JiXES WRITTEN EXPRESSLY F # R XHE " NORTHERN STAR . " BT CHABTIUS . THE EMIGRANTS , so . iil " Trade ' s unfeeling train TJevip the land and dispossess the swain . " Goldsmith , Ko evil is more to be deplered , ' whether -we regard gss individual sufferers or the nation generally , than gxigntion . Alas , that thin eril should erer have estaj ^ jjljed itself in England 1 bat -woe to Englishmen , -who jmtead of ebeding , promote its progress . Emigration is supposed to be the mere efflux of & surplus population and under this erroneous idea it Is considered
jjgrjefioaL But too does not know that our country nig ht be made to yield bread enough for ourselves and to spare for others . Why then should the culti-¦ nlbon of the soil be driTen like vagrants to seek food in a foreign land ? Are there not numerous extensive tract * purposely kept barren , because the sport of the rich i * preferred to the'living of the poor ? And do soi the fowls of the air , the beasts of the field , and the fishes of the sea multiply in exhaostless profusion around ? Besides , has not Great Britain power to compel the produce of other countries to its shores , to that the wide ¦ world may be said to be our harvest field f Say not , then , that England contains too many EagltfhKien .
If there be bo natural necessity that any of the inhabitants of our Isle of Providence should exile themselves , is it not a species of infatuated policy that creates jn artificial necessity by ¦ which the most useful 6 f our people are expelled ? The industrious fanner who raises food lot others cannot obtain it for himself . Instead of encouraging his truly bentfidal efforts , a parricidal Government imposes burthens which oblige him to throw down bis implements in despair , and he is forced to quit his ungrateful country in the nncertain hope of rrrocurin ? that maintenance abroad which is denied
bim at home . The patriot departs with feelings inserted , for he carries within him the indignant con-Bdousiiess that his failure is not occasioned by bis own Trant of industry , er the want of resenrces in the eonatry , whether internal or external ; but from the ijjinstice , mouopoly and oppression of its rulers . Para doxical a * it m&y appear , it is nevertheless trae that oar national distress does not proceedfrom poverty , but from wealth—from the misappropriation of the rights of labouring men by a usurping aristocracy and tyrannical capitalists- Luxury disdains homely produce and ¦ sets its supplies from extraneous dimes .
Another causa of the depression which tfiV . ets the agriculturists is the greedy sway of the avaricious manufacturers ; aboriginal agriculture is sacriuoed to indigenous trade . To appease the selfish clamours of free traders , farmers are doomed to toil in Tain ; yet though reduced te extremity by nnmerited oppression they nerer think of turning their sickles into swords , but quietly leave the land where neither landlord nor mUl-lord allows them to live , and strive by patient labour in a far foreign clime , to remove the privations they had become subject to in their own conntry . May their unrequited services in this world be recompensed in a better !
England , once the merry mother of a happy family , has now become a step-dame to her lawful brood . The hardy sons of her soil who would identify their lives with ffteir native land , whose feelings are as unsophisticated as the free elements that invigorate their freshened dales ; whose patriarchal pursuits nourish in them the kindliest nature ; these true-born English yeomen are to be neglected that a spurious race , sprung from foreign settlers may be favoured—beings , who , spider-like , weald spin their own bowels for profit ; whose principles fluctuate with their profits , whose allegiance shifts with thtir trade , and who would make England % trades-body dependent upon the custom of other nations , losing which she would become a bankrupt The cuckoo from abroad has got into our nest , and not content with her harbourage there , she casts out the genuine brood upon the pricks .
It were an easy task to compare the moral as well as political character of the agriculturist and the manufacturer , but as character depends in a great measure npon occupation , I will avoid a comparison that ¦ might be deemed invidious , and in its stead contrast the past and present appearance of rural life . Milton says or nngs : " Sometimes with secure delight The upland hamlets will invite , "When the merry bells ring round , And the jocund rebecks sound ; To ieany a youth and many a maid , Dancing in the chequer'd shade , And young and old come forth to play , Upon a Eunshins holiday . "
Who can read this without mentally joining in the dance ? And do such scenes now exist in poetical description only ? Alas , the happiness that in those days was no fiction , is now sneceeded by as real misery . Two centuries of Whiggism sad Toryism—of factions and class legislation , have sufficed to throw down the maypoles , —to expatriate the merry-makers , to send young and old to the bastile—and now , instead of the youths and maids with their jecund rebecks , mating a circle ot delight round tbe greenwood tree , we see the indigo-dyed police whose demon scowl has seared away all pleasure and all innocence .
The callous townsman may be regardles of the countryman ' s distress ; but ought not the general ruin of his country to make him look beyond his own particular interests ? Emigrants are but escaping from the eTil day that hangs over England . Trade may bring capital into the country , bnt money is only- artificial wealth . Should our intercourse with foreign nations be cut off , whfcre will the manufacturer find a customer , and how will he obtain bread when the farmer has gone and left the land , the true mine of wealth , impoverished ? Eagland has frequently been successful in her wars , but then she fought against foreigners . Her best defenders are becoming the adopted sons of America—of that America which broke from British thraldom , and is now free to revenge herself . Past events should be a lesson and a warning . Oh , then , let us csase to consider emigration as a common sewer that drains our land of its refuse population . They are the best and most useful of our people that thus depart , leaving the idle and profligate behind .
The following tale founded oh facts may illustrate Borne of the foregoing remarks . In Dasby Dile , Yorkshire , there is a small but rural and romantic farm situated at the foot of a precipitous crag . It is worth while climbing that crag to view the varied scene beneath . Sametimes , at break -of day , misty vapours roll off the top of the moor down into the dak and fill it completely . Any one might easily imagine that the ocean had overflowed the land , and that he stoo'd upon a cliff to mark its progress . As the morning advances this seeming sea gradually evaporates , and all the characteristic features of the valley are one by one revealed in the clear suslight The fertile lands , intersected in every direction with hedges end dotted with trees , pretent a perfect contrast to the sombre and uniform moors above . A brook , edged with trees that
Etcop as if to drini its waters , runs playfuliy in and out of view through tke middle of this narrow vale , and may be called the living tenant of this landscape . In the bock ground , the distant mountains assimilate with the clouds ; in the foreground they rise bold and distinct like threatening giants whoBe crashing weight , and not the unwieldy skill , imposes terror . The crag itself is interspersed with large moss-grown stones , Titanian fragments , that have fallen from the rocky cllfL . above , whose beetling brows scowl destruction on all bsneath . Covered , with wild herbage . among which grow irregular clumps of dvrarf bushes and trees , this spot has more the appearance of a covert
loi birds and t-easts of prey , than a . range far domestic cattle . Immediately below stands the cottage , looking npon the cultivated lands that spread down to the brook ' s brink . Nor is the eye alone gratified in this interestirg scene . In spring , a concert led by the loud thrush on the top of the loftiest tree , and fiiled with every variety of sound from the shrill treble of the piping Wren to the deep bass of the mellow dove , makes the crag ring with notes of joy . The lover of natffre in her wildest or softest aspects may sit and view a scene that via map itself upon bis mind , or listen to woodland mirstrsisy that *>>» " ?«« even Mainzsr ' s singiiig millions .
Leaving th ' j charmfcig prospect , let us bend our steps to the cottage , which is as picturesque as the scene around . A stranger would not distinguish it from the outbHJlalrgs where cattle are lodged . The thatched loof is long and low , and overgrown with-dark mos 3 , ibove whteh thehouseleek peers—the windows are very narrow and look more like peep-holes than inlets of light . It is okvious that this hut has been built without any pieconceitfid plan—so far from consulting elegance , convenience has scarcely been attended to . The outhouses form an irregular group of dilapidated b-aildings—a little garden lBys oddly between , and on the outskirts of this primitive homestead , is an orchard Whose trees are so old as to be nearly barren . The poultry on the dunghill and in the pool render the Place liTely with confused motions and discordant ¦ Dnndt
BAchard Robinson was the tenant cf this sequestered farm . His father had lived is the stirring times of war when the nation weakened its internal strength in the vain pursuit of foreign power . IU-directe i ambition is sure to receil—reaction is a natural consequence of overweening exertion . The money which Richard's father ssved before the time * suffered their present relapse , he bequeathed with bis examp le and certain prudent naxbns to his son who succeeded to a long- beredjfcary tenancy that m doomed to terminate in him . According to the custom of the country , tbe funeral of his aged parent was celebrated with » feast as though the mvivors were resolved by the most natural means
to avdrt the fate of the deceased from themselves . "When the mourning relatives had Tented tbe free expressions of their grief , their sense of the worth of the departed , and had complied with the forms of ceremony , Richard entered on the management of the farm determined te merit thongh he might not obtain' the success that had rewarded bis father ' s efforts . Onr fanners family at this time consisted of himself and his good wif « -with their son and daughter—the f ° *?« a stout lad that Kited his father instead of a hired Bervant—the latter a comely maiden that assisted her mother in the same capacity . Their eld grandmother sat the livelong Say in tke warm chimney nook , me-

chanically lmitfctng or spinning , while the scenes of net past life shifted before her mind ' s eye , like a revolving diorama . By dint of industry and economy this family of farmers kept their ground though the times were fast retrogading , and if not happy they were at least eontent . The routine of each day ' s labour was planned the evening before—its regular discharge left them to enjoy without interruption their hoars of rest , which were always cheered with recreation . Tasks were undertaken for pastime—pleasure and profit seemed to be bound ap
with every sheaf of corn . The father took frequent occasion from his w « rk to make ingenious exemplifications of moral virtue—the son rang heroic strains to animate a spirit already too prone to enterprize—the mother enforced her advice by delivering it in the accent of gentle reproof—the daughter sung tender ditties which increased her rather too morbid sensibility—but the old dawn ' s voice was seldom heard except when raised against some innovation of fashion or when poured in expressions of maudlin pity npon some object of love or distress . Thus o id the members of this connected family evince their relative stations in it
In the long winter evenings a circle of neighbours would oftentimes gather round the large turf flra that lay heaped op on tbe open hearth . There , while the wind shook the old dwelling , as if angry at hein& barred out—while the hail clattered against the windows , and the scream of the owl arose like the cry of one benighted in the storm , the heedless and happy inmates entertained each other with the sayings and doings of their forefathers . The adventures ot a talker , whose tongue performs feats which the arm had sever done —who tells what might have happened , if what did happen be not worth the telling ; in a word , whose imagination supplies all the deficiencies of reality , this important personage , as needful to enliven as the fire to warm the company , was so more wanting here * h » n in more refined societies . The bustling wife would use the privilege of her sex to speak freely the pertinent joke ; the daughter listened in silence , as she bent over her sewing j none laughed so heartily as the son ; but mirth had lost its power on his aged grandmother , who dosed the while in her soft arm chair .
Could Ambiden have stooped to enter this lowly abode , there might he have found health and content lovingly comforting each other . On a summer ' s Sabbath the quiet rays of the sun rested calmly npon tbe simple furniture , an image of that peace which the world cannot give . The oaken panels , polished by the rubbing of successive generations , shone black as jet ; the articles of use were burnished , and served likewise for ornaments ; the old clock constantly clacked in a corner , like a gossip whom age has made garrulous ; the pictured emblems of Faith , Hope , and Charity indicated that those virtues had ehosen this obscure cottage for their retreat from a hostile world . Here Piety might have found a refuge , and dwelt a rural hermit here .
Sometimes the bid state of the markets would lead to a discussion of the hardness of the times . Upon this topic Richard was listened to with much deference ; for besides that his success gave much weight to his opinions , his experience and natural good sense had procured for him the honourable post of parish arbitrator . Likehisprototype , " Poor Richard , " our Richard used to speak apothegms . He would say— " Tbe times are bad , but folks are worse . Their fathers were earners , but the sons are spenders . A shilling would procure a good dinner , and if we do not need it ourselves there are many that do , and eo nay we at some future time : we should think of this before we waste a shilling . You
may always spend faster than you can earn . Luxuries are far dearer than necessaries , and indeed are dear at any price . What is sold is low-priced ; what is bought is high . No wonder that extravagant sons sink faster back than their carefol fathers went forward . They walk slowly to work , but gallop to 6 port . I believe those farms are few that will not keep a comfortable house , and this is all that can be expected nowa-days . To be sure , misfortunes will foil the best management" Thus spake Richard , whose prospsrity exemplified the value of bis precepts ; but little did he foresee that adversity would prove their inefficacy when cases axe altered by circumstances .
Incited by the love of adventure common to highspirited youth Richard ' s son went one evening without his father ' s knowledge and shot a hare . Directed by the report of tbe gun , the gamekeeper intercepted the young poacher ' s retreat and demanded his booty . The boy with much reluctance complied , hoping thus to appease the insatiate man of authority , but in vain . The gun was next demanded—this had been borrowed and therefore tbe lad was determined to run all risks , rather than give it up . A struggle ensued—the keeper was thrown and the victor ran off with the weapon of contention . This simple quarrel was greatly exaggerated —the lad was summoned , convicted , and sent to prison . Thongh much vexed at his son , Richard could not but feel more resentment against his persecutor . After vainly endeavouring to compound matters , his wife and he repaired to the assize town to do what could be done for their boy .
The eyes of justice have been bandaged by law—right is weighed in her left hand—the sword is wielded instead of the balance . Richard attended at bis son's trial and heard the sentence of banishment pronounced against him—his own peace of mind was banished at the sound . The lad , with whose existence the best part ef his own had been identified , who had been the object of so mncb care and pains , who had new become capable and was willing to requite his parents—such a son to be ignominlously torn from them and sent in such a manner to such a doom ! Richard with his wife retired irsto a comer of the court and wept bitterlythey could not comfort each other , and the lawyers , thinking probably that they were beyond consolation , never attempted to console them .
When this sorrowful couple returned home they found their only remaining child in tears—the sight made their own flow anew for they naturally deemed that her brother ' s bereavement bad occasioned her grief , but it sprung from a deeper source . A youth , who had volunteered his services during Richard's temporary absence , had improved the opportunity thus unsuspectingly afforded him to accomplish the ruin of his daughter , regardless of the affliction that had already befallen thia ill-fated family . Poverty did not restrain him from committing a crime , the consequences of which it disabled him from remedying , and donble
villain was he who could thus knowingly take advantage of tbe simple confidence reposed in him by an artless maiden to betray her to shame and want . When informed of the situation of his daughter . Richard heaved one sigh , looked np and then went his way without saying a word . His son had been takes from him not by the decree of heaven , but of unjust man , and sent to a barbarous land—his daughter , instead of being a comfort to him when he most needed it , had become a disgraceful burthen that added to the weight of his griefs , and bowed his spirits lower than the worst times could have sunk it . His fireside no more attracted his neighbours . All these things were against him . C To be coTiduded in our neat . )

TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Brother Chartists—In my last I stated shortly the present state of the six districts in Scotland , and it will now be proper to point out the duties which an Executive will have to perform . Recent events have shewn us that the pnblic mind among the working classes is running in three different chnmraiH—a small portion are looking to the movement for Complete Suffrage—amoog the middle class they may be considered the timid and the aristocratic . There is a considerable portion who are still labouring under the exploded ides , that Trades Unions and 8 trikes are a remedy for the evils of class legislation . The patriotism and intelligence of the working population , have unequivocally declared for Chartist suffrage , as the only and sufficient security foi moderate labour , permanent employment , cheap government , and the establishment of national and individual liberty .
It is the duty , and will be found-to be the only sound policy for the Chartist , to pay no attention to either at these movements . Complete Suffrage , if honestly takes up and persevered in , is Chartism . Trades Unions and a Strike for \ rages is an ism that has lost its cihnmn . In this its last effort , the Chartists , in no senBe , ought So identify themselves with it , as such identification would be tantamount to an impeachment of the Charter being a remedy . It wonld be highly desirable at the present time that the Scottish Executive be formed and hold a meeting ss early as possible ; and the place I presume ought to be Edinburgh , as . tte most centra ^

being the easiest of access from all the six centres . There are questions of vital importance awaiting their determination . 1 . How eught the Chartists to treat the Complete Suffrage movement in Scotland . 2 . How far is it proper for tbe Chartists to interfere in Strikes , and in declarations for a particular rate of wages , as Chartists . 3 . Another subject of vital Importance demanding their consideration is , to ascertain the number of those who held Chartist principles in proportion to the adult population of the place each member represents . i . Another matter of great importance to the success of our movement is a declaration from this executive against all violence and unlawful proceedings . 5 . To take into consideration the despotic doetrine laid down by the Home Secretary , that a constable was to judge of what constituted a legal meeting . If so we may consider the Habeas Corpus act suspended in this country .
6 . That tbe names and addresses of all those at present lecturing npon the Charter be collected and officially reported throngh the Star , as there is great danger likely to result from inattention to this matter . It cannot be disputed but that these are subjects of great importance . An error committed npon any one of these , injures or retards the progreES of the cause ; entire and complete uniformity of action is desirable . A declaration throngh a properly elected executive is the only means whereby it can be secured . It was the duty of the nominal General Secretary for Scotland , who was appointed on the 3 rd January last , to have corresponded with the six centres , and have
ascertained their views npon these important subjects , as it is reported that he is now installed secretary to the Complete Suffrage Association of Glasgow : thus the means to convene these six centres is removed , it now belongs to themselves to appoint a time and elect representatives to settle the subjects mentioned , with others that might be added to it . The We&t Midland District has elected their delegate some time since , tbeir election having fallen npon Mr . A . Duncan . I trust then that they will proceed to their election , so as that the Chartists in Scotland may act with the spirit of unanimity and brotherly confidence , as men who are engaged in a great and good cause , ready to sacrifice every selfish consideration for the general good .
I am , respected friends . Yours , truly , David Thompson . P . S . As I have received communications already wishing me to lay before this district the propriety of getting np a delegate meeting , I am quite agreeable to serve those districts intending to elect representatives . If they think of sending their communications to me I will lay them before the Association of Alloa , and this District , and moke arrangements with the friends in Edinburgh for their meeting . , D . T . Alloa , 29 ih August , 1842 .

TO MR . PATRICK RAFTER , OF THE IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION . LETTEE I , Aye , roar in his train let them orators lash Their fanciful spirits to pamper his pride Not thus did thy Grattan indignantly lash His soul o ' er the freedom implored and denied . Byron . My dear Rafter , —The reign of Toryism has commenced here in true earnest , and the base Whigs have succeeded in laying the foundation stone of another bloody and brutal structure ! They are loud in their laudations of what a splendid edifice it will be l But the people of England deserve to be eternal slaves if they ever again lay their bricks and mortar for them . So O'Connell has come out for the Six Points . Have
I not always told you he would de so , when deprived of Whig patronage and power , and that he would endeavour to make stepping-stones of the sham Radicals to regain it I know your sentiments too well to believe that you can for a moment join in the supposition that O'Connell is a sincere patriot I also believe that you are not the man to lend yourself to the propagation of any other opinion against your sense and judgment Yen know what my opinions are on this subject , and you also know , from your close and personal intercourse with me for the last sixteen years , that I am not the man to bow down before the " golden calf " today , that I yesterday proclaimed a cold , bloated , heartless idoL No , no man shall say to me
" Is it madness or meanness that clings to thee now ? Were he God as he is , but tbe commonest clay , With scarce fewer wrinkles than sins on his brow , Sueh servile devotion ought shame thee away . " No one would be more ready than I would to make any sacrifice , if I thought it were for the public good ; but , looking as I do , a little beyond tbe water ' s edge , I will never embark in a vessel when I know that the old admiral , boatswain , and most of the crew believe her not to be sea worthy ; and that they are only looking out for a shallow to get safely on shore , that they may leave her and her unwary passengers ( after taking their passage money ) to perish on the rocks .
and breakers that surround them ! You know , and I know that this has been done in Ireland time after time ; but again and again has a fresh frigate been rigged out ; and again and again have we heard the old captain ' s cry , " Come along , my boys , pay yonr fare , we're now just going to start for the port of freedom ! " Have we not often started her with 190 , 000 cheers from the bay of Dunleary ; bat alas , have we not always Been her return dismantled and tattered , and her hardy crews ( the forties and the tythe victims ) wrecked and destroyed ! while her Admiral was skulking under the gunwale of the Kingstown and Hollyhead steamer ! And this is the man , forsooth , who is to make England again
" The envy of surrounding nations ;'' and Ireland " Great , glorious , and free , first flower of the earth , And first gem of the sea I " You will bear in miad the many attempts that Mr . O'Connell has made to get the English people to give up their leaders , and also tbe many attempts he has made to cause them to abandon Universal Suffrage for General Suffrage ! Household Suffrage ! Complete Suffrage ! Well , all these have failed , and as I have foretold you , he sow comes to the last kick ; for like Yorick's skull , " to this favour ho must come . " But what a sight is here , my countrymen ; the man who assisted in penning the Charter , then denouncing it , is obliged by the force of events to come back , tired , without any one pitying him , to the very spet from whence
he started , changing as completely as the compass in a whirlwind , the dolphin , or the camelien . The times really seem to have as much effect on him as a tench of the hand to the sedative plant You will also bear in mind that Mr . O'Cornell has been a member and a principal adviser of the Anti-Corn Law League ; yeu will also remark that he rather ludicrously apologised for his absence at the late Anti-Corn Law League , held in London just before the present outbreak , and when Mr . Gsorge Thompson , their secretary , made Buch a violent speech against the Government , and in which some very strong threats were helJ . out I have seen this speech printed and posted in many towns , and on even the huts of the fishermen in Hastings , along the coast Now it is a well known fact that the League premeditated stopping the mills for some time before they did so ; but did Mr . O'Connell ( whom ve cannot conceive to be ignorant of their intentions ) either expose
or denounce such an infernal scheme ? couple this with his desire to get shut of the Chartist leaders , and you have tbe why and tbe wherefore bsucd up in a little Whig wrapper . Ah ! the rascals , if they could only get shut of the leaders they think the people could be easily made to follow , and I am sorry to say that too many of the Chartist leaders have taken the bait that was laid for them , while they are now quite crazy becanse Mr . O'Connor wob too wide awake for them to be caught by tbeir chaff , and they are now crying coward at him becanse he did not give the Tory bullets a chance of trying the softness of his heart , while had he been fool-hardy enongb to display his useless bravery , the rasc&ls who now call him coward would be the first to exult in the arrest of tbe " hotbrained agitator , " or the inglorious death of a man who could allow himself to be made a second Jack Kade , to gratify the thirsty blood-hounds whose burning throats were parching for a second Pdterloo ¦ like Satan ,
" Armed with hell-flimes and fury , all at once O ' er heaven ' s high towers to force resistless way . " Of one thing I am convinced , that the Leaguers have been much disappointed at the strike . They have been foiled in most of their deep laid plots to break up the present organization , and the foiling of which has rendered O'ConneU ' s long hatched address a rather rotten reed for him to lean upon . There is enough of virtue in thepecpleof Ingland , though they were deprived of every leader , to scout from their councils the traducer of their wives and daughters , and the betrayer of 500 , 000 of his own confiding countrymen . They still remember the cry of the factory babes ; nor do they forget the Glasgow cotton spinners , the Dorchester labourers , nor the saout of exultation at the fate of the betrayed Frost No , do ; the men of England will not join with the man who could coldly and callously look on while the blood of the men of Clare is still crying for vengeance . They stili remember , if he shamelessly forget , tbe massacre of Rathcormac 1 of Churchtown ! of Wallstown I and Carriokfihangh ! I am , dear Rafter , Yonr ' s in the good cause , L . T . Clancy .

PROOF OF MIDDLE-CL 4 . SS SYMPATHY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —In passing throngh a few colliery districts of Durham , and Northumberland , I have learned a few faots . namely , any one who has the least desire for freedom can not obtain employment upon the . most tedious terms , that is to say , they can only be employed from day to day , so that if it is found that any slave thus employed shall look into the Northern Star , or any other liberal paper , such slaves are , without a day's notice , discharged from their employ and turned out of their cottages . You must understand , sir , that employers here are both coal mitte ,. cottage , and slave proprietors , for if a man desires work and is willing to sacrifice political principle , he may be a slave for twelve months , and after
being thus bound he cannot abstain from work a single day without a note from the colliery doctor , without being subject to imprisonment—neither are the collieia allowed to have a doctor of their own choosing—such gentlemen are to be selected by the master miners . If a collier takes in a lodger who does not work on the same establishment , the csllier must pay one shilling and sixpence a-week more rent fer rach lodger . School masters are of the same appointment , for it happened a few weeks ago that a poor man , although the first scholar in the whole colliery , was roosted out ef the neighbourhood , and was not allowed to have either a school or employment because his mind was tinged o little with thinking about politics .
The coal-maater 3 are supremely good , pious , and religious . The other day , a raving madman cried out in the street , " Thank God ! no man need go into the pit " ( bell ) , when a poor slave cried out , " What a d- —d lie , for I have to go into the pit ( coal pit ) every day , and work there from twelve to fourteen hours , or me and my family must starve . " The lazy , canting knave had te walk about his business . If colliers are only found talking about politics ovei a pot of beer , it becomes hard work for the publican to get his licence renewed . Yen may judge for yourself how things ate here , when some ot the coal masters are magistrates . They know too well that if the People ' s Charter was made the basis of all future legislation , it would ere long be impossible for any of them to have a supreme control over the labour and lives of a thousand slaves and tbeir families .
By Inserting the above in your next Star , as my proof of middle class sympathy , you will very much oblige , A Chartist Labourer in the Colliery Districts for the last month , Peter Rigby . NeweasUe-upon-Tyne , Sept 25 , 1842 .

Mr . Maude—Did he tell them how they were to get the Charter ? Witness—Yes ; he told them they must get it by moral force ; that they must ask for their tights in a moral and peaceable manner from their fellow men ; and if they refused them , then they must trust to their own right arms ; aye , and their bodies , too , and their long zig-zag click clack bits of steel ; and that the Repealers of Ireland were ready to join them to obtain their rights any day . Mr . Maude—Is the prisoner the person that was speaking at that meeting , and made use of the language that you have stated ?
The witness paused for several minutes , and made no answer . Mr . Maude—Come , now , tell us if the prisoner be the person that made use of that language ?

ANOTHER VICTIM OF CLASS TYRANNY . On Friday evening last , Mr . James Cartledge , the Sesretary to the ' South Lancashire Delegates , was arrested by Mr . Inspector Irvine , en a charge of using seditious language at Mottram Green ,, on Sunday , the 14 th August Mr . Cartledge was conveyed in a coach t © the Town Hall , and consigned to the lock-up underneath that building . A great number of papers and boe&s were seized , ' consisting of Chartist Circulars , Northern Staiv , and portraits given with that paper , together with a quantity el children ' s school books . Mr . Cartledgs having for some years bftck conducted a seminary for the instruction of youth , in which capacity he is roseh respected . A box fu'I of books , belonging to Mrs . CartledRe ' s brother , were also taken to the Town Hall , where they were snhjected to- a rigid scrutiny .
Mr . Cartledfie baviDg boen kept in tbe lock-up from Friday until Monday , was removed to Hyde , accompanied by Iivise and Cross , for the purpose , as the Hyde ma ^ lstr ' atas informed him , to hear the depositions agaicgt him read over , at the same time tellipg him there were other chaiRea against him of a serious nature in Lancashire . The depositions were then read and sworn to , and Mr . Cartledge asked if he had acy questions to put to the witnesses , the Chairman advising him to be esuiious , as his questions would be written down and appear against Lira on \ hls trial . Cirtledge , however , put a few questions , and elicited from the witnesses that they were officers in the Cheshire constabulary force . Cartledge declined saying anything in" defence , and Captain Clark ha-ving consulted his brother magistrates , stated that it was a baLable offance , and ordered Cartledge to find two sureties in three hundred pounds each , and himself in six hundred ' . pounds , to appear at the next Chester ABsizes , and to give forty-eight hours' notice .
Notwithstandirig the exorbitant amount of bail demanded from this pder nian , such wan the conduct of tbe magistrates that they refused to take four sureties at £ 150 each , instead of two at £ 300 . I applied for libeity to see Sir . Cart ! edge , which wca readily granted , and I was locked up with him in his cell for some time , and after consulting with him concerning his bail , he desired that I would make it known to the public , through the columns of the Star , that ha received 'the beet ot treatment at tha hands of the Manchester officers .

STAG HUNT ON TOMIES MOUNTAIN AND THE LOWER LAKES . The lovers of this delightful terra-aquatic amusement ( peculiar to Kiilarney ) were gratified to their hearts ' conttnt on Thursday . The weather being highly propitious , all the fairy flotilla of Loeblane was under weigh at isn early hour , freighted with the youtb , beauty , anil fashion tf the kingdom of Karry , and no few contributions from the kingdoms beyond . At high meridian the hounds were in full cry , and at thia critical moment the boats began to rendezvous near O Sullivan ' s Cascade . ¦ '" The antier'd monarch of the waste Sprung from hb heathery couch in haste , ' *
exactly opposite Vincent Point—dashed to-wards the cataract—bounded towards tke teeming Hood just helow the fall , and stretched gallantly away with r . U his deep-mouthed enemies at his heels . He had not gone far , however , when another Red Rover created a diversion in his favour , and a few hounds were seen hanging on the haunches of the latter . ( This double hunt was only eBJoyed by a few boats in the rear . ) The Muckrush be « gles , however , were no foois , and the stragglers soon'returned to the attack . The first stag had now reached the boundary of Glena , when , as though scrupulous ( unliko some of his biped followers ) of trespassing on Lord K ^ unme ' s property , albeit in a case of life and death , the hardpressed animal turned him round , locked at bis pur-Buers , and descending apace to tbe shore , and panting and exhausted , plunged into U '< q lake .
Scarce had ce . laved his sides iu the pure and refreshing waters , ere a squadron of boats closing around him , compelled him to swim back to land . But the dogs would , not suffnr hira , re-invigorated though he was , to ascend the mountain again , and , like polite Irishmen ,, seemed anxious , and in fact did ail in their power to give the ladies end gentlemen a full and satisfactory opportunity of beholding the exhilarating amusement . They now urged him along the water ' s ed ^ e , and it soon became a contest not merely between tho quarry and his pursuers , but betw > en the hunters on tho land and the rowers on the lako . Cscb more , in the meantime , did the sing plunge into the glassy basin , and ouce more was he drivou back . But though he had thus twice Tenewed his Btrength , on again reaching Vincent ' s Point ( the very spot where he was started ) , he for tho third time sought refuge in the lake ' s pure bosom . He was at last captured by Counsellor Leahy ' s boatmen .
Among the spectators of this unequalled hunt were the following distinguished visitors , th 6 n Btnying at the Muckross Hotel : —Rev . Robert LongB&Ul , CastUmaiy ; Mrs . Jephson , Mallow ; Wilson Gun , E .-q ' , Rattoo ; Peter Thomson and Blennerhasott Thompson , Etqrs ., nnd the ladies of their party . —Correspondent of the Kerry PosL
