA , THB GOVE R NMENT A ND THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND , IN BEHALF OF THOMAS PRESTON . The government , thirty years ago , having moat unadvisedly employed Edwards as a spy , and believing bis most false and wicked statements , were led to prosecute Thomas Preston for High Treason ; and although he was honourably acquitted , yet the proceedings subjected him to such expenses , and entailed such losses , as reduced him and his family to the most abject _pavetty . from wliioh tkey have been suffering greatly for many years _. The writer of . this appeal being convinced that the principles of Thomas Preston are very similar t _* these of Lord John Russell , Sir Robert Peel , and Richard Cobden , Esq ., addressed the annexed letter 1 to tbem .
Now , through the medium of the press , he appeals to Her Majesty Q , ueen Victoria , the Government , and the People of England , in behalf of _Thomai P r e s ton , that his ease and circumstances may be fairly and fully considered , and that justice may be done to his principles , to himself , and to his family . LETTER ADDBES 8 ED AND SENT TO THE BIGHT HON , I . OBD _johw _BOeaeLi , the eight hon . sib _bobbit _pzel , BART ., AND BICHABD COBDEN , ESQ . Gentlemen—SUce I came to London , my attention bas been directed to an indlvidutil , eighty years of age , who wbb better known In the political world thirty yearB since than at _pn-sont . He was much earlier in tbe arena of the _Corn-law ngltatloa than joarselveB . He had laboured twenty years in the cause before you
commenced your work ; He was one of those who laid the _foundation on which you have since built . Shall I add , tbat to him in part , perhaps , you msy be indebted for your rise and present high stations 1 In the wordB of Cardinal _Wolsey , I may add , * Had he endeavoured to serve Cod as sincerely as he has endeavoured to serve man , He would not have bo slighted , neglected , and foreaken him . ' labia behalf I appeal , cot so much to your benevolence as to yonr justice . I may oven remind yon of tha debt of gratltudo you may even owe to him , As fine a _spliit , and as vigorous a mind , dwells in this aged man of eighty , as in any of you , so that whenever he may come iDto your presence , you will do well ' to rise up before tho hoary head , and honour tbe face of the old man , and fear thy God . '
This aged Individual , whose cause I have the honour and _privilege to plead , is Thomas PbestoN , who was tried for High Treason , bot after a _protraetei triai 01 nine days was acquitted , asjnstly and honourably I _believo , as any Individual conld be that was ever brought into any court of justice . So far from _meditating or planning evil against the king or the country , I believe he was , and still is , one of the most loyal subjects in tbe Queen ' s dominions ; and as such the Prime Minister will onlj be doing an act of ' ustleo , by presenting him to the Queen as one of the Fathers of Reform . - Aa a Clergyman , I look to one who is even higher than thc highest on earth , even to tbo King of kings and Lord of lords ; and I believe I am acting in conformity with His will , in thus bringing befero you ihe aged Thomas Preston . I havo the honour to remain , Gentlemen , your faithful humble servant , _Hbrbem Smith .

Equality, Liberty, And Fraternity. The F...
EQUALITY , LIBERTY , AND FRATERNITY . The following speech , delivered at the French Republican Banquet at Freemasons Hall , on the 27 th nit ., was in type last week , but press of matter compelled its withdrawal from the report ofthe Banquet which appeared in the last number of the Star . Julian Harney also responded to the sentiment , ' Le Peuple Anglaise . ' On rising to speak he was received with _immeuse applause . lie said : I feel greatly honoured in being pormitcd to take part in the proceedings of this _glorious festival . I speak to express the sentiment of fraternity which I know is cherished in the hearts of my countrymen towards their brethren , the people of France . ( Applause . ) One feature distinguishes the present Revolution—I will not say French , but European Revolution—( great applause ) , that the
people of every nation are of the . same mind . From the Seine to tbe Vistula from the _Tagus to the Tiber , from the Danube to the Thames , one aspiration ar i ses f rom tbe hearts of the long oppressed millUnB —the aspiration for Equality , " Liberty , Fraternity . ( Great cheering . ) Equality 1 sublime dogma ! At the birth and the death of man nature proclaims the equality of the race . The children of the peer , and the children ofthe peasant are born equally helpless ; it is surrounding circumstances that make the afterdistinctions of life . And in death , although the rich man 's remains may be born to the grave with all the pomp of artificial grief , followed by mourniBg coaches full of emptiness—the very mookery of woe ; although the sculptor's skill may be employed to make the almost blushing marble proclaim the virtues of the deceased , which while living he _Bbowed the utter want of , * and , on the other hand , although the poor man may have a dog ' a funeral ,
1 Rattle his bouep , Over the stones , He ' s only a pauper whom nobody owns ' , —still at last both are equal in the grave . There ' the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest ; ' there the mightiest monarch is no mere than the humblest slave . ( Loud cheers ;) But equality is now demanded by the people as a lifelong reality . In tbe declaration of independence , America proclaimed that ' All men are born free and equal * , ' but it has been reserved for glorious Franco to show that men are not only born but may live free and equal . ( Great oheering . ) This Equality is attainable , and without it Liberty and Fraternity are not attainable . So long as masters and servants
exist there can be no real liberty . Theoretically the white v ? otkvng men of America are free , but—to Bay nothing of the blacks—practically they are slaves . There gold supplies the place of force , ' and is itself the most grinding of tyrannies . ( Loud cheers . ) Without Equality there can be no real Fraternity . So long aa one man monopolises superfluities , and his fellow-man iB in want of the commonest necessaries , it is impossible there can be a brotherhood of the two . Nations , too , must be e quall y f ree , or the free will despise the enslaved . Could England continue much longer the refuge of destitute royalty , the home of kicked-out tyrants , the sanotuary of the accursed principle of _tmatooraoy , the temple ofa mam * raon-gorged bourgeoisie , theLand where Labour ' _sson s and daughters shiver , hunger , and p er i sh in th e
midst of unparalleled luxury and boundless wealth ; if this _dipgraceiul state of _tning _90 ould last , Frenchmen would naturally and properly despise my countrymen . But , thank God , Englishmen will redeem their © barActer , and will prove themselves worthy to link England's name with that of free and glorious France . ( Tremendous cheering , ) The Equality I contend for may be established through the emancipation aud organisation of labour , without injustice to any man or set of men . If in the future stages of tho revolution violent _conftiota of classes should take place , you may assure yourselves that suoh violence will not be the fault of tho peopio . Glory to tho men of Franco , who have again taught the nations how to struggle for Liberty — fo die for Liberty— -and to . wrest from tyrants the rights of

Charter becomes tbe law of the land . My plan is , abstaining from all kinds of drink paying taxes , and aho tobacco . Now , I am a working man all thoBe years , and am a better man than when I took tbem . Now , friend _Haslem and brother Chartists , consider that malt alone gives to the Exchequer more ° tban _fonr and a half millioaB , tbat and strong drink furnishes the Exchequer , altogether , with more than £ 11 , 000 , 000 . annually , and that tobacco pays mora than two millions annually , making between thirteen and fourteen millions paid for riveting the fetters of slavery .

HOW TO OVERTHROW A BAD GOVERNMENT . TO XHB EDITOR Of TBE MOBTHEBN STAB , Sib , —In perusing the letter of your Manchester eor « respondent ( C . V . Haslam ) on the above subject , I cannot agree with his mods of proceeding . Were an attempt to be made by the shopkeepers and other parties to withhold the taxes , as be _suggests , it is certain the go * vemment would take measures to enforce payment , and it would ultimately lead to tbe very steps he iB so anxious to avoid . I am equally averse to arms , would any other means suffice ; but depend upon this , sir , tha Rights of Man will never be granted , unless force ie used ,
and even that must be done shortly ; for if the publia mind is once more allowed to sink into that apathy and _listlessness in which it bas lulled for so maBy years , the Government will take due precaution to prevent any future attack being made npon them . There is not a doubt ofthe people ' s victory if they are but true to their leaders and their cause .

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION TO THE EDITOB OF TOE _HOBTHEBH STAB , Sin , —An idea has just ocourrod to me with reaped to this body , which I ara vain enough to suppose might ba usefully carried out . The Convention will be necessarily appointed by the great towns and populous districts ; bus ita bob est » most he obeyed by the nation , oa it hopes to be free . Now , for the purpose ot identif ying ihe less densely peopled localities with the people ' s traa parliament , I propose that these be invited at special meetings , to send -ap _adWions to the , Convention tha towns , and hamlets , and parishes , of _Ireloni more parti _, culary ; and further , that the people In _theao localities , as woll as thoBe who actually elect the delegatea , should
appoint from threo to five men of approved courage _, known ability , and tried patriotism , to be named Cona « oils of Tribunes ; whose election shall be confirmed by tbe Convention , and who _ihall _sAmjA between U and tha people—communicate its recommendations to thepablio —and lead the people in carrying out its ulterior mea . _sures ; to constitute , in fact , a local magistracy for the nation , In a farmer communication I told you thero was much excitement among the people in this quarter . I have iu 9 t heard , npon undoubted authority , that an ' alarming' number ofthe agricultural labourers at our hiring fair , last Wednesday , exultlngly and openly avowed their belief and hope , that in a short time , like the men of France , they would have some say in fixing tha rate of their own wages , and from other sources
I learn enough to convince me that thia educated , and Intelligent , tbongh terribly enslaved class , are for the first time ready to move . No time ought to be lost is getting into communication witb them , and I do think that this cheering fact ought to be taken as a good omen . And while the Convention is sitting , the men of London must rally round it by frequent deputations , and a guard if necessary . Deputations mi ght also carry tho countenance of the populations of several densely peo « plod districts by the many _railways , of which the metropolis is the focus ; and , above all , if the Convention adopt the Ant ; proposed by _Stoinius , or any other , it ought to float in ample folds , conspicuously , from tha roof of the building in which tho hope of throe neble nations sits in Council . Dumfries , April 2 nd . I am yourb . fee ,, GwtTH .
