XO MR . CHARLES GAVAN DUFFY .
Sir,—Standing Upon Your Superiorit Y Of ...
Sir , —Standing upon your superiorit y of rank or position , you have hitherto abstained from noticing the Chartist movement in England , otherwise than ! would suit the taste of your readers , and this course I was _ffiliiDg to _lattribute to the fact * that , like Others , you had seen the necessity of confining your exertions to the single question of Ireland ' s regeneration , a policy which , though _gbsurd and narrow-minded , furnished a p artial , though not a satisfactory , excuse for your ignorance of the _jpolicy of the English ChartL > ts . _:
Having , _however , discovered , from your letter to Mr Mitchel , that you had heen watching the Chartist movements , and that you had ventured upon the publication of your reasons for dissenting from their policy , I undertake to analyse that paragraph iu your letter which more particularl y refers to the movements of that body . You have left me ample to comment upon in your three propositions contained in the _ele venth _paragraph of your letter , in every sentence of which there is a retreat from _nationality to individualism ; because , although . ,
admitting the sli ght support that the national cause ol Ireland can receive from the adhesion of a few Landlords yeu have named , and that only to an extent wliich would serve their own interest , you are , nevertheless , prepared to p lace the national cause in . abeyance , your present policy heing to defer to the prejudices of the few who may he worth y in the upper and middle classes , while you acknowledge . both to be generall y and irretrievably _corrupt and hostile to the national cause . You admit the Landed Gentry to he without public spirit and -shockingly selfish ; yet ,
although " one swallow does not make a summer , " you would merge those general obstacles and disqualifications in the good to be achieved by the toleration of a few , whom you iiave named , and whose adherence to the popular cause but _increases the resistance . and _opposition of the great hulk of their class ; and you declare your hopelessness of winning them to nationality . How then . I ask , in the face of such a temporising policy , can you peruse your exciting poems , illustrative of self-reliance , and your fiery articles , declaratory of the principles of nationality , disregard of classes , and hopelessness of their conversion :
Your conundrum about the spirit and corruption , the meanness and valour of the middle classes , contained in your second proposition , is too deep te admit of solution , further than that you have . ventured to suppl y from your reference to 82 . ' 98 used . to be your talismanic era , your conjuring reminiscences ; but you appear to be sn hopelessly ignorant of the history of the most important era of that country to whose regeneration you were prepared to devote vour whole energy , that I cannot marvel at your _ignorance of the more recent history of _English events , at which you appear to " have been squinting since the birth of Chartism .
It is criminal in an Irish writer—and especially in him who assumes the province of leadir . s journalist * —to be ignorant of the fact , that the greatest blow ever struck at Irish liberty _^• _as the blow she received from those very middle and upper classes in 'S 2 , who halted at the change beneficial to their own order , and _refused to march onward with the national forces for the achievement of nationality . Perhaps you are not aware that Charleinont ' s answer , when called on by the volunteer soldiers , the Catholic army of Ireland , for a
'FULL , FREE , AND FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE IN THE COMMONS HO USE OF PARLIAMENT , " was , "That any change in the Constitution , advocated b y the Irish Volunteers , should be based upon the princi p le of PKOTESTANf ASCENDANCY . " _Ferhaps you are not aware , that , so great was the enthusiasm of an Irish Catholic
Volunteer named Kirwan , who kept the _si-rn of the - " Old Gust , " that he substituted for " Hircum , _' ' a full length painting of Lord Charlemont in his volunteer regimentals , and that , -upon learning the answer of the Generalissimo to the volunteer deputation , the said Ivirwan resolved upon displacing the Generalissimo and resuming the " Old Goat ; " and so anxious was he to testify his abhorrence of the G-ene--rp . l ' s treason , that , not being able to secure a new ' ' Old Goat" in time , he painted , under the reeiniental Volunteer General hooted and
spurred , " THE OLD GOAT REVIVED . " In your third proposition , y ou admit that the agric _ultural class constitutes the whole strength of the nation , and y et you are prepared to paralyse the nation ' s nerve , lest the developement of its united strength might g ive offence to the oppressor . Out upon su ? h rubbish . Surely you cannot hope to follow the old system of teaching and unteaching ,
of saying and unsaying , of exciting and subduing in one breath , of creating and destroyin ; :, of elevating and debasing . This is the system from wliich Ireland requires to be relieved , and never within the same space was there a larger amount of temporising pelicy _, or a more complete recantation of former princi p les , than is contained in your letter in reriii - to Mr Mitchel ' s honourable reasons for
a !; i ! : iloning your policy . In order that you may have easy reference to that paragraph in your letter with reference to Chartism . I hefe reprint it , — ' ¦ A nd I instanced t 7 : e Chartist more-merit in England as a casein point , _illustrating the _hvpeiess errors ofsuc ' u a course . When the Kn _^' ii _* : R :: dicn ! s first _flenwnje _. i the Cl .. ; riir , they impeded the Imv—b _? ld torch _lijlit rr . eet in _/ _5—ran up . iii the l > .: nks— i . _ltrrujited all _aMD'llies rot >¦ ¦ : ' . ' for Chartist _piiry _& _ses—proclaimed a » _inixo revolution , which never came-ami . finally , with substantial _Wjiigs to _La _redressed , and led by men , among _vrhom were some of the purest public virtue , fell into _division _ivi _weakness , which lasted for years ; a result whieh ti . dr own leaders now attribute t-i iv . _istokiH tactics , _anfl _fr-jin which they have learned the moral cf au altered at 1 more ddVjcra ' . iKC policy . "
_-lOWjSir _, you have ventured upon six _assertions , five of which are wholly and entirely frt ' : _> e . Firstl y . —The Chartists did not impede the lav .- ; they braved the delusive and capricious exposition of the law , and they preferred all the punishment that its unjust administration could inflict , to the surrender of their right to the fearless expression of their opinions as _guaranteed hy the constitution . They did not , and th ey have not , retracted in 1848 anything that they bad spoken , that they had written , or _subscribed to , in 1842 or ' 43—the years of your niost pompous _effusions . No ; they preferred the dungeon , solitary * confinement , and the
tre ;; d-wheel—solaced and cheered by their attachment to principle—to the surrender of th . it princi p le—until , after six skirmishes with the law in an eight days' contest at Lancaster , the law in tbeir person achieved a triumph over injustice , and from that hour to the }> _rescr-t , the law has heen pared of its extraneous f _' 'H _* s , and the free expression of public opinio n is not only tolerated but defies _persecution . Had the Chartists recommended the -aV . jlition of railways , and the interruption of tli _2 progress of military , troops , in 1843 , they would not so far have dishonoured their cause , a- > to repudiate the same princip le in 1 _SJ 8 . And had tbey p laced ' 9 S upon their banner * as ch aracteristic of a blood v revolution , no change .
rendered necessary by the expediency of _ciass , _would have induced them to strike that motto fiom their banners . _& _cono 7 i / . —Thev did hold torch-light roeet' •" --s , but of that the law was more tolerant _th _.-oi the proprietor of the Nation , _became its _^ pounders never considered it an infraction <' . * ny of the law ' s provisions . No man __ - o ; is Ku-ecutefl for attending a torch-lig ht meeting ; _« -. _ifrident occurred at a torch-light meeting ; _« 'hiie you appear ignorant of the cause which 3 _- to the ' necessity of holding torch-light " •'• _etirii-s . It arose from the fret of t . ' _ie _f'oe-tra-le manufacturers ( for the support , of _^ 'h _' jse cause one hundred guineas were paid torn , the impoverished Irish _Exchequer , ) bar .
Sir,—Standing Upon Your Superiorit Y Of ...
ring up and caging their slaves in thei ? i * _k - those hours _*» en th «' would have otherwise cheerfull y attended indoor _meeting ; the torch was tbe " silent monitor which struck terror to the heart of the oppressor , and , while it waved in the midst of property created b y the hearer , its unjust possessor had a wholesome respect for the ' life of him who carried it . Hence , neither soldiery nor police ever dared to interfere with those who had the arms of self-defence in their _pos-^ _fft . ? . _^ their slaves in thei
session . I attended those meetings with scarcel y any exception , and by their influence we were enabled to disseminate our principles with a rapidity which would otherwise have required years to accomplish . I have witnessed over 150 , 000 ahle-bodied men spreading over three miles of a high road in a _torch-light procession ; none bent upon the destruction of property , but all' simultaneousl y imbued with the notion that those who created it should not be alone destitute , outlawed , and persecuted .
"They ran upon the banks . " Foolish man , not onl y have they nothing to run for , hut such a notion was never entertained by them ; while you appear to forget the admonition of your great master , in 1833 , to the Irish people , to make a simultaneous run upon the Irish hanks . And , if such a course had-been considered-necessary for the accomplishment of freedom , would it have been as gTeat a violation of jus . " tice for a man to ask for his own money as it would be to destroy the property of another vestsd in railroads , or other property , as recommended by you ? In truth , sir , you remind me of the advocate who mistook the plaintiffs' for the
defendants case j as it was your new allies , the middle classes , that interrupted those meetings , where the principles of national independence were urged in opposition to a Free-trade policy , which was only calculated to confer benefit upon the speculating class . I def y you to point out one single instance where the Chartists interrupted a public meeting ; while you are either ignorant of the fact , or you have _forgotten it , that the Morning Chronicle and other
Free-trade journals exulted in the savage brutality with which the police were hounded upon those who dared to express their honest opinions—that those journals boasted , that , upon a working man rising to propose an amendment , he was dragged down by those bludgeoned rascals—maintained by his industryamid the jeers , the howls , the scoffs , the cuffs , and the kicks of the privileged order , and , after being maltreated , rolled in the gutter . Our motto was /* ' Hear if you are heard—strike
it you are struck , and as , in every single instance the Chartists constituted the majority at those meetings , will you inform us b y what law the minority were justified in _ill-treating them ? Tha Chartists of England are not compelled—and 1 trust never will be compelled—to submit to that dictatorshi p b y which the language and action of all are to be measured . Will you point out one line written , or one sentence spoken , by a Chartist during the most exciting years of 1837 , ' 3 S , ' 39 , ' 40 , ' 41 , ' 42 . or 43 , confirming the assertion that a revolution was proclaimed—that a revolution was advocated—or that a revolution was even
anticipated ? Have you so soon forgotten your monster meetings of 1843 ; your threats of defiance , your national courage ; the amount of p hysical strength capable of taking the field ; the manufacture ofa million pikes in a week ; and " Ireland for the Irish ? " Why , it was for the advocacy of this wild policy tbat O'Connell was compelled to denounce you ! and what a triumph your recantation has given to his
memory , his judgment , and his caution . You were then the stern opponent of all class interest—you are now the convicted panegyrist of _individual prejudice . Is this the way to teach a nation how to redeem her liberty , and will not the altered tone of the prosecuted Destructive alarm those who are now taught that they must unlearn their teaching and commence a new course of education ?
Mark , sir , what my motto was with regard to resistance . This was my teaching" Moral power is that deliberative quality within each man ' s mind which teaches him how to reason , how to endure , and when forbearance becomes a crime ; and should its fullest exercise fail to secure for him all those privileges to which , as a freeman , hd is entitled , and should physical force be required , WHICH GOD FORBID , it will come to his aid like an electric shock ; but the man who recommends it , is _either a knave or a traitor ,
AND WILL BE THE FIRST TO DESERT IT . " Now , sir , I may ask if tbe concluding words of my motto , are not characteristic of YOUR present position ? Finally , and lastly . ** _^ there was no division in the Chartist _^ 3 _^ . . J , which diminished its numbers by more ' thah the single deserter who preferred Free Trade gold or Tory _patronase , to the cold bone of Chartism ; and for
every individual who abandoned the ranks , there were thousands read y to take his p lace we could spare such shepherds while the flock remained in the fold . When five hundred leaders were consigned at one time to the dungeon , five thousand sprung up as if b y magic to supply their place—and hence we witness the novelty of a national army being able to supply generals from its ranks at . a minute ' s notice , while the loss of one in Ireland has thrown the national forces into
confusion . Can you show me any other national party in Eng land but the Chartist party ? Can you point out one single instance in which they have retracted their former opinions , or abandoned their cherished principles ? AVhile your Irish jugg le has been one continuous scene of fast and loose , hot and cold , y ielding and obstructive policy ; the Nation being foremost in the creation of unnatural excitement when there was profit in supplying the demand , and , now that Free Trade policy has _equalised trade , it is the first to merge into the emollient system .
The leaders have made no alteration in their _policy ; and , if they have learned wisdom from the past , it has taught them how to desp ise expediency , how to distrust professions , and how to guard against treachery . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , _Snip ' s End . Feaiwvs O Von son .

THE ASSES AND THE HORSES . The following bray is from the Cheltenham Chronicle . _Chaktkt Procession . —Yesterday morning some stir was created in the tovVn by the arrival of a _procession , _ttl-ich had be * : n previously announced in hand-bills as connected with Feargus O'Connor and " the People's _L-i-iil Scheme . " The train consisted of a number of waK"ons filled with household furniture , wheat , pota-• oes . Vricultural implements , and families of _settlors on _IhUr way to the Chartist estate at " _Saig ' s End" There were about _tliii-fv horses in the tennis-sleek , well conditioned animals , * but destined , we fear , to present a verv different _appearance after _underpins ? u few montU * -onucxiuii with the system of _O _. artist fanning .
A _„ -ses—Ynu could not haye brayed a greater number of lies in the same space . There-was not one bag of wheat , there was not one bag of potatoes , there was not one settler going to the new estate and ihe horses that were fattest and sleekest , were those that bad been btnsfest engaged In the drudgery consequent upon building houses for the Chartists .

Mr Tfnnm^Rvrnn «™M, Mro'coxn'nor's Scotc...
MR _tfnnm _^ _rvrnn _«™ m , _MRO'COxN'NOR'S SCOTCH TOUE ., I beg to assure my Scotch friends that I have onl y postponed replying to their several applications , in the hope that I should be able to pay a flying visit to the " Lando' Cakes , " but the fact is _^ that tbe absolute necessity for the closest attention requisite in the commencement of laying out a ne * estate , especially as to roads , sites , contracts , procuring materials _, and seeing to a fa ir atart , is so monopolising every moment of my time , that I am compelled to leave the _management of my own affairs to the integrity of a working man ; and I trust * when I inform my Scotch friends that my absence during the recess would not onl y have delayed our operations , but might have cost
the Company some thousands , that they will pardon me . There is another cause for rriy absence , which , though a secondary one with me , _would I dare say , be a primary one with them . It is this—that , from a fortni ght before the _Session'of Parliament closed , up to the week before last , I was utterl y incapable of undertaking a journey , while every week I was in _Ijopes of better . health ; in fact , I had an attack of the _influenza which nothing but the pure country air would haye cured . More _, over winter is not the most - fitting time to undergo transitions from heat to cold—and therefore , I place myself at the disposal of my Scotch friends tbe moment that release from
Parliamentary duties shall enable me to redeem my pledge . Feargus O'Connor .
Caution. To The Land Members. For The On...
CAUTION . TO THE LAND MEMBERS . For the one hundredth time I am driven to the necessity of cautioning all persons against the supposition that I can supply them with work ; and I now announce my resolution not to be influenced in the employment of any in dividual , except _hy-his capability . Sometimes thirty , forty ,. and fifty persons will call upon me for employment—some all but enforcing their ri ght as being members ; and to others to whom unfair expectations have been held out
I have paid money in various instances , amounting to a pound , ten shillings , or five shillings , and therefore this notice shall be conclusive , which js as follows : — " That all carpenters requiring work shall appl y to Mr Cullingham , foreman , - all sawyers to Mr Goatman ; allbricklay ers to Mr Jones ; all stonemasons to Mr Griffiths ; all labourers to Mr King j and carters onl y to myself , as ihe power of appointing to that situation I do not depute to any other person . ' _^ I will mention a
circumstance that occurred last Saturday . Two carpenters , named Wm . and Thos . Carter , who stated they had been recommended by Mr Doyle , came a great distance and applied for work . I told them that that was Mr Cullingham ' s department , and that he would be here on the following morning , and if hands were required , I had no doubt they would be employed . . These men were balloted for this estate , and because ' I did not think proper to put them to work forthwith , they went off in a huff and sold their two _four-acre shares for less
than a tenth part of their value ; however , to show even those refractory gentlemen that I can return good for evil , and that I am more solicitous about their welfare than they are themselves , I have redeemed their certificates —will repay the money they received upon them—and before the 1 st of May I will guarantee them 1007 . each for their allotments , instead of the pitiful price at which their hot tempers induced them to part with them . I merely
mention this fact , not thinking it necessary to give any the sli g htest exp lanation about employing or refusing to employ parties , in order that their neig hbours may understand the whole merits of the case . In fact , the most disagreeable part of my whole work is that of being obliged to refuse employment to those who apply for it ; while , were I to answer one in every ten of the long letters I receive asking for employment , my whole time would be
occupied . Another subject upon which 1 have to complain of is this—that parties write to me offerin ? to come here and take the several jobs at reduced wages ; of course I never answer those letters , for , although I am aware tbat the dismissal of numerous hands from the several railways has led to diminished wages , through increased competition , yet I am so far favourable to labour , that I have not , and shall not , reduce the prices previously g iven . _Feakcjds _O'Connou .
Irish Confederation. ((From The Nation.)...
IRISH CONFEDERATION . (( From the Nation . ) At tbe anniversary , _meeting of the Irish Confederation held in Dublin , Mr James . Leech , who represented the Confederates of Manchester , delivered the following address : — Mr Leech , of Manchester , was then introduced to the _meeting . He was very warmly greeted on presenting himself , and said . Mr _'Iraynor had told them that he was tin Englishman , with Irish blood in his veins , lie ( Mr _Leeeh ) had to tell them that be wis an Engli 3 hni'in ,. with _Ensltsri blood in his veins—( cheerB)—but there was little difference between the colour of the blood of an Irishman and that of an Englishman —( hear , hear ) - —and ho _thoucht there was little difference indeed in the
warmth of tho blood of _buth towards each _orheri ( Cheer 3 . ) They had heard something of English _manufacturers—he would tell the meeting wbatsonie of these men were—they would * flay two iats for the-one skin- ' ( Cheers and laughter . ) He knew them well for upwards of thirty years , and he could « afely say that they would sacrifice any interest for peMonsl gain . ( Uear . hoar . ) It waa this class ol men who sent members to the House of Commons to oppose the interests of Ireland , and not tho _kugelish people . The people of En gland werecaded on to get rid of the parliament so oonstitutedjust as the people of Ireland were called on to set a parliament of their own in Colli ge-green . ( Cheers . ) l'he hm _* - li * h people could well spare their present parliament , they could well afford to make this country a .
presentofit ; provided this country had no objection til the bargain , aad they would allow her Majesty to come with it to complete tbe transfer . ( Loud cueerO We would prove that a Repeal of the Union would _, lie beneficial to England aa well as to Ireland . I " Manchester alone there were upwards of 70 , 000 Irish men , women , and children , and of that number upwards ot three thousand were recemm _; relief , besides ei _^ ht or nine hundred who were in hospital . These people were driven away-from the land of their birth by persecution and misrule , and became a burthen on the English peopio , and on the Irish r _* si dentin England ; and it was only no w _ that _theEii _; . ' - glish peop ' e were _besinnirg to see their real position as _regards this country . llo , . as an _Englishman , would be ashamed to stand _bafora tho meeting that
night on the _ground of selfishness—no , he stoori there on the broad principles of _riqht which God had given to all raen to make laws lor their own Euidnr . ce . ( Cheer * . ) He was always an advocate for universal liberty , and he waa proud to say that e _ijiu years agi bo belied to get up a petition in England for universal ' freedom —( hear)—that _peti-- ion was signed by upwards of 3 , 270 . 000 _peoi'le ( Ilea ! -, hear . ) He helped to _pa-ito it _tOijetln'r , and il reached over three _milea in _lengtli , Ir , waa carried to the IIou 3 e cf Commons by eighteen sturdy English , Irish , and Scotch , men . ( Cheer *) It was for riie rights of universal mankind _th-.- . t he advocated liberty ; and he would continue to do so until Ireland

had a _Parliaosent of _herown . ( Cheers . ) Irelandvm in _tuuposition-she had no effective representation . She _wasjuattho same as if the _English members were * ent over to Franoe , where they would be overwhelmed with French and _Snanisb , and , of cours » , « ujd do no good for England ; and if the preBent Lnion continued , it would enslave ( as it had already ) not only tbe people of Ireland , butthe _Enelish people also . ( Hear , hear . ) Ireland produced bv h J r na and fodustey food afmokt * ufficient to feed the empire , and vet her people die of hunger in the midst ; of plenty . ( Hear . ) Such was theeffeotoi the Union . England was nearly reduced to an analogoua state from the same cause . England was & _manufacturing -country-she produced cloths for all the _% e _* _ftfe ? SM yet the Door artisan .. _. _..
was not able to put a WfrlSb _' ff'hlg own back , and while thepresent Union _cxinteTf _th ' ero would he no juotice for the _p-Hir man either _irr'triin country or in _England . He was a plain blvnt _Ens-lishraan , and he spoke plain truths- , hot _havirie any pretensions to oratory _^ but he e . uld tell the-raeetin ? . that if Ireland sought it properly , Rhe could gain much _asisstahcein her _strugele for nationality , by appealing to tho good _senBe of the _English _people—oajl on them to assist you and they will not refuse . Ireland would havo a p owerful _philanxintbepeople-of England , and the _English _government bad had . a ' taate of that phalanx before . ( Chi _> erg ) He was proud to have the . confidence" of thousands of Jriahmen " iri : Manchester , and ha ' d long heen a' _repealer—( _cheerg)—and be could
also say . thit nine ten ths of tbe people of _Entland had no power in chnosinz those who made laws for tham " . ( Hear , hoar . ) If Ireland was in favour of liberty , he would ask why not send better men to make laws far her . ( Uear , _betr . ) Liberty never _mn and never would be given to any nation until it first proved that it deserved it . It was in order to _inspire that feeling that be was there that night , and to ask of them to give up tbat _fenliBh cry that bad been alluded to about Saxon opposition to Irish ri g hts . ( Hear , bear . ) HuraWe . is he was he hud stood a trial of eight day sin Lancashire for vindicating the rights of man . ( Cheers . ) He _gained a victorythe government failed in the prosecution—the juries that were sent to try him and his associates declared
that they bad a _rfebt to meet irbereand _rrben tfter liked to proclaim their _wroncs , and _insistupon their redress . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) _Heboid them he had a richt to test the strength of English feeling upon the subject of an Irish parliament . ( Hear . ) A meeting took place a few _daya since in Manchester in a large room there , which waa capable ot ' . holding twenty thousand persons , and which was _filled upon the occasion to which be alluded ; and the resolute and unanimous vote of that _assemblage was in favour of the constitutional Repeal of the Union between the two _conntrias . ( Cri . es of hear , hear . ) Ho was present at that _meeting , and having stated that he would be in Dublin this week at the meeting of the Confederation , he asked , what _^ would he tell that
meeting ? Would he say they were unanimous to a man in conceding Ireland her rights ? There was not a man in the room who did not hold up his bands , and bo was sure that they would havo held up their less , too , if it had been convenient to do so . In or ler that tbey might understand tbat he was telling the truth , let them send overa deputation composed of _gentlemen in whom they bad confidence . You have such gentlemen . ( Cheers . ) You bave Mr Meagher , and Mr Mitchel , and Mr O'Gorman . ( Loud cheers ) Although he never saw any of those gentlemen until he came there , still he knew them well , for they were a reading people in England , and tbey delighted to lead in England what those men said and wrote . They had a larger meeting in England in favour of Repeal than they had in Ireland . The people of England have expressed a
desire that they would send over a deputation . That deputation would have the effect ef snapping that bond of union which kept the people of England and of Ireland from uniting in a league of brotherhood . Some would draw off the surplus population from the bosom of the country asu . cure for her evils . What is a surplus population ? Why , there is a surplus population in England . The surplus population of a country are the dronea which destroy the honey of the bees which their industry had procured . There could be no surplus population so long as there were lands whereon to locate the people , aad find them employment . It was tbe drones alone that were the surplus population . If the surplus population had only wisdom , like that little insect , they would not have to complain of tbe drones feeding on Ihe _ieasl of honey whieh their neighbours procured for them .
A Voice , ' Ne , no . Mr Leech—Sinee all men were born equal , who should attempt to destroy the _visbAa or liberties of another ? Un this principle , thoy never stopped to ask what advantage Repeal would he to Irelandthey looked upon the power cf a people to make their own laws a 3 a matter of right . It was a _question of right , and , therefore , they had a . right to have Repeal . Would not ths ' union of an entire people be better than the union of a class ? Popular rights must eventually triumph over the mercenary views of party . The Union was stolen goods , and the receiver is as bad as the thief . When one party
_steals away , and another party takes that which they had no right to touch , then is it stolen property . He was one of those who stood there as belonging to a class which stood up for tbe principle of equality in civil rights throughout tbe world—ho meant the _priuciplea of the Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho would not allow it to be whispered about that an English Chartist Btolo a march on the Irish people . There could be no prosperity until Labour was made free . He was one of that order who was honoured and respected _among his countrymen in _Etuland , _because he struggled to obtain the rights—tha universal rights , which belonged to mankind . ( Cheers . )
Rochester.—Robbkbt And Attempted Murdrr ...
Rochester . —Robbkbt and Attempted Murdrr —At the County Magistrates' _Office , Henry Bartlett and Jo _? eph Bartlett , of the respectiv e ages ol 80 and 18 , were brought before the Rev . G . D . _ivies and J . Smith , E ? q ., on a charge of robbery and _assault . The inquiry occupied a _considerable time , there being several _whnes-es in the case . The prisoners are the sons-in-law of James Henry Storey , ' landlord of the Lord Hill _heer-sbopjWe _.-teourt-street , Chatham , aud the off _.-nce with which they stand charged was committed on the night _y of Tuesday , the 11 th inst . The prisoners are notoriously bad characters , and were tried at Maidstone about twelve months since for robbing Storey ofsome silver spoons , of which they were convicted and sentenced to imprisonment . The
younger prisoner , on being _releasedfrom prison , has since been living with his father-iu-law , the elder one _occa-sianaily coming to the house ; and within the ' ast fortnight _hasalsobeen living there , but sleeping out at night . Shortly after eleven o ' clock on the night of Tuesday week , the house being clear of customers , the prisoners went from the tap-room into the bar , where Storey was sitting alone , his wife , the mother of tho prisoners , having left her home on tho previous day , inconsequence , as sbe states , of threats _u-ed by ber sons towards her . The younger prisoner asked Storey if they might bave something to drink _, _ti which he replied , they might draw whatever they liked . _Taeyoungrr prisoner then drew a pint of beer , and asked Storey to partake of it , which he did , and
then asked the son to go down into tbe cellar and turn the « as _ off ; saying they would then go to he i . Tho gas having been extinguisheuY _. Storey lit two candles , and the prisoners , having first secured the doors , returned to the bar , and ' bolting , tho door on the inside , demandedinoney of him . Storey told them to go to bed , promising to givo them a JE 1 . in the morning . They , however , _pmisted in their demand , and _said they would have £ 2 . that night , which he , how . ever , _> tiil refused to give them . Something was said between the prisoners , which Storey did not distinctly hear , but the younger one left the bar , and almost immediately returned armed with a bludgeon , from which it would appear the attack had been _premeditated , as he had been seen to wrench this
for-¦ _uidiible _veapon from a table in the tap-room at an _earfy hour in the evening , and one end of whieh it appeared had been shaped to the hand . Hiving a _;; ain secured the bar-door , thoy first knocked Storey ' s hat off , and then commenced a most brutal assault upon _$ m , striking hira several heavy blow ? on the head and face . They then rifled his pockets of about £ 3 . worth- of silver , together with a silver w _. itch . Storey begged of _tfcem for God ' s sake to spare his lti ' e _, aad called 'Murder' loudly . On this tne prboners ran into tbe passage , whero one was _hsard _towy to the other , 'Giro tis the pistol ; let us shoot him ; we shall either be transported or hung ;' to which the other replied , 'No , it is bad enough . ' The Inducts in the house bavins been _aroused bv the
cry of'Murder ! hastened downstairs to the landlord ' s assistance , when the prisoners , in their hurryto e 3 ape knocked one of the women down in the p ; _iisa » e , and , made off out of the hack part of the house . Mr Weekes , surgeon , was called to attend Storey , and he stated that ho found him with five extensive wounds < n the right side of the head , one of which was nearly four inches long , and penetrated to the bone of the skull to the extent of about three inches . He also found very extensive bruises and swellings on the left side of the head , the mht eye much bruised and nearly closed , ar . A the third _linger on the left hand broken . The prisoners made -no defence , and wero committed for trial at the assizes on the charge of robbery and attempt to murder .

The Government pretends to be afraid of an invasion by the French , which , I believe , is a complete humbug . They must have some pretence for strengthening the fortifications and _increasing the army , therefore they choose the old bugbear of the French are
coming ; ' but in ray opinion , the real _ennse is , that tbey are afraid nf the increasing power of the people , therefore tbey rake up the old cry of the 'French are coming' as an exouBe to build ; tbo . _«» _fortrespef _, and raise more soldiers , by which means the ? hope to stay the onward progress of Democracy .. Now , bro . _therOhftftist » , as il ia . against yon ibis underhand fire is directed , it is for you to be prepared . According to the old maxim , ' The way to he at peace is to bo prepared for war . ' Therefore , you ought to he prepared for rar , in case you are compelled te defend yourselves by physical force . Not that I despair of
obtaining our rights by moral means , but I contend that we ought always to be prepared . Look at Irel and , we _cannot tell how soon they may attempt to pass an equally villanous law in England . There fore , I propose , that all true Democrats s > hall learn the nse of fire-arms , and likewise the art of fencing _, the latter in particular Gad forbid that we should ever have to useour weapons , but it will do no harm , and may do a great deal of good . Recommending this to the consideration of all my brother Chartists , and _hopiny they will not be ( as I l-elieve they will m > t ) ' bamboozled' by the'French invasion , ' I remain yours truly , T .
