    TKO 9 L&S COOFSR . TH 3 CH&XTIST'S WOKKS . THE PURGATORY OF SUICIDES . A Prison Rhyme . In Ten Books . ( One VoL , 7 s . Gd . ) ' The most wonderful effort of intellectual power produced within tbe la ? t eentnry . "—Vie Britannia . " Here ire hare a genuine poem springing out of tbe spirit of the times , and indeed out of the heart , and experience of one who has wrestled with and suffered in it It is no other than a poem in ten books , by a Chartist , and who boldly sets his name and his profession of Chartism on the title-page . It is plain that he glories in his politicalfaith more than in his poetry ; nay , his verse is Trot the vehicle of that faith . Yet , never theless , it is a vigorous and most eficitnt vehicle . We must cordially THOIHASCOOF ^ CHaaWSTiS

    confess that we have read the whole with a feeling of unfeigned astonishment . * * * VTe are by no means surprised , having read his poetry , at the effect of his eloquence on the people . It is that of a soul full of thought , full of burning z-: al for liberty , and with a temperament that must and will come into action . The man is all bone and sinew . * * * He appears to have revelled in history , ancient and modern . Ilis ac quirements in this department are quite anmsig . ? * K he steadily hold on in single-heartedness , there can be no question that he lias before him not only * certain and Wgh reputation , bnt what is of far more consequence , may become a real benefactor to his fellow countrymen of the million in their pursuit of sound knowledge and sound Hbertv . "— Eclectic Beeieic .

    "We hail the writer as a new power in the world of poetry , the rnler of a new domain , as yet but little known , but which the pnblic cannot fail to recognise , when its kings of thought shall pat on their singing robe ? , and with fresh voice and soul speak its praises to the world . "—Sentinel . ^ "The book possesses mind—mind which make itself felt and understood , and which , therefore , demands respect . —Atiiawcum . "Pare , religious , patriotic , he has not a line inimical to the great law of progression . Men may read hint as a preacherpoet His lay is for all time . It will make the le ? . rtof the hopeful glow with a holy fire when he wlio penned it has passed from among men . A « man strengthens in knowledge and love—as passion or prejudice expire—as reason gains and retains her mastery —will this high-soule 4 man ' s work be increasingl y reverenced and read . "—GeneralAdrertiser .

    "Wdl conceived—wrought ont with no ordinary Amount of power—clearly and concisely expressed . "I&mmated Magazine . " One of the most extraordinary literary productions of the day—we may say of the present age—a work which trill gain for its author a reputation as lasting , if not as great , as that of Byron , Spenser , and iUlton . "—Kentish Independent . "Intensity , passion , is his great characteristic ; and this will constitute the main source of his influence , and , unless we are much mistaken , will render the Purgatory of Suicides' as popular in the political , as Pollock ' s 'Course of Time' in the religious , world . —Aottiiigham . Eetuie .

    " One of the noblest creations of modem tunes , deeply impregnated with power anft beauty , and glowing in every page with the illuminings of searching and pastorate thought . He wields an intellectof ii ^ hty power . We snail not halt in asserting that in the catalogue of England ' s greatest bards most hereafter be inscribed the name of Thomas Cooper . "—Shetfrdi Jris . " One- of those rare works which appear at but distant intervals of time . It proclaims the author to be gifted Trith the spirit of poetry in tbehighest degree . "—Leicester shire ifc-cury . "TVtf whole work is one which must impress the wader with the conviction that Cooper , the Chartist , is a man of lofty genius , and must and mil bo remembered ¦ with his land ' s language .

    L&MAS BLiXCHillD AM ) DorCLAS JeUROLD lwd serious thoughts of joining Lord Brron in Greece ; they were to become warriors , anil assist the poet in tho liberation of the classic land . Many a ni ghtly wandering found them discussing their project . In the raidat cf one of these discussions they were caught ia ji shower « f rain , and sought shelter under n galeway . The rain continued ; when their patience becoming exhausted , Blanchnrd , buttoning up his coat , exclaimed , " Come on , Jerrold ; what use shall we be to the Greeks if we stand up for a shower of i * ain 1 " So they ¦ walked home , and were heroically wet through . —SirE .

    Cask oe Ltkciiing . —A nottd negro tlsief , by the name of Yeoman , haying been arrested near AlGany , Baker CGiimy , Georgia , and subsequently discharged by Judjie 'Warren on a writ of kalcus corpus , was immediately rc-arrested , savs the Savannah llepublicwi , and , under charge of Messrs . Mallory , Brinson , and Adams , conveyed at once to Florida . On his way thither he confessed to the gentlemen in whose charge he was , that lie was oac of an organised gang of negro thieves and murderers ; that during the Florida war they had carried on their operations under the guise of Indians ; and that , since the war they had stolen negroes in Thomas and Lowndes counties , Georgia , and Jefferson county , Florida , to the value of over 10 , 000 dollars . He confessed his crimes in detail , and offered them 1 , 000 < Jo !! ars , cash , tor his release , alleging that , if earned to Florida , he kaew he should be unceremoniously hauged . On his arrival in Jefferson county , Florida , the citizens

    assembled to the number of ninoty , and , after an investigation of the facts , took a formal vote , which tvsuHeJ—sixty-seven in favour of hanging , aid twenty-three against it . Yeoman was accoidinuly executed at twelve o ' clock on the 2 nd January . The principal reason for this summary execution of x \ in law was the insecurity of their gaols , and the fact of iiis having a band of accraijiliees in the community , ¦ > vho wjiulii , in all probability , have effected a release . A reward of 1 , 000 dollars has already been offered by the citizens for the arrest of oihi'r . s known to Ik ; c . mntctcd with him who lias already suffered .

    NO VOTE ! NO MUSKET !! After the constrained admission of the Home Secretary and Minister at War , as to the fact that a new Militia Bill was in course of preparation by tie latter functionary , there can no longer remain a doubt upon the mind of the most incredulous , that tbemilitiaisnotonly to be " embodied , " or called out for "training , " but that it is to be embodied for " actual service . " Who , that understands the chicane , the jugglery , and mystery of diplomacy , could have anticipated any more direct or satisfactory answer than that given by the Minister at War ? His language amounts to this , and no more— "Oh it is true that her Majesty ' s Ministers have been thinking about the thing , and talking about the

    thing ; but , then , they do not wish to disclose their cogitations , lest it might serve to apprise the Americans of our intentions , and , therefore , WE , the paternal Ministers , would recommend to the people / for THEIR OWN SAKES , to abstain from any precautionary measures until we shall be prepared with 0 U 11 S , READY GUT AND DRIED , and when it will be TOO LATE to marshal the peaceful mind of the country against the WARLIKE NECESSITIES OF'ME MINISTER . " Why talk of the Militia Act at all , if there were not some strong apprehensions of war ? and why ord « r 43 , 000 SUITS OF REGIMENTALS , if the foregone conclusion was not entertained that war was inevitable ?

    Children are frightened by hobgobiins ,. and birds by scarecrows but we much doubt that a similar effect would be produced upon the back woodsmen ot America , by seeing the forty-two thousand suits of English regimentals stuffed with straw , and propped like Bryan Boroihme ' s soldiers at the battle of Clontarf . Again we repeat that over security has ever been the curse of the popular party , and the annals ot Parliamentary usage should long since have

    convinced the working classes that a government , in whose election they have no voico , stands in precisely the same relation to them that the cat does to the mouse—stealthy , quiet , noiseless , and watchful , until the pounce can be securely made , and the prey securely clutched . This melancholy indifference iu ; iy , in many instances , have arisen from tho fact of parties , otherwise hostile to government , having , nevertheless , an equal interest in Withholding f rOlll the people a knowledge ot their own power .

    In the present instance , however , we are relieved from this double infliction—we are protected against the double shot from this double-barrelled gun , inasmuch as a highly respectable and influential party , whoso aspirations are of a nobler nature than that of subserving the purposes of a government , who , in return , will countenance them in the hoarding up of gain upon the wildest speculations . We have a party , strong in intelligence , powerful in wealth , and

    influential m character , who have tendered . their services as moral force officers , to fight the moral battle against physical oppression . We do not expect the leaders from the ranks of the Protectionists , nor yet of the Leaguers , to aid us in this triumph of knowledge over brute force , but we do rel y upon the cooperation , upon the hearty cooperation of such men as Joseph Sturge , and the members of the Peace Preservation Society , to aid us in our assault upon old and worn-out barbarism .

    Ihe report of the anti-militia meetings held at Manchester and Leicester , ; acd which we publish , will be read with more than ordinary satisfaction by the people , while we feel no little vanity in the perfect coincidence of opinion that exists between ourselves and Mr . SiunoE upon the subject . Mr . Storoe thinks , with us , that the wretch who becomes a wholesale man-catcher , by the sanction of militia clubs , is more criminal than the hired volunteer , a portion of whose business it becomes to perform the sen-ice of recruiting , as part of his duty ; a duty of which he was perfectly aware at the period

    of his enlistment . He further agrees with us that the only legitimate applications to be made of funds in such a case , is for the protection and support of the families of those who shall suffer for their passive resistance to tyranny . We have received twenty page 3 of brutal and vulgar abuse from a wholesale recruiting sergeant , with whose trade , it appears , our article of last week has considerably interfered . This gentleman has our full permission to be secretary to a benefit society , —to have abandoned the

    Chartist ranks for more profitable employment , —to ba the secretary of racing clubs , and also to be crimp sergeant for the government , provided that his prey be selected from creatures as worthless as himself ; while he may rest assured that his brutal language and vulgar abuse shall not deter us from " putting hay upon . his horns , " as a warning to those who , ii not thus marked , he may yet live upon the fears ol substitutes , whom he had prostituted to the inglorious support of an inglorious cause .

    By reference to our columns it will he seen that a National Anti-Militia Society has been established , upon the principles laid down by Mr . Siluoe , and we invite all , without distinction , to a perusal of the rules by which the objects of tho society arc to be practically carried out . Tuenduinption money is low , and is nevertheless fixed by , and based upon , minute calculation ; a fact which proves the interest , the enormous interest , that the officers of militia clubs must derive from THEIR HONOURABLE

    SERVICES ; and therefore we are not astonished that our peaceful bombshell of last week should have caused terror and dismay in the ranks of our slavemakers . We know of no more powerful lesson that true philosophy could read to bloated and confiding ignorance , than that of the nation uniting as one man to pay exemption money , rather than seive in the ranks of tyranny . In thi * struggle we shall not ba left mentally or fiscally alone ; wo shall bo aided by the heads , the hearts , and the pockets of all good men .

    The fact of tho Peace Preservation Society having united with us in this holy struggle , and tho fact of Mr . Stukci ! being extensivel y known and universally beloved upon the Continent of America , establishes a fair hope that our labour in behalf of peace , and in the propagation of democratic « princi ples , may recommend the Chartist party as a valuable auxiliary to the New World , in its struggle for the overthrow of old abuses . We have already pointed out the difference between a volunteer and a " crimp ; " between the mau who voluntarily tenders his service as a human-butcher , and

    him whose poverty makes him a prey to a barbarous practice . The one man contracts to be flogged , contracts to be shot , contracts , as far as hu is concerned , to merge the cWU code into martial Jaw ; when he volunteers as a soldier he voluntaril y relinquishes the slight protection that civil law accords to him ; when he volunteers as a soldier , he abmlons all Unsocial usages of society , ami hands himself over , bound neck and heels as a bondsman , to such tyranny as expediency shall invent , to such cruelty as the

    necessity of the times may justify . As a human being he is degraded , as a politician he is gagged , as a reflective fceinghe may live upon the sorrow of his thoughts , or cheer himself upon their assumed buoyancy , but he has relinquished the name of man . It he is noisy he is not merry , but " he does beguile the tiling he is by seeming otherwise . " Of the . worst that can befall him , he has been a willing purchaser , with full notice of the conditions under which he exchanged partial freedom for everlasting slavery .

    Upon the other hand , the { unprotected skive , who ii "crimped" by the snares and the wiles of one outlawed man society , but pampered by tyranny and licked into a fashionable appearance by the dast . U'dly fashion of the a ^ e—the poor simple soul who is torn from his a ^ cd siiv ' s side , or his crippled mother ' s arm ; who is sn ; itcheii , perhaps , from an infant fVmiiy , whose proj , wl . oso solace , and protcctirhehas been , nevirriiclwv ' raggetlfrom the cotfcigc iKok , wfcicli , wstht . ui hin ' , is a dull vacuum t ; the longing tearful eye t ' sat settles upon the loved spot , but ir .

    NO VOTE , NO MUSKET ! in pamphlet form ! The question is the highest compliment that could be paid to our daring , for if THERE IS DANGER we have been the first TO BRAVE IT , and if the law considered it treason we would STILL BRAVE IT ; for if it ia treason to protect the honest simple , against the snares of the knavish—if it is treason to war with right against might ; if it is treason to prefer the oppremod to the opprwsor ; if it ia treason to love your country and hate its tyrants ; if it ia treason to prefer balmy peaca

    to bloody war ; or if it is treason to present the voice of knowledge to the cannon ' s roar , then do we glory in being a traitor ; while we would caution tyrant * in time , aud tell them , that although " every bullet ha > its billet , " yet they can neither stab thought , fence witk opinion , nor shoot down principle . These are our peaceful arms ; weapons which , if properly used- by the DRILLED MIND OF FREEMEN , will eventually achieve the triumph of justice over injustice , o / knowledge over bigotry and intolerance , of liberty over oppression and misrule .

    ? _» LABOUR AND CAPITAL . THE TEN HOU 118 ' BILL . Tub too long deferred concessions to legitimate and modest demand not unfrequently change argument into remonstrance , remonstrance into threat , and threat into revolution . It was so with France fiftytbur years since , and so witli America seventy-four vearssiuce . Thepeopleofthosecountriesrespectively and respectfully set about the ; correction . of abuse in the modest language of tame remonstrance , which neglect , insolence , and disregard ripened into

    defiance and revolution . The refusal to apply the pruning-knife to the branches of corruption led to the uprooting of the old borough-mongering system . We wore deaf to the appeals of the West Indian slave , tmtil his voice for emancipation was too loud longer to be resisted . Ireland asked for justice , prayed for justice , begged for justice , and crawled for justiceit was refused , and now she demands self-government as the only possible mode of achieving it . ' . Thus we find , that it is dangerous to resist legitimate demands when those who muke them would be satisfied with prudent concession .

    The operatives of this country have , since the intro . duction of that powerful competitor , Machinery . eviuced a tameneas under unmerited suffering , which nothing but the most stringent laws could forco them to endure . The most fortunate portion of the labour , ing class received enormous wages for attendance on the monster during its infancy , and laughed scorn - fully at the opposition of th » se who were the first sufferers from its influence . Nearly tho whole race of England ' s pride , the old hand-loom weavers , were not only starved but outlawed , by this new competitor , and the power that it conferred upon its owners .

    The time has arrived , however , when the monster has become too strong even for . those whose labour is yet required to work it , until at length all now , without exception , stand aghast at the ascendancy it has assumed , and to correct which they have joined in the modest request for some diminution in its hours of working . They have commenced with ten h urs , which , by contrast with the heretofore almost incessant labour , at first sti ikes ^ them as a boon worth contending for ; but ere long , as resistance grow haughty , knowledge becomes powerful , and calculation irresistible , the man who proposes a Ten Hours Bill will be looked upon as a tyrant .

    We do not mean to infer that the immediate coucession of this paltry boon would be instantly followed by a demand for further remission , but we do assert that the longer withholding it will hasten the demand for something more . We have now had a better opportunity of criticising the wholemeasures of Sir II . Pjjkl , and while we heartily applaud them as a means to an end , we assert , without the fear of contradiction , that unless followed by an immediate and statesmanlike calculation , in which the wants

    of labour and power of machinery shall be . fairl * measured and equally balanced , that they will pro . ducc evil instead of good . The labouring classes of this or of any other country have- never received from their rulers more justice than they had of themselvos the power to oztort ; and if this rule lias held goed in countries where the distance between the rulers and the ruled has not been marked bj that strong line of demarcation whifh separates employers from employed in England , it must be felt there with increased severity and weight .

    'lho working class knowledge of this country has , since the period that the power of machinery became dangerous to their order , been mainly directed to tho question of restriction ; and that knowledge , heretofore sectionalised , is now being embodied into an ir . resistible national will to achieve , by law , what it could not accomplish by . Trades' Unions or strikes ' The opponents of tho Ten Hours' Bill may presumo a false security from the desertion of Lord Ashlkt ; while our conviction is , that it will but nerve the dUappointtd for the struggle , and encourage them to further action . We can sympathise with those from

    whose toil the immense amount was wrung , when they speak with becoming horror of the fact oi leviathan capitalists amassing millions of money , while those from whose sweat it is extracted are consigned to premature old age , or a lingering esistenca in a Poor Law bastile . Our voice has been raised when labour ' s oav was deaf ; we have endeavoured to incite the pcoplo , not to revolution , but to thought and self-respect . We have shown that all laws which have not necessary restriction and equitable distribution for their object , will fail to achieve for the working classes a single particle of benefit ; and so

    tuciome and multifarious are the grievances with which the labouring - classes have now to contend , that we are constrained to approve of a commercial policy , in the mere hope that out of chaos order may spring . It would 1 ) 3 impossible to balance the good and tli . bad likely to result from Sir RunKitT Pkkl ' s astounding measures , or to treat them otherwise than m a means to an end . We can sympathise with the broad-silk weavers , whoso trade is threatened ; w can sympathise with the paper-stainers , whose in tercsta are offered as a sacrifice , not to national necessity , but to mere aristocratic caprice . Indeed we know of no two branches of trade upon which

    the Minister has made a more dangerous assault ; while wo cannot discover one single advantage which tho working classes will derive IVom the proposed alterations in those two departments . Nor can we see why the labour of a paper-stainer should bs sacrificed to the amount of five-sixths , while tlu lamllordsarenotcallcdupontosaerificemwo than « ix and eight pence in the pound , or one-third . But yes -we can sec it ; it is easil y demonstrated-the land lords are represented , and therefore their opposition is dangerous ; while the pane ^ tnincrs and silkweavers are unrepresented , and therefore become an easy prey .

    period of labour is twelve hours a-day . If , upon the other hand ,, the working time was . reduced to ten hours a-day , inasmuch as ten is to twelve what five hundred thousand is to three millions , it naturally follows that the whole three millions now capriciously employed would be then wholly employed . Neither do we attach more importance to this question as one of restriction , than as one ot' ^ ncreased recreation and thought . Let those who are not over-ilaved and benumbed by labour , have two hours to devote to reflection , and the fair presumption is , that that reflection will run in the current of progression . period ofiabour is twelve hour 3 a-day . If , upon the

    I he English people , inured to toil , would not be likely to degenerate into idle licentiousness ; although we may not tolerate or justify intemperance , we can make the distinction between the man who rushes , maddened with toil and addled with noise , from the rattle-box"to the gin palace , and him who knows that he has two hours spared from slavo labour , which may be applied to bettor and more creditable puwuits . As , therefore , it would be impossible for the wisest or most far-seeing Prime Minister to embody all the national grievances into one category , and abolish them by one enactment , we invite the silk-weavers , the paper-stainers , and all other trades whoso in terests are threatened by Sir Robert Peel ' s measures to join , one and all , in the loud shout of restriction , and a Ten Hours' Bill .

    What is threatening to the unjust influence of tho protected inasiers , must be protective of the poor rights of their slaves ; aud there is no measure more threatening to their monopoly than a diminution in the hours of labeur . We aver that if the option was given them to-morrow of unconditional and immediate Repeal of the Corn Laws with a Ten Hours ' Bill , that they would reject it as an unjust interference with their existing rights ; and interests . It sounds charitable and philanthropic to sympathise

    with the agricultural labourer , but let them look at home . In some of the manufacturing districts they will find that twenty-eight years is the mean of life while , in the more healthful employment of agriculture , it is fifty-two . Their Blaves commence a "BLOOD RUN"through life , like the young and pampered racs-horse , and , while they are yet ysung in years , they become crippled in limb , stunted in form , numbed in intellect , and prematurely old , before they have arrived at the natural stage of manhood .

    The agricultural labourer is younger , happier , more cheerful and healthy at the age of seventy than the constantly employed oporative is at the age of twentyfive ; his young blood is sapped out of his veins—he was born a slave , bred a slave , lives a slavo , and dies a slave . . Not a slave to the Minister , not a slave to the law , not a slave to system , nor yet to his master , but a slave to the accursed disunion , to the blighting jealousies of his own order . It is a fact , that a people will have the precise form of government that they are entitled to ; and the very existence of a government , especially in a country where speech is free , is the strongest proof of the popularity and acceptation of that government , because at . anv given

    moment the most rank and cherished abuses are ready to surrender without a struggle to the united voice of a united people . We will prove that the English people do not want liberty , do not deserve liberty . We speak of them as a body . If liberty was their aim , the people of London alone could achieve it in ten short days ; could achieve it without the slightest infraction of the peace ; but they are not prepared for it , They would rather read , murders , rapes , and police news , than study those questions , a knowledge of which is indispensable to their prosperity . To reform a government , a people must first reform themselves . We now invite them to a wholesome

    commencement , lhe struggle between the landlords and cotton-lords is at hand ; each will gladly take advantage of the necessities of the other ; and as no question is more threatening to the haughty capitalist than that of diminishing the hours " ot slave labour , and as no measure would be better calculated to relieve landlords , shopkeepers , and housekeepers from the heavy burthen of poor-rates , let tho TEN HOURS " S HELL " burst like magic amongst them , and let the people ; hail the explosion with an incessant echo from without . Now is the time—the very time—the exact time—to force this

    measure in all its bearings upon the consideration of Parliament ; for let the people vest assured that out of tho Btiifo of contending factions alone can they expect deference to their will . When the battle is over , the national- struggle-will commence , and let us be prepared with two hours' breathing time after the day ' s toil to take counsel for future operations . Nothing can be more unnatural than prescribing equal length of labour to the sickly and robust—to the weak and the strong ; and we pant for the iimo when fathers , mothers , and their children shall eat , drink , sleep , work , and play according to their respective age , strength , ability , and inclination .

    COBDEN AND FREE TRADE . Cobdss has written a letter in the Times newspaper to the tenant-farmers . Nothing can be more daugeroiu to tue character of an uneducated demagogue , than a rush from an unlettered , lenient multitude , to a criticising , ill-natured press . Cobden blustering for a repeal of the Corn Laws is one thing , and Cobden ARGUING for the measure is another , and a very different thing . His York speeches were snly for his York audience—his Manchester " SAYS" for his Manchester audience—his town talk lor his CHEAP BREAD admirers—and his country predictions for his rural expectants . Now , all this

    was very well . No man is disreputable in that state of life to which it has pleased God aud speculation to call him . God made Cobdkn an extremel y good man-speculation has made him an extremely foolish one . Of course , on Saturday morniii f , wo are not to be expected to mako a very length y comment upon a rather long letter ; nor can we make room for it , to the rejection of other more important matterbut we cannot withhold the two following paragraph * trora immediate criticism : —

Besides , it is not necessary to throw water on a drowned rat . Poland . —Will Edward Decker say if ths " Sonj for the Pole 3 " is his own production ? Explosions in Goal Msnss . — Sir , — In looking over your paper of last week my attention was arrested by an account of another of those dreadful catastrophes which are of such frequent occurrence , and against which no effectual remedy has as yet been adopted by the coal trade generally , viz ., an " explosion in Wales , " by which at least tliirty-five lives were lost . With the preseutadvanceu and improving state of science ,

    explosions can no longer ba looked upon by a discerning public as mere accident or misfortune , over which there can be no coiitroul , but solely attributable to a bad system of ventilation . Notwithstanding that the frequencyof these occurrences has awakened in the public mind a sympathising feeling , and solicitous inquiry into this system of inhumau butchery—where men ' s lives are estimated at the price of pounds , shillings , and pence—sucli inquiry has been mocked and insulted . This state of things ought no longer to t-xist . An improved system of ventilation lias been matured in the scientific world , and if generally adopted would , I am persuaded , prevent these evils . This improved system has received the sanction of some of the most eminent men of the day , yet such are the prejudices of a very formidable party in the coal trade , that any alteration having the sanction of science , and not originating in

    that body , isrejectsdby them , and unfortunately no legislative enactment enforces it . To my fellow , couutrymen I would say , can you longer think on the amount of suffering to which your brethren are subjected , and not feel as much burning sympathy as will stimulate you to petition the Legislature to pass some definite and immediate enactments for the better ' protection of the lives and limbs of the miners » Be up and doing , then .
