THE NOKTHEKN STAR , S . ' -TURD AY , AUGUST 2 _G _, 1818 .
The Reign Of Terror. On Thursday Last, I...
THE REIGN OF TERROR . On Thursday last , in the sixteenth year of Reform , ami _during the administration of tke Reforming Whigs , who have been traitors to the Crown , traitors to the People , and traitors to the English Constitution , another Coercion Bill passed the Commons , with the title uf ;' Unlawful Oaths ( Ireland ) . " We cannot sufficiently express our horror and _disgust of those truculent men . who , thou » h professors of constitutional _lilujity , have thus destroyed every _vesUtie of the constitution , as regards
Ireland ; but we cannot conline our observations to the state of Ireland alone , we must , in justice , extend them to the present state of England . Every country in the world pressed dawn under the weight of kingcraft and priestcraft , is awaking as it were from the nightmare , and throwing off the incubus of this double pressure ; while England , more oppressed than any other country in the world , is , at the present moment , under a more severe despotism than any other country in Europe .
The philosopher shall not refer to our glorious constitution , in its entirety and integrity , as a refutation of our assertion , because we honour and respect the old English constitution , when man was allowed to live on the landof his birth , when the natural client was nursed and fostered hy his natural patron ; but it is no part of the British constitution that class should live upon class , and that _Government should continue their rule upon no other principle than that of exciting alarm in the minds of one class , that they may live upon the false fears of that class , while they hold the
other , and the most valuable , in a state of bondage , famine , destitution , and want . Can it be denied that profligacy increases in the exact proportion in which " the demand for liberty progresses ? Can it be denied that liberty , tempered with reason and discretion , and not that liberty which would be likely to degenerate into licentionsness , is now the one great object sought by universal Europe ? And can it be denied that the administrators of the much-boasted constitution of England , are now attempting to meet this universal demand by increased profligacy , increased patronage , and increased terror ?
The servile and corrupt Press of this country would hound the Government upon all who profess Chartist principles ; while , without the same thought , discussion , and consideration , which has led to the adoption of those principles by the English people , the people of all other countries of Europe , without the same discussion and pre-concert , are adopting the same principles—thus proving their legitimacy , and showing that , from their realisation alone , the dissensions now prevailing amongst the human family , canbe suppressed and destroyed . The name of Chartism may have become
odious , as the name of every progressive movement does , the object of which is to establish right upon the ruins of might—like every other principle , it must pass through the ordeal of ridicule , contempt , and persecution , until it arrives at that giant strength and threatening magnitude which deserves discussion , legislation , and acceptation . What boots it , that a people starving , a people deceived , a people taxed to overbearing to support a profligate _Government and an
expensive system , should break out into physical resistance , which may for the time and for the nonce entail odium and disrespect upon the professors of that _political creed—those ebullitions , though suppressed by the appliances of a strong Government , but mark the growing discontent . Like the ma « net , the creed attracts all the dissatisfied , until , at length , the resistants are obliged to bend and y ield , and , with a bad grace , they yield to fear much more tban would have been accepted if conceded to justice .
We are not chargeable , the staunch Chartists , the Old Guards , are not chargeable with any of those crimes which are now attributed to the prefessors of Chartism ; and , however the struggle may end between the privileged jury-class , possessing power , and the outlawed class , looking for { tower , we will still maintain the whole principles of Chartism inviolate and unadulterated ; and we will do so hecause we consider them to be the basis of peace , contentment , and plenty , and because we consider them to be in strict accordance with every principle of humanity . What is crime : _Now-a-days crime is not what man does of his own free will . Crime now
is what the agents of Government compel a man to do . In London , scores of Chartists have been arrested . Some are now eking out the time of their solitary imprisonment , while their families are starving and their oppressors revelling ; while others are living upon the slender hope of deliverance from the hands of their persecutors . We , however , notwithstanding the charges of profligacy urged against
_usbyDnimmond , Hrme , and Lord Arundel and Surrey , cannot charge ourselves with being in any way instrumental to the persecution of our Chartist brethren . We cautioned them in season—we cautioned them through all time—to be cautioug of traitors , of spies , and informers . We announced that all the appliances at the command of a desperate government would be put into operation ; to destroy their mos

dreaded assailants . We told them that their every act , and their every word , would be subject to the construction which a hired desperado might put upon them ; and our readers will believe that we formed no unreasonable conclusion when we publish the following letter , received bv M r O'Connor from the informer Powell : — Hoxton . Sik—I have been ihe means of sending missionaries
, to the north of England , for the purpose of bringing the men of the north out . and when they return it is our intention to bt . Id a delegate meeting of London Chartists , and to require your attendance , when we are determined to make a bold stand , oar men being resolved not to wait longer for their _rights ; and it you are not prepared to attend that delegate meeting , and shnro the dans-era of the Chartist tody , you will be one of the first victims to your own cowardice . Your obedient 6 ervant , _TiioMiS Powell
Besides the above communication , Mr O'Connor received a letter from this same Powell , impressively inviting him—nay , commanding him—to attend the meeting in Milton _, street , and for speaking at which Shaw is now in custody . But , still further , when the time arrives we expect to be able to prove that this said Powell had laid a scheme . for the assassination of Lord John Russell , which nothing but the indomitable courage of Mr O'Connor could have prevented ; and which he did prevent at the risk of his own life , and in which some of the staunchest and oldest Chartists in London , co operated—that is , they co-operated with Mr O'Connor in overturning the foul attempt .
Even apart from this , we give the following evidence of the character of the said Powell from fellow-labourer * , who have worked with him , who know his character , and abhor his vices , and these are taken from the original documents signed by those men : — Richard Pcnndl , of 51 , India Cottage , Monyers-street , Hoxton New Town . ' I hav _, > known Powell ; for thirte n years , am aware he committed forgery _o-. i his fathtr . He _informed me that he has l _^ ec-n employed at lis . to I 5 s . per day ns a decoy to _tliiinble--rigi ; cr _.-i , to " draw other parties in to bet and pl . iy . About five years _nuo he used to Ic engaged in watching tbe thieves _' abnut _Regent-street and the Strand . He got
tired of it , as lie only g' -t ' is . 64 . a day . lie told mc lie could get more out of the thieves to keep quiet . He told me he « : ts continually in fear of the counsel that they wou ld heir of the thimble rig affair , and so damage his evidence . The- last time I saw him was about four or five months ago , when he wished me t . join _the-Association , as he would propose me , ns he was one of their bead men _; and wanted me then to propose him as a delegate , as h .- should get £ 2 or £ 3 per week , which would be better than _hunibugjiini ; about at old Smith ' s , as he could make out of carpentering . He then told mi that if I would e-ome to his house next _Siint ' ay
lit- would show rue materials that would blow London to ti « . e devil in half-.-ir . hour ; and he rr eant that Sir _fluorge _Gri-y , Lord John Itu-sel , the Queen , and Prince Albert , would have their b-y brains knocked out first , aud if I , as an individual , did not j . iin them , he would point me _viiitotiit'in , should have bullets put throu ., 'li them . I have frequently heard him say he wished his old father ' s soul was in h-1 , and he sh mid like to pull the old b -r out of his grave . I have known him maliciously to chop up the men ' s tools , ami put others in the fire , because tney wuuld not _assccUite uiih _hi-n in his vill . mous conduct . ( Signed ) _Kichabd _PiNNtix .

Now , the Smith referred to above is brotherin-law to the said Po « e ]!; he is a highly respectable man , employing from fifty to sixty tradesmen , and the foreman of that establishment , if necessary , is ready and willing to come forward to depose to the infamy of this miscreant . But , suppose Mr O'Connor had been weak enough , or so cowardly _. as to yield to the threat of this ruffian , what then would have been the result of his treaclierv ?
It appears , also , that this ruffian was the fomentor ol the whole conspiracy ; and after so manv v ears of practised villany , associated with the greatest miscreants , and practised in the art of deception , was it wonderful that such a professor should have been able to secure willing and enthusiastic followers ? It further appears that the whole of the Lancashire conspiracy was brought about by one wbo , we are credibly informed , is now ready to tender evidence on behalf of the Crown
against his associates . In 1843 , the principal witness against Mr O'Connor and fifty-nine others , at Lancaster , was a reporter of the Northern Star , to whom the proprietor had rendered signal service , and it was natural , therefore , that Mr O'Connor should not only have felt suspicious himself , but _should have warned others against the machinations of such villains . And as of yore , so now , and so it will be always , according to the Free-trade principle—where there is a demand , there will be a supply—last week we dismissed one of the reporters of this establishment—not Mr Stallwood , —from the fact communicated to us
that he was in constant communication with the detectives and police , and not wishing , however great the danger may be of being associated with an outlawed principle , to be in any way mixed up with treachery and deceit . However the Whigs may be able to use a jury class against British subjects , in the hope of suppressing Chartism , and however they may have the ce-operation of the Hume and Cobden quadruped alliance , both factions may rest assured that Chartism , though struck down now by the bloody hand of tyranny , will rise , not from its ashes , but from its slumber , and will overthrow despotism and establish the
rule of justice in this country . Does the present administration suppose , that the fears of English landlords are as usable and as useful as the profligacy of Irish members ? and do they imagine that the Saxon blood of the aristocracy of _England will net revolt against that perfidy which now but maintains itself by the profligacy and co operation of traders , who speculate in human blood ? The heart sickens when Ireland is the theme ; the blood recoils when we find that upon Thursday [ last , when Mr O'Connor moved the rejection of the last act of Coercion for Ireland , that there was
not an Irish member to second it , although the " fat young gentleman , ' ' the leader of the " moral _, force humbug , '' ( Mr John O'Connell ) was in the lobby at the time . If ever there was a period when it was necessary for the Chartists to be on their guard against the plots and intrigues of government spies and informers , it is now ; and if ever there was a Government which deserves the execration of all classes , rich and poor , it is that Government which has found its way to office upon pledges of extensive reform , and has destroyed confidence by the violation of those pledges .
The "Conspiracy." Our Town Edition Of La...
THE "CONSPIRACY . " Our town edition of last Saturday contained a report of the examination of the persons arrested in London on the _preceding Wednesday . That report supplied to our country readers this week , is accompanied by notices " of subsequent arrests and examinations . Two or three of the persons arrested , or said to be implicated , are known to have professed Chartist principles , and on this foundation the Press _ijang have been howling for a week past , over what they have called the " Discovery of a Chartist Conspiracy . " " Conspiracy" there may have been , but not a Chartist conspiracy . The onl y known Chartist against whom that charge is _brought is Cuffav .
Now , takinp ; the evidence _against Cuffay for granted—which , in fact , considering the suspicious source it comes from , we are not _inclinrd to do—it is rather too bad that one man ' s folly should be made the pretext for _invoking vengeance against the entire Chartist party . The prosecuting counsel , Mr Clarkson , admitted a distinction between the veritable Chartists and the misguided men who , as he said , '' took upon themselves the character of Chartists , " and " affected to be Chartists' '—a distinction which the Press would have imitated , had its conductors any regard for truth and
honour ; but when did a regard for either characterise the unprincipled Press-gang ? According to the evidence of Joseph Thompson sergeant of police , he picked up a paper at the Orange Tree public house , which paper certified that George Greenslade and William Hyrne bad been elected delegates to the National Chartist Convention for the " Thomas Paine Lodge . " Without raising the question as to the genuineness of this " ¦ paper , " we solemnly declare that the men named , George Green slade and William Byrne , were never members of any " National Chartist
Convention . " All delegate meetings known by that or any similar name , have been reported in this journal ; and tbe names of these men never appeared in connexion with any such "Conventions . "' If there ever has been any secret delegation assuming the title of ' ' National Chartist Convention , " we know not where or when that delegation met ; and if there was any such meeting , wo declare , in the name of the Chartist party , that that meeting had no
authority to take to itself any such title . Again _, if there is any knot of men calling themselves the "Thomas Paine Lodge , " they are unknown to us . The Chartist Organisation includes neither " _lodges , " nor anything in the shape of " lodges . " The Plan of Organisation adopted years ago , and revised in public by the late delegate meeting calling itself the ' _" ' National Assembly , ' ' repudiates secrecy in every name and form .
Some of the prisoners had " Chartist cards on them . It is not stated whether the whole of these cards were the tokens of membership _issued b y the National Charter Association . It is not the first time that persons have taken up cards of the Association for purposes of their own , quite foreign to the interests of the Association . For instance , a certain person ( whose thirst for notoriety broke out all over him at the time of the Cochrane Revolution in Trafalgar Square ) , was elected to the Chartist Convention , which met in London on the 3 rd of April last . He was challenged to show that he was a Chartist , which lie very soon did bv
producing his card of the National Charter Association , which he had taken up—two or three days before Ihe Convention assembled I That person s name has figured two or three times of late in the _Bankruptcy Court , and on each occasion the penny-a-liners have announced him as "Mr ¦— 1 the Chartist leader ' " The man was wholly unknown to the Chartists previous to the meeting of thelate Convention , and since the dissolution of that assembly he has never mixed with the Chartists , yet the vile Press-gang proclaim him a " Chartist leader . ' ' Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell has as good claim to that title .
The man , Thomas Powell , is utterly unknown to the Chartist party , and tbe veritable Chartists , the men who have borne the h at and burden of a ten years' agitation , would never have reposed confidence in a wan without public name and reputation . How he rewarded the confidence of his dupes , the following revelations , when under cross-examination , will show : — " I entered the Association for the purpose of _getting" information , and communicating' it to tlie Police Commissioners . 1 _encouraged and stimulated these men in order to
inform _against tnem . And _airain — " I _trave tlie men some bullets : O J I gave balls to Gurnev ; I _gave him half-a-pound of powder ; I also cast some bullets on purpose for him , and gave them to him . " It appears also , according to his own account , that when at the secret meeting , the night previous to tlie arrests , the chairman
put the question to each so-called " delegate , ' ' " Are you prepared ? " —that is , "Are you prepared to come out with your men to-morrow night ? " Powell answered in the aflirmative . " He'' ( the chairman ) "put the question to one before me , " says Po « ell , " and he _s-iid ' Yes . ' He then put the question to me , and I said ' YES ! !! ' '' No « under ho trembled violently whilst giving his evidence—no woniW he drank quantities of water—no wonder hfl had to be _nrwnmmodated with a chair . Poor
wretch ! But comment would be superfluous . "The approver ' s " own damning admissions do move than even tlie pen of a Cob » etT could do to exalt this Powell to the goodly com paniomhip of those saints of Sidmouth's
era—OLIVER , CASTLES , RICHMOND , and EDWARDS ! " Spies / ' says the Morning Chronicle , " are necessary evils . " But was it _necessary , after Powell ' s dupes _were in custody , to send him amongst ihem to glean information from their own confessions to a man whom they yet supposed worthy of their confidence , and imagined came to them as a friend ? This was done , at least in the case of one of tlie prisoners—Gurney . Such a mode of obtaining evidence against the accused is thoroughly disgraceful , and ought to have been repudiated by the government prosecutor .
This affair has been made the pretext for another furious outburst against Chartism , on the part of the Press-gang ; the Times , as usual , taking the lead . With a recklessness of depravity nowhere to be found out of Printing . House-sqiiare . the Times asserts that Chartism is " a compound of burglary and arson , with murder superadded . " Again" Modern Chartism has but three points—fireraising , bloodshed , and plunder . ' ' Is not this horrible ? With how much more justice might we charge upon Whig _^ i sm and Toryism the robberies , burnings , and murders , accounts of
which fill so much space in the public journals . It is notorious that robberies , burnings , and murders , are nearly always to be traced to the destitution—physical or mental , usually both ¦ —of the perpetrators of those crimes . Whigs and Tories of the present or past generations make , or have made , the laws and institutions which have moulded society to its present shape , and neither the Whigs nor Tories have done anything to emancipate the multitude from ignorance , vice , and misery . The Chartists have been and are powerless , and have had nothing to do with creating or perpetuating
the general causes of crime . Can the same be said of Whigs and Tories ? Those parties have refused to provide adequate means for the education of the people ; they have established a political system which , in a great mea & me , owes its stability to the vices of the people —witness the beer shops and gin palaces—and by taking no steps to put an end to the destitution of the unemployed , although possessing ample power to do so , they have kept alive and yearly ' aggravated the t > tron ! j ; est inducement to crime . It is not true , as the Times
asserts , that England is " cultivatedjto the top of its power . " It is not true thatthe present " regulations of society / ' which' constantly leave a massof human beings totheftemptation to commit crime , are " inevitable . ' All this might and would be changed , if the " six points" of the Charter—not the "three points" of the Times—were in the ascendant _. One word more . If Chartism is to be held responsible for Powell ' s plot , what ism should be saddled with the Derby riots , the burning of Nottingham Castle , and the sacking of Bristol ? An answer will oblige .
The Chronicle ' s description of the prisoners explains how it happened that they became associated in their mad enterprise : — The prisoners were all in tho garb of mechanics and labourers and in the entire body there was not a _single individual whose appearance indicated nn approach tu even ordinary physical strength , or whose countenance _displiijednnyof that ferocity of disposition which thn atrocious character of the crime imputed te them would seem naturally to betofcen .
It was not "ferocity of disposition , " but starvation , as evidenced by their utter want of " physical strength , " which had induced them to lend an ear to the tempter , and combine for —their own ruin . _.. That there has been a "Conspiracy , " we
cannot deny , but will all the conspirators be _brought to trial ? No ! The worst will escape . The Press-gang have conspired to misrepresent the working classes , and excite prejudice against their principles ; and , successful in their conspiracy , have driven men in their despair toseek the means ot escape from their misery , even by violence . The supporters of the Gagging Bill , and the employers of spying reporters and spying detectives , have , by rendering the
ancient right of public meeting a nullity , conspired , too successfully , to drive a portion of the people to favour secret societies , against the advice and _warnings of their ( rue friends . Lastly , Powell , the informer , conspired with the police to take advantage of the _misery and madnes s of his dupes , of course with no other object than the public good in view , and not that he _my ht earn the customary "thirty p ieces of silver . ''
And now we warn the London Chartists that Powell is not . the only deceiver ! We have accurate information of the doings of at least one other informer—a creature who twelve months ago was unknown to the Chartist party , hut who within that time has made himself notorious at the east end of London by his apparent morbid craving for notorietybut his real motives are now known to us . We warn the London Chartists that such a creature—in personal appearance a satire upon " phvsical force "—is amongst them . He has
urged on others to the talking of violent nonsense , and preparations for violent deeds , and has then c immunicated every word and act to the police . Spies arc amongst you , men of London—beware of them , Villany and folly have done their work well , and , in consequence , every Chartist is menaced with public and private persecution . No matter , we shall continue to defend and advocate the principles of Charti _> m . in spite of both fools and knaves ; convinced that those principles are founded in justice and truth , and that their establishment is necessary for the
welfare of society . Ihe Cnromcle says , that " no honest man will henceforth allow himselt to be classed with Chartists at all . " But , " ome weal , come woe , " the name of Chartist shall ever be dear to us . Though the hurricane of persecution is once again _rairing , we nail our flag to the mast— "THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER !"
Pari A A Mentary K K Viiiw. It Is Very P...
PARI A A MENTARY K K _VIIIW . It is very painful to see such a waste of labour and good intentions as that exhibited by the debates of this protracted Session . Though the 12 th of August has lured away the more confirmed of Tlio sportsmen to the pleasures of field and forest , there still remains a goodly number of senators , old and young , who are quite ready to sacrifice themselves , in clay and night sittings , for " the good of their country . " Unfc the fates are against these patriots . Not all their enthusiasm and perseverance can move the vis ineriia of a Whig administration—not all their _eiforts reimve the frightful nightmare of Whig incapacity , which presses _tifion the Legislature , and benumbs its energies .
As it is , the debates serve merely to indicate the vast importance of the subjects left untouched—subjects which press imperatively for settlement , but are neglected by a Government which has neither the ability nor the energy required to grapple with them , and which is _laboriously elaborate and busily idle with such small matters as fall within the range of their limited intellects . By way of compensating for the absence of one or two great , measures , which would produce appreciable and beneficial re-ults , they heap on the table of both Houses a host of legislative trifles , which have at least the effect of occupying the time and attention of our legi _> lators , and to make a show of work , if the reality he wanting .
It is not considered sufficient that Ireland should he _afTlicte- ! by famine , pauperism , and landlordism . A few bigots'vi . sh to inflame a little more violently the already too great religious animosities which prevail in that unhappy country . In 1 S 32 , a system of national education , based upon a principle of respect for all conscientious religious opinions , was introduced into Ireland , It was under Lord Stanley ' s administration , and he has , therefore , received the credit of originating the system , which , we believe , is reallv due to Mr Thomas
Wyse , the late Member for Waterford . The object of this system was to " afford a combined literary and a separate religious education , which should be so far adopted to the views of all religious persuasions in Ireland , as to render it in truth a national system of education for the poorer classes of the community . ' ' The schools were to be kept open for moral and literary education , only for four or five days in the week . The other days were to beset apart for giving separately , such religious education to the children as might he approved by the clergy of their respective
persuasions . One would have imagined that a system so obviously just to all parties , would have met with hearty support—the very contrary has been the case . The bishops and clergy of that monstrous incubus on Ireland—the Protestant Established Church , not content with robbing the Roman Catholics of the revenues they receive , have set up - continuous howl against these schools , and done all in their power to deprive the Roman Catholic children of their benefits , on pretence that they were a violation of the rights of conscience , and that all education should he based on
the use of the Bible as a school book . Lord John Russell effectually disposed of this flimsy pretence in his reply to the application of Mr Hamilton , on Monday night , to interfere with the system established in 1832 , by making a separate grant to the Established Church . He said—The Roman Catholic says , ' It is a violation 0 _myc-mseienice to _oblige my child to receive religious instruction
of which tlie Roman Catholic chuvcH _disapproves . ' Th _^ t is a very intelligent proposition ! But when the Protestant _clergyman says , ' It is a violation of my conscience to promote education , unless I can coir oil Romau Catholic children to receive _religious instruction , according to the forms of the Cliureh of England , ' theVord ' violation ' of conscience become } so vague and unimportant that I for one canuot attach any meaning at all to it . ( Loud cheers . )
I he best argument in favour of the system is , that ever since its establishment it has gone on steadily increasing in public favour , and public utility . At first there were about 1 , 000 schools , and 100 , 000 scholars ; there are now upwards of 4 , 000 schools , and about 450 , 000 scholars ; and this in spite of the most inflexi ble and persevering hostility on the part of the Protestant Clergy . Every traveller who has visited Ireland and examined the working of these Schools , speaks of them as the onh green spot in the history of that unhappy country , and as the only feature which
promises a better future . We think , therefore , that the Ministry were right in refusing to interfere with a system which has , for sixteen years , had the support of every successive Administration ; which has _. during ' that period , made such a steady progress in usefulness ; and which is calculated to he of such future benefit frj Ireland , by removing those religious prejudices and animosities which are the greatest bane and curse of human society . It is also gratif ying to add , as a proof of the _decac-lence of religious intolerance and bigotry , that onl y fifteen members were found to vote for such interference .
Among The Numerous Matters Talked About,...
Among the numerous matters talked about , we note one significant omission , No one says a word about the state of the country , as indicated by the numerous arrests which are now making in every part of it . Is it fear of probing the real weakness of the present system too deeply , which imposes this prudent silence ? We had prepared comments on the Bank , Sugar , and Slave Trade questions , which have constituted portions of the week ' s debates , but press of matter compels the postponement of the remarks till our next number .

The Chartist Prisoners. In The House Of ...
THE CHARTIST PRISONERS . In the House of Commons last night , on Mr Wakley presenting a petition , a short debate arose « n the treatment of the convicted Chartists , now in Tothill Fields Prison . We may believe the statement of Mr Dodd , uhen it is corroborated by the prisoners ; but uiier . we reflect upon the fate of Holherry and others , we may be excused for being rather sceptical as to the pleasure or enjoyments of political prisoners .
