ask the Engliskpeople srhefljefthey are prepared to alloy their representatives to expend the people ^ s time and money in carrying on a mere party -sqnabible . Of course I cannot judgejor . ejep . jgaessr . al to how . tb . 9 .. debate upon Ms subject will concluda ; but tos Jdo inow , that if . the Protectionists come into power , the people will , in the language of the orator at the Crown and Anchor , see the farmers commanded by their landlords , mounting then- horses ,, not as loyal Yeomanry Cavalry , but as interested tax imposers ; and it is for the change which may follow the appointment of a Tory , administration ; that I would now prepare the people . -.. i . ......
There haa ; aslbefore told you , heen a . great apathy , in- . the ^ Chartist party ; and I can scarcely blame them , when I reflect upon the treachery of those spies and informers , Who , in 1848 , were ready to die upon the pktform to secure the Chartist principles . :.. My Mends , , lo prove to you my sincerity in you ? cause , I . need . only state , that neither "Whi g nor Tory Minister was ever subjected to more calumny and greater insolence than myfiel ^ ieven at the = present time . A few men , who have no hope of existence , except what
they can denve from abuse of me , and who know as much about politics as a pig does of geometry , are daily and nightly belching forth their abuse of me ; this , ' however , is confined to the virtuous metropolis ; and I would implore of the Chartist party to treat their abuse as I do , and let it pass by them as the idle wind . Clothing so much annoys me as to have my name or character made the eause of contention ; and nothing so much delights me as to find myself abased by unprincipled men , as the censure of slaves is adulation .
My friends , if I was to disclose what has been communicated to me within this week , you would be horrified—not containing abuse of myself ,-but the most revolting communications with reference to another individual , who , however ,, shall he nameless , as having received no small amount of-slander myself , I am not oae capable of believing reports : as to the transactions of others , until they ^ are"folly and clearly established ; so that I act very differently to others than others act to me .
I now abandon all thought of personality , and would draw your attention to . the coining times , ; It is not at all improbable that we may very shortly , have a change of ministers , and consequently a dissolution of Parliament ; and in such an event taking place , you would see such ' a House ^ , "Commons as England never-saw . before ; - One of the great objects of the _ SlA 2 ? LEr parl y in secur ing a dissolution of Parliament is , to base their power upon the principles of protection before the Irish Electoral BUI becomes Iaw .: I have told you before , that the voice of three hundred farmers , having votes , -ajid looking to protection , for their produce , would silence the enthusiastic : cheers of 400 , 000 shouting forFreeTrada . I have
told you , before Cobden mentioned it , that if you had a general election to-morrow , Ireland would return fron ' eighty to ninety Protectionists- out of her 105 members . No Ir ish former that has not an interest in his land has remained upon his native , soil . All those whose labour and capital were expended for the benefit of the landlord , have left the land , of their birth , and- emigrated to some foreign country ; thus I show you that those who still cultivate the Irish soil , are either , the mete serfs of the landlord , who must consent to be driven ; to . the / poll . like sheep to market ,, or cultivates small portion of then : own land , in- , the -prijjft . of the .. produce of . which 'they natorally hava an interest .
.--,..-Now , _ . it is , for the purpose of ; securing power basedfipon the interests of those tenants dependent npon their-lasdlords or depending upon the price of the produce ef their -6 w / n small-farms , and before the new Electoral Bill is passed , that the Protectionists ' , have resolved-iipon ^ oasfcjag the Grovernment— -and if such . should be the result » ofL the question now under debate , you will see an-increase ; " of taxation ,- an amount of tyranny , and such , an attempt to suppress , public opinion : as you never witnessed before in this country . ; Tpn win see aiHoly Alliancebetween the Northern
Bear , the Austrian Brute , the French Legitimists , and the English representatives' of oar , LOVEItT YOUNG QUEEN , - ; and then yon will see popular , opinion suppressed nponthe Continent ,, and you will hear " toe cannon ' s roar , attempting to suppress EngKsh opinion . ; However , while I doubt ' Ittjaitit ^ H : ibe . strong enough- to . suppreis ^ ' ^ he wor ! ? d * ss . nund . of England ^ ye ^ jaB , I have . a . g ^ th ^ rTO ?;; Of ; bIooa ^ hed v and , ; a&ii& ^ nd ^ of-Engiand ^ iB capable of ntejotJaJning ox t iieiB-fyea , ioi timea ' ite . present ; pop ' u 1 ai tibn—I would much rather see the change
that I desire base ^ uj ^ n moral , than physical PQrer ; arid always bear . onetWng . in mind , it is this : that the very ' men who would uig ^ you on to Revolution KQuld be the very first to desert you , jor , . perhap 8 ,. the fest . to turn informers Against Tooi ^ and for these reasons—; ho pmg % it ?^ e , ; Gluitiit powo vdll fiia ^ ly ovjgrtiirbwlVbig and Tory despotism , or . both unitedly—I would implore you tobe united , and not ^ allo ^ ypur rlaWcs tolbsi distorbfid andyour power-destroyed-b y the bickeringsj ; the reviling&j ' aao !" , Milagonisni' of fooKsh : and ; . interr ^^ parties .

servicesT with the exception of Mr . M'Graih , who has care of allvtiie-booksl mustbe , dispensed withi Perhaps those members whose monies are invested in the Land Company , are not aware that there are as many books connected with that Company as would fill an omnibus ^ while many ' ; appear to heso deni cient in knowled ge as to suppose that the care of those bbbka may be committed , perhaps , to a policeman . I am not . going . to answer any ; of the reflections attempted to be cast upen the Du-ectors , during their servicefurther than
, this , that if a fraction was missing , or inis-. apph ' ed , - in consequence of the neglect or the dishonesty of the Directors , I , and not the shareholders , would be , the suflerer ; ' anil therefore , as not a fraction has been misapplied or EMBEZZLEP by , the Du * ectors , I have no cause to complain ; and when I have not , the shareholders have not . The shareholders will therefore understand , that Mr . M'GrRAXH—who necessarily _ has care of the books—is the only director now employed , and that , for many weeks . even he has received no
wages ; so I think that he , and not the shareholders ; has legitimate cause of complaint . However , as in spite , of all opposition ,: ! thiB Land Question ever has been ; : and ever SHALL BE , my DAELING HOBBYj I will now give my revilers an incontrovertible specimen as to what may be done with the land ; and from it the people may draw , their conclusion as to the comparison between slavelabour and free labour . "' .:. ; " ... ' V ' ' WhenlwasatGorgie Mills , amongst my beloved old friends ; whose feelings , and sentiments , and affection , inspired me with gladness , with joy , and with hope , I walked in the
cheerful company , of several of them over a small farm adjoining the village , of twenty acres , occupied by a man of the ; name , of Miller ^ For those twenty , acres he pay s a rent of £ 140 a year , that is £ 7 an acre , not . including taxes . He employs fifteen persons every day in the year , besides himself arid his two sons , making eighteen , and two , horses , even upon that amount of ground ; and putting the horses down at two , supposing each horse to' be only equal to one labourer ,: ho employs twenty labourers , 8 R ONE MAN . TO , A : Nj A'CRE : he has occupied the farm- fo ? eight years , and . has , as I am informed , realised
£ o , 000 profit within that period . Well ; I will go further . After the meeting , I walked in company with some of my friends a distance of about half a mile from Gorgie Mills , and there a young man showed us an acre and three quarters of ground for which he pavs £ 26 a year , and would not take a large premium for his domain . ; . That is Scotland ; and naw I will bring you to England . When I arrived at Newcastle , several good and Writable Chartists called upon me , amongst the rest a man of the name of Morris ; he told me that he had read my work apon Small Farms
he gave me a pound for the Honesty Fund , which should have been acknowledged in last week ' s "Star # and hear his position : for thirteen years he has paid £ 4 } a year ^ rerit , and £ 10 a year taxes , for five acres of land , two acres being com pletely sterile ; thus snakuiga rent , including taxes , « f £ 17 an , acre upon the three good acres : he employed a man to assist him every day , aod . -soriietiipes four men ; he looked well , hearty , robust , and cheerful ; he said that he had expended £ 84 upon the land before he could make it produce anything , and now he could not jay what would ! induee him to give it upT " ~ .. ; / , - -
Now from these three . casesj . where the holders have aa interest in their allotments , ' the reader will be able to discover the . diflererice between them and those rascalsi whohave had land , house , aid money , loan money , and have paid no rent _ . The plan , hpweverj which the "Dispatch , " and die mill-lprds ^ who live apon . the very blood of their slaye ^ slander and revile .::. Andr why ?

Mr . W . A .

( Loud cueera . ) Tor himself , he had been a wanderer for thirty years , and had found sympathy amongst * and been most hospitably treated by the English people ; : consequently he did not blame them for his country ' s miseries , but the aristocracy , and other classes who usurped the right of making : the laws by which they were governed . ( Loud cheers . ); . . Mr . Wood supported the resolution . '
