"Feu Peopis'a Jobbsai- Part Xxii. London...
"feu _PEOPis _' a _Jobbsai- _Part XXII . London : J . Bennett , 69 , Fleet-street . This is a most interesting part of this very excel * lent publication . The illustrations ara beautiful , and the articles by Harriet _Martineau , Mrs Hodgson , llrs Sinnett _, Mrs London , Mary Lemaa Gillies , Lard Nugent , Parke Godwin , II . Dixoa , snd other celebrities , _aremore than ordinarily able , instruc tive , and entertaining . Harriet Martineau ' s remi-Biscences of ' The Holy Land' are quite a treat . In saying thi ? , we must , at the same time , _exaress onr regret that the lady-traveller shonld hava been guilty ofthe folly of dipping her bucket into the Jordan for soma of its water , intended for the baptism -of some infant , the child ofa friend of the traveller ' s . We were not prepared to find snch a woman as
Harriet Martineau aping the absurdities of royalty and I its sycophants . We notice some pleasing sketches of I life in Tunis , hy an African Rambler , verv interesting to female readers . ' A Talk with Lamennais , ' if authentic and we have no reason for doubting its authenticity , is a curious revelation of ihe present ihoughts _* . of one of the most extraordinary men of this age . It appears that tbe ex-Abba has a thorough contempt for onr free-traders , and rightly _characterises the recent Anti-Corn Law agitation as a -conspiracy ef the manufacturers for the promotion of their own class-interests . Hejustry regards the monopoly of tha soil as the monster-grievance of the English people . fie appears to have no great veneration for the eternal chatterers about 'moral force . * Here are his
words-Are we to stand _snaplj bv , hoping to talk down such a system of despotism and corruption as ears at pre eentf Are we to ' wait for soma age , coming nobedy £ nows when , in wbich tbe mind will bt so advanced that -wrong will not be able te exist ! Why , our governors would not allow at to work for snch a time . Ko , no ; -we most act . Asd thera Is nothing bnt ths sword to ant this gordian knot . It is a tad necessity , I know , that blood ihoald be shad . * * Sow many speeches and manifestos ! would lt tako to rasters Poland to her nationality f De yoa think _Batsia , or Austria , or *? ra _** _ia , i * to _"» persuaded by ought bat the sword ! Besides , with ns the times become daily mora opportune , aod teem to demand a stroke . The air is thick with signs of a ebange preparing . * ? Beianger aad I were talking over tbat very questioa the other day . "Ay , ay , ' said he , ' wa hava both _ona foot ia the grave , and the other not far off ; bnt we'll stand oat yet long _enoajb . to see a complete turnover in afr-irB . It ' s ( Mining , if ¦ _alffloit her * now !'
Godsend tbat Beranger may ba a true prophet , ; and that the hope of Lamennais of a speedy revelation in France may be realised ! If revolntion begins in France , it will not end there ! We have _elsewhere given Beranger-s latest song . It will be _received with a burst of enthusiasm by all the haters of Sings here as well as ia the poet ' s own land . 'A Voice from tke United States on Emigration ' _*>* fill well repay perusal . The writer bears evidence to the triumphant progress of the Young American _jrarty . ' The Working Hen ' s Associations , ' says he , " are rapidly forming in all the free states . They _ooenly declare against all war , all slavery , and lay _dtira to an equal division ef the pnblic lands . ' Tbe * Letters from America' are valuable _contributions . In a former part of the Journal , we observed a letter from Horace Greely , editor of the New York Tnbme , briefly narratiBg the progress of oc-operation in America . From tbat letter we give the following extracts : —
TBE SHAKES COHKtJ-JIITBS . The Shakers , to ealled by the world , bat known to each other as 'United Christian Friends , ' have at least fair extensive and flourishing establishments is the United States—at Bnfiriu , Kew Hampshire ; _Sarwood , Massachusetts ; Hew Lebanon , New York ; * sd _Sis'sayuna , Xew Tork . Absolute _ca-operation ef _property it well known to be one of their distinguishing < euats , aad ia most inflexibly adhered to . None of these co-operations are now less than thirty years old ; -oast t > f them are from forty to fifty . Each _cammeneed in poverty and privation , andtacihas lang sine * overcame all pecuniary difficulties by maass of simple , _straightfsrward industry , rendered effective by their co-operative organisation . All the member * labour regularly and
• _noderately , none excessively ; and the result is teen in large domains , pnrchaaed piece by piece , and paid for ; ample ana excellent buildings ; _extensiveherds of eattle ; spacious enclosures , redeemed from sterility and waste to fertility and bsauty ; boanteous crops ; full granaries , aad aa abundance o f all tha physical comforts of life . These results of co-operatlre Ufa are entirely beyond dispute or cavil . Although the Shakers and their ways -are disliked and ridiculed by tbe great majority _«{ our ion-nab and iaflu * nti-I people , nobody here will _deay that co-operation , in its economical aspects , haa in their case been entirely successful ; and I think their worst enemies bave _eeastdte hope that they will' break up in a fight . ' or be scattered by toms special dispensation of _Provideace . A more inoffensive , temperate , hoasst , pbilanthropie sectl know not where to look for .

gave some account ofa German colony called ' _Ebentser , ' but whieh we shall net erfraer , as in the part before « s there is a much Ta * erer lengthy _accoent of the said _oommonity , written by the celebrated _Parlce Godwin * We give Mr Godwin ' sletter entire , and _reqnest for it the serious attention of onr readers It telle of the perfect success of Communism in Communism ' s best form , —social equality combined witfc individaal liberty , —the happiness wbie _& ' home' and 'family * can alone supply , conjoined with all the advantages of Community of property . Sere is this interesting revelation , a glimpse of tb * good time coming : —
a nsw _coam-inrr n akexic & . Sn , —Mj object is now not to _diicast the general question af community , bnt simply to give yots an account ofa new organisation that has recently come" io tay notice , aad whose history aad present condition furnishes a topic of appropriate interest . I allude tc * an associative village , which has been established abont seven miles from the city of Buffalo , and sat far frem Niagara Falls , called _Bbenszer . It is composed of a colony of soma one thousand Germans ; who , about four years siace , emigrated from Germany , where they were not allowed so free an opportunity of carrying out their pecaliar plana . They were sot driven to the _andertakine ; bv any civil or religions _appression , nor actuated
by any peculiar fanaticism , but simply bythe desire to lira a pure , spiritual , and happy life , if any of them were able te contribute from three to fifteen thousand dollars to the common stock , while one put in fifty—and another as high as a hundred ' thousand dollars . With , a portion of these fnads they came to America , and purchased above seven _tiaujand acres of Indian reservation lands , formerly balonging to the Seneca _tciba , but more recently held hy the state government . The tract i * _sircute la an exceedingly _fartileand picture-qua region , intersected by beautiful water-courses , and _agreeaaly _diversified by the varwtits of soil and natural formation . It is within reach of several very important markets , to which , by meaas of canals and railroads already in operation , it can hare access both summer and "inter :
Since purchasing their estate , these enterprising Germans have _alearefl completely and pnt in the best order , nearly live thousand acres oftheir land , _ereated a great many _tailea of durable fences , planted twenij . five thousand _fruit-treea ef various sorts , settled thr _. e compact villages , abont one mile apart ; each containing one hundred large and commodious dwelling-houses , some thirty or forty barns , of the largest six- and most substantial atrnctar * _. four saw-mills , which are kept con . _tant _' y running , one flour-mill , ona oil . mil ! , one large woollen factory , calico-print works , a ta & Berr , a rarielj f workshops for mechanic * , pnblic halls , and several sehoo _' _-tooses . Be « ide- these , they _possesa extensive herds of cattle and twine , their sheep alone umbering about two _thtu'and heads . Indeed , their property witk ita improvements is estimated to bs worth more than a million of dollars ; which , if divided , would give ten thousand dollara to each man , woman , and child oa the domain . Sueh are some ofthe internal advantages of unitary labonr .
Of course , this domain having such a large and effective working force , to be applied always at the right time , and with tha completest effect , is well cultivated . It is said to be tbe envy of the surrounding farmers , on _aeconntaf tbe neatness , order , and _snectta which attend all its operations . A writer in the Cultivator , oneof our leading agricultural papers , in describing their location , says , 'their gardens , yards , and fields , display refined taste , aad the highest state of cultivation . From present appearances , they act on tbe principle that to eat little and often ia batter than to overload the stomach at long intervals ; they accordingly sat uniformly five times a day , vis ., at half-past fire a . m ., at nine , halfpast eleven , three p m ., aad seven . AU cf a suitable age , both' msla ' aadfemBle , are required to work attach
"business as either tbeir taste , _cerriu * , or habits , asy render fit lnd .. whenaver , from any cants , suoh aa hangs of weather , or sudden ripening of a erop , aa extra number of hands ara needed , they ean bring fiftor a handred iato tbe field at once , with any requisite number of teams ; and thus enjoy great advantages in cultivating and securing their crops . By a rather mlnnta division of labour , each man , or group of men , ara aet to da ona thing ; to that order aad system are everywhere manifest , and nothing is wasted . In a high seasa , a place it provided for everything , aad everything ia fonnd in _itt place . Their cloth and other manufactured articles are made in the best manner ; and their farm operations crowned with ths highest success . *
The same writer / in the continuation of his aecount , proceeds to describe tbe various outbuildings and storehouses of this prosperous community . He says , — ' Separata barns , _spaeions and well ventilated , ara provided for horses , oxen , cows , yearlings , calves , and sheep . So that they are all sheltered in ths most comfortable manner daring ths winter , aad the apartments for the sheep are thoroughly whitewashed four er five times a year . Thus they promote health , aad increase the weight and fineness of the Seecs . Tha sheep are divided into parcels , each of which ia ia the constant attendance of a shepherd and hia dog , during the day in summer , and is driven np at night and huddled ; and the _laad thut manured by them during the night it , at tba proper time , town with turnips , & e Tha cattle are also kept [ in separate classes , each nnder the constant attendance of its herdsman , and driven up to the yards at night .
Then there are a series of barns , say 159 by _forty feat in six * , standing in a line , eight or tea rods apart , tha _whol-t lower part fitted ap exclusively , one for horses , another far cows , anothtr for yonn _^ eattle , another sheep ; another series standing in another line , and filled , some with hay , Others with wheat , others with oatn , barley , & o . & c ; and then again other ranges of buildings , enclosing -hundreds of swine ; and others still , to accommodate all the poultry belonging to tha community . Every stable for horses aad cattle has trenches to carry off the liquid manure into tanks , to ba thence conveyed to the growing crops ef the farm ; and indeed in all their barns and yards , the utmost attention is paid to making and _s-rring manure ; and their luxuriant erops bear ample testimony to its Importance , and the skill with whieh it is applied . Even tba _conrtaiencea of their houses have their vaults extended three
feet back , and covered by a lid bun- on hinges ; and the _ni-ht-soil—rameved by long-handled dippers—is used mast plentifully in the gardens . And such splendid heads of _briltl _» lettuce , such cucumbers , cabbages , beans , peas , and maize , as have been grown nnder tha stimulus ofthis liquid excrement , it has seldom been my lot to see . ' Ths testimony ofthis disinterested eye-witness is itsatf enough toprovethepraeJiJaJility ofthe external arrangements ; but I have learned from friends whs have visited the colony , that their internal harmony is no less remarkable . Thus far , their property is held in _eom-son , though any person is at liberty to retire at any moment , by merely withdrawing wbat he originally contributed . Ko intereat on capital is allowed , and of course none of
the profits of the eoneern are rtgar _. ' ed as belonging to I individuals . Bat , as yet , no parson haa made an appli . cation to remove , as all seem ao contented with their positions , that it la doubtful whether thev ever will have an occasion to distribute amy portion of their funds . One wonld suppose that , from the want of a direct per . tonal interest in tbe r . sults of their labonr , there would bs treat temptations to iadolsnca ; but it is said that this is by no means the ease . The difficulty is , not in getting the people to work , bat in restraining them from working at improper times aad _aeasons , so aa not to injure their health . The only provision made against the shirking oflabour by any , is the degradation ofthe delinquent into lower daises of labour ; but the governmeat have not yet had to use tbis alternative to a single Instance . All labour cheerfully , and in psr / ect uaion
with the rest . They have not yet erected any unitary mansion , most of the families preferring separate dwellings and households ; bnt their cooking , washing , and other domestic operations are done by divisions of tea families each , so at to avoid the _eonlusien of a large number on one hand , or waste and trouble of an extreme Isolation of families en the otber . The plan is found to work pretty well , though a large unitary edifice would doubtless contribute much to the economy , ease , aad emcieBcy of their
movements . . - i -. »_ The community Is a regularly organised tewnshlp , under the laws of the state , but being a Utt e _^ republic in itself , having its intarests concentrated within itself , it hat no inducement to take part in the general politics of the nation . Our hot disputes about ram _Hceasea , and no mm licenses , about tariff snd Tree Trade , abont war and _aati-war , do not trouble these men , who are Taappy in tha privilege of working directly for tha good of their fellowa , without the distractions of competition and selfishness . They are governed by a council wbo are annually _eleeted by themselves , who do _allthebuyinz and telling , and hava tha entire management of affaire . If either of them shoald bstray his trust , of course he wauld be rejected from office at the _nsxt elective assembly ofthe people .
The children are required to attend the schools , where they are instructed in all branches of _usetul knowledge , and in tha English and German languages . < _Thay are earefully instructed in their moral duties , though I believe no _spscific forms of religion are taught . The larger portion of the community are attached to the Lutheran Church , but do net insist npon Imposing it upon others . At morning and evening , the beginning and closeof their labours , public prayers are offered ; and religious exercises are observed on Wednesday afteraoens , and on Sundays . No restraints are laid upon freedom of marriage , as among the Shakers , throug h every caution is used to prevent the young from entering into that deep and awful engagement without due reflection upon Its issues and responsibilities .
Such is a brief afcetohof this yeung and important association , whieh begins with so much vigour , aud _whcieBWip _^ Mre . _wflatteriflf . Its hUtoryandpre-

A Night With Tht Chartists, Frost, Willi...
A Night with tht Chartists , Frost , Williams , and Jones . Wo notice this catchyenny publication for the purpose of warning our readers to keep their money in their pockets ; and , secondly , to express our _disgustat tba conduct ef ths author of this precious pro duotion . When we say' catchpenny publication , we do net mean that th ' s' narrative' is a string of falsehoods—far aught we know to the contrary , it may be very tree—but however true the author's statement may be , he tells nothing new . Hia narrative , is a mere repetition of the evidenee be gave on the trial of Frost , whereas the announcement led us teexpeot some astounding revelations never before published . We , therefore , denounce this threepenny worth aa a
cheat , a ' take-in , ' an attempt ta defraud the pnblic , for which both antbor and _pablisher deserve the condemnation of all honest men . But we have a heavier _charge _b * prefer _against the author ef this' narrative . ' We eharee him , en his own shewing , with having acted a cowardly and treacherous part towards John Frost , and that his object in publishing the rubbish before us , is to benefit him self at the expense of Frost and his fellow sufferers . The author a name does not appear on tbe titlepage , bnt his name is Bruff . lie was a brewer at Pontypool , and was at one time an intimate friend of Mr Frost's , and although apolitical _disagreement ensued on Mr Frost becoming a delegate to the Chartist Convention , their social intimacy continued . Brofi _* _s story is that he and a friend , being on a journey between Newport and Pontypool , _camesudd-nlyupon a body of the Cbartists who were proceeding to tbe former place . The Cbartists suspecting that Bruff
was no better than he turned ont to be , if not actually a ' spy , ' at least willing to do the dirty work of an informer , ' took charge ot him and his friend until tbeir arrival at the'Welsh Oak , ' when both were handed over te Mr Frost , who at once set them at liberty , and appointed an ' escort' to conduct them in safety beyond the reach ofthe much-dreaded Chartists . As soon aa' the last phalanx' had been passed , Bruff and Co . took to their heels , and after dodging about the hills for some hoars , at last ventured home . Once assured tbat his carcase was safe , Bruff immediately wrote to , and communicated personally with the Lord Lieutenant of the county , stating , like a base informer , all he knew , and perhaps _semething more . On the trial of Frost , _BrnfT gave bis evidence against bis former friend and benefactor , for Bruff makes out that bnt for Mr Frost , he ( tho informer '! would have been like Don Juan ( _by-the-by a much more respectable charaeter )' sent to the devil somewhat ere his time . *
Bran's treachery excited so much publio odium against * 'him that he soon found Wales too hot to be comfortable . He , therefore , had te leave the scene of bis ' moving accidents by flood and field , ' and has since then been dodging and scheming in different parts of the country , proclaiming his remarkable services to the government , and his deep wrongs in not having received some reward from the powers tbat be . We bave heard , on very good authority , that Bruff has more than one petitioned to be rewarded with a situation under government in return for his treachery to Mr Frost , but , hitherto , in vain , the government being unable to understand the claims of a cowardly informer . The Whigs being again in power , Bruff has
published his ' thrilling' (!) narrative , seemingly with the "hope of attracting attention to his 'claims . ' Whether tbe telling of his story be at all ., likely to prolong the exile of Mr Frost , for that Bruff cares not . ' Every , man for himself is the patriotic Brofl ' s motto . By way of propitiating the enemies of the Chartists , Bruff endeavours te show that the Newport affair was every way ridicnlons and contemptible ; hut when he hss to show off his own heroism , he spares no pains in trying to impress upon his readers the formidable character of the Chartist force . In thus trying to prove twoopposites he writes himself down an ass . The story of his heroic endurance _UB- _' er suffering and persecution is really
funny . First , he was ' surrounded by hundreds , perhaps thousands , of armed men . ' Next he was ' searched / He was kept prisoner for an hour or two , at what Sam Weller calls a ' pike , ' that is , gentle reader , a turnpike-house , where the venerable * baffer , ' the * pike-keeper , ' condoled with him and cried with him , and gave him a pipe of tobacco , and Bruff— -the immortal Bruff—absolutely puffed away at the ' dudeen- ' Here are his own words—the italics are his : — 'Ismohed it ! Yes , in that company , under the awful circumstances that then environed me , I smoked a pipe ! It did warm me —and , perhaps , never was a pipe smoked with greater gusto than was the short , bhekened , and often-used pipe that I smoked on that
memorable occasion . ' Oh ! holy M * ses ! here ' s a subject for a cartoon ! Talk of Alfred baking _bannoelrs , or _Marios ' _s ' meditating' in the midst of the ruins of Carthage—pshaw ! behold the immortal Bruff in the 'Marshes pike-house , ' smoking his blackened ' cutty . ' Here ' s a subject to decorate the new Houses of Parliament ! 'A good _ man straggling with the storms of fate , ' isa sight to call forth the sympathy ofthe heart that can feel for another . ' But Bruff enveloped in' baccy' Bmoke , with that' kind old fellow , ' Mills , ( the pike-keeper , ) crying over him , must have been a sight fit for 4 he gods , exciting even their admiration ! _Beliaariu 9 , in his misfortunes , was less a hero than was Bruff . Perhaps Prometheus is the
only charaeter whom we could venture to compare with our hero , but there is this vast difference _between the two ; Prometheus is merely the poet's idea of heroic endurance , whereas Bruff is a reality ( we will not say a real man ) , and no mistake . If proof be demanded , let the Whigs effer Bruff a place , be it worth only twenty pounds a year , and his tangibility will soon be made apparent . Bruff tells a cock-and-bull story of having been very nearly piked , shot , and drowned in consequence of an attempt he made to escape from his ' guards ;' but Bruff was under the care of Providence and so escaped . « I said to the villain , ' For heaven ' s take don ' t both shoot and drown me . ' Fortunately the rain had wetted his powder , and _}} 5 s gun did not go to think
off . ' We must any it was unreasonable of both shooting and drowning our hero , either mode might have served to give him his quietus . From this anecdote we are enaHed to understand the value of Cromwell ' s advice to his soldiers : * Put your trust in God . but always keep your powder dry V Na doubt Brnff haa been preserved for higher purposes . _; 1 hey who are barn to be hung will never be drowned , says the old proverb , hence it is easy to understand how it was that Bruff escaped tbo perils of water , steel and lead . With this conviction we look forward with perfect confidence to that day when we shall see a full length portrait of Bruff , _strikinglj original , framed in tke Old Bailey , and exhibited to iho _gaas ol thousands of his admiring contemporaries .

_"VnbnfvrtheMm _** . " _J _KI" » Mi—The canse of the working man fe fl subject that has long engaged general attention more or le-a , and many means have been adopted to 88-n ? i . _^ " _* » a * _'d » n !* likeafa ; r remuneration * But , hitherto , these means have terminated in general failures , invariably having them in a more hopeless condition than previously ; and now , on every hand , a lamentable and heartrending scene presents itself , and that , too , among every class of workmen , whose condition is infinitely worse than it known
was ever to be ; tbere are mere houseles * , comforllobB , destitute , and starving industrious artisans , than were ever witnessed before j and yet we have had our protective institutions , oar _eo-operativesocietie ? , and every possible means tint _eonld be devised have been tried at ; snd with all Wits , the great body of working men in this coantry have been sinking lower and lower in tbe scale of _soriety , _antu thousands terminato a miserable life , amid _wratand wretchedness , leaving their families to get a Irving the best way they oan in that world _tijat _' - _aepnved their fathers of the rights of labour . Thi * is a painful truth . & truth which no one wDl attempi to confute .
For this deterioration in the eondi _& m ef the workin- * classes there sans 6 be some _eauae , and someth _\ ngjjTaSiija % wrong _wid ' palpably inefficient in the plans _hwetefore adopted ! fer tho recovery of the righto of industry , and that causa may not be so much in the manner in which » noh _institntioas have been conducted , as in the nature of the institutions themselves . As we have before _stat'd , it is not in the nature of previously established societies to -jpap . pie with the antagonists of labour , and to _defend it from the aggressions of _oapifeifets . Thoy bare been too weak , sad built upon too- narrow and cirotimscribed a bum , and as seek * mast _necessarily f » i _$ in obtaining _therights of _thevforfcin- ; man . _Thefailures , we say , in _sesh _soeieties'arer mainly attributable to the contracted and _seetional ns tare of
thero . But to make the matter _morg'intellkible we will enlarge npon this _subjeet : and ? first—In local societies ' , as hitherto earned out , there Has bten an _ab'enee ofa general and recognised priiieiplo of organising and concentrating the _energiwof the great mass of the people for one common gooit Instead of being so , they have bees 1 divided and _aubdivided in their operations , thereby taialy attemptai- ; to resist the attaeks of manufacturers ; { they have- Sins been fighting with the wind , aod _eombating with the stiong and powerful , witb ihe weakness of children , and in consequence of their folly , capitalists bave visited them with _continues reductions ih ' wages , and all the horrors of starvation and wan t . Another point to which we may attribute- past
failures in trades' unions , is a waat of _sjmpaifoy of reciprocal effects and operations . There has not been that unanimity of feeling , that spirit of brotherhood , aisong the werking classes that ought to have been ; and that should bind their hearts- ' together , and prompt them to immediate and effective action for each other ' s interests and welfare . Wo have been led to look upon one another at a great distance , and known each other , as it were , only ih books , and in figures , and in statistical information , T-hen some government man has laid our condition before the country , having gleaned hiB knowledge of us , and of our oircumstances , from the manufacturers , and we know that that is net the purest source to gather accurate information upon the
condition of the toiling millions . But , however , Buch has been the way in which we have known and seen each other , while an impassable gulf has seemed to preclude all friendly connexion , and mutual co-operation between us . Our sectional exertions have obscured onr vision , and blinded us to the real identity ofour interests , the sameness ef our wants and sufferings , and that the remedy calculated to ameliorate the condition of one part of the industrious classes , would , at the sarao time , promote the elevation and independence of the other . These things we have not recognised , and in our conflicting operations for labour ' s redemption , we have been madly and blindly rushing on tothe very brink « f ruin ;
and from that fearful precipice , our family comforts , our domestic bliss , and onr soeiaVconeord , have been precipitated into an abyss of woe , of unmixed and unmitigated distress . This is a picture of tho condition of the great mass of the people , and to obviate whieh we have exhausted our strength nnd energies , and uselessly expended millions of pounds of our hard earned nance ; and as much more of our associated means may be thrown away , if we continuo to fight labour ' s battles inthe same disconnected , sectional , and _nn-brotberly manner . This plan is bnt a remnant of old customs which are fast _hastening to oblivion , making way for a system more rational- a system which Bhall be a developement of , and ia harmony with , the advancing spirit of the present
age-. We must now look upon each other in a different lichtthan we have hitherto done . We _^ _mustseein each other ' s face , claims for onr sympathy and aid ; and recognise in all tho ties of universal brotherhood , wbich must awaken in us a deep sense of our obligations and duties to eaoh other ; and call into our ranks a band ef independent , devoted , and energetic men , whose entire time and energies shall be given np to the improvement and thorough regeneration ef the toiling class ; who , in their turn , must actively co-operate with the leaders of the good cause , and a period to oppression , to tyranny , and to heartless cupidity will soon be fixed .
Snch is the plan that will do us good ; a plan tbat is national ; that takes in the whole working population . We must trust no longer to our local efforts , we mopfc extend pur operations , and in the spirit of true reciprocity , mutually assist each other _iti accomplishing that we have so repeatedly failed in doing , by relying upon onr . individual exertions . We say our operations must extend , our minds must extend , and our exertions for labour ' s rights must increase . Every man who earns his bread by the Bweat of his brow , in the three kingdoms , must be one of us . He must be induced to join the great confederacy , to recover the dues of the much injured and long insulted operative .
If we contemplate enrolling into this ' monster _asssociatien' every working man in the entire kingdom , may not oar operations extend te France , to America , and , indeed , to every part of the worldwhere the rights of industry are set at defiance ., and I the workman robbed and trampled upon by ruthless capitalists ? For , in every country oppressor * aro I the same , and are equally interested in degrading and depreciating the value of labour from which they are enabled to amass enormous fortunes asjtf by magic , leaving countless millions to writhe in agony and want . Cannot the injured and oppressed operatives of all elasses adopt some plan or mutual co-operation to protect each other from their common foe— ' heartless oppressors ? ' and could some plan bs adopted , we have- not the slightest doubt but that it might be practically and beneficially
carried nut . We see other societies and companies _, compassing sea and land , in every past of the habitable globe , for the execution of _tliair flam , and for the execution of tbeir object ? , succeeding , to a considerable extent , in their purposes . And what should prevent the working classes forming a ' universal league' for tho protection of industry ? Are they net all suffering from the same cause _?—i _e-, the crnspinj _* _. avaricious , and insatiable thirst lor gain , manifested by roillowners , factory lords , and capitalist * of every stamp . Does not- one bleed animate eaoh human being ? and neither time , nor distance , nor country , dime , noreolour , can sever their dear and close relationship . And forthe protection of each other's _riehts , and for an equitable diatnbution of the products of industry , may fchey not act in concert * Surely such a confederation would , in a variety of ways , minister to the emamcipatwn of
labour ! For _iastanee , we _shUl be able to extend our ; manufacturing operations by producing goads of _foreign consumption ; and upon a principle of mutual _exobanse , deal honourably with our- brethren across the Atlantic . Tho means of ready transit eould soon be commanded , as , by our hssociated pence wo should be able to employ our owa members , to build our own ships , to manufacture our own canvas , and evcrvthing _neccssarv for the completion of buoii au undertaking . And then we might be able to witness the working men ' s own ' swift sailing ships' proudly floating upon the ocean ' s surfaoe _, direotins their course on an errand of love , to distant shores , returning
freighted with good things , produced by our friends and _co-operators in other countries , to be equally distributed amongst their associated brethren here . These few words may ba regarded as Utopian , and totally _imoracticabJe . But , we weuld ask , do we not do all this for othera ? And do not others reap all the profits ot such enterprise ? Yos , we can carry out these ' Utopian' _operations for others , hut seldom think , or if we do think at all upon it , it is upon its boing impossible for ua to carry such plans eut for ourselves . The day , however , may come when the workin ** millions oi every land "Ishall be thoroughly organised for each other ' s mutual protection , and holds their annual or triennial conferences , to congratulate eaoh ether . ... , classes
In the meantime , let not tho working of this eountry omit the adoption of this principle of national combination for tho preservation ot oar rights . Let us carry out this plan in a manner , and with a spirit , that shall reflect honour upon _uv and confer permanent advantages upon our _children ; and this can only be done in proportion _^ as our _conBdanoe towards each other increases . We must no longer lode upon eaoh othor with _suspicion and distrust , but ba confiding and devoted % One heart , one mind , oue intention , must pervade and actuate the whole , and thon wo may soon expect to witncs 3 the triumph of our principles , i , _na recovery of our rights , and the total _extinction of tyranny in all its form - This work is rapidly going forward , and we I trust yet to see it consummated . To combine upon this national principle will at all times afford us the readiest means of making sur _iniurioi and wrong-tell upon the publio _mipu—to
"Vnbnfvrthemm**. " J Ki"»Mi—The Canse Of...
awaken publk attention and sympathy en oar behalf —and we _kaow thatit iaone of tho safest wa * f » , of effecting a ehange for the better . In carrying out this plan there are many difficulties to overcome , many obstacles to surmount . ' and a fearfulamount of selfishness to crush , which hitherto have _eonsiderably militated against tho interests and spread ef such a combination . Indeed there is nothing we have to encounter that is half st destructive to our well-being , as that spirit of grovelling selfishness tbat aims at absorbing all that others con * tribute , and making as small a return as possible . TiexnaxiDi appears to be , get all you can and give aa littia back in return as yeu tan . Snch a spirit is utterly destitute of good , and subversive of all tbat _fs calculated to enhanoe the happiness and independence of miserable and enslaved Britens .
We bsve had trades belonging to this Association who _have'sneceeded , by onr assistance and influence , in realising considerable advances in tbeir prices , and as soon as they had done so they have abandoned our ranks , and appear to forget tbat those who aifted them to rise now need assistance in return . But they turn a deaf ear to snch entreaties , and suffer their follow-men' to continue the helpless victims of cupidity , and wi ! 5 not stretch out one hand to _savo . Suoh conduct , _to-say the least of it , in base ingratitude , and richly _aerits another visit of the iron hand of oppression . Wc hope , however , that such trades will reflect upon this question , and see it to be-their duty and _tlmr interest t & resume the payment oftheir levies , asd . " aid us to mitigate the distress and penury of -heir _ill-falei ? brethren .
In conclusion , we say > be firm to your principle . Let no opposition turn ytsa from yourdiity . Let the sufferings and thoinjRries you have endured , and are yetf grappling with , rowe you to _rdubtfBlecF exertions to ' extend the interest _"* of this Association * , and thereby _ctfeate a power to dl > battle witb' our opponent * , and teach Iordlings and despotic that tbey Bhall no EMgar , with _impuniiyVtrifle with tne- poor man's rights-,, and with his children ' s bread ..
