THE WAK AGAINST UNJUST TAXATION AND GENERAL POVERTY . . The existence of the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association evidently causes considerable alarm and uneasiness at head-quarfcers . And yet it does not seem on the surface as if there were any reason for the extreme sensitiveness which is manifested by the ruling factions , through their organs . Since the metropolitan campaign of the Association closed for the season , there has been only one gathering of any magnitude in the provinces—that at Norwich last week . The leaders seem to be taking the matter coolly , but steadily . Can that be the reason why the " Times" ii so ready to snarl at them Whatever it may be owing to , there can be
no dispute as to the fact , that no Association of similar age and standing has been honoured with a similar amount of vituperative notice from the Iretons of the party Press . The Norwich meeting was made the text for an outpouring of the peculiar composition of Printing-house-square , in which unfounded assumptions lead to unsupported conclusions , and what is wanting in fact and logic is made up by impudent assertion , and a swaggering fluency of words , which , no doubt , passes muster with the unthinking and ignorant mob , who swallow their politics from the "Times , " together with their coffee androlh before going into " the city , " or " the shop , " in the morning . .
For the benefit of such " well to do people , " we may quote from Godwin ' s admirable Enquiry concerning Political Justice— There is , " says he , " no mistake more thoroughly to be deplored on this subject , than that of persons sitting at their ease , and surrounded with all the conveniences of life , who are apt to exclaim— ' We find things very well as they are , ' aud to inveigh bitterly against all projects of reform , as the romances of visionary men , and the declamations oi those who are
never to be satisfied . Is it well that so large a part of the community should be kept in abject penury—rendered stupid with ignorance , anddisgustful with vice—perpetuated in nakedness and hunger—goaded to the commission of crimes—and made victims to the merciless laws which the rich have instituted to oppress them ? Is it sedition to enquire whether this stato of things may not bo exchanged for a better ? Or can there be any thing more disgraceful to ourselves than to exclaim that , 1 All is well , ' merely because we are at our
ease , regardless of the misery , degradation , and vice that may be occasioned in others 1 " Mr , Hume may congratulate himself upon having at last got out of the good graces of the " Times , " because he wars against such a state of things . He has several times recently been commended in a way that must have given riBo to a suspicion in his own mind that ho was going wrong some wa y or other ; but thoracy and vigorous pelting with mud he has received for attending the Norwich meetng , must have equally convinced him that ho has regained the right path .
His great crime at that meeting appears to bo the assertion that tha labouring and rion -propertied classes pay . iafinitel y more than their fair share of taxatioa , and ' that there is more poverty in England than any country in Europe These , it seems , aro dangerous truths—not to be told to the people by such a veteran , public man as Joseph Hume ; Coming from Feargus O'Connor , or any Chartist loader , it would be of course easy to dispose of the statements summarily by the assertion , that "they were tho gross exaggerations of demagogues , who wishtosetthepeoplebytheears . " But Joseph
has been a " moderate" man during half a century . ^ , He has even said that he would vote black was white , in order to keep the Whigs iu office—believing that they would go slowly and safely to work in improving the constitution . For nearl y fifty years he has had an up-hill fight for economy in the public expenditure , and has made himself acquainted —at great personal expense—with every nook and cranny of our financial Bystem When , such a man comes fovwardi- after such opportunities and such experience-to expose and denounce in aucft unqualified terms , thewholeaale plunder of theindustrious classes aud . their consequent impovwialttnenWt Jn

A Bankrupt Government is in pre . cisely the same position . But , as Mr . Cobdes reminded the meeting , it is not the Leviathan capitalists , who are swindled out of then ?
money , it is the poor people ; who , having by care , and thrift , and industry , saved a few hundred or thousand pounds , seek what they consider a steady investment ; they buy the worthless stock with hard monev—the loan jobber gets a profit both ways . To ' this account of the pecuniary condition of the borrower Lord Dudley Stuart adds , as a settler , thafi the loan in itself is illegal—that the partiea advertising for it have no constitutional or regular authority to contract any debt , or guarantee any interest .
( Then with respect to Russia—that gigantic Colossus—whose rampant stride is to crush all other nations in the dust ; which menaces Turkey , and through it British-India , in one direction , and the li berties of ever y European nation on the Other ; which i 3 boasted of aa possessing immense and exhaustless treasures in its Ural mines—what are the facts ?

_ - re in Hungary , such a puissant and wealthy friend might have easily crowned its neighbourly offices by lending seven millions itself . Not so . Bussia will join in the bond to the extent of two millions only ! A pretty clear proof that it hae not even two . millions to spare , and that , in fact , it is pecuniarily little better off than its bankrupt ally .
Why do not the organs of absolutism grapple with these statements instead of abusing tho men who make them ? Are they so true—so susceptible of proof—that even their practised and unblushing hardihood of assertion shrinks from the task ? That is , however , the mere money aspect of the question . A higher , and infinitely more important one , is whether any individual in this conntry should aid governments which have been guilty of such atrocities as Austriabacked by Russia ? These twin cowards and bullies , having , by their united forces , crushed for the moment six millions of Magyars—having , by means of their sanguinary and
infamous tool Haynau d yed their hands deep in human gore—having shot prisoners in cold blood , and flogged women in public—now come and ask for money to pay for the doing of these deeds—perhaps to reward the treacher y of Georgey , whose defection ultimately allowed them to Bucceed—they ask for mone y to enable them to continue the body and soul
enthralling slavery established under their swray . They ask for money , that they may by its means extinguish every aspiration for constitutional freedom—trample on every principle of natural justice—and perpetuate tho slavery of the many , and the irresponsible power of the few Lord Dudley Stuart on these points eloquentl y said at the meeting on Monday : — s

THE MOBALITY OF USUBY . A grave question has arisen amongst ourselves put of the recent combination of Austria and Bussia against Hungarian Independence . Have the money-mongers a "right to do what they like with their owii ? " Are they to be controlled by no other consideration than individual profit , or are they to take into account also the moral effects that may arise from their dealings ? Singularly enough , this question has been raised by the apostle of Free Trade—by a man who has been more successful than any other
person m the promulgation of tho doctrine so pithily put by Mr . John Brooks—• " Lord love you , we are all for ourselves in this world ! " When Chartists and Socialists hinted , that buying in the cheapest , and selling in the dearest market , was not the alpha and omega either of political philosophy or national policy , they were turned out of the ticket meetings of the League by the police ; and its organs , after lecturing them upon their ignorance of Political Economy , accused them of being hired by . the Tories to obstruct the progress of a reform which would put everything and everybody in their proper places .
It seems , however , that Mr . Cokdek has discovered , that there aro occasions when the mere pecuniary does not include all the considerations affecting transactions between men and men , or between nations and nations . He appears now to be of opinion with us , that unregulated and uncontrolled individualism and selfishness is not the best er only motive power in the world . People with money to lend are bound , not only to look to the profit they can make by it , but also to the use that will be made of it by the borrower ; and if that be a bad oue , then , pvofit \ nwst go to the wall when placed , against the superior claims of public morality and well being .
_ In these days of Mammon worship—at a time when the heart of the nation seems to be devoured by a hunger for gold , which , oblivious of all other considerations , must bo satisfied , it is gratifying to see signs of reaction from such a quarter . We always expected that the settlement of the Corn Law question , and the application of the Free Trade theories to practice , would undeceive many as to the true bearing and spheve of operation of the principles advocated by the League ; but we did not anticipate finding its leader so soon preaching the doctrine of public surveillance over the use of private capital . **
The , meeting at the London Tavern on Monday last , for tho purpose of denouncing the Austrian loan , laid the foundation of a new public opinion on this subject . The originators of that meeting may not so intend it , but the initiative having been taken , it will not be in their power to prevent the extension of the principle to other questions than war loans . Either capitalists have a right to do
with their money whatever they like , and to get a profit out of it irrespective of the consequences which may flow from its . application , or they are bound , while looking for invest ments , to take care that the commonweal shall be at the same time subserved by them . We hold the last to be the true position : and that whatever could be sho wn to militate against the public well-being , should be vigorously proscribed , no matter how much it might tend to the enrichment of individuals . The organs of the' usurers and profitmongers see clearl y where this doctrine leads to , and hence they are almost frantic in tboir
assaults upon Mr . Cobden and those who act with him . As long as he gave the aid of his practical experience , great tact , and peculiarly telling style of eloquence , to the profitocracv alone , he was the greatest man of the age ' and even Sir B . Peel , in that memorable speech m which ho resigned power , at the moment his Free Trade policy was consummated , 1 laid his laurels gracefull y at the feet of him whoso " unadorned eloquence" had really won the victory . It is deeply mortifying to be deserted by a man upon whom the vocabulary of eulogium has been
exhausted . Hence the ridicule ,. abuse , affected contempt , ruffianly UiUingsgate , and laborious attempts at cool and collected re&on , that b etray the writev is boiling over with passion with which th « " 3 W > atid "Chronicle" have assailed their former idol . . To the former , in justice must be assigned the palm for real , coaTse , party , black guardism . In that department it has no parallel ; and when the very stronghold of the craft of its masters-the mraeymongerS- attacked , it may be suppojd that there is no lack of goodwill and vig our in its abuse . . 6
[ ^ Ono thing is observable , however ~ Mr Cobden s facts are not grapp led with . Amidst the wmrlwind of hard words-or the assumed loftiness of compassionate but superior wwdom , caused by ; Mr . Cobden ' s economic aberrations-we find no attempt to disprove ms . argument even on . the monM gcottUd ,. ; , ; . . ;

bo taken for granted , that it is not a mer © figure of speech . . -Tbs conviction that Mr . Hume only expressed a Bad an 4 v 4 P ^ ^ fact ) llas spread far and wide among allwhq have to toil for their subsistence in this country , and it is this which gives significance and fire to the new movement . The pale and over-worked clerk who has to keep up a " respectable appearance" out of 150 Z . a-year—from every pound of which the Government filches sevenpence , in the shape of a direct tax—suffers in his class as deeply as the pale and over-worked
avtraan who alternates between the full time and small wages of good times , and the halftime or no work of bad ones . The machinery of taxation is so constructed that it everywhere presses lightly upon those able to bear it , and falls heavily upon those with the smallest means . " Our Government takes more from the people , and does less for them than any Government in Europe , " was the remark of the venerable Bobebi . Owen to us , the day after his arrival from a six months visit' upon
the continent ; and , from all we have since been able to glean , the statement is fully borne out by the facts ^ ' ... / . How is this grinding , and intolerable fiscal tyranny , which drains away the life-blood of the country from its proper channels , to be put an end to ? How are those who produce the wealth of the country , either by the labour of the brain or by manual skill , to retain a fair proportion for their own use , and to choke off the hungry » warm of tax-eaters and : non-producers who fasten upon them like leeches ?
There ia but one way to begvn with . Make the People ' s House really the People ' s . Instead of tax-eaters , let the majority of its members be composed of tax-payers , or their representatives . Get rid of admirals , generals , majors , captains , and the whole fry of officials of all names and kinds , who under pretence of patriotism look after their own pockets . In short , let the Commons be truly represented in the Commons House , arid there will be at least a chance of the nation being honestly dealt by .
To attain this object it is only necessary that the middle classes , who constitute the great-bulk of the present electoral body , and the non-electors , the bulk of the industrious classes , should continue as cordially united as they now are . That is the real secret of the alarm to which we have alluded . If , by any means whatever , disunion and opposition could be created between Sir Josuiia
Waimsi-ey and his party , and Mr . F . O'Connor and the Chartists , it would be the signal for rejoicing among all who live by the present unjust aud infamous fiscal system . We are happy io . believe that such a severance between these two sections' of the great Beform Army is impossible , and , erelong , we hope to see the citadel defended by the two . ruling factions surrender to their united assault .
