^ - GRBA . T AGRICULTURAL MEETING IN DUBLIN . ( Abridged from the Dublin Monitor , of Thursday , the IZth imtant . J On this day , one of the most influential and important meetings that , within our recollection , has been held in Dublin , took place at the Royal Exchange , for the purpose of promoting the agricultural prosperity of the country . On no prerjou occasion has there ever assembled in Ireland such an assemblage of gentlemen representing so many different and adverse political
opinions and religious sentiments , and on no previous occasion has so practical and useful a result followed their proceedings . From the most remote parts of Ire-, hmd , country gentlemen attended to give their *^ e ! - son&l assent and approbation to the object content , plated by tbe requisition ; and an amount of , property and influence was represented which was . as unanticipated by the most sanguine friends of the movement , as it must have been Be&rt-stirriog and gratifying to rts originator . At a few moments past two o ' clock ,
The Duke ot Lei . vstbe to caQed to the casir , and Mr . Petest- Pubceil was appointed Honorary Secretary . . A number of letters were read from , geatlenaen who had been Invited to attend , but who from various causes declined doing so . Tha 9 o * bRart Secretary explained at length the objects feCthe Tnao ^ Tig , and jn the course of his observa lions ' skid , when they considered the extent of soil remaining Tmprodactvre in Ireland , and the number of hands unemployed , it was not too much to say that tbe population was not too great for the agricultural resources of the country . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not despair of seeing the Societies of Ireland placed upon a footing with the Agricultural Societies of England .
nor did he despair % i seetag Ireland a garden . ( Cheers > Having stated that tie first object wai to form a nucleus round waich other Societies might rally , the speaker said it was also intended to have provincial meetings , upon a similar plan to that adopted by the Agricultural Societies of Enrland and Scotland . Meetings should be held in , for instance , Cork , Belfast , and Dublin ; and they should have four places for their exhibitions . ( Hear , bear . ) Another of their objects was to'diffuse agricalturil knowledge through a cheap portion of the press . ( Hear , hear . ) The English and Scotch Societies had established quarterly journals , which were eminently calculated to improve the condition of their people . iBeor , hear . )
The H&rguu of Kildxhs proposed the next resolution ' : — ' ' That it is to be lamented that notwithstanding the facilities and natural advantages which the soil . elimate , and population of Ireland afford for agricultural productions , the cultivation of the land shcwM be grossly neglected , and the system of husbandry in general uie far behind the improvements which science and experience have brought to bear npon agriculture , and diffused so beneficially throughout England and Scot * lind . "
Mr . ITapeb said it gave him the greatest pleasure and sitisfaction to have tbe honour of seconding the resolution conferred upon him . IWsrda the conclusion of this f entlemen ' s remarks , in alluding to the state of the country , he remarked that the homes of ihe poor people throughout the country , were literally worth nothing—they were not fit for habitation . In traversing the bogs as a sportsman , many a time he had seen the game fall at the deor of tbe poor man , —those wretched hovels were not fit for the dogs over which he had shot iBear , hear . ) Mr . Kaper again congratulated the meeting upon the eo-operation of the noblemen whom he saw around him , and who , he was assured , were prepared with himself to do their duty towards the country . ( Loud cheers . ) I *> rd Cxbew then presented himself to the meeting , and was received with cheers . His Lordship moved the second resolution : —
" That from the defective system « f husbandry in Ireland , and the want of judiciously developing tbe resources of the country , the amount of agricultural produce is far below the capabilities ^? the land , or what " I 111 if fl f " 1 Hi Ii lilMll iigi iri rtilll
iMUMDee of modern times ) can easily dexmrnnn tbe 8 o 4 L It is manifest , therefore , that any improvement in agriculture must not only increase # or national wealth , but conduce considerably to the comfort and prosperity of the inhabitants . * Sir Michael Dilloj ? Bellew , Bart , seconded tbe resolution , which was carried unanimously . Baron De Roebeck moved , and Sir Geo . Hodson seconded the following : — " That it is desirable , for the improvement of husbandry in all its branches , that a head or parent society should be formed in Dublin , to be called The Irish Agricultural Society , 'founded upon the same principles , and calculated , as we should hope , to realise the ame benefit * to Ireland , which have been already produced by the chartered Agricultural Socistie * in England and Scotland . " The resolution was then put , and carried unaai > mously .
The Pbotdst next came forward , and was greeted with enthusiastic spplwae . He rose , he said , U propose a resolution which was placed in his bands ; and he felt mneh pleasure in taking any part , no matter however humble , in the important proceedings » f that day . ( Cheers . ) He , for one , looked on it as one of the most auspicious which had occurred for a great period indeed ; because all that Ireland wanted to be rendered hfppy an 4 peaceable , was to have her population advantageously employed . ( Lond cheers . ) There were ample opportunities tor doing so good a work ; they bad a great quantity of land , which was most fit for agricultural produce , and a vast number of labourers , who were totally unemployed . < Cheers . ) Why should that land be allowed to remain idle , or ratherthoselabourersunemployed ? Because they wanted the assistance of some hutKaae and generous spirits , to set those advantages at work . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) He cencluded by moving the next resolution : —
" That the primary object of this society should be to enter into communication with , and to encourage the fonnatiouof local societies in every quarter of the country ; so « s to extend its benefits into the most remote districts , where aid and assistance are mos £ required ; and for this purpose , that every deacriptioH of practical and useful information be collected and diffused as generally as pBSsibls , and & constant intercourse established wita those who are desirous to co-operate . " Captain Dr > 5 E seconded the reMolation , and said—He resided in a district where there was , unfortunately ,
a large quantity-of waste land , which could , with little difficulty , be reclaimed and made productive if the peooaly knew how to go about it . ( Hear , hear . ) That they would at once set about it he had no doubt , if the means were givm them ; for certainly the charge of a want of industry could not with tenth be imputed to them ( Hear , hear . ) The ben means of supplying them both with the necessary means and information was , he conceived , to be found in the establishment of farming societies . .. The resolution was carried unanimously .
"William Sha&kax CBAwroED , Esq ., came forward to move the succeeding resolution , and was received with loud and continued cheers . He said—My Lord Duke and gentlemen , I have great satisfaction in being enabled to join the -nobleman and gentlemen assembled heie-to-day in the laudable and useful object in which they are engaged . I rejoiced greatly to hear tbe sentiment put forth by a preceding sp « sker , to the effect that one of the leading objects of the association in process of formation is the promotion ef the interests ef tbe small farmers . { Cheers . ) I am glad that it will go forth from this influential meeting that the small farmers of the country are not to be dispossessed . tCheers . i I believe there is no better way of advancing their interests than the establishment of tbe ares&nt
association . I have some experience of the practical utility of farming societies , ttnt several have been established in that part of tbe county where I reside ; and I can bear testimony to the powerful aid which they have given , wherever adopted , in the improvement of the cultivation of the country , and the habits and condition of the people . ( Cheers : ) It is melaneholy to reflect that , although considerable advances have been made in agricultural operations ( hear , hear ) of late years , the condition of the working classes has not been ameliorated in the same proportion . I trust , however , that the time is coming whea the progress of agricultural improvement will do something for them . ( Hear . ) Let it be borne in mind that the highest wages on an average which a labourer can at present obtain is only eightpencea-day , and even that not for ateoostaney .
Supposing , however , that he obtains it for a constancy , it amounts only to £ 10 a-ye&r ; and how is It possible for a poor man to support existence o » such a miserable pittance ? . ( Bear , hear . ) It is n # wander , indeed , that he is compelled to live in the miserable hovel so feelingly described by a tfenUeman who preceded me ; lor the only thing that can surprise any one is , how they <* " ¦ " continue to live like human beings at all on the allowance . The Income of the labourer who has constant work is , then , £ 10 a year , out of which he has to pay , at least £ 2 a-year for house rent , and the clothing necessary for himself and family cannot certainly be procured under £ 5 a-year . Here are £ 5 gone in necessaries with which he cannot dispense . ( Hear , hear . ) If he has to buy fuel—and there are great numbers who cannot obtain it unless they buy it—it will wst him , fully £ 2 a year , and thm then remains jo& £ &

foe himself and family fo frve on . ( Hear ; . *** ' . ) Ha k placed in saoh a aiteaUta that he mustfSther want food , «* the ottwc aeewwatie * of life which I have adverted to ; and the eonaeqnenoa ta , that he does want th * m . ( Hear , hear . ) He Is , therefore , compelled to oeeapy a honsVuot fit for the residence of hamas beingi ; and Instead of chrthing , to cover himself with whatevw rag * chanee throws in bis way . ( Hear , bear . ) With ntaoect to fael—If he hasatraw , be will gladly burn it , but if not , he must use some material even inferior . ( Hear . ) One of the principal object * ot this association will be , I trust , to see in what way the income of the working man can be increased , so as to give him the means of living ^ . There U thU difficulty in the way , that if his wage * are raited , the farmer may not have it in bis power to
employ him , and I shall therefore proceed to point out a way in waich his comforts and means of living can be increased , eves thdogb his wages are not raited . In order to effect this , I would propose to let tbe labourer have an allotment of land . ( Cheers . ) . Let him have a portion of load to labour at , which will not take up much of his time except during bis leisure hours , and with the help of his family it will supply the necessaries of existence , thus leaving bis wages to procure him the comforts . ( Cheer *) I will suppose then that the labourer has " an English acre of fair land , half of which he puts under potatoes . This will produce about 156 bushels , or three bushels a week , which will be sufficient for his maintenance ( Hear , hear . ) On the other half he can have corn ,
which will give him maal enough for the suppart of his family ; and on the refuse of the potatoes . he can feed twe small pigs . ( Hear , bear , bear , and cheers . ) By using the straw for bedding under the pigs , he will obtain a sufficient supply of manure for hit potatoes in the ensuing year . ( Hear , hear . ) . By treating , his land in this manner ha will be independent in softie degree of low wages ^ and of occasional absence ot employment ( Cheers . ) jfo society of this kind can be of utility sales * its main object is the bettering the condition of the working cb&seagenerally ; and I conceive that the best way of advancing the manufacturers of the country is to put it in the power of the agricultural portion of the people to use them . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) tfftnufaejwet and agriculture are tntl >
mately combined and related , and I-beMew 4 £ at tbe happiest state of society will be found in a nation where tbe manufacturer has a portion of land allotted to him , so as to enable him to be independent of the wages of his labour . In mj opinion , a people to be happy should have the means of obtaining the necessaries of life from land belonging to themselves ( Hear , hear , and cheen . ) There is another view , my Lord Duke , which I take of the subject , and which I deem an essential matter for the improvement of Ireland ; if either the large farmer or small fanner be expected to improve their holdings , they must ^ e secured in the amount they have expencltd ua them , and they must be reasonably secured in the value of the labour that they have expended in these farms . ( Hear . > In other parts of the empire it Is the habit of the landlord * to make permanent improvements for the tenants at their own costs , but it has not , or is sot the
habit in this country—and , therefore , when a man expends his capital in improvements , and makes improvements in hi * holdings by the sweat of his brow , for this is his capital , it is only fair and just that some legal means should be afforded him to establish a right to value of these improvements , in case he is dispossessed—( cheers )—vod I trust , that it may be an object fox the consideration of the society , to think of some equitable mode by which the tenant will have a proper security for what he has so laid out , in . such term * as will be satisfactory and jost to both landlord and tenant . ( Cheers . ) My Lord Duke , as I before stated , I shall be most happy to gire every aid in my power to this association . I trust it will progrew , and that from the commencement we have made , it will tell at a future day , in the increasing and lasting prosperity of the country . ( Cheers ) My Lord , I have to move the following resolution : —
" That for the purpose of establishing a fund for tbe formation of the society , a subscription list be now opened for donations and subscriptions , and thai tbe bujded proprietors of tne country be principally etlled upon ^ to contribute , from the vast benefit which their estates and interest * must derive from the operations of the society ; but in order to include all classes generally , that payment 9 t one pound annually shall constitute a member . '' Geoege M'Caktney , Esq ., of the County of Antrim , supported tbe next resolution at some length , and , amongst many other judicious observations ,
said" Improve the agricultural resources of the country , and you increase employment among the labouring classes , and decrease the poor rates . ( Hear , bear . ) It is the interest of the proprietors , therefore , to forward these objects ; for there is no use blinking the question —any person that loots at the operation of tbe poor laws must see that eventually the proprietor must pay the rate . iHear , hear , and cheers . ) Therefore , let tbe proprietors empley the people , and they will not have poor rates to pay . " ( Cheers . ) He concluded by seconding the resolution .
average rate of wages did not exceed 8 d . a day ; bat he . could tell tbe meeting that in the west of Ireland the average amount did not exceed fid . a day . ( Hear , hear . f In payments for con-acre rents , a higher rate , mighl sometimes be given ; but when payments were made in hard cash , Gd . was above the average price paid tot labour . Was it in human nature to continue to bear Up against such a system as Uut * Why , or how could it be supposed , that men living on . such a pittance , could make good subjects , or happy and honest citizens . ( Hear , hear . )
Jahes Watt , Esq ., then addressed the meeting , and at the conclusion took occasion to make the following very interesting and gratifying statements : —I an acquainted wilh a certain district not far frem Thurles , where , for the last five years , there was not a single criminal because of the introduction of industrious and agricultural habits—but , where previously there was not a single year but there ir «* a public execution ( Hear , hear . ) On my first visit there , I was an utter stranger , and as such , looked very narrowly into the circumstances of the people , and truly- their state was wretched . I recommended an amelioration in their rents , whieh was acquiesced in . ( Cheers . ) I recommended the people tbenm-lres to commence tne improvement of their land , and to assist them I bad sent there a very competent person to carry out Mr . Blaster ' s system ; and when they perceived that I had no sinister motive , such was their anxiety to improve their own condition , that the progress they have made is inconceivable . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr U . macke moved that a' committee be appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting , and Christopher Fitzsimox seconded it He alluded to the allotment system in the following terms : —Mr . Shannon Crawford had shown , with bis usual power and energy , the necessity of having some reciprocity of feeling between landlord and tenant ; for it was partly owing to this desideratum that the country was in such a miserable condition . ( Hear , hear . ) He had shown them that they required that reciprocity , while p England it existed with all its advantages . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He ( Mr . Fitnimon ) was not blaming individuals , but be did condemn the system ; the permanent improvement * that were effected in England were ¦ wanting in Ireland ; and it -was to achieve this most desirable Object they had that day assembled . ( Applause . ) Other suggestions had been thrown out tbat were equally worthy of consideration—the allotment system—for having small portions of land , for
instance . ( Hear , hear . ) It was scarcely necessity , to say what advantage it would be if a poor man , after ten or tweWe hours' hard labour , on a summer ' s evening , could go into his little garden to spend his leisure hours in the improvement of his crop , and to employ bis family in joint industry with him , who were otherwise unemployed . Instead of sending their population to other countries—instead of encouraging emigration to the foreign regions of Canada , or the more salubrious perhaps , but be feared less certain climate , South Australia—instead of permitting their countrymen from the north , south , east , and west of Ireland to roam abroad in search of employment , they should afford them the inducement to remain at home , by providing labour for them in reclaiming the million * of acres that were still uncultivated in Ireland . It might be asked why it was tbat vast tracts were in thia uncultivated condition ? His reply was , tbat such was the case , because of tbe situation in which property was placed in this country .
Tbe Hon . E . Lawless then proposed a list of gentlemen to constitute the committee , which was seconded by Sir T £ Bsr Ncoest , Bart , who made a pithy and eloquent address , and remarked therein that the suggestion contained at the foot of tha resolution—that the committee should have the power to add to their number—was a highly Important one , because by that mean * there could be working men amongst them . ( Bear-i He differed with
Mr . FiUsimon in one point dwelt on by that gentleman —namely , thait the wheel should go before the plough . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) In his opinion the plough should go before the wheel ( hear , bear , hear ) and that until they could bring the state of the agricultural country to toe best possible description of improvement , they would not succeed in any ether measure to benefit the condition of the lower classes . ( Hear , hear , bear * and loud cheers . ) He had only to szy that every exertion he was cspable of should be given to forward this most excellent undertaking . ( Cheers . )
Mr . O'CoxaoB , of the county Cork , proposed the next resolution : — Resolved—That all monies received os account of donations and subscriptions for tha Agricultural Society , be publicly acknowledged and lodged in the bank of Messrs .

Itis notplaoed at the head of this article as a beacon , or nape rallying point for freemen , ; it is put there as » warning to thorn who have too long tampered and played with a yet forbearing , but enraged lion—pBblio o ^ iaion ; jnaddened by odious distinctions , and roused to a sense of its own strength , and its enemies' weakness ,, , Those who baild upon making successful experiments upon tha [ people ' s endurancenou > , have reckoned withont ; thfjr { i jioBt . In olden times , when the unwilling idler had » resting place in his native parish granteg . to b& as au unredeemable mortgage , in
which , frpm hlcth , h « had a life interest , those who ruled were avowed to make experiments to a large exten ; : ti& $ * ot , in days of prosperity , wte of despotism jmw be perpetrated without further oppositiQn . tWltbat which arises from a Bense of pride totf p lsfe « f liberty in a few breasts ; but now , t ^ wAt est abuse snjells rank as eurion obi tl ^ JaRn < H . \ and tender-nosed poverty , fceea&tf :. « S « * , onc ^ wt upon the game , cannot be easily whipped ; off . ' The people cannot now afford those experiments which were wont to be practised without a murmur . They have troly been thrown npop their own resources ; and to those , and ihose alone , they look for a correction of
all evils . In discussing the question , therefore , of a Monarchy , we take a Republic to be no more nor less than a ^ Monarchy . Whether the head be an elected president , . or hereditary chief magistrate , he is yet the monarch—the one chief , the tnotuu'ttrchon , the single head . . We regard O'Connob ' s definition of Monarchy as good ;—he says , " firstly , let the laws be yielding
to mercy and stem against oppression , with an executive exacting an implicit obsdience to their mild authority . Let your legislative breathe the mild spirit of the iamb , and your executive possess the bdd heart of a lion . Give me power behind the throne greater than the throne itself , and I car * not wlat you call , or how you elect , him who sits upon the throne ; and , were I to decide , I should then choose an hereditary one , with a power behind to remove upon just cause . ,
* I prefer this title to the elective , for two reasons . Firstlj , because the controlling power would render any abuse easy of correction , upon ttere remonstrance ; and , secondly , because the certainty and fixedness would stifle jealousy and lewd ambition , whieh might otherwise destroy even the harmony of a Republic . But , in this I but claim the right of individual opinion . "
We have before expressed our entire concurrence in t ^ e prinoi ple laid down in the above passage ; and , without , venturing a canvass , too minute , of matter which should be left to the united voice of the people , instead of the most influential , to decide upon , let wfor a moment consider some of the maxims whkh at present adorn our Constitution , and see whether of not those which may be considered fundamental ones , are not , eaoh and every one , in favour of a Monarchical Re ublic . By which we would be understood to mean , always , a Monarchy with Republican institutions . First , wf take that / Which is thrown round the ; Mo » aTfii , a * , a shMfaeaiast an a&sault for derelio &mm ^^^^^^ si ^ m no wronfi ^ This , like many other beautiful maxims , has become a joke ; while , in fact , it is our strongest guarantee , if actedLupon , against monarchical optpnseion or aristocratic encroachment ; inasmuch , as'H eimpljr means that the Ring is but the servant of the laws , which spring from the people , the source of all legitimate power ; and that , therefore , in putting those laws in force , be they never bo tyrannical , the Monarch is not chargeable with wrong ;
infict , the King , under the law , has no power to do wrong . It is only when the Monarch and his Ministers act against the law , or in violation of law , tbat we have been in the habit of considering this wise maxim ; and , therefore , have the people lost sight of the beauties of that Constitution , which their ignorant and barbarous ancestors left as a defence against monarchical aggression and aristocratic tyranny , and as a monument of British liberty . '
The Monarch , then , upon his part , acquiesces , by entering upon the functions of his office , in those terms which the Constitution prescribes for the administration of law , and for his own protection against a charge of doing wrong . The maxim upon which he is bound to act runs thus—Nulli vendemus , nulh negabimusn aut differemus justitiam vel rectum —we sell nothing , we deny nothing , neither do we impede or delay justice or right .
Now , we ask , does any " bloody-minded Chartist " who reads this require more \ while we ask , on the other hand , whether wrong , and great wrong , has not been done , in selling everything to the rich —in denying everything to the poor , and in impeding , delaying , and withholding justice and right from them ! < Herein , theD , lies the diffarenee , * and that difference has been most galljng ^ y exemplified in those instan ^ Ba to which we have referjed .. We find a soldier , —we will admit an honourable
man , —not only rewarded with a pension for life , for his own military services bestowed upon a rich company of monopolists , —the East India Company , and to be paid out of the hard earnings of the ^ poor ; but we further find ' that it . is entailed apon heirs yet to come—to be paid by generations yet to follow , if they are fools enough to rabmit to it , while , perhapsrthe "««^ es of him to whom it is granted , even supposin ^ $ hem to \>? brilliant , patriotic , and praiseworthy ^ »* $ ^ be put to shame by the delinquency of a deg ^ tWate successor . We ask , then , if it is right or / ug l that a gambler , a drunkard , or a tyrant , shooTJ plead the service of his grandfather , for a draft of £ 2 , 000 ' per annum upon , a virtuous and
overtaxed people ? ^ Again , in the ease of Lord Cardigan , which we havejelsewbere more nicely scrutinised , can any man , rot a Peer , lay his hand upon his heart , and say 'Not" Guilty , " as the law stands for ' the poor , "UPON afcY HONOUR t" and yet-did ti p mock ceremony—this pageant , cost five times as much as could be raised by the whole nation for the defence of those who were not tried by their peers , but , without trial , were declared guilty by their masters .
Again , in the case of Waldkorave and Duw , where * Chief JoBtice allows time for a , compromise , and tlwArtorney- General becomes ^ the intercessor for the noble ' accuBed , for most brutal and outrageous treatment of the poiice , whom the people are told they are especially to respect , and sot to oppose even in self-defence , though wrong in , the execution of tbeirduty ; and thia , all this , while Mitchm-i . and Davies , two poor Chartists , after having goffered eighteen months' imprisonment , were still lingering to Chester gaol , ( although their time had expired , ) for vrant of £ 2 , 000 bail ; for working men , who could not earn that amount in the longest life ; and . this is neither delaying nor impeding justice 1
These M » the things which rub the sore , and fester the wound ; these are the things , and not violent speeches , which place the barrier between Ihe people and those who afflict them . These are the things . which make all within the pale arrogant , seeare « 1 "tti presumptuous ; and ail without , doubtful * suspicious , attd unconfiding . Perhaps the greatest difficulty -with wii » n we hall have to contend , in treati » £ of a . Repubiie ,

will be that of keeping our . readers alive to the difference between the President and the Republicthe Monarch and the Monarchy . It is not of the monarch we complain ; it is upon the monarch ' s account , as well as upon account of the people , we complain . It is of the substitution of an oligarchy for the nation that we complain . The monarch is to monarchy no more than the shapeless block of marble is to the all but breathing statue . The monarch jg to monarchy , in point of cxpence , but as
Aeinjple and inexpensive miniature , superbly set in costly diamonds . Itis of the tail of the comet thai ? - we complain . We complain that we have now a monarch and an oligarchy reciprocating false and unconstitutional support and protection . We complain , and with sorrow , that the nation is not ruled by any single one of the principles of the Constitution , while , such as they are , the laws have two points—the sharp for the poor , and the blunt for the rich .
The expenoe of the monarch is made a subject of bitter , and frequent complaint ; while it is but as a drop of water to the ocean , compared to the expence of the oligarchy . Much better would it be to give to a monarch , who was thereby rendered independent of hw tail , a million—nay , five millions—a year , if expence made any portion of justice , than limit that monarch to an income critically measured by the amount of monies , which , in return , he could allow to be filched from the commonwealth , and expended upon the oligarchy . It is of this evil that we complain .
The Keake job—the Cardigan business—the Lord Waldrqbjlxz job , and all other aristocratic abominations , ¦' . ¦¦*• the expensive " oottlugs" by bywhich , a&yahy ifl adorned . Tlte Batlon , thea ; has dwindled into an oligarchy , and Goo grant that the monarch may not dwindle into a common-place miniature , rendered more conspicuously ridiculous by contrast with the expensive beauties "' -by which she is surrounded ! We have asked " what ' s in a name ; " and we shall now proceed to answer the question .
We have more than once read speeches of Mr . O'CWor , in which he has used these words , " Believe me there is much in a name . The Whigs , ashamed of their name , have exchanged it for Reformer ; the Tories have ohanged theirs to Conservative ; while the Radicals of to-day , being nothing ashamed of their name , are the same as the Radicals of last century ; therefore , I would recommend you , by all means , to keep your name , and look for the Charter ; for the very moment you step out , some other party will personate you and step into your shoes . " We
find this prediction true to the letter . The Household Suffragists are now assuming the name of Radical . But for the value of a name , Tory , Whig , Jacobin , Jacobite , and Radical , have , in their infancy and weakness , one and all been submitted to that nominal ordeal which an unexplained designation of a political sect has to pass through . Nay , even Christianity itself , has not been less assailed by the name which different sects have chosenfor distinction from the parent root . The name of a new sect , whether theologically or politically applied , has to bear all the odium to which the weakness ofan infant creed is subject .
Radicalism , which our would-be-leaders would now throw over the faded garment of Whiggery , was in its infancy coupled with every thought , sentiment , and expression which could render its professors contemptible in the opinion of their fellowmen . How many have been prematurely consigned to the cold grave , for the crime which the nominal distinction attached to its votaries ! "Radical , " even in 1819 , was a bye-word of reproach , and rendered a man ' s life insecure , as "Jacobin" did in the days of French revolution buggabooism . Radloalism , at lengthy passed through the nominal ordeal ; its persecutions , prosecutions , trials , imprisonments , fines , * adJ » nmj ^
ijH PIBrin ^^ bad luck , or some envious demon , jealous of tb £ good it promised , threw the new-fangled cloak of Chartism over the Radical coat of mail . This , as a matter of course , subjected the professors of nothing more than the old creed to a repetition of all that abuse which Radicalism had passed through and survived . Hence , we find Chartism associated with "destruction of life and
property , " " usurpation of other ' s lands , " " spoliation , " "blood-thirstiness , " " violence , " " cruelty , " "despotism , " "torch and dagger , " « infidelitx , " " idleness , " " lewdnesB , " "debauchery , " and , in ' short , crime of every shade and colour . These new changes , merely nominal , subjected the old principle , in its new "dress , to precisely the same pains , penalties , and prosecutions to which Radicalism was , in its infancy , subjected ; the only difference being this , that Chartism was strong enough to make a very noble and powerful stand in
the outset , otherwise we should have had a repetition of hanging and cruelties , much worse even than we have bad . Thus this very new name has been the source of much sorrow to individuals ; while , as matters have now terminated , we are ready to confess that the cause has derived benefit from the novelty , which , however , rather proves the strength and resolution of the Radical ranks , than any disinclination on the part of the oppressors to take all advantage which the experiment presented .
Now , as regards a Republic . No man can attempt to rummage the old catalogue of Billingsgate for a nick-name , or -disparaging title , for that form of government ; inasmuch as the Court of St . James ' s but awaits the fitting time , which is the moment of independence , to declare its approval by an exchange of ambassadors , and the recognition of its government . In 1762 , and even to the gloriously intended , bat
unfortunately terminated , French Revolution , of 1792 , from that period till the growth of American power cast ridicule upon the ridioulors , the very name of Republican was worse , ten _ thousand times , than that of thief . In England a man might bear , deserve , and yec prosper under the latter designation ; while , if allowed to live and bear the former , his life would be the life of a martyr . No man can now use the word Republican as a term of reproach , without making himself an object of pity or contempt .
So far we have shown the vast importance ;« $ fc name ; and we now come to the consideration oif . the prinoiple , aa applicable to the times we live in and the different materials of which society hi odm > posed . •¦ ¦ ¦ ¦"¦ '" . : ¦ ¦ ¦" ¦ - ¦ " ' ' "' : ' ¦ **' We do not take the narrow aud isolated view which tne Mabshaxls and Stansfelds take of the ' large question , which they lug in as a clap-trap , while they are actually destroying the very one thing contemplated by that form of government , namely , the dignity of man ; that process by which the meanest and poorest becomes an admitted unit of the great whole ; thereby always having promotion within his reach , which can only be retarded by natural causes or self neglect . These men , in their wanderings remind us of breaking a fly upon the
wheel . We do not wish to see another York and Lancaster—red and white rose—Plantagaaet and Tudor—STOABiand BaUKSWJCK—ClJMBEBLANDand TlCTOBIA —Protestant and Catholic , civi , ! war , contention , and strife ; and therefore we throw overboard all analogy to the working of Republican Governments in minor continental states without any one of the features of society which England presents . We take England aa England is , not as England would be were oblivion cast over the past , and werema ? with his increased knowledge called upon to legislate for a new , a uniform , and equal state of sooiety ; in fact , to cast it anew from nature ' s mould .
We might aa well justify the prudence of ¦ taking Napw * and Wellington change places upon the eve of a great naval , aud military engagement , as bring to our aid , in discussing the question of a Republican form of Government , its working is states wholly different in

manners , customs , interests , resources , social an 4 political arrangeBientfi and economy ; the gallant Admiral would find himself at sea in the fieM , while the Noble Dnke would find himself stranded on the main . ¦ "' . " ' " Inasmuch , then , as we have beaded this article "Republic , " as a warning to those who feel inclined to bend the already overstrained tow still further , rather than as declaratory of our approval of an elective Monarchy in the present state of English
society , we tell our rulera that the word Republic il for ever pnrged from all danger of NOMHUtcoqtempt and disrepute ; while those dangers which the most virtuous may . dread , and try all virtuous meads of evading , will be lost sight of in maddening contemplation upon present misery , and to avoid which , many good men , in their frenzy , would be driven , from all consideration of consequences to a sudden , resolve that the change , whatever it may be , and however violent , can only disturb that portion « f society which now lives upon existing abuse .
England is now in that nnsettled state that' { h > most trifling Occurrence may lead , -not .-only to ihe declaration of a Republic , but to a sanguinary revolution . The death of our Queen and the Princess Royal ; the death of Louis Pbiupp& ; or even the execution of Mr . M'Ljbod , may lead to a revolution ; while a declaration of war by America and France against this country , would inevitably lead to . the establishment of a Republic , if not previouslystopped by the coticeasiofi of the Charter . America ,
m the true spirit of the Word , is not a Republicbecause its Government sanctions a trade in human flesh of its own 8 nbje (^ .. > 'Pra ? oj . ^ TeK-AaittA « f ' mated tuwarOs Republicanism , because it held Bteteft , as colonial posw ^ ons , ¦ which Aou ^^ fr ^ ^ RepuWic , in the true nwning and . governing ace * ptation of the word , can hold dominion over countrie * separated from the Republic by natural barriers or acknowledged artificial boundaries , which operate to the prevention of its laws and institutions from
being-suitable for the prosperity of the dependant state . .- : -. . r . ' This country should not withhold any measure based on justice : and , for . this reason ; it fetters -hef hands , and her domestic inquietude makes her ane ^ sj * prey to other nations . She ig in a completely artificial state . If ever England should become a Republic , the artificial boundaries by which powerful tyrants * possessions are now marked , would fall as leaves before the wind . That balance of power , for which the poor and industrious of this country have so long paid , would no longer maintain the Russian despoil
hold of blood-stained Poland . The Confederation of the Rhine would be but a fairy tale ,, or as . a dewweb opposed to marching liberty . The Canadiwryei unborn , or now in arms , would smile when told in manhood , that his country was once go * verned by an English titled tradesman , as the Viceroy of an English Monarch . The Belgian , whom Cawar described as the bravest of the three divisions of Gaul , would find that he had but got i fashionable gambler , instead of a commercial old
usurer , for a monarch . Tie Gipsey King would once more rear his ' brawny arm against the Sublime Porte . Port Arthur wonld cease to be a blackhole for English gentlemen who loved their country . Van Diemen ' s Land would prove that altered circumstances make altered men , by presenting English ' thieves as obedient subjects to just laws ; aud Congress , and the Holy Alliance , would be no more than the dolorous meeting of political old maids , assembled to talk and weep over their faded loveliness , withered charms , and departed power .
Let it be borne in . mind that the tame causes , which lead to an increasing demand for redress of grievances , and administrative improvements , may ; also lead to a demand for an increase of power . ' East Retford , Gatton , and Old Sarum , were . de-j fended till the whole citadel of corruption fell before the force , which could -not storm these single foW tresses pi ; abuse . ThVr ^ ij ioB of negro slaianr pfff otrt ^^ w ' ^ m ^ ' ti ^ - Tiim ^ i s ^ ii % abuses . A demand for the total abolition of dih « sareee ; out of the obstinate refusal of churchmen to make any , even the slightest , concession ; nay , in
theirboldness , they even denied the right of Parliament ' to interfere . Before America struck » blow for her independence , she petitioned year after year for the ) ; preservation of British connection , testified her lovo for , and loyalty to , the most doating old fool of »¦ ' monarch that ever sat . upon throne or stool , while ; she complained solely of the acts of administration , ' and the corruption of Parliament . From 1733 till the revolution of 1798 , Ireland pursued a pre- otsely similar course , filling petitions with the most loyal protestations , but denouncing the acts of administration ; in fact , approving the monarch , bat ¦ reprobating the oligarchy . The Chartists have done precisely likewise r they say , we want but our
rights , and are ready to guarantee the rights , the . fullest rights , which the constitution awards to the monarch , but we object to the acts of adminis- . tration , and the corruption . ' which the monarch is forced to sanction , for the immediate possession of unjust power . In fine , then , we have no objection ' to the highest colouring of the royal portrait , provided we do not pay too dear for the brilliants by which royalty is surrounded . We are ready to admit the youth , beauty , virtue , and loveliness ! of our Queen , while we cherish the gallant idea thai . beauty when unadorned is most adorned . It is , therefore , to the expensive setting , and not to the simple picture , that we object . -, . ' .. \
We have shown the slight circumstances which may lead to a revolution , or the declaration © f '/ Republic ; let us now give a still more ludicrous , but . not less true instance of the faot . The following ; short Act of Parliament would lead to a revolution , ' a Republic , or the Charter , - in oae month :-- " Beit . ; enacted , that from and after . ihe first of April next , no newspaper shall publish any advertisement * .. under a penalty of , £ 20 for every saoh offende , " Now , these twenty-fi ve words from the word tfcat £ } to the word " offence , " being in numberoneless ' tfuw : tbe alphabet , would gallop . u * into a headlong revo- ' lution . :.. ..
