THE FACTIONS AND THE PEOPLE . As the time for the assembling of Parliament draws nearer , the rival factions become move active . Protectionists aud Free Traders meet each other with demonstrations and coun ter-demonstrations of a defiant character At the meetings of the landlords , doleful tales of rum are told , and still more sloomv twos poets unfolded . At the meetings of the commercial and manufacturing interest , all is painted couleur de rose . A little move " free c on ^ titiou , " a iarge slice outofrent , and another out of taxation and the country will bo just as it ought to be . Onl y let M anchestor rule us , and a veritable Free Trade mil . Ionium will come , far . superior to the Elysium depicted by Protectionist oratory . Wo say a plague on both their houses !" U matters httlo indeed to the labouring class who is triumphant in this faction fierht Pro ' tectioii has been triedwhat has it done for
, he English peasant ? There is not a slave in the world so wretchedly housed , clad , fed , and educated ; the landlords everywhere grudee them the use of even the small bit of ground necessary for tho meatiest hovel , and , in many caaoa , Buffer those that have been erected , to tall into utter rum , happy to have got rid of a nest for breeding , what they consider the worst vermin upon their estates . It mav suit tho landlords a nd their organs , to affect
common cause with tho labour interest , at the present moment , but there is not the slightest genuine union between them . The ploughman , shepherd , and carter , are in tho eyes of squires and farmers , as so much raw material to be worked up into profit , as the spinner piecer , or weaver , by the factory lord . It U the doom of the wages-enslaved toiler , to bo plundered by profit-mougers , usurers , and idlers , _ The quarrels amongst thermal ™ . "

hWthe ' robbery is effected . But one great fact is patent , that the producers of alhvealth are , in all cases , tho poorest members fof the community . Upon them , also , first falls the mischief oi ' any Legislative alterations , if they are mischievous . The farmers and landlords never dreamt of raising wages when prices were high , and rents good ; they are ready moment
enough to cut thent down the that prices decline , and a possible reduction of rentrolls appears in the distance . The labourer is the last to share in prosperity-the first to to feel the pressure of adversity . He is a sponge , to be squeezed dry as often as may be practicable and convenient , by those who live upon Ms industry—a syphon through which wealth may flow to others , but retain none
itself . This is truly the case with all labourers , whether rural or urban—manual or mentalwho are paid by wages . The Free Tadersbefore they secured the triump h of their policy —drew glowing pictures of the " Happy England " that was to ensue . They still affect to believe that it will come some time or other , and are fertile in suggesting reasons-why it has not come already . We are requested very earnestly , "to wait a little longer" for the " good time , '' that they assure us really is
" coming . " But no subterfuges , no excuses can get rid of the fact , that the specific resulti they predicted from the passing of a specific measure , have not been secured . Explain it , palliate it as they may , Free Trade has not given the people " High wages aHd plenty to do , " It has not converted us into a thriving , prosperous , busy , and comfortable people . The complaints of the agricultural districts are reechoed by complaints from the manufacturing . The sapient " Shallows" who assumed tho task of doctoring the body-politic , and whose assurance was at least equal to their
ignorance , now inform us that all that is necessary to a complete cure , are certain small reductions in taxation , and improvements in administration . They are either ignorant or dishonest . They are as far from touching the real cause of the present abject state of tho producers as ever they were : and the suggestion of wholesale Emigration , as the immediate remedy for destitution and want of employment , which Free Trade has failed to relieve , is the most forcible proof of the hollo wncss of their professions , and the really nefarious motives by which they are actuated .
There are hundreds of causes in operation to grind down the remuneration of the labourer to the lowest possible fraction , and to throw tens of thousands out of employment almost within an hour ' s notice , which no possible amount of emigration could ever cope with . They assume that we experience so much misery and want , merely because there is what they call a redundant population . That is not true , even if we admit , for argument sake , that there are really too many of us . The misery and destitution of the masses
are produced by agencies inherent in the system itself ; and if next year , we could reduce the population one fourth , or from 28 , 000 , 000 to 21 , 000 , 000 , thero would then be as largely overstocked a labour market in proportion to the then population , as there is now . If our money laws were continued , by which production is at one time unduly stimulated , and at another unduly contracted , as suits the interests of the crotchets of the money-lords—if new machines to do the work that formerly
required the labour of thousands of adult skilled artizans , continue to be brought into action , aud to supersede the manual labourer —if large masses of ttve people are divorced from the soil , and made helplessly dependent on the demand in distant and foreign markets , over the changes and fluctuations of which they have no control — if an unbridled selfishness continues to actuate our capitalists , and a reckless competition be carried on , heedless of all results save one—an immediate profitif all these causes of social evil remain
untouched , no amount of emigration , no mere paltering with the skin-deep blotches of the system will be of the slightest avail . Neither Protectionists nor Free Traders , as such are able or willing to put an end to these fruitful sources of misery and demoralization . Their only object is to make the existing machine work as smoothl y as possible for themselves . They have entered into a struggle to determine whether the commercial or the territorial interests shall predominate—but th contest , end how it may , involves in both cases the same result—the subjugation and plunder of labour .
We desire to propound no impossible or "Utopian schemes of social reform . Nor would Ave , were the Charter the law of the land tomorrow , dream of forcing upon any of our fellow-citizens a mode of association for producing and distributing wealth to which they were conscientiously opposed . But what we do hold , is , that the , great and indispensable preliminary to all wholesome change , is the political enfranchisement of the whole people . Until that is gained there is no guarantee , either for the permanence or the reality of any
improvement in the condition of the working classes . With a Legislature really representing the People , and an Administration really responsible to it , tho foundation for a truly national reformation would be laid . It would then be easy—in peace , and without confusion —to provide new channels , into which the labour , skill , and capital of tho country could be beneficiall y directed—tho noblo discoveries of Modern Art could as easily be made as subservient to the general wealth , prosperity , aud contentment , as , under
the guidance of i gnoraut selfishness , they have hitherto produced tuo very reverse . Nor shall we bo answered by those Vho point to France and other sham republics , as a proof that extensive political chauges do not brin * with Su " 1 ^ 011 ^ ' 0 and beueficial socinl reforms Ihe French people have been cheated out of the fruits of their last Involution b y a baud of scheming political adventurers and swindlers -we believe only for a time . In the interim the true Reformers , and the people at largo are undergoing a probationary tuition in the art of exercising political powerwhich cannot
, but be ultimatel y highly useful . im _ portant to them . In this country , these constitutional weapons are more familiartho people , by means of municipal , local ! parochial , and county institutions — and the frequency of public meetings , have mastered the power of managing their own ailairs , and they have a strong and unshaken faith m the power of argument and constitutional organization .

THE ORANGE CONSPIRACY ! A second , and concluding part of the Report of the Orange Grand Lodge , has made its appearance . It is as lengthy , as verbose , and as ill-constructed as its predecessor , and what is a still greater fault , it has no newfacts by vhich its prosiness might be extenuated and counterbalanced . The six newspaper columns of which it consists , are , in fact , made up of a criticism upon -Mr . Berwick ' s report to the Lokd-Lieutenant on the Dolly'a Brao tragedy . Of course tho Orangemen la-) our hard to clear themselves from the un «
equivocal condemnation pronounced upon them by the Government Commissioner—wg think most unsuccessfully . They cannot deny the facts , whatever gloss they may put upon , them ; there is no doubt that they did slay their fellow-creatures without occasion , and that they went armed to the coutested pass for that purpose . The magistrates who gave them meat and drink before the fatal
encounterwho led them , and personally encouraged the fight , afterwards sat on the bench , and infamously conspired to obstruct the cause of justice , by deciding that no inquiry should ba made into the outrage and murders they had combined to perpetrate . No testimony as to character or intentions which Lord Enniskillen , or tho Grand Lodge can bring forward , will avail in the face of such facts as these . It is indeed possible , that the Orangemen may believe themselves to be as humane , as religious , as loyal as they say they are . It
is possible that they may imagine this as a real , not a fancy portrait;—" An Orangemen should have a sincere love and veneration for his Almighty Maker , a firm and steadfast faith in the Saviour of the world , convinced that he is the only mediator between a sinful creature and an offended Creator . lie should cultivate truth and justice , brotherly kindness and charity , devotion and piety , concord and unity , loyalty and obedience to the laws . His disposition should be gentle and compassionate , his behaviour kind and courteous—he should love the society of
ie good , and avoid the company of the evil—ho should honour and diligently read the holy Scriptures , and make them the rule of his faith and practice—he should love , uphold , and defend the Protestant religion , and sincerely desire and endeavour to propagate its doctrines and precepts—ho should strenuously oppose and , protest against the errors and dangerous doctrines of the Church of Romehe should , by all lawful means , resist the ascendancy of that church , its encroachments , and tho extension of its power—but he should abstain from
all uncharitable words ,-actions , or feelings towards his Roman Catholic brethren—he should remember to keep holy the Sabbath day , and attend the public worshi p oi God—he should never take the . name of God in Vain , but abstain from all cursing , swearing , and profane language , and use all opportunities of discouraging those shameful practices in others- * his conduct should be marked by 'Wisdom and prudence , honesty , temperance , and sobriety . The glory of God and love of man , tho honour of his Soverei gn , and the good of his country , should be the motives of his exertions . "
According to -Lordr Enniskillkn , theso are the qualifications of all . Orangemen . The power of self-delusion is certainly very great . History has many memorable examples of the fact , but certainly this is the most extraordinary we remember ; 'it is quite evident , that these people " know not what manner of spirit they are of , " they put evil for good , and darkness for light . Their instincts have been artificially and continuously perverted , so that they are now unable to discern between right and wrong ; upon their own crotchets they are helplessly and hopelessly insane , and must in .
future be deprived of all weapons , and , if need be , of such personal privileges as would render them dangerous to society , We cannot afford to let mad people go about armed with muskets , pistols , and swords , ready to shoot and slay their fellow , citizens for the glory of God , and under the delusive impression that they are thereby at the same time enacting the part of good citizens . Orangemen must be" content to come down from such transcendental piety and loyalty , to the level of other people , and obey the laws which are passed tor the , government of all .
