      TO FeARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . LETTKK III . 8 t » , —Pint and last , enough ha » been said , and done to oonTince the most sceptical , that the smallest meawire bavusg Jtutice in it , an * taegreatett « anctioued by that principle , demanded bj thv working classes , -will be alike resisted by the aristocracy . Taen why abuffle ? if a straggle out come , ltt t \ he for a fnllmeasure—not for an isolate } point If we must beard the lion in his Sen . let us mains sure that there wffltoaoKed t ? resort to ptmilM 1 measures a second time , Let ssdo our ¦ work , so th&t none Till hsTe cause to say afterwards tbat their " grievances were overlooked . Bach Is the only safe method of doing the job , and to all appearance the only w » 7 it can be done at att . ' Far a fall

      measure all loTers of justice will unite , though refosiBg to do so fer a single item . Nor conld the shamrefc * xa * r- Maltftttsian-expediency-clique shilly sh&lly ¦ with reform m they have heretofore done , " nor show ea&se for dissenting from the general movement , sa all tfceir objects are involved . Thtse -would fau -under the ordeal of disappointiaeBt , and return trom the fire j purified in their motives , and honest through ~ ne « es-1 aijy ; nor would any doubt remain concerning -what all j were contending far , as tfie case , taken as a whole , Is j simple and dt finite , and may all be calculated beforehand , consequently nothing imperfect or insnffteiftnt BeedLbe introduced . In my last ktiar , I pointed out pretty clearly th * i white monopoly exists s > slave class must of necessit y exist , as no monopoly can . be but at the expeace of < J b-Briring some part of the comsaunity of what just' a » awards ; and likewise in a monpolising system wt en for lal

      naster and servant naturally are , ihedemsad ams most in all cases square with the amomnt paid in a ooo-» oJt , with the exception of that expended in < rther ioaatrUs , whieh eanaot be recfcoaed upon by / the tabourers of ibis . And , further , tbat tha- nab ue at « nployaent entirely depends en the taste of those , holding monopolies . We * U know goods are manufr jetured * » meet the demand -ot the mome * classes ; an A these « re they ; and frrtfeer « till , that oar present system is a isir specimen « f -what monopoly will do . I b ive likewise shown , that feefere we ean palely remove the present moBOpaiisteg sfBtem of -servitude aad slavery , ether avocation * for men to exist must be concocted , understoed , and agreed upon —»« uch being necessary to eire stability an 4 direction to > the mevemest when the hour of trial e « nas ; and farther , that the slave class need expect no relief until « U tbU is accomplished . And it new racstis to point -out the nature of the difierent grades of « no » opoly , * nd the moans by which everything of tie tend may fee-fiiipenaed with .

      That the world , and all that U therein , is alike the sphere of action of-ell men ; and that all depend thereon tor their nr / existence , no oae will deny . It is prepared to meet a »» ecessitie » of all . Nor have the boos « f men other HBOMce * to tarn to . This is the patrimony of the bums * rwe , and they hrre n » oVher . And in its « Mi . > CET «« t sod distribution , all politic * and theology are involved . Seta * the case -stands clear . Bat the natszv of oar-relation towards the material worki , and to « wfr other , and the action of a principle of justice , as bearing thereon , is what has never yet been defined fey statesmen or diffuses , or had it been so other methods had been adopted to carry it ooi than have ever yet been employed .

      The social tie or compact -is tha grand focus on which all other arrangements depend . If wrong , wrong must follow ; if founded in justice , it must be definite in its **** r * i ** T , and so formed as to exclude none . All must enjoy equal constitutional rights , in every case ; an equal standing is society , under regulations so formed , that none can be deprived of an / part These who would understand the laws and regulations calculated to meet this emergency , must turn to -tfae human character , and know , once for aH , the germs cf the Jaws to govern the destiny of the human race , sra inherent in the mted of man . Had the Persians known this , they would sot have formed their constitution in nature to meet that sf a ram ; hot would the Grecians have formed their system in accordance

      with that of a goat ; nor theaaeie&t Rosiaas , like that cf a leopard , as if the nature of man , ' and the nature of say of these creatures , were the same , that he should be subjected to usage agreeable to these . Nor would the priesthood hare thrown a lamb's skin over Con-StaotiBe ' s leopard , and permitted its spirit to remain , as if men were leopards , in Baton , though different to appearance , Nor would tbe more modern lawgivers have thought of governing with no constitution at all ; as if homan nature was at bo consequence as regard * law-making . Let those who would correct tbeir errors take a different coarse ; let ttern admit human nature as their data ; by so doing great mysteries will be made plain ; aad they will detect

      constitutional errors , and political frauds , forged , whether by mistake or design , anterior to to the days of Abraham , sad which exist to this hoar . Grievances , to correct which the ten resolutions were presented to Hoses , to correct which the prophets wrangled with the axistoex&tical rulers of the several ages in which they lived , to correct which the Saviour came , among us , and promulgated bis doctrines ; and many since have filled similar avocations , and all nave come short of the mark . ' Let us at test believe the Saviour meant human nature and art that of the beasts of the field ) , when be spoke of oBstiiutlonal law -. and with that understanding try the merits of his doctrines .

      It is sow ascertained pRUosophieally , supported by Berelation , and borne out by actual observation , that there are seven principles in the human mind which « osmect mankind with the material world , and with « aeh other ; conseqoenUy there are seven natural rights-As it is the right of all men that all and each of these principles should meet their respective objects undiaterbed .- and the nature and object sf a principle of justice is to fire laws to effect this . Of the principles is question , three being men in contact -with the Sttterial world , and may be expressed ! thus : —Lore « f food , love cf property , and love of power . No monopoly can be as regards the material world , but la conjunction with the avocations of one or more of these

      prini-i plM The others affect men in their relation to each other , and may be expressed thus . —Love of sodety ; love of home ; Ioto of offspring ; ud sexual love ; further than these seven principles and their several objects , no raisvndezstandisg can arise among men , in mm far as this world and their intercourse are concerned ; all monopolies , all or j art legislation , all wrongs , either public or private , are traceable to the misdirection of some or other , or altogether of these principles ; and the application of a principle of justice , for the guidance of these in their relation to their several objects , is all that is required to put as end to all the misery and injury th&t men through ignorance hare mutually inflicted on each other .

      Sir , l « ok at the founds tion , and say how far Chait '~ sm goes to remedy the evil , or what point is less worthy of consideration , than that on which the People ' s Gbaitsr rests ; it will be perceived that that document is grounded on one of the heads in question , namely love of power , and of course is right in as fax as it goes ; but it should be kept is view , Universal Suffrage , and the People ' s Ckaiter , are two different things , the vote for Members of Parliament is unexceptionable , but other functionaries hold bust , who require to be looked alter as wril as they , and conse quently should come under the same veto .

      Still th « great error is , that of resisting the consideration of the other heads altogether ; which otthsae is less important than that on which the Charter rests , or bow comes the right to vote to be more a political question than any of the ( then ? is it not necessary teat all and each of these rights should be established by Act of Parliament ? Is the monopoly of the prodno * of labour less important , or the monopoly of the natural material , that jurtic « should sot preside over theseor the monopoly of combination , force , and compulsion —or of butiright—w of education—or is the victim of seduction , and the woes of the brothel , a thing to pass over in silence ? In either of these cases , latrs founded in justice may be applied ; and I call on the sappoiters of democracy to show cauw why they should sot—or failing to do so , to form the Ch&ittr of our rights so as to demand the whole .

      A primary reason why . ail these principles in their relation to their respective objects , shonM be under the guidance of a principle of justice is the following : —the human heart loves to have abundance of the good things of this life ; and likewise to be the possessors of property , and to have power ; but it so happens that all are ^ mtu * in these respects ; then why i » the social tie made to admit part to participate in those blessings , and to exclude others 1 Had justice been at its formation , this bad not been the cue ; likewise the human heart loves independence , and to bare a home , and to have offspring , and to . enjoy Benaoal love . Sow were only a part of the human family led instinctively to regard these blessings , or were dependent on the necessaries derived from these sources ; then , say I , let those enjoy them , and exo . ude the rest ; bnt since all are alike susceptible and dependent , rf justice is at all to be attended to , the social tie must be formed bo as to secure ^ he blessings alike to all ¦

      still all the dj jpafce i , concerning these , Tirst , the monopoly of h * d ; of itself thU iff of amaU value , nature yields not , eo aseqaently all depends on labour ; money commands lr . bour , and labour prodiees the neeesssrteB of life , aad I ud fornisbea the ingfedisnta from which these are pr educed , consequently the ooniUtotion stands thus : —mo fley being the acting impulse , those who possess it give the holders of the earth so pi « eh for the use of the ir community , and the holde r * of : laboar so much for tiieirg ; these operating on each , othir " predace articles ( , f commerce , so the natural simple proposition of the er ten stands , —the monopoly of power being only service * , Ob tat the mainteasnee 4 t- these others relations . . From . thia , view the position , of the representatives i if \ iabour : first , the land monopolists fcave

      deprived . them of their patrimony , and from their . position in sot iety , and the coantless number who lire ' on their P" ^ ' ice , and labour not , we maj judge how far they * re equitably dealt with by the money-holders and thir i and lastly , the- monopoly of machinery . To the ^ e . 'king part of the oosamuniVy this ii iBjustioe even ace Arding to the established order of things ; if the or jgiosl agreement was that one party should hold the * il , and another Us produce , neither bad a right to e jiploy a neutral agent to deprive the holders of labour < I what the constitution awarded to them , namely , the ' profits derived from toil ; to the full amount of all ever produced by machinery and pocketed , by the moneyholders , has labour been deprived of its constitutional reward ; from which consideration oonceraing the

      conduct of the money-holders , to tha holders o ( labour ( sot mentioning toe inadequate remuneration farUbour at all times ) it is gross impudence in them to come forward and ask the holders of labour to assiat them ia -fighting their battles with the holders of land ; we know it U the interest of the money-holdea , ihxt land should be cheap and labour cheap . It ii the interest of the holders of each of these , that their respective commodities should be dear ; to meet which the landholders ta defend their side of the question , have enacted the Corn Laws and other similar imposts , through which they have still been able to keep their grounds , while on the other hand , labour being wholly unprotected has gradually sunk under both . Had the money-holders heretofore dealt fairly with the rights of labour , those who live thereby Bight now assist to Ted » ce the price of land ; but * s it is , that mutt remain a neutral

      question- with them , while the money-bolder has the power to pot the difference in their pockets . Would they know tbe intentions of these mea towards their siderf the quertion , tt may be tested thus : —lay a tax on' machiaery of all kinds , according to produce , so that upas the whole , all work done thereby shall exceed the price of the same thing done by hand labour , with a restriction to exclude foreigners from supplying the demand . Such enactments would do for labour what tha Com Laws weold -do for land , viz , raise its value . But would the money-holders comply with this ? the cry against tke iniquitous Corn Laws , &c , is nothing to what would be raised against th&t Still were it possible to enforce such laws , would any food result from it ? All that could be attained from such enactments , would be merely the continuance of a system of Government in whose formation justice has no part .

      You who depend on labour leave these parties to manage their matters as they best eas ; you cause is not isvolred in their squabbles , nor its remedy in the objects they coRtend for . The contt taUoa is grounded on the monopoly of your rights , and nothing short of a total dissolution , and a return to natural principles , can avert your doom . By taking this coarse , you may yet bs able to assume that position on this earth that nature intended aad justice entitles you to . Of the nature and number of your rights , I have spoken already ; and it now remains to point ent the nature of laws necessary to establish and maintain then . But as these are the constitutional laws of a Christian Government , and , consequently , the real Charter of our rights , I shall reserve their consideration for my aext ; and we shall then see , by the way these are received , bow Car X am justified in saying tbe many know not their rights , nor hew they are to be attained , even if they had the power .

      In the mean time—to know we have rights is one thins , and to know the nature of the laws whereby they may be established is another , aad both are alike important ; rtnj , from the exertions at present employed to-attain this very desirable end , I cannot anticipate much opposition to a set of laws wh 6 se establishment would at once and permanently Berate this to all ; competition or co-operation is tbe work , as competition is the result of' injustice , ao co-operation flows from laws founded on justioe ; whether i& . it better to cooperate with others in - "niTitftinlng the just equilibrium of our rights , or spend our days in competition to gain a scanty portion of the bounty of nature from the happy few who monopolise all to themselves T Our constitution is made to completely exclude the greater part , and competition is the result , as

      all must live ; and if the means of « Tirt 6 W 0 » ara monopolised , they must be procured at . whatever price from those enjoying the extraordinary privilege of possessing them ; by altering the constitution so u to include all co-operation must follow , as the cause of competition is entirely removed , and the object of man ' s pursuits wholly altered in the ene case ; his object is to secure a standing in the other to maintain what ia already secured . . The advent of a principle of justice bequeaths this much to all mankind , without any exertion on tbelr part , farther than ttriit adherence to die law * of heaven , and so much we deprive ourselves of by trampling on national rights ; this is the bounty of heaven , and adberence to justice and benevolence , are the conditions on which we enjoy it ; nor will it do for those who contend for justice to overlook thia view , of the case .
