      The water tued for hot-spinning , is heated to 110 to 120 degrees . The ehildren have almost continually to plunge thsir hands and arms in that water . The heat of those rooms and ttw steam , almost macerates their bodieM , and their clottee are steamed aad wet When the masters go into the rooms , they do not look to the fatigue of the children ; but if every one is not doing their work , there is a sharp look oat after them . If they fall sick , it i » hardly thought twice about , hut they are s « nt home directly . Tht tmployers Aooe abvndart opportunity of noticing the excessive / aiigue of the children employed ! It is aot allowed to have seats at all . They are not allowed to speak to each other . I never knew an overlooker discharged for cruel conduct . If a child complains of ill-nsage , site gets discharged that is ail the redress she can have . The * present system is ruining the rising generation ; it is sacrificing the chSdren for a paltry consideration : '

      " Samuel Downe , of Hamlet Car , near Leeds , reports as follows : — 'I am twenty-nine years ot age . I am a native of Shrewsbury . I was about ten years old when I began to work , at Mr . Marshall ' s mili at Shrewsbury . When » e were briik , we used generally to begin at five in the morning , and run till eight at night The engine never stopped , except forty minutes at dinner time . These Jong hours were very fatiguing . The children were kept awake by a blow or a box j Tery considerable severity was nsed in that mill ; i was strapped most severely , till I could not bear to sit npon a chair without having pillows ; and I was forced to lie upon my face in bed at one tim « ! and through that I left . I was strapped on my legs , and then J was put on a man's back and strapped ; and then I was strapped and buckled with two straps to an iron pillar , andfiVggeri !! After that , the overlooker took a piece of tow , and twisted it in the shape or a cord , and put it in my

      mouth , and tied it behind my head ! He thus gagged me , and then he ordered me to run round apart of the machinery , and he stood at one end , and every time I came ropnd , ho struck me with a stick , which I believe was an ash plant , and which he generally carried in his hand , till one of the men in the room came and begged me off . ' I At one time I was beaten so , that 1 had not the power to cry at all ! . ' I was then between ten and eleven years old ! It was winter time , and we worked by gas-light , and I could not catch the revolutions of the machinery , to take the tow out of the hackles ; it requires some little experience , and I was timid at it , and pricked my fingers very much with the hackles . I cannot assign » ny other reason for it . ' He was not discharged from the milL We were never allowed to sit ! We were not allowed to talk!— not at all , by no means : If this man heard us , he came to us with his stick ! Young- -women were beaten as well as young men !'

      " Jonathan Downe ' s statement follows : — " * I reside in Leeds . J am twenty-five years old . I first went to work at Mr . Mar&h&ll ' B mill when I was seven years old . Very severe methods were adopted , in order to compel us to work their long hours . I have seen boys knocked down with a strap : they hare been called from their woii , flogged , and then knocked down on the floor ; and when they have been on the floor , they have been beaten till thej have risen , and when they have risen , they have been flogged to their work again ! That was very common ! I know many who have been bound to pillars , and then flogged—it is quite common to do so ! Females were ab » chastised : >* o means were taken to remove the overlooker who inflicted such extreme chastisement ! If we had

      complained to ilr . Mar « h * ll , we should have been discharged ; and whatever hand was turned away from Mr . Marshall ' s , Mr . Benyon would not employ ; and whatever hand wa 3 turned away from Mr . Benyon " s , Mr . Marshall would not employ ;—and these were the only two mills in Shrewsbury . I have known a mother of two children , in Mr . Marshall ' s employment at Shrewsbury , knocked down by the ovtrlooier . ' Horseman , the manager , will go to the overlookers , and , if they have not done something severe , h « will say , * I have never heard of your doing anything —yon h » Te never quarrelled with any ef the hands—do something , that I may bear of it , and I will stand your friend ! ' It is the usual practice to prepare mills , previous to their being inspected by strangers . It is a

      frequent thing at Mr . Marshall ' s mill , where the least children are employed , [ there are plenty working at six years of age !) provided a child should be drowsy , the overlooker walks round the room , with a stick in his hand , tnd be touches that child , on the shoulder , and says , Come here . " In the corner of the room , there is in iron cistern—it is filled with water ; he takes this boy np by the legs , and dips him overhead in the cistern , and sends him to his w « rk for the remainder of the day ! and that boy is t « stand , dripping as he is , at his -work . ' he has no chance of drying hifl > seif I That is the punishment for drowsiness ' . —far other offences there is a staol fixed np at the end of the roem ; the boy who offends is put to stand on this stool , sometimes on both Ieg 3 , and sometimes on one of his legs , with the other up , and he has a lever to bear in his hands , ¦ raised and stTetcEed ever his head : and there he has t o

      stand , for ten , or fifteen , or thirty minutes , just as the overlooker chooses ; and , provided he should lower his amis , land it is a grtat weight to bear fur a quarter of an honr , ) I have seen the overlooker go and say , * hold up ! ' and sometimes the boy will try to bold it up , and yet not have strength to raise it , and the overlooker cuts him with his slick , until he does actually get it np ,- and the tears will run down his face when he is there standing i I have seen this done there frequently —it is the regular practice ! We have a vast number of cripples . Some are crippltd from losing their limbs —many from standing too long . It first begins with a pain in the ankle ; after that , they will ask the overlooker to let them si : down—but they must nGt Then they begin to be weak in the knee—then kuock-kiJeed —after that , thtir feet turn out—they become splayfooted , and their ankles swell as big as my flits . J know many deformed in the way described . '

      'The perusal of such horribly disgusting , crael details , showing by what means Mr . J . G . Marshall has been made a rich man , makea the heart sick , and throng * the mind with thoughts that require Will balancing , before they are expressed in words . " Who does not feel his blood creep throngh his TeinB at the foregoing recitals of the deliberate s cold hearted , and barbarous slow murder of the young children of the factories ? Good God I and is & man in prison for exposing these enormities ; and for advocating bnmanitv to trie pallid , deformed , wasting , aad perishing victims ! We hare read that our forefathers in Drnidical days made baskets of wicker

      work , rudely shaped in the form of man , and then filled them with human offerings whom they burned alive to appease or gratify their savage gods . Here was at ail events Eineerity of purpose , fell though it might be ; it had religious feeling for US basis ; and the suffering , though horrible and awfa ] , was not very protracted : bnt this devotion to the God Mammon-Molcch is more selfish , is for mere gain only , and prolongs the sufferings of death for day after day , month after month , or year after j ear , torturing its victims as the tiger does his weak prey , as if feasting on their pangs and lengthen « d agonies .

      As Mr . Marshall has fignred away agatast Lord Fitzwalliam , with the aid of a friend in the background , who has served him as the monkey served the cats with the chesnnts in the fable , we would suggest the propriety of hia appealing to his friend to give him a helping hand to get him out of the mire into which he h& 3 dragged him . We must reserve the plums of No . 15 for our next .

      " WHO WILL BELL THE CAT \" Ocb comment npoa the new more , in oar last number , was necessarily brief . We were not taken by surprise ; though we confess onr astonishment at the manner in "which out anticipations have been realised . It is the fashion with moat political writers to predict events upon their occurrence j' thus upon subjects never thought of we not unfrequently find our contemporaries launching into extravagant enlo ^ iums upon their intuitive knowledge of faete , upon which , before they "were known to all the world , our friendB were dumb as the silent

      tombstone . However , that tee did predict the forthcoming alliance , we shall presently submit what ire trust will stand as unquestionable proof . In fact , we a belkd the cat" before the " cat came oat of the bag . " When we attempt to prove ths affirmative or the negative of any proposition for our toil-worn readers , who have not so much time to digest the whole matter as we hare , they expect that we shall

      proceed to our work calmly and plainly , so as to aid them in the formation of a Nnsible and deliberate judgment upon the rabject . It is not enough that we ssy , sU w > io , " siejuteo , " thus I will , and tiros I command ; feat we must sh « w w&erein our will should be their will ; aad then the observance of their command becomes onr honourable duty . Soeh are oar reciprocal dependencies . If we are not free , we cannot defend-th * rigbte of others ; srhils : out freedom-is of little vao if not exerswed boldly , Btajf . fully , and i defiance of all danger . . ' .:

      We proceed , thea , io shew , firstly , that this Abs * ciation is of ( yCoiwELi , Huns , and Bosbucx's cob-. coction ; and , secondly , that we predieted ; it v * ftd iDstantly " belled the cat , " in the Star of the . 6 & of February , under t&e head " The * "

      " Mr . Home submitted a definition of what he considered Household Suffrage ought to be , which was to be taksn into consideration by the Association . He stated that the leading men of the working classes generally concurred in the definition , and had promised te give their assistance , were an agitation for such a Household Suffrage to be set on foot " Mr . O'Connell cordiaUyjconcarred in the suggestions of Mr . Hume . He considered it as of the first importance that the reasonable portion of the Charttsta should be got over to theaid or the Rational Reformers . He urged » fae necessity of « ome central body being established in London , for the difEusion of knowledge upon political subject * . The public mind should be eaturated with facts bearing on the present gross defects in the representation of the people .

      " Mr . Roebuck said that such a body was at present in contemplation in London , and he trusted that it would very speedily be set in operation , so as to act in concert with the Leeds Association . " Upon this announcement we proceeded to comment as fellows : — " Aye , aye , we were aware that the scouts were on the look-out for fragments from the wreck of the good ship , ' Charter / out of which they had , in their fanciful

      imaginations , built a tight littLu bark for Whiggery to Boat a little longer on the stream ; but they have been aiataken . We were not asleep ; we knew what was to have been the sequel of a Whig triumph at Leeds . We told the people that it was to have been followed by a similar side- blow at Chartism at Leicester , Manchester , and Birmingham ; and by a whip in London . Henc * we saw the full value of our triumph at Leeds . "

      After a few more comments we concluded the article thus : — " Now , this is beld . We challenge them—we dare them—we defy them , and we £ ive them every man they can crimp—every bit of ' ginger' they can purchase , and our provincial delegates shall outnumber the H-o-u-s-ehold-ambassadors . " No , no ; we were not caught napping ; nor will we be so now ! London is garrisoned ; and no past service , even though it were half-hanging , can reconcile the troops to one single move of a pin ' s point from the thing—the ' Charter . '

      " we have long since said that agitation is now too cheap and Unfashionable , in its new form , to arrest tbe attention and command the services of gentlemen too idle to work and too poor to do without it . So much for the Rotunda meeting , projected alliance , sad new definition of H-o-u-s-ehold Suffrage . " We imagine that no man of sound mind will for one moment doubt that the Association which has now sent forth its " Prospectus of Principle , " and which was to have acted with the Leeds Association for Household Suffrage had it been successful , ia that very Association to which Messrs . Hums and

      Roeblck referred , and which Air . O'Co . nwkll so highly eulogised ; and that we did not for one single moment doubt who the parties were , will be abundantly proved by our close watching and immediate exposure of Mr . Collina's quibbles , quirk ? , and shifts upon the question of Household Suffrage . la fact , being upon the spot , and aeeing the part which he acted , it became at once plain and obvious , not ouly to us , but to every Chartist in Leeds , that hi 3 object was to get in the wedge , in order to split the popular party and erect a new one upon its ruins , at the head of which was to be placed the golden image , the " money-finder 3 . "

      That we then predicted what has since taken place , reference to the whole article of Feb . 6 th will prove ; and that we would meet the conspiracy on the threshold whenever it presented itself , the three last paragraphs which we have quoted above pledged us : and now we proceed fearlessly to rede » m that pledge . Our first consideration in this painful but neoessary duty , is to analyse the pretensions of those who thus lay claim to so much public confidence , as to warrant the hope that our whole temple , which has cost so much in the ereotion , shall be levelled , pulled to piece 3 , and destroyed , in order that the new architects may , from the materials , build up a better one , and more to public taste .

      Of Mr . Rogers , then , we know but little , and the Chartists know less . We know him to be what is called " a consistent Reformer" and disciple of Cobbett—to have been Treasurer to the Convention , and to have resigned his trust : but further of his political labours in the Chartist cause we know nothing . Of his integrity as a man , we have the very highest opinion ; so we have of Mr . Bainesbut we would be sorry to be placed under his leadership .

      Mr . Mitchell . If " not to know" Mr . } MiTcnELL " argue 3 one's self unknown , " we muBt e'en suffer the charge of obscurity , and bear it as the penalty of our ignorance ; but positively we never heard of him before to our knowledge ; therefore if he is indeed worthy the appointment which he seeks , or rather which he has assumed—if we are guilty of any offence against him , it merely amounts to a want of knowledge of the fashionable Chartist world . Mr . Collins we do know , and have known more of him than we could hare wished of late . Mr . Loveti , we abo know , aid have known less of him than we could have desired of late ; however we have before apologised for his inactivity ; we oould wish it had degenerated even into neutrality .

      Messrs . Cleave and Hethebinoton are as well , nay better known , perhaps , to the Chartist world than ourselves ; therefore beyond the consideration of their part in the dooument under consideration we need make so comment . Before we comment upon the dangerous tendenoy of this doenment , let us consider whether or not the complainants are altother free from their principal charges , and whether or no they come into Court with clean hands . The complainants , then , charge the Chartists as follows : —

      " We have wasted glorious means of usefulness in foolish displays and gandy trappings , seeking to captivate tbe aenae rather than inform tbe mind , and aping the proceedings of » tinselled and corrupt aristocracy rather than aspiring to the mental and moral dignity of a pure Democracy . Our public meetings have , on too many occasions , been arenas of passionate invectiv , party spirit , and personal Idolatry . " Now , with the exception of our very excellent aad stanch friend , Dr . M'Dooall , we know of no one perBon upon whom so much "foolish display " and "gaudy trapping" has been wasted of late as upon Mr . John Collins ; and , curiously enough , when M'Douall complained of the waste Mr .

      Coiuks was altogether silent . We do wish that he had received this stroke of conscience before he pat the warm-hearted people of Scotland to the expence of so many carriages and four greys , so many tea parties , public emtrie 3 , medals , scarfs , and all the insignia of " fooliBh displayand gaudy trappings , " aud before he put us to the expence of some £ 40 in reporting the honour thus conferred . This complaint from Mr . Coluks , therefore , very forcibly reminds us of the thrifty dame , who , after borrowing her neighbour ' s tea kettle for twenty years , at length got one of her own ; and then the good dame , good lack ! discovered that borrowing was a most injurious practice , and lending just as bad .

      a Our public meetings hare on too many occasions been arenas of passionate invective , party spirit , and persona ] idolatry . " Onr friends , whose-answer to Mr . Lovbtt we embodied in onr last week ' s abort comment , have left us little to say upon this latter charge , to which they have bo perfectly , and so feelingly , and so justly replied . One portion of the subject , however , appears to have escaped the memory of Mr . Lotbtt ' s correspondent , and to which we shall direct his attention . -

      This charge of " passionate invective , partyspirit , aad personal idolatry , " comes with * bad , % very bad , grace from five oat of . the six complainants . Of I » te the enly meetings , or nearly so , have been upon the subject of the Corn Laws ; indeed ail , where any' ** passionate : iavectire" or " jparty feeling" were manifested ; and here we ask if it was not the unanimous recommendation of tbe Convention , of which Messrs . Lovsra , Coluns , dBATB , HCTH £ MNQTqs , andRoQEBS were members * that all agitation for a ' repeal of tbe Cora Laws should be resisted , overcome , and put down I ^ itit what colour of right , © r show of justioe , the » , can they now turn . upoathose who . in thus displaying , their u personal idolatry , " have but acted u # oa the adrice of the ooBplaicantB thamjel' 681 - - -

      Bnt , perhaps , onr friends may answer , " yes , but vre meaat ' to meet the questions with coolness and argdaeiit , and not with angry feelings and passionateinreetire . " We ask Messrs Lovett and Collins , in turn , what waa the resolution for which they suffered « weJr » months in Warwick Qwl t Was it not for th * < fo iteration that the people , while peaceably , legatfj , aad constitutionally ( and not passionately or iatefl ^ "> erately ) discussing their griev anoes , were brutal !/ , illegally and unconstitutionally attacked and disasrs * d , with . " passionate invectJTe " aad "party feeliB » f

      Again , lot us jntfr enq !»*© who in these " passionate invectives and eX&ibh ions of party feeling" have been the aggressors % Wba ner the Chartists , as the complainants most dfeta iourably and unjustly charge , or those hired M « w , § eon lecturers and the other interested parties who- grew intolerant from Chartist long forbearance , «* k ' at length it became necessary to meet invective » y i wectire , and angry feeling with angry feeling , J * erory single case the Chartists have nobly aotW \ the very suggestion of the Convention , of wise . * * & ™ of the complainants were members . :

      Surely Mr .

But , perhaps , being in opposition ftv 1 ^ * Walter , a Tory , may constitute the difference' * ' e are willing to do moa > of the gentlemen , indeed'ill . ' of them , the justice to say that they have never ^ tw our knowledge , evinced any " angry feeling"" vA ' party invective" at a single Whig meeting that ?!; has been called in the metropolis within our recol- ' lection . ; i 1 3 , [ \ - l

      As for the " personal idolatry , " we shall only add , in addition to what has been already said , — - " sour grapea !" When Mr . O'Connor worked himself nearly to death , forming committees of supply and release for Messrs . Lovett and Collins , we never heard a sentence in condemnation of that respect of which he literally made them idols . But , perhaps , like the temple , the idols too haye lost their charm , and new ones are to be set up in their stead .

      There are some who would blond popular idolatry with electoral support to gain Parliamentary honours ; and , we fear , they have become golden images with new worshippers . We think , however , that the personal idolatry may be strung with the "foolish displays and gaudy trapping , " and hung round Mr . Collins ' s neck with his various medals , as he ia the only one of that party who , of late , has been made an idol of . We shall now consider the professed object of the parties , and the means by which that object is to be achieved .

      Of course , in the outset , tho Charter is the object ; indeed nothing else would do to bait the trap . Any declaration short of the whole Charter , would at once strangle the infant in the cradle . Tho object then is to achieve tho Charter , and the means are by a voluntary tax of two hundred and fifty-six thousand four hundred and eight pounds per annum . Fore Gad , thia is coming it strong ! and smells rank of tho old fox , Dan . But to the object .

      Now , is there one single man of the six , or one man with half an eye in England , who is not awiire that the real object of the new move is to destroy the old move t Do the parties themselves not know , nd know full well too , that our last course must be their first course—that every stono which we ha , ve been placing with so much care , one on the top of the other , must be pulkd dorvn ; our top stones being their foundation stones . Do they require equality ? No ; if they did , they would join in what i 3 already so far progressed ,

      and , by their judgment , endeavour to repair what h faulty , instead of attempting to destroy what ia sound . They must know thai two Associations , holdiug aloof from each othe when their professed object is identical , must Weaken each other . They must know , as indeed they plainly confess , that to arrive at that point where they invite us to stop short , would cost them years of trouble , and the nation millions of money . They cannot bo ignorant of theso things ; and hence , we fear that discord was in truth their object , though of course not their professed object .

      What claim , we would ask , have they to public confidence , beyond any man now acting upon the Executive of the National Charter Association ? 0 ! " Mr . Roebuck has not yet said it is a legal body . " True , true ; wo forgot that . ' . ' ! These six gentlemen , while they disclaim all intention of interfering with any ABsooiation now in existence , at the same time modestly style themselves " The National Association of the United Kingdom . " After which in ten distinct clauses , the first commencing with a falsehood , they set forth their objects . They disclaim any notion of interfering with any Association now established , while in section No . I , they commence thus : — "To establish IN ONE GENERAL BODY persons of all creeds , " and so forth . .

      Now , here again , our Metropolitan friends may turn upon us and say , " O ! but we leave every man ; o the option of joining as many associations as ho pleases . " True again ; but if it requires the enormous tr am of more than a quarter of a million annually to carry out the dear objects of one , how many more can each man efficiently support ! Section No . II , is a sprat to catch a mackerel ; as of course , nothing but the whole Charter will now take .

      No . Ill , at onee proclaims that the organisation is to be carried on upon new principles , enforced by new missionaries ; as the words " seeing that the intentions of the general body are carried into effect , " has that and no other diplomatic meaning In fact , this section savours ef much authority . These three first sections we may take as declaratory of the objects set forth in the seven which follow , and in which the " modus opermndi " is laid down .

      Bnt then , alas 1 we come to the means , £ 266 ^ 80 per annum . Of course , we may be told that this is all voluntary , and may , or may not be raised ; that its collection is merely put hypdtheticaily . True again ; but , if it fails the whole fabric of which it is the very groundwork , failB also ; because all the plans in the Ten Commandments aro declared essential to the success of the project ; and the £ 256 , 480 per annum being the meana of their accomplishment , > becomes an indispensable . Therefore , we shall deal , firstly , with , the chances of getting the moaey , » nd , secondly , With the proposed mode of expending the money if we had it .

      We find that the number who signed the National Petition are relied upon , certainly bypotbeticallyj as data for volunteer tax-payers . Let us , from the natural disposition of man to have a finger in his own pie , just Bee in how far this wouldsuit the taste of one of the very best Radical towns in the empire * Glasgow . Suppose , then , that Glasgow t * -na up * o the mark and had 60 , 000 signatureB , each signature standing for - a Id .

      patriotism ; should not all work for all ! " Yes , we answer , and so they do ; and work best by working in their own locality , under their own direction , and according to their own judgment ; not by doing what missionaries shall see fit .. But suppose we have the money . Theobjeotisto haveindurtrialhalls and libraries . These places have to be built , and the laying ; the foundation stone of the first industrial hall would bs like the cold creation of a new world . We think we see a poor band-loom weaver looking wistfully at the slow fire which is destined to boil his pot , exclaiming with the fox , when he on heap of stones , "That will be a good fire when it lights I "

      . Will some good fellow furnish us , next week , with an appropriate dialogue between one of the architects * laying the foundation Btone of the first hallthe new temple of Liberty , and a hand-loom weaver with nine children , waiting its completion as a means of relief I . "But We have the money ; the object is , to carry the Charter , and we are quite sure that none will deny that with the Charter knowledge , temperance , and industry would progress ten thousandfold quicker than without it j therefore , we all agree that , fit or unfit , the sooner we get the Charter the better . " Well , then , we have the money , and now let us try our hand at the expenditure . ¦ " The value of anything

      . Is just the price that it -will bring . " What would our friends think of the following application of £ 256 , 4801 [ we love to write the sum , it looks so TEMPTING , and " so tverry TICING . " ] We have , then , the £ 256 , 480 , to be applied as follows : —Wages of one hundred independent Members of Parliament , at £ l , S 00 eaoh for tbe Session , £ 150 , 000 ; for the support of a Morning Paper , the t same size as the Morning Chronicle , to be ^ > ld at 2 £ d ., £ 10 , 000 ; ditto , for an Evenim .

Balance for electiiowi and , defence fund , tract fund , and other incidentadi eat fences , £ 74 , 730 per annum .

      Now , \ rna # would our friends think of such an " Appropriatib * Clause , " the euactment of which would , wefanoy , ^ iut us >* ^ tnan two years , in joint possession of alii tne Town Halls , Science Halls , Union Halls , 3 $ st ma * aa ( * Industrious Schools Libraries , ParkB , P .

Then the economists did 1 ot consult their brethren , although some parts of th . address bear evident marks of slight disapprobative l recently experienced by men who were " idols" i 'ofore ^ y threw the idolaters upon their own reson . rces , and would now give them" washing BATHS . " \ ' « thought weshould require a dip for an electoral qua lification , and next we shall want perfume , what Mr . O'Connor called

      the "fashionable stink . " "True again , " say the Nationals , " but where will you getilh 1100 members' ?" We havo them ; only give us the £ 1 > 500 a piece for them and we have them , 200 if wo wai ^ th em , ready madeinthemarket , ayeandintheHoase Twenty-five ten pound notes j on the first Monday of . every month , would be a tempting thing ; fifty Ea ^ 'h ' sh , forty Irish , and ten Scotch ; there they ar& , andi contest . a violent contest for priority .

      Do our friends suppose that parties who- juow vote black white for the mere purpose of getting" « a paltry commission in the army or navy , a small living in the church , or an appointment to a £ 300 a year commission for a brother , friend , or cousin , would not vote that white was white . for the pleasure of putting £ 1500 a year into their own fob ? Sinecurista , half-pay officers , little barristers , small pensioners , ministerial hacks , would scratch , each others eyes out in such a contest . Government don't give one half the sum to as many members for slavish work , and by which alone they keep up their majorities .

      One hundred independent gentlemen would firstly cut off all the money-mongers who oould uot leave the Temph by day , by obliging the House to meet by day . Our hundred would force Government , upon all questions , and upon Supply questions , to keep tbe House up to a four huudrcd pitch , at the very least . Our hundred members would have a double barrelled daily press , to annoy the enemy ' s flank and a weekly cannonade to defend their country garrisons .

      It is by this very system , at which the French Chamber of Daputiea has recently levelled so tremendous a blow ; that our court party is enabled to procure its ascendancy in both Houses of Parliament , by pensioning pauper Peers and bribing pauper Commons . We could pay 150 , if necessary , but we prefer keeping a sinking fund of £ 75 , 000 annually , for " incidental expences , " for which our friends reserve only £ 126 a year .

      It must be borne in mind that all our arguments are based upon the presumption that wo have the £ 256 , 480 ; aud let it be borne in mind that , failing in its acquirement , our friends' objects are all unattainable ; therefore , the only question at issue is , which plan would most speedily achieve the proposed grand . object- " theCharter 1 " That is tho whole , the sole , the only question . In fact , the naked proposition is just this : —A certainamount of abstinence ,

      information , self-respect , and so forth , constitutes so many requisites for the attainment of a certain object . The question at issue , therefore , is resolved into a narrow compass , namely , whether or no the means considered indispensable for the accomplishment of the proposed object are attainable , and , if attainable , whether they could be applied to a more speedy achievement of the end . I is for the country , not for us , to give the answer to the question .

      There are some very curious facts connected wUn this document . It denounces idolatry , while it assumes leadership . It claims co-operation , while it respectfully resolves that , with or without it , it will use every " possible effort" for the attainment of Us objects . Let us just aak a question or two . If tbe Dames attached to tho docament bad a . right to expect so much puWio confidsnee , why keep the project secret except from the " Leading Chartists . " Apropos , weimagined that one of the great objections to modern agitation teas Leadership . Why assume leadership t . Why not call a meeting ia London ,-on the spot , « md wheve the pretensions ol the eiX gentlemen were best known , and where , if

      loaded to be discharged , ( also we suppose in the dark , ) when the country would be told , " O , you are too late , the deed is done ; why did not you object in time !" Let this project betaken in conjunction with the enlogiums recently passed upon the majority of the complainants by the Chronicle , Sun , and all the Whig "Establishment , " and also in conjunction with some articles , from 7 a « V , ( who has been ai the head of the conspiracy , ) and we feel convinced thai they have been retained as mid wives to attend the accouchement of " the mountain in labour . " Here

      we have the mountain going to Mahomet , instead of Mahomet to the moan tain , with a vengeance : her © we have a whole nation Surrounded in the dark by half a dozen gentlemen , and handed over , neck and heels , to the tender mercies of a Provisional Government of their appointment } . ' Bnt they are all for Universal Suffrage , and , as a matter of course , they have acted upon that principle , and only elected those whom they knew would be acceptable . In faith , it is marvellous lucky for poor O'CoMiOB that he did not even recommend to Buch an appointment , or offer funds to a missionary , or he would be called a "despot , " and would cease to bean : " IDOL . "

      London is the place that must ? peak out upon thjs subject as to the amount of confidence to be placedf in those who seek ii ; and the country has but one part to act in the concern , namely , to say whether or no , they , the people , are prepared to commit political suicide , by cuttiag the throat of the only association from which they can expect a thorough union , and which they , themselves , have elected in open day . We think we have done our part calmly , temperately , and boldly ; we say to the people Do ye likewise . " " Out of evil comes good . "

      So far from the new scheme tending to weaken or disorganise the Radical ranks , it will have the effect of para \ ysing tne enemy , by evincing the firmnees and resolution with which the "idolators" cease to worship their former "idols , " upon the slightest change of that principle which led to adoration . Our course shall be in this storm , —be it short or be it long , be it a squall or be it a hurricane , —just what it has ever been , straightforward ; r © 3 o 2 red that the good ship Charter , shall not be wrecked even in the dark for want of a good look out .

      WE STAND BY THE PEOPLE . Fall they never can , save bt their own blow . We never wrote an article with one half the pain that we experienced in writing tho foregoing ; and if repentance , confession of error , aud return to virtue , be any part of a Christian ' s duty , we cannot conclude without humbly imploring our misguided friends boldly to confess and manfully to ask pardon , and which , we feel assured , will be cheerfully and unanimously granted . But should it be otherwise , and should the sword be drawn , why then we throw away the scabbard .
