MINISTERIAL AND ' PARLIAMENTARY ; CHARTISM . It really does appear that Lord Johw Russell intends to redeem his promise next year and bring in a new Reform Bill . On Tuesday he declined to open his Jipjj against Mr . BEBKEWsy ' s motion for tho Ballot , kept the Treasury whip' in abeyance , and allowed the ATTOBNEy-GBNEBAL and Solicitor-General to vote for the motion . The
Consequence was a majority of eighty-seven to fifty in its favour . The Government might have prevented this , or , at all events , made the majority much lesi ; they might have openly opposed the motion instead of contenting themselves with what may he called a negative resistance . They did neither ; from which we may infer that a point which has thus repeatedly been affirmed by resolutions of the House of Commons may hare a chance of being included in the New Whig Charter of 1852 . At aM events these resolutions will form an ample parliamentary justification for its inclusion .
On the following day Lord John earrendered another point of the Charter : No Property Qualification , The cause of this concession was so singular that it almost leads to the suspicion that the affair had been previously arranged behind the scenes by tho principal performers . Mr . Tufnell was for several years the senior Whipper-in' for the Ministry . He has only recently resigned that position ; and since that period has given no sign of alienation from the party he served so well and so faithfully . Neither was he ever distinguished for ultra-liberalism so far as we remember ; and yet it was this gentleman who , on the motion for going into committee on Mr . Hum ' s
Colonial Property Qualification Bill , on Wednesday , raised tho general question of Property Qualification for Members of Parliament , and moved its abolition . The surprise that such a motion should come from such a quarter was not lessened when the Premier rose to ' reply . He admitted that the Property Qualification was wholly useless for its ostens ible purposes , while it not unfrequently led to the exclusion of Members from the House , otherwise highly elig ible . The Scottish Members had no such qualification , and yet they were neither inferior in intellect—in business
habits—or in capacity for legislation—to the Members for England or Ireland . That being the case , he saw no reason why the whole question of qualification should not ; bo taken into consideration by Parliament ; but he objected to the mode in which Mr . Totnell introduced it , and suggested that it should either be done by a special Bill to abolish Property Qualifications altogether , or by a Bill for tho general purpose of improving our whole system of representation ; ' and whether , ' added his Lordship , ' such a Bill may be introduced by my right honourable
friend , or by any other Member , I shall be willing certainly to give the question & favouraWeconsideration ; ' whereupon he was greeted with' loud cheers . ' The necessity of going a little further , in order to make the abolition of this restriction on the choice of the electoral body of any practical utility , was , however , immediately afterwards shown by the noble Lord . It would , undoubtedly , be an impossibility for any one not possessing considerable means , to reside in London and attend to the duties of a Member of Parliament , unless he were paid for so doing . That is the logical sequence perceived by the framers of the People ' s Charter , and provided for in that document . To the Payment of Members
Lord John , however , is at present opposed , and when it is brought forward ' shall ( eel it his duty to vote against it ; ' while he is inconsistent enough to promise his vote and support of the abolition of Property Qualification , which , without the other , will have no perceptible effect on the composition of the Legislature . It is quite true , as the Premier says , that a farmer who spent his time in St . Stephen ' s during the spring and great part of the summer , could not , at the same time , attend to his farming operations ; nor could the small tradesman attend to his customers , and his business must suffer . But what then ? If' farmers' and ' tradesmen '—
let us add workmen—were thought worthy Of being called upon to do the work of the nation , why should they not be paid for their labours ? Mr . Henley gives the answer , because there are gentlemen at large , and political adventurers , who would recommend themselves to particular constituencies , ' and , in fact , make a trade" of seats in the House . Well , are there no ' gentlemen at large , ' and ' political adventurers , ' in the present House—and do these loose fish and adventurers exercise any influence whatever in it ? As for the idon
that the nation would nil tho House with that class of persons , ' we are surprised that so shrewd and clear-headed a man as Mr . Henley should not understand the character of his countrymen better . We firmly believe that , under the system proposed by the People ' s Charter , there would be fewer ' gentlemen at large and political adventurers , ' than there are at present . If a stray specimen of either species did occasionally find his way into the House , his stay would bo a short one . The annual reckonings with the constituents , provided for by the Charter , would clear up all accounts in a manner by no means satisfactory to shams or humbugs of any kind ,
We congratulate our readers , however , on the vastly improved tone oh these questions , already apparent in the House of Commons . It shows that the time has come when , above all things , it is the incumbent and imperative duty of the Suffrage Reformers to unite in one vigorous and national organisation for the realisation of the object they all profess to have in view . A Reform Bill we shall have next
year , propounded by the present Ministry , Its complexion and extent will depend mainly upon ' the pressure from without . ' The approaching autumn and winter will furnish ample time and scope for creating a national movement in favour of this . primary and all * important object . We ought to be prepared to make use of the precious opportunity , which , if lost , may not occur again for many years
to come . The present aspect of tho Suffrage qUOBtlOD is the beet possible proof that the past exertions of Chartists have not been wasted . The seed they havesown has fallen upon fruitful soil , and , though slowly , ia yielding a harvest , Parliamentary Reform , in some of itsphases , which were a few years ago considered ultra , impracticable , and revolutionary , are no longer
tabooed either by Government or by Parliament . On the contrary , we find the two first Law Officers of the Crown voting , with a majority , in favour of the Ballot , and the Prime Minister declaring hia approval of the abolition of Property Qualification for members . Here are two points of the Charter conceded , and encouragement to work harder to gain further concessions in future .
We are nearing the goal , and should put forth redoubled energy , jsheered and invigorated by the prospect of ultimate and not distant success .

MR . O'CONNOR AND HIS ASSAILANTS . From numerous quarters we receive information of incessant- and evidently organised attempt * to injure the 'JStar , ' and through it the Proprietor—Mr . Feargus O'Connor . It is painful to add , that these attempts have met with encouragement in too many instances ,
instead of being rebuked , as they ought to have been . They have , we believe , been made , in , sdme cases , by parties who had an evident personal bias and personal hostility to gratifypersonal purposes , and ambition to subserve ; while in others , even these reasona have been wanting for forgetting the great and substantial tenefits conferred by Mr . O'Connor and the ' Star , ' upon the industrial and political movements of this country , for the last fourteen
years . Daring the whole of that period the pages of this journal have ever been freely opened to the people , and at the present moment there ia no newspaper which is bo emphatically , bo thoroughly , and bo completely , at their command , or go entirely devoted to their interests . Previous to its establishment the working classes of this country had no organ in the
press . They were isolated and ignorant of each other ' s opinions and purposes . The ' Star' united and informed them . It became the medium of mutual intercourse and enlightenment , and made Chartism National . At various periods journals have been established on tho same principles bnt avowedly in opposition to tho ? Star . In stead of treating them as rivals , we have always hailed them at co-worketB , and given the aid of our commendation , waiver if was

worth , and of our circulation when it was at ™ highest . With one recent exception , none of the journals thus commenced maintained an existence of more than a few months ; and had they succeeded in their real object—that of putting down Mr . O'Connor and the' Star , they would hare left Chartism without an organ . With reference to the journal just alluded to , it is well known that but for the very large capital at its back , supplied b y gentlemen of the highest philanthropy , it could not have existed so long . But its proprietors and supporters as well as its conductors , entertain peculiar views , which have a necessary tendency to make its readers more select than numerous ; and while the influence of tho
paper must ever be of the most important and of the most valuable kind , yet it will operate on the masses rather indirectly than directly . Between us there can be no rivalry ; on the contrary , we frankly and gratefully acknowledge the powerful impetus it iB giving to the movement , in circles where the * Star' would never penetrate . But for the people at large the ' Star' still continues tho only Una fide popular organ . Its columns are exclusively devoted to them ; the emancipation and the elevation of labour , continues to be the one and sole object of its proprietor and conductors , apart from all considerations of popularity or profit , both of which have during its existence been lavishly devoted to that object .
Not in vain have we laboured . The altered tone of public opinion , on all the political and social questions of the age , is not a spontaneous production . It is the result of many a hard fought battle with Error , Prejudice , Ignorance and Party Spirit , in which , we are proud to think , tho ' Sfcar has taken and given some hard blows , The great cause has prospered , and the principles for which wo have contended are evidently gaining the ascendant . "What we want is , that those for whom we have struggled and laboured iu the storm should not forget us in the sunshine . It will bo long indeed ere they will find another man who ¦ will devote time , means , health , and energy , so unsparingly to their service by day
and night , month after month , and year after year , as Mr . O'Connor has done . By the cabals of his enemies , the treachery of his pretended friends , and the desertion of his summer "weather colleagues , bo is , at the present moment , called upon to face unusual difficulties—the bitterest of which is the ingratitude of those for whom he has made so many and such great sacrifices . The people , for whom he has toiled in their day of need , should rally round him in his time of trial , and demonstrate to the Government and to the world , that neither official calumnies , personal detraction , nor base betrayal and partisan slanders can alienate their hearts from a leader who has , under all changes , and at all seasons , ever been true to them and to their
interests . As a specimen of the treatment to which Mr . O' Connor has been subjected by those from whom he had a right to expect very different things , we may refer to the letter signed ' Observer , ' in another column . The facts stated by the writer , as to the disposal of the Bank furniture by tho Directors of the Land Company , we have been informed are corrcctly Btated ; if not , we shall behappy to give an authorised contradiction . If true , how these parties can justify the act , after their solemn protestations that the Bank and the
Company had no connexion whatever , is inconceivable ; but not more go than the hot haste and eager speed with which they rushed into the 'Daily News , ' to cast imputations on Mr . O'Connor ' s character . The only explanation of these strange occurrences we can find is in the old axiom , Necessitas non habet legem ? Mr . O'Connor could no longer pay them their salaries out of his own pocket , so they denounced the temporary suspension of the Bank , and disclaimed all connexion with it in a paper , where , they well knew , such a communication would be welcome . That , however , did not prevent the recurrence of
the weekly bakers and butchers bills ; and the same lawless necessity drove them to identify the Bank aud the Company , again , by the extraordinary act , of appropriating the Bank furniture . As to the attacks of the same parties upon the policy and the proceedings of Mr . O'Connor , it is obvious that every word they utter against him is self-condemnatory , They were , in their official capacity , participators in the errors , if errors there be , and they ought not to have delayed criticism and disclaimers until both were conjoined with a financial position , which throws as much suspicion on the accuracy of their statements , as the purity of their motives .
This , however , is a mere sample of the numerous agencies which are now at work , and of the motives by -which Mr . O'Connor ' s assailants are actuated . We leave to the hundreds of thousands who admire the boldness and the determination with which he has ever upheld the cause of the People ' s Charter , to Say Whether such attempts shall succeed or not , We trust that improved health , and the close of the Parliamentary session , will shortly enable him to make a tour of the principal industrial disiricts : and that the thousands of old- and ; ricts ; and that the thousands of old- and
tried friends of tho Charter , vbo will then rally round him , will make such a demonstration as to show both the Government , which has sought to ruin him with expenses , ' and the private foes , who have , mole-like , worked in tho dark , to traduce hia character and injure his property , that then efforts have failed in separating the people from the long tried , sincere , and devoted leader of Chartism . The intrigues to injure the circulation of the ' Star , - we leave to be counteracted by the local knowledge and energy of our friends .

If there be any one principle Z clearly deducible from the scri ptures on «•} , •? the Christian faith is based—or more powerM supported by all abstract reason and argum than another , it is that the soil of any count belongs to the whole people , and not to J section or class of that people . When \ J principle is violated , there can be ncith !' stability , justice , nor beneficence in the otJ
institutions of society . They are all placed on a radically vicious and unsound foim <] , tion . By dint of much counteraction atj counter-planning , by mitigations hero , at ! j palliations there , the original and fundaments ] error may be modified in its injurious qw tion ; but underneath the whole , there 1 ^ 1 Btili-flow steadily a deep and sweeping iy r social evil . Ignorance , poverty , and crin , e must be the condition of the masses who m shut out by the robber institutions of tu powerful fevr from the common heritago d vised to them by their Creator .
The present Government has a heavy crim to answer , as the aider aud abettor ofa landlord class , who have Bunk Ireland to £ present deplorable condition . Thev oustr ^ the late Sir R . Peel from office at ' tho vor ? moment when he was about to turn Ins nttea tion to that country , with the view of iutro ducing substantial , permanent , and proves ! sive measures of amelioration . That grea > statesman declared that the time had come for the adoption of a remedial , instead of a coer cive and repressive policy ; and the plan whki he afterwards outlined , of an exteii 6 ivo and systematic scheme of colonisation , by vh \^
capital , akin , ana enterprise , would have Wen brought to bear upon the employment of ! a . bour , and the development of Ireland ' la . " tent resources , iudicated sufficiently tho nature of the measures we should have had from him had he remained in power , even to tho tiniO of his lamented death . He would have initiated and set ia motion a system of reproductive en . terprise and employment of a self-sustaining ' and progressive character , which would have opened up to Ireland a long vista of prospe . rity , and , instead of a largely diminished num . her of inhabitants , we might now have a popu . lation , showing , at least , a fair natural in .
crease . But Lord John Russell chose to ally himself with an angry and irritated faction , and for factious , party , and selfish purposes , to prevent that great man from conferring those blessings upon Ireland . He ousted his political rival from office , however , on the distinct pledge that he would act upon tho principle ! laid down by him . The terrible year of famine followed . The landlords were utterly beggared and broken down . Societ y was , as it were , resolved into its primary elements ia
that country . An appeal was made to thii country for help , in the shape of milliom sterling ; and the immensity of the Buffering requiring immediate relief , demanded expenditure on no less a scale . But what would have been the conduct of a far-seeing and firm-minded statesman atsuch a crisis ? Would he not have seized the opportunity of landlordhelplessness to insist that a fundamental reform should be the condition of assistance , and taken care that the monopolists ofthesoil should never have the power of placing the country i » such a position again .
Instead of doing that , Ireland was delivered over to the landlords , bound hand and foot , Millions of sterling money were wasted in the moat absurd and disgraceful manner by professed political economists , who are alwayj sneering at the impracticable crotchets of Communists and Socialists ; and the end of all is this damning record of their utter inc& pabiiitv , either to apprehend Bound principle ! f til
onaonaGovernment , or to apply them to practice . The blind have led the bliud , and both have fallen into the ditch . Malthuaian political economists and land monopolists liars reached , the ne plus ultra of their respectto princi ples in Ireland . How do they like their handywork ? Could "Anarchists , " or "Bed Republicans , " or "Communists , " govern worse , or produce depopulation and destruction Upon a larger scale ?

THE CURSE OF LANDLORDISM . Depopulated Ireland is & terrible illustration of the effects of landlordism and misgovernment . But for these twin curses , its population should have been two millions and a half more than the census shows it to be . Instead of an increase of a million on' the last decennial enumeration , there is a decrease of upwards of a million and a half 1 A general European war could scarcely have been more destructive of human life jn the same time
and thOBe friends of ' Peace , Law , and Order' who shudder at revolutionary conflicts ; and the loss of a few hundred lives in the effort to win individual and national freedom , may , at their leisure , count the cost of submission to a real , if not nominal , slavery Under the nway of landlordism the destroying angel has winnowed the land with his wings .
