That index , or rather reflex of Ministerial _jnjnd , which some weeks ago hinted spmething _-hout an extenaon of the Suffrage , now tells _^ { hat there is no need for Parliament meeting at aU ; that there is nothing to be done ,. _* ffith a le exception of legislating as to the most _jjon omic mode of burying the dead ; and as to the National Debt , the Times tells the-people , _^ t THEY CONTRACTED it , and , of _foui se , THEY must pay it . ' . I " . "
However , as the postscript of a lady's letter j s _always the most important part , the ; Times , in its postscript , speaks ludicrousl y of the protectionists' power , and what may be the Protectionists policy ; while you must _remempgr the _focW THE GREAT * FACT' _* — { bat the organs of a party always treat the policy which they most dread with the greatest levity . Apart therefore from the prophecies or anticipations jjof all parties , and their organs , I will attempt to foreshadow for you truly what is likely to be the result of the coming strugg le . i- . .- _-, — . _-S-jSpSfe There is nothing more _' plausible than for
one party _* ° arrange the affairs of " another party ; but it is very difficult to satisfy the other party with that one-sided arrangement : and the Money-lords and Free Traders will find it very difficult to _persuade the Landlords and the Protectionists that they are the most fit and proper arbitrators to decide in the action now pending between the owners of land and the labourers ; for , depend npon it that , _^ exhibit it as they may , according to their se veral interests—this is THE _QUESTION to be solved , and the question which must be solved , and for the proper solufion of which I have been long endeavouring to prepare the national mind .
I therefore tell yon , in contradiction of the p lacid prophecy of the Tim es , that you never witnessed such contention , strife , and struggle as the next Session of Parliament will present ; and that you may be prepared for the struggle , I will put you in possession of the " dodge , " and it will be based npon the very same policy that has been invariably adopted by the emp loyers of Labour . The straggle will he between Protectionists and Free Traders , and the antagonism of the
peop leto Protection will be used as thestrongest element of Free Trade power ; and , as of yore , vonr power will be negatively and not affirmatively used . Your opposition and hatred to feudalism and its legislation is natural , bnt then you -should base your power—and not the power of a still more interested party—npon its rain ; for I tell you again and again , that the landlord , if inclined to be a tyrant , could only be so every half year , —npon rent-daywhile the employer of lahour could be , and is a tvrant , every hour in the day .
I -well understand the difficulties against which a , man has to contend who places himself in opposition to powerful capitalists , who command the action , if not the mind , of the dependent millions ; and who command , the Press , that in a great measure directs that mind . During the present week , I have visited Leeds and 3 rt " anchester , the great hives of Yorkshire and Lancashire . I never witnessed
a better feeling , nor I never experienced a more cordial or hearty welcome , and I learned that trade was never better ; and mark me , when I tell you , that whatever tinkering and patching there may be during the present Session , it wBl be "basedupon ihe prosperity of tiie conntry , and the satisfaction ofthe people . And the moment that prosperity vanishes , satisfaction will vanish also ; and then the dissatisfied people wUl revile me and others , for not using their power when they were unwilling to use it themselves , when it might have been beneficially employed . Let me now take a general view ofthe question of Free Trade as applicable to the hired _lahonrpr _. I will estimate the rent of laud in
Great Britain and Ireland , at a much higher amount than it stands . I will put it down at seventy-five millions a year , and I will presume that by Free Trade it will be reduced to fifty millions , iiat is , one-third , or over thirtythree per cent , is knocked off the rent . That would amount . to twenty-five millions a year , to compensate the farmer & r the redaction in the price of his produce , while the wages of the labourer would be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the price of his food . Now , upon the other hand , I will suppose , that there are twelve millions in the three '
Kingdoms who live by their labour , and I am much under the mark ; and I will presume , and I estimate it lowly , that the employers of those labourers would , inconsequence of Free Trade , reduce wages by sixpence a day ; and in many cases , mechanics , artificer's , artizans , and those who are now most highly paid , would have their wages reduced by more than a shilling per day : and it is a low estimate to presume , that when Free Trade comes into fell operation , the wages of the agricultural labourers will be reduced from twelve shillings to nine shillings a week , which is sixpence a day ; and if you take tiie reduction of the twelve
millions at sixpence a day , which is much below tiie mark , you will find that upon the year it amounts to _"IJINETY-THREE MILLION SIX HUjSDRED THOUSAND , or forty Billions a year—more than the whole of the taxes of the country . But as I am determined to submit tlus question of labour and dependence to you in such a way that your opponents shall not suppose that my statements are exag gerated , youmust understand , that if the wages ofthe labourer is reduced by even twopence a _aday , or a shilling a week , the reduction would amount to thirty-one million , two hundred thousand a year .
-Now , then , let me ask of yOH—if those who use your labour for the purpose of manufacturing the raw material , could , or would consent to . 4 * . reduction of "SESETY-THEEE MILLION , SIX HTOJDRBD THOUSAND , or even of THIRTY-ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND upon the _manufactured article , on the contrary ,. while . the scarcity of the raw material , which is now spoken o _£ would reduce your wages , it would increase the price of the manufactured article ; but I am almost in despair of ever bringing yon to understand the Labour Question , bo -ong as the partial satisfaction of one trade , places those belonging to that trade in opposi , tion and antagonism to their less fortunate brethren .

the Protectionists , and the moment the battle _M won—that feudalism is put . down—rents reduced , and landlords made . paupers—you will then see the BLOODIEST CODE OF LAWS ENACTED TO SUPPRESS THE POWER OF THE DEPENDENT LABOURER ; for believe me , that as selfrihte ? rest is the basis of human action , the _mbhe _^ - * lord will defend his power over labour wifl _£ as great , and greater ferocity than the . landlords will defend their power over land . And it is for that struggle , which , believe me , is at hand , that I am now endeavouring to marshal the working-class mind of this country .
Do not be led away hy the enthusiasm manifested at public meetings , or by thepredictiqns of an interested press , for rel y upon itj tliat the power of the Commons is now transferred to the Lords—that the Lords' House is almost solely constituted of landlords- _^ -that they will abandon all political strife when their property is at stake—that they will resist some measure ofthe Commons—and , if Parliament is dissolved , then yon wiU see platform enthusiasm and press whimsicality , wholly and entirely demolished b y Protectionist votes ; ahd . it is to avoid the horrible revolution that would
assuredly follow such a result , that I _swn ; pre paring you forthe coming _struggled ' _... _Jjjj _& iii _** .... - "'" "' When the Reform Bill was _carried you were roused to madness , npon the presumption that the destruction of Toryism meant the ascendancy of the people ; Avhile the first act of tho Reform Parliament was to pass Coercion Bills ; to declare political unions—that elevated them to power—illegal ; to acquiesce in the illegal transportation of the Dorchester Labourers ; while at Nottingham and Bristol , many who were roused to madness , were sent by thenfriends to the gibbet .
It was so with Free Trade , while we ( the Chartists ) always opposed the mockery , and declared ourselves VERITABLE FREE TRADERS—that is , for free trade in _halation , to make free trade in corn a national benefit instead ofa class speculation . The Irish landlords have had the first taste of Free Trade ; and now you will find that Lord Glengall and his associates , have discovered the value of British legislation , and are adopting a REPEAL OF THE UNION ; and depend npon it , that although poor Ireland was the first to get the smack of bad legislation , that England will have her taste , and that ere long . They were in a position to stand the experiment for a few years , but they are not in a temper to bear the inevitable results .
You hear the absurd nonsense spouted , that Free Trade has not had its fair trial , and that corn will yet rise , and that the rivers of foreign countries being blocked up with ice , will prevent the foreigner from sending his produce to the English market . What rubbish—what rank rubbish ! Do not these nincompoops know that however it may be detained for a season , that it will come when the thaw comes , and will be stored as a competitor against English produce ? and while they are telling you that Free Trade will not permanently reduce the price of British produce , I tell you , in the teeth of all such prophets , that you
will see corn below 30 s . a quarter , ere longas all the countries in the world , where land is cheap and transit is cheap , are preparing stock for the rich market of the world . And let me repeat what I have before told you , with regard to this competition . Here—at Mark-Lane—stand two bags of wheat ; _English and American . The buyer first opens the English sack , and out jumps a crown , a mitre , a crosier , a parson , an ecclesiastical commissioner , a general and his stafl " , an admiral and his stafij a poor law commissioner , a
policeman , a spy , a detective , a poor rate collector , highway rate collector , mistress of the robes , grand falconer , master of the horse , master of the buckhounds , groom of the stole , and all the lords in waiting , for their salaries : next he opens the American bag , and out jumps the little President , receiving 5 , 0007 . a year , and the whole Governmental staff receiving 16 , 0 ( KK , a year—being altogether , for President and Governmental expenses , only 1 , 0007 . a year more than the Lokd-Lieutenant of Ireland receives as gaoler general of Ireland .
Yon may ask me if the land bears all those taxes tbat I have referred to ? I answer , that whatitdoesnot positively bear , its owners , holding the control of power , have imposed npon the industry of the conntry ; and therefore I repeat , what I have stated over and over again—that what I wish to see is , tbe Land measured by State necessity , and not by Political patronage . I wish to see it brought into the retail market ; and in order
to prove to you that the folly of to-day may be the the wisdom of the morrow , let me give you the following extract from a letter of Mr . James _Pxm , one of the principal managers of the Dublin and King's Town Railway , to Sir John Romil y , the English Solicitor-General . After detailing the value of Small Farms , he comes to the necessity of granting a cheap and unexceptionable Parliamentary title . Here is the extract : —
The proposed establishment has arisen out of the conviction that the first sale of land under the Commission will form an epoch in the history of the landed property of Ireland , and that a rare exception WiU now and then only prove the truth of the general rule ; that no one trill thereafter purchase land in Ireland unless it possesses the vast _advantage of having a _Parliamenta ** y title . From that period , land , for the first time in Ireland , becomes a feir subject for legitimate mercantile traffic : it can be purchased readfly , and above aU safely ; it may be divided ana subdivided , and again disposed of in suitable lots to meet the views of all classes of purchasers , and transferred bj a simple , safe , and short convejance , and the advantages wliich _wfll be thus derived appear tome all but incalculable . _
.... Now , if , in addition to all these advantages , we shall be enabled to offer to aU purchasers the option of paying down only one-half of the amount of their purchase , retaining the whole of their remaining capital in their own handsfor the following two years , in order to enable them todoamplejusticetotheir land , and then spreading the repayments over the long period often years , it appears to me something more than probable that prices wiU be thus obtained for land very far beyond the present expectations of the numerous croakers , who are always to be found where difficulties have to be met . It has come within my own personal knowledge , professionaUy , that many ofthe Irish farmers and small dealers , " obbers in cattle . & c . & . ' . have saved rather large sums
for _thsir station in life , from £ 500 to _^ £ 3 , 000 . Many members of the game family have each weir separate investment . The disposition to accumulate appears to me to be contagious . A large proportion of this class would be delighted to be enabled to invest their savings in land , if they could meet with a purchase suitable to their means ( hitherto utterly unattainable ) , arid that , they were not likely to be made parties to a suit in Chancery , or which they entertain some suitable feeb ' ngs of horror ; but give such men as these the opportunity of making a moderate purchase , without risk and without uncertainty—enable them to retain sufficient capital , as I have already said , to do justice to the land , and by * " * rsevering industry , with strict economy , to convert their farms into fee-simple
estates , and I do most truly believe that a social revolution in Ireland , of the most desirable character , and without inflicting an injury on any one , would be ultimately effected simply by aUowing aU parties to avail themselves to the fullest extent of those advantages which their capital , their industiy , and their economy fairly entitle them to . As an interesting confirmation of this theory , permit me to recall to vourrecollectioa the facts which I mentioned yesterday , in reference to an estate in the county ot Wexford , of about 480 statute acres , which some years since became the joint property of several young ladies , who were recommended notto hold so small an estate jointly , and they consequent !** arranged to have it sold .
Upon this determination becoming known to the tenants , a deputation waited on the _went and requested him to have tlieir respective farms valued , and that _ if he would _«* ive tbem time tliey would toy and complete , the [ purchase The interesting offer was liberally met ; a feir , but full valuation Was put on each form ; each tenant paid down whathe could then spare , and the result nas been that twelve out of fourteen have completed their purchase ; the others have so nearly done so that it b a matter of difference whether the money or the interest be paid-and what has been the result I This estate , or rather' these estates ,

Bave lately been carefully inspected by , a most intelligent wen-Mown English Member of Parliament ,, who has , since his visit ; stated tome that , whether for _carefuTcultivation , nr personal comforts , he lias seen nothing at all like it in Ireland ; and that it Stood out as prominently from the well-known barony where it lie * , as that barony does from the rest of that fine county . ' . Now , could I , or could any living man , furnish yoii with a stronger or a more unequipcal proof of the difference between the value _© _fland cultivated b y free labour _, arid _Slave labour .

TO THE UNLOCATED MEMBEES . My Fkiends , Very much against my own consent , bat at the desire of the honest men of Snig ' s End , who have been vilified by the GENTLEMEN upon that estate , I deem it my duty to submit the following as their defence , together ¦ with , the extract ftom the Mancfeesfer Examiner , which they have also forwarded . Here follow both , and my reply shall be very brief indeed .
TO THE UNLOCATED MEMBERS OF THE _NATIONAL LAND COMPANY ., . ' Respected Friends , —We are again compelled to address you , in consequence of the following letter which appeared in the Manchester Examiner , ofthe 12 th inst , signed on behalf of the allottees of Snig ' s End , by R . Jarvis , chairman ; and intended to be an answer to a letter of ours , inserted in the Northern Star of the 5 th of the same month . We pray your careful perusal of this very choice production .
TO THE USL 0 CATED MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL _LASD COMPASY . _Fmejds , —It is to be regretted that we should so soon again be called upon " to give more facts relating to the management of this precious Land Company . We trusted that we had laid bare sufficient to have awakened among you a spark of inquiry , enabling you to find out the rest yourselves ; when , lo and behold ! up step Messrs . Cunningham and Doyle , and their array of six vindicators , and _presenttojw _* , through the Star , one of the most dirty-begotten effusions tbat ever sullied the pages of that paper . We wUl , in the first place , make you slightly acquainted with the said vindicators . Mr . _Geoige Guy , a smith , baring a constant birth at Mr . Waite ' s _, Gloucester , receivins ; from 20 s . to 25 s . per week ; he got possession of his allotment without consulting the Directors . Mr . "William Blackford ,
dealer in old clothes , rags , & c . ; this individual has resided here but a few weeks ; he first lodged with an allottee , and beini- of an _inquiring mind , he soon found out a poor fellow who wanted to leave , as he could hold out no longer , and for a mere trifle ( some old clothes forming the principal part ofthe bargain ) got possession , without ever consulting the Directors . Mr . Joseph Smith is a tenant and an original allottee , and seems to be playing this part in order to shake off his landlord , Mr . John Moody , a carpenter , who bas worked on all the estates , nnd was the last to be discharged - be has lately got possession of an allotment somehow , one that had no previous oirner ; but not without the sanction of the "directors . Mr . Willis has purchased a two-acre allotment , but not yet paid for it . Esther Elizabeth Willis is the aioresaid ' s daughter . The prime movers in this affair are—Mr . Doyle , a Director , in receipt of £ 2 n
week from the _Comipany , who has done notliing but superintend his own farm since the Conference , which consists of a four-acre allotment and three acres of meadow land ; and last , though not least , Mr . Cunningham , the celebrated foreman ofthe works , who has been in the receipt of £ 215 s . a week , besides the ic , ic . He holds a _tiro-acre allotment by right of purchase ; he alse has the two acre * attached to the school-house , and a meadow belonging to the Company . Nowfor the consistency of Mr . Cunningham . Itis a weU known fact , that he has created tlie utmost contempt for . the character of O'Connor amongst the allottees here , and now has the impudence to state that his confidence in Mr . O'Connor has not in the least diminished . The following statement was mads a short time back by Mr . C .: —He said he had been written to for the purpose of getting silk flags , banners , & C ., ready , at a very short
notice for the demonstrations . Peeling rather alarmed at incurring the responsibility of so extensive an affair , he wrote to Mr . O'Connor ( tben in London ) , inquiring where or how the silk was to be ordered , hinting at the same time at the heavy expense . The answer be Jmd back from Mr . 0 'Con _« nor was , 'D—n the expense ; you must get tbem ready . ' Mr . C . on receipt of this , ordered the silk , and had men working night and day , writing and gilding the mottoes and inscriptions . The silk mercer brought in his account , it was sent to the directory ; no notice being taken ofit . Mr . Cunningham was applied to again , who referred the mercer to Mr . O'Connor himself . Mr . O'Connor , on being applied to , denied all knowledge of the order tit toto . Of course the onus feU on ' Mr . Cunningham , who made a journey to London in order to get it rectified , and the weight laid on the right shoulder . He got laushed at for
his pains—was . asked by Mr . O'Connor * What he would have to drink V and ' was a fool to trouble himself so much about a trifle like that * It was a short time after this fuddling interview with Mr . O'Connor , that Mr . C . was relating this narrative , when he wound up his tale by exclaiming , 'ByG—d , if be plays with me much longer about thisaS ' air , 1 shall be induced to unfold such a tale with Tespect to this Land . Company , as will prevent his ever holding up bis bead in public again . ' Tins is one of many little anecdotes ofa like nature , which have served to extinguish anything in us like respect for O'Connor or his train . It is perfectly disgusting to us to witness the industry displayed for three days by Mr . Cunning _, ham , in trying to get signatures to vindicate O'Connor , and damage us in the eyes of the country . What can the meaning of all this be ? Why , to perpetuate still
further that system of fraud and plunder from _interested motives , which we are determined to expose and destroy if possible . We state again , that it is our determination never to become tenants at wiU to O'Connor , as we are convinced Quit not a penny paid to bun is ever intended to reach the shareholders . We have stated to you before that we are willing to ' come to an honourable arrrangoment , ifybuwU but set about managing your own affaus ; and we feel that , rather than receive opposition from you , we ought to claim jour assistance , for our means are too limited to enable us to battle fairly with O'Connor , tlie Star , and tbe numerous hangers-on , who are eagerly striving to pluck their poor and confiding countrymen . Mr . O'Connor has been charged by us with representing to
the auditors appointed by government—with mis-stating to a large amount , the aid money paid on this estate . He has never grappled with that charge ; why has he not ? It appears , also , by an investigation at Minster , that the aid money has ben overstated by 330 " . Thus it is that tbe great ' O' claims you as his debtors ; the auditors hating no ether material but his word and his bankbook to go by , gave bim credit for the amount , and conld not _vexy weU do otherwise . We are fearful of encroaching further on that portion of the columns of the press wbo nave so kindly rendered us assistance , and therefore we abstain from saying more at present— . And we remain faithfullyyours , The Auottees of Snio ' s End . ( Signed ) K . _Jauvis , Chairman . Snig ' s End , January 9 tb , 1850 .
Friends , —We are certain that no man who is not blinded by the most wilful and perverse prejudice , can perceive in the above filthy , vulgar , and unmanly diatribe , the least attempt to meet any one of the arguments adduced in our epistle ; on thc contrary , our opponents studiously avoid even the semblance of grappling with them . Why wc ask have they hot fairly and honourably attacked our statements ? Simply , because they were stubborn and unconquerable facts . ' ' \ Again , as our opponents set out by informing you that our letter was * ' One of the dirtiest , begotten effusions that ever sullied the pages of the Star , " why we inquire , did they not solicit its insertion in the Examiner , whose editor , being their very dear friend , would , no doubt , have been most
happy to grant them so small a favour . We pause for a reply . But , friends , they address their unmitigated , though vindictive tirade , to you , the unlocated members , and through what channel does it pass ? not a very clear and creditable one , certainly ; yet so limited , that we venture to assert not one thousand out ofthe seventy thousand members compasing the Company , ever saw it , or care to see it . For itmustbein yourrecollection , that through this same channel ran the foil and fetid streams from a something that figured under the cognomen of " One that -whistled at the plough , " and which streams the source of them vainly imagined , would absorb , or rather smother , the founder of the Land Plan . And it will also be fresh in your memories , that Mr . O'Conn or took-legal proceedings against the proprietors of this channel , for defam » tion » i

J . Smith will pay the Company ' s rental , as he emphatically repudiates the principle of no payment recently adopted , as unjust
to the paid up shareholders , and directly at variance with the rules of tho Society . With regard to the idea of his wishing to throw overboard his landlord , it never entered into his head , and must be nothing , more nor less , than a pure fiction on the part of his enemies . 4 th . —Mr .

Willes purchased a four acre farm , for which he paid £ 75 , while he is part-proprietor of the Company ' s property to the amount of £ 10 . . 5 th . —Mr . Moody was one of the first carpenters employed by Mr . O'Connor , and the last discharged ; a very fair proof that he must have heen a sober , honest , and excellent workman , otherwise , ho would not have been tho first and last tradesman employed in the Company ' s _serrioe . This fact , we think , is very much to his credit , and one of which he is justly proud . We perfectly understand the insinuation sought to be conveyed in the allusion to tke term of his service , but it is a truly unfortunate attempt of the concoctors , and
we _reepmmend their taking a few lessons from some ( fever and _refined'inventor of inuendoes , ere they make a second essay . Ah ! but Moody got his allotment Somehow . " "Here our friends are again unhappy and quite out at fault , inasmuch as many of them were present at the late Conference , and must have heard Mr . O'Connor , upon being asked about it , say that he had sold it to Moody . The directors received the sum of £ 20 from Moody , which was duly booked , and acknowledged in the Star . This , we opine , is a clear reply to the dark , and somewhat uncharitable , " somehow . " 6 th . —It is not true that Mr . Doyle has done nothing but superintend his farms since tho sitting of the last Conference , as he has had generally engaged two labourers who superintend and cultivate them for him . Mr . D . was sent hero by the
Directors to do the Uompany _s business , and for many weeks had to perform more than one man ' s share . He is yet engaged in that business , and will continue so long as his brother _directors may deem his services necessary , and for the Company ' s interest _, lb is well-known to many persons , that for at least two years he has given more , upon an average , than fifteen hours daily to the service of his employers , with the exception of Sundays ; and even upon these days ef rest to the generality of working men , he could scarcely claim a few hours exclusively to himself . Mr . Doyle is fully aware of the spirit which dictated the untruth , and the object sought to be gained by its enunciation , and we beg to observe that he would indeed be extremely sorry to reciprocate the meanness of the one , or the malignity of tho other .
7 th .- —And now friends , "last , though not least , Mr . Cullingham , the celebrated foreman of the works , " as they are pleased to designate our friend . Before , however , we reply seriatim to the wholesale falsehoods and misrepresentations _letusstatcMr . C . treated with contempt when he heard them read in manuscript , prior to being transmitted to the channel they have lately passed . He now publicy challenges the Directors , the various tradesmen with whom the Company have dealt from the commencement of operations / every man that has been in the employment of the same , and the numerous persons with whom Mr . O'Connor and himself have made contracts , to bring one single charge against him , derogatory to his character as honest and honourable man . He defies them , one and all , to prove he ever
took a bribe from any of the men , or that ho ever hinted to the persons who supplied tho Company with materials , that he expected a certain per centage upon the amount of their bills ( which has been repeatedly done by men holding similar situations to the one he held under the Company ); and as to . his conduct towards the allottees , can they fairly say or prove , that he ever behaved to them in an uncourteous or unfriendly spirit ? On the contrary , has he not lent them money , and paid some of their taxes , and have they not heard bim state he would have done more were it in his power ? The first charge preferred is , that Mr . C . has created the utmost contempt for the character of Mr . O'Connor . He challenges them to meet him face to faee with Mr . O'Connor , and prove the same in the presence of six or more impartial
persons . The second charge is , that he said he had been written to for the purpose of getting silk flags , banners , & c , ready for the _demonstvation . This is wrong ; he stated Mr . O'Connor did write to him from London , requesting him to proceed with despatch , and get all ready , and said go on , and d—d the expense , which letter he read to some of the men employed at the time , but they understood the expense was to be borne by Mr . O'Connor . The third oharge is , that he wrote to Mr . O'Connor , "his feelings being rather alarmed at incurring the responsibility for the same . Where or how the silk was to be ordered , hinting at the same time the heavy expense . " This is false , as Mr .
O'Connor gave hini . orders at Snig ' s End to obtain what was necessary , therefore he had no occasion to write upon that subject . The fourth charge , ' ¦ That the silk mercer brought in his bill , and it was sent to tho Directory , This statement is without the least foundation , as he got the bill from the mercer when receiving the goods , and handed it to Mr . O'Connor with the balance sheet ofthe whole expense * . The fifth charge . That Mr . O ' Connor denied any knowledge of the debt when applied to by the mercer / ' Answer : What Mr . O'Connor really did say was , he was not aware of the debt , but when explained to him by the party , he requested a fresh bill to be forwarded to him at Dodford , andhe would settle it .
The sixth states that "he went to London for the cash . " This is a fabrication ; he went to London to get medical advice andohange of air , as recommended , and did not know till he reached Gloucester that the account was unsettled . The seventh charge . Tbat " when relating the narrative , he wound up by saying , if Mr . O'Connor plays with me much longer , I will unfold such a tale as would for ever prevent his holding up his head in future .. Our answer to this is , that it . is abase falsehood .
The eighth charge is , that he was three days in trying _tbgef signatures to our address to you . The real fact is , Mr . C . had it in his possession but a few hours after it was written , and he only read it to three persons , viz . Messrs . Boyer , O'Brien ( the tailor ) , and Blackford . It is now requisite we inform you what Mr . C . really stated at one of the meetings held here , in reference to the debt , and the " fuddling interview . " Having been charged with sending to Mr . O'Connor and the Directors an accountof everything that was said by the allottees , and , in defending himself from auch groundless Assertions , ' stated be had not written a letter to Mr . O'Connor for six months , nor had he sent one line to the Directors respectim * the proceedings ; and further said , when on his way to

Unite ! unite ! ye Irish brave , Let the Land your watchword be ; Scout , oh seout the eervile slave That crouches when he may be free . Up like heroes , at the despots—Lick no more the tyrant ' s hand ; Leave your pauper workhouse mess-pots , And lire like freemen on your Land . Then Free Trade will be a blessing , When man can work , and eat and play ; ¦ "When shepherds cease to live by fleecing , Then each flock its own will pay . —P . _O'C . THE LAND . ' THE LAND . ' . ' THE LAND I I I
TO THE IRISH PEOPLE . ( From the Irishman of Jan . W . J My Friends and Countrymen , The state to which tyranny , oppression , and misrule has brought Ireland , will shortly compel the English ministry to destroy the whole machinery by which that ruin , has heen created . "We find this fact foreshadowed b y an announcement -Jin the ministerial organ , that a large extension of the suffrage is , at length , to be conceded . That concession , however , does not emanate from a sense of justice , but from an apprehension that Whig power , based upon Free Trade , can no longer "withstand the opposition of Protection .-
As regards Ireland , however , there is this gleam of hope from the promised changethat no extension ofthe suffrage , save that which confers it upon every sane man of twenty-one years of age , can overpower the influence of land monopolists , and from the destruction of that power alone can you , the working classes , anticipate the slightest benefit . Irishmen , poor and dependent though ye were when the forty shilling freehold system was in existence , yet , under that system , thousands , yea millions , never died of famine . You , the Catholics of Ireland , four hundred thousand of you , representing two millions , at
five to a family , were satisfied to surrender and abandon your little hovels and homesteads , upon the hope of securing what was fashionably termed Catholic Emancipation ; the result of which was , that Catholic lickspittals and toadies were eligible to be elected as your representatives , to hold offices from which they were previously excluded , to be appointed Queen ' s Counsel , Attorney or Solicitor-General , and elevated to the Bench ; and , to show you the benefit of such a change , for which you were ousted from your little holdings , can you point out any class of men , whether as representatives or officials , that has been more virulently hostile to the elevation of the Catholic people ?
As representatives they have sold you , as law officers they have persecuted you , and as judgeB they have strained the law's rigour to destro y you ; and always bear in mind that that legal persecution has ever emanated from men who have been elevated to those legal situations by Government lickspittals who professed to represeut you . Now , that is the system that I seek to destroy . And to prove to you the fact that landlords have ever measured the value of then * property by the standard of political patronage , and
not by that of national requirement or State necessity , need D remind you , that shortly after the annihilation ofthe forty shilling freehold votes , the tyrant landlords levelled your heads to the dust , and knocked your small holdings into large farms , by which the altered vote was tb be measured ; and at length have been . compelled , as I predicted , to be beggars at England ' s door , in order , as they humanely profess , to save those from starvation whom they had robbed of their little holdings , and whom they had ousted from their little hovels ?
The blackness of ashes now marks where the ** stood , While the wild mother screams o ' er her tarnishing brood . Now , my countrymen , as there is no sli ght difficulty in creating , organising , and directing a national mind , and as my whole life ' s study has been devoted to the single consideration as to how the industrious labourer may be made independent of the griping capitalist ; and as
I have come to the conclusion that this object cannot be achieved by any other means than the location of the people upon their own land , deriving a comfortable subsistence from its produce , furnished by their own labour—you must not consider me tiresome while I am endeavouring to secure the materials by which , and by which alone , this desirable object can be effected .
Shall I startle you , If I introduce you to the Queen ' s Palace , and ask you to inspect tho edifice , and examine the gorgeous furniture—to look upon the sump tuous repast supplied for tho Royal guests , the dessert _* the wine , the china _> the gold and silver- j if I ask you to inspect the magnificent dresses of ladies

ardent delight at the manner in which the English mind was drilled , and capable of being directed in political matters ; and I expressed my still greater delight when I learned from him , the strength which the Democratic party in Ireland was likely to possess . And recollect , that as every beginning is weak , you must not be despondent if you do not arrive at a giant strength all at once . No , you have a double duty to perform : you have to pull down and and clear away the old rubbish , which has so long remained as the great obstacle of progress , before you can erect your new edifice . Rely upon it , that parties undertaking to create
a great national mind , have great _difhculties to contend against . "When I first organised the Chartist movement in England , in 1835 , I considered a meeting of five or six in an attic as a good gathering , * and behold its growth when I tell you that in 1837 , ' 38 , ' 39 , and ' 40 we had gatherings estimated at half a million , many walking thirty miles . When the twig was weak we were not worth the law's notice ; when we were ever so powerful we were not noticed by the press ; but when the sapling turned into a sturdy trunk , then we were considered worth the law ' s persecution and the slander of the press . Now , Irishmen , let me implore of you notto be disheartened if your beginning is weak ; remember that " Rome was not built in a day , " and above all ,
remember that " what is to be done for thb pkopie must Bi * dose bt the people ; " and remember , that the employer , who lives upon the dependeace of the labourer , will never unite with the labourer for the accomplishment of any measure which is calculated to destroy that dependence . 'As well may the lamb with the tiger unite , The mouse with the cat , the lark with the kite * With my Ballinamoraona , No union with tyrant for me . ' Now , my countrymen , as to he forewarned is to be forearmed , let me implore of you to be prepared
for the coming struggle . The show-box will open on Thursday fortnignt—the magicians will try to juggle you—the landlords will assure the Minister Of your perfect satisfaction , if they themselves can be satisfied—the Ministers have no means of judging of your position , except from their declarations and the communications of paid officials ; and , therefore , it becomes your bounden duty to unite , as one man , for the meang to the end—the _People ' s Chahter , iis the means , and tho Lakd as the end . —Your faithful friend and countryman , London , Jan 8 , 1850 .

Leicester . —At a meeting of No . 1 , Branch , after reading letters from the Allottees of Minster Lovel and Sni g ' s-End , in whicli the writers endeavour to defend themselves against the Steps taken by Air O'Connor , the subject was discussed , and tho meeting unanimously agreed that the course pursued by Mr . O ' Connor , in turning them over to the solicitor of the Company , was ri ght , as the members see nothing unjust in the meeting .
The Dissatisfied Allottees. To Feargus O...
THE DISSATISFIED ALLOTTEES . TO FEARGUS O ' CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Honoured and dear Sir—I embrace the present opportunity to offer an opinion respecting the Land Company , as well as to send you another instalment towards defraying the expenses incurred in defence of the Chartist prisoners . I wish to state that I hold the same opinion respecting you , that I have entertained for several years . I look upon you as a father to the fatherless , and one with whose reputation few can compare , and _nene excel ; who has to endure the scoffs , the vituperation , and slander , of those whose interests you hold dearest at heart , and for whom you have spent tbe best of your days aa well as fortune . These persons have the audacity to say , that it would be a good thing
for this country if you had been thrown overboard whilst on your passage to Ireland . ( See a letter in the Nottingham Review from an allottee , recently published . ) I think , sir , when you have such children as these to deal with , that the sooner you get rid ot them the better . Dear sir , I am a paid up member in a family ticket , and , we think , if it was possible for the Company to be wound up , that it would give general satisfaction to the greater part of the members . Depend upon it , that _abOVC One half of the Land members belong to that class who would not try to help themselves , and therefore they are unworthy any man ' s help , or they would not
have ceased paying at the time when you were proved to have thousands of pounds of your own money in the Company by tho House of CommonB , and at the very time when it was most needed . It is not because we are afraid of our money ; far from it , for we would ' rather trust it in your hands , than in any other man's hands in the kingdom . In conclusion , may the wisdom of Providence attend you in every undertaking , and may you preserve that unblemished character you now retain during the residue of your days , and then your name will be handed down to posterity as an honour to society , to your country , and to God . Calverton , Robkit Watson .
