      VAGES OP LABOUR AND "EXTENSIONS " OF COMMERCE . It is extremely important that the qnestion of 9 Extension of Commerce : is it cesirable V should is speedily Stt at rest . If the effects of former " extensions" upon the wages and well-being of the labouring portion of the community have been jdrantageous ; if they have added to the labourer ' s gore of provisions and stock of clothing , in God ' s case let U 3 have more of them . ' let ms join £ e Corn Law Repealers , and badger " total Bepeal" out of Sir Robebi Peel and the " People ' s House" ! But if former " extensions" have not

      bad this effect ; if the condition of the producer of wealth ha 3 not been beUered by them , to say nothing of its being made worse ; if the many and numerous " extensions' * we have already had , have not put more food npon * the tables , and more clothing upon the backs of the werkers , to say nothing of the possibiluj of their having " run away with the most of what were . there ; if former " extensions " have not . had this effect , should we not pause , and isk the owners of machinery why we should demand another 1

      To settle this question we must have the tables we asked fer in a former article . We must see what effect these " extensions" have had upon wages . Are wages as high now as they were in 1810 ? Will they purchase as much bread and beef as they did then ? Does the workman get as much of the eatables , drinkables , and wearables now as he did then ! Has he the means of doing so ? We want

      the tables to answer these questions . To work , then , ihose who are not already engaged . Look up your iroik and wage books . Make out your statements Be very particular . Let us have the truth j and fiienforan answer to the Corn Law Repealers who prate about the necessity of Repealing the Corn Laws , so as to extend commerce to secure to flie labouring men " H igh wages , cheap food , and YLSST 1 TO DO n I

      As a sample of the sort of information we want , seq a guide as to the way in which the tables should be prepared , we subjoin one we have received from Carlisle . The . tale it tells , as to the effects of extensions" of commerce upon the h ^ nd-loom weavers of that city , accords most certainly with the statements made by the " great" mooters of the ** great" coiton district , at their recent gathering in Manchester , but does Hot gay much in favour of farther " extension . " Here the table i 3 , however ; let it speak for itself . Table , shewing the state of the hand-loom-weacing in the city of Carlisle , from ihe year 1805 , up to ihe present period . I i i

      who had heard talk of the English nation . Good God ! how changed ! How , then , did this horrible , this disgraceful , this cruel , poverty como to be npon this once happy nation 1 Where has the plenty fled toM Where is the food , and clothing , and furniture that once made the homes of the working men happy and comfortable ! Who has gotten it ! Where is it all ! We have vastly improved onr means of producing wealth . Science has been called in to our aid ; Chemistry and Mechanics have been enlisted in our service ; we have inanimate power alone' equal to the labour of six hundred and fifty millions

      of men ; how is it that the people are so poor ? How is it , that just in proportion as this inanimate power has increased in amount , the wages and home-cemforts of the workman have decreased How has ihiB come to pass 1 That such is the fact , the revelations made by the " great" cotton masters at their eicnr meeting , as to the utterly destitute condition of the working people of their " great" district , fully prove . That such is the fact the table of wages above given is sufficient evidence . How , then , comes all this to be ] And especially , how comes it to pass , that while , this poverty , and misery , and absolute

      destitution has been coming over the workers , tha owners of machinery have been amassing wealth in a manner unprecedented in the annals of the whole world \ How ia it , that while the bads of the workpeople have disappeared from their cots , '' fortunes" unequaHedin amount have been rapidly made by the great factory masters ! How comes it , that wiile the " meal-kist" and the beer-barrel , and the " haver-bread" creel have departed from the workman ' s home , the Ma&shalls' of Leeds have been able to pOe up such heaps of money , that they can now boast of being possessed of millions ! and

      that the greatest difficulty they have now to contend with is to find " investments" for their enormous capital ! How is it , that while th 8 labourer that produceth lias been reduced from plenty to such a deplorable state , that their masters actually find theza " wishing the Almighty woald terminate their sufferings before morning , " these same masters £ hou ; d"have gathered together such heaps of wealth , that they can publicly boast of being able buy up the aristocracy of England ? Have the " great " fortunes of the masters anything to do with causing the destitution of the " hands" ! Would the workpeople have beenin their present situation , hadanother system of distribution prevailed , which would have

      circulated " the millions" now in Mabshalls' haads through . the pockets and tills of the labourer and shopkeeper 1 Would it have been any worse for the producer and distributor of wealth , had not Messrs . Edmuxd ^ suwosth and Robert Htdk Greg , with a few compeers , become possessed of such vast accumulations , as to be able to buy up the aristocracy Can such heaps--of wealth be accumulated without Causisg poverty to others 1 Is not onr commercial system fundamentally wrong , when it takes all from the worker and gives all to the employer Will an " extension" of it be of any use to any but those who have accumulated and are accumulating their thousands and millions ! Do any other parties ask for snch an ^ -extension " !

      These queries we leave to be answered by the judgment of those ' who read them . The answers to them will lead the workiDg people to agitate for a far different measure of relief to the one recommended by the Leagued Anti-Corn Law Gentry . We fancy they " will be inclined to say to the " great " masters : — " Yoca system has been ' extended ' far enough . 1 : may have worked well enough for you . You have amassed wealth almost beyond bounds ; but you have done so at our expence . You know how -wejlre . You have told the whole world that the effect of jour system upon us has been

      to reduce us-from comfort to destitution . You have proclaimed that many of us * have neither beds nor bedding , nor anything but the bare floor to lie down upon when , nature is exhausted . ' You have trumpeted forth the fact that 'however unnatural it may appear , it is nevertheless true , that in some dwellings old age , youth , and infancy , six , seven , aad eight in number , are obliged to huddle together iu one bed , fur want of means to provide better accommodation J' You have also borne testimony to the fact' that hundreds of our families , both parents and children , have no . change of clothes of any

      description ; the linen of both men , women , and children having to be washed on the Saturday night , the parties having to remain entirely destitute [ naked ! !!] until it is dried 1 ' You have also testified that ' many of our dwellings contain scarcely anything bat the bare waUs /' acd yoa found the inmates so pressed upon by gaunt hunger and' the appalling difficulties usder which they laboured , that they wished the Almighty might terminate their sufferings before morning I' Yov KNOW , and have avowed , that

      this is our present condition . Yotj know , too , what our condition was , before your system came into operation . You know that we then were able to live , and live comfortably . You know that we ha . d wages which purchased for U 3 both beds , and furniture , and food , and plenty of them . You know , too , that ice knoic how most of you then were . You know thatwe know that Be > -jty Gorrsat upon a stool ia the couating-hoase , as a hired book-keeper . You know that we know that John Marshall

      was a journeyman flax-heckler . Yoa know that we know that Tom Staskey and Joe Sxaeki-y were journeymen croppers . You know that -we ' kiiow that John left the shear-board in his clogs to go get wed . Yt , n know that we know the particulars of most of you ; and that we know the particulars rel 3-ing to ourselves . And yoa also know that we know that while you have become immensely rich , ve have become deplorably poor . Your system has taken from us , to give to yod 1 ' Extension of it may be desirable to you . ' Much would have more ! ' Bat what interest have ic . = > in l

      extension I Ought we not rather to wish to return back to our full pastry , our weil-SlIed ' meal-kist / our Sowing milk bow ] , our " bread-creel , " and oar flitch of bacon . These are the things we want , —not' extension . ' If * extension' will give them back again to us , we ask for' extension . ' But former' extensions ' have not added to our store I Ou the contrary , every * extension' has taken from us : until at last we are in the 3 HKation you describe . Tha system may be well enough for you ; but we must have an alteration of it , We must have things on that footing that we can have enough to eat and enough to vrear in return for our labour . And this w « will have . There axe means in our hands to produce enough : we are willing to prodace ,

      zs we have formerly produced : but we must live , and live well , too . There is no reason why we should nor , except it be to enable you to -boast of being so rich as to be able to buy up the aristocracy : aiid we see no fun iu thai I You tell us aristocracies are bad things : we do Eot want another I At all events , aristocracy or no ari 5 ; oeracy ; mill-lords with miilious , or no miil-lortis ; fortunes or no fortnnes , tee must and iciil live , and lire well . ' If your commercial system cannot afford to let us do this , we must alter it . We will not ramain as we are 1 You caunot expect it , nor can you expect that we should aid you in further reducing us in the scale of being . A \ 7 zy , then , with jour projects of 'Extensions' of our present commerce !"

      Such , we opine , will bs the answer oi the operatives to the " great" masters , who ask for their " sireC , voices" and blistered hands in aid of their wicked schemes-to wring more wealth out of the bones and blood of the producing many . In fact , such has been , and such is , the answer enunciated in the woe-begone condition of the Leaguers ' agitation , and in-ihe life and vigour of the people ' s own agitation for right and power . The former is down : the other i 3 rising in importance and stedfastness every day ! .-

      There are several things connected with the recent gathericg of the " great" masters at Manchester ths other day , that we must have a word or two upon . Want of space will prevent this for the present . We . can only here put on record the following , which , we take from the Spectator of Saturday ; " 11 developes a " scheme" of the " great " masters , equalled only in cold-bloodedness and atrocity by the one which was laid and played off , to entrap the agricultural labourers into the manufacturing districts to lover Ihe wages of all engaged in manufacturing labour . The men assembled ktrly in Manchester as the "' Di-puties from the various towns comprised in the

      Untitled Article

      great cotton district" were the" schemers" in both instances . At present we can only just quote the article from the Spectator : next week we shall have something to say upon it . This last scheme shows the nature of the " sympathy" of the " great " masters with those who have been worked to death to fill their money bags . 01 yes , they are full of sympathy ! Read I !! " The Slockport Chronide of yesterday calls attention to a ' tremendous power" ¦ which the manufacturers possess over the agriculturists , immediately available , and perfectly legal la its exercise . ' A . committee of inquiry , similar to that at Leeds , has ju » t made its report ; aud it finds that of the 10 , 000 families in the borough , 3 , 000 belong to rural districts . There are

      4 , 000 persons 3 n the houses viaited totally unemployed , 2 , 800 partially employed . It is calculated that there are at least 4 , 000 persons too many for the employment of the place . In tha agricultural districts there is no want of labour ; and it is proposed to send back the people belonging to those districts , to be maintained oat of the local rates . Reckoning that each family of five persons would consume in poor-rates as much as the rental of twenty-fi ^ e acres , the 3 . 000 families returned from Stockport would consume tho rental of 75 , 000 acres . Lancashire could send back 50 , 000 families , to consume the rental of tracts equal to ' many small counties . Some manafastarers already begin to think of ' clearing their es (< i ! es '~ -ihe manufactories—of their agricultural burdens . The landlords are warned to beware of the manufacturers' ' army of desolation . ""

      The National Petition . —Our publisher , Mr . Hobson , has printed the National Petition for 1842 , on a neat sheet , for the purpose of being extensively distributed amongst those from whom signatures are asked , that they may know for what they are signing . He is ready to supply them to the Associations and to individuals at ihe following charges : —i 00 copies for 2 s ; lfiOOfor 15 s . Petition sheets , of good strong paper , ruled in four columns , and holding two hundred names when filled , may also be had , price ' 2 d . each . The Petition and sheets may also be had from Mr . Cleave , London ; Messrs . Palon and Love , Glasgow ; and Mr . Heywood , Manchester . But in all cases the money must be sent in advance—the price being so low as to preclude credit .

      Henry . Gjbbs . —Had the money he mentions been received at the fsiax-ojfice it would have been ac know ' . edged . Anthony Haigh . —His letter has been forwarded to the general secretary , 18 , Adderley-street , Shaw ' s Brow , Manchester . The Poets—Our poetical friends have been as usual exceedingl y beunteous : we have so large a stock of poetry and apologies for poetry on hand , and our friends supply us constantly so liberally , that we shall not henceforth particularly notice tikis department in our " S olices to Correspondents" We shall select from the mass sent us as much as we have room for , with as much impartiality as possible . Accepted pieces will

      therefore , be known by their appearance in the paper ; and authors whose communications do not appear will not , therefore , conclude that they are rejected because of demerit , as it would be impos sible fur us to find room for half of even the readable poetry that comes tons . C . Davidson and P . Borke . — We have no room , to entitle it to the space it would occupy . Gbacchus writes to cad ihe attention of Chartists to the importance of the land and its cultivation ; and suggests to Air . O'Connor the propriety of placing his principles on this subject , and the plan contained in his letter , published by Mr . Hobton , in the "Labourers' Library , '' before Parliament , in the tJuipe of a Bill .

      The "Northern Star" in thb East Indies . — J . II . writes us that he lately received a letter from a brother now at BangalofG , East Indies , who states that he had there read the Northern Star . A Dundee Chartist . —Should have sent us his name and address : though we should not , even then have inserted his teller . We have much better occupation for our space than to fill it up with further attacks upon , and exposures of , Mr . R . J . Richardson . Until that person clears himself of the horrible imputations which now rest upon him , his character must be sufficiently appreciated by all honest Chartists . There is no need of more light upon it .

      General Council . —The halters' list is omitted because we neither know from whom or whence it comes , nor are the residences appended . The Merthyr Tydvil list is tejt out for the latter ' reason . The Colchester list because it is incorrect , and we have no means of putting it right . John Hall , Btkeb Hill . — We have not got the information he mentions , and shall be glad to receive all particulars from him . George Lindsay , Eccles , will oblige us by writing on one side of his paper only . " Northern Star" Fixibb . —Hull Subscribers wishing to have the large Plates are requested to send in their names immediately to Air . Robert Lundy , Mytongale .

      The Condition op England . —We thank the people of Carlisle for their ttatiftics . We pray for more from all parts of the country . Let all trades bestir tliem . The communications we have yet had arc too exclusive in their character . We want ( he amount of wages , and their gradual rise or fall , for ihe last thirty years , from all trades . Mr . Campbell , General Secretary , would wish particularly to hear from Mr . Candy , Mr . Sine / sir and o . 'her parties to whom he has written lately ; and he also whhes that the sub-Secretaries would immediately convene the General Council to settle the accounts with the Executive as soon as possible . There will be no more cards printed until the accounts are settled . Mr . Campbell

      a / xo wishes to know why Mr . Sidaway , of Gloucester , Mr . Edwards , of Newport , and Mr . Collett , of Banbury , have not communicated with him . Pindeb ' s Chabtist Blacking . —We are glad to see that this patriotic Chartist is doing some good , and we think that he ouyht to be enabled to do a gteat deal more . Mr . Robert Lundy , newsvender , S [ c , of Mylongate , Hull , aulfwrUes us to say that lie has opened a retail agency for Pinder ' s blacking , and that out of the fourpence in the shilling allowed as ( he retail vendor ' s profit he has determined to give threepence to the Executive , re'erv ' mg on y one penny for the trouble and expence of coitduciirig the su / e . This

      is an example worlhjoliowing : we recommend it to the notice of the Jriends in every other town : there must surely be some good Charth-t found in every town who will have enough of put ridlism to sell this blacking , and let the projils of it go to the support of the cause ; he maintaining himself as now . This done to arty considerable extent would provide abundant funds for all the purposes of the Executive , and prevent the Tie cessity for the continual appeals which we are now compelled to make for direct subscriptions . Do let it be done . The Execltiv £ cannot possibly meet in Bristol , on the 3 rd , for want of funds . John Lister lakes us fomeirhat severely lo task for

      what he thinks and designates our " too violent attack on Mr . Clayton , of Huddersfield" He says he knows Mr . Cioytonlo be a " steady , tober , straightforward , pertevering young man , " and desc / iies lam as being "honoured and respected by all the Chartist body in Huddcrific / d ; " and this he thinks quite " sufficient to make a young man like him proud of himself . " He states that the Chartists of IIuddersfield owe much to Mr . Clayton s exertions , and gives several hints about the " unprincipled" leaders of former times , as if for the purpose of contrasting J / r . Ctaytm with them . We do not think him at all happy in his defence of Mr . Clavlon . Mr . Clayton may have been very

      useful to the Hudderfficld Chartists—we have asserted nothing to the contrary ; other persons , " leaders of the Old Northern Union i « Huddersjietd , " may have been vtry " unprincipled , " and may have been concerned in " circumstances that ? could make us startle , if related ; ' we know nothing of it , and therefore don't believe it : nor do we tee what earthly connection it has with Mr . Clayton ' s attack uponus . We have no objection to Mr . Clayton ' s being " honoured and respected by the Hiiddcrtjield Chariists ; " we have a great desire to honour and respect him loo ; we would willingly be as proud of Mr . Clayton as he is staled by his friend to be of himselj ; but we cannot think the assertion and

      insinication of known , xevful , and malicious falsehoods lo be matters that can justly make Mr . C . " proud of Jrimse' f , " or " honoured and respected by all the Cnarlxst body . " At all events , they cannot make him "honoured and respected" by vs . Mr . Clayton thought proper to write to the Scottish Patriot a lie ; he knew it to be a lie when he wrote it ; he so couched and worded it as to make it the exponent of a very petty and malicious effort at ** bearing false witness against a neighbour , " who had deserved differently of and from him .

      TO HAMER ^ TANSFELD , ESQ . " All ciasses will prey upon all other classes , just as uiueh as they can and dare , " Hamer StaKSfeld . Sir , —I had intended to return to the subject of the impracticability and injustice of a repeal of tht Corn Laws , £ 0 long as oar present fixed monetary payments remain ; and I bad also intended to have examined the subject in that point of view in which you seem so confident ft the success of your arguments ; but , having seen what you mooted at the late Leeds anti-Corn Law Meeting , 1 will forego my former intention for a time , and at present address you upou , what you are reported to b ? . ve said at that meeting . ' In the Leeds Times of the 18 th instant , you are reported to have said : —

      " We must go still fuither , and ask for a * re-adjustment of the national taxation , as boiuo compensation to the working classes ; though it is an odd sort of compensation after all * to ask for what is only another measure of justice . Ths annual expenditure , ia round nnmbers , is £ 50 , 000 , 000 , — £ 30 , 000 , 000 of which is required for the interest of the National Debt . Let £ 10 , 000 000 of this be raised by a tax upoa rsnt , and £ 20 , 000 , 000 by a tax upon lnnded arid other property , and theu there will be other £ 20 , 000 , 000 to bo raised by taxt . s on articles of consumptton , \ ehich are chiefly paid by the working ciusseg . Until you , the middle ciasses , demand full justice for the working clneses . you never will . hare their support ; and without it your fcff ^ rts will be lu ' vaial- 1 beg leave to propose full justice , and nothing more than justice , to the working classts . "

      How , in the name , of all that is goed and . gresfc . ' is this " oddkortof compensation , " as you justly call ife , to give full justico to the working ciasses . ? " By a \ l that is ridiculous , but you nudtile ciass theorists do spur your Rosinante at a famous rate , when you get astride ! Just tell us , Mr . Stausfeld , how this ceasing totake money from the ¦ waittcoatpocket , and taking it from the breeches pockot instead , is to do such "full justice" to the labourers as to cause them to givo you their support ? ' IK ) , - tell-us how" this changing of the species , without diminishing the quantity , " ( as M'Culloch foolishly said on another occasion , ) is either to fill the bellies , or clothe the backs , or in any way do full justice to the working ' classes ?" . Come , out with it ! tfcll us how Wall

      Let us take a case or two , by way of example , to see how your •' . f ull-justica" p ! au would be likely to act , Suppose , then , a landlord with an income of a £ 1 , 000 a-year , and that his taxes which he has now indirectly ,-. to pay upon t'ae avticles he consumes in the expending of his £ l . C 00 amount to £ 300 , leaving £ 700 net for the articles themselves . And let us also suppose , that Hamef Stahsfeld , Esq ., has come in with his truly " oddsirt of compensation , " which is to do " fail justice and nothing morota the working chases ;" and It t us suppose that he proposes , in " King Cambysua '• vien , ' to demand , in order to •' do full justice to the working classes , " mind , that every £ 1 , 000 of rent shall have laid upon it & dtVeci tax of £ 300 ; and

      suppose that he has the power to make his proposition become the law of the land . ' Suppose all this , what would you gain by it ? Would the £ 300 taken in dirtel tax'js afftxt either the landlord or the labourer any moie than the like sum taken by indirect taxes ? Would you be anynearer doiDg " full justico to the working classes , " or would it in any way tend to restore his meal-kist ? " But I had forget—your very clever associate , Mr . Plint , has tcld you . that "taxes have nothing to do with the , price of articlta , " . and that consequently when the" iatidlord was purchasing his tobacco , bis tea , his coffee , sugar , his malt—hi short , his everything , and paid the tax upon them in the price of tho article , the tax formed no part of the price , and did not affett his

      income the same aa if he paid the same amount immediately to the tax-gatherer ! Really , this " Science of Political Eoonomy" makes strange creatures ot us all . Well might Byron exolaimr- ^ V ; " Tell U 3 ^^ what you think ot' yojor great thinkers r Bafc , perhaps , yoa : will tell me ^ taat you will not proportion the direct and indirect taxes so exactly , but that yoa mean V ) lay on a greater proportion of direct tax upon the landlord , and that in such a way as BhaU decidedly affect him . W&y , really . Sir , are you sincere ? Do you think , that so long as they have the

      making of the laws , they will not take care that the consumer of the produce of the land kas the tax to pay , as effectually aa if he , the consumer , was paying it as usual in the prlee of his articles of consumption ? Are you really so bewitched with "theory ran mad , ' ! as to suppose that those who ebnimaed both estates In Parliament will be overseen in this way ? Do you really suppose that they will cease to be " the pewer working underneath , and which will reap even more than all the advantages resulting from any such measurer' : ¦ - : * .,. ' - :.: ¦ '¦ " - . ¦¦ . ' •• . ¦' / .. "

      Bat yott may reply , that you intend to give this " odd sort of compensation "—this "full justice" to the labourers , in order that they may give you their support , in obtaining a total and immediate repeal of the Corn Laws / What !! and this , too , after you have laid a direct tax upon the produce of your own hind ? Would you compel the English farmer to pay , in consequence of the poverty occasioned by taxatioa , ten tiints the amount of ' poor-rates , and ten times the amount of county rates ? Would you compel him to pay these , ani compel him , too , to allow * the parson to

      taka his tenth sheaf , his tenth , potato , and his . tenth pig : and , iu addition to all these , lay a direct tax upon his produce ; and then would you al / ow the foreigner , who had paid none of bar . poor rates , none of bur county rates , who was unacquainted with the tithingmanj either in his wheat field or piggery ; who had none of the direct tax to pay , you have laid upon the British farmer ; I ask , Sir , would you allow the foreigner , who had :: none of these things to pay , to compete , ( or rather engross , ) in the market with the English farmer ?

      What would you think of the Government which shonld lay a tax upon the English railway proprietor , of one penny per head -per milej and which should allow the foreigner to come in and lay down a railway , and suffer him to run without any tax at all ? Would Dot yon think it a curious exemplification of the principles of free trade ? But What would you think of a people who should petition for such " justico ? " Would you not think It an" odd kind of compensation , " and a singular measure of " justice" which was meted out to them , in conalderiitioiv of all their skill and capital ? Remove the taxes ; place the English farmer upon an equal , footing , in all things , witt * the foreigner you wish him to compete with . But Without this , I think you will find it difficult to persuade the people of England for such an " odd compensation" and ' full measure of justice , " to support you ia tho perpetration of such monstrous wrong . ; :

      But , Sir , even allowing that the shifting of the taxes from articles of consumption to rents , funds , and other property : even allowiDg that the " changing of the species Without diminishirig the quantity , " wouidiiaw a tendency t * act to your heart ' s desire , how do you suppose that it ia to be come at ? Is it not the everr lasting prtt jnce , that if tho Charter became the law of the land , it would be o measure of confiscation ? that it would haye a tendency to teke the estates of the aristocracy , and give them to God knows ¦ who ? W « know well that these charge * are false ; we know weJJ , too , that those who make them know them U > be false ; bvAihey are made ; and are made the basis of all the immeasureable inBults and injury heaped upon the devoted heads of the too-patient , too-enduring

      wealthproducers of this country . And , Sir , let me ask you what would your proposition be , allowing it to act as yoa would insinuate , but ai measure of direct and violent confiscation ? o Would it not be , if your implied opinions be correct , a taking of £ 30 , 000 , 000 a-year from the present owners of property , and distributing it / imbng the other classes of society ? In the Warmth of your feelings , you may perhaps be ready to exclaim , " that they deserve it ! that they have wrung infinitely more from the industrious classes of this country ; and that it will only be a sort of compensation for their long course of plunder and wrong they have Inflicted upon the country . " - ' Welli Sir , bo . that as it may , how

      are you to brin * about the end you profess to havo in view ? You wiJl answer , by bringing the voice of the people to bear upon the aristocracy—by the " pressure from without' ? Andj can yon really have hopes that the aristocracy will yield to any ' ' pressure" that , on its onset , precla , ims it ; will deprive them of £ 30 , 000 , 000 ayear ? Chartism may be foolish ; it may be wild ; it might tend to prdduce distress and anarchy ; but , Sir , at ail / events .: itcoiUd hot be worse than confiscation ! and , therefore , Chartism would be a great deal likelier to be conceded , than a proposition which , at the first bluafa , proposes to deprive the landlord and fuudlord of property to the amount of £ 30 , 000 , 000 !!

      But you perhaps will tell mej that I have overdrawn the .. picture , and that it . will not act as a system of confiscation to the extent that I seem to suppose . Not act to the extent that I suppose What ! was all this vapour , then , about * ' the odd sort of compensation , * ' and " dernaudiHg full justice for the labourer ? " If it be only to •> change the specie * without diminishing the quantity" wherefore 'this attempt to frighten the aristocracy , or gull the people , by the pompous parade of " demanding a re-adjustment of our national taxation ? " Come , Sir , what did the words mean ? Either the nwasuire will have the tffect of

      giving the working classes " full juftice " and " an odd kind of compensation , " by causing a confiscation , or it will not . If it will cause a confiscation , do you think that the aristocracy are such old wemen in breeches that they will sooner pass a measure which will deprive them of their power , than they would grant Universal Suffrage ? Universal Suffrage could but confiscate , at the worst ; but your iheasnre . is ' .. co ; yfacalionto begin witli . ! 'II itjour words have any meaning . But they have no raeaping !! Youknow thatthey are words which are " full of sound and furys—signifying nothing" !

      Let me beg of jou , Sir , to give over this mede of procedure . It is unworthy of you . Be assured from mo that it is perfectly in vaiu to attempt to mislead the people by any such claptraps . You acknowledge that you cannot obtain your ends without ttie people ' s support . Then be honest at once ! Hold o ' iit-the-right hand of fellowship to the labourer , and teil him that youeo with him for " full justice , "TJNiviESAL Suffrage ; . and then they are with you to a man . NvtUicg less can sexve you . Causes are at work which will assuredly reduce this country to a second or third late in the scale of nations ' , unless the power of the people , in the shape of Universal Suffrage , be at the back of the country ' s intelligence . That you may take that , part which becomes : an honest man and a patrkt . is the sincere desire of Yours truly , James Penny . Millbridge , Dec , 2 ? , 18 * 1 . v
