      TO THE INDUSTRIOUS PORTION OP THE MIDDLING CLASSES .

      " Fofgiyeness to the injured doth beleng . " GEtTLEHKK , —For & long time yon . have closed joar ears against reason , and shut your eyes against the haTOC that you haTe made . Has experience , as yet , made you wi&e , or has a fellow feeling made you kind ? If so , the time has arrived when Bian maj appeal to yon , when judgment and the . yoiee of knowledge may complete the . triumph of right oTer might . How foolish , tow very foolish it is , that two parties struggling apparently for the

      same object } Ehould allow a phantom to separate them ; out ' - proportion as their position becomes assimilated , in the same rate does the phantom lose its horror . The party that robbed the people are novr robbing you ; so long as their plnnder was confined to the people , you . aided the plunderers and cheered them on in their mad career . You refused to listen to the claims which industry was making on its own and your behalf , while you went blindfold as it were u > the jury box , and on your oaths pronounced a Yerdict of guilty against your best , your only friends . You knew that bo long as one

      hundred millions sterling was annually paid , in national and local taxation , to a law church and useless professions dedicated to discord , and prostituted to " the indiscriminate support of right or of wrongyou knew , or you ought to have known , that such a " stomach pump" would very sptedilj empty the belly of those to whom it was applied , and that when that source was dried up the state engineers would next apply it to your order . You knew that your polhical influence could haTe reduced the hundred millions sterling per annum to fire millions sterling , and yei ensure a better discharge

      of all the functions of Chnrch and State ; and you knew that , of the ninety-fife millions ^ aved , job , as Agents between the producers and consumers , would haTe your just and righteous share . You knew thart the people acknowledge your agency as necessary to their comfort , and oniy object to job . because of yonr support of their oppressors , not to your utility &s a class , when- your duties are properly performed . You knew that the successful speculators in machinery , the bankers who supplied them with artificial money , and the merchants who speculated

      upon the produce , had duped yon into a belief that they constituted part aiid parcel of your order > whereas jour interests and theirs were opposite as the poles ; and ye : you jaiaed these some few scores of speculating politicians in the va : n , the foolish , and delusive cry of " cheap bread , " " cheap bread , ' " cheap bread" ! you joined them in their disingenuous clamour , instead of joining the people in their demand for their righteous share of the profits , and cut of which you would haTe had your just share of gain .

      Gentlemen , let me suppose a case , and not an extreme one . Suppose a manufacturer employing one thousand hands , each one of which would be fully entitled to one pound per week , and more , and suppose the employer in consquence of his command of the labour market , and with the surplus population of machinery-made-idlers to fall back upon as his reserve to cheapen labour , - I say , suppose that employer to reduce his hands to ten shillings per week ; did you eTer rtflec : that such reduction was twenty-sis thousand per annum out of the pockets of the neighbouring shopkeepers , wMle the saving all

      went into the pockets of the banker , the merchant , the large pawnbroker , and the speculator . It may not leaTe a profit of twenty-six thousand per annum to any one , because the inducement to gamble on low wages , would of itself superinduce an overplus and consequently a reduction in the Talue of produce , while the full wages paid to the one thousand hands , would haTe enabled them to make their own produce more valuable by being part consumers . And now are you so foolish as not to have discerned

      that profits made by merchants , bankers , pawnbrokers and manufactures , and profits made by labourers , go into Tery different channels I The profits of the former are Tested in the funds , or in the purchase of tends , houses , railroad shares , or other heaTy speculations , while the profits of the latter flow through your tUl 3 , and constitute the Tery heart ' s blood which replenishes your veins . Yet haTe you joined the few in their wild speculations , while yon haTe persecuted the many in pursuit of their own and your salvation .

      But what 13 the phantom of which you professed ; fe » r while you had yet something to protect Vu physical tobck . " Alas ! Gentlemen , the shidow has vanished icith your substance , and I rejoice to j think that in your wisdom yon hare discovered that : the prodncers of wealth are not likely to become the destroyers of their « wn produce . But you haTe . learned a better lesson than even that . Yon haTe ; learned that a people who have patiently borne perseeution , starvation , and insult with an astonishing ; forbearance , may be trusted with some authority

      OTer life , liberty , and property , when more regard j is paid to their own . Reason must have conTinced j you that if neither life , liberty , or property haTe i suffered damage from a people whose violence would i be justified by the first and dearest law of nature , j that life , liberty , and property stand in no danger j from the same people , when an interest in the preser- j Tation of all was conferred upon them . * j Gentlemen , yon mast do me the justice to admit i that in my several addresses to the electors and non

      electors of Yorkshire , in 1838 , and in several letters i of a prior date , I pointed out to you the certainty of that state of things coming upon you which h& 3 at length overtaken you . You must j allow that 1 distinctly Ehewed how every j aristocratic excess , which then pressed upon the i industrious order , would , when that order was drained , then pres 3 equally hard npon you . You \ must admit that you joined in the cry for tie Poor j Law Bill , and gave to its most unchristian clauses ;

      your very best support , while you went even farther , and furnished the Government with all the required and expensive machinery of a rural-police force to insure iss operation . You then thought tbas the odium and the tax would fall upon the insulted people , while you now discover , that from the remnant of youT savings , you must furnish the means ol upholding boih . How now do you like-the Malthu-Eian plan of throwing the people and the police upon toubbk 5 ouec . es ? Surely you canno : complain , as yc u were lusty in ycur approval of throwing the people upon their curn resources . You now find yourselves , like a vessel without a rudder , buffetted

      between the waves of faction . The billows of taxeatme Toryism are striking upon the one side , while the receding waves of Whrggery leave a chasm upon the other , and afford yon i , o support against the ragicg torrent . Yes . the Whigs oied yon , deceived yon , and deserted yon . You Etocd by them until their multiplied delinquencies actualiy gaje to the affrig ; ted public a favourable impression of the hideous visage of Toryism . For years you £ D--iiiBed them upon no tetter principle than "keep the Tories cut , " and now that the Tories are in yon find the Whigs either become converts to the enemies' principles or laying down in apathy , while ¦ vonr dearest interests are bc-i-g undermined .

      Gentlemen , haTe you ever atiempted to solve the riddle of the present Whig apathy ? If not , allow me to do it for you . The Whigs vrho constituted the late government , and their supporters , desire no greaier change than that which will once more transfer the fruits of ofice and taxation to their party ' s bands , while the Wliigs of no parly or principle are engaged in a squabble as to who shall be leader of a party cot in existence . You find that all the old planks of shipwrecked Whiggery are still Soaling in the Tery latitude in which the rotten lulk - was wrecked . The old ministers , the Morning Chronicle , the eclipsed Sun , the Leeds

      Mercury t the Manchester Guardian , the Weekly Chronicle , and ail the Whig Bewsmen are still clinging to the fragments of Whiggery , and - are foolish enough to imagine that on the ruins of Toryism they may once more float their Bhattejed bark . But they bnild witbont their host . Wbiggery , that is , practical Whiggery , is dead and buried , never more to rise ; and now the question for your consideration and ours is whether or not we are to be affrighted at the giant strength which Toryism has acquiredby Whig delinquency while in office , and Whig cowardice while in opposition ? I say not . I say to the indnstrioDS of all orders , " onward with one resolve , to OTeroome aristocratic lust and establish

      Untitled Article

      the rights of industry on its ruins . " There is no danger in the trial if made with one accord , and a resolve to conquer ; while there is every danger to the state by allowing Toryism to assume that strength which , in its hands , is sure to degenerate into despotism . Gentlemen , you and your order haTe tried , throu « h your leaderS jJPi sorts of schemes to lure the people , and they haTe all failed , and it is fortunate for you that they haYe , for belieTe me that you yourselves must be sacrificed to overpowering taxation to support an idle aristocracy , their church , and their unjust and unchristian wars by any change . 'h rt of that which the combined intellect of the industrious classes haTe set their hearts and miuds upon , The People ' s Charter .

      "Gentlemen , I wotfld implore you to strip this lovely image of the hideous garb in which pr . jadice and ignorance haTe dressed it . Strip it naked , than view it in all its loTeliness . " Nature ' s dress is loTeliness , The dress you wear , " my lovely Charter . Be not guided in your discernment by adver / ising journals and interested " political pedlars " Examine the thing for yourselves , and having done so then say in what it would abridge your rights or make those possessed by others hostile to you . All means have been used to divide and destroy

      us , but all , all , have , thank God , failed , and all will fail ! Our union would be dishonourable to you and hopeless to ns were we to weaken ourselves by the abandonment of our principles ; therefore hope not for snch a change ; while if you admire our principles and acknowledge their justice , why make yourselves contemptible in the eye ? of your enemies and suspicious in ours by asking us to abandon our honoured name , hallowed by persecution , and rendered dear by oppression and opposition ?

      Gentlemen , see the noble example set by the Chartists of Nottingham , and , with the tingle exception of the Globe , maik tow tbe corrupt Whig press has preserved a dignified silence upon the sabject , thus convincing you at once , that tbe principle , and not tbe name of Charusm , is the thin *; dreaded ; and that the invitation to change our name is bat an artfnl deTice to get possession of our moTement , in order to reduce public opinion down to Whig temperature . Oh , if the contest for Nottingham lay benreen a pure Whig and a pure Tory , what leaders , what articles , wha-. letters from ourself to ourself , what encomiums on tbe Cbart . sts what reverence for their discretion , what prayers for their success !

      Now , then , I ask you , what you have to expect between the two parties ! The Chartists upon the one hand , whose principles you profess and approve , but whose name you cannot acknowledge ; and the leaders of Whiggery on the other hand , who object notr to the name , but are opposed to the very principle -which it denotes . Again , from the triumph of Wbiggery you can expect but desolation , while in the triumph ot Chartism you must be participators . Can you , then , longer hesitate ? The right hand of fellowship is tendered to you ; accept it in time , I pray you . You but weaken yourselves by delay ; for do it yuu must , or die or emigrate , in the long run . Taxation and class legislation have swept away your foundation , and you cannot long stand .

      " Lay not the flattering unction to yon souIb " that we will change our principles or ouh jjame ; for , as one , I tell you that both for your 6 ake and the people ' s sake , I would rather beg my bread for the remainder of my life , than be a party either to the one or the other . Gentlemen , I shall write you six letters npon this subject , and when they are concluded , I pledge myself that all who read and judge without prejudice will confess himself in name and principle . Gentlemen , I have the honour To remain your obedient servant , Feabgus O'Co . nxor .

      TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . My deab Fbiexds , —It will be in the recollection of those persons who attended the meetings at which I spoke , now nearly seven years ago , when establishing Radical Associations , that of all thing * - to which we should look a 3 a means of insuring virtuous pnblic men , public censorship , in my opinion , stood first ; and I have told you , over and over again ^ that to the want of that public censorship might be ascribed all the woes of all nations , but especially those of Ireland of » lat » r date . I haTe insisted that had Mr . O Connell ' s first acts of public

      delinquency been remonstrated against , his talent and cunning wonld haTe been directed into the saving , instead of , as now , the destroying channel . I haTe told you that passing by nnnoticed any , even the most trivial , error , committed by a public man , was an inducement to that ptram to wei # h his individual opinion against public opinion , until , by degrees , he ultimately succeeded in laying tbe latter in trammels . I hare been very , very severe upon " this head in each and all of my discourses , protesting on behalf of public censorship for the people's sake , and relying upon public discretion

      to distinguish bttween wilful transgression and error of judgment , as the safeguard of public character . Nay , I have gone so far as to say , that I a . s an individual , never vrouUi p ' ace confidence again in any man who had once dceuivod the public . Now these points in my several discourr-es all must remember , because I have spoken impressively upon them . There is no difficulty in the way of a public man who steers an honest and straightforward course . His way is as tbe race-ground , roped in on both sides by denned principles ; the wiimkig-post i 3 his goal , and the prize , for which he contends , is that object which public opinion has resolved upon

      achieving . If a horse bolts in his race , no man will again bet upon him ; but should he be overweighted , and thereby overcome , his present defeat entails no damage upon his character . So with a public man ; should he be overmatched in his struggles lor the attainment of the general object , public opinion will rally round him and give him an increased power for his next encounter ; but should his ckfeat be in . anywise a consequence of hi 3 dishonest running , public opinion will not b 3 ck Lim in his future trials . The Romans esteemed the Public Censor as the most important officer in the state , and they

      were right . And now , my friends , let me give you my idea of what a pubiicman should be , and what the duties of a public censor properly ar ? , iu the words of Plutarch , in his description of the Legion which Cato the younger , was appointed to command , that he had made them " dreadful to their enemies , and courteous to their allies ; AFKA 1 D to do a DISHOXOCBABLE THLVG , A . AMBITIOUS OP HONEST PBAJS&" A public man , then , should be " afraid to do a dishonourable thing , and ambitious of honesi praise . " In starting in pnblic life , he should weigh

      well his reasons for attaching himself to the party for whose principles he professes a preference , and h&Ying once made his electiorj , he should consider himself as a member of the body , which could not be otherwise severed from it than as a diseased limb is removed to preserve the patient ' s life . Or should his cessation be a Toluntary act , in consequence oi virtuous misgiving , arising from a conscientious doubt as to his party ' s integrity , he should in such case retire altogether from public life rather than form a coalition with any other political parly . His

      Untitled Article

      retirement would prove his fear of doing a dishonourable act , while his coalition with former enemies would prove that his ambition was not for honest praise , but for notoriety . He should be bo strong in virtU 9 , that , although not above suspicion , the consciousness of integrity should fiad a corrective for tr e virulence of reproach in the mildness of his defence . Anger , vituperation , and insolence rather stamp accusation with truth than force a belief of innocence . He should go all lengths with his party , so long as be remains one among them- He Bhould be proof against taunt aud scorn , and prefer an honest poverty to riches gathered from the sale of

      conscience . Sach , in my opinion , should bo the leading features i'i a public man , while the duty of a public censor is to guard with an anxious and a watchful eyi over the conduct of public character ; so that those whose confidence has elevated him to the post , shall not , while sleeping or unobservant , ba lulled into false security , or be surprised when unprepared for an assault . If ho sees more than others can at first dibtinuuisb as likely to occur from the first

      false stop , it is his duty to present the act to all in precisely the light in which he himself sees it ; h « is the pubHc eye—he must not diminish or magnify the object to suit the probable taste of ( he publio ; it is his daty to say , if such be . his belief , I see a promised monster in that whioh is h-jW presented to you in an infant and harmless shape , if you mature it , it will destroy you , aud then blame yourselTes ; if you Eee as I do , sHJle it and you are saved . And inasmuch as the wiles aud machinations of a bad man can

      work much evil to the public cause , if unrestrained ; while che temporary direction of public opinion to a suspicious act of the best man , can effect no material or any permanent damage either to himself or to his party , in my opinion , that cunsor who is over hasvy to question , is a better servant than he who is over cautions in proclaiming what he conscientiously believes to be wroug . My friends , having said so much about public men and public censors , let me consider for a moment , whecfier , or not the virtuous indignation so recently expressed by a few aguiust what they are pleased to term" denunciation " , was as sensitive up jii all former occasions ? or whether the present honour is not rather an ebullition of anger , from detection , than a feeling of vivtuous disapproval \

      Firstly , allow me to assure my readers , that whenever an attack is made upon the Northern Star , however plausibly or artfully it is sought to be confined to r . hat journal , Feargus O ' Connor is also aimed at . This no man in his senses can for one moment dispute or deny ; and now for a moment ' s ietro . ~ pect upon the subj » ot of denunciation . When Brewster and Frazer , iu Edinburgh , O'Connell , in Dublin , the Political Union in

      Birmingham , and Lovett and the Working Men ' s Association , in London , all proclaimed , at one and che same moment , the necessity for denouncing and getting rid of me , —not one soul but my old and only friends , the poorest of the poor , flew to tny defence or protection . Then there was no virtuous indignation about denunciations ; then the mania was , " PUBLIC MEN ARE PUBLIC PROPERTY " , AND THE LIBERTY OF SPEECH AM ) OF TBE PRESS " .

      When , subsequently , the Champion , the London Dispatch , "Can Churter , ihe Southern Star , theNorthern Liberator , and the Birminghum Journal , and , mere recently , the Dundee Chronicle , the Perth Chronicle , the Scottish Patriot , the National Liberator , the British Statesman , and the Western Vindicator . made me the weekly subject , not only of denunciation , but of the vilest slander and abuse : then virtue was silent , and poor Bairstow was absolutely denounced for daring to say of me , " Who works like him V

      When Dr . Fletcher attacked me for a speech made by Dr . Taylor , and given to me by the blundering Sun , it was subject of merriment until my opponent was vanquished , and then the cry of " shame ! why denounce a good man ! " was raised , —not against che denouncer , but against the denounced . When Mr . Hetherington attacked me most brutally , when he thought that Whig barbarity had placed manacles upon my hands , and after having

      declared to the five stonemasons who waited upon him in the Queen ' s Bench , " that Fecrgus O'Connor and the Northern Star should be put down ; " when he so attacked me , he \ demanded the insertion of all his letters in the Northern Star as a matter of right , thus making my own paper the organ of his denunciation of me ; this was considered "fair " , while he published his letters also in his own paper , but refused to publish any of my answers . This met no " denunciation" from any one .

      When Hume declared to his Montrose friends , that Vincent , Collins , Hetheringtou , Lovett , and many other good men , were doirjg all they could to destroy O'Connor and the Star , not a word of " denunciation" then . When the Sturgites had appointed Daniel O'Connell one of their council , not a word of " denunciation" then . When Harrison bad the courage to bring the hypocrites and traducers face to face , no " denunciation" then ; but , on the contrary , a virtuous cry of " shame to repeat the substance of what patssd at a meeting of another body !"

      In fact , my frieBde , for seven long years I have been the object of untiring , continuous , and insolent abuse , and my general answer has been , here I am with my parly , and resolved to stand by my party to the death , atid poi'tt out the iinyle blot who can . Now , my friends , it i ? necessary that public opinion should be set right upon the question ot ueutinciaiion . And here I am , after my busy life , aud I can come before any portion of the public and say , where is the man whom I have ever publicly denounced by speech or publication ! and , above all .

      where is the sentence , word , or syllable written by me casting reproach upon a tingle individual connected with our cause ? or where is the man whom in private conversation I have done other than praise till I have been actually , aughed at ? whist I declare to God tha :, in neariy every town throughout England and Scotland , 1 have been denounced , both by letter and in conversation , iu the most heartless , shameless , and unbounded manner , and yet have I never resented it , privately or publicly , neither shall I .

      I must now say one word of the Editor of the Northern Star ; and perhaps my charge against him will be considered more grave and serious than any which has yet been preferred . The first intimation that 1 had of Mr . PiJip—one of our executive—having done an act ( I care not howsoever mdiivct ) at variance with what I considered tobetheduty of one of the people's servants was conmmunicated to me through the Star , while I was at Brighton . I instantly sat down , and wrote a letter for insertion in the Star , much , very much , stronger than anything that I have seen , and the " rascally" Editor actually suppressed my letter , informing me , as a reason , that it was much better to leave all suoh . matters to the people themselves . I wish that letter had

      been published ; because in it I pointed out the exact uifference between the act as committed by Vincent , and the act as committed by Philp as one of five , wl : o , from his appointment , 1 contended , as I ever shall contend , damned himself to all eternity by presuming to use the power which we had given him to augment that of an opposing party . I don ' t care one straw what all the old women in the country may say ; I condemn it . And if it was right to do it , why not confer wish the whole Executive ! I shall say no more upon that subject . I » hall not even express any opinion as to those who would kow defend Mr . Philp . No , if the act is justifiable , I can stand by it , and it requires not the authority of others to render my ground tenable

      Untitled Article

      I shall only now direct attention to what I find in the Star of . ' last week , relative to the charge brought against rue , and which appeared in the ' . re < - port of the Leicester proceedings . By an extract from a pamphlet recently published , it appears that Mr . O'Brien charges me with being a party to misrepresent him , in the following terms : ^ - '' That the whole is a base concoction of O'CoBnor , yourself , and others , to discredit me with the Chartist public . " Now , to this I shall be expected to reply , and what denunciation can be stronger ?—and my answer is , I do hereby most solemnly swear and declare , that

      I neTer , by word of mouth , by message , by le : ter , or by insinuation , directly or indirectly , made a remark or offered a suggestion , or said one word to Mr . Hill , or any other pei-son , upon the subject ; and , further , that in the whole course of my lify , I never have attempted to influence the Editor of the Star as to bis course . Now , is not that the way , the fair way , for a public man , who 13 " afraid 16 do a dishonourable thing , and who is ambitious of honest praise , " to meet denunciation of the grossest kind ? Denunciation which actually charges him with conspiring ; against a friend to rob him of his reputatioov

      Now , in concluding these my remarks upon the subject of denunciation , just let me ask the simple question . Was ever journal so aUacktd . ajid yet so mild in its defence ? Was ever cenauke more mild , if censure it can be called , than that of which Mr . O'Brien and Mr . Philp complain ? And , good God is the mouth to be for ever closed ? or is the cry of " denunciation" to be set up whenjonly mild criticism is resorted to 1 If men canaot bear this , much better that they should well weigh , every act , before they take any step which will be likely to subject , them to it .

      Let me ask a question . Suppose I had taken the step which Philp did , although not a motnber of t ' ao Executive ,: who , in such case , would hava been my reprovers 1 Why , the very men who cauuot now bear the slightest touch of the flesh-brush . When I find it impossible ¦ .-jast now to attend crowded meetings , I bestow all my leisure ihoments to the improvement of roy party . I write gratui , tously for Coopor ' a Commonwealthsman and for Cleave's Char Hit Circular . 1 will go with you the whole length for the attainment of our common object , but I never will , while upon the watchtower , fail to cry out " mad dog , mad dog , " when I see the animal approaching you .

      The Editor was denounced for attacking the foreign policy men , the Corn Law Repealers , the Fox and Goose Club , the Sturgeite- ! , and all the hypocrites ; but , in spite of all , be has , with your assistance , succeeded in annihilating all the weeds which would choke tho tree of Chartism ; and ho shall ever have my thanks and assistance in his good work . The Tories are too strong to use spies or hirelings to destroy us ; and now , believe me , my

      friends , that Whiggery , putrid Whiggevy , is once more trying to resuscitate itself by means o the advocacy of principles nearly allied to Chartism ; and they will spare no means of hiring Chartist outcasts to work under the garb of Whigu ^ ry . The set of idle rascals ! I'll pummel them wherever and whenever I meet them . For seven long years wo have been pestered with this generation of vipers . I am , my friends , Your devoted Servant , Fkarg-js O'Connor . Wednesday , June 15 th , 1841 .
