      THE CHARTIST CAMPAIGN

      IMPORTANT PUBLIC MEETING . A public tosrec ^ as held at the National Hall , High Holborn , on Wednesday evening , February the 2 nd , to pay a well-merited compliment to those faithful champions of the people's" political and social rights , T . S . Duneombe , T . Wakley , and ¥ . O'Connor , taemhers of Parliament . At six o ' clock & goodly number of Democrats of both sexes graced the ball with their presence . On Mr O'Connor entering , he was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers . Unfortunately , the long-standing illness of Mr Buncombe prevented his attendance ; and a similar cause , illness—though . we trust only temporary— prevented the . attendance of Mr Wakley . The tables having been cleared , Mr Ernest Jones

      was called ts the chair , amidst enthusiastic cheers , and said : 'As that great lawshop in St Stephen ' s , across the counters of which the people are sold , is to opento-morrow . we are met to-night to cheer those few honest advocates whom we possess onward in the strnsele . ( Cheers . It is said , when matters are attheworst , they mend ; but if they are to be mended , you must mend them ! ( Hear , hear . ) Expect nothing from aristocracy , or middle-class . Welcome all friends ; but stand for yourselves . Do not buy of the political pedlars who hawk their slop-made articles—their sectional agitations . If yon buv , you will have to pay for them in disapfrom

      pointment . Above all , expect nothing government . Ton have heard the saying about burning both ends of the candle at once . Well , you inowthat the queen is building a new palace for £ 150 , 000 at Westminster . To-day ' s papers tell us the vestry of St Pancras are obliged to build a new bastile for their paupers . There barn both ends of the candle . The aristocratic end at Pimlico , and the pauper-end at St-Fancras . Thus the light of England ' s prosperity will soon burn out ! Seeing that the workhonse is not yet built , and that the palace is ready , I would suggest that the queen be requested to give her new palace to theEnglish paupers ,

      since it has already long held the foreign ones . ( Lond cheers . ) Youhzve heard that the revenue has decreased , and taxation has increased—there bum the two ends of the candle ! Last year added eig ht millions to the National Debt , and took millions froia national production . There burn both ends of the candle . ' How long do you think monopoly will see its way ? As long as you are disorganised—as long as you are patient and resignedwhich means slavish and serriler-but no longer ! ( Hear , hear . ) Government are trying to breed national antipathies against our continental brethren . They are raising the war cry—they want to embody

      the militia . Tell them you abhor fighting—hut if vou are to fight , you will fight for yourselves . Ask them what you are to fight for ? Your rights ? Then speak of your wrongs . Tour honour ? Tell them there is no honour in slavery ! Tour native land ? Tell them to give it you , and then you'll fight for it . Tell them you will raise Rational instead of National defences . ( Cheers . ) They are trving to foster animosity between you and a nearer land—between the twin sisters of the sea—the two pearls in the ocean ' s diadem— between England and Ireland . ( Cheers . ) Mark , how skilfully they do it : first they take the food from Ireland at the point of

      the bayonet . Well , the Irish naturally come over to see what becomes of their food . Government have never serieusly prevented this , for by it they gain a double object . They produce afresh competition reserve to bring down English wages , and this foments feelings of hatred between the two nations . ( Hear , hear . ) Again , they send English soldiers over to coerce the Irish , and bring Irish soldiers here to coerce the English . The same with their police . ( Hear . ) Even God they try to make a party to their quarrel , and strive to re-create religious animosity .- One faction has again raised the miserable cryof ' No Popery ! ' We answer them— ' No

      humbug ! ' ( Loud cheers . ) Ah , my friends , the blue ¦ waters flow between England and Ireland , and tyranny has not been able to bridge the channel over with its blood and steel—it cannot tie the two ] ands together with a halter , and unite them under a yoke ; bat fraternity will bridge over those waters with a bridge of love , on which both nations shall meet half-way , mingling their cries of' England for the English i ' " and 'Ireland for the Irish ! " For the tyrants of the one are the oppressors of the other , and the wrongs of either are the grievances of both * ( Continued cheers . ) To the work , then , Chartists 2 nd never deviate in your course . Remember , a

      straight line is the shortest way between two points ; therefore listen to no compromise , and swerve from no pr inciple . When a nation seeks freedom , a social movement , nnaccompanied by a political onei is but a nugatory measure-while all political movements should also have a social tendency . ( Loud applause . ) If , then , you want to emancipate yourselves—if you really want to obtain practical liberty—if you really want Jo make your glorious Land Company a national movement—rally for the Charter , as the great means to your end . It is , therefore , I have sincere pleasure in proposing the following sentiment : —

      1 The People ' s Charter—may it speedily be enacted ss a law of ; his realm , and its benign influence bring true peace and lasting prosperity to the whole of the hEmsn kind . ' Mr McGrath , who was loudly applauded , rose to respond to the sentiment , and said he ag-eed in one observation made by their chairman , viz . ' That they had nothing to fear from a foreign invasion / but the invasion they should prepare against was that of the aristocracy , the profitocracy , and the taxcollector . ( Cheers , ) The working men need take bo heed-about the humbug of ' Our National Defences , ' but proceed to put themselves in a position

      of defence from their domestic enemies—depend on it , their best defence was the panoply of the 4 People ' s Charter . ' ( Loud cheers . ) Let them have that , and they would no longer be the sport of landlord or fundlord . ( Hear , hear . ) How is it they had not got the Charter ? Simply because they had not been true to each other , they had not faithfully united in heart and hand . ( Hear , hear . ) Look at the present condition of the people of England ; are they not far worse off than the slaves of the West Indies ? Yes , for the latter are fed , whilst the former died , by thousands , of starvation . ( Loud cheers . ) In Ireland things were even worse .

      "Why was this ? Because a system of class legislation is allowed to prevail . Did this not show them the necessity of struggling for the Charter ? If the people willed their freedom , they could win it , { Much applause . ) No one was now found to deny the truth and justice of the People ' s Charter . ( Hear , hear . ) The time was coming when Mr O ' Connor would give the Whigs an opportunity in the House" of Commons of telling the people their present opinion on Chartism . ( Great cheering . ) Those principles were in accordance with justice , virtue , and philosophy . ( Loud cheers . ) The question resolved itself into this : should the

      minority rule ? There was not a single benefit society in existence acted on this principle ? were one to put it forth in . its rules thesoci-ty weuld call in vain for members . ( Hear , hear . ) The one to make the laws , and the mass to tubmii , was the aim of the Whig and Tory tyranny aud despotism . The time had fully come when Whig aud Tory rule should be got rid of ; ( loud cheers , ) such musty-fusty rags of principles could no longer be endured . ( Laughter and applause . ) The free-traders eeeentty held a meeting ia Manchesfer , but they scarce seemed to know what they had met about ; he defied them to sho ; v that their nostrums had brought one single blessing to the working man ' s door . ( Lond cheers . )

      No , it was left for Chartism to do that . ( Hear , hear . ) It was high time that the monster class legislation was swept into annihilation . ( Loud cheers . ) " The Charter was to the people what money was to the traveller—his all , his everythingit would enable them to regain their agrarian rights ; open the door to reli ^ ous liberty ; enable them to deal with the monster , miscalled ' National Debt , ' a debt which , when formed , was intended to remain as long as the world should- endure . ( Hear , hear . ) He trusted one result of this meeting would be reorganisation of Chartism in this metropolis . He hoped they had resolved to adhere heart and soul to the ' ' Charter and No Surrender ! ' ( Great applattse . ) The chairman said , I have now to introduce a particular friend of Lord Palmerston ' s . ( Cheers . )

      Jcliah HiEKiT , who W 8 B received with great applau&s , said : It is now sometbiag like ten years since that symbol of our political faith , the Charter , was launched upon the stream of time . In the course of those years events have occurred which unmistakably announce the coming of that time when our Charter ghall be . law : ( Cheers ) Those who remember the zeal and enthusiasm of nine or ten years ago , and the sanguine hopes then cherished by maltitudes of young meD , and still younger politicians , and contrasting those hopes with the present position of the popular movement may be inclined at the first glance to ask , what have we gained ? Is the reward achieved proportionate to the toil ' expended ? Could I speak now , as I would have spoken

      ten years ago , I should mO 3 t likely greatly underrate our progress . But the man who has lived ten years , and ia the course of that time learned nothing , has been unworthy ef his very breath . I have learned to estimate the hemely proverb that' Rome was not built in aday ; ' and that a people subjected to a thousand years' mJBgoverntnent , cannot be regenerated in thegpsceofailngleyear ; and , thoughtfully reviewing the past . I come to the conclusion that our gain baa been immense , sad our reward equal to our toil . If that reward is not greater , it is because we have not deserted it . Time has taught raetue value of patience conjoined with perseverance . Oar progress may be slow , but it is sere . In the first place , we have winnowed the cb&ff from the wheat , and hap

      pily are no longer troubled with the ' respectable mon 6 y « HOKhippinK ad . ventn . rewi w&o trafficked in the misplaced confidence of the people , to acquire therewith position , place , and public plunder ( Cheers . ) Again , nearly the whole of our workerga | leaders have passed through the fires of persecution ; and trhile some faint-hearts have eunk beneath the eenrching blast , others have like the phesnii , ' renewed their youth and their strength , and derived power from the very means employed for their destruction . ( Applause . ) In spite of proscription and tribulation we hare kept oar serried ranks ia good order , and no matter how hard blew the hurricane we have always borne our flag triumphantly aloft . When governments persecuted , when the press denounced ,

      when the League attempted to delude the people , oar Charter was like ' the cloud by day and the pillaf of fire by niaht , '—the unerring guide of those millions who desired liberation from blindage and safety from the sword of the pursuer . ( Applause . ) Within the last ten years we have established a press , which is at once the proclaimer of our sufferines , the champion of our rights , tho recorder ef oar labours , and the herald of oar progress . ( Applause . ) We have iff many placeB stormed the entrenchments of local power , and in the late general election we carried more than one position , and by the energy of the forces of Nottingham we were enabled to Bend our general into the very

      citadel of corruption , there to plant the banner of tha Charter . ( Great aad continued cheering . ) Furthermore , the men of the fustian jackets have seen the uneducated chiefs of their class contending Trith veteran statesmen , college-bred legislators , and the scioHSof the aristocracy , for the civic crown of popular representatien—and in every instance triumphant on the hustings . ( Applause . ) At the late election we proved—in the words of an immortal legislator of France— ' the ereatness of man and the littleness of the great . ' We unmasked the showy , shallow pretensions of the ' superior orders , ' and proved , that in ipite of poverty agd neglect , and the thousand disadvantages which conspire to chain the ssb of labour to the dHst , —

      The man o' independent mind Is king o' raan far a that !' ( Immense applause . ) Lastly , the uaeiatnpled success of the Land Company proves our progress . ( Hear , hear . ) The plan of that Company proves that we are no vain pretenders offering the people barren political theories . We are practical menmen who regard the Charter « g the means to the great end ot social happiness . ( Loud cheers . ) Thus much for our positive gains , surely sufficient to stimulate us to increased esertioas to attain the object of this sgitatien . I have spoken of experience correcting the errors of impatience ; bat that

      experience has confirmed the wisdom of the two great principles which has characterised this movement from its commencement . 1 st . The right of the people to achieve their liberation by any and every means consistent with hoHOar ; and 2 nd . The ^ necessity 9 f self-reliance on the part of the masses . With the most loathing Ecom I repudiate that system of cant , under cover of which political charlatans raise the ery of P « aca , peace , when there . ia no neace ^ Peace Indeed ! there noitber is nor should bepeace between the oppressed and the oppressors . ( Cheers . ) Peace , indeed ! peace with ' assassins , with those who murder according to

      law' Vho take our lives When they do take tfce means whereby we live , ' Who slay their thousands daily by hunger and broken hearts ; who have murdered hundreds of thousands in Ireland , and have the unblushing assurance to send their blood-shedding Special Commission througa that country , to . hang a few pettj assassins , -while ikose wholesale exterminators , the Thnggite landlords , are allowed to sleep in their beds fearless of the gallows . Peace with those ! To all such be war ! deadly , fierce , unrelenting war . ( Immense applause . ) As tbe mighty son of Carthage swots in his boyhood No peace with Rome , ' and faithfully fulfilled hisfvow to the last moment of his existence , g o let us awear no peace with our

      oppressors , and boldly seize upon every opportunity to carry wtr ' mtothe enemy's camp in every shape and form calculated to effect our objeefc . ( Great cheering , ) But , above all things , let as depend upoa ourselves for oar own deliverance . We have sever foundjnstioe , or mercy , or honour , at the hands of any class above our own . Kings have used us to strengthen themselves againit conspiring aristocrat ! . Those aristocrats have in turn employed our physical power to eurb the insolence of kings . Priests have invoked our strength , in the name of God and religion , to uphold the power of the Church . Arjd , lastly , the middle classes , by wielding the might of the millions , hare snatched power from Crown , eoroaefc , &ni wUrs . But once their own pnrpoies Here servedking and lord , priest and profifcmenger , have

      , rewarded us with a double dose of despotism for playing the part of cat ' s paw for them . ( Cheers . ) The history of the last sixteen years proclaims trnapeMonEned the iniquitous and monstrous ingratitude of the middle-class . Unite with the middle-class ? Unite rather with wolves , bloodhounds , and tigers , honest monsters compared with that class whose conspiracies created the reign of terror and rained the French Republic ; who in 1830 a second time deceived and betrayed the people of France ; who have already corraoted » nd blasted the institutions of Washington and Jefferson , and made the once ' model Republio' a by-word and s mockery j and , above all , whose trcasoa to tbe peeple of this country is the cause of all the evils and miseries suffered at thia moment by the working

      classes . ' Laws grind the poor and rich men make the laws . ' atjd those rich men are the delegates and mouthpiece of tne middle classes . ( Great applause . ) Working men , let their great truth be impressed upnn your memeries , and written upon your hearts , that Labour must be its own emancipator . 'By your own arms the eonqustt mast be wrought . ' From the plough , the loom , and the anvil ; from the hut , the garret , and the cellar , must come the deliverers of your order . ( Enthusiastic cheering . ) You have nothing to hope for at the hands of either faction in the legislature , I disagree with those who think that because Lord Finality has become a convert to Free Trade and Jewish Emancipation , that some fine

      morning he will wake up a convert to Chartism . In joining the Free Traders , and coming forward as the champion of the Jews , he has but followed the instincts of his house , always to have bi « nose near the money-bags . Tlio Houga of Bedford is too deep in Church plunder , ever to voluntarily accept the Charter . As to the stable-minded statesman , he has lately declared his opinions in unmistakable terms . He has written a letter , in which he declares that he voted for ' the bill , the whole bill , and nothing but the bill . ' as a final settlement . He agrees with Lord John Russell , tbat the country cannot afford to undergo a revolution once a year , or even once in twenty years ; -and thinks the Reform Act calculated to fnlfil all the rational wants of the conntry for half a century to come ! Working men , Ijtrust we shall yet teach his lordship to sing to another tune .

      ( Cheeis . ) Woe to these aristocrats , if in pitiful iraitatien of tbe Danish monarch they attempt to stem the overflowing waves of Democracy . ( Cheers . ) Men of the metropolis , ' time and the hour' announce this to be the moment for action . The flag of regenerated Italy floats victorious from the towers of Palermo—( cheers)—and the wretched thing of Naplesabandone grape shot for concessions those who were hh subjects , but are now his masters ( Loud cheers . ) The thing of Naples when he first heard of tho revelt of Sicily , was takt-n very badly , and had to be twice bled . ( Lauehter . ) Would that I were his physician . ( Re newed laughter . ) When kings are ( aken badly , it strikesnse tba ^ the proper place to bleed them is in the neck . ( Great applause . ) Switzerland is about to unsheath her s word in defence of her ancient liberties , a d her right to march in the path of protrusion un-

      questioned by a traitorous king or an imbecile kaiser . Metternich , qn the brink of the grave , is foaming with rage , seeing , as he does his accursed handy work already crumbling ; into rains- The Avant' c Garde of the students of Par ;? proclaims the coming revolution in France . The British government , unable to meet ; its home difficulties , sees at the same'time Canada preparing for another struggle , and Chartism taking root in Ireland . ( Cheers ) Democrats of London , novr is the time tor action . You have the sympathies of the people of all nations on your side . Your cause is just , and your enemies are in confusion . At such a moment the . word must be—'• Up Guards !—Upasd at TH 2 U ! ' ( Enthusiastic and prolonged cheeriag . ) The Chairman then read the following sentiment :- ! . •¦

      « : T . S . Duneombe , M . P ., and Thomas "Wakley * M . P ., may they live long in the enjoyment of thBt unrivalled popularity which they have earned by their great exertions in the cause of justice , and may they continue to straggle on in the same noble career Until their exartions , aided by those ot the workirg classes , hare gives freedom to an oppressed and injured people . ' Mr William Dixon , in responding to the sentiment , said : He was sorry that those gentlemen were prevented by severe indisposition from being present . If any man had deserved well of the peor pie , that man was Thomas Slingsby Duneombe . ( Great cheering . ) And his -honourable colleague was equally worthy . Vole , or speech , on behalf of ihe people , had never been found wanting ; . ( Loud

      Cheers . ) He was glad to be able to announce that tie health of Mr Duneombe was improving , and they might hope to see him , Wakley , andO'Gonnor , battling side by side in the house of Commons , in favour of the people ' s rights . ( Great cheering . ) Two better men than Duneombe and Wakley were not to be found in that House . ( Great applause . ) Look at the conduct of Mr Duneombe on the Graham Post-office Espionage . Again , at his _ brave and courageous conduct in calling an uujust judge to account for trampling on the rights of the people . ( Great cheering . ) But it was useless for those men to struggle , if the people were apathetic . ( Hear , Lear . ) The people now began to feel their dignity as men , and right glad was he to see them on the inarch to freedom and happiness . ( Great ap-P lause - )

      . ...... The Chairman then introduced the following sentiment , amidst waving of hats , handkerchiefs , and every conceivable demonstration of popular applause , long continued and oft-repeated . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., and may prosperity ever attend his untiring labours for the National Land Company ; and . majr lie long lire a proud spectator of a nation enjoying those political aad social rights of which he ia the disinterested and gifted advowte . ' On Mr O'Conkor rising , the plaudits were renewed with , if possible , increased vehemence , which having subdued , he said : He hoped his rehearsals in another place had not unfitted him for an

      enlightened audience . ( Laughter . ) Allusion had been made to the Btate Chartism was in ten years ago , and when he took his tour , thirteen years ago , as a Radical missionary , he told the people of Stockport that he was marshalling them for auotion , and that he would knook them down as Boon as he found a Minister that would bid Universal Suffrage , Vote by Ballot , Annual Parliaments , Equal Electoral Districts , the Abolition of the Property Qualification , and Payment of Members , for their services . ( Loud cheers . ) Well , he , like others , was considered mad for advocating those principles true it was , there was then a difficulty in procuring an audience , but now there was standing room for principle only on the Six Points , and experience had shown that

      Eagland was the only place prepared for liberty . ( Hear , hear . ) He saw , with pleasure , the struggles for liberty in Italy , Austria , and Sicily ; that Spain had begun to think it an anomaly that only 99 , ( 300 out of her population had the elective franchise ; that Portugal was grumbling at tyranny ; that Prussia had obtained a constitution ; and that the French monarchy hung by the thread of an old wi 5 m " s ^ , ^ n * pantaloonT = { raughter and eheers , ^—in no other country than this could it be said it was the working classes alone that could be relied on to oave the nation , and they had been so well drilled that they never could be coerced again . ( Hear , hearJ ) Do not suppose that the Americans would ever have hired themselves to assassinate tbe Mexicans

      if they had posssessed their own sentry boxes on their own Land . ( Loud cheers . ) We ( the Chartists ) have now both a political and social wedge —( loud Cheers , )—and tbe beat description he could give of it was , that the spit was the Charter and the Land the leg of mutton to put on it . ( Loud laughter and great applause . ) Where was there a man to be found who had struggled harder to cement the union between the real Reformers of England and Ireland than he had done ?—a union based on true reciprocity and mutual interest —( loud cheers )—and whilst advocat . ing it he had been knocked down and attempted t- > be assassinated ; but , happily for his countrymen , they were josfc discovering that the same class-made

      laws that oppress England bear with greater force on Ireland . ( Great cheering . ) He , therefore , stood in the proud position not to ask forgiveness , bat to forgive . ( Hear , hear . ) Ireland had been coerced and had a savage special commission sent out , but no remedial measures had heen tried , and Lord John P . tiss-11 had tried to bakter himself up with a little bit of Jewish liberality , but no one could , at present , say what the New House of Commons was . It was a hackneyed phrase that' Labour was the source of all wealth , ' yet hackneyed as it was , It was still necessary that they ghould rehearee it over to themselves , until they thoroughly understood it , and applied its principles to practice . ( Loud

      cheers . ) We must either have a new paper roof , or we must pull down the old house and build a ' nother on its ruins , and he knew of no better basis than ' the source ef all wealth . ' A little more than two years ago he laid the foundation for a Free Labour field , and he would never cease his exertions until he had taught and made apparent its benefits to all . ( Great applause . ) Yet , he had been abused by tbe base , dirty , servile , hireling editors of the Pres ? , who did not possess one feeling or principle of their own . ( Great cheering . ) Our glorious Land Company had now nearly two thousand acres of land % large number of horses and other cattle , makinc manure to grow cabbages for tho working man . and

      although that vile tkief-cafching rag , the Dispatch , might revile him , it ahonld not arrest his progress . ( Lond cheers . ) Well , after all , this Land Company had the sum of £ 50 . 000 in its exchequer . ( Rapturous cheering . ) After the location of a few more , we shall have the balance of power in several divisions of several countie 3 . ( Cheers . ) He supposed they Koold have a discussion in ^ the house on National Defenees , and as he never said anything on the platform he was not prepared to say elsewhere , when the'DukeV nostrum was brought forward , he would not forget to show them the means of ereating a national militia , tfut . aays' G . O . G . ' in the Times of thU mornine , in answer to Mr Cobden .

      the Duke of Wellington don't want to raise the men all at once , but at the rate of ten theusand militia men per annum . ( Laughter . ) When Sidney Herbert proposed to embody the militia before , he ( Mr O'Connor ) got up a National Anti-Militia Association , and the bill was withdrawn . ( Applause . ) And were the militia embodied to-morrow , and he drawn , he would rather co to prison than serve . ( Tremendous cheering . ) If a militia was required , let those serve who had the vote , and depend on it tho knapBack would soon make their shoulders so sore , that they would rather grant Universal Suffrage than carry it any longer . ( Loud cheers . ) He thought it right that every nation should govern itself , and

      consequently we should have no intermeddling . ( L"ud cheers . ) Ha looked upon England as the most enlightened nation , for after all they had their public meetings and free discussions , which other nations sighed in vain for —( hear , hear )—true they had a pitched btatle in Lancaster , but since then there was no danger of being taken up for sedition . ( Hear , hear . ( The people of England were now prepared for ji higher orderof Uhaitist literature ; they weren prepared to hear and disouss what they were to do with the Charter when they got it ;—( loud cheers . )—

      and hence they would be in a better condition than any nation on the faco of the earth , m the event of a revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) He now repeated , forthe one-hundredth time , that he would not gire a pin for the Charter to-morrow , if the land was locked up from them —( cheera )—and now let him declare from this spot , that he wouid meet , single-handed ; all the editors of the calumniating press—and after a disoussion , he would pledge himself to obtain from the largest audience that could be had , a unanimous resolution , as follows : — 'Resolved , bat they are all fools . ' ( Loud laughter and

      great cheering . ) Now , an the' Thief catcher / tart paper which engaged men of the most profligate habits as its contributors ; in order to pander to the woret . pa 8 aton 8 of the people , had the insolence to ask what had become of the interest of the Land money , he ( Mr O CoDnor ) haviug silenced that pigmy battery , wtfuld now charm those interested with the solution ° f that problem . Nay . more , he would telliheraof tne prohts and the interest he had made upon the pence of tha . people . He mode a profit of £ 1 , 350 upon ons farm of 189 acres ; they had mido a profit of over £ 700 by the sale of their rules ; he had made a profit of nearly £ l ; 000 in tbe Land Purchase De-P « jrofot ; he had made a profit ot nearly £ i 000 of rubbish and materials not valued ; and te come

      directly to the question of ihe Thief-catcher ' be could that , day realise a profit « f £ 1 , 000 , over and ab ) ve the £ 4 . Us . 3 d . interest paid upon that atoolc . Now that was something ~ that was the sum of £ 8 , 000 realised out of nothing , and over and above the interest in rent paid upon the land purchased , and £ i Us . 3 d . interest upon Exchequer Bills . There was a £ 100 , 000 capital paid up , ' and the £ 8 , 000 made over interest was a clear bonus oi eight per cent , upon the whole paid up capital . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Now vrhat would'the sentimental ^ Thief-catcher' Bay to that ? Was not that a good eitnittion for a company to be in ? Was there such an instance on record ? ( ' No , no / and loud , cheers . ) The Company had no

      accidents—they had not lost a horse or anything else ' , and hence it would- appear that the great Giver of Life was looking dpwn . beRijgnantly on their xaaae . ( Greet-ii pnlauae . ) The opexatjena of thejr company ¦ broughttrade . to- ekipkeepsrs , thus—round the -eatatc ^ -wbereraen iadnofc taken one pouncrpsr . week previously , they were now taking nineteen ' - ' and twenty . Looking at the Land Plan , either as a question of health , comfort , or wealth , it was equally beautiful . ( Lond cheers . ) Then , good God , why should we mind what the base press said ? Look at the progress made in the science of agriculture ? Why the weavers Bent from the manufacturing dietricts to O'Copnorville and Lowbands , would not now turn thur backs on the best agriculturists .

      ( Cheers . ) Years ago the middle and upper classes made the speeches and you were the shouters , but now amongst the working clames are to be found the best orators ; well , agriculture waB much easier to learn than oratory , as nature had made men agriculturists , vrhile she had not created all men orators . ( Hear , hear . ) He had held a glorious meeting at Birmingham , consisting of 10 , 600 persons , and thus had she redeemed herself from that degradation to which her apathy and indifference had brought her . ( Hear . ) At the commencement of the Land Company he was told he could not buy land , but now be was inundated with letters from lords and noble lords , who wrote telling him that they would sooner he had their land than any one else , they so strongly

      approved of his Land Plan . ( Cheers . ) When he brought his Land Plan before the House , he thought there would be no one found to say one word against it ; if there was , he should ask how it was they cpnld pay men , live well , and save money afterwards , if a man could not obtaia a good living on it for himself , by aa improved mode of culture . ( G y reat applause ) The men at O'Connorville and Lowbands commenced work as soon as it was light , and left off when the ; could no longer see to labour ; that was the way to cultivate the national resources .
