• _jO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . _jfv Deak- My Osly Friends , t am S « inS *? , write 5 'o « the history of _nijB ° _WN T , MES ; not of the Edwards , ! i » He nrrs , tlie Jameses , the Charleses , or the _rLrii _«* s-: -e ' P y' _useless _BLOCKHEADStf hose names are Preserved as pegs to hang L events of their times upon—stop-gaps , lest _Lieshouldbe an empty space in the country ' s
I I have chosen this subject for the purpose _. i _dr awin ? vour attention to the faut , that the _0 _Japfe- nttA not monarcns or tn « r rulers , have i _L a _« ed even * important change noted by hisi Sans , and to prepare you for the greatest i- Amvs e of all which is now coming—1 gay the i _l atest of all , because it will be universal . I , le t-in with thc American revolution , and shall ) confine myself to events of which historians > j _> AllE not yet write in their real character . _1 Tlie American Revolution was the origin of [ lie French Revolution , and was the recruiting of
g _^ _fiiiit the "IRISH VOLUNTEERS . ' ' T Tne revolutionists of France were all-powerful , __ as were the Irish volunteers , fro m the terror _] that combination struck to the heart of the I Eng lish Cabinet and the English oligarchy ; 1 but both revolutions-the physical revolution _< of France and the moral revolution of Ire-1 laud—f ailed to confer the anticipated benefit i upon the SOLDIERS , although the officers
t lad more than their full share of plunder . * The revolutionists of France did undoubtedly _i destroy some great grievances , but they failed to confer upon the peop le that political power which could alone preserve the advantages achieved , and the result was the creation of a im'Iitary despot , whose first ainr was the _supnression . of the very form of government , to support which power was conferred apon him . NAPOLEON destroyed every Republic that he found in existence , depopulated the fields to recruit Ms armies , and made the women of
France work in the fields and be guardiansof the homesteads , while their husbands were triumphing over the very principles for which France was roused to contend . In Ireland , CHAR ] JEMO _^ T , _tand his gang of plunderers , sold the * soldiers ' when they had frightened the English Cabinet into those terms which gave to their order the representation and entire patronage of the country ; and when the Catholic soldiers asked CHAR . _"LEMONT to march forward for the FULL , FREE , AND PAIR representation ofthe whole people in the COMMONS' HOUSE , the answer of the TRIUMPHANT PROTESTANT chief , who had made his terms with the English Minister , was— "I WILL
CONTEND FOR NO CHANGE WHICH DOES NOT RECOGNISE PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY AS THE BASIS OF THE CONSTITUTION . " Now , what think vou of the reply of the PROTESTANT GENERAL to his _1 CATHOLIC SOLDIERS ? and alwavs bear in mind that the Irish _" cosus belli' was PROTEST ANT OPPRESSION of the CATHOLIC PEOPLE ; aad vet the poor Irish have heen told , over and " over again , that CHARLEMONT was a name to CONJURE WITH—Yea ,
verily , it would call up DEVILS . The French Revolution led to the Irish Rebellion , and Arthur O'Connor and Lord Edward Fitzgerald were deputed by the Irish Directory , to make terms with the French Directory , not , as the English Crown lawyers interpreted the act , for the invasion of Ireland by a foreign army , but to assist the Irish in destroying the power of the English oligarchy in Ireland , and to destroy the tyranny of the Protestant church in Ireland , and above and hefore alL to secure lor the whole people
a full , free , and fair representation in the Commons' _Hotxse of Parliament . The government , of course , had their spies , and your gold was lavished to precipitate the revolution , before Ireland was prepared for it . However , to take the rebellion as a fact , it injured rather than served the . Irish people . But now , mark the results . The success of the Americans led to the French Revolution . The French Revolution compelled the English Cabinet to make some slight concessions to the Irish Catholic voters . The Irish Rebellion led to a
union -with . England , upon the understanding that , in St Stephen's alone , away from angry passions , could the grievances of the Irish Catholicsbe calmly discussed , upon the pledge of the English Minister that one of the first acts of the _Vnited Parliament should he Catholic Emancipation ; and there were also eight Articles of Union agreed upon , every one of which has been violated over and over again , and what _was called Emancipation was deferred for twenty-nine years , and then only conferred honours and places on the rich , and left the pour _precisely where they were , with this difference , indeed , that they were saddled with two sets of plunderers ; they were compelled to ccrry double .
But I am showing you , not the good that has heen done , but the terror out of which changes have sprung , and that the good invariably stopped at the leaders' doors . Lord Grey straggled for the Reform Bill for forty-one years , bat it would not have passed even when it did , but for the THREE GLORIOUS DAYS as they are _' called , when the French deposed a FOOL , and substituted a KNAVE . I now turn to the events which circumstances
promise , and that right speedily . Tiie Republicans of France . are once more in the field , and the King of the French is preparing his soldiers for the struggle , and the press of the King _islprejiaring the public mind for the action which the King is resolved upon . If he ean preserve peace at home , and if the republicans can he made a successful FEINT or buggaboo . he will have his camps of domestic observation while heissmoothingthe way for his son to the throne of Spain , and . as I told you in 18-43 , this is the _conunencemeat of the struggle ol the LEAGUE OF KINGS against the
LEAGUE OF PEOPLE , and I write this letter to warn you of the FUTURE by the PAST . You must be noodles if you are not convinced that your rulers will have a finger in the pye : and you must be dolts , if you do not feel assured that French diplomacy , which is based upon the FOUCHE SPY SYSTEM , will be set to work here in ENGLAND and in IRELAND , to attract MINISTERIAL AT TENTION to DOMESTIC CONFUSION , while the FOX of FRANCE is playing his old game . A change , and a great change , . will , e ' er Ion ** , come from abroad .
FRENCH MONEY and FRENCH
SPYS , RUSSIAN MONEY , and RUSSIAN SPYS , will he the agency by which LOUISJ PHILLIPE and NICHOLAS will fig ht the English minister ; while I , the _REVOLUTIONIST and _DESTPOjC TOR , am the first to caution you against the secret _t-nemy . Nay more , some of our quondam friends will be found in the FRENCH and _ItUSSIAN RANKS , and HIGH
PERSONAGES WILL BE ENLISTED . BUT YOU , THE CHARTISTS , MUST ADMITOF NO FOREIGN QUESTION , OR QUAERE S OR DISPUTES , BEING MIXED UP WITH TOUR CAUSE . IF YOU DO , YOU ARE RUINED , UNDONE , AND DESTROYED . THINK OF HOME , AND ONLY HOME , AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT MAY HAPPEN ABROAD . BUT GIVE

To Mb. Crow, The Editor Of The "Daily Ne...
TO Mb . CROW , THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY NEWS . " Sir , —As I am not acquainted with your christian name , I will take the liberty of styling you "Jim /' I here reprint a hit of what you doubtless intended as a "LEADING ARTICLE in your THREEPENNY GO ofthe 19 th . Once forall , let us make the matter plain hy a _reference to facts , which our friends in the Irish _popa ' ar party cannot deny . We need not go beyond tbe Southern Reporter ' s own locality , the county of Cork . What kind of representatives , we ask . have the repealers of that great county sent into
Parliament since 1832 i By a srreat majority they elected tbc fantastic adventurer , Fear-jus O'Connor ! Tbey ¦ -elected nin in preference to _libtrali ol tried character and known worth . Fur bis _csllea-jue they selected a gentleman of excellent private character , but without auy public talents , and with a fortune as moderate as bis abilities—a IU 03 t respectable 11120 in hisown sphere of life , but utterly ridiculous when dubbed " koight of the shir .- "—Mr Sundish Barry . For nine years that gentleman was member forthe largestcounty in Ireland , and those acquainted with
the House of Commons can testify that he was a mere nonentity . lie sat in Parliament for a _Beries of years , and never exerted himself further than to say ' -yt ?_* or " nay . " A gentleman wbo considers it a mark of social di tinction to call himself 4 Doctor , " who feels that his personal rank is increased by that prefix , has now been returned by the Cork repealers as member for the first county iu Ire / and ! Feargus O'Connor , _Staudish Barry , Doctor Maurice Power—are these , for .-ooth , the kind of public men best suited to the _exigencies of sueh a _a-waun try aa Ireland t
Let ns not be told by the repeal apologists that we are exacting too aristocratic a standard for the Irish members . We have no aristocratic prejudices to gratify on snch a subject If a man of rank and fortune , without ability or public virtue , aspire to the senate , he _ouaht to be 8 _trenu'iu--Iy opposed , in our opinion . The large estates and the ancient _pedigree of Mi-Edmund Burke Roche , one of the members for Cork Co ., by no means atone for that gentleman ' s indo fence and want of talent . Mr Roche was absent
from parliament daring nearly all the session in this eventful year . The dying O'Connell made an effort to attend the legislature , while his _younj * and healthy c * _'lea- . ue remained in Ireland attending to his own affairs . Mr Roche ( bdraund Bnrke—save the mark !) at the end ofthis session delivered himself of an attack on the " Irish party" in terms so unjust , that he was rebuked in the House of Com _msns by une nf his own party . Now . just as we ob ject to a firebrand iike Feargus O'Connor , or a mere cypher like Standish Barry , so do we demur to the election of a notorious politi <* al sluggard like Mr Edmund Burke Roehe . The famous patronymic of this gentleman , borneby one of snch feeble abiiitias . presents as ludicrous a combination of ideas as if we heard of William _Shakspeare Sibthorp , or Isaac Newton Ferrand !
Sheridan once said that "he was too poor to afford dressing shabbily , " and in the same way _Ire-antl cannot afford such a class of representative- ) as the _Feargus O'Coanow , Standish Barrys , Burke Roches , tt hotgemis _oome . If Ireland were a eountry with a self-reliant population like the Scotch , she _niicht be comparatively indifferent a * to her mere political representatives , but , in her _present position it is a matter of the last importance to give political power to none but men qualified to wield it for the
advantage of her people , and to reflect credit on their _CuUntry by their intellect and conduct . _Notv , sir , you came out as a liberal to edit the Experimental Press of Bradbury and Evms , two stationers , and here I give you a bit of yonr liber alism . In tbe paragraph preeeding those I have republished you say , _"** We have no faith in the quantity of acres or gold a candidate mav possess , but , as SOCIETY is CONSTITUTED , it is almost ; i matter of necessity THAT MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE INFLUENTIAL CLASSES . " Now , then , friend Jim , what will the world think of your liberalism . Acres and gold confer influence ; you don't care for the acres or gold- ; but you must have those who possess them , Man alive ! go back to where you have picked up a smattering of what you believe to be political knowledge , or
confine yourself to the counter of Bradbury and Evans , but don't , Mr Crow , because you happen to have a 'gilded goose quill put into your hand , write yourself d _« wn for an ASS . * What do you know about the county of Cork , of Ireland , or Irishmen ? You upstart knobstick . ' who is tlie "fantastic adventurer ? '' the man who refuses gold , place , and honours for his convictions ? or the man who sits placid , and hears and obeys the following orders ?—
Bradbury : "Crow , our politics won ' t answer , the people are too poor even for threepence a day . " Crow : " Well , what ' s your wish ; shall we be less liberal , tr what think you of moderate conservatism ?" Bradbury -. " Well , really I ' ve not made up my mind , _hiit Til consult . " Crow : " We 1 ' . let me know the result and I'll act according ly . " Now , Mr Crow , barring acres or gold , is that the description of INFLUENTIAL M __ N _ . vou | want _foraa M . P . ?
To Mb. Crow, The Editor Of The "Daily Ne...
You lately said that Mr O'Connell regretted having forced me upon tbe constituency ofthe County Cork . Boob y ! I made the constituency , and , on my second election , O'Connell and all his relatives worked heaven and earth to _throwfme out . In 1833-4 I gave him a taste of my INFLUENCE and independence , and in 1835 his bosom friend , Major Macnamara , was on my committee , and voted black was white to unseat me . I'll tell you a fact , Jim . In October , 1832 , I met O'Connell at dinner at Dr Baldwin ' s . I had never seen him before , and he then said , « Well , Mr O'Connor , you have undertaken a task that no other man in Ireland would attempt . You can ' t succeed , but you'll give the aristocracy a tremendous shake . "
Now , that was O'Connell ' s aid to me . In the same month he was invited to a public dinner , got up to assist my election , hut he refused to attend . Was that help , Jim ? I returned his son John against all hope for Youghal , and Jacobs against hope , _whenO'Connell despaired , for Dungarvan . And hear this , JIM-FOOL CROW I never took even my TRAVEL : LING EXPENSES from any man whose principles I approved of , and I never , worked for any other , and when O'Connell offered me a huge bribe to go over to Carlow as counsel for Raphael , I declined the GOLD and the HONOUR , Jim ; BUT THAT'S NOT THE MAN YOU "WANT . You poor stationers " tool ! mind your clipping and your prostitution , and allow MEN TO DO MEN'S WORK . Yours , Jim , FV a unite O'CnvNnn .

PruioobiNitdbe AMD _Ehtaii , . -- England , though a monarchy in name , is an aristocracy in fact , by the barbarous and feudal laws of Primogeniture and Entail . A privileged order command tbecbiff power ofthe State . They cannot but rule in the spirit of an order , and possess but little sympathy with the mats of tbe people . Tbey cannot feel _thaat for the people government chiefly exists ; and that for . them tbe nobleman holds bis rank in trust , and that to them he is indeb . ed for all tbe wealth be possesses . Such an aristocracy , secure of a monopoly in land and power—making class laws , _prott'Ctin- ; the interests of the rich , and sacrificing the interests of the poor—bas a direct tendency toneutralize the power of the Democracy , and are antagonistic to the _progressive nature ofthe age , devouring the national resources , to support the younger branches of their families , supporting iniquitous Game LawB , profitless colonial possessions , expensive naval and
military _arnaments , costly police establishments ; to ensure rent and po * ver for themselves , and check the growth of civil and _reliuious liberty in Europe , The law of primogenture , regulating the descent of property . calls aloud for reform _, and some Idea of the good _effa-cts likely to follow by an _abregatioa of tbe laws of primo garniture , and entail , may be formed by the following quotations from _Sismondi , suppotted by the most intelligent minds of the uge , "it is computed that there are at thi present day , three millions of families in France , who are absolute masters of the soil wbich the ) lire upon , and tbis , supposes fifteen millions of individuals ; THOS THESE IS KOBE THAN HALF OF TUE NA . TIOS rEBSONALLY , AND ON IIS OWN ACCOUNT , INTEBESTXD IN ALL TUB B 18 HTS OF TUE _COMMUNITY . The multitude and physical force art on the same side with order ; and if the present government Should fall to pieces , tha masses themselves would _b-isten to establish another tbat would protect property and order . "

TO _THiXBLECTORS . AND NON-ELECTORS OS THE BOROUGH . OF TIVERTON . ' Fellow _Countrvm-jn . —A general election be-! ing about to take . place-M venture to announce to you my _intension of soliciting the honour of your suffrages for the representation of your borough iti ihe ensuing _parliament . Factious partisans have _^ Ialiourcd to impress the Ipublic mind with ' , the idea that the forthcoming _^ election will be . merely an insignificant contest of _individualsj _. ifl _which _cfinfest " principles" will find no place . / ,. on tin - contrary , am determined-at

That a . thorough _, radictl reform of the existing system is- imperatively n . tcessary _, is abundantly proved b' yv the condition of i Vie people . Throughout Great' Britain , enclosure . _Xcts , game laws , poof laws , and other , wjcjked _enactments have reduced the tillers W the soil to a worse physical condition , than that o £ :. Russtan serfs or Cuban
slaves . In tbe mairofacturing districts , and t 0 ffn 8 _generally , the great majority o f both skilled and unskilled . lal ) our * n > are underpaid , under / ed , wretchedly clothed , horribly lodged , -And subjected to all th * . _deprivations and humiliations of " the slavery of poverty . " In Ireland tht triune progeny of clas 8 , leg ' s _* atioii , _~ Famish , _Disuasb , and Db-8 _**^ , liftthairTOices " trudipet-to . Dgued" against the _- presenuyatehii . and combine to declare thc in . competence ot our present «' rulers" to any longer govern that , land , _.
_Jhcforeigii policy of the ' pre ' sent a dministralion has _heewiuinow . . p tlie cause of freedom , and disgraceful to . _tiu ? abarac _. terof this country .. By basely crouching _beJbse the confiscators of Cracow , and trampling upon the independence of Portugal , Lord Palmerston ( one of your present members , ) and his colleagues ., have successfully laboured _ti -win for England the contempt of tyrants , and the f _= atrcd ol the _oppressed of every land . Our fathers knew not such dishonor when Cromwell held the reins of power , and Blake commanded Old England ' s wooden walls .
Lastly and principally , a Radical reform is rendered urgently needful by the existence of that monster evil , from which has flowed all other evils , the exclusion of six-sevenths ofthe adult male population from all participation in the'appointment of the members of the ( so-called ) " Commons" House of Parliament . Electors and Non . electors Op _TlVEnTON * . _—** 1 shall appear before you as the advocate of the full
and free _npremdation of ihepeople in Parliament , as the great means to the many reforms absolutely _noa-essary for tbe elevation of the _aiassei and the safety of ilm St ;;!* - , This reform of thc _repfe-ii : t ; _. . ation I hold to be •¦< a * . * first importance , not only as a measure of n ' _glil .

be imperfect or _deluiivf : ; ¦){ little or no ' n ::: _e ! it to tne people . For these reasons I am for the thorough and im mediate reform of the House of Commons , by the enactment of the great principle of UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ; together with those necessary aids , —Annual Parliaments , the Abolition of the Properly Qualification Payment of Members , Equal Electoral _Districts and , ( as being _necessary
in the present state of society , ) Secret Voting by Ballot , I consider it unnecessary to set forth } n this * Address , " argum-nts in support of these principles , —principles which have been advocated _, through tribulation and persecution , by the noblest patriots of our country . They arc the principles which were long ago expounded by Mtiir and Gerald , Cartwright and Hardy , Hunt and Cobbe . tt ; and which embodied in the document known as
THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER , have within the last lew years , received the . sanction of millions of the inhabitants- of the United Kingdom . On the day of nomination I shall be prepared to prove the superiority of each and all of these principles over every nostrum that may be brought forward by quack politicians aud counterfeit legislators . I shall be prepared , on personally meeting you , to set ' forth in explicit terms my views on the minor questions of the day * . - " Education , " the "State , Church , " "Taxation , " the "Poor Law , " the " Game Laws , " Diminution ofthe Hours of Labor , "
"Sanitary Reform , " the Standing Army , " and the " _Condilion-of-Ireland Question . " On all these questiu tis £ shall be prepared fo advocate such reforms as will ensure to the people the fullest political freedom , mental cultivation , religious liberty and social com . fort ; combined with tiie strictest , economy and responsibility on Uie pan of the Government . On one question , however , at present attracting public t " is _~ cussion , I think it well to , at once , state my views . Op posed , on principle , to Church Establishments of every description , I would , of course , give my _utmost opposition to any scheme having foi its object the endowment oi the Roman Catholic Ckm'lm .
Repudiating the views of tbe advocates of" permanent and universal peace , " which in the present state of the world I think visionary and impracticable , I would nevertheless oppose all wars and " interventions , " except those which the voice of iho . _psople might pronounce absolutely indispensable for self-defence , or thflproteclion of the weak against the powerful I would labour to put an cad tu the : alliance of this country with despotic governments ; ; and I should con sider it my bouuden duty to urge t the claims ofthe _peoj . lc of Poland , with the riew of ; promoting the speedy restoration of the- nationality * and freedom of that cruelly persecuted , and _longsuf- - _fcrlua race .
I would labour in a !! things to wake JUSTICE 2 the one object of this country ' s legislation and pub- - lie policy : " Do _rjito thy brother- »* a _« as thou it _imiltlest thy brother man should da unto thee , " " should be the rule of every act , legislative and d executive , of this country ' s government . By this is principle I will stand or fall . By it my principles es may he _understand , and every _refoan in Church -h ami State 1 _a'bocate measured . Whatever is in in ...... » i _ i * T"I _* l _* _if » VT * T TTrn _*** _« _*** of

The '' _bit-hyJut reforms" and nd pretended " -pWl & fttlrtojjio ameliorations " hawked : <* d about by - irafiickiiig politicians should be scouted by by the peo _" ril 3 . For my much-wronged countrymen , en , the _wording classes , I ask simple JUSTICE . I _viisK'ishi no _mose , and I will be satisfied with no less .
