REPRESENTATION AND POSITION OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE .: The annual farce of dropping the scene at tfho theatre of St . Stephen's will be repeated very shortly after our readers shall hare gorused this announcement . And as those readers , as well as the whole people of England , are daily gaining wisdom from
past experience , let us ask them—aot in a spirit of hostility or -with any factious feeling or party enmity—to point out one single particle of benefit that has been con ferred upon the nation by the farce , of . 1849 . Nay , we may go further , . and show its difference from all other sessions , by the fact that no benefit has- been conferred even upon a class .
Heretofore , the power of the IN-pavty consisted in their ability and readiness to confer exclusive advantages upon those -who supported them , at the expense of those who opposedthem , but more especially at the expense of those who had no power to oppose , or even to express their dissent—the PE 0 PLE . The conclusion which , we wish to draw from this undeniable fact is , that the cry for economy has to a certain extent prohibited tho augmentation of patronage ; and the Exchequer must , henceforth , be measured by the standard of" Let well alone and we will do anything ; but do not reduce our salaries , diminish the pageantry of royalty , or weaken our forces . "
Perhaps some of our readers have read Knickekbocker ' s amusing story of a prince who found his kingdom continually convulsed by the enactment of new laws , generally introduced by lawyers , and to which the feelings of his subjects were repugnant . In order to arrest this process of W-tiukering , he made a lair which enacted , that every legislator who proposed a new law should do so with a rope round his neck , and in case of . failure he was to be suspended ; the consequence of this wise enactment was , that all speculating legislators and quibbling lawyers were silent and satisfied with laws as they were ; not a new law was made for 200 years , and the kingdom remained in a state of profound peace .
Now , if the position of the working classes , who are the veritable producers of the wholo wealth of the country—who recruit our armies and man our war vessels—is not to be improved by any legislative measure because they are not represented in the House of Commons ; " and if legislation is to be but for the benefit of those in power , or , when opportunity offers , for the class who support them , we would seriously recommend the adoption of the same principle by the British Parliament , and then England , too , may rid herself of petulant legislators and quibbling lawyers .
" However , apart from this consideration , let us now analyse the power of parties—not only in the House of Commons , but out of the House of Commons—as regards the interests of the working classes : for representatives they have no votes , while even the boldest Minister admits the justice , nay , the necessity , of yielding to the united pressure from without . But let us now show the utter impossibility of bringing this pressure to bear upon ministerial action . The several parties in the House arc linked and leagued together by their own respective interests , but the public pressure—the right of which is acknowledged—can neither be organised or unitedly directed , and for this
simple reason : because employment nay existence itself—depends upon subserviency to the will of the leaders of those parliamentary factions . If a working man is known to have been an enrolled Chastist—if he is known to have taken a prominent part at public meetings , or for the reduction of the period of labour to ten hours a day—or even to have become a shareholder in the Land Company—he is not only dismissed b ' y his employer , but ho is secretly branded in his walking ticket ; so that although he may be represented as a faithful servant , and industrious workman , yet the conspirators' private mark stamps him as a political enemy ..
Under these circumstances' then , when the comfort of a poor man ' s family , the little domestic pleasure of his home—humble as" it may be—and the cheering company of his little prattling children , may depend upon his subserviency to a tyrant master , is it wonderful we would ask , that a great difficulty should exist in marshalling this pressure from without , and bringing it to bear upon the uniust pressure from within ?

age . _ , _„„ the present position of England without combg to the conclusion , that the privileged few are daily devouring the unrepresented many ? It was an easy task to preserve this balance of power so long as Ministers could feed class upon class , but now that the HAPPY FAMILY has become so numerous , that it requires the whole Exchequer as its patrimony , those classes who can no longer participate in the BEGGARS' DISH will , from despair , and not from principle , jom the wo-ars . in the hope of securing more from
untaxed labour than they can from Ministerial patronage . It is really very amusing to find Sir Cobden and his party , the advocates ot peace both abroad and at home , justifying English interference in the Hungarian struggle'for liberty , while they have been the most consistent opponents of English freedom . If the English were as much oppressed as the Hungarians , and if they were as well prepared to exercise their legitimate rights , and if those rights were withheld from the united popular will by brute force , would Mr . COBDEN , and his Peace Preservation Friends , justify the physical attack of the unpaid and willing re emit upon the paid mercenary ? If not , how can Mr . Cobden and his party justify English
interference in the Hungarian struggle * is it to cater for popularity ? or is it in the hope that , in case of such intervention , the monied and manufacturing classes at home would become the Minister ' s strongest and onl y support ? and , therefore , the recipients of patronage . . „ We justify English interference m the Hungarian struggle for freedom upon higher principles ; we justify it upon the fact that the Hungarians are struggling fcr a Constitution which was promised to them , but which was traitorously withheld ; and upon the fact that as , ere long , Europe will become , if not one
great and undivided nation , yet possessing in every country free institutions ; and , therefore , tho paid soldiers of every nation in Europe should be employed in resisting a des-! otism which , if not speedily overthrown , will ' 1 , ' ally—and that ere long—result as NapolZ in predicted , in one great European Repub-\{ J' -as Cossack it never can be . 7 the House of Commons is particularly ^| i 1 to precedent , let us remind the Peace £ * :. vation Gentlemen of the striking fact , rre . that Sir Charles Wood , the

Nay , if the armies of England and Russia were denuded and left naked , as if by magic , and if it required English machinery—the ^ machinery belonging to the Peace Preservation Society —^ to manufacture regimental clothing for

Self-interest is the basis of human action . An individual Socialist will say : "I will divide my property with the poor , if all others will do likewise ; " and the English broker , the English gunraaker , and the English manufacturer would say : " I would refuse the despot ' s order if all others did likewise ; but as others will be sure to do it , I may as well have share' '

It is very melancholy , that while such a feeling , and such a just feeling , is expressed for the Romans and the Hungarians , that there is not a word of sympathy for the starved Irish people . No doubt our Christian philanthropists , whose arms are the Bible and the Sword quartered , and who recogniso the Christian and holy union of .

The rich portions of Ireland have been divided between William's Flanders men and Ckomwell's invading troopers , while the real Irish , domiciled , or rather aggregated in the poorer provinces , have become a prey to those privileged plunderers , while we hear not a word of sympathy beyond Coercion Bills for ihis famishing race .

THE LAND PLAN v . THE PEOPLE . TO FEARGUS o ' CONNOR , ESQ . , M . P . Respected Sib , —It appears to me self-evident , if the Land Plan is not to be actively and energetically carried out by those having a direct interest in its success—the shareholders—it will soon be numbered among the things that were . The shareholders' disregard to their own interests will compel the Directory to wind up the Gompany , not according to their own calm judgment of what is best , but even without allowing them to exercise any judgment hi the matter , for without money it is impossible to purchase land , and without land no member can be located ; and , in a-word , without tho
Company , as a body , do their duty , pay up their shai'GS , and put it in-the . power of the Directors to do theirs , the progress of the whole concern must come to a dead stop until such time as reproduction set the movement once more in motion , and that , at the best , can only bo at a snail ' s pace . Now , Sir , my conviction is , that the hitherto futile attempts to get the Company registered , have been the means of paralysing the shareholders ; they know nothing about what they wore doing , neither do they know at present whether it bo possible ever to get the Company within the pale of Whig law .
i , Sir , as Whigs , and Tories also , may have a sincere veneration , for their own laws , —laws , which have proved , so useful to their own orders and so very dangerous to all other orders , at a time too when the people imagine they could , make much better laws themselves , why are they in this j n stance untrue to themselves ? Let them prove by jJL ' . eu- confidence in themselves , and in you , that th , ' y SJ ? '" spense with "Whig and Tory laws , ay , ana mi l an ( i Tories too ; unless they prove by fiei v con « rucfc that they can dispense with both , then w& not calmly bear the infliction ? m \ Sir '~ L . ould sa ? at onee > Ia 7 aside all ttiougl lts ™ W 1 "S registration , for , before they allow °° succeed > th ° y will do their utmost to
* , u , run * bo & you and company with expenses , and then tin . n nd ? P ° n u and accuse you of deluding yo \ ' n' du P es to mn though I hope , by this timeJtnff S roatei ; pavt-aee dearly enough who is anxious . fco > " ruin them . Leave registration then to the fivsf & artlst , ™ ament , and , perhaps , they will grant an l ? instea f . Ask nothing from the present encwi ^ erers of office , the nation ' s dead weight ,- do . noi ' S" ' them an opportunity to do mischief , because , they arc incapable of doing good . Leave them , to > i ' 'emselves , and show them that selfconfidence is-tem thousand times stronger than call their laws . Sba . K no TOug protection , and thn
people will seelt ; no Protection but your honesty ; re-open the Cbum : ln i y amiw » for * admission of new members ,.. ani 3 ); all 0 ^ v' a" e dissatisfied to sell out as they best . caiB , , but lefc thch ? sale be through the Divcetovs , so . tHa t . nGW membevs may have an opportunity of purctia . smf . tnoir shares . Establish the ballot as foi-mei-lv ,. taking bonuses from all -who have money to spare ^ w : lf ? the Pnce of shares from £ 1 6 s . to £ 2 , and raia * tJl , ° location numey f rom £ 7 10 s . to £ 10 a share ja ^ . as agreat many people are beginning to see- thai *? Y cannot manage so much land as they at first imagined , reduce their number of shares , but wb bel ° w two ; and those I who' think they have not « t ™ uSn increase them
to eight : and all paid-up m en ™ ers to pay threepence per share quarterly (\ Ov . er and above the Expense Fund ); whether loeafe ' < " ¦ ' not , until tho whole arelocated ; leave th&Conapi . m 7 ope n until such time as it is fully and entirely p . 'ged of all malcontents , or until such time as the Company thinks proper toelose . Also make it imperative on all shareholders to pay at least- - three . half pence p er share , weekly , until the whole be paid . up . Let mutual confidence henceforth b&' the Company s motto , and Tve shall see how long the-Whi gs will protect themselves on the Treasury benches I when opposed to the united will of a whole ' people strong in union , and confident in that strength . I have seen it hinted , to merge the Land Plan into Mv . O'Connor ' s New Plan ; this is far from ^ E ^^ 'y to Mr . O'Connor ' s long and arduous which the Land
struggle Plan has already cost him neither is this newmovo calculated like the Land 1 Ian to benefit the poorest of the poor : the New i'lan has a mission to perform , and I trust its effects will be politicall y as well as socially felt . Mr O Connor 8 plan is well calculated to secure the county representation , and I trust he will be powerfully supported . Mr . Skevington ' splan is also well calculateti to secure the representation of tho large cities , boroughs , and towns . With such weapons u . the people ' s power , I do hope that before there is another general election ( # it comes not before SJOUtof July , 1830 the peopfc wfll go £ prepared to meet .

S-lhaSstseenthe ^ v and oteerye the ouarterly meeting of the Aberdeen branch of tha Land Company , tlie branch to which I belong . It appears the local Directors and members are yet to learn the practicability of a plan they have been , managing and supporting for the last three years , — they say it has beoomeimpracticable , butaonot give any reason , knowing as they must do that the fault lies in themselves . They censure the whole body of Directors , as acting a dishonourable part , because they are pleased to countenance another plan , which it would appear tho Abcrdc * nims must consider as an opposition shop , forget-. - _ , ...,, ; :: every one send ms own pe »» , g j
tin" it would appear , either through selfishness or ignorance , that tne Land Plan was established for the noble purpose of assisting to promote the emancipation of industry , by proving the value of free labour by applying it to land , over the value of competition slave labour , and as a means to withdraw some part of the surplus hands from the competition slave mart . This , I believe , was the intention of the propounder of the plan , and tho Directors took office to carry out that intention . They havo invested the money , of the Company in houses and land , ( as far as I know , ) in accordance with the rules , and can have no further settlement to make ; they , have done their duty and fulfilled their
intentions as far as the shareholders have permitted them . It is , then , the shareholders who have failed in doing their part of the duty . It is their duty to make an honourable settlement of all arrears , and enivble the Directors to do their duty , to locate the members in accordance with their original plan . Meanwhile , I consider the Directors fully justified in accepting the assistance of those parties who approve of the orig inal intentions of the propounder , to carry out those intentions . The shareholders had the Company closed at the end of 1817 , to please what appeared to me a very selfish policy ; now they are become like the dog in tho manger—they will nofc accept of the benefits themselvesneither will they
, allow others to do so who are willing : in a word , they wish to control servants whom they have no wish to pay , as the ' whole receipts of the Company would , I fear , fall far short of the directors salaries —at least , for some time past . So much for Aberdeen in particular , and the grumblers generally . Still it is gratifying to see tho reports from the localities generally ; there seems to be a ' settled conviction that something must be done , most are convinced the price of shares is not in proportion to the benefits received . There is no remedy for this but to increase the pvice of shares ( and nothing can be more fair ) , and to put it in the power of those
who are unwilling to pay more to reduce the number of their shares , as well as those who consider they have too many ; and others , supposing they have too little , to be allowed to increase them ; the Company to be opened , to allow the dissatisfied to retire , and sound men to replace them ; and , above all , to return to the good old plan , the Ballot , and the Land and Labour Bank , and substitute mutual confidence for government protection , and I have no fears for the result . I trust the Conference will take up the subject energetically , and make their decision bind * ing ' on all , and that you , sir , -will not think of retiring . Even the dissatisfied cannot do without you —there is none else can take your place—A . C .

TO THE- DELEGATES ABOUT TO ASSEMBLE IN CONFERENCE AT SNIG'S END . Gentlemen , —You are about to assemblo on very important business ; on your decision will rest the solution of a most important question ; one . on which the future well-doing of the working classes mainly depends . To a great extent , you are about ; to decide tho morality of the Future . Pause and reflect , then , on the sacredness of the trust reposed in you . To assist you in your reflections and deliberations , I-respectfully and submissively offer a few remarks .
I assume that the object for which the Land Plan , was instituted was of a two-fold character—the attainment of political power for tbo working classes , and the amelioration of their social condition . "Without attempting the solution of the question , whether the possession of political power should precede social improvement , or this be used as the leverage to that , it suffices for our argument , that the Land Plan tends to the accomplishment of the two-fold results , Its tendency to this end is not the less because its founder is calumniated , his project derided and misrepresented , and its supporters vilified and persecuted . Comparisons from memory or from history would be equally
superfluous . If , then , this position is , as I take it , incontrovertible , how important , how urgently necessary is it , that you maturely consider every question bearing upon this interesting subject . Yes , gentlemen ; on the -wise determination of yo \ ir counsels in the forthcoming Conference will depend the success or failure of one of the most interesting experiments the working classes were ever engaged m , Tho holy object of-that experiment is , to decide whether man ' s labour , employed by himself , can be made profitable for himself , without the intervention of tlie master ' s control and capital . Will you aid in realising the affirmation of this question ? Then , by some legal instruments , secure to vour allocated
brethren the fruits of their industry , even though you should thereby place in abeyance tho apparently distinct , but immediate and temporary interest of the great body of subscribers . But , say you , the located members are dissatisfied , idle , and improvident , and do not merit our considoratoness . Be not too hasty , gentlemen , to condemn tho allottees on the evidence of persons' envious of their position , or inimical to the cause you have at heart . Nay , more , I implore you not to condemn the allot * tees , even on the evidence furnished in their complaints of , and impatience under , tho difficulties resulting from a new mode of life . For , if you place others in the same position , surrounded bv the same
circumstances , the same consequences must naturally follow . But not merely'for them . 'do I plead . On behalf of the princi ple involved , for the sake of the experimental question at stake , I exhort you to give confidence to the hopes , and security to the industry , of your allocated brothers . Do ' this , at any cost , should circumstances determine you to sell tho Estates . For , mark ! piircliasers of the properties will not be found among men who are looking for the investment of capital , butamongsfc those who will be too happy to buy in order to break up the Land Plan , and thereby blast the hopes and blight the prospects of the working classes . But should the result of your deliberations be , that it is unnecessary to dispose of the Estates , still I would ur ge upon rou nofi to retire from youv duties until have
you secured to the allottees , under equitable arrangements , a legal claim upon their holdings Hitherto I have avoided details , but one or two pai-1 ticularsmy , I think , be urged , to demonstrate now much ot even th&pmentinteresb of the subscribers would bo promoted by the adoption of such a course . If the allottees had leases , or some other legal security , the obstacles to the selling of the light ol location would boj .-em . oved , and a considerable source of income be thereby opened : a better chance given for the successful trying of the Plan by the admission of men whose tastes and means may have led them to adopt an agricultural life thosf , ^ r ' lUai l aff 0 ^ ^ tK £ ™ K of S lw ' ? 1 hose habits aro avorBotoarural life whose industry may not be adequate to raise then-, ncans to their wants , or whose hopes tf tho future may not be of that buoyant character t < : inme C hm * ** ** W S 3 Vtt $ r
