      ' _-. ¦« ' THBIE LANDLORDS . ; : . .. '' . . . T HEIR _DET « affiS AND THEIR RIGHTS . Thm i is no theme that has been more exhausted , no subj < _: ct to _wl'ieb -public , attention has . been more activ « lj" directed , ithart to a consideration as _ito-w / . _af _antbff duties , and mlhat thc rights , of ' 'the landlord class . It isnow snore than ten years _^' _ce-we ( in our _capacity of , _GaaatnTOUs editor of the _[ _WmeJSun daily _ _ria ' . vspaper , _upohithe occasion of _ColotaelBncEN , M . P . _jfe . Carlow , _^ eailling _^ the Irish people -savages ventmied to predict < thafc the day would eoesne . wiheh the . nonperformance of ithose duties devolving _oip « n the landlord class would . compel the savages . to-inquire ant © their claimtoitbose rights which _tbeyihave hitbectoibeld _, upon no 'better title . than _popularognoraase . and * savage _fotteaxanse . -

      Sisee . then argument , J * emon 8 trance , and titweat have _beenexbausted in _aasta-dandlord agitation . The newspaper press of every shade of politics has devoted ite _« sa 3 _unTiis to caution . or denunciation . | But advice to . the powerful is as *' pearls thrown _before swine . " 1 fihe landlords ' , strong in usurped rights , powerful iu the Commons , a » d _omnipotent in the Lords , preferred the adoption of tie Newcastle principle , that they had a right to do sniat they liked with their own , to ihe timely caution of _tliair friends , and to the warnu _^; voice of their foes . They followed the easier , but ihe more dangerous course , until at length the sutefciiution of laws the most savage , and of deeds the _mosi barbarous for tlieir natural duties , has led the publie mind to the consideration of the naore _comprehensisra question

      THE USE OP A _LANDIOM _) CLASS . ¦ Before we enter upon this important branch of our subject , let us take a short review of'what the land-i lords consider their duties to be . If duty consists in giving a venal support to the Minister of the day in all his schemes for the subjugation of labour to the will of capital , the landlords have performed their duty . If duty consists in the harshest administration of the almost obsolete laws of barbarous times ,

      the landlords have been dutiful . If duty consists in the preservation of wild animals and birds that are enemies to the poor , but delicacies to the rich , the landlords have been faithful stewards of their trust . If duty consists in after-dinner pot-valiahey , in which the rightsof labour are boastfully trumpetted forth , the landlords have pei formed their duty . If duty consists in distinguishing a sow for the number of her progeny with a reward of £ 5 , and the poor man for the hardships and privations that he has submissively endured for thirty years with a reward of £ 2 , tlie

      landlords have performed their duty . If , as landlords , to fleece their tenants , and , as politicians , to coerce them ; if , as representatives , to tax them nationally , and , as grand jurors , to tax them locally ; if , as jurors , to convict _. them without trial ; as yeomen to cut them down without mercy ; as magistrates to committhemwithoutlaw ; and , as ' guardians , _tosiARVB them without remorse ; if , as neighbours , to hate them , and , as christians , to mock them , be what is meant by the performance of duty , then have our landlords faithfully discharged theirs . :,

      If , upon the other hand , duty consists in just legislation , and the mild administration of law , in the protection of the lives ; the liberties , and the properties of those whose power they have usurped ; in the defence of the weak against the strong ; in seeing to the education of youth ; the protection of manhood , and the comfort of old age—have the landlord class performed any one of those duties ? Duties and rights can neither be inherited by birth , defined by law , nor limited by practice , but must be subject tothe varied circumstances , and even sudden changes , to which society . is liable ; and hence , what is duty to-day may be a violation _to-momw , and what is a right one day may be a usurpation the next .

      It may be a right , and perhaps a duty , to impose certain laws , conditions , and restrictions upon a population comparatively small ; while it would be a wrong and an injustice to impose the same laws , conditions , and restrictions upon an increased population , upon whom they must . press with ' increased severity . ' Such is precisely the present condition of the landlord class . They have inherited those duties and rights necessary for , and tolerated by , the unconnected mind of barbarous ages . Their prejudices and uncontrolled abuse of those powers have made them deaf to the loud appeals of present necessity , and the demand for further adjustment of the duties and rights of all . -

      It may have been a right to impose certain conditions and restrictions upon the uncultivated feudal vassals of barbarous-ages . It may have been just , nay prudent , to" stipulate that so much land should be arable , and so much pasture . The reservation of manorial rights from those who , were not likely to discover the hidden treasures of the earth may be one day tolerated as a childish toy or a cherished

      heirloom , to be transmitted from father to son , but the prying eye of industry may , as it has done , convert this harmless bauble into national plunder . In'olden times conditions , trifling in their nature , were tacitl y submitted toby the untutored public , while in _oitr day the very enforcement of those conditions has brought us _nour to the verge of famine , and at all times subjects us to the tender mercies of Jew jobbers , traffickers , speculators , and foreigii diplomatists . '"

      Mayhap the free trade reader has already discovered , in our reasoning , ample cause for calculating upon our future support in aid of his plan for _huniblinj * the landlord class ; but , on the contrary , we are thus particular in stamping with our strongest reprobation that policy which has satisfied the working classes with a mere change of masters , with the simple transference of duties and of rights from _dtoughtless loob y lsm to calculating rujianism . If we desire the Upas tree to be felled , it is not ivith ihe free trade axe , from whose every wound would spring ten thousand tyrants for every fool that it destroyed . It is by a public opinion that will be wise enough to a |» ply the great change to national purposes , and not by tbe enthusiasm of frenzied speculators , that we wish * Uie monster crushed .

      ' . Che working classes have ever been diverted from the jaursuit of one enemy by being _halloo'd upon another , until at length the ground has become so foiled that . tihey lose the scent -of the legitimate game . _Their-fame is thc possessim of power , not its mere ¦ transference from the hands of one party to those oi another ;; and the question with , them , in that struggle which is . « ow at hake between machinery and Land , isust-be , not which has _feeen the greatest , whicli the must . aotwe , which the most powerful opponent of thear -rights—buthow they oan get _ajsr-st and legitimate ' control over the one -cund the other—over the one which stanes them by over-production and , unjust

      . 1 distribution , _* nd over , the otlier which starves them ' by inot _^ pvodiustion , or what is the same , _tnsujeient _, production lor Hie _necessiiies of those for whose only use U tvas created . God gave the' Land to the whole - people , _and not ho the landlords ; and , . therefore , as . God , who made tfce Land , did not oreateiduties which may be inherited , -or rights which may -be usurped , and as upon the pro . per exercise of _tiiase . duties . and those rights their titlo is _saiS to depend , _! and , inasmuch as they have failed in tfee performance . of the one , and unjustly _monopolised and _injiuuot & sly stretched the other , we cannot , for the life . of as , discover THE USE OF A _LANDLORD CLASS . ¦ l ' -

      ; I The People. .. ' ; Tdeir Duties And ...

      THE _PEOPLE . .. ' ; _TDEIR DUTIES AND TE ' . EIR _SHJKTS . " It is as much the duty of a people to rebel against a corrupt House of Commons as against -, _v'tyrannical monarch . " Such is one of the duties of the people , as defined by Lord _BoLraoBnoKE , a _couRTitffi a . nda Tony . Itis , however , but one duty , and one in * he exercise o ' _fiwliicli there are _^ 0 many collateral contingencies , such as success or failure ; liberty or increased ' tyranny , glorious life or ignominious death , that we BhaU not select it for very close consideration or nice * criticism ; and for this special reason—because it is 1 a duty that tliere Is danger now in defining , Th « _i '

      much , however , we _wilIsay-: _* _Ae < _Houae , _w _, \ _wmonB i ' _B ' jmrupt _t _' _lmv & i corrupt , more corrupt- than any , Basse of Comn _^ s , t _bW _' bas _; ruled _^ _-d-sstinies of this once great . .. _-natio _^ _' bu _^ _iskffid . : ¦ ¦ : . ;•• _- . _ ¦¦ ¦ - _-- ! . v . _vr . _iEaving no taste , whatever , to be harakft before the wind ofthe nautical Attorney-General , we shall here _seket for animadversion some of those _dafiies in the performance of which there is less daager than is generally attached ' "' to the ' specific of tJ & e courtier To _* y Lord . We shall not introduce any . sectarian question , but shall -confine our . remarks to . what are : -man ' s ' social a » d what his political ! duties .

      _Marine social duties are . _iof an individual and . national charaater . As an _individual it is his duty to protect liis life , to repel force by force , to disable these who would'otherwise hurt or injure hira in confliet , and to slay . those who would otherwise take his life in strife . 'To see to the education of the youthful , and to secure _ithe comfort and independence of liis family . To do neact from selfishness , * . " * for the gratification of his own feelings or passions that would injure the future prospect , or diminish the future comforts , of [ those to whom he had given existence ; and though last , not least , to recognise no natural distinction whatever _between himself , lonel y and humble as he iaay be , and the proudest monarch on the earth ' s surface .

      Such are man ' s social duties asan individual . His nati onal duties are to see how he can best secure for himself and all others the uncontroled power of faithfully discharging tis duties as an indi <* idual ,. and the ruling maxim of his conduct should be—that when any one individual ofthe community is oppressed by the operation of law the whole community is also oppressed . It is his duty to make all requisite sacrifices for the preservation of those rights he does possess , aa well as to struggle incessantly for the repossession of those he has . lost ; and not less for the acquirement of such newrights as change or necessity may render indispensable , ' for securing to him his

      equal position in an altered state of society . „ , It is by the usurpation of new rights that governments control—it is only by the ' acquisition of equal rights that the people can resist . Reason points out the injustice ofa society consisting of different classes , with the respective rights of both defined , being varied from the original contract by the assumption of new rights by one section . Such is precisely the position ofthe British public . Their natural , nay , their legal , rights , remain pretty nearly the same upon the statute book , while the usurped rights of the other sections of society have rendered all popular rights a mere dead letter .

      Independently of the natural , the implied , and defined national duties of man , we should not lose sight of the great auxiliary , Expediency—a term which , though damaged by misuse , is , nevertheless , one of man's most powerful allies ; and as we shall presently show , the time has arrived when it is expedient that , each individual of the community should faithfully discharge those national duties , for the due performance of which he is naturally responsible . If , as is now generally admitted , there is philosophy in idleness , there is also criminality in apathy when the herald summonses us to action .

      The immediate , the most pressing , and the most honourable duty that the working classes can now perform , and tte most fitting time for its performance , is the duty that they owe to those through whose oppression the whole community has received damage . While we consecrate the memory of the departed , let us not forget the sufferings of the living , and , above all , let us not lose the opportunity which now presents itself of releasing them from that bondage into which the laws of oppression , and the non-per fotmance of national duty , has cast them . Hopeless as our expectations from remonstrance

      memorial , and petition on behalf of Frost , Williams Jones , Ellis , and others have been , we have nevertheless fostered and encouraged that enthusiasm , come when it may , which can alone convince our rulers , that , though absent , they are not forgotten . While we attached but slight importance to the pledges the professions and the promises of men who supposed their seven years' tenure of power in part depended upon popular will , we nevertheless saw the necessity oif jogging their memories upon this allimportant subject , and of reminding tliem that ' a

      reckoning-day would yet come . We had no hope from a new Parliament vitiated by the prospec of a seven years' lease , but wo have hope that in the hour of expiration that Parliament will grant to selfish fear what it has refused to stern justice . There were many who had high anticipations from the hustings pledges of those who declared themselves in favour of the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones : we had none , but we have hope , and confident hope , that such a change has come o ' er the spirit of their dream as will remind them now of that reckoning day which is at hand . ¦ '

      Farliament cannot last much longer . Let us test it in its agonies of death , and what in its strength it insolently refused to concede , perhaps , in its weakness , it may ostentatiously grant . To this end , and as Government has evinced considerable ombarassment by calling Parliament together at an earlier period than is usual , let ks see to tlic strict and honourable performance of" that duty whicli now devolves upon society—the duty of demanding the restoration of men who would have been hung if they had been found guilty , and who were transported because they were illegally tried . Now is the time , not for one

      unwieldy national petition which requires cumbrous machinery and considerable expense to get up , but for a flood of national opinion running to the fountain head in tributary streams from every quarter oi the land . We will do our duty—we will be prepared with petitions from every section of the metropolis , and , if need be , to follow the shadow with the substance—to the door of the House . Let the country do likewise . Let the hands of Duncombe be thus strengthened . Let him whose courage is equal to the task , —let him whose eloquence will give it force , and whose resolution will give it eflect , be the mediator between .-our wishes and our rulers .

      Let our petitions be Parliamentary , but bold ; courteous , but mahlyj arid then , should those who have been pledged to their restoration forget their duty when the reckoning-day comes , let us not forget ours ; and , instead of placing false hope in dishonest men , let us take vengeance for their misdeeds by hallooing Fbost in their ear , and hooting them from the hustings . While we have implicitly obeyed the

      injunctions of our leader , in not again petitioning the present Parliament for the People ' s Charter , we are under no bond , or covenant , not to petition in favour of the Exiles > -and thus will the people have discharged une of their most sacred duties—and , should they succeed , they will have re-possessed themselves of one of their dearest rights—the right of appeal from an unconstitutional tribunal to the judgment of the whole people .

      SIGNS OF TEE TIMES . CHARTISM . . -. We havenot space this week to do more than merely direct attention to the report of the very interesting meeting of London carpenters , which took place on Monday last . When we take the speeches and sentiments delivered at the above meeting , in connection with the apprehensions of our rulers— 'the increasing energy of the Chartist body—the renewed exertion on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jonesthe anxious , desire now to possess the Land—the _despondency prevailing . / throughout all . classes of

      ; _jjpeculators-the state of _Ireland-and tlie once more ntax . speck visible inthe west , it requires no great foresight to predict from sueh signs that some alteration , if not at hand , is expected . We have always asserted that { -lie calm of Chartism was not its grave , but , onilie . _contaary , was BcliooUtime .

      Chimes or the Land Hobbehs . —We find the following in the Cork Reporter : —A valued and respected correspondent has put us into possession ofa _uircura-. . stance which occurred at Fermoy petty sessions , that in our opinion deserves publie notice , and calls for explanation . A poor man , named Michael Leary _, kiln labourer , at Clondillane , was summoned last week to the sessions by Edward K . Carry , Esq ., as a trespasser , because in a moment of exhaustion he entered his . field to take a drink of water at a running stream . This gentleman is , we understand , himself a magistrate , and sat on the bench while the case was being adjudicated . The poor man was fined in the mitigated penalty of one shilling for his sup of cold water , and in addition to this he had to pay costs amounting to

      one shilling and sixpence . The Potatoe Disease . —When circumstances occur which affect the interests of society generally , it becomes the duty of every citizen to whom an idea occurs which may tend to remove , or at least partially elleviate a calamity , to step forward , and communicate that idea for the general benefit . The present state of the potatoe crop is of the greatest consequence , not only to this country , but to the greater part ofthe civilised world , and any step whicli could be taken to arrest the progress of the destructive disease which threatens , not only a paucity of that important article of sustenance for the ensuing winter , but lor years yet to come , would be of incalculable benefit . Many intelligent , practical , and scientific men have given their opinions tothe public on the subject , and laid down many plans for the security of such portions of . tke crop as at present appears to be untainted , and

      however they may differ in their remedies , they generally agree as to the cause of the disease , which they attribute to an excess of humidity . Whether this humidity has generated an insect invisible to the naked eye , as is _, thecase in mildew in wheat , I am not prepared to say ; but if it be so or not , 1 beg to suggest the following method , wliich forcibly strikes me as the most likely to succeed in being beneficial : —If the potatoes are upon very wet soils , let the dirt be detached from them when dug up , as much as possible , with the bands , using no scraping instruments , and then carried as soon as practicable to a malt-ldln , upon which let them be _5 piead singly j then let a proper fire be made with good coke under the kiln , the same as for malt ; let the process of drying be carried on gently and equally , keeping the fire at an equal pitch , and attending to the turning of the potatoes during the whole process ; and let this be continued till upon examination it is

      found that the greater portion of the humidity is dried up , or evaporated . When they appear to be sufficiently dry , let them be stored ( if room can bc found ) singly , or at least , as thin as possible , upon dry _straijt , and exposed to the air without covering , till lhe approach of frost renders a secure covering of straw necessary for their protection , By these means the superfluous moisture , which not only assists the progress of the disease , but produces premature vegetation , will be dried up or evaporated ; aud if there be au animated . . insect , the sulphuric fumes , emanating from the ignited : coke , would insure its destruction . —T . It . Sxaut , Markfield , 12 th November , 1840 . Admission or Documents in Evidence . —A very useful Act of Parliament , respecting the admission of certain

      official and other documents in evidence has come into force within a few days .. The act is the 8 th and 0 th Victoria , c . 113 . By various statutes now in being , documents are receivable in evidence , provided they be authenticated as prescribed , but the difficulty has been to prove that they are genuine . This difficulty is how removed , and from the 1 st of _November , all documents which arc now received ou authentication are to be admitted , provided they respectively purport to be sealed or impressed with a stamp , and signed as directed by any act made , or hereafter to be made , without any proof of the seal or of the signature thereon . Henceforth , courts , ifcc ., arc to take judicial notice of the signature of equity _. or common law judges _. attached to any legal document . Copies of private acts , journals ol

      Parliament , and proclamations are to be admissible in evidence . Persons forging a seal or signature , & c . to be imprisoned or transported . A document may , on suspicion of being forged or improperly sealed , be impounded . The act is not to extend to Scotland . The Editor of the Northern Star- presents his compliments to the secretary ofthe Huddersfieid branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , and begs to assure him that in those observations of last _iVeek , at which he feels hurt , that not the slightest reference whatever was intended towards him , further l \ inn as the medium through which subscriptions are received from the shareholders to be paid to the account of the treasurer . Indeed , so far from offering even a slight to Mr . Stead , we had always looked upon his

      acceptance of the _offioa ot secretary with unmixed pleasure . The fact stands briefly thus : —Mr . Stead having , till lately , forwarded his remittances to Mr . O'Connor , and that gentleman finding no entry from Mr . Stead in his list , and not having looked over _ths » t of the general secretary , came , as it now appears , to the erroneous conclusion that none had heen sent ; and Mr . O'Connor ' s only reason for investigating into the matter at all was in consequence of the following passage in a letter received from Huddersfieid of Tuesday ' s date : — "The devil is using his best endeavours to prevent the success of the Land plan , and has , for some time , been trying to dissuade the people from joining the Association . " From the notice in last _, week ' s Star , then , and the explanation now given , Mr .

      Stead will ' at once-see that the impression upon Mr O'Connor ' s mind was not that hehad neglected transmitting the monies but that the subscribers had neglected to pay up their instalments , and the secretary was merely mentioned as the medium of communication . However , if any , the slightest , affront could be construed by Mr . Stead , Mr . O'Connor begs to state that he regrets most sincerely having been the means of causing him a momentspain . To the Scotch Sharehot / _dehs of the Chaktist Cooperative LANn _SociETy . —As many sums of money arc announced in our second edition that do not arrive

      in time to be . published in the earlier one sent to Scotland , it may hot be uninteresting for them to know that during the two last _wetks the recei pts have exceeded £ 432 . We though that this intelligence might be gratifying to our Scotch friends . The Land , TnE Land . —We beg to-acknowledge many valuable communications from llochdale , Cheltenham , Warrington , London , Dewsbury , Huddersfieid , _WooU ten-under-Edge , Cirencester , and several other plaees the substance of whicli shall be faithfulW laid before thc forthcoming Conference , while it would require more time than Is at our disposal to give a separate answer to each .

      The CoNFEUENCE .-We cheerfully assent , and we are sure that our brother directors and delegates will also assent , to attend a public meeting at Manchester , on _ luesday evening , the 10 th of December . James Savot , W _ i _ . KiNGTON .- _ T he Poor Law Amendment Act was introduced by tho Whig Government , in _ 18 . 3 * , during the administration of Lord . Melbourne . KEnmEY . —We are quite alive to all contained in his kind letter , and he may rest assured that his cominu-_ meation and advice shall not be lost upon us . E . « ., expresses a hope that Feargus O'Connor will be ready once more to take the field when famine and depression of wages takes place . Mr . O'Connor has always been in the field , and he trusts that he will find E , < J , itfoere also . Thomas Tattersal . —As there appears to be a desire to learn the true situation of this young enthusiastic and

      much injured man , I beg leave , for the information of tbe Victim Fund committee to state , that I know of no individual in the Chartist ranks who is more _deserviii " of public support . When enthusiasm was valuable I believe his was real and sincere . He suffered more by the betrayal of . others than from his own want of judjr ment . He bore his incarceration with fortitude aud re turned with exhausted constitution , but unimpaired spirit , to his . politieai devotions . The poor fellow is nowaffheted with a running abscess in his back which renders labour almost out of the question , and his present life a burthen , and yet his devotion to Chartism is as fresh and unladed as when he was its youthfu en ! thus * ast . c , and eloquent disciple . I thought tha I had made a proper selection when I presented him wth S _?^ iv rCin tl , e Land S _^ iety , and I haveonW _truits , and that till his day comes he will , as he oupht \ 9 be , provided for out t _> f tk _« fund iu i , a „ . fc _Feabgus O'Connor ,
