BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC TILLS . Tlie acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS , by the continued series of testimonials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years , has rendered this medicine the most popnlar of the present age ; and in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter , written by' John Molard Wheeler , Esq ., Collector of Customs , Jamaica , having been handed by his brother , at Swindon . to Jlr . Prout for publication will fully confirm : . : -. ¦; / ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦; ¦'¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' "I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills , but let me emphatically tell you hi mercy to any friend whomay suffer from gout , rheumaticgout , lumbago , sciatica , rheumatism , or any branch of that widely-allied family , t » recommend their using them . In this country they are of wonderful efficacy ; not ori ' y am I personally aware of their powers , but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from then * use . I would not be -without them on account . If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether : if in a later , they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within irij knowledge . "

''PARLIAMENTARYREFORM ; ; ' . j : A Sunday paper which has recently shown itself anxious to establish a character for priority of information , especially with respect to Ministerial movements and intentions , ' in ^ , formed its readers that it is the intention of the Government to propose " a large extension of the ^ Suffrage , early in the ensuing : Session . " The Times copied the paragraph on
Mondaythus giyiug it a semi-official sanction—and on Tuesday had a leader , in which it '' treated the rumour as a fact . . Not being in' the secret ourselves , we can- only guess at the amount of credence to be given to the rumour . ¦ 'W e firmly believe , that if Ministers were left ; to theinsolyes , it wbuld turn out to be wholly unfounded , " and that not the ' slightest ; alteration of our representative ; institutions , would be proposed by them . : - ¦ - ¦ '
But they are not to Vo left so . ' The great C ity meeting on Monday , ' of the National Reform ^ Association , was an auspicious and vigorous commencement : of ' tho campaign , chalked out for this year , ; aid cannot fail to produce a strong impression in official circles . The report may , therefore , turn out not to be untrue , but merely anticipatory ., ' . Every , one knows how " squeezeable" the Whigs-arc , arid with what tenacity theycling to office . Perhaps they will prefer to keep theiv places , and give way to the popular demand , rather
than resist it , and be turned out with the disgrace of having opposed an extension of constitutional ^ rights to the people . They must know—if they know anything at all- ^ r are able to look beyond the mere occurrences of the hour , that to be driven from office upon such a question , would constitute a ground for their permanent future : exclusion from power ; and , it is not improbable , therefore , that finding it impossible to stem the current , they will attempt to divert it into channels more safe and easily guided for party purposes , than those it now runs m . ; .
This appears'to us one of the . great rocks a-head of the National , Association . / Of its ultimate— -and , not distant—success , we think there can be ho doubt , if , it consistently ahd . vigorously carries out the policy it has laid down . But the danger is , that the ruling : factions , seeing the certainty of this termination to its labours , may coalesce !; for the time being , to offer , a delusive . anol deceptivo nieasuro of Representative Reform , which , while ; , it " keeps the word of promise to the ear , will break it to the hope ! " They may calculate on thereby taking the wind out ofthe sails . of the Association . They may ^ seduce the , more "moderate " and ¦ faint-hearted of its friends' and
supporters , whopossess . thegreatest amount of wealth and influenco ; and having thus thinned the ranks and diminished the power , of the Association , may induce it to lend its sanction to a specious sham . - ' 7 ' ' ' . ' : ^ -l-. . ;; If any such Ma ' chiavelian policy is attempted by the Government we shallbo on the \ vatch to proclaim it- ^ -to warn the Association of the trap ; that is laid for it ,. and to prevent , ' ' as finis Jour power extends , ; either ' it , or' . the people from falling . into tho snare .: We shall look
with very . great suspicion indeed upon any pro pWal emanating from Lord' John Russell ' s Administration . ! , Mr . SAMuit ; MontEy—an eminent and wealthy , city ; berchant ; Svho moved the . first resolution at the-: LpndpnlTavern , on r Monday—felicitously and ; most forcibly describGd the ' ¦ aristocratic tendencies and reactionary ' character of the present Premier . WheiiiByer , the interests of his own ' . order appear , rto . himtp clash' with ¦ those of . the people , the latter will be certain to be sacrificed . ' He
has no large or ; hearty sympathy with the masses , nor has ¦ his ; party ' over had since its cominencement , ' It , is / essentially aristocratic and exclusive ; aud ; whenever it has advocated popular rights , -has done so merel y for personal and party purposes . :: Ithas traded in them ; as " . political ; .

It would only be doing on that question , what he hasalready done on many other important matters , to which , at earlier stages of his career , he was still mbreopposedi . ' ' ; ,
'¦ -Bethis , however , as itmay whether & . real and extensive change in our represeritative institutions may be carried by Russell or Peel , or a cbUtion'Ministvy , or by a spick and span new ^ ^ party . ' as ^ unheard pf ~ -it is written on the book of Fate , that carried it must be—and that at no distant date . ; Nothing could be more cheering than the whole of the proceedings ; of Monday . Here and there exceptions might be taken to parts bf ' speeches , arid to the tone and manner of particular speakers as a whole ; but , taken altogether , - we do not remember any recent
hieetirig which was more strongly stamped by all those' marks which herald sucedss in this cduritry .- The sober ^ measured , determined , and business-like manner in which the arrangements were riiade and carried out- ^ -the wealth bf ' sbmo 6 t ' tWipmTler ^ % nd th . e wide- spread influence ' of others in various classes , showed tact and generalship in the selection . * Last , but riot least , the ' announcement that nearly one-sixth of the ten . thousand pounds asked fpr ; the year ' s campaign , was subscribed at the
first meeting for the year , was sufficient to inspire the leaders with . the utmost confidence . Manchester , Liverpool , Leeds , Birmingham , Glasgow ^ Edinburgh , ' and the other large towns of the kingdom , have ' yet to be appealed to ; and if they respond as nobly as the city of London , with its l , 50 d / ., ; on-Monday , the Council . will be enabled to ? set pn . fpot an agitation before which all the power and all the tricks of an obstructive aristocracy , and a reactionary Ministry , will sink into
insignificance . ! ¦ - , . ¦ ¦ Not the least gratifyinjg feature of the meeting , was the continued , accord between the middle class suffragists and the supporters of the | Charter . ' . Apart altogether , from the rapid ripening ! of the question ' for legislative settlement , which that union is ' certain to promote , there are higher and moreiperriianent benefits to be derived from this commingling of different , and heretofore , estranged classes . The
widegulph which has hitherto separated them from each other , has , no doubt , been the cause of ; nVany \ ni ' utual mistakes" as to each others characters , motives * and sentiments . By meeting more frequently together , and explaining these in a candid arid ;¦ self-respecting spirit , many misapprehensions will be removed ; and though , they may not agreo in all the opinions respectively entertained on' either side , they will learn to respect-awhile honestly differing from—each other . :
If the suffrage were , placed to morrow upon the extended and just basis we , demand , such a mutual understanding ' and appreciation of the character , and habits of the classes who produce and distribute the wealth of the coriimunity , would be iridispensable to quiet , orderly , arid effective good government . Strife and contention between the various classes of which society is composed , would neutralize to a great degree , the benefits to he derived from the most democratic institutions . It is most
important that a mutual understanding and agreement should pervade all classes . The business of life would be then better , and more harmoniously conducted , and the political machine , relieved from jarring elements , would thereby be / rendered more powerful for the public benefit arid prosperity . ¦' ¦ ' . . On the other hand , . tlieobstinateprejudices , the causeless and irrational antipathies , which are nurtured by isolation and imperfect information in the first instance , and aro only inflamed and increased by . each class nursing them as a pai't of their being , and refusing to hold that communion -which can alone dispel the errors under which they labour .
Mr . O'Connor cannot confer a greater benefit on the middle and the labouring classes than by forming a link between both , in which they can repose confidence . The one reap the immense advautage of securing the co-opemtion of the working millions , while the other aro assured that ; their co-operation shall not be turned to . mischievous or delusive purposes ^ but honestly and faithfully applied to the full extent the ' Association proposes to ^^ go .

PROTECTIONISTS , FREE TRADERS , AND THE . WORKING : CLASSES .
. ' The Protectionists are b y no mean so satisfied as to the irrevocable haturo of the law of 1846 , as Sir RbBEBT Peel and Mr . Cobdex . They thinkthat what Parliament has done Parliament ' , can' undo , and hence they are working very hard , in town and country , for the purpose' of getting up addresses to the Queen , praying . her to . ; dissolve ^ Parliament , j ' . in order to decide the ; question : by an appeal to the electoral body , after they have had some experience as to the actual effects of Free Trade . ¦

their places jVdr Sir | I ^ MRtiPEiEL intioduce those gradual and underininirig measures which ultimately : brpugKf > tHe , -y liole ' . fabric' to the ground' / PajipCTism [ arid poor rates -were therefore not prevented by Pf of eitipri , arid we dp ndt see how the restoration of the old landlord system would prevent : either in future . Again , the Marquis say ' s * i—^ ' That Emigration from this country is largely increasing * In the year 18 l 5 , there were 93 , 501 ; in 184 P ,. 129 , 831 ; iri ; 1847 , ; 258 , 461 ; and in 1848 , there were not less than 300 , 000 left their native shore . " ¦ * , . : ¦ - . : Tremhling , shrinkingfrora the spoiler ' s handcar , far away , thy children leave the land . places i or | E |^ B ^^ to
intfo-Now , Emigration is no new thing . Landlords and capitalists have , at all times , held it up as' the panacea for the grievances inflicted by tbi system they thrive upon . Whenever ^ even under Protection , the , workers were inconveuientlynumerous for the owners of land and money , the ready expedient waa to ship them off to foreign lands , just as Mr . ' Sidney Herbert proposes to do now with the Sempstresses . Emigration , in fact , has been a standing recipe with the ruling classes for all social difficulties ; and when the Marquis of Granby talks of "the children of the land trembling , shrinking from the spoiler ' s hand , " who doe * he mean by " spoilers ?"> Has not Ireland contributed by far the largest proportion of the
300 , 000 who last year left our shores ? Who did the Irish fl yfrom ¦? Why from their landlords , who , under protection , had . extorted from them the last farthing—beggared and pauperised tenant arid labourer , and have now made large portions of the country a w ^ ste ; rather than give " up political '• ' ascendancy , based upon territorial possession . Nor are the Irish landlords ' alone in this nefarious conspiracy against the happiness , arid the prosperity of the country . Their English . brethren have , it is well known ,, at . all times treated the labourers on their estates as vermin , whom it was absolutely necessary to keep down ds much as possible . The most cruel , disgraceful , and inhuman methods have been resorted- to
for this purpose , ih comparison with which Emigration is beneficence itself . The labourers have been compelled to huddle together in families , under roofs which did not keep off water , and -within crazy walls whose numerous chinks and crannies . gave free admission to tho piercing winds of winter—hovels not fit for piggeries . * The object was to drive them from the estate , and save rates . " Whether they were driven into our large towns , to add to the desperate struggle for existence which ever rages among the unernployecl competitors for the bai'est pittance- ^ -br soughi ; that labour and subsistence in other lauds which was denied them here , the landlords neither knew nor cared ; sufficient for them was the fact , that they had been got rid of . . _; . ;
In short , looking back upon the agricbltural , commercial ,. and social 'history of tbis couritiy under Protection , we see nothing that can justify the people-in restoring to the landlords the . monopoly : of which ithey have . recently been deprived .. Pauperism , crime , destitution ; and' misery , prevailed among the masses under their sway , as it does now . "We have no guararitee that , if they were ' again in the ascendant , it would be'btherwise . Oii the
contrary , they cling to th ' e pldrsyBtein of land tenure and high rents . : They neither promise equitable leases nor corn rents ; They propose no alteration whatever , that has a'tendency to liberate the soil , f rom the . fetters in which ft is bound by the old feudal arrangements . They wish still to retain exclusive possession of the raw riiaterial of all ¦ wealth—the land—and to allow its use onl y upon such terms as may Biiifc their interests and convenience . The
people who dwell upon a soil ; thus appropriated , are the virtual slaves of the appropriators , no matter by what name they maybe called ; They have been robbed of their birthright—the right'to labour , and live by their labour in thejland of their ! birth , and no subsequent arrangements , however ingeniously constructed ; can rectify ; or . - compensate that ori ginal injustice . - ¦; ; ; : As regards the other party in the contest , we candidly confess , that we hare quite as little faith in them as in the landlords . Free Trade in the abstract is , no doubt , very right arid proper but as it is now practised ) or likely to be practised in this country , it is * synonim ous with theebntinued deterioration of the
working classes . The very vastness of the productive paw-ers at the disposal of society , increases the power of our suicidal competitive system for evil . Machinery and capital in the handa of selfish- and interested ' persons , are used- ' like the land , for the promotion of individual , ' not national interests . The question never arises , how' can these immense : pow-ers be best dirocted , ' to promote the' general welfare by the abundant' production and equitable distribution of wealth among the whole population but simply ' ¦ ' « How can 1 . make the most of them for .. r iiyself ? " They ' arc employed , not a £ regHiredby the interests of the' masses , but the convenience and profit of the owner 1
The . Free Traders point to the cheapness of prices , and the , 'increase" of our export ' s ; as proofs of the success of their system , aqd of the improved condition of the people . Ncvex was there a greater fallacy .. ;; Cheapness of pricedoes not invariably impl y at the same time the power to purchase—increase of exports may , be tho result of forced ealei in which three bales of goodshavetobe given for the price of two -or-one ¦¦•" The test of all
healthy trade' is- the' profits it leaves the em . ployer- ^ the wages it pays the worker , Lricd by that simple but conclusive criterion it will be fdgnd that we have nothing to boast of—that theVcondition even ; of our manufacturing population is of a very inferior description—that large masses of urban labourers are sunk in ; the deepest gulf of misery ^ and wretchedness , to which cven . the mostsaneuine advocates of the benefits : of Free Trade will admit they have < uot penetrated . " . '
^ ye go further , and ' say that , ' instead of ameliorating their condition , Free Trade will aggravate it , and steadily add to the nijmber of those so situated . < . ' The essential tendency : of our present system is to dispense with manual labour , and to cheapen the price of machine-made goods The intense . and . eag ^ -r rivalry of the cfpitall ists will act , " as certainly as gravitation does in
the physioal world , to puli down profits and wages-alwA ) -st « the very lowest point . c But the loss and tluf misery will , in all cases , fall tirst and heaviest ; upon the , worker .
