TO THE WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND . Fellow-COX 5 STBTMEK , —In my last letter , I endea" oared to prove to yon that the rejection of the K&liomd Petition -was contrary to the principles of Chartism , and that the objections ¦ urged "were not suffieaeniiy forcible to induce reasoning men to deny their English and Irish , brethren an opportunity of expressing their grievances . The common argument that no extraneous matter abould be introduced In a petition praying for the People ' s Charter , appears to me very fatile , after the lengthened statements made in the last petition concerning the Earl of G Jdigan , Captain Tucfcetfc , and many other persons , democratic as -well as aristocratic I would ask , ^ htttier our grievances do not deserve a more , honourable reward than the names or condnct of blustering fools in the House of . Lords or the House of Commons '
That part of the subject may be dismissed , and tie leal ground of objection brought prominently forward , and in doing so , I feel satisfied tiiat , unless more powerful reasons remained unstated , the objectors are too acute and sensible to be satisfied themselves with the ¦ weak positien they have chosen . Jealousy and prejudice are contemptible weapons amongst Chartists , and their aspirations will not pass current for solid argument in Scotland . - It appears to me that the more serious objections may be disposed of nnder three heads . " First objection , that a repeal of the insh Union is mentioned . Second objection , that the English Poor Law is desoanced . Third , that a repeal of the Corn Laws is not prayed for .
I am satisfied from my knowledge of the men who object , and also from reports in the public press , that these three heads embrace all the solid objections worth answering . These objectors , under tha first head , act tinder the idea that because we introduce the repeal question , it is playing a game between O Connor and O'ConneU . To this I reply that the question of Repeal is a nutter for the Irish , people to resolve upon , and is a simple question bttween right and wrong not between If a majority of the Irish people decide npen Repeal , ( and that is all we Bay or mean in the petition ) , then they ought to have it , and I shall go with the Irish people , whether O'Connell is against them , or O'Connor for them . It is not for Scotland but for Ireland to tirge it as an objection that the Repeal question is introduced in the National Petition .
Ireland approves and Scotland objects , not that Repeal should also extend to Scotland , but that Repeal is mentioned at all for Ireland , where the Union presses injuriously , and consequently where separation woald benefit ' the complainers . I repeat again , it is a question Ireland alone has to decide upon , and , as far as I can judge of men , O'Connor nn ? aT \ B te have Repeal for Ireland , if Ireland wants it ; and O'Connell means to speculate on the credulity and contributions of a warmhearted , long-confiding , and much-abused people . 1 may also state once mere , that believing what I have stated of O'Conneli to be true , the best service we can do Ireland is to force Dan to give her a real boon , or prove himself to be a mere adventurer in politics , and varnish-manufacturer for poor old Ireland .
let it be proclaimed in Ireland that Scotland and England reject her claims for Repeal , and O'Connell ' a hands are instantly strengthened by your refnsal , and his words verified that the " Sassenachs" refuse justice to Ireland . Ton , my friends , can then imagine the hsar t-bumtngs which would arise—the divisiens which would ensue—the weakness we would exhibit ; and yoor common enemies "would once more act upon the old maxim of the aristocracy , " Divide and conquer . " Daniel O'Connell declares that , we do not sympathise with Ireland . Let us prove it to lw false , bj compelling Dan on the other hand either to elevate or desert his colours in the cause of Ireland and justice . We need Ireland ' s help , we solicit it ; then let us induce Ireland to eo-operate with us by satisfying her that her grievances are to be xecard&d with ours , and her emancipation sealed on that day when Great Britain « h * Ti inscribe amongst her statutes the People ' s Charter .
The second objection arises from a deep-seated eon-- viction in th « minds of many Scotchmen , that the principle of the Poor Law Amendment Bill is good , and that conviction springs from a belief in the doctrines of MilthES . The heart of the objection lies in the body of Mai thus . I can make considerable allowance for such a belief p rinting in Scotland , eastern end education have contributed to make the Scottish people averse to parish relief , and to consider such aid , even in cases of emergency , to be a disgraee to a labourer's family . The English people on the other hand have cuBtom and education on the opposite side of the question , and ever since the reign of Qoaen . Elizabeth the laws bare com - manded in-doQc t « lie £ to the aged i& 3 infirm , and to those for whom no work could be found . '
Bota nations have a distinct right to relief during irickness , protection during age , and food when out of work ; and the fond from which relief should come ought not to be from casual charity , poor-rates , or soap-kitche ns , but from the church lands ; and , if their revenues are not sufficient , from all kinds of property . The church lands is Scotland were divided amongst the aristocracy at the Revolution , and the clergymen ef the church inculcated it as a religious duty that every man should endeavour to save out of his earnings a sum suitable to support him and his family , and that he should calculate for every possible emergency . The Scottish people , therefore , to ssrve the aristocratic holders of tke lands of the old abbeys and monasteries
( the produce ef which the poor formerly consumed did as they were taught , and to the present day conceive that they are performing a moral and sacred duty by living upon indifferent food , wearing insufficient clothing , and renouncing as disgraceful that aid which , if ever relief was sacred , thevr * B must be , because it Originally was a church right , for the benefit of the p » or , to hold land in the country . I do not bJaxne my countrymen as much as I lament tha injurious results upon Scotland , and my heart bleeds when I see a poor , industrious , and worthy man , conscientiously fasting for the benefit of the landowners , and stinting himself , and bis children of food and clothing , that he may save them from a just tax , and the performance of their dut ' cs to the poor .
My fellow countrymen , pause before you condemn Englishmen , and in their name I will not accuse you of following the habits of your fathers , founded , in this Ttspect at least , upon mistaken , and to themselves unjust grounds . The English Church lands , at the revolution , were not all transferred to the landlords as yours were . A large proportion was tsanaferred to the Reformed Establishment , whose income is even now about nine millions a year . Qoeen Elizibeth and her councillors made a law by which the peoplei instead of having relief at the old abbeys , should have a composition granted to them as part payment , and that was recorded in the 43 rd Act of her reign , wherein work or Traces were to be found for the able-bodied , and indoor , or cottage relief for the aged , the sick , and infirm .
Remember , this was only part of their rights , as the aristocracy , and particularly Lord John Russell's family , had many slices out of the Church lands , thereby diminishing the fund . To this legal and just relief the English people have " been accustomed for centuries , and you cannot demand them to give up their rights . Not can any mas . condemn msn in demanding them unless he is prepared to approve of the aristocracy retaining the land of the poor , and will defraud the present appropriation of the church income . If you have such men amongst the Chartist ranks who are ready to pursue that line of argument amongst working men , lam satisfied few just men in Scotland will fallow them ; and to make it impossible for any to do so , " I will new inform you what the New Poor L * w has done .
The poor rates in England are levied principally for the middle aui working classes ; and to make them as odious as possible , one class of officers after another , ending with the sew poliee , have been and are paid oat « f the poor-rates . Ibis created dissatisfaction , and the Government instead of falling b * ck upon the old remedy , viz ., the ehurch lands , ancient and modern , fell upon the pei >" r \ and began by refeahag all in-door relief to the aged and infirm , ( except in a Union Bastile ) , and no relief to
the able-bodied who conld find no work , and consequertly were starving . The New Poor Law made Hie "Dnlsn Workhouse as abominable as a prisan for the purpose of forcing the working classes to adopt your system , or of working for any wages they couM get , rather than enter a poor man ' s prison , wkere his diet , dress , and his treatment were those of a felon , and where , to carry out Maltbus ' s notions , he was to be separated from his wife , and his wife from his children . I wiil not enlarge upon the cruelties of the system , as I wish only to reason with you .
Ton -will now perceive that the 43 rd of Elizabeth was passed , as your system was adopted , to benefit the holders of national and church lands . The Jfew Poor lw Bill was pissed to benefit or remove the burdens of the rate-psyen or middle class ; therefore , in both eases , hss the labourer been deprived of his rights , and ia both hss he been sacrificed to the interests of other lassos . \ I have given you & rapid historical view of the question , and traesd the effects , as exhibited in tb . 3 custom of both nations . To « waaVno relief because you have been taught to consider tha landlord ' * robbery of jour poor lands as being just , and becausa your ancestors were deluded into the idea that the lands of the old abbeys were perversions . and trippings of idolatry , which no trne CfrrMiaH ought to defile his hands or home ¦ with . ' - ' - ¦
The EngTisS people demand relief , not only on Christian grounds ^ bet on others equally reasonable and just , and tfisy leave ^ you to defend yonr aristocracy , whilst they oppose theirs and their churchmen besides . TheEaglish ^ people go inacfe deeper into the question than you-flot RSMrfailst you conceive it to be morally light to-rave-out of your present wages , they eoneeive both their earnings-sal yours to be inadequate for the pBrpDss , and decline admitting the principle you act upon until they have not only a fcir wage for their labour , but also a landed provision for the poor who may be in the land .

If your national burdens were removed , and your wages doubled , then your saving clause might be introduced ; but whilst the burdens have been increased and wages lessened , they think it an additional wrong that their legal provusien should also be taken « u > ay when they have become poor by causes over which . they are not permitted to hate any controuL - You say it is morally wrong to ask or receive relief ; and you would be right if you had justice done to you and a political power always to enforce it ; and apply your rule only to the able bodied who refuse to work .
The English people instead of supposing that they are morally wrong to marry and have a family , conceive it to be morally right , and the wrong to be at the door of those who have created a system of oppression under which a labourer cannot earn enough to support the largest family he could have . The English people also conceive that it is morally wrong to support or submit to oppression in any form ; and , placing the cause of poverty , and starvatien , and Poor Laws at "the proper door , they demand an efficient and enduring remedy in the Suffrage . You perceive by this time that habit and education have , in a great measure , produced your separate systems , and whilst I lament an evil habit , I ask without fear of contradiction , which customs have justice on their side , the English with the poor , or the Scotch withont them .
I am , my fellow-countrymen , satisfied that you will reason upon this letter and arrive at & pioper conclusion , and whilst I leave the objectors of the National Petition as defenders of aristocratic robbery and pious fraud , I shall conclude by reminding you thatour Convention acted upon an extraordinary role of legislation in rejecting one petition before they bad drawn up a better . Yours , sincerely , In the cause of justice , P . M . M'DOUALL . " Wisbeach , Cambridge .

XitVERPOOIi . —Oa Tuesday evening , Mr . Bairstow delivered a long , argumentative , and eloquent lecture in the Association Room , Preston-street , to a crowded and highly enthusiastic audience . - Peddie the Victim . —The following extract from a letter received from- Mrs . Peddie , by a friend , shews that the situation of this unfortunate man is still little better : — " He has no prospect of being relieved of any portion of the term of his sentence , but wishes much that he might by any means be removed to York Castle . To give you some idea of the horrors of a winter's evening spent in Bsverley House of Correction , I shall make tbe following extract from his letter : —
'" I expressed a wish to tbe inspector who lately visited me , that I might be favoured with a fire in my cell during the dead of winter , where I am locked up at six o ' clock at night , without fire or light Sleepless nights are one of the consequences of my complaint ; indeed it is generally in tbe night that I suffer most acutely . The window of my cell fronts the east , the iron frame of which either from its nature ^ or clumsy construction , does not fit the wall closely , so that it admits the » ir very freely ; it ifl moreover placed
immediately at the foot of the bed . In a direct line with it , at the top of tie bed , is a large hole in the wall , above a foot square , meant as a ventilation I presume , but which acting upon the window , keeps up during the night a constant draught or current of air upon the face of the sleeper , which , during the late strong east winds became so powerful as on some occasions to move the bed clothes above me ; a » d I have not once , but often , found tracts or small books left by me upon my bedstead at night , strewed over the floor in the morning by the strength of the breeze . *
" In addition to this sorry accommodation , my husband has Buffered so much from the dietary system of the place on his stomach , that he has been frequently under tbe necessity of starving himself for a few days to get rid of it After much petitioning he has been allowed the great boon of one herring two days in the week . He has also been allowed an additional blanket , for which he is thankful , and which he considers a real blessing . The only hope in which it appears his friends can serve him is , if possible to get him removed to York Castle . "

m Extensive Conflagration in Belfast . —We regret to announce the complete destruction by fire of Mr . Duffield ' s extensive provision stores in James ' s-street . The fire broke out last ( Thursday ) night , between ten and eleven o ' clock , and at the time we went . to press , presented a most alarming aspect , the whole range fronting the street being one mass of flame . Tke fire seems to have commenced in the rear part of the store , and quickly extended over the whole of this extensive and valuable building , notwithstanding the exertions of the different fire-engines , which were speedily brought to the spot . That part of the buildings facing James ' e-Btreet , is about 150 feet in length , and three stories in height ; and , when in full blazj , presented an appearance much resembling , though on a somewhat smaller scale , the dreadful
fire in the Tower of London . Notwithstanding the torrents of rain which poured down during the whole time thousands of spectators were collected on the spot , watching with anxiety and wonder the progress of the alarming scjne . We were informed that the store was full of hams and other provisions ; but as to the pecuniary extent of the devastation we have no means of knowing at present . We have not learned whether the property was insured . The manner in which the officers and men of the 25 th Regiment exerted themselves was beyond the highest praise which we could bestow , and the police force , ably directed by Mr . Coulson , deserve similar praise . So much of the property as could be removed from the premises was carried out and thrown into the street , aud the greatest precaution used to prevent any of it being carried off . — Belfast News Letter .
