      KNOWLEDGE-ITS EFFECT ; As we arc now entering upon a new year , ami one whose results promise to exceed those of former years in the 3 ame ratio as the knowledge of the morrow may turn the wisdom of to-day into mere speculative prosumption , it is worth while to oast a retrospective glance at the past , and to venture a conjecture on the future . We do notthen hazard too much in predicting a change of no ordinary nature . Not such a change perhaps , as the improved and active genius of the present times may warrant—not such a change as will at once convince the world of the cause that has produced it , but such , a change as will mark ministerial and party confession of the giant horror that knowledge presents to the tyrant dominion of

      igno-SATURDAY , JANUARY 3 , 1810 . THE CHANGE-ITS CAUSE .

      ranee . A change that will unveil the mystery of kings , the impiety of religion , the superiority of wealth , the romance of loyalty , the fiction ef legitimacy , the sanctity of error , the assumption of the press , the usurpation of an old , and the foul dominion of a new aristocracy , the ascendancy of the idle , the inferiority of the industrious , the inequality of the law , the

      pomp of office and the glare of power , the musket ' s strength and the bludgeon ' s authority , the force of Toryism and the fraud of Whiggery , the prejudice of long established error and tiie folly of old established rule , remnants of barbarous times , are all , one and all , about to vanish before the majesty of right ; the genius which proclaims man ' s equality in the eye of the law , and stamps the idle only with a brand of inferioritv .

      liie mind of the present ago is civilised , while the laws that control it arc barbarous .. The struggle of the day is the contention of knowledge against prejudice , obsolete and out of fashion , except as found embodied in the musty records of ihe wo" ! out past . Those laws against which new rights , now powers , new authority , and new necessities are now struggling , are the laws of kings and priests , and arc an emanation from , and typical of , the barbarous mind of olden times . In those days when the rcaxim was not only tolerated , but admitted , that kings ruled by right divine , and priests were their vice-gerenta upon earth—the knowledge of the old world was warped to kingly and priestly purposes . There wa 3 know , ledge , it is true , but that knowledge was liuvei

      allowed to pass tho limits in which tt was intended its exercise should circumscribe the rights of the throne and the conventicle . The priests of old stood foremost in the ranks of education and of knowledge , but they used them as the assassin uses the daggerto take veugeanco ov aehicYc power—to persuade or coerce . Where they failed to conciliate by the shadow , which was the word , they triumphed by the substance , which was the faggot . Laws were made for them and by them . They tolerated in kings as much puwer as marked their own supremacy , but there it stopped ; and when ever monarchical power appeared to be the envbodyment of the national will , then no more reverence was paid to monarchy than to the foul monster democracy .

      For many a long year fresh knowledge , new knowledge , that knowledge- which could best govern new circumstances , has b « eu wrestling with the declining monster , and at length it lias snatched the dagger from the assassin ' s hand , and plunged it into the assassin ' s brea 3 t . Truth has slain falsehood , simplicity has overthrown mystery , the prejudice of the pa 3 t has faded before the convictions of the present . Now , it is this thing , knowledge , that is looking for the recognition of its power iu the embodyment ot

      its laws ; and while it walks straight in that course to which the living minds of all admit its right , it is met in its progress by the styles , the turnpikes , the dead walls , the ramparts , the bulwarks , and the landmarks of ancient ignorance , dominion , and misrule . And while the minister himself say 3 onward , the dumb watchman ( the law ) warns the intruder , and motions him backward . The mind says onward , but the law , pointing to those barriers , erics backward— " Thus far shalt thou go . but no farther . "

      Tue change , then must be in the law : and the difficulty that any minister will experience iu effecting tlm great object , will be the fruitless attempt to extract such concessions from present interests and prejudices , as will satisfy present requirements . Every attempt has been made and has failed . Every attempt will be made , and will fail , which goes no farther than the satisfying the strong of the moment by the sacrifice of the weak . The landlords may be fed upon the church , the manufacturer may

      be feasted upon the landlords , the throne may be exalted while the cottage becomes debased , and yet this graduated scale of sacrifice will fail to give satisfaction to any , until , at length , all that is sound , all that have interests to protect , must be called into council to devise means for the achievement of the general object . This snapping up of ministriestins rapid succession of speculative progress—this coming in and going out-resi gnation and restoration , is a tacit confession of tho impossibility lon « ci to continue the dominion of class . °

      In no change , whether political or social , have tho people of any country recognised their share , or any portion of their share , except ia those countries where the land which is the propert y of ml , has been conferred , by the change , upon all . France liv its revolution , gained more than England bv ' its Re f orm Bill . True , the peasant was governed bv the bayonet instead of b y the law , but then the bayonet destroyed the law of primogeniture , and disnbuted the land amongst the people , while the vctormed Constitution of England , which professed to give the vote , !>« t led to the <™>™ n c * . „ -.- - ~~ , „„ ,, „„„ ieu uu wie COBrcion tarvat

      ceived as the rightful triumph of knowledge . How often have we proclaimed the fact , that with ninetynine out of a hundred classes represented in the State , while the industrious classes are unrepresented , confusion , dissatisfaction , and strife , even among the represented , must be the result ; while labour being t ' . ie source of all wealth , IF ALONE represented , could not fail to do justice to all . Capital will ever be represented in its power . Labour should hold the dominion of the law to insure the balance between the two estates . _

      The change which we proclaim , upon the first day of the year to be at hand , may be made one of revolution , or of concession ; but , from one or the other , it must result . And if to the former it owes its triumph , which God " forefend , " the criminal that should stand at the bar , charged with all the horrors that may follow , should be the corrupt , the false , the venal press of the factions . They see , and they know that there is an undercurrent sapping old prejudices , while they withhold a knowledge oi tj his essential fact from those who , deprived of it , must legislate in the dark , while , if apprised of its

      growing power , they might be inclined to make timely concessions to its will . But no , the gatherings of monopolists and protectionists are faithfully chronicled , the sayings of the mere units of faction are elaborately paraded , while not a single comment is offered upon the movement of the multitude . It is this unnatural warring of the elements that will cause the great political earthquake , that threatens to shake society to its centre . It is the disregard of the flash from the public will , that denotes the thunder of the puWic voice , that will assuredly follow , that may convert wholesome change into terrible revolution .

      It is the impossibility of the interested capitalist making laws for the protection of labour , which is his battle-ground , that has stood in the way of all ministers , and it is that over which Sir Robert Puel must triumph , or before which he must fall ; for labour will not , cannot , must not , be conquered . Labour ' s battle once begun , Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son , Tho' baffled oft is always won .

      TIIE CORN LAWS , TIIE QUARTERLY REVIEW , AND TIIE TIMS . The monthly artillery is beginning to pour its heavy shot into the flimsy breastwork of the daily press . The last number of the Quarterly Review has rather clumsily embodied our several predictions as to what the result of a repeal of the Corn Laws must be , and the Times , in its attempt to spike the great Conservative gun , has so overloaded its own pop-gun , as literally to cause dismay and discomfiture in the

      ranks of the undisciplined volunteers of free trade , of which our daily co-temporary is the undisciplined drill-serjeant . The bombardment of the Quarterly , and the squibs of the Times , are much too lengthy for publication in a weekly newspaper , and , however we may Quarrel with the clumsy mode in which the Quarterly has used our arguments , yet we defy any , but the wilfully stupid , to read the reply of the Times without coming to the conclusion that that journal has not even yet seen tho length of its own nose into the question of free trade .

      ihe Times became a convert from necessity , and would now become an advocate froir . despair . The Quarterly has very foolishly made the blundering of Lord Chaulks Russeu , Mr . Ex-Chancellor Bamxg , and Lord Brougham , the ground work of some agricultural speculation , and the consistency or raving of Lord Jou . v Russkix matter of observation ; and the Times , passing over the weighty arguments of the

      Quarterly ngainst iree trade , takes up the cudgels to belabour three of the Quarterly ' s giants , and to defend its own dwarf , Lord Jom , and this is all done in the usual fashioned phrase of editorial logic , while the subject itself is left wholly untouched , and having defended its dwarf , the Times then sots about the work of beautifying its beast , and presents its own giant to the affrighted farmer in ths following fascinating character : —

      " .-1 million quarters of wheatis the present average importation , and no opening of ports , or any other device of man , even if we were witling to pay £ o a quarter , can increase that importation aoept . in . a certain known an < l VlMY LIMITED HA TIO . But , even if it were probable , johy should itbe so shocking a prospect ? Now we ask the sane man of twenty-one y ears of age , the man to whom the Charter would give the vote , if he ever read such rubbish , even newspaper rubbish , as the above passage ; and we ask , tliO 3 e who have been so loud in their advocacy of free trade , if their principle ever received sucli a MORTAL WOUND

      from the hand ot its greatest opponent . Now mark the reasoning—that the present annual importation from abroad is about " one milliou quarters , and ho opening of the ports , or any other device of man , could increase that amount beyond a very LIMITED RATIO , even if we paid £ o a quarter premium . " What then , and has it come to this , and is free trade in reality , after all its promised blessings , to end in annual scarcity , annual apprehension , national reliance upon foreign clemency , and IN NO EXTENSION OF TRADE at all ? Now we throw Lord Charles Russkll , Mr . Ex-Chancellor Baiuxg , Lord

      Brouoham , and even Lord John , overboard . We have nothing to do with the miscalculations of the three former , or with the misconceptions of tho latter . We might very fairly base our apprehensions upon failure iu the wheat crop , and use the reasoning of the Times to show that even then , with that single casualty staring us in the face , we had buen mado dependent for an extra demand beyond what was in the power of other countries to supply . But we shall take the more reasonable stand , and assert that , although the 2 , 000 , 000 acres of Lord Chari . es Russell , which he says would be thrown out of cultivation by a repeal of the Corn Laws , and the S 000 , 000 acres heroically speculated upon by SLASHING HARRY , may be

      a wild And extravagant conjecture , that at least 500 , 000 acres in England , : j 00 , 000 in ilreland , ' and 200 , 000 in Scotland , would be thrown out of cultivation . DURING T 1 IE STRUGGLE . Mind , that ' s the rub-and then let us see how the matter would stand . Those million of acres , at an average of three-quarters to the acre , being thrown out of wheat cuhivation , would leave an annual deficiency of 0 , 000 , 000 quarters , which , added to tho averse deficiency ot one million quarters , would leave a C . RTAIN DEFlClENCy offour mniio ^; : ; :, vlule t . ie Tims assures us that a premium of £ 5 a quarter could onl y secure a very limited addition to the average importation of a million quarters annually .

It will be iouml in thoso alterations which a repeal of the Com Laws must inevitably enforce , and which have been repeated by us within the last eleven years , in every possible shape in which words can present them , and in which the Quarterly Rivmv&xd other publications are nsw beginning : o see them . Our speech at Miduleton , in 1839 , wherein we described what must be the inevitable result of a repeal of the Corn Laws , appears to have formed the groumV . vork for the aitic ' . c in the Quarterly in 1815 .

      Consider iftt DiUtions o / capital invested in the dead weigH of those innumerable trades , and then say who will dare to attempt to overthrow these goodly , these magnificent works , to devastate those fruitful fields , to beggar those millions of population by the chaotic eortfi

      If , as tiicre can he no doubt , the plains of the Vistula , the Dnieper , and the Mississippi could , if there were a , regular demand , feed all England at very lorn prises , we cannot deny that iue should soon be altogether fed by foreignvjheat—tliat is , be doomed to foreign subjection whenever tftose governments should think proper to exert even a passive resistance against us . We bog to assure the Quarterly that Iand 9 much more contiguous to home than those on the banks of Dnieper , the Mississippi , and the Vistula , would supply , at a comparatively insignificant cost , any

      amount required for English consumption , while we admit that the cheaper land and cheaper labour , in for distant UNTAXED COUNTRIES , would furnish its quota of competitive production at a much lower cost than Ei . glish farmers could grow it AT PRESENT RENTS , or than our nearer neighbours could supply it . But after all , not only all the surplus of all'the countries in the world , but what can be speculated upon—upon the mere presumption of remuneration , would find its way to the WEALTHY MARKET . The Quarterly proceeds

      To which must be added the abjictand ytt contented condition of the peasant , who , till these inexhaustible tracts of country — but more important still , the amount of British poor rak , and county rate , and Ihe £ 800 , 000 , 800 of debt , for which the soil of England is , as it were , mortgaged . No , ii is not in the nature of things that any compensation could hi made for these enormous difficulties , these , we assert , irresidi-Me ( towers .

      Such are the extracts from the Quarterly , and the Times sums up the predictions of its antagonist in the following unmistakable language :

      . associating this anctent , sublime , and romantic slidingscale . toith our " existing institutions , " he asserU that a repeal will be «" ne \ v revolution . " This much used , if not much abused term , can only mean a fundamental changesuch a change , for example , us would separate church and state , or alter the basis of the utoiiarcAy . Tin witer is true to his promise : he shows that he means this , and a good deal more . Old revolutions touch the sovereign or the clergy , or perhaps a few boroughs and corporations . This , however , wiU overthrow "tin eimrch and state , " " landowners , fanners , and labourers , " " manufacturers of all classes , " and spread to the solid earth itself , xvill render the island one vast wilderness , on which the whit population sit down and perish , not because , like llagar , they have spent their water and their bread , but because tlie country is absolutely overflowing tuil / i foreign corn , and then is more than the whole population with their utmost exertion eannotsiUy ta > .

      There , reader , that ' s from the Times ; a sneer from the Thunderer . It is the summary of free trade results , and we adopt it , whole and entire , as our own . It is something new to hear the organ ot the altar , the throne , and the cottage , speaking of revolution as mere fundamental change , which SEPARATES THE CHURCH FROM TIIE STATE , and ALTERS THE BASIS OF THE MONARCHY . This is , in truth , putting a smiling

      countenance upon the grim outcast , and giving to the revolutionist an honoured standing in socisty . The Thunderer sneers at a people starving in the midst of abundance ; but have we not seen operatives naked in the midst of their own production ?—the children of shoemakers barefoot ?—the families of pastry cooks without a meal ?—the blacksmith ' s horse unshod ?—the people of Ireland starving in seasons when potatoes have been turned into manure

      in consequence of their abundance ? Have we not read of the agricultural labourers of Dorsetshire starving in the midst of their own produce , and always lowl y in proportion as it was valueless , bet cause cheap ; and we now repeat , that the surplus of the world , nay , sorno of the actual requirements of our nearest neighbours , being brought into speculative competition in the wealthy market of England , will starve the agricultural labourer , and make the manufacturing operative a slave—a machine , in the hands of the slave-master .

      During the slangs of the Chartist convention we repeated our old opinions rs to the inevitable result of a repeal of the Corn Law 3 , when Mr . West observed , that if the change was to separate Church from State , sponge the debt , . and shake the throne itself , that he should like to know upon what grounds we could oppose the measure ; to which we replied , that UNDER EXISTING CIRCUMSTANCES , the free trade wind that shook tho Church and

      wrecked the State , would not blow a single CHURCH PLUMB or STATE PLUMB into the mouth of Mr . West or his order ; while in their poverty they should bear all the blows of wealthy faction , until proper adjustment had defined the share of the several orders from the change . This explanation was received with cheers and laughter , and to it we still adhere , confirmed in the notion that privileged property will ever be an over-match for unprotected labour , until both are EQ . UkL UNDER THE LAW , and EQUALLY REPRESENTED IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS .

      THE LAND . After consultation with my brother directors , I find that it is their opinion that the subscriptions from those localities heretofore transmitted to the General Secretary , and accustomed to correspond with him , had better ho continued through the same channel j indeed , there is no difference as to the monies being sent to me , or to Mr . Wheeler . The principal thing that I aim at , is to enforce the necessity of making all orders , to whosoever sent , payable to Mr . Roberts , a 3 a different course entails endless trouble upon me .

      TIIE ARREST OF MR . O'EIGGINS . We announced in the Star of Saturday last , the arrest of Mr . O'Hwoiss , by the Dublin authorities , on a trumped-up and ridiculous charge of sedition , From what transpired at the police-office , there is no manner of doubt but that the arrest of Mr . O'Higgixs , and the intended prosecution of that gen- tleman , have been at the instigation of Mr . O'Cox- keix . The paper or placard upon which the charge of sedition is founded , will appear to every unprc- judiced mind to bear a construction very different from that which Mr . O'Cosnell has put upon it . I The hatred of the O'Connbll staff against Mr . O'lliooiss arises out of the simple fact , that he knows the character of every man of them ; and as they cannot assail him , and being vulnerable themselves , they fear and hate him . His honest y and straightforwardness is a reproach to . them . Never theless , he has friends , and sincere ones , too , oven . we believe , SHnong the members of the Repeal Isso elation . That Mr . O'Co . vmi , instigated tho government to the present prosecution of his old friend will appear plain enough by the following extracts from his speeches : —

      _ On Monday , the 17 th November , Mr . O'Connell , in alluding to the document ill qiteation , said—I now call the attention of tho meeting to a document transmitted to me by post this morning . It is headi-d , Landlords and Tenants—Turniug Tenants Out . " It is au exceedingly well printed papor , and purports to Inprinted by 11 . and J . Pilkingtou , Turnstyle , jrolborn . In it the strongest possible argument is used , to induee thitenants to murder their landlords . ( Hear , hear . ) This hideous paper lias been aonwtimo in Ireland . Some persons havs seen it distributed in the northern parts of this county , at Ualdoyle , especially to the labourers employed on the railway . A copy of it came into the hands of . Mr . Arkins , who was able to trace it to the person that cir . culvitwl it , that person being % stranger . The moment I saw it , I got Mr . Arkins to go to the Castle with it , to the Comniissioneas of Police , and he left it there accordingly , and , accordingly , they took not a single stop with respect to it from tliat day to this . ( Cries of" Shame . ") Nothing can be worse ; I will deposit this with Mr . Kay , aud move that it be referred to the committee , to sue if we can trace it out , as tho police and the government seem to be idle upon the subject . I move " That this document be referred to th » committee . " The resolution was put and carried .

      i ¦ \ ' * . , lV ' . n i : How can any man , possessed of one particle of honourable or manly feeling , continue a member of a committee thus converted into a " Detective police >'» O'Gobmax Mahov said , and offered to prove , that O'Connell gave information against him as a Terry Alt , for the purpose of depriving him of thc rcpreseutation of his native count y Clare . Hc called loud and long for the blood of the O'Connors , the Stephens , and the Oastlers : but more especiall y for the blood of the-muocentcoUwvsp iuaeMof Glasgow . And now hc thirsts for the blood of his old friend , O'HW ms which will be seen clearl y WM > Ugl , , when the sworn * inlormaUoMofArkha and others come befop- th . public . At the next weekl y meeting lio brought IV w , ud the subject agaiu ,.

      On the 24 th ultimo ; ( see Frteman of the 25 th ) , Mr . O'Coxseli . said : — - . ; That while on his legs he would coll the attention of the association to the fact that , on thatday fortnight , he felt it to be his duty to denounce a certain infamous document—a hand-bill which appeared to have been printed bytt . and J . Filkington , Great Turnstyle , Holborn , Londtn . It was a document which he felt it to be hU duty to denounce , because it incited tenants to the assassination of their landlords . Twd other copies of this document were that morning found posted on the doors of the Conciliation-hall , with , this remark appended : — The above is an exceedingly well printed document . Daniel O'Connell . See Freeman ' s Journal , 17 th instant . ^ One cf , the documents , so posted , had been sent by him ( M ^ ^ , ^ ^ « .. « .. » n !_ . r— . f-.. ... « ril ,,, o .-u . \ n / r-

      O'Connell ) to the police authorities , in order to ascertain whether tho matter might not have been investigated , with a view to the exposure and punishment of the authors . He had a very strong suspicion , however , that the guilty parties ' were some of those policemen known by the names of "Detectors . " ( Hear , hear . ) Ho might be wrong , but he had a very strong impression to that effect . The fact of the matter was , that printers knew each , other ' s type just as well as one man knew the handwriting of another , and if proper inquiries were instituted thsro could not bo the slightest difficulty in finding out whether the . Messrs . Pillcington ' s were or were not the printers of the document . He trusttd it would be looked into . The circumstance of its having been posted on the pillars of

      tho Conciliation-hall only enabled him to caution the people against the spies and informers who had thevillany to concoct such a document , and to take such a step for its publication . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) He hoptd that some true hearted and intelligent man would lay hold of tlio miscreants , and so become real detectives , whieh was a great desideratum . ( Hear , hear . ) Hc would not read out this vile document for the association for he could not think of being in anydegrco instrumental in circulating it , or iu making it more generally known than it was at present . Last week he had handed a copy of it to the government reporter , and the copy which remained any one connected with the police , who chose to apply for U , might have .

      Now , then , would not any man imagine that thi 3 must be a most atrocious document . Let the reader turn to the report of the Devon Commission , and the letters of tho Times Commissioner , and see if he cannot find in these something very like the document about which Mr . O'Connell has made such an outcry . Here follows the document referred to by Mr . O'Connell , and which we published some weeks

      since : — LANDLORDS AND TENANTS , —TYRANTS TURN . IiVG TENANTS OUT . Question : Has a landlord the right to turn a tenant out of bis holding or farm ? Answer : He has , when the land is let on fair and reasonable terms , and the tenant neglect 3 his farm , or does not pay the rent . Question : Has the landlord the right to turn out tha tenant without first paving him in full for all his outlay in building , reclaiming , manuring , enclosing , draining , &c , ifcc .

      Answer : No : the landlord has no such right . It would be robbing the tenant to take the land from him without first having paid him the full value of these improvements , and also compensation for the cost and loss incurred by removing to another place , even to a settlement in America , 'if he chose to go there , because , when a tenant is deprived of his land , whether by tha cupidity , whim , or tyranny of his landlord , he has nothing to live on , and consequently becomes either a , bur-• • hen to society , or ho , his wife and children , die of want , which is too often . the case ; and , therefore , the landlord is to all intents and purposes guilty of causing the deatii of unoffending men , women , and children . Question : When a tenant increases the value of the land , by reclaiming , building , enclosing , manuring , draining , Ac , has the landlord a right to charge the tenant a higher rent on the expiration of the lease , in consequence of the increased value of the land by tha labour bestowed upon it by the tenant ?

      Answer : No , most certainly not : because the increased value of the land was caused entirely and exclusively by the labour , tail , care , skill , industry , ' and outlay of the tenant , and not by any act or thing done to the land by the landlord ; therefore , he who charges au increased rent robs tho tenant of the reward of his labour . Aud it Is written that such conduct cries to heaven for vengeance J Questian : What would be said of the man who would give a rougli block of mahogany to a cabinet maker to make a chest of drawers , and when he had made them , the owner of the block charged him for making them instead of paying him f Answer : The owner of the block would be called a rogue , and the cabinet maker could make him pay .

      Question : What is the difference between the conduct of the landlord who charges an additional rent , mostly double the amount , to a tenant for rough land which he has reclaimed aud made fair and fruitlul , and the man . who charged the cabinet maker for making the drawers , instead of paying him ? Answer : The conduct of the landlord is worso by far than that of the owner of the block ; because the poor tenant cannot go to law with his landlord ; he must either submit to the fraud or be turned out and die . He cannot carry the laud with him . It is stationary ; there it remains . The cabinet maker can carry his trade and his tooU with him any where ; aud can also keep the chest of drawers till he is paid .

      ti Landlords , kneel down , and pray to God to fill your hearts with a sense of justice . Ask of Him to inspire you with the feeling and desire to " do unto others as you would be done by . " Bear in mind the fate of tho Hun . garian tyrants , and how Mo 3 es slew the Egyptian op . pressor , and buried him in the sand . Ask yourselves , on bended knees , how you would like to live on rotten potatoes for the next three months , A Landlord who loves Justice .
