THE _JNOKTHEM STAK . SATURDAY , DECEMBER C , 1845 .
The Struggle. For More Than Forty Years ...
THE STRUGGLE . For more than forty years the confiding people of England struggled under Whig leaders for such a Parliamentary Reform as would : secure such alterations in the system as their improved position in society entitled them to . Within that time the Whigs had occasionally clutched power during periods of unnatural excitement , and although they made but
slight Pakliamestart progress , as far as the question was concerned , yet the deep rooted hatred of Toryism was of itself sufficient to secure a continuance ol popular zeal on behalf of the great measure . The obstinacy of a strong' boroughmongering opposition , backed by a mad monarch , whose every vein : was brimful of black and Tory blood , was then a sufficient apology for delay , and in the then seetionalised state of society the mere nominal distinction of parties was sufficient to enlist the co-operation , or provoke the opposition , of tlie industrious cl ? sses .
However confused , obscure , and indistinct , whig policy may have appeared , it stood in fair contrast with the hangings , the butcheries , and the cruelties of their Tory opponents , and naturally enough the public mind warred against the active , the powerful , the ruthless foe . The greatest frenzy under which the popular mind can suffer is the delusion which carries confidence beyond its legitimate limits , and silences wholesome censure . This delusion , however , did exist up to the very consummation ot the thing called _Pauliamestauy Refokm , and the spell was only broken by the possession of" The beauteous toy so fondly sought ,
"Whicli lost its charm by being caught . " In proportion to their suffering and allegiance to the Whias , tbe people very naturally looked for protection under that measure which their perseverance and courage had carried , against the most powerful and bigotted aristocracy that a country was ever cursed with . The only man who ventured to check popular frenzy , and to interpose between the people and the delusion , was Hu . \ _i ; and his life of untiring action , of consistent patriotism , of dungeon suffering , was pleaded , but pleaded in vain . The public mind had risen to flood-tide , and all past services , sufferings , and sacrifices , were so many straws , swept onward by the irresistible torrent .
When the measure was carried , popular fury was at its height . A good-natured king , who flung up his royal cap in commemoration of the people ' s triumph , filled the throne . The pride of an iron Duke had been humbled , the old aristocracy had been triumphed over , the people ' s friends had been exalted , the people ' s battle had been won , and popular fury subsided . Such ever has been the case when the working classes have been left to the leadership of faction . Apathy ever follows the blow which proclaims their victo ry : and the first moments of
triumph are spent by the conquerors in the concoction of measures for the overthrow of that party whose power may be one day used for humbling those whom it had exalted . Such , precisely , was the policy of the Whigs . They invoked the co-operation of the trades , and then struck a deadly blow at their order . They evoked the hill-slave from his solitude , and the valiey-serf from his retirement , and then transported their abettors . There was no resisting the Whig charm , the syren note , the national delusion . So they dealt with parties , and not less boldly did nations feel their vengeance .
The Irish boasted that an Irish majority had neutralized an English and Scotch minority , and for their reward received the first blow— _coercion . The English , for their untiring co-operation , received the second—starvation ; and Scotland only escaped her share of friendship because the monster was satiated , the savage was gorged . Not only did the Whigs apply their maiden power to the overthrow of the partv to whom they owed it ; but , from that moment
to the present , they have _followed it up by acts , not only of oppression , but of cruelty . In power they systematically opposed the popular voice ; in opposition they lent their aid in support of measures at variance with their every pledge ; and now they would court a restoration to popular favour by an alliance the most galling arid humiliating . An alliance which must for ever check even the feeble streams ot Reform , by making property not only the test of representation , but the very talisman of power .
This alliance has so completely sunk Wluggcry into Leagueism , that , henceforth , we must merge the * distinctive party cognomens in the more expressive term of the tardigrade coalition . Lieutenant TiRMGRiBE , ia ana of the _euaYactcvs in My . Peahu ' s inimitable _eomedy of the " Sheriff of the County , " io upon all occasions through lifejustone minute toolate ; and , as we learn from the result of yesterday ' s Cabinet Council , that it is Peel ' s determination to repeal the Corn Laws without restriction , poor Lord Sons is in the situation ofthe unlucky Lieutenant , always" just one _mislte too LATE . " We announced that the
day of auction would come , and that Peel would outbid Russell . How true , but how miserable , the position of ihe tardy Lord , who , in endeavouring to please every one , has pleased nobody , and lost his party and his character for consistency into the bargain . We have so far shown how Reform was achieved , how it was used , and what have been its results to those for whose especial benefit it was claimed , and try whose perseverance it was eavyied , and we shall now see upon what terms the _cautious and prudent concessions , of which Lord John _Russell speaks in his letter , were promisei , and whether or no the people have , by a compliance with the several requirements , entitled themselves to the promised rt ' - ward . When Charles James Fox and the Duke of Richmosd proclaimed the principles , the identic *

princip les contained in the People ' s Charter some gixty-six years since , a > very large section of the middle classes recognised in theni , even in _thoje . days of comparative ignorance , the perfect embodiment of all the principles of the glorious Revolution of 1688 , which placed the present R oyal Famil y upon the throne of this country . When Fox and the Whigs got into office , the great principles of Reform were lost sight of , and the people ' s triump h was frittered down to the mere ineligibility of Government
contractors to sit in the House of Commons . Subsequently Lord Gbex became the champion of Reform ; and popular concessions , especially to Ireland , were based , as we are now able to prove , upon the success of French Republicanism and Irish Revolution . For man y years the leaders urged the people on to such acts of frenzy as would frighten a strong Tory opposition , and compel them in times of threatened danger to surrender the Government to the popular party .
Hence we find , in the outset , that physical force was the requirement to which cautious and prudent concessions were offered , and we had an abundant qualification very speedily manifest at Peterloo , Newcastle , and Bristol . When the people had thus qualified their _l-badeus for power , a new test was set up by the moral philosophers , who instantly , upon the acquisition of power , warred against the old qualification—physical force . The new test was knowledge , the most undefinable thing , as no defined course could be established , and no very distinct limits could be affixed to such national improvement as would warrant the ceding of the cautious and i > nudent coxcessio . ys . Resolved upon victory , the
working classes , however , did enter upon the mysterious course of mental progression , and they had succeeded to such an alarming extent up to tho first examination , namely , the last general election , and subsequently in the embodiment of their principles , and the substantial manner in wliich they conveyed them to the very table of the House op Commons , that tlieir masters stood aghast at their pupils ' sagacity . Thus had the people established their claim to all cautious and prudent concessions upon the prescribed conditions of physical resistance to Toryism , and tho acquirement of sound politieal knowledge . Indeed , we may fairly own , that since
the restoration of the Whigs to power , the English working classes have progressed in knowledge beyond any , or all other nations upon the face of the earth . However , another , and , to an oppressed people , a more trying test , was proposed—the test of calm suffering and obedience to authority , to he manifest in national tranquillity . That requirement has been complied with since the moment the Whigs were ejected from office , and now , as the reward of popular obedience to Whig recommendation , the leader of that party melts down his cautious and prudent concessions to an alliance with the people ' s bitterest enemies , and offers a mere expedient as the reward , of their sevoral qualifications : —But he must bid again .
Bid Again Lord John. It Now Appears That...
BID AGAIN LORD JOHN . It now appears that Parliament is to be assembled early in January for the purpose of giving the Corn Laws the finishing stroke : thus Peel has been before hand with the truculent Lord , and has out-bid him . We have published our opinions so frequently upon this subject , and last week we entered so fully into the consideration as to what the inevitable social
result must be , that we have now merely to place our opinions as to the immediate consequences upon record , The abandonment of Sir Robert Peel ' s stereotyped opinion upon tlie question of the Corn Laws , at a moment when be stands in the pillory ol party , proves the length to which individuals will go for the preservation of power ; while we fear lest the popular party should accept the boon as one of those cautious and prudent concessions due to their position .
If it was possible to make distinction of time of " importance , Sir Robert Peel lias certainly embraced the most seasonable for the accomplishment of his measure . Had the Minister proclaimed his intention during the sitting of last session , the consequence would have been a considerable diminution of home produce for next year . The delay has secured the cultivation of an average " breadth , " while upon the other hand , the consequent panic may , and probably will , have the effect of hurrying tbe sale of last year ' s produce , and thus reduce the price at home to a
lower figure than the iarmers or their landlords will be satisfied to bear . And it ' so , thai revolution , which we announced as the inevitable result of the repeal of the Corn Laws under existing circumstances , must follow . However , as the matter appears settled , it now becomes our duty to inquire firstly , whether it is a sufficient remedy for the present disarranged state of our social , commercial , and political relations ; and secondly , in how far tlie people can protect themselves against the threatened infliction .
We arc not comfortably at peace with France or America . We have witnessed the use that may be made , by tlie Bank of England , of the powers conferred upon it by Sir Robert Peel . We are stared in the face by total famine in Ireland and scarcity in England , and are told of our slender hopes from foreign nations who have nothing to spare . Many Commercial interests , hang upon the mercy oi increased discounts , while tlie whole social system has been shaken to its centre by rash and headlong speculation ; together with which we hear of increased production , with increasing pauperism , and withall a powerful agricultural party , standing at the
foot of the pile , as the proffered victim to appease the wrath and satisfy the cravings of aU , Is , then , the measure proposed adequate to social , commercial , and political requirements ? or will the Whig paity , thus cheated of their prey , now add the required adjustment announced by Lord Joiix Russell as their superior title to power ? It is not in nature to suppose that the Whigs baffled thus , after their humiliating conversion to a new faith , will stop short in their career , and accept from an opponent that measure upon which they hoped to stalk into office , _aild what arc the cautious _andpmdent concessions the noble Lord and Ms party iviU now offer as their equitahle ADJUSTMENT ?
Will they bear the triumph of then- foe augmented by their adhesion to his principles ? or will they boldly say it is not what shall de done , _dut who sh . Mil do it ? In last week ' s Star we stated , that we . would rather see the measure carried by Sir Robert Peel than by the Whigs , hut this was a mere comparative vies : of tlie question ; as we fear that the party who has forced the Minister into the adoption of tlieir principles , will also force him into a recognition of their _policy—the policy of strengthening bis Government on the condition that they , and . they only , _siiall have all the benefit arising from the change . Under these circumstances , the duty of the working classes is clear and denned . It is their duty to watch what are kie cautious and
_rnude . vt concessions , and what the adjustment that Sir Roderj : Peel will propose , and what Lord _Jous will bid , while , at _tlu » same time , they should be prepared , through their leader in Parliament , Mr . Dux . co . ijbe , to state unequivocally what those concessions are , and ihat adjustment is , which must be part and parcel of their claim . For ourselves , we declare ibr nothing short of the principles contained in the People's Charter . And , as we believe the adoption of those principles to be the only means bv which revolution can be averted , we call upon even working man in the kingdom to arouse from his lethargy , and to he prepared' for that _sU-ug _^ le which is now at hand , and of which his share will be what his resolution and courage entitle him to , and no
more . It is enly out of the conflict of party that the people can look for their reward , and to insure it they must be prepared to take their part . _Although we write as if the struggle was over , yet we must not lose sight of the opposing power of our hereditary legislators . We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that their loyalty depends upon the slender thread of pro Jection ; nor can we convince ourselves that they will commit suicide at the bidding of their " _doaiing

chief . " However , be that as it may , our course is clear and defined . It is obstruction to all who will not make the , necessary concessions to popular requirement , and we wait for Lord John ' s second bid . Will it be the Land and the Charter ? if not , he must bid again . The only statesmanlike conclusion that we can draw from the policy of Sir Re-Brow ? Peel is , that war is inevitable , and that while he sops off the Free Traders with a repeal of the Corn Laws , he will at the same time , say to the landlords , ' There ' s war for you : ' a better protection than the Cera Laws , and a better sliding scale for prices than I have offered you ; and thus the Right Honourable Baronet hopes i to kill two birds with one stone .

If a master or mistress refuses to give a servant such character as they are entitled to , the servant has an action , and will be awarded damages against sueh master or mistress ; and generally damages are awarded so as to remunerate the servant mr loss of time as well as loss of character . James Wvatt . — We beg to inform the City locality , through Mr . Wyatt , that all reports of their meetings that have come to our office have been published in th _» Northern Star .
W . E ., MaNNINGIIAM , NEAR BRADFOBD .-The only custom , unfortunately , that the occupant could have held , is that of . landlord toleration . If the landlord seeks to eject him lie could give him a half year ' s notice , IV . Ii . W . must really think that we have a large amount of spare time upon our hands . He asks us to furnish him . with the name of a judge who tried a bigamy case seven years ago ; if . we don't know the name , he asks us to furnish him with the particulars , and if we know neither name or particulars , he requests us to send him a newspaper with the report . We cannot furnish either one or the other , and perhaps all may be superfluous it he had tliem , when we inform him that he is at perfect liberty to marry again if he Ms stated liis case truly . Renfrewshire Advertiser . —Vie find it quite as much as we can do to manage one newspaper , and must decline to purchase another .
W . _Bbook , Leeds —Wc should have the greatest pleasure in complying with his request , if it was at all possible , and tlie more especially as we are justly indebted a visit to our Leeds friends ; but the work that we have chalked out for next week is more than any person living in our present state of health would undertake ; a work which nothing short of our love of _Whiggery and the League would induce us to encounter ; and while engaged in which we must request as much free air as possible , and our friend Brook knows what we suffer from preach _, ing- in the _leeds boiler . He must , therefore , wait till we get more strength , or till he gets more wind . H . L ., PiiEsroN . — Mr . O'Connor begs to recommend all Mr . Cobbett ' s works on Agriculture , especially his " Cottage Economy . " The price of useful knowledge , properly entitled " . British Husbandry , " is , we believe , £ 212 s . Gd . complete , and therefore out of the reach of
the humble classes . -Mr . 0 Connor will shortly have ready for publication a new work upon small farms , with & u agricultural _encyclopedia , or dictionary , to he printed with the most important portions of his work upon Small Farms—one that he means to contain every single tittle of information , ev < -n to the boiling of potatoes , for the members ofthe Chartist Co-operative Land Society . Thomas L ., Manchester . —No . Thomas _Wilcock _, Bradvord . —We will give due ncticc of the time we may bu able to attend the proposed meeting . C . B ., Fen-ton , Staffordshire —We never give advice in quarrels between members of the families of working classes , except for the purpose of uniting them and saving law expenses . B . P ., _BiKiHNGUAJi . —What does he mean by asking ruch
a question ? of course tiie warrant of attorney from A . to 1 $ . gives him no further power than to act as his agent , and may be revoked at any time , nor does it de . stroy any of the rights of A . ' s heirs . J . K . C . —We have not as yet been able to ascertain the required information , but shall take the first opportunity of inquiring from our City friends as to where tents and iuarmics may be most advantageously purchased . J . L . B ., Hulme . —The two children have no right whatever to receive any portion of the property without a general understanding among the whole seven , unless the respective shares of each were particularly devised by the testator . As to putting the mutter into Chancery , it must be inferred that that was a notice intended to be given to the parties , aud a very foolish one it was , as the law vultures will swallow up the whole propcrtV .
It . J ., FaiufoiiD . — "We arc much obliged to you for the advice to print the Star in large type for the benefit of weak sight , our own being rather bad , and especially as it Would be a great saving to our pocket , while we fear that it would not be a satisfactory excuse for excluding a quantity of matter . IV . Beix , _Hevwood . —Mr . O'Connor will be happy to see him during his stay at Manchester , and if possible will Comply with his request . Isaac Keisale . —He has no possible means of re-possessing himself of the land upon which the chapel is built . Perhaps his best course would be to eject the congregation , and so try his title . Star . Agents . —We have received many complaints of a London agent either not supplying the Star or doing it in a very rude and unsatisiactovy manner . We regret the circumstance , but have no power to correct the evil . J . J ., Clitueroe . —The post master is not bound to sell a single stamp .
James Moo-key , ToDMonDrK . —If Mr . O'Connor ' s health will permit his longer stay . it Manchester than during the sitting ofthe conference , he will have much pleasure in addressing tiie people of Todmorden . Henry . Clarke , Stockfort . — The meeting of conference is so near at hand that Mr . O'Connor would rather dec-line giving any opinion upon tiie rules , while in the present case his answer would be certainly . Henry Davis , Clare Market . —Tlie above answer will also serve as answer to liis case . G . II . Y . —The custom is to allow apprentices the same time lis journeymen of the same trade for their meals , and G . II . Y ' s master has confirmed the eustom by so long preserving it . If the master stops liis wage for after hours , upon a summons before the magistrates he will be compelled to pay it . The law is very strict in such cases . G , W .

Sin , — "We , the members of Lower _"Wai-ley , are dissatisfied with the _prucccdiuys going on iu the West Hiding , fur the purpose of electing a delegate to tbe Manchester Land Conference , as we ami members from other _plaets went to the liiilifa . v nieetiiii ; , on Sunday , Xovemb _.-i- 33 rd , prepared with a candidate , and lo ! Mr . Joshua Ilobson came forward , and stated that it was too Into , and lie was very sorry for it . Himself and Mr . Crossley he said were tlie _CandidaIGS . _TllU memhui'S of the _sepai-ati ; localities were dissatisfied , and Mr . _Siiiith , of Halifax , were ordered to write to you for an explanation . As not one of the localities _, with the exception of Halifax and Huddersfield , had received their instructions . We have not voted for either of the above candidates . As we have received no satisfaction from you , I must tell you that there is dissatisfaction in tlie district . Some say that you are concerned iu the plot . Many have been to me to ask what I thought about vou ami tiic West _Kiiliiur . Yuurs . ( fee ..
John Lawson . Lower Wai-ley , November 30 tli , 1815 . In relation to the ahove statement , and the election of a delegate for the West Hiding generally , I can only state that myself ami Mr . _lloylu enclosed instruction papers to each locality iu the West Riding , and that Mr . iioyle _uunveyodthem to the l _' ost-oflice . _ily some mishap or negligence on the part ofthe I'ost-office authorities , it appearsthat they never reached their destination . Upon the _17 lh . of November 1 read a Utter from Mr , Stead , vtf Huddersfield , and on the ISth one from Mr . Crossland , of Halifax , informing me that they had not received these papers . 1 immediately posted another packet of them to , each of these gentlemen , the packet containing a notice for each locality 1 " the whole district . Up to this time l was ill perfect ignorance that the papers had not been received at the other places in tlie district . 1 heard no more upon the subject until November 24 th , when I received a letter
from Mr . Stead , stating that Air . llubson and M , Crossland were the only candidates , and that the ualhrt \ v « ll & take place on Sunday , at Halifax , Hebden iiriduc _, _Sowei-by _, & c but not even an allusion was made to the missing papers . This letter was posted on tlie Saturday , but was not received until the Monday , On Tuesday , the * ' - ' 5 lll , I received another coiumuntcation from Mr . " Stead , of which the following is an extract : — " I have read :: t » notice of any noniiuatiou fur our district , except Mr . llt * l > - son and Mr . Crossland , nml _CoiiSfiiueutly 1 wrote to earn ol the places named in tint elcctiuu papers you sent »»' j _informing them that those two gentlemen were tin : candidates for this district . 1 have since heard from a ;?<¦"•'• - ilenian who was at Halifax yesterday , that thev _comp _l-iia of not having received the notice to proceed to _* a nomination until after the weekly meeting , and that some of tl _* t ' villages had no notice whatever until they received mine yesterday morning , naming the two candidates . However , I think this should not be anv _obstacleas thvy
, Know tllC _llllllleS of two candidates , and may choose wliiea they think proper now . " The live o ' clock afternoon po _=: brought me also a letter from Mr . Smith , of Halifax , of which the following is a copv : — " Kind sir , vour letter , with postage stamps , I received this day , and I have seen a letter with Air . Crossland , stating that you wrote to ine Oil Thursday ( week ) , enclosing printed-circulars , ifcc . I have not received any such letter : likewise at a meeting of our members this evening , they request you wouid nwuish the following localities with printed circulars , _&• * ¦ , and to know if they could nominate a _candidate between tlie _-i-ind and the _tSuth :-Stainland , Ovenden , _lk-I'deii _llridge , Mountain , Loner Wai-ley , Sowei-by , Loiigroyd , Good sir , we will have another meeting this day week _, lie so good as to send mo mi _ausiver how we shall _at-t . Shall ail these places nominate a delegate , for at present there are conflicting opinions . Concerning the same , bowever , your answer , with your advice , will settle the doiii' _!* . Yours , ifcc , Chaklks W . Smith .
Immediately upon the receipt of this , I wrote to Miv Stead , _requesting iihn to keep the uoiiiiiuiUoti open until Friday , IVov . _astli , twelve o ' clock ; I ulsu sent a circulur to each locality in the district , stating that the nomination was open until the 2 !) tli ; and a letter to Mr . _Smiiii , explanatory of the mishap , I have thus done all in my power to accommodate all pin tics , aud remedy , as far as possible , the delay and vexation consequent upon tlie misunderstanding . I iim grieved that any of _tfie localities Should abstain from voting on this account , and trust will deem this minute explanation a sufficient answer to the charge of my being a party to any i _. _let , eou _-iUy injurious to my own , as to their interest .

Luesday, Ann Callaghan, Aged '. '2, Was ...
luesday , Ann Callaghan _, aged ' . ' 2 , was found guilty of stealing from the person of Mr . Thomas Walkins a valuable silver watch , his property . The complainant had been accosted in the Borougb-road ' by the prisoner , w . o solicited him to accompany her home to her residence , but he refused to do so , and walked away from her . The prisoner , however , followed him to the Surrey Theatre , when she came in front of him , and giving a sort ofa twitch round close to his person , ran away , and joined a man who stood about twenty-yards off . Her manner , the fact of her running away , caused his suspicion , and induced him to examine his pocket , when he found that his watch was gone . She was immediately captured by the police , and the watch found in her bosom . The Chairman sentenced her to tcn . veuvs transportation , and she was removed from the bar bellowing at the top of her voice , and uttering tiie most frightful oaths against the chuivtna . u , prosecutor . & c ,
