, TO THE ELECTORS AND NON-ELECTOBS J OF HALIFAX . \ FELt& » CoCNIBtUBlf , " - - ^{ tinn l Ab your borough stands in the anomalous ) -v »~ ? , of blowing hot and cold at the same time , hating re * ,. turv . ed a ( nomiaa ?) frdB-trader and a protectionist , , a Maynooth-man , and an anti-MayHOoth-man , a , Whig and a Tory ; although in the last case I admit ! there is a distinction without a difference ; and since yonarethujTirtuallydisfranchised . ontheseandniany other leading questions ef the day , permit me to offer a few retftwks on the conduct of government , and the . temper pf parliament , since the commencement f the late hu'wiei session . i ' The leadii i ? questions that have been before the \ house , are coercion and finance—and I beg you to obserre , that in the Queen ' s gpeeoh , ( the shadoTry ' programme of / uijjisterial measures ) no mention is .
made of a farther developement of free-trade , ( since thesnggesffon as to the nsrigation lawa is but a graft from the < A& tree , > - no allusion to our vitiated legal system , —no-allusion to our church and land monopolies , —no allusion io the * grossest ei all monopolies , th s * of the franchise . Tfee ministry have thus declared themselves unwilling to grapple with any or the leading requirements of fclbeday , and throw themselveffacross the path of progression , wlyintf on tiieir two grsat mainstays , taxation s * nd the bayonet . The njercie 8 and the cruelties of our government are alike- injurious . Take Irelsad as so instance . Last year you were called on to Babacribe , that the victims of avistocracy might linger on—this year j ou
| are taxed * hat those victims may Bo extermfested . . ' Last year you were forced to pay tcsave toe live * of the Irish—this year yon are forced to pay ffrr the 1 murder of the very same people . Yon areconBtrssnsd i to look on white your wealth is there wasted iusn-! productive and * contradfrtory employment—makTJg , tiirnpike-roadsfastead of tiMingfields ; and then coi * - ' gtracting railways to render these , very reads neifi to uselesj ; constractlng th » means of transit ; but taking no steps to- create produce for transmissionaad then leavisg the-ruinous Trorka in an unihiekedi i'ate . The only means of transit now required in Ireland are to theenarehyardjusd the plague-stiip ef the emigrant—or to eonduct the bayonet of coercion
to the heart of its victim . Ia opposing the CeeHjjon Bill , do not suppose I slight all ehse protection for lifff . But when I remember that thirty coercion bills bave been passed within the last few years , and have only aggravated the evil . I eapnot see that this one , though backed by plague and famine , will prow mo re efficacious than its predecessors . The beat guarantee for the landlord's life , is the performance of his daties ; and though , in any instance , murder should be punished , —the shot of the assassin is but the echo of voices in St Stephen ' s , delating sanguinary laws . When , therefore-, the secondary criminal in Ireland is punished , Z claim punishment too for the primary culprit on the treasury bench .
I call ob you . to petition parliameafc against a system so nefarious—and when I say ' petition , ' I am not for any spaniel-like suing at the hand t ^ at strikes ub , but I look onywr Petition as a PROTEST , due from those who would not be participators in a crime . Do ret , either , think that your protest is out ef date , that the queation of coercion is settled , —it is but BKsmc , ~ and you are concerned in its developement , as well aa the Irish : for , as in Ireland , the system is brutality and tht bayonet—so in England it is lruidity and humbugwith the bayonet in the background .
Allow me , now , particularly to point yeur attention to our financial system , —a subject which has slightly engaged the time of eur legislators , in the last session . I beg you , firstly , to observe on haw uneven a > foundation it is . based , since all taxes on th e necessaries of life weigh more heavily on the poor than on any other class—and , since owing to our bad social system , all taxatif n , ( even that on luxuries ) comes out of the pockets of the workine classes . The tax on an ounce of tobacco in , in proportion , a heavier tax on the man who has only a few shillings per week—than it is on him who has his thousands a year . Again , he who erodIojb hired labour virtually escapes that tax , whieh
the labourer is forced to pay—since additional taxation , evea on luxuries , either causes the pulling down of wages , or the employment of fewer bands ; thus verifying my assertion , that all taxes are paid out of the pockets of the poor . This holds good even with a . BB-called 'protective tax . ' as for instance , the corn-tax ; lor , though wages might rise in consequence , the poor were not benefitted ; no , the reverse was the case , —since bread rose too , in price , and the prico of labour was never raised in proportion to the price of food . Thna , even here , the poor man was the loser . What lias the Chancellor of the Exchequer propounded to equalise our system of taxation ?
That system then is one sided , oppressive and unjust ; the financial system , raised upon thiB basic . >'• uncertain and destructive . It is a syBtem calculated to Bndermino'tbe independence of our country . You will remember that , daring the late panic , Nicholas of Russia propped up Threadneedle-street by buying English stock and paying for it in gold . You will also remember that , since 1815 , Russia has been progressing , while England has been retrograding , in finanoial strength . Finance being the great leverage of modern diplomacy , any one having it in his power to stir the mnddy waters of our financial difficulties , will be able to dictate to an embarrassed cabinet . Nicholas will , therefore ^ maintain and increase bis investment , favoured btfr e fortunate dis .
coveryof goldmines in the Ural fountains , since it gives him the power to create , at' anT moment , a panic in England by throwing ali \ Bto ( * P ° . the market , and taking goid in ezcfe : ; , ? f I ' . * a golden no ? s 9 thrown round the neck b ; ° fJ 0 # macy ; a fall security , tbut his designs oh . b ° »' ™ conquest and European liberty skall not be 1 t ? warted —here is a raine practised under our pon ; V o J ? 8 - s a first-ratepover . Such are the consequei " e o navi . j * thBgftverni * at vested solely i » \ mAei a a ^ jS aristocracy . What has yn " ^ hter ¦ rf . ' e the Chancellor o ^ the Ey ; aequer , * - , - « ae ! 4 i ? le tbe danger ? - ¦"' ne * o ohv ^ tnesa otok —»»« maaeit
meet , . ... , incomes * -mm *" to his aid . BathW ^ he has called a cStuted ? Of an equal number G » we committee constt toon fiictTHg opinions—whosejading men of tha mfa ^ ened beyond all rational ' . vwnsaons will ba ¦ totke very constitution of the eoufa— an $ 0 -a last in nettling . That committee of cfo tw * . ^ . ^ gers is but a mask to amu « e the people , until soiEis fresh occurrence leads their attention to another quarter . Well might one of our leading financial organs say on the day before parliament met , when it was rumoured that Lord Grey and Sir Charles Wood were on the eve of resigning : —
' Ab respects tha latter gentleman , we regarded the news as too good to be true . Happy will be the day for the trade , the commerce , and tke finances of England , when Sir Charles Wood shall cease to be Chancellor of the Erchequer ; for a more incompetent person—and he Is as conceited as he is incompetent , —never filled the Important office whieh he holds . We have no idea that Sir Charles Wood is the man to resign of hiBown accord . We shall not , we fear , see him relieved from the cares and released from tha responsibilities of office , until he haB been ejected from Downing-street b y the loudl y expressed voice of public opinion . '
• The remedy for our financial difficulties if the Chancellor of the Exchequer had the political honesty to { propound it , is very easy of attainment . Equalise taxation , by making it direct in stead of indirect as at present , —establish a property tax that should weigh , no heavier in proportion on the means of the poor than pn those of the rich , and , by throwing down thfc barriers of restrictive legislation , take the legislative power out of the exclusive keeping of the monied , class , and place it Sn the hands of the entire population . Then a panic in the money market could no longer cripple the polioy of Englasd , —and though Nicholas might perplex the English usurer , he would not be able to paralyse the English nation .
Fr cm the experience of the past sessien one may judge the promise of the future , nor expect reform at the hands of government of any of those eld monopolies , which press with every day more heavily ob the miseries they create . When I was at Halifax I stated I was a freetrader—but , at the same time , I asserted , that the leading and professing advocates of free-trade were NOT free traders . Talk of free-trade—while yon annul the monopoly of com—but monopolise that which produces it—THE LAND . Talk of free-trade—while you aim to manufacture for all the world ? That is not free-trade—it is trade all on one side—it i » the monopoly of trade by one class of one country .
Talk of fne-trade- while you uphold a Customs and Excise , the two wings by which your Chancellor of the Exchequer , like a cherub of taxation , darts into the pockets of the poor . Talk of free-trade—while your system is confessedly founded on , COMPETITION , which means : ' I will ruin my neighbour , that I may have his share of the prefita and my own too ; I will setup a shop on this side of the street to ruin the old established house on the other , by under-selling it ; and I will repay myself the difference in price out of the wages of my workmen . * You ? I . stem was not frec- ; rade , it might shift some of the burden from the shoulders of the mill-lord to those of the landlord—but did iS take one fraction from the shoulders of the working man ?
_ . . . . . I repeat , I am a free-trader—but my free-trade is nofc the free-trade of competition , it is thfit of COOPERATION ; it is not : 'How can I ruin toy brother man , to obtain his share ? ' but , ' How tan I co-operate with him for our mutual benefit ?' Aa a freetrader , then , I demand free-trr . dein land , We want free-trade in our fields , not alone in our seaports . - ' - As a free-trader , I demand free-trp . de in our , courts of justice . We are told thatA ' he law iftoTJ respector of persons ; perhaps BO / -but it is of pursES .

Why not make the law acpesajble to all—abolish the golden barriers surrounding it —and you would have sufficient security against fri « to ! cu 5 litigation In the t » sed payment of counsel !; the losing party .

WiTXET—A public meeting'of tho inhabitants of tiffs once-thriving town ; was hel'd lastThursdnf-feven " - ing . 23 rd ' . to hear a lecture on tMe Land question , by Mr *< 3 Doyle ; : when , at . sir o ' clbck , the hour cunDimced'for commenc ? B 2 tHe business , the large room ( lately occupied by the Temperance Society ) > waB densely fi'lea by a respectable audience , chiefl 7 ** cqmposed of the h « rdy sons of toil . ' But we also noticed a goodly anrinUling of wtiat is termed the middle class , —farmers , shopkeepers ); manufacturers , and banlfers- . T-all ' equally anxious tt > learn sometbin-gof the grand novelty , whicU Has created such a sensatioiramongst them . THe chair was ably filled ^ by Mr Clark , of-rteSlaplo H » ll'Ihn ; who in a brief butneat and' sensiBle epeecli Introduced' Mr Doyle , —who was received with every demonstration of respecfrby
one of the most orderly meetings we ever saw . Mr Doyle commenced byBhosin ? tlie gieat utility of frequently meeting together , to discuss their grievsnc tho nmeliopfltiosp of tlreir conditibn , for it was only By calm and temperate discussion that the truth was ellicited , as it * tro often happens- that measures purporting to be for the benefit of the people , turned out to be but ; anotHerlink in the chain of'oppression , deeply affect ? - ing the future welfare of themselves ard families ' ,, and the- dearest interests of society ; The lecturer j then , in a clear and'forcible manner , demonstrated ' that th& continual pretensions of our legislators to the merit'of ameliorating tHe condition of the indus-l
trial portion of society ,.-warranted the assumption that there were fmevannea to redreso , and it was ,. therefere > . their bound ' en dnty to consider what those ' grievances were , and the probable efficacy of themensurea proposed for their relief . He then contrasted ' the relative situations of the industrious labourers nnd artisans with the drones of society , and ' said ; ' that if eight shillings a week was suf& cient for a labouring man—twenty thousand two hundred ' pounds a year was too much for the archbishop of Canterbury ; there was something wrong here which not all the Rostrums of Tories , Whigs , nor Free-traders would remedy . * He then directedthe attention of his hearers to the rise and progress of the National Land Company , and its applicabilityto the wants and requirements of the people , not "
only tbe mere labouring portion of the community , but also of the merchant , and the shopkeeper , ina& > much as by its peneraf Adoption , a regular and * an better fcome market would be created , which would insure a more equitable distribution of tke national we<n , a ful ' er development of the national resources , and a more satisfactory participation in tho bounties of nature by every section oi society , and that it was the duty of the government of the country to came the waste lands to he cultivated so as to give employment , and food to those who were wrlling to labour , but who were too often , as aMfeo pre > ent time , in consequence of the artificial state of the labour market , thrown out of employment in forge masses , to the-great injury of society at large . After inviting discussion , and hoping that no one
would go away without expressing their opinions freely , if they dissented from what he bad adwinced , Mr D . concluded a very able lecture of one hour and a half duration , by an earnest appeal to his audience to gain all the information they could on so important a subject , and if they approved of it ; to lose no time in becomingBaembers of the National Land Company , and ressuraed his seat a-nid flisjliearty applause of the crowded assembly . Thanks having been voted to tne lecturer and chairman ,. the meeting separated ,, highly gratified at having heard the truth preached , and we understand that it is the intention of the men of Witney to hold another meetine at the earliest opportunity for the further . ' ance of the object !) of the National Land Company , and its elder brother , and very necessary adjunct , the National Charter Association .
